Whats something wonky?
Modern forum
Posted on March 13, 2015, 5:34 p.m. by 8vomit
Ive been working on a bunch of decks lately, but they are all pretty cookie-cutter modern decks, and id like to build a weird deck that doesnt follow that. But Id also like it to be decent at FNM. It doesnt have to be like hyper competitive though. I just want to build some wonky deck that no ones expecting to see. So post some ideas and feedback for me.
Thanks for looking!

GoldGhost012 thats kind of a cool idea, in affinity it would be a big monk avatar quick.
canterlotguardian im not big on mono red decks. the LGS i play at is consumed by mono red as it is.

Yeah, that's probably gonna be the next deck I make too, just to see How good it might be. I might take that TarmoAffinity list and see if I can make it fit.

Make a delverless delver deck. Or use turbofog. That's always fun.

make white pillow fort. do it. nyx-fleece rams, ghostly prisons, phyrexian unlife, both giedeons, Holy Day, then Path to Exile and Valorous Stance could work.

@APPLE01DOJ Good idea! It could be some sort of (poxless) 8-rack self mill/devotion list with Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx and maybe Phyrexian Obliterator and and and...
And I'm out of cards. Wizards should make Cabal Coffers modern legal.

do amulet combo but black into sheoldred. it'll be fun. no one will have any idea what you're doing. you won't know what you're doing. your opponent will just keep waiting for a prime time each match. also usable for this are Elderscale Wurm, Wurmcoil Engine, Hornet Queen, Butcher of Malakir, Chancellor of the Dross, Gaea's Revenge. Also this is ridiculously bad. though looking through cards now I noticed it's possible to Chancellor of the Tangle for amulet of vigor, karoo land for summer bloom, prime time. turn one. I might start running the chancelor as a one-of in amulet bloom when I'm just trying to have fun.

(all the creatures I listed can just replace primeval titan as a turn-two play off of the same land-sequence that amulet bloom does, as long as you get your amulet play on turn one instead of a tap-land then use the golgari bounce-land.

Do you literally want something no one expects to see? What about making them expect one thing, and then doing... another? evil grin

Seriously though, I'm having tons of fun with pseudo-mill lately. Feels good to get them all worked up about getting milled out and then donkey punch them with a Nihilith.

Make a deck with Thrun, the Last Troll as ur wincon.

hey I run him in jankee mostly-casual amulet bloom as long as your opponent doesn't play liliana, he never dies. so great to play in like a game two when they've sided in removal.

I run him in Mono Black Control MB. He flat out wins games throw him a deck with Treetop Village and you're in business.
March 13, 2015 6:32 p.m.
Run U/W control, except your only creatures are Azor's Elocutors. No, you don't even get Batterskulls.

I'm enjoying 4C dredge reanimator. Attrition style, not turbo fast dump your yard. My list is:

Jeskai Ascendancy. Like the standard deck, but modern, which is better.

Waste Not, Liliana's Caress deck using Burning Inquiry, Wistful Thinking, and Dark Deal. I'm running a version of this on mtgo and it is really fun!
March 13, 2015 8:20 p.m.
Or if you wanna go wonkier than that you can try Waste Not storm. I love it, and people tend not to mind playing against it the first couple times, because it's so much fun to watch.

I would say mono white turbofog, but no one will want to play against it. There is a reason i call my list "Losing friends on a budget". But yeah, waste not as mentioned above is fun but inconsistent i found. I really really like your zombiepox list, by the way. It inspired me to test a version of my own.

look up Myr Cruelty and Chaos Theory decks here in tappedout

Go Affinity Voltron Storm running a few Grapeshots, Monastery Mentors, Jeskai Ascendancys and Myth Realized as your main win cons. Kemba, Kha Regent and Armament Master as side win cons.

@Femme_Fatale Is that the list with Puresteel Paladin?
March 14, 2015 7:26 p.m.
Thanks you everyone for your suggestions. I have some lists to check out now for sure.
TehCoopeh waste not storm sounds hilarious, I might make something like that.

Yes jandrobard. It has definitely become more viable with the Khans block bringing out a whole load of prowess stuff.

Well, I mean, I run Land Destruction myself... If I was actually a good player, they'd probably hate me. As is, I hardly place so no one minds. That, and it keeps them damned Splinter Twins on their toes!
March 15, 2015 12:40 a.m.
I had a friend talking about a jund deck revolving around Phyrexian Obliterator using Domri Rade to have it fight stuff, dropping Gray Merchant of Asphodel as a finisher.
March 16, 2015 11:55 a.m.
I know. He plays Purphoros, God of the Forge in EDH. That sais it all.

Genesis Wave combo decks can be a fun rouge deck in the current meta as they fair well against midrange decks, while performing alright against aggro and control usually after some side board. However they do have trouble with combo decks such as splinter twin. I've recently been trying out a naya mid range/ aggro variant which performs fairly well as white provides the necessary control to allow better performance in the modern meta, however it does lose that truly over the top mana ramp combo, not to say it can't get big it just usually finds it more preferable to do a somewhat smaller variant.

Make an Affinity deck tuned around the new Myth Realized.
