Bloom Titan

[Codester1991]

Speck was more of a GP and Open Series personality, but is definitely part of the deck's resurgence.  There's no whiff of foul play for Cohen and Black who did well at the Pro Tour with the deck.  But as much as I love the deck, I'm still hard pressed to call it one of the 'best decks in modern'.  It's a gorgeous piece of deck crafting, but it's not the powerhouse people think it is.  That said, have a blast playing it!

As with any deck, I think it comes down to who's piloting it. Splinter twin is a power house but if you have someone who doesn't know how to control it falls apart, burns great but if you got someone wasting all the burn spells on creatures it falls apart, tokens are great but if you're not using hand disruption it falls apart, same with Abzan etc. bloom is an amazing deck and is top tier, but it just depends on who's piloting it

Removed {tendo ice bridge} and mainboarded a {Ghost Quarters} and made room for one extra sideboard spot which allowed me to thrown in a {choke} for the pesky control and twin decks

Why board out slaughter pact against twin??  Sure they can pay for it so it's hard to go for the hivemind kill, but it's a great way to let them think they can go for the combo, and when they do, BAM! Two for one.

Simply because I board in the swan songs and chokes to prevent it, pact of negation is a good card when I have mana available on board state or if the game drags out, when playin twin if I haven't titan'ed by t3 then they win t4 and if i don't have the mana needed as Well, paying that pact is useless. On top of that, if they're a safe player, they'll wait till they have free mana of their own and counter my pact anyways leaving me screwed either way. I'd rather lean towards a creature heavy/enchantment removal phase against them more than attempt to control spells which isn't what bloom Titan is exactly made for

Updated the mainboard. Sigarda wins games so I decided to take her off the bench and throw her in the game. Opened up a spot for an additional swan song.

I just got my foil sigarda in today.  I am think of mainboarding in my midrange abzan deck

Dude she is just too good. Every Jund match I've played against, if she hits the board, it's an insta-win.

Also, the second I find a foil Sigarda I am trading whatever to get her. She's a beauty.
