Title: Idea: Modern Maze's End?
Post by: Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth on April 20, 2014, 02:03:51 AM
Okay, I am watching Mattias Hunt's deck tech again (the {Amulet of Vigor} deck from PT Born) and working on my Standard {Maze's End} deck and now I am thinking...could you apply the shell of {Amulet of Vigor} deck: {Primeval Titan}, {Amulet of Vigor}, {Azusa, Lost but Seeking}, {Summer Bloom}, {Sakura-Tribe Scout} ect. to make a modern {Maze's End} deck? I really want to explore this. Any help/feedback is nice. Here is a list I will be working with:

2 {Primeval Titan}
4 {Amulet of Vigor}
2 {Crackling Perimeter}
4 {Dawn Charm}
4 {Ethereal Haze}
3 {Explore}
4 {Fog}
4 {Isochron Scepter}
4 {Leyline of Sanctity}
4 {Sylvan Scrying}
2 {Azorius Guildgate}
2 {Boros Guildgate}
2 {Dimir Guildgate}
1 {Forest}
2 {Golgari Guildgate}
2 {Gruul Guildgate}
2 {Izzet Guildgate}
4 {Maze's End}
2 {Orzhov Guildgate}
2 {Rakdos Guildgate}
2 {Selesnya Guildgate}
2 {Simic Guildgate}

I want to find a way to fit in {Urban Evolution}, {Azusa, Lost but Seeking} and/or {Summer Bloom}

I have been looking around and a few more card ideas for the deck are {Wall of Blossoms} (to slow down aggro and of course, draw), {Oracle of Mul Daya}, {Crucible of Worlds} (sideboard, against land destruction), {Explore} and {Scapeshift} (sac extras that you have and search for the ones you don't have).

So no one has any ideas of feedback?

Why not crucible MB? Just scapeshift a few of the lands you have for ones you need with an Azusa and an amulet on the field, use the new lands to play crucible then bring back the lands you just sacced.

Run cards like scavenging ooze to present a threat and gain a bit of life.

I made a reaaally solid standard bant mazes end deck but i used one of each guildgate, theyre just too slow and not reliable unlessyouve got an amulet of vigor out. Id suggest a tfog mazes end with elixir of immortality or something similar for lands that get GYded
Thats how my approach went and i think it could be adopted to modern

Don't run one of each in standard. {Nightveil Specter}....

Well this was back before m14 and theros block when nightveil spectre was used a total of 0 times haha

Just letting you know how i ran it(pre nightveil spectre days i guess)

Of course i had a good amount of removal and fog effects so i was mostly safe, i only lost one match out of probably 15 or so i played(no more cuz each game was upwards of 40 minutes)

I feel like  {Kiora, the Crashing Wave} could fit rather well in this.
