Modern Magma Rack(Competitive)

by dknight27 on 06 December 2021

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 Description

An attempt in modern to duplicate the effects of 8 rack with a splash of red to take advantage of a few tasty red effects.

Namely, Kroxa and Skelemental, both of which have burn and discard effects and generate card advantage. Skelemental in particular could be a killer in a build like this, as 6 life is around 30% of opponents life which is a hell of a chunk to take in one go if everyone's out of ammo, which this deck should be able to achieve.

The rest of the deck does what 8 rack does, discard off all of opponent's material then punish him for it.

Just a twist on an existing idea in modern, thoughts appreciated.

Deck discussion for Modern Magma Rack(Competitive)

Man, 21 lands with 2 Smallpox and 3 Urza's Saga with intentions of hitting 3 drops on curve seems like a whole new level of living dangerously.

I've been pondering that, the 23 1-drops skewed my vision. Cutting one Skelemental in favor of another Blood Crypt might go a long way to fixing the problem.

As much as I love playing Smallpox in any deck that can support it (and many that can't xD) I do think this works better without it. In some metagames Fatal Push might be worse than pox though.

Anyway, the thing that I find interesting now is how good Wrench Mind is in a deck with Lightning Skelemental and Kroxas. What I mean is that, you want to get your opponent down to a low hand size ASAP, faster than regular Rack does, but you also want a payoff once there, hence maybe fewer Wrench Minds and more Shrieking Afflictions?
