Unfortunately, Jareth and Jungle lion aren't modern legal. However, +1 for cat deck

Thanks a lot! Yeah, I noticed Jareth and Jungle Lion aren't legal. A real shame, since Jungle Lion is a key card early game. I'll cut Jareth though. Any suggestions on what to add?

Since you are GW, you could go with Loam Lion, Steppe Lynx, or Sanctuary Cat to fill Jungle Lion's spot as a one drop.

Thanks! Replaced Jungle Lion with Steppe Lynx.

on a unrelated note, I am sad that your not using black, which would allow my favorite kitty Mirri the Cursed to come out and play

Doing a quick gatherer.com search

I came across

Qasali Ambusher he seems cool

Whitemane Lion has potential to rescue a creature from a spell. possible sideboard

Pride Guardian if you want defender with a bonus

Oreskos Sun Guide has potential if your playing aggressive.

Loam Lion to replace Steppe Lynx

Wild Nacatl is another good one drop if you desire another. but not as good as the loam.

Leonin Relic-Warder sideboard card

Thanks for the suggestions! I'm sorry I'm not using black-- it wouldn't fit for something like Black Cat to be in this deck. On a happier note, Mirri before she was zombified/vampirified is in this deck. And she's pretty awesome. I must agree with you that Mirri the Cursed is pretty great. She looks like a cat with rabies. I've realized that Loam Lion is a more solid card than Steppe, so I will shortly change that. I haven't seen Qasali Ambusher before-- he looks really fun to play with, so I'll throw that in instead of Twinclaws. Whitemane Lion and Leonin Relic-Warder are both solid sideboard cards, but I feel the Relic-Warder is inferior to a nice Erase. But I'll Maybeboard it. The Sun Guide is going into the sideboard. Thanks again!

up-side to the Leonin Relic-Warder is that it also targets artifacts not just enchantments like Erase. He's a creature so you can attack with him if need be or an open field presents itself, and if they really want their artifact or enchantment back they would have to use/waste a removal spell to get it back

Seeing as this is a Bad Tribal deck, why not include some tribal stuff? Namely, Cavern of Souls.

Also, your mana ratio is WAY off, you have way to much green.

if your going to be tribal you should have a lord so i would play Adaptive Automaton. also Qasali Pridemage and Wild Nacatl are very good cats that u should be playing. also take a look at aww, look at the cute little kitty

and cut the deck to 60 cards by cutting Beacon of Immortality, Reprisal and Test of Faith because they aren't very good

January 23, 2015 9:51 p.m.

Geko_ says... #11

Thanks for the suggestions. I was actually looking for a cat lord but couldn't find anything-- Adaptive Automaton will work well, even if it's not a cat. I think that Reprisal is probably one of the best white removal spells, by I'll make do with Path to Exile and cut it. Qasali Pridemage sound like a good sideboard card, so it'll go there. Beacon of Immortality, however, can give you a huge advantage if you play it early on and synergies well with Ajani's ultimate, so I'll keep on of them in the deck. Test of Faith is alright, but I'll cut it anyway. Thanks!

January 24, 2015 3:33 p.m.

Personally, I think Path is the best white removal spell.

January 25, 2015 4:57 p.m.

Geko_ says... #13

Agreed. I said Reprisal is one of the best.

I actually have a selesnyan deck that I play against my boyfriend who loves kill spells and discard. I have many of the same creatures as you but I have a few others that you should consider. Ajani's Chosen, Oreskos Swiftclaw, Tethmos High Priest, Leonin Armorguard, Ajani's Pridemate, Skyhunter Patrol. My deck is very enchantment and instant heavy also. Sheild of the Oversoul is fantastic with Grizzled Leotau. One time I had Behemouth Sledge, Bear Umbra, and Sheild of the Oversould on him making him a 7/11 with flying, lifelink, indestructible,trample,and untap lands when he attacks. Amazing!! My instants include Titantic Growth, Reprisal, Naturalize, Inquisitor's Snare (awesome against red and black, ny bf's favorite lol),Sigil Blessing, Test of Faith, and Feat of Resistance. I dont know your play style but mine is protection and beefing up my creatures. Hope you can use some of this the make an awesome deck!!

Ok... so I want to help, I see that you would like the deck to be budget and I will go with that. The question I have is, is this more meant to be a multiplayer deck, a one-on-one deck, or a little of both?

Cool deck! :)

Beacon of Immortality - I know you like it but not suited, way too pricy to include a 6 mana spell with no acceleration, and not really on theme. Replace with the 4th Path to Exile

Day of Judgement?!?!?!! - you are running way too many creatures to run these, I would cut them. -2

Grizzled Leotau - not very inspiring, can probably cut as you have 10 other two-drops so are a bit clogged at that point on the mana curve -2

Steppe Lynx - add 3 if you have to bring it to 10 one-drops, since we have pump effects in the deck to boost later +3

Cut 1 land (a forest) -1

Then add:2 Marisi's Twinclaws - double strike is a thing and it survives bolt too +2or2 Seht's Tiger - flash protection effects for cat alpha strike or saving a Brimaz etc +2

That will balance you out to 60.

Lands: Need some Temple Garden, probably at least 3 (replace 1 Forest and 2 Plains)

May 7, 2015 11:07 a.m.

Clawed6 I think you're a bit wrong on what Seht's Tiger does. It says that you get protection.

Still good, though, as a 2-of.

Today's Daily Deck on the Magic website is a Modern Cats tribal deck! You should take a look, see if you like it.
