So with Modern now being all about Siege Rhino and Splinter Twin I set out to create a deck that could thrive in modern's harsh post ban environment. I was looking through the Dragons of Tarkir spoilers when I realized that three cards from the set really had a chance in modern. Dromoka's Command, Collected Company, and Myth Realized all had some real power to them. Dromoka's Command seemed very good in general because its first mode is essentially a counter to Lightning Bolt and its second mode kills Splinter Twin. Its third and fourth modes can help vs Junk so your Tarmogoyf can kill there Tarmogoyf with the +1/+1 Counter and the instant speed Prey Upon. Collected Company is a more balanced version of Bloodbraid Elf and shines in a deck that is jam packed with good 3cmc and lower threats. Myth Realized is vs a deck like abzan since it can dodge Liliana of the Veil. You can also bear in mind pump it with some lore counters when you are holding up a say a counterspell and you don't end up using it.

The land package, is a little rough right now as i'm trying to smooth at getting all the colors you would need. I am also trying a Knight of the Reliquary package with lands like Sejiri Steppe, Celestial Colonnade, Moorland Haunt , and Gavony Township. With access to these lands you can protect a creature with Sejiri Steppe, build up a board state after a board clear with Celestial Colonnade, and Moorland Haunt , and pump your Noble Hierarch to be a force to be reckoned with!!

Please leave comments, questions, and general feedback about this deck. I love having card discussions and just getting ways to improve my decks in general. Thank You for Taking your time and reading and taking in this deck. If you have any questions pertaining to certain cards do n to be afraid to ask. We only get better by asking questions right?
