I was looking at making an Abzan or Jund deck in modern/standard haha. What are your thoughts on Sigarda, Host of Herons, Stony Silence, and Kitchen Finks in this deck? Collected Company is a pretty interesting card in this deck. The only thing I fear is it might miss a lot. How has that card been in testing for you?

JakeKitaI definitly been needing Stony Silence and sigarda is definitly a nice card but I opted for sidisi. I can definitly see the concern for Collected Company but I typically want to sift through the deck and move the land clutters so even a wiff isn't too bad when it's late game. I do love though when it hits 1-2 voices

Haha I really love Collected Company (pulling two recently) and love the decks it's made an appearance in. So far I have been leaning for an Elf deck using the card but, I am glad to see it in other decks too. Let me know how successful the card actually is in this set up!

Hey ChiefBell and JakeKita I've worked on this abzan build i little more and was curious on what you think of it so far considering how I don't have the golden budget of 2 k to throw around lol Also scrotality what do you think of the deck?

No worries scrotalitylol. Yea I hear you on the abzan match ups showing up all the time. That's why I did jund for a long time but rhino was simply too powerful with vualt giving it far too much value to not switch. And yea it happens ou have ur highs and lows man

@JamesfurrowWhat are your thoughts on Dromoka's Command? It seems to me a really powerful (maybe just a one of though personally I would do 2). Choke is always hilarious to run against blue. With Abzan on the rise, B/W tokens are also rising (me piloting one as well). Zealous Persecution is a card that is over looked a lot of the time. It serves so many purposes, speeding up your deck, slowing or board wiping others, etc. Knight of the Reliquary (after having a fangasm of the card), I have found to be meh. Although finding lands at instant speed is AWESOME, I don't know how powerful she is in this deck. I am going to assume that Noble Hierarch is out of your price range so maybe a Birds of Paradise? And finally some land destruction in side such as Fulminator Mage (might be out of budget?) or ghost quater. That's just my thoughts. Take with salt haha

JakeKita the ghost definitly went into the deck and it has been a nice placeholder until I get tec edge which doesn't replace the lost land. And I've been debating the command for a while because I'm not sure how powerful it truly is in this kind of build but it may prove to be worth running over a Path to Exile. Also knight is very strong because now I can find vault of the archangle if they destroy my first copy and get my other mana sources im missing Any. This aspect of her proves invaluable when agaisnt red deck wins and she is swapped out vs control match ups(rarely do I face control players but my side is ready for mirror and control). Also yes fullimatir and noble are a little pricier than I want to pay for them and I also don't feel Birds of Paradise really help me for the game plan of attrition my deck has going because I don't win early on I simply stableize then

From what I saw, Dromoka's Command is soooo broken. For two mana there are tons of invaluable options. Your Siege Rhino gets a counter and fights enemy Rhino, enchantment sacrifice, or preventing burn decks from getting a quick edge. That doesn't mean it replaces Path to Exile, it just becomes another option.

JakeKita I wasn't saying to replace my playset just a single copy because the playset might be a little much and dromoka is probally not bad as a singleton in the deck
May 20, 2015 6:10 a.m.
That isn't a bad idea going to 3 because you also have a playset of Abrupt Decay.
