It's kind of funny to see this pop up in modern after it had just been in standard as mono blue and jeskai. Nice dude.

There are so many anti creature spells that it will be hard for Nettle Drone, the only win condition, to survive... Maybe adding some protection like Gods Willing in place of the Serum Visions...

Apostle's Blessing could be used to protect either the Drone or the Altar, w/o requiring splashing a third color...but there's also already more counter spells in the SB.

Good deck, but it requires a pretty specific combo. Also it mills a lot, but i don't see how it's infinite.

0

because if you give nettle drone the ability: "tap to return target nonland permanent to its owners hand" you can tap him to return ornithopter or darksteel relic to your own hand infinitely (because they're 0 cmc). Causes infinite ETB triggers for alter of the brood/nettle drone

0

I don't see why you don't see infinite. The combo can go off as many times as you want. There is no numerical value that can be placed on the combo. Only number that you may need to hit is 300, but I'm not sure how many if any, play battle of wits.

Altar of the Brood is on the field (mill one for each permanent that enters the field)
Nettle Drone with Retraction Helix is on the field (taps to return to hand, untaps on colorless spell cast)
- Cast colorless Ornithopter for 0 (Nettle Drone untaps on colorless spellcast, mill one card for Altar of the Brood)
- Tap Nettle Drone to activate Retraction Helix and send Ornithopter back to your hand
- Cast colorless Ornithopter for 0 (Nettle Drone untaps on colorless spellcast, mill one card for Altar of the Brood)
- Tap Nettle Drone to activate Retraction Helix and send Ornithopter back to your hand
- Cast colorless Ornithopter for 0 (Nettle Drone untaps on colorless spellcast, mill one card for Altar of the Brood)
- Tap Nettle Drone to activate Retraction Helix and send Ornithopter back to your hand
repeat untill opponent's library is empty

Sorry about the late response Daggerback. Clutch(at least the way in which I am using it) means drawing too much of uneeded cards(usually because you put to many of said cards in you deck but it can also happen due to bad luck).

Magic is an expensive hobby. Budget decks for standard are around 80-150, for modern they're closer to 300-500, and a budget legacy deck is 800-1200.

To play magic in a constructed format you have to be willing to spend a little bit of money, if you can't Magic just isn't the right fit for you. It sucks but that's just how it is.

0

I have to disagree with this. For me Magic isn't all that expensive, now yes, if you plan to play the same thing as the other 100 people you see playing major events it is, but i know more than a few people who can make decks with minimal costs ($15/$20) for standard and top events, and people that make modern decks costing maybe $75-$100 and doing just fine. Magic is a money game if you don't follow the only rule that was drilled into me, Get your play set of each land, and keep it. That alone drops the future cost of everything, just drafting and getting them that way is nice.

What Spike67 said was that it's pretty budget if you take Cascade Bluffs & Serum Visions out...at which point it's only about $20 on the midrange price. Also, it perhaps bears pointing out that Pauper, etc., are constructed formats. Add to that the number of people playing at the KT, & I think it's safe to say that Magic is for anyone who wants to play. And while I've never personally argued budget either way, I have seen some killer budget decks on this site.

Magic as a game can be for everyone, but to realistically compete in Modern (or any of the mainstay constructed format, which does not include pauper) requires an investment.

I want the game to be cheaper just like everyone else, but I also accept that, as my primary hobby, Magic is a luxury and as such requires a substantial sum to play competitively.

Since the deck cannot go infinite without nettle and either needs altar or nursery to kill I think that it might be better for the deck to go into RUG for ancient stirrings which will work well to get ALL the involved pieces. Add noxious revival to be able to really hold the combo together.

The nettle kills, you don't need Altar or Nursery to do the job.

0
Posted 26 October 2015 at 11:01

Either you tap the nettle to do damage OR to send the Ornithopter back to your hand. If you don't send the Ornithopter back, you cannot cast it again and untap the Nettle. So no, the Nettle does not kill. :-)

1
Posted 26 October 2015 at 11:18

Permalink

The Nettle is tapping in response to being targeted by either Retraction Helix or Banishing Knack to return either the 'Thopter or the Relic to hand so that it can then be recast, triggering the Alter &/or the Nursery while at the same time untapping the Nettle, repeat repeat repeat until your opponent is decked or dead. So you actually do require either the Altar or the Nursery.

1
Posted 26 October 2015 at 11:18

Permalink

That's not how that works. You cannot tap the nettle in response to tapping nettle for the enchantment's ability. The enchantment only targets the nettle when you cast it, but all of the activations returning the ornithopter require the nettle to be tapped, and you cannot tap it twice for two different activation costs.

-1
Posted 27 October 2015 at 00:02

Perhaps I didn't express myself clearly. You're targeting the Nettle w/ an instant that lets you tap the Nettle to return one of the artifacts to your hand. You re-cast the artifact (for 0); the casting triggers the Nursery, the artifact entering the BF triggers the altar & causes the Nettle to untap...at which point you repeat the sequence, as often as needed, to either deck your opponent w/ the Altar or kill them w/ the Nursery. You're not tapping the Nettle to deal direct damage in this sequence.

