Competitive Soul Sisters - Modern

Modern* Aggro Competitive Lifegain Mono-White

Eulogyi


Sideboard


This is my competitive Soul Sisters deck. I ran a different version with 4x Squadron Hawk , but they did not really work that well. The card advantage seems nice, but the creatures rarely do much - the 2CMC is just too much for a 1/1, Maybe when you have an Honor of the Pure out - but then you might aswell play any other card.

I've made a few adjustments to the deck and I think it should perform far better. This is work in progress still. As for how the deck works - it seems quite obvious. You pump out sisters and let Ajani's Pridemate aswell as Serra Ascendant get pretty huge. The perfect beginning looks more or less like this:

T1 Cavern of Souls (human) ->Serra Ascendant

T2 Any Land-> Martyr of the Sands -> Show 4 cards and sacrifice. Get to 32 Life, Swing for 6.

Your opponent is at 14 while you're at 38. From here you keep on pressuring your opponent furthermore.

Spectral Procession very often turns around the tide, however you may have to play it no earlier than turn 4 since because of the Cavern of Souls . These will keep your wonderful creatures from getting countered. The 2 types you choose are human (highest priority) and soldier (lower priority). Auriok Champion will save you fairly often from getting overrun by various red and black decks. Even though she rarely does kill anything by herself, she is a pain to remove and can block bigger threats endlessly. As for the lands I haven't made my mind up yet. Flagstones provide some form of deckthinning without you losing life - which is important since you're trying to get to 30. I've tried out fetches for a short while and while they thin out your deck nicely - they kinda make it harder to reach the magical 30 life barrier. They're a double edged sword in this deck. Windbrisk Heights are not an option since I don't run any higher mana cost creatures. I've seen some variations running Archangel of Thune and these should have like 2-3 Windbrisks eventually. Aven Mindcensor is wonderful against fetchland packed decks. I've added Chalice of Life   to the deck as an alternative wincondition.

As for the Sideboard. Against goyfs and graveyard shenanigans you use Relic of Progenitus obviously. For Affinity we got Kataki, War's Wage and Stony Silence in our arsenal. Kataki works wonders especially when your opponent plays out his whole hand on turn 1 and has to sacrifice most of it on turn 2. Leyline of Sanctity is a godsend against any kind of discard, burn and scapeshift deck.
