With Core 2020 out a week before MagicFest/GP denver, I'm having trouble on what type of deck I should play. Should I play Gruul aggro, Gruul walkers, or Jund Walkers? Can anyone help me with deciding?
Hey! So after seeing Samut in Amonkhet, I'm going to be using her (Him? Pretty sure it's her.) to make both my favorite color combination, and my favorite tribe with Samut at the helm. I have a deck for her right now, but I'm always looking for better things to put in. I'll put the deck list below, and if anyone thinks of things that would be better, please let me know below!
Budget isn't too much of an issue, but I can't go blowing money on original dual lands.
So in modern, I run a pretty standard looking Naya Burn. And I'm alright with that, except as soon as sideboard happens, Burn's at a disadvantage. So I've thought to myself, what 15 cards could I swap out to go from Naya burn, to Naya Zoo?
As obvious by the land base, I can't afford enemy fetches, or any tarmagoyf. The cloest I can do would be about the price of goblin guide.
So any ideas on what I would be able to swap out to go from burn to zoo? I feel like the lists are similar and using the 15 from sideboard, it'd be a pretty clean transition.
Get Zada on the field, along with something like Stormchaser Mage Or a few smaller creatures, and then Pyromancer's goggles with Harness the storm + Titan's Strength to proceed to demolish the enemy. Any ideas to help make this deck come to life?
So if anyone's like me, they enjoy strange and stupid ways to win magic. Jhonny I think is the term for it, and man does Hedron Alignment Get my Jhonny blood pumping. With rotation having happened, what would the two/three (maybe) best colors to get the hedrons where they need to go?
Alright, forgive me if this isn't the right spot to put this, I don't know where else this would go.
Now my LGS is doing a commander league type deal, and I've just finished my modern deck. With no other place to put my addiction, commander league showed up at a perfect time. I put together a Xenagos deck with what I have sitting in my back-stock, and I'd like for it to be better. (Crowning moment is Xenagos, God of Revels and Phyrexian Hydra To one shot someone. I'd like more of that. This is the deck list so far!
Alright, both good cards. Is there anything in these colors that would help protect me against a board clear, like languish or something else even more deadly?
I really like token strategies, and I love these two colors together. I've recently acquired Monastery Mentor and a Young Pyromancer, and wanted to start a deck heavily based on these two cards. I have a rough draft, but more help to make this as strong and competitive is always helpful.
So I have an abzan deck that wins me quite a few matches, but I was looking at the red and white parts of the jeskai clan, and I really like Monestary Switft Spear and Monastery mentor. I was wondering if anyone has any good ideas on how this deck could be a nice standard threat, or monster? I figure quite a bit of low drops, a titan's strength or something, things like that.
I'd like to make a really fun yet strong deck using the unlbockable/Can't be blocked 'mechanic'. Basically have creatures that can't be blocked no matter what, stack things that will give it hexproof and then buff them up to kill my opponents. Now money isn't an issue, as I really wanna see this deck come to life. I thought exalted would be a good idea to add to, but that's a maybe. One of the cards that I found was invisible stalker This seems like it's already going in the right direction for what I want. Any ideas?
So I have a control deck, which so far has one me a FNM 6-0. Not bad, at least I think so. However, I also wanna make an aggro deck, since I know a lot of the people that I play with are gonna make some type of ally/aggro deck. One person's even trying 4 colors.
I feel like I'm trying to spread myself out over too many archtypes. Warriors and allies. My theme (sort of) is to have a lot of cards that can be grabbed with Collected company, and then do good things with them, trigger ETB, or Allies, or something. I really wanna keep Abzan charm in this, since it's a rather good answer for stronger creatures.
These are all really good ideas, and I'm thankful for all of them. Raksha seems like it'd be fantastic for cat tokens, as well as the sword of the animist.
Not too long ago, I made a thread wondering exactly what I was going to do with blue/white in standard. I had a deck list, and people said I was trying to split in too many different areas. I agreed, and I pulled some Zendikar cards that swayed me to venture into the realm of control, usually opposite of what I normally do. So here's my deck list, and please help me edit this.
For one, Pacifism might be my favorite white card. I usually run it as often as I can. Love it. Second, when I play the deck I try to stall until I get big things out. Pacify, Claustraphobia, counters, and cheap fodder from the cheap creatures. Some awaken cards without the awaken cost if needed, until I get the land I need to drop the Pearl Lake, or Awaken lands. (A nice little combo is Narset, -2, making Part the Waterveil gimme 2 turns for one. )
I really like this card, and I really like tokens. And cats. So this card is wonderful for me, since it's really good at pumping out tokens in my opinion. My question, and deck idea, would be pump out a bunch of tokens, boost them, and kill everything. I'd really enjoy it if it was a cat-themed token deck, but it doesn't need to be. Only thing is I don't know all the good token-pump-generators that are out there. Ideas?
Budget isn't too much of an issue, but I can't go blowing money on original dual lands.

As obvious by the land base, I can't afford enemy fetches, or any tarmagoyf. The cloest I can do would be about the price of goblin guide.
So any ideas on what I would be able to swap out to go from burn to zoo? I feel like the lists are similar and using the 15 from sideboard, it'd be a pretty clean transition.
So the card that you grab can come from the sideboard, or even your trade binder? Can you play a non-standard eldrazi with this card?
The Idea revolves around Zada, Hedron Grinder Pyromancer's Goggles and Harness the Storm.
Get Zada on the field, along with something like Stormchaser Mage Or a few smaller creatures, and then Pyromancer's goggles with Harness the storm + Titan's Strength to proceed to demolish the enemy. Any ideas to help make this deck come to life?
