Deck Description

I was wondering what to play tonight (26 Sep 2014) as we're playing Modern. Then I realised my favourite pauper deck is modern legal :D But while thinking about it, I decided to try modifying it a bit and this is what I've got so far.

I want to try work in at least some of the Ready // Willing into the main deck. It could help get more casts of Sprout Swarm in one turn.

"Original" pauper version:

How to Play

Infinite Combo:
Midnight Guard + Presence of Gond = infinite 1/1 elf warrior
tokens.

Support / Substitute cards:
Devoted Druid + Sigil of the Nayan Gods can substitute for Midnight Guard.
Essence and Soul Warden to get to infinite life.
Commune With the Gods to help search for combo pieces.

Other combo:
Sprout Swarm + untap creatures.
Both Midnight Guard and Nettle Sentinel (and the Devoted + Sigil mini combo) help get multiple casts of Sprout Swarm per turn.

Birds + Sigil = big flyer :P

Deck discussion for Midnight Gond (Modern)

I don't get how the Sprout Swarm combo works. It seams like you would only get one token out, unless you paid the buyback cost, which would be hard to do multiple times. I don't think you can use convoke to pay the buyback cost, but even then, you would need 5 untapping creatures to pull it off.

Convoke does allow you to pay for the buyback extra cost. You only need 4 untapping creatures to go infinite and 1 other creature for the first cost, for the rest of the infinite casts, you tap the Saproling the previous cast put out.

Sadly, I've yet to have 4 untapping creatures, but just having 1 or 2 out allow for many more casts.
