This was the first modern deck I went ahead and tried making myself.

It started as a project to make standard cards at the time work in modern. I started with using Westvale Abbey   and Cryptolith Rite as a combo to use tokens to sacrifice themselves while paying for the cost of the Abbey. I also saw Nissa, Voice of Zendikar and Gideon, Ally of Zendikar when they were in standard at the time, and knew I needed to play them.

After using the deck at FNM's and doing decently, I saw how bad of a card Crypolith Rite was for modern and moved on. The stars of the deck throughout every FNM were Nissa and Gideon.. Those two cards ended up shaping the deck into what it became.

I ended up cutting the Abbey out entirely in favor of Castle Ardenvale . It costs 1 less mana and no life to play a token.

Eventually, I did end up seeing that Channel Fireball had posted a similar deck to this one, and drew some inspiration from their list. I never played Noble Hierarch in my build, but decided that it would be worth the investment to get. I also never put Path to Exile in my build, but made the room because it pretty much an essential card to play in most white modern decks.

Ajani, Strength of the Pride was added because I liked the idea of gaining life, and getting the Pridemate token he made.

Elspeth, Knight-Errant is also a great planeswalker. +1 for a token, and then her ultimate makes all of the tokens indestructible.

I was using Intangible Virtue for a long time, but ended up cutting it from the build. It made for too many bad hands, and ruined consistency.

The new card I'm testing from MH2 is Chatterfang, Squirrel General . If it hits the board turn 2 or 3, followed by some planeswalkers, the board can get out of hand very quickly.

The deck says not modern legal for now, but that is until Chatterfang releases.

This is most definitely my favorite deck I've worked on, and I am always looking at new cards ti make it better.
