I'm considering dropping Footsteps of the Goryo for some combination of Izzet Charm and/or Lotleth Troll .

Shallow Grave does the same thing as Goryo's Vengeance . More likely to get your T1 win if you have tons of cards that can do it.

Modern though.

ChiefBell it isnt modern legal, otherwise I would have ran it.

Sooo... I'm going to hate Spirit of the Labyrinth . How about you?

Izzet Charm or Pyroclasm handle it

Haha. When did you add Borborygmos Enraged ? :D

A while back. I needed another threat besides grisel. Played in a local tourney, combo was ready t1...as I discard Griselbrand to the yard, my opponent pays 2 life to play Surgical Extraction on Griselbrand . I had to scoop...so decided to add 1 of borby

Oh. Here is just a future warning, don't replace City of Brass with Mana Confluence when it comes out.

Hey was just wondering if you changed borgorymos enraged to emrakul better choice I think

Two reasons for not running the flying spaghetti monster.

1. He doesnt necessarily kill the other player off, I have myself come back to win after getting hit by emrakul.
2. I don't own one

Thanks for the suggestion though

If you're goin for turn one win, Tendo Ice Bridge might be better instead of Blackcleave Cliffs .

Thats not a bad idea. thanks for the suggestion

This looks so fun to play. +1

My only question is why aren't you using Summoner's Pact ?

Summoner's Pact looks for a Green dude, and after that it costs 4.I could probably use it in my deck, and even then I wouldn't. It disrupts a lot of other color synergy which is better spent on other slots.

Wow I playtested this deck 5 times and had over 20 damage by turn four the latest, usually on turn 3. Really cool. +1

Thanks jjdiddy65

Everytime I see this deck I think to myself

"Man, a Gristle Cannon would be gross, Shooting fat and Tendons that you couldn't eat at people."

But the I remember Griselbrand

:P

+1 man, Seems super fun to play.

I'm happy than Deathrite got banned. I bet you are, too.

Haha yeah DRS would stop this deck dead in it's tracks.

As Horus of Stargate would say:

"INDEED."

Deathrite Shaman posed a small threat, but not really. this deck goes off in such a dramatic fashion that it really is hard to stop it. Pyroclasm also handled DRS quite easily, never had to worry

by Pyroclasm i meant Anger of the Gods ...lol, had to make that switch for naya zoo with the kitty

+1 mate, awesome list!

I'm currently working on Modern Cheeri0s (Thread) and the one thing we've found is 4 Noxious Revival is the best insurance against disruption. You don't want to Pact of Negation a Thoughtseize but you can always revive it. Not sure what you cut - maybe 2 Manamorphose ?

Why is Manamorphose here instead of Gitaxian Probe - just because it pitches to Fury of the Horde ? You're already producing any color of mana, and if you've got Griselbrand you'll have enough red cards. Gitaxian Probe tells you if you're all set to go off and doesn't require mana to cycle, so you can burn it earlier to hit a land drop.

Ray of Revelation should be Wear since you're aiming for < t5 wins. Casting it a second time will very rarely be relevant, but the option to hit either artifact or enchantment will usually be important. Also easier to cast for RiP.

I think there are some better choices than Borborygmos Enraged for the third legendary to search up with Signal the Clans . For example:

• Obzedat, Ghost Council - stack his trigger on top of Vengeance's trigger and keep him forever.
• Jhoira of the Ghitu - Suspend an Emrakul for 2.
• Medomai the Ageless - take an extra turn to dig deeper for the right combo pieces, etc.
• Nicol Bolas - your opponent has no hand. Plenty of time to find another Vengeance.

The point here is to have a third creature that allows you to continue trying for the Emrakul/Griselbrand combo, instead of letting you do things with lands. That's relevant after Griselbrand has drawn you 14 cards, not before.

Also worth noting that if Goryo's Vengeance loses track of the card for any reason (Cloudshift ) then you can keep the creature around. It might be worth sideboarding in some of the creatures above with a set of Cloudshift for a slower more controlling strategy, and set up bigger turns. Suspending a Through the Breach with Jhoria lets you set up a critical turn where you have too many spells to have them all countered.
