chalice of the void though.............

fine, put in thoughtseize instead. erase is for blood moon, which is a VERY crippling card against this deck i have found.
thanks, link me your version, i am curious to examine the differences and make potential changes
In the whole deck including sideboard, i only see green for abrupt decay and grim flayer. is green really necessary for just those two cards? with some mono black subs this could be probably as effective without a painful manabase.
the strategy is basically a tokenless swarm or fiers so you need to draw lots of creatures to play lots of creatures. card advantage is key
read the comment discussion and made some changes. also added glimmervoid because in tandem with opal, it make it easier to equip cranial plating at instant speel
Crap, never realized that, guess this idea isn't as good as I thought. What exactly is Xmage?
This is an interesting spin on the idea i had. lead the stampede is a great idea as well as mistcutter are great additions
Cool deck. I got a similar idea when I saw monument and built a similar one but monogreen. Since you are running red, why not legion loyaliste or other hyperagressive red haste cards?
Savant is good bacuse it is the only mana dork that can also make a solid attacker with the monument and force mage triggers if it is drawn later. Your notes on ram-gang made me add it in but I am also keeping timber mars and getting rid of rancor instead because it is a brick in more scenarios than I had hoped.
in general, you don't want many single copies but 4 copies of the most effective cards. you have so many low copy counts of so many seemingly random cards it is hard to tell what exactly the deck i supposed to do, and the small description doesn't help out much. also, in general you want to keep the total card count to 60 again for consistency. this thing looks like ti wants to be a tool box deck with no way to finding the right tools.
seems like an interesting deck. the one card that confuses me is perilous research. sure you can sac a flagstone but nearly half of the deck is non-permanent spells so it may be hard to reliably have targets you are willing to sacrifice for it.
wanted a good cantrip that wasn't manamorhose because i hate using it and then just having wasted floating mana if it drew me a land. this seemed like the best alternative that could cheaply thin the deck and
Considering you only have 1 card with an upkeep trigger and it is legendary, paradox haze may not be optimal. Since you are running blue, maybe run some of the spells that untap lands when resolved like rewind to piss of your opponents and untap. The curve is also a little slow for modern with no 1 drops and 2 drops that either aren't useful on their own or want to be cast later then turn 2. Maybe put in stuff like spell piece mana leak or remand to hold of your opponent until you reach your dust drinker or Augustine
Got any better ideas?
Aether Vail makes it easy to get the flicker wisp and strangler combo out much much faster which is why I have it, plus most of the creatures are 3 drops so it helps prevent counters from mana leak that would set the deck far behind. I am not sure if it is necessary but it has a few good uses and thus I decided to exclude it
Thanks for the advice, edits have been made
I know that, but as long as I have impact tremors or pruphoros out first I win. I wouldn't cast both parts of the infinite without an enter the battlefield trigger first
Thanks for the info, will edit the deck later
the idea was modern, because realistically it is very hard to make a new decktype in legacy or vintage but mondern is atleast mildly malleable. otherwise, would have been a brilliant addition.
