Interesting Modern decks
Modern forum
Posted on Nov. 17, 2014, 1:50 p.m. by JWiley129
So I was doing my daily sweep of Magic articles and i came across this deck, which is super sweet. It made the think about other interesting decks in the format, and I wanted to pose this to the rest of the T/O community. What is an interesting, non-Tier 1, deck that you've seen that made you go, "I want to build that deck."?
OMG, I've been thinking about making an article like this so much! :D If I had money, I'd definitely build my deck I built not to long ago!

Wasn't there a Treefolk deck that won a Modern Daily about a month ago as well? I loved how it plays with Cavern of Souls much like this one, though I'm more of a boring old net decker with 
Tron who loves Karn Liberated too much.

That deck gets hit pretty hard by Torpor Orb which may or may not be in peoples SB's.
Back when 8Rack was new I was inspired to build it. I built it about a dozen times since and wasn't really happy with it until I built the Rakdos version. R/B(/G/U) is the way to go when it comes to that deck.

I tooled around with a standard discard deck when someone at my LGS mentioned 8rack and I fell in love and eventually worked in red for anger of the gods and for charms out of the side.

You like 5 color aggressive decks? I've had a list for a while that I only really got to play around with in testing because I don't have infinite money. Five color delver aggro!
Captain Planet! is the list, and it performs pretty well in testing.

I'm currently brewing a deck with a card I found in some bulk rares that reminded me of a Modern, less-good Sneak Attack: Impromptu Raid.

I've messed around with Assault Loam decks a lot. My favorite is creatureless Jund.

Cruel Control is an underrated deck, but it's really slow and not that amazing compared to UWR and Scapeshift.
Super fun to resolve a Cruel Ultimatum, though.

I was on Mono Blue Infinite Turns for awhile, which was fun. But I found it to be less so for my opponent. So clearly I moved from that to Mono White Turbofog, as one does. And now Jeskai Burn...am I a bad person? Maybe.

I built this a while back. I always thought it was really fun to play.

Everyone needs their chance at self-gratification. Nothing wrong with whoring yourself out for likes on the internet.
Also, if you haven't seen my white affinity deck...

Well, what else are we supposed to say? I wouldn't link someone elses non-tier one deck, because I haven't seen it before.

This deck is awesome. Love that 5 color Ancient Ziggurat can be a thing.
I've always (as in, for the last year or so) been a fan of non-green devotion decks in modern. They just seem so out of place, yet have the capacity to work so well within themselves. Black, specifically, is really appealing to me because of how well the creatures can function within the shell.
