Would this be legal in 'modern'?
« le: Mai 17, 2016, 03:33:46 pm »
So, deckstats says this is legal in Extended play, but im wondering if it can be used in Modern, and if not, whats card(s) is keeping it from being able to be used in modern.

Little help? :)

The deck is modern legal, but not modern competitive.

Would rather build a deck with cards i like, and see how far i get. Than spend $300 on some deck someone else made that just happens to be the 'in thing' to use  ;)

Perfectly valid reasoning. I actively support the construction of decks that don't match the dominate archetypes.

The major downfall of this deck is its inherent lack of statistical consistency. The likely hood of drawing any card, or any set of cards, has been minimized because of their low representation in the deck.

I'm all for originality but the cynic is right. Playing so many singletons will be a problem and playing all five colours with little mana fixing will make it common for cards to sit dead in your hand. And even when you can cast everything you draw, you won't be able to match competitive decks in terms of card quality or synergy.

Additional note: 30% of the deck has a converted mana cost of 4 or greater. 42% of the deck is land.

This deck is destined to spend a majority of its matches waiting for turn four to play a card. In modern, that is far too long.

    lower cmc of your cards, more spells and creatures over land, mana fixing or evolving wilds/dual lands. If you simply adjusted the ratio of basic lands in your deck then you'd be better off that way as well. Also if you pick a deck theme to play by then even if you use ALL the colors then you'll still have a concrete core and some added consistency to your deck.

Im actually working on tweaking it a bit. I essentially made it out of cards i had gotten out of boosters when me and a friend did a booster draft at pax east. So thats why all of the singletons :)

I have a few more cards to work with now, so gonna tweak it a bit over the weekend.
