Bloom Titan
Modern forum

I like the general idea of bloom titan and have started building a deck similar to the one that placed 3rd at grand prix milan. For those not familiar with the deck its essentially Summer Bloom to get out Primeval Titan by turn 3 with some great utility lands for the win runs RUG colors sometimes all 5
My question is why isn't Rubblehulk being utilized? is he just a win more card? Does it lend to to many 2for1 in modern? whats the communities thoughts?
yeah i guess on a magical hand you can get him out t2 with only one land in play before he starts triggering... So now I see that they usually play with a Hive Mind combo in the deck as well. Does the deck win more often with that combo or with primetime beat down?

The wins come more from the Titan, but Hive Mind is in there as an alternate win condition if they have your creatures locked up, and basically plays Titans 5-7.

cool thanks! Going to do a bit more research on the deck then hopefully will have a decent list figured out! I dont like copying decks verbatim off of mtgtop8 and such never seems to work out for me.

Bloom Titan has almost no slots that can really change, unless there are new cards printed that are more efficient. That is the real reason why it isn't used, it just isn't good enough to bump another card out

Yeah it's a fragile deck. I'm wondering about taking out the hive mind combo to add in some protection for the Titan.

I've also thought about building Bloom Titan, and the card I've been thinking about trying to work in is Kessig Wolf Run

since this is shifting more into a tweaking the deck thread I uploaded a list that Piotr Gogowski ran at the milan GP and we can continue over there discussing it with the list infront of us and propose changes.

Honestly out of all the bloom titan decks I've seen, nbarry223's Viga-BOOM! (turn 2) is the best one i've seen yet.
Totally versatile in terms of covering all it's bases and combating the current meta.
Imo it kinda makes the other bloom titan deck's look bad with how much thought has been put in it.

Yeah ive seen the kessig inkmoth before and loved it! I like nbarry223's version because it isn't relying on a backup combo its just its own deck gonna do its thing no matter what haha

I mean, there's plenty of stuff you can change about the deck. The only real "core" to the deck is:
6+ green bounce lands
4 Summoner's Pact (titans 5-8 basically)
Everything else, is open to change. You just have to make sure what you are adding in is coherent and tries to accomplish the same thing. For example, slower controlling cards wouldn't belong with more explosive options. Pick one, and stick with it.

In Amulet Combo, you don't need to win with big creatures. Primeval Titan and Slayers' Stronghold are strong enough to win by themselves.
There's also the Hive Mind + Pact combo, which works pretty well.

The deck doesn't actually put that many lands into play. You can get PrimeTime into play with 2 lands, and Rubblehulk is, like you said, overkill and unnecessary. It's also a very tight deck, meaning that it needs all the cards it has to be able to win games and playing something subpar is terrible.
