Deck concepts and advice
Deck Help forum

Since I don't actually own any of my decks, I need help with which decks I choose to buy. In addition to deck:solar-titan, I plan to buy one of the following decks: Blighted Swordlash: an unstoppable assault deck, deck:flaming-knowledge, deck:fog-leak-curses-trail-run-mages-fells-rug-control, or Drogskol Counters: an unstoppable assault deck. Please tell me which of the concepts could work best (keep in mind deck:flaming-knowledge is modern, and will be going against more powerful decks), and if that deck can be improved, how. Also, some of those might need help with the sideboard. Thanks a lot. =)
Thanks a lot Timbo. (late response due to unsubscription somehow :/ ) For blighted swordlash, I need someone to either give suggestions, or comment on it, before I can really be sure that it will do (at least somewhat) well. deck:flaming-knowledge I'm a little shaky on because I'm kinda scared of more powerful decks in modern, but it is really good compared to my other decks, so my shakieness is somewhat irrational. I hope other people will comment on this, and I'll see if their meta is similar, and if it is, then that'll pretty much decide it. Again, thanks a lot. =)

No problem, man. With all the help you have provided me over the time I have been on this site, it was the least I could do. :)

I'm leaning towards getting blighted swordlash because it kills quicker.

Ok, Mistory, I will give you not only the one(s) I think you should go for, but reasons why. Here we go:
1). PLEASE DO NOT BUY:
-- Fog Leak, Esq.
I do not think this deck would do too bad, but you have better tenative decks listed. Not to mention, yes i am a little biased, I do not like green (even a little bit). :)
-- Drogskol Counters, Esq.
I have run a similar deck to this at FNM for several weeks and get poned every time. This may be a geographical thing however. In my town, everyone runs either crazy control or Wolf Run. Although the tokens look good on paper, it is kind of difficult to get that one to run not only efficiently, but quickly.
2). PLEASE BUY THESE DECKS
Depending on how much you are willing to spend, I feel there are two decks that will be good for you.
-- Blighted Swordlash, Esq.
This one is a little fresher, and as a more innovative player, I like to see that. This should take care of business in the standard format.
-- Flaming Knowledge (no Esq????) :)
I have been a fan of this one since I saw it and this deck really ruined my day when I played against it two weeks ago. Use it and have fun in Modern, cuz honestly, they will never see it coming.
I hope what I have commented will help in some way. I know I could have offered better technical advice, but we both know the capabilities of these decks. I based my comments solely on what I have seen in FNM and my personal taste. Good luck, and let me know which way you go.
