This deck is AWESOME!!!! I will have to test it a little before trying to provide any suggestions/ideas (as it is something I haven't played in the past); but from the looks of it; there won't be much to suggest! Great deck. +1 for sure.

kungfuturtle: I just cleared the maybeboard on this deck because it was getting insanely long. Batwing Brume would be a good addition, though.

It is just a personal favorite, it ends games in modern.

Yeah, I have a few and have been wanting to put them in here. I'll be thinking about where I might find room for them.

Thanks, CurdBrosBrewingCo. Your seal of approval means a lot to me. I'm glad you like the deck!

That is a really fun idea kungfuturtle :) I would absolutely love to see a Twin player's face when they make 1,000 Pestermite
's and attack with all of them only to have you cast a Batwing Brume
....Ha!

CurdBrosBrewingCo: My sideboard for this sucks. Any ideas?

The thing with Batwing Brume is that it doesn't do a whole lot while Ghostly Prison is down. It can still be useful, and can potentially make or break a game, but the cards end up working against each other rather than working with each other, which is what I prefer. Though sideboarding Ghostly Prison out for Batwing Brume could be a lot of fun after your opponent sideboards for enchantment removal.

yeah....I prefer Ghostly Prison because it has more wide-range uses...I just think it would be a fun thing to play Batwing Brume against a Twin deck :)
Fortunately, you play white, so your board is gonna be AWESOME! Some ideas are:
- Thoughtseize
- Best combo killer there is.
- Rest in Peace - Perfect graveyard hate.
- Celestial Purge - Great against Twin, Liliana, Rock Decks, Pod, etc.
- Stony Silence - Affinity, Tron, Pod...hoses many of the top 10 decks.
- Leyline of Sanctity - Spectacular sideboard card. Great against Control decks (that do most of their damage with Lightning Bolt 's, Lightning Helix , etc.), Red Deck Wins, Scapeshift, 8-Rack (as they can't target you to discard), Thoughtseize , etc.
- Spellskite - Go to Modern sideboard. Great against G/W Boggles (Aura's), Splinter Twin, Control, etc.
- Mark of Asylum - This is a good card for you because it keeps all of your little creatures from getting killed by Anger of the Gods and/or Pyroclasm (both of which are popular right now).
These are the few of the ideas for a sideboard I could think of off the top of my head...hopefully some are helpful!

CurdBrosBrewingCo: Those are all great suggestions. Thank you so much! A few of them are outside my budget at the moment (Spellskite , Leyline of Sanctity , Thoughtseize ), but I'll be working most of these into the sideboard. I appreciate the help!

I love the concept of this deck! I built a deck a while back that ran off of gifting people creatures and then forcing them to lose them to a blood artist and illness in the ranks. This deck makes my deck look very very pale in comparison.

biggestmtgnerd: He's cool, but he's way too slow for this deck, especially if I have to splash green for him. He's a great card though.

maybe take out blood scrivener and put in Soul Warden

also sideboarding Leyline of the Void would shut down a lot of decks.

Have you considered Extirpate to help remove fetch lands and other cruel cards that simply would devastate your creature presence such as Merciless Eviction or Terminus . This card is uncounterable essentially with split second and simply will be great to have at the ready. It also can be complimented with Surgical Extraction which is just ase useful but is counterable

Thanks for all the great suggestions, everyone.
GamerSonX: Darkness is cool, but I would probably just run Batwing Brume instead. It costs one more, but it is more in line with what I'm trying to do with this deck. The only issue I have with it is that it can be a crappy draw if I have Ghostly Prison down.
Jamesfurrow: Those are great suggestions, and I have considered them in the past. My only problem is that they are outside my budget for this deck. They would all make great additions, though.
zombierunner I love Serra Ascendant but she is also a pricy card, and in my playtesting I've found that I don't often get above 30 life with this deck. I usually hover around 25. It might be better now that I have Ghostly Prison and Genesis Chamber in here, but other than that, since lifegain isn't really the deck's core strategy, it seems like my money might be better spent on strong sideboard cards like what Jamesfurrow suggested.

What is your budget on the deck? Extirpate for a play set is roughly 12-14 dollars and same goes with surgical extraction roughly. Also i think having Growing Ranks could be useful because a continious populate is fairly relevent in your deck so you have more cannon fodder.

NoSoyYucateco says... #25
Jamesfurrow: I could possibly put 3 Extirpate in the sideboard one of these days. I'll see how my budget ends up looking next month, because it is a really good suggestion for this deck.
The only problem with Growing Ranks is that it stops working when Illness in the Ranks is down.

Maybe a creature that draws on ETB + Flickerwisp ? Wall of Omens might be fun in here.
