Cyclops is gonna get ya!

by jwish27 on 10 June 2013

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)

Creatures (1)


Sorceries (6)

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

My first attempt at a budget, yet competitive, Modern deck. Nivix Cyclops is one of my favorite cards out of Dragon's Maze, so I attempted to make a deck around it. If I can get a Cyclops on the field by turn three or four, I will have likely won the game by the time it can attack. I can make it unblockable via Artful Dodge or Apostle's Blessing, then just play as many instants and sorceries I can. Lightning Bolt just becomes a one mana 6 damage spell if played right. Nivmagus Elemental is just there if I can't get a Cyclops.

This was made out of my current collection of cards, obviously I would want 4 Steam Vents and 4 Sulfur Falls, maybe a couple Cascade Bluffs, but this is just what I currently own.

Any help with sideboard is greatly appreciated, I know very little about the Modern metagame.

Very good flavor. I like, particularly the 4 bolts.

Consider including at least a pair of flux chargers as insurance against a Slaughter Games (or similar) aimed at Cyclops.
