Thanks for the 600 UpVotes! —Sept. 20, 2023
This deck has been a pet deck of mine and with each new set we get a card or two to add to the card pool. I appreciate all of the feedback over the last 5 years from everyone who's stopped by. Modern is a format that is being pushed out of reach for most players, so it is vital to have decks like this one that can be acquired at reasonable prices and get a couple wins at your LGS on Modern night. It's an uphill battle but an enjoyable one. The look of shock and appreciation from the rest of your LGS alone makes this worth sleeving up. While this deck is and will be updated with every set, I have been eying other formats where Junding Em Out can be done on the "cheap." Thanks again everyone for the half a decade of support!! Cheers!

GrimlockVIII I know. lol
It’s a really fun deck at least. Not like some budget decks with no power/consistency.

Absolutely Kaweiwu!
I did have BBE
in some of the early versions of the deck. The main reason is that there are better 4-drops and even a 5-drop that are strong finishers. Olivia Voldaren being the best of those. Also, with Riveteers Charm in the deck, it could be a bad hit off BBE as the most common mode choice is the second one.
You could definitely tweak the list by running 3-4 copies of Bloodbraid Elf, a playset of Nissa, Voice of Zendikar as the only planeswalker in the deck (Maybe keeping a single Liliana, the Last Hope, Domri, Anarch of Bolas or even Grist, the Hunger Tide), and really focus on the +1/+1 Counters plan with Bloodhall Ooze.
As the deck is now, there are several lines to victory:
Combat damage (Most common)
Ultimate Sorin the Mirthless
Posion Counters with Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon
Endless Zombies with Liliana, the Last Hope
By cutting the 4+ MV cards for Bloodbraid Elf, the deck loses 2 win conditions. You could still run the higher MV cards, but risk cascading through them in the process.
Hope that helps a little bit. Thanks for the question!

Hey! The background on this page is black. Not sure if this is intended or if there's supposed to be a background image.
Feel free to reach out if you'd like help troubleshooting this!
Happy deckbuilding

Thanks scotchtapedsleeves! On mobile the background only shows at the top of the page. I haven’t checked on desktop recently but I will take a look.
