Batterskull is awesome for one reason. Once you land it G1 against aggressive decks, it makes it hard to lose. In control mirrors, and against midrange, you need that sweet card advantage from Keranos.

Resto is pretty good, especially with lots of Snappies and some Cliques, but in the grindy matchups, where win conditions matter more, Resto falls short.

Those are fair points. I personally have never had Skull in my maindeck, so I can't speak to that much.

I've found Keranos to be rather poor as compared to the Angel in control mirrors. You have to tap low for him, while the Angel lets you keep up Cryptic and so on.

But it Bolts your opponent every turn or draws a card, They cant remove it favourably and Resto is weak to all the otherwise dead removal.

Angel is a lot less awkward to resolve, and having them Path your guy is more or less fine. Also does a number on Spirit tokens.

Y'know, I just realized that Krenko's Command sounds a lot like Cryptic Command. Power level check?

We need to get a better title to draw in those plebs.

I'm thinking 'French Fries'. French because UWR are the colours of France, and Fries because it's basically burn deck with counterspells.

Alterations could include something to do with instant meals, or anything Russia.

Yeah, Everyone else has such catchy names.

Because the deck's boring AF to look at for non-competitive players.

I think Ajani Vengeant should be the mainboard wincon over Keranos, God of Storms as long as burn is such a big deck. Ajani is much better at saving you from burn spells. And if they don't focus on killing him. He'll be a double Lightning Helix in that matchup. And if they do focus on killing him, He's still like 1,5 Lightning Helix.

Keranos is better in the mirror, and probably a little bit agaimst Splinter Twin, but only ever so slightly

But Ajani is better against Burn, Zoo, Merfolk, Strom and Tron.

I think that even though twin sees the most play, and considering you are already in a good position against it should consider Ajani Vengeant over Keronos in the main

Its a good thought, But Batterskull seems weaker than Keranos.

Ill have a tinker, But I thi k your probably correct.

I dont know how I feel about keranos. It's a nice card, but it kind of hurts when you reveal that counter

Honestly that doesn't really matter at all.

Batterskull seems very weak right now with Kolaghan's Command being an auto-include in every deck that runs black and red. (grixis delver, grixis twin, jund)

I agree, Haven't updated the list in ages.

In the process of updating the modern format primer a bit, any chance of this getting updated/an extended primer being made? Take your time; we're not in any rush or anything.

I could write a short one. Or you could simply hand the job onto Jex.

He is far more involved in this community than I.

I'll go ask him.

Would you be ok with me moving the linked decklist to Jex's? He already has a sort of mini primer; I would just ask him to add a short blurb on Nahiri, the Harbinger's use in the deck as well.

If he is still around it honestly doesnt bother me.

If he is as inactive with me, I can right up a primer.

Nothing flashy, just a brief justification of each card and sideboard options.

If he doesn't respond in a day or two I'll ask you to just write up something small. Appreciate it.
