Was messing around with a W/B allies deck in standard and thought I'd try to make a modern version instead. Not wanting a GP deck, but wanting something that's not super easy to beat and could win me some games playing with Modern players at FNM. I'm a relatively new player and this deck is one I've built myself from the ground up. Would love to hear your thoughts and comments about the deck.
Win condition: (in no particular order)1. Pump creatures and overwhelm opponent (aided by Cradle of Vitality, Ajani Goldmane, Sorin, Solemn Visitor, Kazandu Blademaster, Bloodbond Vampire and Hada Freeblade.2. Tick down our opponents life total (through Drana's Emissary, Cliffhaven Vampire, Kalastria Healer, Zulaport Cutthroat, Sanguine Bond3. Early flip Chalice of Life
and start burning my opponent with Chalice of Death. 4. Get the infinite combo off of Cliffhaven Vampire and Exquisite Blood
Lifegain is easy to achieve as most of our deck gains us life or gives our creatures lifelink. Pump is also easy through Sorin, Ajani, Cradle of Vitality, and ally drops that buff Bloodbond Vampire, Hada Freeblade, and Kazandu Blademaster.
Eerie Interlude gives us evasion from destruction and only really ruins the counters of Bloodbond Vampire with any significance. It also retriggers the ally effects (helping with that life gain/drain we're going for).
Phyrexian Arena gives us card draw in a game 2 situation if we can't find what we're looking for. Sundering Growth also gives us artifact or enchantment destruction. March from the Tomb gives us retriggers and returns creatures back. Anguished Unmaking gets rid of any Planeswalkers we may encounter (or any other permanent). Thoughtseize and Dismember also gives us removal of different sorts.
Let me know what needs to be changed. I'm open to suggestions and making this deck fun to play with! New player, so be kind!
