[Modern] Humans Afterall
« on: August 17, 2015, 10:53:26 am »
Humans Afterall

Champion of the parish have been my favourite card for a long time and I have been trying to make him work in any way I can. I've started this deck as a standard deck, and it gradually evolved to a casual deck and now a modern deck. I've tried different shells and this one seems like the best so far for an explosive start with a good mid-game stability. Drop champ and follow up with couple of humans. Continue to pressure with paladin and push the remaining damage through with angelic destiny and/or lawkeeper's ability. Charm is flexible, it either acts as your fifth path, develops your board, or pushes damage through.
Updates
17/8/2015: 4 Rancor switched for 4 Kytheon, Hero of Akros, Fiend Hunter for Brave the Elements main board. Kytheon is a good one drop with tremendous upside. He has some synergy with Gideon's lawkeeper, but still yet to test if he's better than having Rancor. Considering a single Mikaeus, the Lunarch main. He's always relevant early or late game, but just seems slow.

I'm glad that you're using green in this deck because G/W is so good for humans. One combo i like to play is deranged outcast combo with elder cather and any other human of choice (in your case your champion).The outcast sacrifices the elder to give the champion two +1/+1 counters, then the cather gives the champion two +1/+1 counters because he's a human. And on top of that both creatures are humans so that's two more +1/+1 counters. So in total just using those three cards in the right sequence your Champion of the parish could be sitting at 7/7 just pulling off that combo once. Combo that with raise the alarm ( three human tokens) and other spells that make human creature tokens and your champion will be undefeated.

Did not notice your reply. Yes G is huge for humans especially with mayor. Thanks for pointing out that combo. Seems like too much commitment with too much resources though, and with removals aplenty its definitely risky. Raise the alarm produces soldier tokens I believe. I think you meant Thatcher's Revolt or Gather the Townsfolk? Recently I have been using cards that justify themselves to prevent getting shut down by committing to much to 1 parish just have it get removed after it gets big.

    Well a big thing with human decks is that numbers are everything. What you do with those numbers falls entirely on how you run the deck. You could play Selesnya cards that populate your tokens such as rootborn defenses, you could switch green with black and use cards like village cannibals and such. Color choice and direction are big key factors that go into building a successful deck. What was your initial focus on this deck build?
