I'm interested in getting into modern but since its such a large format compared to standard I have no idea where to start! I've found a couple of articles that talk about key/commonly used cards and the main deck archetypes and I'm liking how diverse it looks (though it does seem rather complex).

So if anyone has any ideas for a good beginner deck/archetype or if you just want to talk about your favourite deck/archetype feel free to comment!

I made an {Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite} deck just because I love Elesh Norn. But all of my decks usually have a theme/are tribals. So I may not be very much help with competitive Modern.

LadyGrixis

Well I straight up bought her because I LOVE her. Elesh is my jam....creepy and classy.

Combo decks are fun. Maybe try Eggs!!!!

I thought eggs were banned. Or most of them anyway.

Affinity, Infect or Melira Pod...:) first two are quite boring...:) so straightforward decks but Pod is fun...;)

Fish are fun. And sorta budgety.

 I recommend u/r  {Splinter Twin} combo. It doesn't break the bank the way Kiki or Melira pod do, and it's just as fun and easier to pilot.

U/R is one of my favourite colour combos so I'll give that a look for sure

{Kiki-jiki mirror breaker} {scalding tarn} {steam vents} {sulfur falls} the blue red old rav land that taps for any combination of red or blue, don't break the bank?

Please, I said less than pod decks. If you want a competitive level modern deck, it's not going to cost pennies.
