It's kinda a weird curve to do it with the menace though, unless you ramp into it. It needs 2 black quickly, plus some ramp and fixing. If you run something like shocklands, llanowar, and visionary, you could, theoretically, get a turn 2 corpsejack and turn 3 desecration demon with rancor. | ||

If you want to combo stuff, make sure it's either immediately lethal or it doesn't rely on multiple vulnerable 4 mana creatures. Otherwise play efficient creatures and make sure you have a solid curve. That usually means that way over half your creatures cost less than 4 mana. Combat tricks also should not be played in large quantities because it opens yourself up to get 2-for-1'd easily (Ultimate Price or Selesnya Charm on Demon as you cast Burst of Strength?). At least Village Bell-Ringer is a good blocker that acts as a combat trick and can occasionally cause huge blowouts in creature vs creature mirrors. Restoration Angel is obviously there too. Also: Try Heartless Summoning with Desecration Demon and Bell Ringer (and as few noncreature spells as possible). That way you can play Desecration Demon on turn 3 with mana for Bell Ringer up. | ||

I think I'll play test this a bit in my current black heavy Jund mash up. | ||

Honestly, cheap agro seems like the most interesting it's been in a while. mono R, RB, RG and RW all seem at least somewhat viable and give you a lot of options. | ||

4 Overgrown Tomb 4 Woodland Cemetery 4 Cavern of Souls 2 Golgari Guildgate 8 Swamp 4 Gravecrawler 4 Slitherhead 4 Diregraf Ghoul 4 Lotleth Troll 3 Geralf's Messenger ? Vampire Nighthawk 4 Corpsejack Menace 4 Dreg Mangler ? Abrupt Decay ?? Unknown Cards The deck mainly runs off the pure synergy of Zombies, but it adds green for some interesting combos. For example, Lotleth Troll can gain 2 +1/+1 counters off Slitherhead by discarding it and then exiling it to Scavenge. Corpsejack Menace T4 into scavenging a Dreg Mangler on T5 can potentially win you the game right there if unblocked. It's not Tier 1, but as I said, I was able to 4-0 FNM with it, and I was quite surprised by how powerful it turned out to be. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + 4x Student of Warfare 4x War Falcon 4x Knight of Meadowgrain 4x Knight of Glory 4x Knight Exemplar 4x Mirran Crusader 4x Hero of Bladehold 4x Kinsbaile Cavalier 4x Honor of the Pure 4x Path to Exile 4x Arid Mesa 4x Marsh Flats 12x Plains (Sub the fetches for Plains for budget version) Sideboard 4x Torpor Orb 3x Rest in Peace 4x Cavern of Souls 4x Leyline of Sanctity Can easily kill T4-T5 with the right draws, is quite cheap for modern (especially if you just play straight Plains over the fetches) and beats most creature decks straight up while having sideboard hate for pretty much everything in the format. I'm not gonna say stuff like "Oh, it's Jund matchup is good" or anything. It's a fun list for a modern FNM or something, I haven't tested it outside of a bunch of sample hands | ||

My first couple drafts I played grindy decks and timed out at least 2 matches. The hotkeys really help though. F2 presses "ok" and F6 yields your entire turn (very nice for first couple turns or if you need to save time). | ||

Wow 95% of people are just forcing Boros to a point it's not even fun to play these events. Sure it's very strong but i don't understand how it can be fun to only play one guild.. | ||
