MTG Salvation

So I'm still hesitating if I should run Martyr of Sands or not. Do SS players still use Martyrs? I feel like I need at least some Martyrs to turn Serra on. But also I do feel like having her has more downside than upside.
Don't get me wrong, having her in opening hand is amazing! But... I tend to draw her during late game and it's terrible, and most of the time it cost me the game. Any thoughts? If Martyrs should be run, how much? I find a playset gets too cloggy. If I do put back in the Martyrs, I say 2 copies is good.

And also, is Serra still relevant without the Martyrs? If yes, how and what's the right way to use Serra in-game without Martyrs?

So I started modern 2 months ago, and here's the budget version that I'm currently playing. I absolute love this deck!




Went to two FMNs with this, got 1-3 each which is what I was expecting. Lost against multiple decks like Grixis Delver and Tron. Grixis games are always close games with this build: I always lose the game with my opponent having 1-3 life left. I know I am missing Serra, Ranger and Champion right now. So I was wondering what I should add and take out. For now, Auriok Champion is a card I'm ready to invest because it costs 40$ each at my locals. Serra and Ranger are quite expensive too with 25$ and 20$ each, but I'm more willing to pay for these cards than Champ.

For now I think I'm just willing to pay for 2 Serras and 1-2 Rangers. I know I will take out Divinity of Pride for them that's for sure. But beside this, what else I should do/add? Should I even bother with Paladin En Vec (Auriok replacement)? I know people play Brave the Elements. Is it good? Should I put those instead of Paladin ? Is the amount of lands good? And Sundering Growth or Oblivion Ring?

For now, I want to just turn this deck into an average good deck for FMNs and to have fun with it. But my longterm goal is to turn this deck into a competitive one.

Thank you!

What do you guys think about Kitchen Finks in the deck ?

Since I can't really afford some Champions (40$ each at my locals lol), I decided to put Kor Firewalker and good old Paladin En-Vec in my sideboard. I know pro-red is incredibly good for burn and grixis. But I was wondering if Kor's a decent substitute for Champ even without pro-black? Like what black removal should I fear of? Is Champ a staple in the SS decks? Thanks.

Hey guys, I've been playing for a while with Soul Sisters online. On paper, right now, all I'm missing is a playset of Auriok Champ, Serra Ascendant, a couple of Ranger of Eos and Cavern Souls. Since, these cards are quite expensive. Is it "safe" to buy them? What I mean is it a safe investment? For example, will Auriok get a reprint? If yes, will the price go down drastically? Because a playset of all these cards can cost up to +400$. I just don't spend so much money on a card then see the price drop drastically.

Thank you for answering. Glad I came across this thread because I LOVE Soul Sisters!
