A friend and I put our money together and built this deck, and we share it. It works amazingly well, but it dies to a lot of sideboard staples. Especially Blood Moon. What would you suggest doing about that, maybe in the sideboard?

He has a basic mountain in this deck, I prefer a basic swamp. Black and Red are what you really need, and if Blood Moon is out, then red isn't really the problem.

Why I dropped pact, and only have them in the sideboard and use Through the Breach for BM protection. Obviously this doesn't move as fast or guarantees a win like pact, but avoids loses in competitive.

Great deck. I love it. +1 for sure.

I know this may come off as noobish but could you explain the turn one win. Lol

WesTreisch it uses Griselbrand to draw into Fury of the Horde and Nourishing Shoal. You cheat Grisel out with other various cards

Read the Description!

I made a similar deck, and I really think it will give you ideas pheonix_222:

Find the deck at Narset + Griselbrand = Cannon

I pretty much have this deck built but I'm trying to make it a more consistent turn 1 win thought about adding dark rituals and entomb

Sadly neither of those cards are legal for Modern play

Very cool deck, Thank you very much for making it, and updating it as per the comments made. I've been play testing this with a few friends (just proxied it all out, lol) its very fun!

Love the leyline in sideboard, came in very handy against Thoughtseize, Inquisition of Kozilek, and burn.

Thanks again!

(also I might try to add an Emrakul just for the lolz)

Heya! I've been taking this deck out for a few spins, and (As you clearly stated) a big downside is graveyard hate, and also blood moon. Both of these can be fixed by running a different mana base, while still keeping the deck perfectly intact!

For a turn 1 win, you only need to tap a land for black. So running Bloodstained Mire/Verdant Catacombs over the Blackleave Cliffs and Sulfurous springs. Having a way to get swamps out early, with the added backup of forests (if your local meta is graveyard hate) for some Natures Claim in the SB for game 2. The forbidden orchid is to good to swap out, but you could delve deeper and get some Wooded Foothills instead of some other lands.

Taking the 1 point of damage for the one colour you need at the time, you can short out several strategies.Also I've noticed that this deck is still good in longer games, especially against Splinter Twin, as you simply hold up Lightning axe/Soul Spike to stop their combo, while waiting to top deck (or flashback loot) for the re-animations. So don't sell it short!

This is kindve picky, but Mana Confluence is way better than City of Brass, only because if they are able to tap that land in any way you still take the life. If they tap the Mana Confluence you take no damage

I think this deck has not really been changed much from the start to basically be a primer and show where the deck started.

This deck has been around for some time now and only recently did people pay attention to it again because one person top 8'd with a similar type of deck and now there is hype for it.
Any changes you think you can make to a deck, do it. An archived deck like this with 611 upvotes and 94k views probably isn't going to look to change anything.

I agree w/ Dorotheus this should get a primer tag & possibly an article like BW tokens got.

Dude, this is sweet. +1 from me, the Fate Unraveler (#24 deck!).

How does this deck win on turn 1 I cant see it. I only see 7 damage lifelink haste with his ability. What am i missing that you can win turn 1?

When you gain 7, ColFrogfoot, you can lose 21, go to 6, draw 21 cards. Then you cast Fury of the Horde, and win.

Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger is to be tried out right? :)

Probably not, or at least comparably Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger and Woodfall Primus are still REALLY similar, but Ulamog's value doesn't come through for his "cast" ability, since you're never casting him to remove permanents, if it was an ETB like Woodfall then it'd be playable.

At this point, this deck is just a primer to see where the deck really started compared to the versions with Worldspine Wurm now. So nothing new is likely to be added or changed. I could only see the 'maybeboard' expanding just to show the other cards that can be in the deck.

I'm tempted to upvote it just so it won't be 666 anymore...

First Id like to comment on the joy I had playing this exact list. Well crafted and very fun. +1

However, I'd like to make some comments on its viability in competition. My local store is the second largest in the US and the meta/competition is steep with quite a few tier1 deck lists. Two weeks in a row I went 1-3 losing to splinter twin, affinity, jund, and even soul sisters. The games the combo happens early its gg. IF it goes off same result, never lost a game that I could resolve him. But, every opponent I faced sided in grave hate and ran hand disruption main board, making it a pretty difficult win con. If you plan on competition need to run rakdos, breach, emrakul to really stop shannanigans. The games are slower but wins are more consistent. 3-1 is worst record thus far.Hey check out my deck Commie spaghetti
