It's also a good card to bring in vs UWR control/midrange as you use it for sphinx's rev and sometimes helix.

Feels like gifts in place of Dig may be a good choice(now that dig hit the chopping block.)

Too expensive and not strong enough for modern.

Stockpile was cool in theory, but too slow in test(for everyone who tryedit in modern)

I mean if BGx and twin are that common at your LGS I agree.
Skullcrack also helps with rhino;)

I would play it, but I honestly have only seen boggles and infect once... the guys that had them don't show up each week either.
Also they both have other decks.

yeah, smallpox is a bit different in legacy...

In modern out worst match ups are:
Affinity
Infect
Boggles
G/R tron

Basically fast starts are the hardest, yes they're managable, but still the worst match up.
Small pox is also kinda awkward vs any deck that plays vial...

Infect isn't nearly as bad as boggles due to bolt, lucky for me niether of those see much play at my LGS.(maybe 1 infect deck out of 30+)

My meta is:
Fish(50/50)
U-tron(50/50 match up)
1 R/G tron(10/90 match up :( )
PoD(R.I.P. was a 40/60 match up, angel pod was about 50/50. these 6 players I have no idea where they will go, I assume most will go B/Gx as it shares a lot of cards with PoD.)
Twin(easy)
UWR control and midrange (easy)
delver(easy)
storm(easy)
ad naus(easy)
Dredgevine(50/50 easier post board)
BGx(45/55 ish)
Affinity(only 1 player and he isn't the best)
Burn(easy post board)
Random other budget decks.


Any blue based deck or combo is an auto win.
Burn is also simple, 50/50 pre-board much better post.)

Smallpox is only good/ok when you run waste not.
Also if you're requesting to cut raven's crime you haven't played with it much...
It's a soft lock with dakmor and makes all those useless land draw late game have purpose.

Small pox just doesn't do enough until turn 3-4 which is where you want to be slamming a bridge/lilly.
It's a fine card, just in most match ups I would rather be doing something better.

I mean Twin was still a tier 2 deck without dig... I dont see why it wont be again.

Sadly it just gets destroyed by combo, tempo and control...
Caryatid as your only ramp is just bad... Rites is slow enough as is, not having a turn 1 play and just playing this or salvage turn two is bad...

-1 stray souls
-2 avenger
-1 cratorhoof

+4 birds,noble(better than elves, allows birds to attack and works decent with loltroll) or elves.(honestly I would remove caryatid altogether and...)

Mardu charm isnt good in modern, you would be better of just increasing helix to 4x and adding 2 more spells maybe 2x skullcrack?
also torpor orb isn't really worth the sideboard slot anymore without pod...
I know its good vs twin and a few other creatures in some midrange decks but BGx has decay,pulse and whatever else...

I would try to fit 2x sowing salts and up corrosion to 2x in the sideboard.
Tron will only get bigger now with the bans.

4 to the face for 3? that just doesn't seem good as a best mode.
I understand charms are good because they are versatility, but that doesn't make them all good. Boros charm shooting to the dome was fine and at a fraction of the mana cost... not to mention 2 other really relevant abilities.
All I am saying is there are much better cards to play... magma jet would be a good one as it helps set up your draws, that being said I would still leave in 1-2 charms just for shits.

I wouldn't call it good, I would call it fine.
it's more of a 1-2 of main deck, then bring in more vs midrange(even then its awkward as it doesn't hit stormbreath)
It is in no way a slam 4of and you will learn that fast.

I understand that, but having a card that only interacts with 1 other card in your deck is just bad.
The fact of the matter is more times than not its just going to eat a removal spell while its morphed, its the only almost playable morph card and you will be playing it in rug... there's no surprise.
I'm just trying to help you with how deck building works and optimizing your deck so it does just flop and look awkward.

Rattleclaw Mystic is bad and should be replaced with a far better card:
sylvan caryatid

Also Battlefield Thaumaturge is terrible in this list as you only have 1 spell that works with him...

I understand how the deck works lol.
I just feel that 1-1ing with removal spells that cost more than the creature its killing isn't value.
Charm is over priced removal.
