I guess it's technically modern? It's my "casual" deck though. Never played it before, in the playtest mode currently. Rolled a 15 on d20. I can't tell you how good it is, as I don't really know. It's not awful though, probably mid high tier
I'll play. I'll start with my home brew, semi competitive modern deck, and get better or worse deck for game two if its a blowout either way. ;)
I roll a one.
Island, {Delver of Secrets}
20/5
Draw. {scalding tarn} crack for {stomping grounds} untapped. Cast {virulent sliver}. Pass.
17/5
UT, UK, reveal {Counterspell} and flip Delver
Island, attack for 3 and pass turn
20/5
Draw. {marsh flats} for a plains. {predatory sliver}. Attack for two and one poison. Pass
13/5
I'll {Mana Leak} the Predatory sliver. Attacking for 1 poison?
Yup. And one damage (virulent sliver is different than infect.
It's different?
UT, UK, draw
Island, attack for 3 and pass
20/4/1
Edit: Added the 1 Poison Counter
Yup. It doesn't have infect. Is has "poisonous 1". Difference is no -1/-1 counters, it always deals one poison regardless of power, it still deals its damage, and it stacks.
Draw. {striking sliver} response?
Ps I think you got this....my deck being limited to modern gapers it a bit...wish I could run {counter spell}. ;)
Yeah I'll {Counterspell} the Striking Sliver
Like I said, my deck is competitively made for Modern, but I'm running non legal Modern cards, but it would be a joke to say this was Legacy. It's in an awkward inbetween lol
Attack for 1 then pass?
Not quite. {sacred foundry} to cast {cautery sliver}. Then attack for one damage and one poison and pass.
8/3
Well, after this I'll switch to my unbeaten modern combo deck or my strong but untested aggro modern deck.
UT, UK, draw
Island and I'll {Ponder}, then {Vapor Snag} the C something sliver and attack for 3
20/2/1
I draw. Recast the cautery sliver. Response?
{Counterspell}
A second {virulent sliver}. Attack for one damage and two poison (since it stacks. I think to hat puts you at four poison?)
Pass
Four life.
Wait, how was there a real damage? Maybe I'm confused about how it works. It deals both damage and poison counters? Or is there a creature I'm not accounting for?
Read the text of {virulent sliver}. It deals damage like normal. And when it does, you get a poison counter. Now that I have two in play you get two poison counters.
Oh! Sorry, I've been writing my life totals wrong then, sorry about that
No problem. I doubt you will lose by life loss. Probably not poison either but its my only hope. ;).
Pass after that attack. I'm at four life
UT, UK, draw
Swing for 3 and pass
16?/3/3?
You have four poison. Attacked twice before and one this turn for double poison.
Draw. {cautery sliver}. Attack for two damage and four more poison. That's probably game though
I'll {Dissolve} the sliver
Yup. I still attack for the four poison, your at eight poison, but I'm at one life no fliers. GG.
I'll bring in my modern combo, modern aggro, or not modern legal, untested, combo deck.
