Great decks, bad cards Modern Challenge! Test Stage
Challenges and Articles forum
Posted on June 24, 2015, 11:26 p.m. by TheGamer
So I have an idea for a deckbuilding challenge. I'm going to post my idea down here, and I want some input. If I get positive feedback, I'll create another forum in the Challenges and Articles with the actual challenge. If you guys don't like it, I wont bother.
So, there are many competitive Modern decks currently, but two decks stand out from all of them: Amulet Bloom and Splinter Twin Combo. What do these decks have in common? They are combo decks that rely on specific cards to make a combo happen. Well what if we took the specific combo cards out of these decks... And made an innovative list with them?
I'm looking at you Splinter Twin and Amulet of Vigor. Neither of those cards really do a lot alone, and wouldn't really have such an impact on Modern, without their respected combos.
So my challenge for you all today is to make either a deck with either 4 Splinter Twins or 4 Amulet of Vigor, outside of the normal shell. No infinite combos, no combos, just these cards with awesome synergies!
I will work on a format for playing if we get enough support. And please, don't post your decks yet. This is basically a discussion on whether you guys think this is an idea worth doing, and how we can make it better. Thanks guys and happy deckbuilding!

Amulet Bloom is pure synergy if you take out the Hive Mind Combo....

_SeriosSkies_: As true as that is, i want to see if people can come up with something using Amulet with Karoo lands and Summer Bloom. But you have a good point, so i may just make it twin decks.

Nice idea :) does it have to be modern legal? since its gonna be just for fun...

If we get enough support, i would like to do a small tournament where the Twin decks play and the Amulet decks play until there's one of each... So it'd be cool if it was Modern legal. But i would love to see your idea even if it isnt modern. @PepsiAddicted

Its nooot modern legal and its freaking late so... maybe i made a misstake there but here we go:
-turn 1: drop forest, tap for fastbond. drop 2 islands, tap for 2 amulet of vigor . return 2 islands to your hand for Gush, draw 2 cloudpost. drop the 2 islands and the 2 cloudposts.turn 2: draw Recall, tap U for Recall, draw Mindslaver and Prototype Portal and 1 Cloudpost. drop the cloudpost, it triggers Vigor twice, untap it for the first trigger , tap for 3, untap it for 2nd trigger, tap all cloudposts for 9 tap the forest and the 2 islands for UUG = 15 mana in mana pool. cast prototype portal for 4, imprint mindslaver. spent 10 mana for the copy and activate it. repeat for the rest of the game.
Oh yeah its infinite in the end but in a different way
