I tried to recreate a Blue Moon in standard. Didn't work out that well. So now im trying to create Modern UWR in Standard! Counter spells, burn the opponent, and kill them with lands! As for win cons? Just Mutavault. Kinda like Celestial Colonnade in modern...

So far the deck is working well, and am using it for Game day. I think of it as a Troll deck because when starting out it seems like I have no win cons.

Any comments and +1's greatly appreciated. thanks guys and happy deckbuilding!

3-0-1 FNM! — Sept. 19, 2014

Edit

I got basically first tonight.

Round 1, Rabble Red, 2-1. Game 1 Rabble Red did what it does and killed me before I did anything. Game 2 I had enough board wipes to stall as long as I could and wreck him. My Mutavault attacks were too much. Game 3 was basically the same, I cleared the board and killed him through burn and mutavualts

Round 2, Boros Aggro, 2-1. Game 1 I removed the small amount of threats he played, and scooped to mana flood. Game 2 he had a Fiendslayer Paladin with double Madcap Skills, which I thought I could deal with thanks to Cyclonic Rift but he had the Brave the Elements and won with it. Game 3 I kept the board clear and stopped him from doing anything thanks to Archangel of Thune. She slowly chipped down at his life total.

Round 3, Naya Tokens, 2-0. Game 1 took about 30 minutes after he had many huge board presences but I was able to keep stalling. I never actually wiped his board, I just overloaded a Cyclonic Rift, played 2 Sphinx's Revelation for huge amounts. My deck was doing what it meant to do... Troll. I finally got out a Keranos, God of Storms and did verdict. Keranos was actually online, so the beats kept coming. Game 2 he kept a one land hand with just a bunch of dorks. He was punished for it by Supreme Verdict. He also didn't hit a second land.

Round 4, split.

I got 5 packs, and just ended up doing a pack war with the dude I split with. The total value of the cards was like $10 so it wasn't a huge loss.
