instead of athreos, god of passage I am considering Fulminator mage in the main deck since there are a lot of 3 colour decks running around that dont run many basics and usualy 20 21 lands. Any thoughts on athreos?
Hello people,
I got to play on a draft with Watcher for Tomorrow and I started wondering if there could be any deck that he could be played in. Could he be the reason for making an esper pox build? Alongside with him if we splashed blue we could have mana leak which would be a good counter on a land destruction build and other counters like condescend. Another card I would like to try would be cabal therapist in a build that has creatures that have powerul effects when they die. In the past decks would play mana tithe so why not mana leak? Do you think a Dimir splash white deck would work and if yes what would you cut to use the cards mentioned above?
Since I do not have any Snapcaster Mage what do you think would be the best way to implent Dreadhorde Arcanist? The way I see it that discard is a preemptive counter and it feels that you cannot go wrong with IoK. Should I go with a more aggressive build and focus on UR delver with bolts coming from the arcanist and creatures from young pyro? Should I consider playing looting on Grixis Delver?
Hello, I am back to modern after a long break and since I was playing grixis delver last time I thought I would pick up from where I left.
I was thinking about a decklist that looks something like that
If you count that is 62 cards and I am thinking of cutting 1x Dreadbore and 1x Terminate but on the other hand those seem important, but on the other hand they do not synergize well with Dreadhorde Arcanist since they have 2cmc. The idea is to play delver and then keep permision or arcanist and abuse the cantrips. Someone could make an argument since I am abuzing cantrips why dont I go full pyromancer or phoenix, well I don't really know yet, I want to play delver and arcanist. I was also considering trying out Claim // Fame just because I like the card and potentialy make my little threats persist after a boardwipe. I know Kolaghan's Command is straight up better but I cannot invest right now to buy 3 of them and even if I got them what would i cut? The thing is with Arcanist in the deck I feel more inclined to play cantrips, maybe rid mana leaks and add 1 remand and 3 thoughtseize for more discard power with flashbacks.
What is your take on those ideas?
