Deck Description

This is my Modern deck. I can't afford Tarmogoyf, so Fleecemane Lion is taking its place. Seems to work really well, but I could use some tips if you've got them (Especially concerning Sideboard.).

Wild Nacatl no longer banned as of 2/7/14

12/05/12 Wild Nacatl replaced with Kird Ape

03/11/14 Kird Ape replaced with Wild Nacatl
Ethersworn Canonist replaced with Torpor Orb

06/02/14 Tribal Flames replaced with Boros Charm
Changed the land base
Changed some sideboard cards

Thanks, man. This is my first attempt, and I haven't done any modern tournaments, yet, so I don't know what to expect.

This looks like a good zoo deck. I assume that the reason for watchwolf over tarmogoyf is budget, if not then i would definatly add tarmogoyf. I would swap the shocks with lightning helix, since a little lifegain with all your shocklands should be good.
But overall ill say it looks like a good deck

I've been running both, as you can see from the decklist. And as for the Tarmogoyfs, yeah. I'm trying to build a cheap Zoo deck. One that I can afford. Thanks for the compliments.

Wasn't sure if this was a Budget Legacy Zoo or not till I read the title.

Yeah. The lack of turmogoyfs cuts about $400 from the price.

Tell me about it, but no matter what Zoo should always wind up cheaper than Reanimator. Which saddens me, because that's what I play.

Beats Vintage prices though, I think a NobleFish deck costs about twice as much as my Reanimator right about now...

I dunno, that's just the face I use for stuff like this lol. It was either that or the balloon guy, and I didn't think it was that severe.

Dude, wild nacatl is banned in modern. Looks like a good deck though. In its place I would add some kird apes.

@ ybot: I think he knows that it is no longer legal. He wrote it in the deck description;)
@ GideonvSorin: Strong and solid deck! may add Woolly Thoctar! it would be a strong supplement.

check out my new Self Land Sacrifice deck and tell me how you like it. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=405616

I would remove Wild Nacati for Bloodbraid Elf.
Looks like a solid deck.
Good luck.

I liked the kird ape suggestion deathtyrant made. Kept the management curve low.