The deck is nice, a concept I like by the way, as it is somehow similar to the Duskmantle Guildmage+Mindcranck combo that I still play. Compared to it, it's more mana-effective (once you have the cards in place you only need one blue mana to start the combo, and you could technically play the whole game with 1 Island, 1 Mountain and 1 generic land and still be fine), but probably harder to pull. You need a 5/6-card combo (nettle + 0-mana artifact +helix or knack + altar and/or nursery), the combo can be stopped by either killing the Nettle or destroying the Altar/Nursery (which is why you should have both, so losing one doesn't matter even mid-combo) and there aren't many counters to prevent this. Also, you can transmute for the nettle or nursery, but there is nothing to help you find the altar and the Thopter/Relic. And you can't play the Nettle and start the combo in the same turn, so you need to protect it well.
Very good budget-wise, you could replace Serum Visions with Anticipate (needs more mana, but at least you have a saying in which card you draw, instead of drawing first and scrying later) and Cascade Bluffs with another mana source and get the whole deck for under $20 probably.

Ancient stirrings can find whatever, which is why I suggested splashing green.
I wonder if it Would be possible to build a mantlecrank/nettle hybrid ???

By the way, has anyone else thought of putting it within a splintertwin shell?

Maybe I am mistaken, but as far as I know Ancient Stirring can only find something as long as it is among the first 5 cards on top of your deck. And you have to hope that you don't have ALL the cards you need in those 5, because you are putting 4 on the bottom of your deck in that moment and regret it for the rest of the game ^_^; I'd rather use Ponder instead, you see less cards, but you don't actually have to put any of them out of reach, and you don't need a third color. Or even Taigam's Scheming (no draw, but you can order those 5 cards the way you want and get rid of any you really don't need, still without a third color).
As for hybridation with duskmantle mage/mindcranck... I don't know, the nettle might be a good trigger for the combo, but you'd have to splash red just for that when there are so many others that work well with BU. Aside from that, I wouldn't know how to merge theme effectively

Ponder, or Index work well too. GP in the side board helps with draw, and to see what your opponent has so you can prepare for it as well.

I really hate to be this guy, but Deceiver Exarch + Twin. I mean, I love these fringe combo decks like this that sometimes work, but when you really come down to it, the best 2 card kill in modern in UR is twin.... People are all over this deck like its a new breakthrough.... I dunno, I hate twin for that, but I've come to terms twin being the combo if your going to play something like this.
On a completely different note, cool combo!

Uhm? How? Jeskai Ascendancy would not help untapping the Nettle (meaning that it would already untap by itself without it), and an artifact land wouldn't actually trigger anything

Remember to tell people WHY it wont work :D

Actually, that's NOT the point :-) Even if it worked on lands, playing a land does not trigger any of the effects, Lands are not spells, and both the Nettle and the Nursery are triggered by casting colorless spells.
Also, even if you could send the land back to hand, you could play it again once (at best).

Well, yes, a land would trigger the altar once, it doesn't even need to be an artifact land for that, but that doesn't have much to do with Jeskai Ascendancy, does it? :-?

0
Posted 27 October 2015 at 10:33

Permalink

Jeskai Ascendancy would actually work, so long as the permanent being returned/recast was the Relic. Of course, Nettle doesn't need Ascendancy to untap...but maybe Spartan's point was that it would provide other options...? As for the artifact land, I confess, that part lost me.

molten nursery is bad in this deck as it costs to much, also, you don't need the drift of phantasms

0
Posted 27 October 2015 at 11:41

Maybe replace the Relic instead. Ornithopter is still a blocker in case of need, Relic does nothing. Sure, Relic cannot be destroyed, but you're not really afraid of it being destroyed, because you can return it to your hand in response (unless you played it without setting the combo first but... why would you?)
The Phantasm is needed to search for the Nettle and/or Nursery (which is needed for the deck to work since it's where the infinite damage comes from, unless there are other cards that do damage when a colorless spell is cast... and anyway, 3 is too much?)

0
Posted 27 October 2015 at 11:45

Spellfist would work w/ Ascendancy & any 0-cost, non-creature artifact, in which case you could just attack w/ it for unblockable lethal (eliminating the need for Molten Nursery). Agree that 3 isn't too much. And along w/ tutoring, Drift of Phantasms can also be cast to provide a blocker, though you'd probably rather not.

Elusive Spellfist can be killed, though. The Nettle too, of course, and so the Nursery, but an enchantment is usually harder tp destroy than a creature, while killing Spellfist & Nettle with a single spell wouldn't be too hard.

Came across KJ's deck just w/i the last hour; he used Zephyr Scribe where this deck uses Nettle (it has the same "whenever you cast a noncreature spell, untap" ability) & Spidersilk Net as the 0-cost artifact, using the combo to buff Spellfist. So basically, KJ was doing this already when it was in Standard, but as he said, in mono-U.

The altar enables you to kill through mill if they have a leyline of sanctity.
Phantasms can block or let you search for combo.
Personally I'd cut 2-3 ornithopters.

How about thinking down the lines of hurkyll's recall, and include more artisfacts?

