[Modern] blood funnel Mentor

blood funnel Mentor

Blood Funnel has great potential but no home in modern at all.
I think Mentor does give us the chance to change this. Monastery Mentor and Bloodghast do give Funnel the recourses we need to cast expensive spells which don't see modern as well. Let's check that idea and try to create a deck around that.
Beeing thank full for your help and support on this. BR Chris

I like the idea, but there are some core problems:
Without Blood Funnel, the deck can't compete with other modern tier decks (because the spells cost too much, and mentor itself is to slow).
Since you are slower and are relying on certain cards, blue is a must have color (better card selection and counterspells to slow opponents down.
Elspeth is a better finisher than Sorin.
Supreme Verdict synergized nicely with BLood Funnel and is a very good card atm.
So probably you have to go 5 color, with a Bring to Light Suite.

4 color with some fairly expensive mana fixing could work

[Soren841]

Or 3 color, just add blue

Thanks guys for your input.
You're right and I will think of adding blue for some control options. The mana could be also accelerated by some nice artifacts as well. For example Hedron archive. Having a funnel on the battlefield will make it enter "free of charge" and later it'll make an acceptable card draw.
Nice thing is that expensive counters will be great. Fuel for cause or bone to ash e.g..
To put it in a nutshell we should reduce the expensive cards in order to make room for blue color and some control optionsthere.
So which win option should we keep? Over all what out, what in?

[ChristophBartecki]

Just added some control in the existing colors. brutality is a great synergy with bloodghast and souls ad gives us several options of use. inquisition will help in the earlygame, too. I've cut Sorin for Elspeth as she will do the game on her own once she's in. Was thinking which one will be the best removal PTE or Push or something else... picked PTE here. Your thoughts?

I'd say path since it exiles. Them getting a land doesn't matter as much since your decks whole plan is basically ramp
