Well if you weren't on a budget I'd suggest a few Geist of Saint Traft.

Since you are, I'll reccomend Spirit Mantle.

Thanks Krakshot. With this deck Geist of Saint Traft would actually work. With take 1 it was kind of useless because of Godhead of Awe would have made those angels just 1/1. I actually have put 2x Spirit Mantles aside already. Just don't know what to take off :)

I really like the way you cheat out Eldrazi Conscription with Arcanum Wings. Also, conside replacing the Reach Through Mists with Ponder, Gitaxian Probe or Serum Visions, as they are just better.

Thanks Vyxil! Actually, I beg to differ. Main reason why I will stick with Reach Through Mists is because it's an arcane spell -> adding extra tutoring thanks to Tallowisp. Thus making it far superior (for this deck) to those you mentioned.

Not to mention Ponder isn't even legal in Modern.

I've been looking to get into Modern and I think this is a great deck to do just that! +1'd

Another Eldrazi Conscription may be useful...

Aefinn says... #11

Maybe, Mortem. But in most cases it's not needed because all that tutoring. Of course there is a chance that I will lose it. But budget. Originally there was 2 but I had to make cuts.

Pffft. Went and ordered the second one. This deck is still ridiculously cheap :D

I like Academy Researchers with Eldrazi Conscription, a turn 3 HUGE 12/12 with annihilator... yeah buddy...

That being said I think you need Nevermore or Meddling Mage as another control aspect to help you hold off and survive until you get to pull off your huge cards.

Nice build! It's actually quite awesome. And being of Suomi descent, I had to give it a +1 based on the name alone!

Aefinn says... #16

-MisterJ-, thanks for suggestions (sorry it took so long to respond). I like the idea with Academy Researchers. I would like it even more if it was a spirit. Because hexproofing I try to stay with spirits.

mitchasm, thanks mate! Glad you like it :)

I'd add Path to Exile instead of Reach Through Mists if it doesn't break your budget. Obviously Zur the Enchanter could work well here, but that's probably for another deck. +1

derKochXXL, sorry it took me this long to reply. Didn't see your comment previously. Reach Through Mists doesn't only allow you to draw, thanks to Tallowisp you can tutor any aura. So way better than Path for this deck.

Calcutyper already in maybeboard. Pricetag has been the only reason why there isn't one in this deck. I'm planning on adding them though after MM15 release. Maybe.

Aefinn says... #21

Alrighty. Bought 2 Daybreak Coronets. Decided to take Steel of the Godhead and Auramancer's Guise out.

Crav96 says... #22

How about Corrupted Conscience ? Could give you a turn 5 win (ideally with cheated Eldrazi Conscription)! In any case, great budget deck, and the best (imo) colors! +1 mate

Aefinn says... #23

Crav96 thanks for the +1 and suggestion! 5 mana is quite steep. I also play mostly with just my friends and we have our own gentleman rules that forbids infect. But I see how some others might use that card in deck like this :)

Inuit2000 says... #24

I think you could need a Onedrop because with it you could have Eldrazi Conscription out on turn 3

October 14, 2015 2:34 p.m.

Aefinn says... #25

Inuit2000 in a way I agree. It's always better to have a lower CMC and I have noticed that this deck might need some smaller creatures. But I don't think that doing so just to have the small chance of turn 3 EC isn't the proper reason for that.

I think Gladecover Scout could be the way to go. Though, I would like to stick with spirits because of synergy.
