or countering it when it comes down.
I've been working on a more counterspell/take control azami deck in staid of pure combo. I still run the mind over matter combo but not much more than that. Is that a viable idea or should I just cut all the counter spells and go back to trying to play straight combo?
this deck seems like it is way to slow to deal with other combo decks or aggro decks because it has a hard time either, accelerating enough or going off quickly. Mixing these two together seems like weakening both more than anything else, and i'm not sure either of them had the tools to deal with hypergenesis in the first place.
why not run trickbind against both? hit the cascade or the suspend trigger and gives you only one dragon to deal with. Upside they bring in pacts to stop you and they can't.
so a few important notes. your running waaay to many lands. 18 is plenty. you absolutely must have 4 peer, its your best search. Don't run spell pierce, either run remand to slow your opponent down and draw cards or pact of negation to protect you the turn your going off. try karthus in the hellkite charge spot, winning on storm count three is good. Halimar depths is likely to slow you down to much to be worth it. Charge lands are your only chance against dedicated control decks, you really want 4-6 of those.
This is my first run at building a modern deck. I was always a fan of teachings and was sad when I could no longer play it in extended. However it looks like modern may give my favorite deck a new chance to shine. Need major help with a sideboard (as it currently doesn't exist). And any fine tuning of the deck its self is also good. Figured I'd start this thread up as I didn't see one for teachings yet and it seems like it could be competetive against pretty much anything. I have yet to find its bad match up but if someone would enlighten me I would be happy to listen.
I had a question, but didn't really know where to put it so I figured it could go here. With modern as an upcoming possible format about which many people are excited would it be possible to put up a forum for it? If there is already one could I be directed there?
