Modern Death and Taxes

Modern Competitive Mono-White

GarrettO23


Sideboard


This is my take on Modern Death and Taxes. Abuses a lot of blinking tricks with Aether Vial and Flickerwisp. This deck has a ton of hate against combo and is pretty well positioned against the current meta game. I Have at least a 50/50 match up with the majority of the top decks.

GP Richmond was pretty insane. The largest constructed GP of all time with over 4300 players. I felt pretty good with the deck and I didn't ever feel like I had a horrible match up. I started the tournament 3-0 and I ended day 1 with a record of 5-2-1 just missing day 2.

Round 1: 2-0 over UWR Control

This is one of my easiest match ups and it is a pretty standard result.

Round 2: 2-1 over Merfolk

By far one of my worst match ups. I ended up mulling to 4 game 1 and losing by turn 6. On games 2 and 3 I hand pretty good draws and was able to grind out 2 close games.

Round 3: 2-1 over Storm

I lost on turn 3 game 1 but after side boarding I dominated the following games. Storm is very fragile and is a huge underdog against my deck.

Round 4: 1-2 loss to Kiki Pod

This is a long, grindy match up and I feel that I'm a slight underdog. Every game was close but he just drew better.

Round 5: 1-1 draw to Bant Control

This match up was fairly easy but the person I played against played very slow. Game 1 I ended up using triple Tectonic Edge and he conceded. Game 2 he drew a Damping Matrix and I never recovered. Game 3 we went to turns and on turn 4 I hit for 7 with a Batterskull equipped to a Restoration Angel and dropped him to 6 life. He was turn 5 and we had to take a draw even though I had lethal next turn.

Round 6: 2-0 over Splinter Twin

This game was all about destroying his lands and hitting him with Blade Splicer tokens.

Round 7: 2-0 over Tarmo Twin

This deck is a little harder against me because Tarmogoyf is a very strong card to deal with. Luckily game 1 was pretty quick and I had a fast start. Game 2 I sided in Dismember and Relic of Progenitusfoil. He went for the combo and I was able to Dismember his Pestermite. After that I continued to bash in 2 more turns and he conceded.

Round 8: 0-2 loss to Merfolk

As I said earlier this is a very tough match up for me. Game 1 I had to mull to 5 and lost to a turn 1 Aether Vialfoil. Game 2 was also pretty rough as he had triple Spreading Seas to lock me out of a white source for a turn and he just hit me with islandwalk creatures to win.

Round 9: Drop

I knew I had no chance to make day 2 because of the draw I had earlier. I felt pretty good with the deck and I do feel like it is well positioned against the current meta.
