Deck Description

Death Cloud is a Modern deck that is often of the "Rock". Meaning its primary colors are Black and Green. B/G Death Cloud can also be mono black or splashed with White. Other possible color combinations come from bw The Rock Archatype most commonly used in Death Cloud is an older unloved cousin of Jund. Rock first became a serious threat in tournament play during Urza Block after being designed by Sol Malka. Rock has been played in many formats including Legacy, Modern and various times in Standard. Threw the formats its core idea is still the same. "Midrange Aggro Control" Death Cloud first became a serious threat during Mirrordin/Kamigawa (Type 2) Standard and came back into favor with the new Modern Format.

How to Play

Modern is an all out race. There are 2 main strategies to decks in modern. Race for a combo or race damage out quickly. Without a control/permission deck in the format a lot of matches comes down to who can deliver the most damage or create their win con. Death Cloud Rock stops both of those strategies with a familiar feel of Aggro along with the confidence of Control. Making it a Midranged monster to deal with. It picks at your opponent ensuring he/she can not establish field dominance while you work into a Aggro offensive or Garruk into a massive Death Cloud. Another reason to play Death Cloud Rock is the Meta. If they are not ready it there is very little stopping it already with its favorable match ups against RG Tron, Birthing Pod, Twin, and most combo decks. Much of this is because most Death Cloud decks main board 6-8 hand disruption cards in addition to Death Cloud and Liliana of the Veil. Death Cloud Rock can do quite well against Jund it the right meta.
