Need Idea for Modern

Deck Help forum

Posted on Sept. 22, 2013, 12:10 p.m. by ScionLocke

I want to build a Ghave, Guru of Spores EDH, but my OCD prevents me from doing so until I build a second Modern deck. The biggest problem is, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I SHOULD BUILD!!! If someone could give me a good idea, I'd appreciate it.

Merfolk, because it's cheap while still being competitive.

Or Affinity, because it's so much fun.

Well, there's Melira Pod, Jund, Rock, U/R Storm, U/W/R midrange, Twin Exarch, Scapeshift, Merfolk, Affinity, Soul Sisters.... and that's just off the top of my head. What kind of deck mechanics interest you? What's your price range look like?

I just made my first modern combo deck: Melira. Its a pretty common pod deck, but i think it will be fun to play.

The deck i enjoy the most is my Eldrazi Control deck. Its not entirely modern, but the illegal cards (Brainstorm , Ponder and Swords to Plowshares ) can easily be replaced.

I've always loved B/W tokens myself.

fluffybunnypants: I'm not quite sure what archetype to play yet, i was hoping people could persuade me into something, although midrange has been something i've always wanted to try.

Also deck build for me is a project so price range doesn't quite matter but my pockets aren't lined with gold if you know what I mean.

I gotcha. Personally, I love my Scapeshift deck: Broshift (It's Prime Time!) because it's tons of fun to combo off of Primeval Titan , but I'm also in the process of building a Pod deck for modern. It's more of a project because I always shop around for cards.

My first modern deck is Merfolk.Competitive...? I have to say Merfolk is unstable if you have bad luck...just a fast aggro deck but nothing.

I run a R/G Wolf Run Ramp deck (Run, Fat Boy, Run!) which is a ton of fun to play.
