Modern UR Tempo
Modern forum
Posted on Dec. 27, 2017, 1 p.m. by SeekerofSecrets
Me and my friends are doing a $100 modern tournament, I've put together a UR delver list running delver, young pyro, stormchaser and swiftspear. With 12 cantrips (visions opt ect) and a basic control package. I'm loving how the deck has run in playtesting BUT i haven't been impressed with stormchaser or swifty.
So my options are either get more aggressive and loose the control OR change up my creature bass to better support my tempo play.
I'd stay tempo/control based so i need help with suggestions on creatures
I've looked at
are there any that i'm missing?thanks for any advice

TheAlexGnan i really like thing in icebut i feel like when it flips it undos all of the tempo i worked so hard to build. I twipes all my tokens and i'd have to reflip delver. So i feel like id have to go all in on thing to play it right.
rothgar13 i like archer but i just feel like Thermo-Alchemist is a better body and i dont think having them both is worth it

I have to agree that TITI is the best way to go. I do not understand being worried about losing a few tokens and a flipped delver when you gain a 7/8 that attacks unblocked for at least a turn and will likely finish off the opponent. If it doesnt, you have a 7/8 creature that is the largest creature in Modern.

Boza you have a point. I think im going to test
That puts us at 15 creatures, i know that's more then most delver list but i think we'll get allot of value from them

I'd cut the thermo alchemist. Doesn't seem worth a spot.

APPLE01DOJ for the long grindy game i think he'll pay off, hes not an awful blocker, and he should be a great target for removal over my over my other creatures. And if he isnt dealt with, he helps me get maximum value out of running 12 cantrips. But of course if he doesn't perform i'll pull him out
And sorry abt not posting my current list, its kind of every where atm moment b/c my local shop didnt have everything i needed so its not optimal atm

Firebrand Archer may also be an option for you.
