Deadly Snakes (Modern)

A snake themed deck, seasoned with a touch of death.

There are no Rare or Mythic Rare cards in this deck, but I have a few too many Uncommons for it to be considered a Peasant deck.

As of right now there really isn't a win condition, I use Ambush Viper and Winged Coatl as insta-kill flash blockers and buff them up with Rancor when I need to. Disentomb and Gravepurge let me bring my pesky "kill-snakes" back to my hand/deck so that they can be used as insta-kill flash blockers multiple times.

Thornbite Staff can make this deck really silly once it's equipped to something. For example, if I have it equipped to a Blight Mamba , pay 2 to tap it and put a poison counter on my opponent and end my turn. If they go to attack me and I'm not tapped out, I can throw down an Ambush Viper to block it and they both die, causing Blight Mamba to untap. If I have 2 more mana I can tap him again to put another poison counter on them. Then it's my turn and I do the same thing again.

OR I could just keep paying 2 and tapping a creature with deathtouch to wipe out all my opponent's creatures and then swing with whatever else I have out, ideally a Blight Mamba .
