Clash of Occupations! Modern deck building challenge.
Challenges and Articles forum
Posted on Dec. 6, 2014, 12:41 p.m. by UnknownDemon
Once again its time to Rise to the Challenge! This time our theme is creature subtypes.
Choose 1 of the following subtypes: Assassin, Warrior, Shaman, Cleric, Wizard, Knight, Archer, Soldier, Artificer, Rogue, Berserker, Scout, Druid, Samurai, Monk, Advisor, Barbarian or Spellshaper.
Make a 60-card Modern legal deck. All creatures in that deck must have the chosen subtype or it must be mentioned somewhere in its rule text. For example your Shaman deck can include Hearthcage Giant because it summons elemental shamans and your wizard deck can include Benthicore because it summons merfolk wizards.
Changelings are banned (but Mistform Ultimus isnt).
Each subtype can only be chosen once so if someone already posted his/her soldier deck you cant post your own.
Only 1 deck per user.
When 12 decks are posted the tourney shall begin.
Good luck.
What about non-creature Changeling spells like Nameless Inversion?

Here is the Druid deck I made pretty quickly. It is just a modified version of Modern Combo Elves. I'll make a sideboard if necessary and can help play matches if necessary.

In hindsight, cleric would have been the best, but I'll work with this.

Im about to start doing some duels when i notice that the assassin deck has been made private or deleted. I cant see what the deck is like so assassins are out of the tournament.
