Could This be Viable?
Modern forum

I was looking at counterspells recently for Commander, and I came across Perplex. I am wondering if y'all think it's possible to build a board/hand control deck in modern with Perplex? If so, please give some ideas for cards because I'm trying to get into modern, but don't know it too well.

It also gives the opponent a choice, which really isn't that great to begin with. Also, what JexInfinite said. Cryptic Command, while hard to cast, is just better because it just counters and does things.

Cryptic Command is on a whole new level. It's a very safe statement to say that it's overpowered. It does everything against every deck.
Having an option to transmute is pointless outside of EDH, too.

It's normally played if you also have a card you would want to transmute it into. You'd want to run it if the counter was relevant, and also you have a CMC 3 combo piece or something.

If you're looking to transmute things, it's not terrible. Transmute is an insanely good ability.

I've transmuted a Tolaria West into a Pact of Negation to save my butt a couple times. It works in the right shell. But besides that, I have to agree with all that's been said.

Thanks, guys. I learned a lot from y'all's comments.

It's a 3 mana counterspell which is hard to cast.
I'm going to stick to Mana Leak and Remand.
