Hey. I really like the deck and I'm going out to buy it today. My friend and I want to start going into some local modern tournaments, and I was wondering if you could do me a favor and post a more competitive version of this deck? I'd do it myself, but I'm still fairly new to Magic. Thank you!

Please refer to the comment directly above yours.

Like I said, I'm kinda new, and pretty dumb with building decks... but I'll take a shot at it.

You're welcome to start your own deck list and ask the community to assist with suggestions to build a more competitive version without budget constraints. Just give this deck credit in your description so nobody gives you crap about stealing the idea. Tag me in the comments and I'll come help too.

If you do decide to do that, I'd suggest Creeping Tar Pit as well as it provides another unblockable creature to push Worldslayer through with.

I tried doing some modifications to the deck, to grant it a bit more of a competitive edge; do you think you might be able to take a look and give your opinions on it: No Secrets, Just Death?

Worldslayer Survival & Combos

• Deathrender can work before and with Worldslayer (putting a new creature in play after Worldslayer activates).
• High-endurance mana sources, consider Dakmor Salvage, and the previously mentioned Darksteel Ingot. On this topic, you should of course still be running Darksteel Citadel. The best creatures this deck serves cost 2~3 black mana, meaning Citadel alone isn't super useful for replacing your lost creatures.
• Cauldron Haze is an Undying Evil alternative. Costs 1 more to cast but can save any number of creatures (gives -1/-1, so won't work with Vault Skirge).

Unblockable Fun

• Hot Soup is a strange Prowler's Helm alternative. Costs 1 less to cast, but 1 more to equip.
• Shimian Specter works well with the unblockable theme.

Lich's Toolbox

• Pariah's Shield makes you immortal
• Dead-Iron Sledge is slightly better than deathtouch and has no disadvantage

Land Stuff

With the goal of thinning the deck (draw cards you want sooner) but at the cost of slowing down the deck (up to 1 turn), consider Evolving Wilds and Terramorphic Expanse. (or spring for their more expensive fetchland cousins if you want them to come into play untapped)

Example: With 22 land target, including 4x Citadel and 4x Dakmor, 14 basic lands would remain. Drop half of those basic lands to put in 7 Wilds/Expanse.

Super good suggestions, thank you!

Any recommended cards for a sideboard?

This is really awesome. I've been slowly trying to get into modern more and this is a great inexpensive reference.

Shouldn't you add some removal other than Worldslayer, like maybe an Ultimate Price

Swiftfoot Boots for side maybe? or 2 of them in maindeck? To deal out with annoying blue decks that send criatures to graveyard or back to your hand...

I love this deck! Cheap and fun! Have you ever actually played it at a modern tournament?

Just some FNMs, nothing hardcore. It certainly holds its own. It's not going to consistently score you a top spot, but it's so much fun to play, you usually won't care.

I may well build it, then! I want to get into modern,at the FNM level, preferably without selling the soul of my firstborn child.

It's a good deck to get started with because it's cheap and fun in its regular form, and it gives you a decent platform to build a stronger deck off. Good luck!

This is great, I'm planning on making a knight variant. :) +1

Glad you like it! Enjoy!

Hi. First of all - awesome deck! It's a ton of fun. When playing with Dark Ritual which cards do you remove? I've tested various option, but haven't seemed to find the right setup...yet :-)

If you're playing Dark Ritual, you're playing casual anyway. Just slap it in and run 64 cards. Won't make much of a difference in friendly games.

Yeah you've got a point :-) played with the deck last night - against a modified version of your Lich Lord deck. Won 2 out of 10. Was really fun when the combos were flying!

Cheers

Yeah this deck would have a difficult time against a deck like my Jarad deck. Wiping the board just helps that deck.

I'm in love with this deck! I currently have a weak vamp deck with blood artist in it but after seeing this i'm scraping that deck. This is great up vote here from me +1

Awesome darkyellowmoon! You'll enjoy it. It isn't the greatest deck of all time, but it's fun to play. And that's more important sometimes. When you get Worldbreaker in your hand and you know you'll be able to get it out and probably untap with it equipped, it's the best feeling.

I really, REALLY love the idea behind this deck. I will definitely try to build my own version of this. It won't be ultra-budget anymore, but you're deck inspired me. Definite upvote from me.
