Modern - not my forte but like standard but just more money.


I disagree, modern is not like standard and it is not more money!

With the seemingly constant rotations in standard, it is a very expensive format to keep up with. In modern, once you finish your deck, you're done. Maybe add a new card here and there, but it doesn't take heavy hits from rotation, which is awesome.

The modern format is typically much quicker than standard as well, it's much more versatile and more worth your time and money!

The bigger card pool and extra room for creativity makes it pretty choice. =]

It is by far a superior format, but recently I have been enjoying Standard. In a couple months Modern will be calling my name though! Come sooner Modern Season!

I've grown fond of the Modern format, personally.  Doesn't change all the time!!

I've also found it smart when making an EDH deck to throw in a few legends of the same colour combination for a back up plan if you come across a deck that flaws the deck's tactic of the original commander.

For example, I have a {W}{B} deck that runs with {Teysa, Orzhov Scion} as commander, saccing creatures for various utility gains. But if I come across a {Sigarda, Host of Herons} deck for example, I swap Teysa out for {Obzedat, Ghost Council} (originally {Ghost Council of Orzhova}) to focus on the leeching of life aspect of the same deck.

So long story short, chuck another legendary in for a back up commander to change the theme of your deck.

That's a great idea!! I will take a gander at some of my legendaries and throw a deck together.

You guy are all very nice!! Thanks so much for your help!!

So, I threw a modern deck together today. The main components are megrim/Lilliana's caress and warped devotion. Then using big voice and discard cards to punish. Unfortunately, after play testing it, I've noticed how slow it is. Any suggestions on making it quicker?
