  • posted a message on MartyrProc- A Modern Control Deck (UPDATED!)
    So I've been building up a standard Mono-White Martyr Proc deck for about a year now and have near enough to all the cards I need. I was now wondering what direction I should take my deck because there are a few variants that are successful and am aware of (if others no any other variants let me know), and was wondering what I should go about fully rounding out my deck.

    The meta locally is very standard, we have Burn, Tron, Hollow One, UW Control, Bogles, etc. but not a lot of combo.

    Here are the mainboard variants I am aware of:
    Runed Halo, 1-4 of.
    Crucible of Worlds as a one of.
    Planeswalker package, mainly relying on Gideon of the Trials and having other Gideon planeswalkers in your mainboard. Elspeth, optional mainboard.
    Ghostly Prison, 1-4 of.
    Weathered Wayfarer as a 1-2, maybe with a Linvala, Keeper of Silence.
    Oblivion Ring/Cast Out, 1-2 of.
    Hallowed Burial, as a one of.
    Archangel Avacyn, as a 1-2 of, generally with a Kami of False Hope.
    Walking Ballista, as a one of.
    Restoration Angel, as a one of.
    Immortal Servitude, as a one of.
    Terminus, as a one of.
    Sun Titan, as a one of.

    Most of these variants are instead of each other, or they make room by removing a board wipe and am not sure which of these I should go with. I understand what each of these cards are trying to do and each of these cards has had varying degrees of success, I just wanted to know what other players thoughts were before committing to any of these cards.

    Where can I find the number of participants for the TCGPlayer States 2017 tournaments?

    As to these decks being some of the best budget decks? Is there a place to find a tier list for budget decks if I wanted to get a group of friends together and try to build a deck $100 budget?

    My guess is low card availability in that part of the world.

    I guessed the same thing originally but found that PPTQ's in the Philippines never had these budget decks (At least ones the placed in the event). https://www.mtgtop8.com/event?e=20153&f=MO

    I was looking through recent tournaments and came across "3 Modern Tournament (MTGD)" hosted in the Philippines. I noticed that all the decks were under $100 and found it weird to find effectively a budget deck tournament on mtgtop8. As it had budget Burn, 8 Rack, Hollow One, Mono White Humans, etc.

    I was wondering if there were any rules for the tournament that I wasn't aware of and what your thoughts on it were and how well these decks would work at your standard fnm. Would these decks be the go to for if building with a $100 Budget?
