Quote from: New2MTG on February 16, 2014, 10:59:24 PMDo you know how competitive your meta is? If you're new to modern, I'd recommend merfolk.
The have a modern Mondays night near me and I was hoping this be ok , I'm open to help here to
Quote from: New2MTG on February 16, 2014, 10:59:24 PMWell then, let's see what we can do! Are you willing to sink money into this deck? How much? Do you want to stick with simic? If you want to start a modern deck that's really cheap, there are a few budget red deck wins floating around the interwebs.

Quote from: Sparkle Ninja on February 16, 2014, 11:03:52 PMMerfolk > humans
I'd recommend humans over Merfolk. But I really love humans so my opinion is biased
Quote from: Sparkle Ninja on February 16, 2014, 11:03:52 PMHumans is in no way a competitive modern deck.

Quote from: Sparkle Ninja on February 16, 2014, 11:15:51 PMEasily edged out by most semi competitive and competitive decks.. Sorry. I'm sure it's a blast to play, but.. Yeah.
Look at my human deck... Its been going really well
Quote from: Sparkle Ninja on February 16, 2014, 11:15:51 PMWould you like to wall game to see how it compares to a tier 1 deck? It seems to me that it is a casual deck doing well in a casual meta, but I'd be happy to play you to see who's right.

Quote from: DylanW18 on February 16, 2014, 11:24:10 PMYeah sorry, that came off more rudely than I meant it to. It's really hard to grasp the jump to competitive magic without seeing how competitive decks steamroll most other decks, though.Quote from: abstractApathist on February 16, 2014, 11:21:27 PMQuote from: Sparkle Ninja on February 16, 2014, 11:15:51 PMWould you like to wall game to see how it compares to a tier 1 deck?

A bit harsh, but Abstract is right, the Human deck is good in a casual meta, and I think that deck has a place there. It's not that your deck is bad, it's that Modern Tier 1 is so good
Quote from: New2MTG on February 16, 2014, 11:33:50 PMThat's a good way to build casual decks, and if your meta is laid back enough that you can get away with casual magic in tournaments, all power to you.
I would like to point out that this build was all me , had no one look at it.
I used a deck from tcgplayer.com as a guide by mana cost for creatures and such

With a few changes, you could make this standard.
Quote from: New2MTG on February 16, 2014, 11:50:20 PMI can't tell you about standard, but if you want to make it modern viable I'd make it mono-U merfolk with playsets of {Æther Vial}s, {Vapor Snag}, {Spreading Seas}, {Lord of Atlantis}, {Master of the Pearl Trident}, {Master of Waves}, and {Silvergill Adept}.
What cards would you change? To make it modern or better as standard ?
I'm all ears

Quote from: New2MTG on February 17, 2014, 12:02:26 AMThe only cards this list has which overlap with modern merfolk are islands... :(Quote from: abstractApathist on February 16, 2014, 11:54:22 PMQuote from: New2MTG on February 16, 2014, 11:50:20 PMI can't tell you about standard, but if you want to make it modern viable I'd make it mono-U merfolk with playsets of {Æther Vial}s, {Vapor Snag}, {Spreading Seas}, {Lord of Atlantis}, {Master of the Pearl Trident}, {Master of Waves}, and {Silvergill Adept}.

Quote from: Sparkle Ninja on February 17, 2014, 09:17:08 PMIt may do well in your meta, but if your deck cannot consistently win, destroy half your opponent's lands, and/ or answer every spell your opponent casts by turn 4, it is not competitive.
I see what you mean but it has been performing really nicely against mostly every deck I've played. I usually turn 1 champion of the parish and play more creatures every turn.In the end I tend to win with thirty some creatures on the field and just trample over everything with my swarm
