Title: Want some modern
Post by: MisterJH on March 09, 2014, 09:55:51 PM
Is there a place i can go to see a list of all the cool modern decks, similar to Taysby's ultra handy tier 1 standard list of decks? Im officially done with standard save for drafts, i need an eternal format please and thank you. Also if anyone wishes to list them in this rather than refer me somewhere else thats cool too. Im looking for mono or dual color decks though to limit the amount of fetches i have to build up to, as i kind of like having a savings account

If you want something cheap and fun as a good start try my blue white turn five win deck underneath the Modern section. It's cheap and tends to work pretty well

I think he may be referring to actual lists.

Id like some archetypes and yes some lists, just to get a feel for how modern works. I dont netdeck but i do need to see how modern runs, the archetypes,removal, how to balance decks etc

If anyone would like to mentor me personally or even just talk about modern to/with me, feel free :) im very interested in making my very own unique modern deck that can hold its own, its the one thing i love about mtg besides drafting

Try mine if youre looking for a good introduction to Modern.
Its only like 30 bucks and it tends to work well. I don't really know what an archetype is but My deck is aggro to the core

Aggro for example is an archetype, i guess the best i can explain it is kind of a theme? For example control, aggro, midrange.. But of course i dont want that as an answer so that may be the wrong word. Im looking more for somethin along the lines of:

Mono-{W}, aggro, (insert deck title here)

Or somethin, itd be very appreciated. Id love to own a deck thatll be worth more than $5 in a year

It has Thalia {Guardian of Thraben} in it so I can only expect it to get more expensive

I checked the wall game and it looks super fun and racey but also quite fragile

It's fragile yes but it tends to bounce back rather quickly

If you just want to read about a bunch of different modern decks the MTG Salvation modern forum has a bunch of primers for pretty much all the decks.

If you're looking for competitive lists, then check out Top 8 (http://www.mtgtop8.com). I'm not sure, but they may have less competitive lists as well.
