I am Blue/White
Take The Magic Dual Colour Test - Beta today!
Hello, I started playing while Gatecrash was the newest set, in October 2013.
I must give credit to AdrinaDream for introducing me to the game.
Modern is my thing. It is as balanced as standard and there are more options... it is often much less expensive than standard too, so why play standard?
I don't even consider the other formats, it's all modern, all the time.
What I've picked up on from spending so much time on tappedout.net and reading the modern decks posted is that mono-colored decks are smooth and effective, and if built correctly will beat at least 90 percent of all others, but there's always that one counter that the color can't handle.
Green is horribly weak by itself in Modern.
If a two color deck fights a three color deck and they are both exceptionally built, the triple colored deck simply doesn't have the consistency, and that is that.
Here's a list of some of the most effective modern cards out there in my opinion, yes I know some of them are still standard legal..
Leyline of Sanctity
Lightning Bolt
Geralf's Messenger
Snapcaster Mage
Lightning Helix
Isochron Scepter
Mana Leak
Voice of Resurgence
Path to Exile
Silhana Ledgewalker
Wall of Omens
Sylvan Caryatid
Joiner Adept
Viscera Seer
Gatekeeper of Malakir
Cyclonic Rift
