Extraction in Modern?

by aian on 07 December 2011

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.

Deck discussion for Extraction in Modern?

Looks great, but only one question, how do you win? Other than that i really like it.

so far, it's just by disabling the opponent, making him rage quit :D

another is by decking your opponent. :D

I like it as well, but I find the lack of win conditions disturbing. Maybe you could just add a few grave titans or something? idk, but it's awesome nonetheless.

so how i'd beat this deck is to make a green deck with a bunch of 1 of's with pos cards. You'd have no idea what to remove and id eventually win cause i'd still somehow get creatures on the field XD

to summarize what i just said (cause i can hardly make sense of it), the reason extraction works so well is because extraction removes an opponents win condition, essentially. To beat this deck, I'd just create a stompy deck that's extremely unfocused with terrible cards. You would use extraction, but it wouldn't matter, cause everything in the deck is terrible. And i would win because, hey, i have all day lol.

I just find it incredibly ironic that the best way to beat extraction, one of the games best builds, is to use the worst decks. :)

well said.=)

which is exactly why extraction is so good, because people wouldn't want to make the "worst" decks, right? =P

Extraction is very strange in Modern. It just so happens that all of the good "tools" for making either Iso-Seek or PAL aren't in the format =/

This means in Modern Extraction serves as more of a 'side-dish' than a main attraction. I would redesign this a little to have some decent aggro backed up by some disruptive spells, maybe discard, and also some extraction.

This is the design I made for Modern, for reference =]
