Ya know, calling this the best deck does kind of say that everyone else's is worse. So try to be nice about this. I like the deck though.

I guess it was so hard to beat Swans without Fatal Push or Doom Blade. I'd want Silence to protect em.

ScaryHairyBear, pleeeaaase. Do tell me a better deck.

2017qx22 actually no, if you have Seismic Assault on board then Push and Blade won’t Alsace any effect on Swans. Also when would you play Silence?

Have you thought about adding Day's Undoing or Time Reversal? These would give you another chance to hit the win condition. Many of my playtests quickly burn the opponent down to <8 life and slow to a crawl. Any one of these cards could refill your hand with more land (and toss the Treasure Hunts back into the fray.

Sadly, Timetwister is illegal in modern. Luckily, Seismic Assault's and Molten Vortex's effects can be activated at instant speed.

Alos, Swans of Bryn Argoll is a terrible card. Not only does it suck, it makes no sense you are running it in a hunt deck. My deck list would be 52 lands, 4 Seismic Assaults and 4 Treasure Hunts. That's it.

I can see this as a Zombie Hunt spin off, but not with Swans or day's undoing or that trash. I still do not understand why you run them.

ScaryHairyBear As someone else that runs the Swan version of this deck the answer is really simple, it combos out with Seismic Assault for the win on turn 4.

Lowenstein love the build.

I am newish to magic and had a friend recommend this deck to me to beat one of our other friends. Needless to say I won, I won so much it is banned in my circle of friends. I ran exactly what you have up top for 1v1. We play a lot of 4 player FFA so I added a variant (since I kept decking myself and not having enough mana on hand to deal 60 damage) where I run Psychic Corrosion and added some Index ’s as well. Thank you from a very novice player (me) at starting a legitimate addiction. The 4 player FFA deck is 4x swans, 4x seismic assaults, 4x psychic corrosion’s, 2 index’s, 4x treasure hunts and basically the same as the 1v1 above I removed the Molten Vortex ’s and the Anger of the Gods to make room and not screw up the mama ratio too much.

I mean, this loses hard to most lists of the format, so it's not the best, but I always love Swans builds, this is a reasonable one of them. Honestly still think as a Yorion pile these decks could put in work, but not entirely sure on application of it. Snapcaster Mage Style Yorion build for sure could make it still function and have enough lands to combo, but also could loop value cards like Mystic Sanctuary with enough fetchlands. Triomes too, maybe a Field of the Dead line, not sure exactly.

SynergyBuild what would that Yorion deck/combo look like? I'm not familiar, but indeed interested.

And yeah I know this deck dies a lot to most things but for me it's still the best XD

Lowenstein oh fair, just both really like the original "doctors hate this" title and though the recent one was just... awkward?

“As my mother’s father’s only grandson used to say...” is genius. I need read no further to award you an upvote.
