Modern Win Condition

Deck Help forum

Ok, here is my deck Dark side of the Scepter it's a control deck based on Isochron Scepter . It works as it's intended but I'm trying to think of a different win condition.

Currently it relays on:

  • Thought Scour every turn to mill (Slow and not so easy to pull out)
  • Liliana Vess -8 ability a bit faster but needs creatures in your opponent graveyard
  • A big Wight of Precinct Six for damage. The fastest of all but the problem is that it relies on creatures in your opponent's graveyard just like Liliana

I was thinking of swapping Wight of Precinct Six for something else but struggling to find something as fast and effective. I tried Jace's Phantasm and Ichorclaw Myr (for the interaction with Academy Ruins ) but the results did not satisfy me at all.

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance!

Creeping Tar Pit would be an excellent inclusion. Let's you run some extra win conditions at the slight cost of having a few lands that come in tapped, that it even improves the color fixing is even better.

Otherwise I'd recommend going for something that's going to be of a known commodity every time, and isn't reliant on supplemental interactions to make it better. Maybe something like Vendilion Clique , which is a good clock and can help protect your Isochron Scepter from hate.

after looking at your deck, I honestly feel Tarmogoyf is the win-con u need.

I'm sorry APPLE01DOJ but I'd like to keep it bi-color. Slycne I like the suggestions, I'll test them right away!

well Tarmogoyf is blue, so I don't see how that's a problem xD

Being yellow colorblind may work to turn Tarmogoyf into blu :D
