Why not a wishboard in modern?
History, building ideas
When i first saw the allmighty
biovisonary i though about any cool combo decks with him.
Mirrorweave
is a quick solution, but not that fun and could get countered pretty easy. So let's not try that and think again.Which card benefits a lot when i have many of them but my enemy cant use it, my first try was knight of the new alara. Not as good, especial if your enemy has more creatures than you. After further investigation i drafted
Rubblebelt Raiders
in a booster draft. That's a solid creatures, 3/3, sure in
Lightning Bolt range, but only for one turn. after that you have something strong. But 4 cmc seems a lot...when i think about that
Mirrorweave
cost aswell 4 mana we have a problem there...Otherwise..you just need four creatures to swing with 28 damage. If your opponent blocks he loses everything and you can attack next turn, the +1/+1 counters stay...
But we have some problems...its a combo deck, we need two cards and more than one creature, and before turn three nothing will happen from our side...aggro decks could become a problem. I ordered two
Supreme Verdict to counter that problem. With
Supply/Demand i can dig my library for it quite easily. But that are 3 cmc, my whole third turn. Then i found a card named
Glittering Wish. This wish is great with all the multicolored cards out there, i always can hold the answer for many problems without having them in my deck. Beside that, i sided one
Biovisionary,
Mirrorweave
and one
Rubblebelt Raiders
just in case i need to tutor them or someone has the brilliant idea to
Extirpate/
Surgical Extraction valuable cards. They cant hit them in my sideboard :)
Manabase & Carddraw
The rest is pretty standart,
Arbor Elf and
Utopia Sprawl for acceleration, some shock land so
Utopia Sprawl can hit more lands. I would like to play
Wall of Blossoms instead of the
Elvish Visionary but it isnt standart legal apperently :(. Booth, wall and elf are helping to get creatures on the board while not loosing cards.
Carddecisions
Sundering Growth is included for no good reason than to have an answer against enchantment which i can tutor with
supply//demand
, t he same is true for the sideboard. I think its important to have the possiblity to get answers as soon as possible. I dont plan to populate my saproling tokens.
Sideboard
I though about sideboarding a
Advent of the Wurm but it would surprise nobody, and it wouldnt do anything beside a bounceable 5/5 trample worm.
Leyline of the Void is a death card. There is no way beside choosing two times "black" with
Utopia Sprawl to play it again once it get destroyed. But i fear there is some horrible graveyard tactic that is to fast for me that i cant counter.
Tormod's Crypt would be also possible but i could die before i can play it. For any other flashback tactic including
Snapcaster Mage the
Dryad Militant
from the sideboard should do enough.
I like
Sigarda, Host of Herons alot, 5/5 body flying hexproof is ok plus it avoids stuff like "you sac two attacking creatures right now" and hexproof is always nice. Downside..i need 7 cmc for her..so earliest cast could be turn 4.
Control
Negate is with
Simic Charm
just a spell to avoid combo breakers plus it allows some counter play with bouncing fattys or countering in the right moment.
