what is a good deck for modern now?
Jund and rock decks are still very powerful, but theyve been neutered with the ban of DrS in modern. There are lots of good decks in modern though. Melira/kiki pod, affinity, scapeshift, infect, splintertwin, tron, Faeries is certainly viable now bc of Bitterblossom , I could go on and on. What kind of player are you? what kind of decks do you usually like to run?

The top tier decks at the moment are Jund, Splinter Twin, Merfolk, GR Tron, Affinity, BUG infect. Melira pod might still be tier one but it really doesn't deal well with the banning of deathrite shaman. There a few other tier one decks as well as some very strong decks such as the UWR control variants and a few delver decks.

UB faeries might be top tier now that bitterblossom is unbanned.

Is Infect still top tier? Last I heard it was too fragile to be very competitive.

Infect has made a resurgence recently and is doing very well.

Well 8vomit I like the mono colors. I currently have a mono hreen devotion deck id like to get finished. Check it out its on my profile. But I like aggro, mill, mana ramo, big monsters. Mostly anything thats on my profile.

You should build tron. Its sometimes mono green, also has red splashed a lot of the time, tons of mana ramp, and the biggest creatures that exist in the game.

Wouldn't recommend mono green tron. It needs pyroclasm so it doesn't just lose 100% of the time if doesn't hit tron on turn 3.There's mono blue tron but it's not a particularly good deck, G/R is pretty solid.

That entirely depends on how much money you have to spend. budget? build infect. it's strong, and the deck is 20 bucks minus the playset of Noble Hierarch . Money out your ears? Build the Rock, get them Tarmogoyf . Based on your listed decks, you appear to be a fan of combo and your colors are mostly Grull with a lean on of blue. so something like U/G Storm would be up your alley. it's not as strong as it used to be, but it's still got plenty going for it, such as Young Pyromancer and Snapcaster Mage . If you're not necessarily in it to win it, Tribal Werewolves is a fun deck that does really well. Most of Gruul has shifted into Good Stuff Jund, which is also insanely expensive. But really when it gets down to it, Modern has a lot of different decks. And there is tons of room for brand new deck ideas. Go explore!

Not super familiar with modern but I've read on here about jund being a good one.
