Eggs isn't really a "Break into modern" deck... It would generally be considered expert level.

Expert level lol I have been borrowing my LGS owner's and taught myself then looked up the price. Pretty budget. I kinda have a knack for teacging myself how to play combo drcks. Taught myself how to play high tide, then taught myself how to play TES, and made my own homemade Prosperous Bloom deck. Eggs is almost as easy as high tide.

Ah, cool if you're familiar with it. It's not terribly expensive either which is a good thing. For trading though I would recommend listing specific cards you need.

Eggs...a terrible deck for the format. Not that it is terrible in that it cant win, but it makes the game boring as hell and matches take wayyyyyyy too long. Most judges hate the deck and hope wizards bans something from it soon.

I dont care what they ban but it should be done. I get why some people like the deck but Magic, while competitive, is supposed to be fun as well. Eggs does nothing but destroy the fun factor of the game while someone has to sit there and watch the other player go off on their combo for ungodly long periods of time...and forget about it if they arent a good combo player. Might as well take a nap and tell them to wake you up when they are done.

Decks like Eggs are the bane of Magic imo.

Jeez...  watching Stanislav Cifka play a second breakfast or eggs or whatever deck was incredibly painful.  1 turn = 15 minutes just to draw, bring everything back, draw, repeat a hundred thousand times, then pass the turn.  It doesn't seem like a deck that is horrible in the sense that it'll lose a lot, but it is definitely a slower deck.

Being the best can come in many deck forms, but out of respect of other players you shouldnt be a dirtbag and play decks where it takes extended periods of time (i'm being generous here) for every turn.
