MUSTER THE CLANS!

Modern version of my RtR Block Constructed deck with the same name. Admittedly, because mana ramp herein is designed to work in RtR Block, this is very slow for general Modern format. Play only on "kitchen table" :)

Trostani, Vizkopa and Signal the Clans are the core cards. Instead of having four pieces of few creatures, the mechanism needs--obviously--one or two pieces of many creatures. Everything else points to it self when you get going!

---

DAMAGE

Damage is based on life gain from beefy monsters you tutor up with Signal the Clans; Get life either with Trostani, Selesnya's Voice or Predator's Rapport after activating Vizkopa Guildmages second ability and benefit!

---

MANA RAMP

Get acceleration by throwing Verdant Havens on the gates and then untapping the gates with Greenside Watchers. Zhur-Taa Ancient gives acceleration, too, so get it after dropping both, Trostani and that one particular Guildmage and benefit!

OLD META

I used to run Fiend Hunters on this deck when it was Standard. Them rotating out, I needed something to work with, and decided this trick could sit very well to RtR Block Constru. Had the cards already, so it fitted my budget, too.

All comments and suggestions, as always, very welcome!

WORD FROM THE ARTIST

Please note my decks are always based on cards I have and own. I do not create 1500 euro decks of cards from the virtual database just to show off. Instead, I work with cards I actually have access to.
