Rakdos Charm is the best GY hate for us IMHO. Them not being able to see it coming is a HUGE benefit over Spellbomb. Also, it's a house against Affinity and Lantern because it has other modes. I have used the last mode as a 2 mana Lava Axe against Abzan Company, so that's a thing as well.
@pedrofausto: I have played Lili, and found her completely ineffective. If you watch the video you'll actually see me completely ignore my opponent's Lili, let her ult, and still win handily. Gurmag is real bad with Dark Confidant, and we need the card advantage. Baron's inclusion is primarily due to him dodging every removal spell in the format short of double Bolt. Unfortunately, he's laughably bad against green creatures and Eldrazi. I will likely be swapping him with Brimaz, King of Oreskos or Mirran Crusader. I love Assemble the Legion, but it'd be WAY too slow. I'd rather have Bitterblossom, which I just cut for Harsh Mentors.
I've been playing Mardu in Modern for years now. I used to blog about my journey with "Young Souls" as I called it. I put Magic on hiatus for almost 2 years due to the birth of my son, and only just came back about two months ago. I've been playing various strategies and tuning constantly. Nahiri, the Harbinger-centric Control was too reactive, too slow, and felt like it was behind from turn one. Young Pyromancer and a tokens build was too fragile, too inconsistent. I went back to the genesis of the deck for me: Jund. Years ago, Jund was king. Deathrite Shaman was ruling the format. Jund decks were so prevalent, folks started splashing white for Lingering Souls and Ajani Vengeant in order to beat other Jund decks. I got to thinking, "what would it look like if Jund dropped green and fully embraced white?" The list I've come to is still a little raw, but I've had some success with it.
Here's a link to some Twitch coverage of me playing it this past week. Here's my list:
I was hoping to pull a NK after I was Mod-confirmed as I gained an extra life of sorts once it happened. This was a fun game, I just didn't feel like it needed me after Day 2.
I think based on all that, Plowshares is my lynch toDay. Behaviorally, he's just Not Town, and the only thing that's kept him alive is his claim. Additionally, if he IS town, based on VCA his flip gives a ton of information w/r/t Tom's voting patterns and pretty much solidifies the "Tom tries to lead town wagons" thing. Like - Plow flipping mafia is obviously great, and Plow flipping town is semi clearing for Pengo and Nacho AND means there's almost always one between Hans and Hunt.
Pre-emptively justifying your vote on me knowing my flip will be Town? K, thanks, bye.

I'd love to hear some thoughts if anyone else is playing true Midrange, as i think it's the only version of the deck that can work in this meta.
In case it matters.
Vote: NotVoxx
Obvious SK is obvious.
Votecount please
Still willing to Lynch Jobie, just don't want to accidentally hammer if someone else still has something to say.
