Modern creature to build around
Deck Help forum
Posted on March 14, 2014, 8:47 a.m. by paper_wasp
Hey guys, I was hoping that someone could suggest a modern creature to build around. We play mostly casual in my meta and a friend just made Doran look unstoppable so I was hoping to try the same with a different creature. Price isn't too important, but I'd rather not drop my entire paycheck into this thing.
I think Cartel Aristocrat and Falkenrath Aristocrat are interesting cards to build around for casual magic.

What about a deck revolving around Skirsdag High Priest ? It's always been one of my personal favorites to play with, and I've seen some crazy shenanigans come of it.

Depends, do you want to make a deck that's funny because you built it around some abstract creature/idea?
Or are you looking for something that could potentially be competitive?

Build a deck around Boros Reckoner just make sure to have a way around combo. Maybe targeted protection from x in response of them trying to Splinter Twin

Demigod of Revenge is fun in a deck where you're making everyone at the table including yourself discard. He teams up nicely with dudes like Lotleth Troll , Bloodghast and Gravecrawler .

Thank you all for the comments. The ideas seem really cool and I'm excited I have some new concepts to play around.
APPLE01DOJ I think that's a little out of my price range as I don't currently have any of the lands,
Cobthecobbler I'd like something competitive definitely, but if it happens to be clever/funny at the same time then all the better.

2 words: Relentless Rats . Nothing Breaks casual like a swarm that doesn't stop.

If you want a 27/27 creature as early as turn 3, these cards are really cheap. Wordmail + Our Market Research Shows That Players Like Really and always get a good laugh at the table before inevitably getting killed off. Still fun.

GoofyFoot has a point with Relentless Rats , but you should then run Thrumming Stone for hilarity :)

Puresteel Paladin + 24 0 mana equipments + Retract + Simian Spirit Guide Grapeshot .
Blistercoil Weird + Paradise Mantle + 20 blue 1 mana cantrips + Simian Spirit Guide + Grapeshot .
Restoration Angel is cool and cheap and can lead to a lot of shenanigans, as his history in standard would suggest.
