I noticed you play a lot of Fume Spitter. I have never been a fan of that guy, what is it that attracts you to it?

Honestly just ramping into a t2 Moon effect will get you so many free wins in Modern. You've built a good shell around that though. Digging this deck. I remember seeing a similar deck utilizing Werewolfs in Modern that was actually pretty sweet. I can't remember what Werewolfs he was using, but they were cheap and turned into pretty effective beaters. Might be worth looking up.

*Edit* just realized you were playing the 1 already! (Instigator Gang)

Hivemind is great against UWR, UR delver, and most control/grindier matches. It's not good against Pod, BGx, Affinity, or anything else with mana dorks. I have gotten so many free wins off Hivemind that i would never play this deck without it. Plus it's cool as fuck, and 1 of the main reasons i picked up this deck in the first place. Hahaha

Even aside from being cool though, i found playing without a 2nd wincondition can get you into trouble. There have been plenty of games where i actually ran out of Titans, chaining through them, and each of them being hit with Path, Snap-Path, eating sweepers, etc.

How have you been liking Trade Routes in here? Seems pretty interesting, I never thought of using that here.

You really want a Khalni Garden either SB or Main. In know it doesn't seem worthwhile at first but it's actually amazing in this deck. For 1 you really want to be able to fetch it off Titan against BGx decks so you can play around Liliana and Edict effects, but it's also great with Kessig in grindy games. It can be a great play to make a token or 2, then swing in with everything and wait for your opponent to declare blockers, then pump whatever is open for optimal damage output.

Also you need to play Seal as your enchantment/artifact hate. There is no other choice. It's mostly there for Blood Moon, and you need to play Seal before Moon resolves or you lose. Chances are you wont have your 1 forest, so you won't be able to cast anything to deal with a resolved Blood Moon.

Always been a big RUG Loam fan in Modern. I have a friend on Cockatrice that plays almost exclusively RUG Loam and crushes with it. I'm actually surprised more people haven't caught onto this deck yet.

Your list looks pretty tight. I would rather be running Remand over Rune Snag personally though. And i might even wanna slide in a few Spell Snare if possible. Snare has been killing it in modern for me lately as a 1-2 of. It's not a card i want to see multiples of usually, but it can be huuuge when played at the right time, and there are so many good things to be countering at 2 mana in Modern.

Looks pretty cool. I like seeing Goblin Bushwacker here.

I'm a sucker for any variant of Storm, i gotta admit.

I could see myself playing this list for sure.

The only thing i'm not really feeling here is some of the sideboard choices. Whats up with the Desperate Ritual in the board? I also don't like the extra Empty the Warrens in the board either, or even the Grapeshots really. I would probably cut those and Vapor Snag for Blood Moon and Lightning Bolt

Wow just noticed this comment. Yeah i totally agree though, and that's half the reason i've been digging on this deck so hard lately. It's just such a unique play experience. It uses some really unorthodox strategy, and plays out totally unlike any other deck i have played with. Once this thing gets going you feel like you have so many lines available to you, it's really awesome. The fact that it can actually be competitive too is just icing on the cake.



Also, LOL @ kingcobra23

Unfortunately what you're describing as "infinite mana" isn't infinite. You can only play 1 land per turn.

This is what Amulet Combo looks like.

Very cool. That might have even been me that told you to add Gifts, online. I'm always advocating Gifts in Storm to players, haha. It's awesome to see someone else so into the deck though. This thing is my baby. It's just so unique and fun to play. Seeing how shocked people are by the craziness of the combo turn is always fun too.

But yeah, i'm totally down for checking out your list, and trying to make this deck as good as possible. If you can, i would suggest making an MTGSalvation account so we can discuss it more over there. I had updated the old LegitKarona primer a while back, so there is some decent info in the new primer, and a few other people willing to talk about the deck.

My name is Lord Hazanko on there. Looking forward to seeing your list!

As cool as this deck is, and as much as i love Storm Crow, PhyrexianPossum is correct. Living Wish, or any Wish for that matter can't just grab any card you own. Doesn't work that way.

The card is useless here. And this is a poorly designed deck.

I would drop Lili and a land for 2 more Serum Visions. I wish there was some Thoughtseize main here too. Played a ton of Reanimator in Modern, and while the deck is sometimes inconsistent, it's definitely viable.


I play a pretty unconventional list, with Necrotic Ooze

Lol. You still haven't given any reason for playing Architects Ninja. I don't need to say anything more. You're a scrub.
