Cool. I like me a Junk brew. You might want to consider Kitchen Finks in SB...good against Burn. I'm not a fan of Sandsteppe Citadel (esp. with the full four) to be honest...

Good, solid deck. Plenty of GY hate which I think is shrewd at the minute, although isn't it just better to have maybe Thoughtseizes rather than Lifebane Zombies? I get that the Lifebane Zombie is flavourful, but also highly specific.

Yeah, although remove the Scalding Tarns and it is a fair bit cheaper...

I like it a lot, as I am a fan of the Eldrazi...would be weak in a combo-heavy meta though...

Think I might upgrade this with some Lily's when I have the cash...they can replace the Archfiends, while still maintaining black devotion. Maybe Massacre Wurm too...

Mono-Black Modern

Mono-black is always fun (though not usually for the opponent) - my attempt at a brew for Modern. I've tried to put in things that only black/swamps can do.

Plans are to disrupt opponent early on with discard and cards like Gifted Aetherborn to keep the board under control until the bigger hitters come out. From here, it is about getting the most value out of devotion to Black (obvious card choices here: Erebos, Gray Merch, Whip, Phyrexian)

I quite like Archfiend of Ifnir for the cycling. If our opponent wraths us or gives us a hard time there's always Tasigur/Gurmag to make use of our graveyard. I wonder about including Desecration Demon or Erebos's Titan in this deck somewhere. I even like the idea of Corrupt, though that seems a bit expensive for Modern.

Any feedback is welcome.

What do you think to Scooze as a goyf alternative?

Can't really figure out what your deck is trying to do. I can understand if you're trying to make this budget, but I don't understand Vinelasher. It requires a heavy investment to be good and it dies to all the removal in Modern. If you're not going budget, I would replace the Lashers with Goyfs. If you're trying to make it budget replace them with Grim Flayer. I don't think you need the 3 Damnations mainboard, unless your meta is heavily flooded with creature decks. I like the Life from the Loam, but I would run a full 4 of Ghost Quarter or maybe a 2 Ghost Quarter 2 Tectonic Edge split. Recurring land disruption is amazing. I don't like Worm Harvest at all. Once again, it's really expensive and it requires a pretty big investment to be good. I would say you make those Siege Rhinos. I also don't like Dark Blast at all. You're not a dredge deck.  I would do this. -1 Damnation, -4 Dark Blast, -1 Garruk, -4 Vinelasher, -2 Worm Harvest, -4 Crime Punishment, -2 Caustic. +4 Lingering Souls, +4 Siege Rhino, +4 Goyf/Grim Flayer, +4 Path to Exile, +2 Liliana of the Veil

Yeah, it's a budgety thing. I'd love Goyfs and Liliana if I could (potentially could run it online). Worm Harvest is probably too slow for Modern and I would probably run Lingering Souls ahead of it.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Junky Thing

Ideas:

Fetchlands/Life from the Loam

1) Vinelasher Kadzu benefits from the fetchlands - he's a Goyf replacement. (was considering Quinion Dryad, Skinshifter or good ol' Scooze). Loam can bring back fetchlands to pump the Vinelasher.

2) Worm Harvest is an interesting card that benefits from the fetches. It would also benefit from cycling lands too, but these are possibly too slow for Modern? Thoughts welcome on this.

Sideboard:

* I figured I quite like Bitterblossom against Midrange and Control stuff - SB as against Burn it is not so good and combo decks like Scapeshift it doesn't get the job done soon enough.

* Thoughtseize is always useful. The lifeloss is negated (potentially) by Kitchen Finks.

* Ratchet Bomb for when I *don't* have a board full of 1/1s and to counter things like Empty the Warrens etc.


Not sure if I've got the manabase totally right but it seems pretty smooth at the minute. Any feedback or suggestions are welcome.

I notice you have a lot of control in the sideboard? What's the plan with this?
