OK, so since I started playing magic back about RTR, my favorite deck of all time was the aristocrats. Since then I've played Mardu in many forms, most recently the butcher mid-range and dragons varieties. Now I want to take aristocrats back, but this time I want to build it in modern. The problem is that i'm new to the format and want your help; what do I take from the old list, what is no longer good, and does the sideboard fight the common modern meta effectively? Any input would be fantastic, thank you!
