Not legal in Modern? What a fucking trash deck. You should check out THIS modern-legal deck instead.http://www.mtgvault.com/halostar/decks/overwhelming-enchantments/
I know you're probably going for budget, but Nykthos, the baller to nyx, is a land that you cannot regret putting in this deck, esp. since your mana cost is as high as afroman. This would make squelching leeches not as good, but it would give you more ability to play a creature like Abhorrent Overlord or Marshmist Titan, which plays into your devotion scheme.
Or I could always go the route of Evolving Wilds. I'm not worried about lifegain with my Eidolons, but I'll look into some non-budgeted lands if the deck plays well in actuality.
Thanks for all your input! I'll definitely be looking into everything you've said. As for the deck identity, it is definitely not aggro and it is all about the late game. The creatures are cheap because I want to have leftover mana to be able to play the enchantments early as well. The two win conditions of the late game are ethereal armor with the sphere(s) of safety. The spheres protect me from any combat damage, while I deliver big, life stealing, sometimes unblockable huge hits due to the sheer amount of enchantments and the hopeful presence of Infiltrator's Magemark. As for Aegis, many of the new enchantment creatures are not that good . I thought Aegis would be a good card to have against any deck at any time, mostly because I didn't find any of the enchantment creatures any better.I really should have some tutors in here... I'll see what I can do within budget.Thanks again!!
Great suggestions! I may very well end up adding Silent Sentinel to the main deck for that late game pressure.
The only critique I have is that with Alesha, you have four in the deck, but can only have one on the field at a time. Maybe remove one or two of them, and some more instants or sorceries that'll buff your Warriors. All in all, cool deck, a lot of good combos.
Pact of negation is a cool card and all, but it's also $20. Stick with your cancels and mana leaks? Unless you don't plan on buying.
Yep, that cleared it up. Awesome combo for sure!! Hope your friend used/uses it!
This is a technical question involving the effect of anvil and chains:At the end of chains, it says that it doesn't apply to the first card drawn by a player during the draw phase. Doesn't that mean they don't have to discard after you draw the first card? With chains in play this would make the net gain still +1 cards that turn.
I will retag it. I have added the Arbiter to my main deck and the Aura of Silence/Dissolve to my sideboard. Awesome suggestions!
Couple problems I see:Evolving wilds does not count as a spell, so having it here has almost zero use when you could just have drawn Mountains there instead. My advice would be to find another instant or sorcery to give you mana that adds to the effect of Storm.Your whole deck is so low-costing mana-wise that it almost makes having 4 locket of yesterdays unhelpful in a pinch. There are probably better low-costing cards if you're looking for kickers for Storm.
