I've been working on this budget build of an aggressive Modern UR deck...burn, prowess, delver, etc. It includes lots of instants and sorceries to pump Prowess creatures, burn with Guttersnipe, and trigger Delver of Secrets
, as well as counter threats and do damage on their own.
I was thinking about splurging on
Steam Vents
for dual lands to go along with the Shivan Reefs, but Temple of Epiphany scrys to potentially set up triggers. Same with Telling Time versus other draw spells like
Sleight of Hand
. For (1) more CMC, it is instant speed for setup at the end of my opponent's turn and allows me to dig 3 deep, get rid of one card, put one in my hand, and put one on top of my library to draw on my turn. Potentially this could set up a miracle with
Thunderous Wrath
, a flip of Delver, etc., as well as fueling Prowess.
I'm trying to keep it under $100 and so far it's well below that even with the sideboard. For now I have 2 Chandras and 2 extra
Mindswipe
s to side in for potential finishers, along with extra counter and burn cards. I want to play around with Harness the Storm to see if it helps with all of the instants and sorceries that will likely be in my graveyard, but I'm not sure if it'll make the final cut.
I'm looking forward to seeing how it fares against some local Modern decks soon. If you have any thoughts or ideas I'd love to hear them! Thanks!
