Do you have a pool of cards. When did you start playing?(what set/block)

For $200 I believe you can put together most of the deck besides the lands. The other expensive pieces are heirarchs (important) and spellskites (less so?). http://mtgtop8.com/event?e=11397&d=264689&f=MO

Ink moths are very important right now, as are the spellskites. There is way too much removal that just whiffs due to one of these two.

Well, let's first focus on improving this. {ornithopter} seems bad. We need more green pump spells. Maybe 4 {vines of vastwood} and a {become immense}?

Should I run another opulent then for mana btw you guys rock. Any other card ideas I have the above deck want to turn it to a bug deck down the road after I get the fetches and shocks what other small upgrades and side board should I get

Cut down the creatures to just the agent and the infect elf for now. Everything else should be interaction ({vines of the vastwood} and {spell pierce}). Your goal is to streamline into a consistent game plan. Also, your goal is to be FAST. Try to avoid tapped lands.

Sweet I got those otw stoked to try it out and expand. If u guys think of more keep it coming plus would it be smart to run a green white fetch and tap lands cause I got a few green white is to get out the one white card I have for Protection
Title: Re: Modern deck help for first deck
Post by: blackychan1 on January 29, 2016, 01:03:35 PM
I don't see a white cards in your list. But if you want protection, then {apostles blessing} is essentially colorless while we are on that, {gitaxian probe} will let you know when it's clear to go off and pump your creature to oblivion} also, {peldelhaven}

I bought apostles blessing and I'm running 1 green white fetch

If you are throwing in green, you should definitely run a playset of {Glistner Elve}s, they are nice 1 drops for turn one

Post by: Thetrufflehunter on January 30, 2016, 06:58:36 PM
I could not for he life of me remember the name of that csrd in my earlier post :P

Infect is base green, so yes, run {glistener elf} as a 4 of.
