Deck Description

PROACTIVITY IS KING.

In Modern, people park their tanks on your lawn.
Everyone is bringing the most brutal clock, the most redundant combo, the most powerful interaction they can find; you do not have time to durdle around. Threats are strong and diverse, which means that answers tend to be comparatively weak and narrow. If you want to play Modern, make sure you are doing something which will bring the pain in some form or another.

I learned this because all my tricky, complicated, durdly decks got steamrolled by a squadron of hasty Deceiver Exarchs; or burned out by rapid-fire Lava Spikes; or had their perfect cheekbones ruined forever by a Tarmogoyf, in the alley behind a bar, where no-one could hear them scream.

What do you do when Modern beats you black and blue?
Add green – and kick it up a notch.

How to Play

WHY THIS STRATEGY?

There are a range of things in this format which frequently just kill you – Melira-pod combos, splintered twins, huge Goyfs and Oozes, even Pyromancer’s Ascensions and Goblin Electromancers in a roundabout way – but are vulnerable to an Abrupt Decay.
There is another spectrum of blue decks which will try to land a threat, like a Delver of Secrets or a Vendillion Clique and protect it with countermagic. Abrupt Decay cuts through those. The same decks will aim to stop opposing threats with countermagic too; luckily, we get to play Thrun, the Last Troll to gain inevitability against them.
In general, Green and Blue support a range of Modern’s most powerful cards – and we get to play them all. Cool, right?
