MonoU Devotion Modern

by Xerohero on 09 July 2015

Main Deck (61 cards)

Sideboard (13 cards)

Creatures (4)


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

Trying to convert my current old mono u devotion deck to take on modern here are the card descriptions:

The one drops:
Judge's Familiar: Flying and a built in counter if they tap out why not plus I got the fnm promo foils!

Hypnotic Siren: Early flyer late game thief

Telepathy: why look at you hand once when you can just show me it all the time never seen this card I like it! REPLACED THIS WITH GITAXIAN PROBE BETTER CARD AND CARD DRAW
The Twos:
Declaration of naught: adds devotion, combo with GITAXIAN to have a counter up for a critical card coming out. Think if you got all four out crazy!

Grimoire Theif: Exile cards with her then counter with the sac, I like it!

Cyclonic rift: Mighty board you got over there how bout you pick it all up.

Threes:

Hall of triumph: Master of wave gets killed that ok we got ya

Nightviel Specter: Sweet card let me take your stuff and play it plus got the fnm promo cards (WHICH SUCKS AS A FOIL VERY DARK YOU CAN BARLEY SEE THE CARD)

Thassa: Sick indestructible God can make that last guy get through unblocked

Four and More:

Master of waves: Let the tokens fly

Bident: More cards please

Cleaver impersonator: Another way to get the best creature or double up on the waves

Obelisk of urd: Convoke it in for more counters



How to Play

Any suggestions always welcomed. The deck plays like a beast! I need to get the sideboard cards but really want to try this one in a tournament.

Deck discussion for MonoU Devotion Modern

Hope this gets some looks I think it has some promise. Although going the blue route may be better with blue merfolk, but that deck is stupid exspensive!

Honestly, you need some counter spells. Remove Wingrafters, two Hypnotic Sirens, and Teferi (You are not that likely to see him any time you actually need him anyway as a 1-of) and add a playset of Mana Leak and three Spell Snare (or Dissipate). The idea is interresting though.

A counter shell is probably the best way to go with blue devotion, since you have to keep you permanents from getting killed or else you cannot trigger devotion on Thassa. The best way to avoid that is to counter the kill spells.

Found a better combo that adds devotion and let me know what's coming and what deck they have! Telepathy and declaration of naught think this will work wonders!

It is interresting, at least for game 1. In game 2 and 3 you should sideboard telepathy out for hard counters though. Since you know what to declare. I am not sure I like prodigy though, I would rather have Daring Apprentice, he doesn't cost mana twice.

Gitaxian probe could be a good call card draw and the option to pay life then won't have to side it out game 2 and 3

added Grimoire Thief fits the exile theme with nightveil specter and counts as another counter creature, waiting for the cards to come to play test.

I have to agree with some of the comments already made. Since you have access to blue, you will need some counterspells to slow down your opponent while you stabilize. Mana Leak, Negate, Spell Pierce, etc. - pretty much everything that's already been mentioned. - especially because you can be sure green-based decks will sideboard in Choke and if you don't have Declaration of Naught out already, it'll wreck you. Nice deck overall! =)

Thanks for the comment, I do have 4 counters with Judge's Familiar and 4 more with declaration of naught, both of which add devotion. The problem I am finding with hard counters is they add no devotion and take up room in the deck that is needed to pop off. Not sure what to remove to get in more counters without hurting the devotion mechanic of the deck.

switching the deck up to try a wizard theme. With all the ability the added wizards have I dont need to waste slots for counter spells since they are built into the creatures. Will play test and let you know
