What Format Is This???

[DylanW18]

Look at my human deck... Its been going really well

Would you like to wall game to see how it compares to a tier 1 deck? It seems to me that it is a casual deck doing well in a casual meta, but I'd be happy to play you to see who's right.

A bit harsh, but Abstract is right, the Human deck is good in a casual meta, and I think that deck has a place there. It's not that your deck is bad, it's that Modern Tier 1 is so good

I would like to point out that this build was all me , had no one look at it.

I used a deck from tcgplayer.com as a guide by mana cost for creatures and such

Yeah sorry, that came off more rudely than I meant it to. It's really hard to grasp the jump to competitive magic without seeing how competitive decks steamroll most other decks, though.

That's a good way to build casual decks, and if your meta is laid back enough that you can get away with casual magic in tournaments, all power to you.

What cards would you change? To make it modern or better as standard ?

I'm all hears

[TheRedRabble]

With a few changes, you could make this standard.

I'm all ears

I can't tell you about standard, but if you want to make it modern viable I'd make it mono-U merfolk with playsets of {Æther Vial}s, {Vapor Snag}, {Spreading Seas}, {Lord of Atlantis}, {Master of the Pearl Trident}, {Master of Waves}, and {Silvergill Adept}.

Thanks would it be possable for you tell what ones to replace and quantity to get so I can make a list up😀

[TheRedRabble]

Anymore ideas guys and gals on improving this deck

The only cards this list has which overlap with modern merfolk are islands...

I see what you mean but it has been performing really nicely against mostly every deck I've played. I usually turn 1 champion of the parish and play more creatures every turn.In the end I tend to win with thirty some creatures on the field and just trample over everything with my swarm

It may do well in your meta, but if your deck cannot consistently win, destroy half your opponent's lands, and/ or answer every spell your opponent casts by turn 4, it is not competitive.

I'm absolutely with Abstract on this. Basically, if you're deck is not $500+, it probably isn't competitive. Affinity, Merfolk, and RDW are about the only decks that come to mind that trump that. If you plan on playin anything blue, expect to buy 2-4 {Cryptic Command}s, {Remand}s, and {Snapcaster Mage}. If you plan on playing more than one color, expect to buy at least six fetch lands ({Misty Rainforest}, {Scalding Tarn}, etc.)  That being said, modern is my favorite format by far. Once you get those expensive playsets, you don't really ever have a reason to get rid of then or buy more. Look up Top8 decklists and get a feel for competitive modern. It'll help in the long run!
