This leads to a weird cycle where decks are pushed to be faster and even less interactive, to have the speed needed to beat the other fast, linear decks in the format. There are so many playable decks that rather than metagaming to try to beat everything else fairly, one of the most common pathways to success is to simply to try to out-goldfish your opponent by playing a fast, linear combo deck that can (mostly) ignore what the opposition is up to. I also want to try out ] as an alternative to ], as we can sac it to draw from the grave.Modern is a unique format. Here's an example list: Otherworldly Dredge Other alternatives are ] and ] which draw cards, but their 2 cmc is rather off-putting.

It's a T1 play and the most important thing is it has Flashback, so we can always do something with it if we mill it by dredging. They're similar to ] as it mills 6 cards for a one card investment. What we need is more consistency.Īfter looking up alternatives I stumbled over ] and ]. My problem with it is it's dead when you get a rough start. Don't get me wrong I think it's good when you get a good opener and can fire it off T2/3.

I don't really think so as exiling 8 cards is a steep cost to pay. You might argue that ] makes up for that. What I always liked about looting was that you could use it from the grave if your hand is dead, whereas neither merchant or inquiry do anything in the grave. After I took a longer break from Modern itt came to my attention that people are playing ] and ] as replacements for ] since it got the hammer.