The reason for including a sentinel of kozelek or an elusive spellfist is to take down the opponent through damage, better than molten nursery, and also has a better casting cost, and can be regenerated w/herbal poutice.

No...When KJSJ3 said "what is mill," he was directing that at wickeddarkman, AKA King Mill...like how wdm asked spike67 "who are you" as a joke.

Yes it works. It has an issue with mono red, but the dispels in the side board help out a lot with Controlling the burn. Print off a proxy and give it a try. You'll find the the combo hits, and is effective enough to make it a playable deck.

SPIKE67:
I think the thing JOHN721 is asking is, has the deck seen actual competitive play against real modern decks and won more than half of what it meets :D
I doubt that it's that good, because ANY instant removal can kill the combo by letting the ability granted by a knack or helix go to the stack, and while it hovers there they target sentinel and the removal resolves before the ability hits sentinel. Anyone splashing white (path), black (dismember) or red (random burn) will very likely be able to stop this deck. Even green and blue has the chance to stop it through arti-hatred or counterspells.

JOHN721:
The decks that are liked generally tend to be new discoveries, not necessarily new powerfull decks.

This is an amazing deck, but just a bit expensive. My suggestion: cut cascade bluffs, and lightning bolt. That'll bring the cost down a lot. Other then that, great deck! +1!

I love the idea of this deck, I've tried to create my own version. I ended up splashing white to use Midnight Guard as an extra Nettle Drone.

Sorry if this has been said....but what about swapping the following playsets:
*Out:
4x darksteel relic
4x molten nursery

*In:
4x Impact Tremors
4x Memnite

Ie change "cast a colorless spell" for "creature enters the battlefield" for your damage trigger....

Tremors is 1 less mana, and you have more than the 8 zero-drops as bullets (though probably not looping bullets...)

I really like this brew a lot. The thing that concerns me the most, though, is that nettle drone just dies to everything. Would it be worth running dispel in the main for lightning bolts? That seems like a really tough thing to beat. That, and something out of the board for abrupt decay. I like spellskite for that. The only other thing I have a question about is the cascade bluffs. Are they super relevant or could they be subbed out with shocks or pains or something?

A few have highlighted pact of negation just for this reason.
You can play the nettle, then during your upkeep you kill with knack/helix.

As for the filter lands, no one's really paid much attention to the mana-base (I suppose because we've all been so focused on the combo), but now that you mention it, the one given isn't exactly the most practical. It may be that using filter lands & basics was less expensive (although Bluffs isn't exactly cheap), but a more traditional base would probably be more effective.

Mana Leak could be either Spell Pierce or Dispel accomplishing the same goal, Lightning Bolt doesn't seem very useful, and could be replaced by the Memnites for more consistency. I'm sure there are other types of Nettle Drone too. The problem with the infinite damage, is you must have two Nettle Drones (or Molten Nursery) in play, which makes this even harder to do. Rather than Drift of Phantasms, something like Izzet Charm might be better, because it fills multiple rolls.

2 Lightningbolts (Or one bolt, molten nursery and an ornithopter) can be used to kill a spellskite. Since a hell of a lot of decktypes in modern has spellskite in main or board, the lightnings will be good to hold onto for that. Spellskite will disrupt this deck very easy if allowed to remain in play.

Izzet charm might be better than phantsms, mainly because it is cheaper, but the search it provides is really weak, so if the defence can hold long enough phantasm might be better to get to the win-con.

This is an amazing deck! But do you know what would make it even more impressive? Having it be a budget deck! If you cut Serum Vision & Cascade Bluffs, it'll be $18! That's nothing. I bet this deck could beat any $20 deck, and a lot of more expensive one. Add something like divination, or another draw that's not $30. But, if you want, keep it. That'll bring your deck up to around $50. I can deal with that. But my problem is Cascade Bluffs. It's amazing. But, $80 out of your possible $20 deck? That's not good. I feel like it would be a little less powerful without Cascade Bluffs, but the benefit of having an almost exact deck for a 1/4 of the price is worth it to me. I'm personally a mtg vaulter who wants to acutely buy these decks, not just look at them. And, if cutting the price by 1/4, and only having a small decrease in efficiency, I'd be totally in.

Again, your call, but that's how I feel.

Have you ever thought about adding some Ancient Grudges or Spellskites to the sideboard? Grudge destroys Pithing Needles which shut down the combo and Spellskite helps to protect your Nettle Drone.
Also, Tolaria West may be a good addition in the maindeck as it will allow you to transmute for one of the 0 cost artifacts the combo needs.
A set of Tarns may be good as well since they can help you thin out your deck and get to the combo pieces faster.

grudge is cool, spelskites take up places in enough of my modern already, is there a deck it doesn't fit into? besides it cost 30 bucks 5 or 6 is all i can afford.

0

It can certainly find a place in pretty much all modern decks I think, besides storm maybe. There are always alternatives to Spellskite, such as Apostle's Blessing. The only thing about playing grudge is that you'll probably want a one of Breeding Pool and/or Stomping Ground in the maindeck for the flashback cost.
