Budget Modern: Black Green Elves



I had this built a while back and it was cute. It's not going to win a SCG Open but would fair well at an FNM level event. It's even fine for casual play.

How to play this deck:
1. Play the mana elves
2. Play some more
3. Ezuri/Shaman of the Pack to win

It's not complicated.You play a whole bunch of elves and overwhelm your opponent. Heritage Druid and Nettle Sentinel work together. Clancaller and Archdruid pump the team. Ezuri makes the team bigger and trample. Shaman finishes the game if Ezuri didn't.

4 Llanowar Elves
4 Heritage Druid
4 Nettle Sentinel
4 Dwynen Elite
4 Elvish Visionary
4 Elvish Clancaller
4 Elvish Archdruid
4 Shaman of the Pack
4 Reclamation Sage
2 Ezuri, Renegade Leader

4 Lead the Stampede

4 Llanowar Wastes
4 Blooming Marsh
10 Forest

Modern: Lightning in a Bottle

I'm brewing this deck because I don't know why. Wait, I do know why. I love Ball Lightning. I've loved it since I started playing. And now there are lots of Ball Lightnings. Big ones, small ones, normal sized ones. Ball Lightnings in four colors of Magic.

Because of Collected Company you can play a lot of these cards even more efficiently. Four mana equals 12 trample damage? Sign me up!

So here's my first iteration of the list. The deck has one direction and that is forward.

4 Flamekin Harbinger
4 Spark Elemental
4 Thunderkin Awakener
4 Hellspark Elemental
4 Ball Lightning
4 Groundbreaker
4 Lightning Skelemental
4 Hell's Thunder

4 Collected Company

24 Land

I don't know how to make three color mana bases good.
