Hi all. So I've decided to make the move out of standard (still going to keep one deck for the odd FNM I go to) because its boring and 90% of cards devalue after two years. My question is is reanimator a good archetype for modern? Frites is the one standard deck im keeping because its a ton of fun to play, and I'd like to transition it into the modern format. What are some of the staples for that deck type if it is a good deck for this format? Thanks in advance.

Only 2 good choices for this kind of deck in modern atm.
First is to run Gift Ungiven for Iona / Elesh Norn / Unburial.
Second less effective is to try UB combo with Goryo's vengeance + Griselbrand / Emrakul.

All the other ideas seems to be too slow for actual modern metagame.

Modern is very fast paced and requires a good understanding of what to expect as in creature removal and counters.

I have an {Emrakul, the Aeons Torn} if you're interested. I'm really looking for Modern Fetches

I still don't know which route im going to take with this idea. And I've got no fetches 😪

Thanks for the insight guys!

I'v only made a few modern decks but the one that works real good is my vampire deck it has a lot to do with adding +1/+1 counters one creatures and I mean like 2-4 on one creature per attack that hit the oponent I'll post it in a bit

Remember Modern is a really fast format. As a combo deck you'll have to put something Winning the game on turn 3 or 4. After that all the other combo deck will alreaddy killed you.
Always keep that in your mind when you'll build your deck.
