- Playing Modern for fun
- Just a collection of cards close enough to being coherent
- Just want it to be good enough to hold some games down
- Choices also based on availability, so expensive suggestions probably not happening
- Things i enjoy: a lot of options for attack and hosers, tutors, playing solidly even if playing slow, mainboard hosers, cards with multiple effects, fringe playables, more creatures than spellsCreatures (17):
4x Tarmogoyf
3x Dark Confidant
4x Burning-Tree Shaman
2x Kitchen Finks
1x Olivia Voldaren
1x Thrun, the Last Troll
1x Anathemancer
1x Fulminator Mage Instants and Sorceries (17):
4x Lightning Bolt
4x Lightning Helix
1x Abrupt Decay
3x Thoughtseize
2x Blightning
2x Inquisition of Kozilek
1x Maelstrom Pulse Planeswalkers (3):
3x Liliana of the Veil[/b] Lands (23):
2x Scalding Tarn
4x Marsh Flats
1x Verdant Catacombs
1x Arid Mesa
1x Misty Rainforest
2x Blood Crypt
2x Overgrown Tomb
1x Stomping Ground
1x Sacred Foundry
1x Godless Shrine
1x Temple Garden
2x Raging Ravine
1x Swamp
1x Mountain
1x Forest Alternate Choices:
Birds of Paradise
Dryad Militant
Kataki, War's Wage
Loxodon Smiter
Qasali Pridemage
Voice of Resurgence
Scavenging Ooze Lingering Souls
Boros Charm Sideboard Options:
Grafdigger's Cage, Pithing Needle, Torpor Orb, Rest in peace, Stony Silence, Ancient Grudge, Surgical Extraction, Sowing Salt, Slaughter Games, etc Is this even close to playable? Varied removal suite, mindrange creatures that suit the slower play style, beatdowns with Tarms, Thrun, Olivia. I would like to tweak this to run more efficient spells, and less of them, put more focus into an actual plan for late game.

Your deck is confused, it doesn't know if it supposed to be Zoo or Junk. I suggest you do a little research the difference between the 2.

I also know that too.But it is sad to HAVE to play some mainstream netdeck. I already said i want to play my own thing. Where's your creativity?  It's just some midrangey good stuff. I like decks like Zoo/5c Tribal Zoo, Naya Aggro, Junk, and Jund. But i want to play this for fun, and tighten it up a bit be decent.

This deck wants Knight of the Reliquary. So many things you can do with her: mana fixing, 1 turn mana accel, tutor a utility land, or just beat your opponent to death. Also, Liliana + Lingering Souls is very good.I also dislike playing mainstream decks; there's no creativity to it. I'm currently running an Obliterator-Rock mess. Here's the list if it gives you any ideas: Land - 24
3x Overgrown Tomb
3x Godless Shrine
1x Temple Garden
4x Verdant Catacombs
3x Marsh Flats
2x Woodland Cemetery
1x Isolated Chapel
1x Stirring Wildwood
1x Vault of the Archangel
1x Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
1x Ghost Quarter
1x Forest
1x Swamp
1x Plains Creatures - 15
4x Dark Confidant
4x Tarmogoyf
3x Knight of the Reliquary
4x Phyrexian Obliterator Other Spells - 21
3x Inquisition of Kozilek
2x Thoughtseize
4x Path to Exile
3x Abrupt Decay
2x Maelstrom Pulse
3x Lingering Souls
4x Liliana of the Veil Sideboard
4x Chalice of the Void (you'd be surprised how many decks struggle with this set at 1)
2x Creeping Corrosion
3x Extirpate
4x Rest in Peace
2x Thoughtseize It's not the best deck, but it's pretty solid, and I'd wager I have more fun playing it than I do some of the more mainstream decks. The only thing I really struggle against is Pod, but then, almost everything struggles against Pod.

Yea, i wanted to put Lingering Souls in there, excellent card.
I enjoy Blightning but was thinking of replacing that with something else first.Knight of the Reliquary is a great card, can't deny her fixing capabilities, but i don't have that many plains and forests
