LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS

TO DEFEAT

THE ABZAAAAN

My modern Faeries list with a more transitional sideboard. The tempo combo remains, as ever, Mistbind Clique + Restoration Angel for ridiculous tempo swings and lots of free damage with few side effects. As you can see, black in this list is sort of a side dish, serving only Bitterblossom and the occasional sideboard into Gifts Ungiven + Unburial Rites . I'm not sure about the Lingering Souls, they're mostly there to soften Liliana of the Veil against us, ever one of the strongest cards in Modern (and in Magic). Ideas welcome.

Discussing some of the odder choices: Detention Sphere seems like an odd choice in a meta so dominated by Abrupt Decay decks, but I find having access to such an absolute bomb of an answer is extremely invaluable in dealing with everything from hordes of tokens to a pair of goyfs to that annoying Karn the tron player is banking on. Supreme Verdict in a creature deck seems strange, but given that so many decks are so much faster than us and that Bitterblossom makes us so resilient to our own wraths, I find its disruptive power to be much more advantageous than disadvantageous (notably, with Sphinx's Revelation, we're one of the few decks in the entire format that can run out of gas and then just topdeck a new opening hand, too). One might be the right number, letting us grab it and the miser's Snapcaster Mage and Noxious Revival in sideboard at times of true need, and it may just be that Remand is better served in the mainboard, but I feel like Remand is bad against the decks I'm already bad against, and Verdict is good against those same decks. As it is, I'm running two because I still like drawing them. Single Cryptic Command is merely there so that we have -an- answer to a huge bomb if it comes to it, occasionally putting our win chance in certain situations up to like 5% from 0%.
