Sideboard


Hello all this is my current modern brew, and so far it seems decently solid.

The basic idea of the deck is to use your creatures in conjunction with eldritch evolution and chord of calling, to create both value and pressure. The deck also features an infinite damage combo with Renegade Rallier, Blasting Station, and Saffi Eriksdotter. Beyond that some notable synergies are-

Eldritch Evolution sacrificing Voice of Resurgence grabbing either Wilt-Leaf Liege or Renegade Rallier.-Both lines put 8 power on the board, with Wilt-Leaf being better versus bolt decks and Rallier being better versus single target removal.

Renegade Rallier and Ghost Quarter - GQ triggers revolt and rallier brings it back for free, very helpful versus tron and other decks with high impact lands. This can aslo be used as a pseudo fetchland if you need colors.

Renegade Rallier and Fetchlands - One of the main synergies, Fetchlands trigger revolt, and rallier brings them back to play, effectively providing both ramp and card advantage.

Renegade Rallier and Restoration Angel - The angel blinking Rallier does trigger revolt, which then allows you to use Ralliers Etb.

The sideboard is mostly standard except for a few pieces which are there to give me additional combo pieces against match-ups where the combo is important.

Fun combo hand - The infinite combo can be pulled off by turn 3 with the proper draw. The sequence goes bird on 1, Ralier on 2 re-buying a fetchland. Followed by playing both blasting station and Saffi on turn three.

Additional background info-

This deck is loosely based upon several variants of kiki chord decks I've messed with in the past. That said this deck is more focused on the value and pressure you can get from eldritch evolution, while also cutting down to two colors to reduce some of the clunk of the three color manabase. It is also notable that some card selections were made based upon their availability of being on hand. Most notable of which being the main board baloth, and the birds instead of hierarchs. It is quite likely that those slots could be further optimized and will most likely change. It is also possible that the deck can be adjusted to accommodate other threats and strategies, such as adding more colorless sources and some eldrazi, adding blue for more consistent combos with trophy mage and access to Glen Elandra, or adding black for the many valuable cards that brings (esp, Fatal Push).

Update!!! I just played this at my local FNM and went 3-1, taking down Waste-not Storm, Affinity and Zoo, after losing to Kiki Chord [which went 4-0 that night]. The list was slightly altered as I was missing a few fetches and other cards that were still in the mail but overall the deck performed pretty much as i expected with the only notable difference being a Spirit of the Labyrinth pulling extra weight against the storm player. That said the kiki chord match-up seems difficult as both sides clog the board moving the importance towards the combo, which chord is admittedly better at. That said any suggestions and ideas of cards for that match-up or any others are quite welcome. I definitely would like to continue to tune this deck into something powerful.
