Welcome to my Modern Faeries Deck
I decided to construct this deck after playing U/B dragons in standard during Dragons of Tarkir. If I am honest with myself, the dragons deck was fun to play but was too limiting on the tools available.
I have always had an interest in the faerie tribal and finally decided to pull the trigger shortly after bitterblossom was reprint in MM2. The mainboard and sideboard is an accurate representation of the current deck. The maybe list are cards I either have and am considering, or cards I would like to acquire.
I am not going into detail on the mechanics of individual cards, that information can be seen in this Primer. I would like to focus on the general 'tools' used within the deck and their quantities.
Land:
23 lands - I currently run 23 lands and have experimented with 24 but did not have agreeable results.
- currently 4 man lands. I would like to move up to 5 or 6.
- currently 1 destruction land. I am uncertain to move up to 2 or not.
Counter Spell:
9 Counter spells - currently this quantity has seemed sufficient.
4 Counter creatures
Spellstutter Sprite
Removal Spell:
6 removal - currently this quantity seems sufficient.
- affinity has not been a thing in my meta, so
Go for the Throat
does a lot of work
- I have loved the interactions of
Slaughter Pact
as a one-of
Hand Disruption:
4 IoK - I would like to add one
Thoughtseize
to bring this up to 5
Enchantment:
4x
Bitterblossom
is an auto include
Creatures:
12 Creatures - this area seems to have the most variation within decks I have studied. anywhere from 10 to 14 creatures seems to be normal. my deck drastically improved in consistency when adding the 2 snapcasters and I would swear by them. However, I don't believe the deck needs more than 2.
Planeswalker:
2x
Liliana of the Veil
