Castle Deck (Modern) [Revisione 3]

This is my favorite deck because it is so much fun! I designed it so it could easily be sideboarded to play in any format.

Kaervek’s Torch can be swapped out with Molten Blast or Searing Blaze to make it Modern legal.

Gargoyle Sentinel can be swapped with Skyclave Sentinel to make it Pauper legal.

The inspiration for this deck came from an idea I had when I was new and still learning Magic. I didn’t know about the history of other defender style decks but I wanted to see if a deck could win without attacking.

There are other cards that would add to its lethality but this deck is more about flavor than strength. It definitely wins however, it is built for flavor to be like a castle with its defender “walls” that synergize with burn spells to deal direct damage. This castle even has its own “moat” and “trebuchet”!

The heart of The Castle Deck is Electrostatic Field and Lightning Bolt. The Electrostatic Field deals the additional damage needed to really drive home the win.

• The snow lands are used for Skred for damage that scales with the game. Other lands could be used for utility but this deck doesn’t need anything more. It’s simplicity also lets my wife or son pick it up and easily pilot it.
• Divination is here for slow card draw. Other low-cost card draw could be used but this slows down our play to match most typical decks.
• Unsummon helps take care of problematic creatures.
• Arcbond is a fun, defensive combat trick that can sweep their board and inflict direct damage. They never see this coming!

An ideal opening hand would be 2 Lands, Counterspell, Lightning Bolt, Electrostatic Field, card draw, and another damage spell.
