So this one is long overdue and it’s our first proper modern
deck…
The theory is simple, keep them out, and keep them blind
until it’s time for the grand finale…
The Wrath of Karn because it ends with a genesis wave….
You will need.
4 –Axebane Guardian
4 – Gate Creeper Vine
4 Over Grown Battlement
4 wall of roots
2 Wall of Tanglecord
2 Mnenomic Wall
4 Mindslaver
4 genesis wave
1 Emrakul the Eons Torn
1 Ulamog the Infinite Gyre
1 Blightsteel Colossus
2 Karn Libertaed
4 leyline of sanctity
1 elixir of Immortailty
The lands I will leave to you but clearly it needs green and
white with a blue splash… and you need at least two Eye of Ugin
So what does it do? Well as you have probably worked out it’s
a ramp deck… and the plan is to generate a lot of mana early so you can create
ever increasing Genesis waves, ideally for 7, but 6 if you are struggling. What
you are looking for is a mindslaver and enough untapped lands to trigger it
right away and if possible a Karn… If you do manage to do this then next turn
you are probably going to have enough mana to genesis wave into either one of the
massive eldrazi fatties or perhaps even enough to tutor and play one. Your win
cons are obviously the big dudes and the Karn, but you can also generate an
achievable mind slaver lock and use their own decks against them too… This deck
can generate an insane amount of mana very quickly a turn 3 or 4 wave for 7
should be easy to achieve and you’ll have those great big walls for defence
from the aggro decks.
The Leylines are essential to this deck and indeed many
modern decks they are there to prevent snatches like Inquisition of kozilek and
duress which could be crippling to this deck and for the sideboard look for rootborn
defences against wrath decks and manor gargoyles for a sneaky aggro twist, oh
and wall of reverence for some quick life gain against burn. You might need defence against the new super o
ring…
