Hi all
this is my first Modern Deck, it is a net deck to get a feel for it then I will be making changes for more my style. I have posted this cos I would like to hear from some of the players that have played living end decks just to get a better idea of how to play it.

Thanks all for any time you can give :)

I'd play  {Spike Feeder} over brindle boar. Does the same thing but have additional effects

I would run 4 Beast within and only 7 cascade enablers. It is as consistent while also providing more reach against much more decks. You can even out a lot games with constant Beast Withins and still get away with 7 cascade cards.

A lot of good tips thanks all I will play around with it some more to get a better feel for it :) thanks again.

Deck update & tournament results:
So after getting all the cards together and making changes to the deck I took it to my first tournament, I placed 1st out of 37 players so very happy with the deck and how well I have gotten to know it. The decks & results were RW soul sisters 2-0, RG Tron 2-0, mono black 2-1 and last round Affinity 2-0.

I'd take out everything but your cycling and cascade things, so you can go off faster.

Ignore this, this isn't a insta win combo deck.
... Which is the only thing Taysby understands :P ;)

I'd say consider {Wound Reflection} and a side boarded {Havoc Festival} against White Weenie.

Those are both way too slow for modern, especially in a deck that doesn't want to play very many lands. Living End usually destroys white weenie, as does just about any board wiping deck

If anything, {Rain of Gore}.

I was joking around, don't be so serious, lighten up, take a chill pill, Call me in the morning, so on and so fourth :P

I play modern a lot but never Aggro, so I don't really know how fast this deck is. I was just speculating as to what could potentially help, ;)

I don't have your number. Just because you were joking doesn't mean I don't find it funny. Isn't that why you were joking around?

It is a pretty fast aggro deck, but it is more combo than aggro. Put a bunch of creatures into the graveyard, cast a card with Cascade and get Living End. It usually plays up to 8 Cascade Spells.

The reason why this deck is good is because of Fulminator Mage and the other land destruction creature. They are the best cards to make this deck tier 1.
