Snapcaster Deck - Modern
Deck Help forum
Posted on Dec. 27, 2011, 9:51 a.m. by vishnarg
So I now have a playset of snapcaster mages and I wanted to start a U/R deck with that, Pyromancers Ascension, Isochron Scepter, Lightning Bolt, Mana Leak, and Rune Snag. It is an instant and sorcery based deck, obviously. Does anyone have any ideas for the rest of the deck? And yes my land base will be Steam Vents, Scalding Tarn, Sulfur Falls, and mountains and islands.
Manamorphose , Boomerang , Burst Lightning , Call to Mind
Don't know how I feel about Snapcaster Mage in the deck.

Just saying, you will need the creatures especially in a metagame involving the kings of agro... i.e. a Cascade deck, elves, or Zoo... you will need a way to stay defended... possibly you could mix in black, which goes against your original idea, but that would enable card:Black Sun's Zenith, Grave Titan , Massacre Wurm , Despise ... now this is from my knowledge of Standard, and Magic in general, but I have had this idea for a modern deck floating around for a while... just some suggestions :)

Oh, okay, I get it, so with all of this instant and sorcery damage floating around, you will be able to take out creatures if neccesary, but in general, games wouldnt last long enough for your opponent to get out their bombs, okay, thanks mafteechr... I only started playing at the end of Alara block so I am not a particularly advanced player

Delver of Secrets Flip Flip
is perfect for a setup like this, then you would need a couple bombs Wurmcoil Engine
or Inferno Titan
could do the trick, unless you want to go with a more defensive approach with Precursor Golem
