What's more degenerate in Modernz simic Oko or Urza/Whirza?
Normally i don't play top tier. But i feel like being completely degenerate with a deck. Who do you guys think will get me punched in the face faster? Urza Whirl or Simic Oko?
I'm just a newbie in playing Magic The Gathering. They told me to go for a Goblin deck for newbies like me. I'm enjoying it but I want to change and shift to Humans and for a really tight budget $12 below and for casual/tourney. Thank you.
with a budget of 12 you are restricted to play mono colored decks. almost any non basic land in humans would take the entire budget in just one land
Welp, looting got banned and I’m gonna move away from dredge now. I wanna try something a bit more grindy though. Unfortunately Jund and Abzan with sfm are out of my budget. Pretty much anything else will do though. I’d love to be able to grind as well as having an oops I win button. I’d like to be fairly competitive. I’d love to go to a go and be able to put up decent results. Smth like twin or red prison in legacy. Any and all ideas are appreciated. Thanks!
well the best "fair (ish)" proven deck right now is eldrazi tron, karn+6 mana win you the game (SB=Mycosynth Lattice).
also, more combo than grindy (but have a lot of interaction), mardu death shadow is great right now, with some set up the combo kill is right there (discard or another protection like the new mother of runes+Hex Parasite+Temur Battle Rage ).
Lastly, current mardu pyromancer is dead, but i could see a similar shell, slower with Nahiri, the Harbinger+emrakul.
Again, less "delver" than the current iteration, but with better inevitability (nahiri is a worst but faster jace TMS in this aspect)
Ive always played Standard but thinking about bringing a bugdet modern deck and since I love werewolves but wasn't playing during Innistrad I thought maybe playing a Modern Werewolf deck would be fun. Is there any modern strategies where werewolves would work well? I know almost nothing about them but Id like some suggestions.
Thanks
there arent competitive (were)wolf decks
you could build one...but why modern? make it full casual (EDH even)
-vivi black dont make sense...he is pure red IMHO
-kuja/garland are pure black characters
-zidane is green? or green /red?
-mog could be a white flip creature/summon
yes, each pact trigger act as a "layer" and resolves once at a time.
something like (remember magic is a LIFO:Last In First Out system)
-PACT A triggers
-PACT B triggers
-PACT B resolves, you sacrifice skeleton
-you "revive" skeleton.
-PACT A resolves, sacrifice same skeleton.
you CANT do this when the sacrifice effect is in the same card, like with Torment of Hailfire.
remember that you can always react between different cards/triggers. (exception being split second cards)
in modern for less than $200

and i pretty much think that with $300 you get both a pioneer and a modern deck (since many cards overlap in red deck wins/burns deck)

from that articles simic is a better choice, less "dead" cards.
another option is just to steal their expensive cards....

check out the video for ideas, at least you want to change the cloudshift for Ephemerate

if you have x1 of all cards, then rest of the deck is pretty cheap.

at most Duskwatch Recruiter is played in some CoCo combo decks, fringe mono G stompy use Kessig Prowler and i believe Mayor of Avabruck was played in the early version of the human tribal deck.
any other options?

mardu pyromancer: not UR, but a lot of interaction and spells
https://www.mtggoldfish.com/archetype/modern-mardu-pyromancer-88299#paper
grixis deathshadow: you could find this in any variation (esper, mardu, jund, etc), a lot of interaction.
https://www.mtggoldfish.com/archetype/modern-grixis-death-s-shadow-46465#paper
grixis delver: IMHO you are playing a bad hybrid of grixis deathshadow and mardu pyromancer

temur arcanist: the most temur delver deck, but the worst deck i posted here
