Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)

Enchantments (4)

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

The idea is to beat the living crap out of your opponent while taking care of any problems they may try to bring your way (Creatures, Plainswalkers, Enchantments etc, etc). There's life gain (Baneslayer Angel, Kitchen Finks, Siege Rhino) to counter act the life loss from the fetch and shock lands.

As you can see there are plenty of stomps for low mana costs with even a couple of 5 drops. Everything in the deck is 5 mana or less.

This deck can be used in multplayer or one on one. It is modern legal (All my decks are modern. It is my favorite format).

Deck discussion for Junk Midrange (Modern)

In my opinion Master feats is just bad in modern. There is so much creature removal too be willing to give your opponent card advantage just to loose your creature immediately following. My suggestion for a good replacement would be to add 3 Sylvan Caryatids. It's so useful in a tri color deck especially with so many 4+ cmc's. As far as your land is concerned I would consider cutting the Sandsteppe Citadels for Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth. ( let's you use fetch lands as swamps without cracking them). I would also try and run 4 basic lands. It really sucks to not get the advantage of being Path to Exiled or Ghost Quartered. 2 cards which are played a lot in modern.

Take it for what it is, Simply my opinions.
Happy Casting :)

As well suggestions for the Sideboard include. Engineered Explosives, Chalice of the Void, (particularly useful in this deck since you have minimal 1 and 2 cmc cards and the majority of modern is played with under 3 cmc.) Vexing Shusher, Stoney Silence, Rest in Peace, Relic of Progenitus. Geth's Verdict, Torpor Orb. I'm sure you can see the usefulness in most of these cards depending on your local Meta.

I completely forgot about Ghost Quartered. :/ I have thought about some of the cards you mentioned in the sideboard. Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth is an excellent suggestion as the deck is black heavy and if I really wanted to I could go fetch for a fetch or save it for later and the fetch wouldn't be a complete dead beat card late in the game.

As you can see I added Linvala, Keeper of Silence, Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and cut out the Master of the Feast.
I had Master of the Feast in the deck because they were drawing on my turn and I wanted him to be fodder instead of another one of my cards. If my opponent didn't target the master, even better you can take 5 to the face. If a was facing a counter deck then I would sideboard him out (most of the time) but I don't see him as a horrible card as most people do but you have a valid point and there are much better things I could put in his place.

-1 Godless Shrine to put you to 24 and add 2 Thoughtsieze to main deck and 2 to sideboard. As well I mentioned it before but Stoney Silence cripples artifact decks.

I completely forgot about Ghost Quartered. :/ The Yawgmoth's are excellent suggestions as the deck is black heavy and it doesn't make my fetch lands completely useless late game and if I really wanted to I could go fetch for a fetch.

As for the sideboard, the majority of the cards you have mentioned I have thought of at one point of another but I just haven't decided what or how much to run of everything.
I added the Tombs, Linvala, Keeper of Silence and took out the Master of the Feasts. I still have one slot left and I'm not 100% sure to fill it with. I liked Master because it was a 3 drop that was a 5/5. I wasn't really worried about my opponent drawing cards on my turn because more often than not he got through on turn 4 and he did his part and I'm not making you discard or trying to control your hand. If my opponent used a kill card or bounced him back that was one less card that I would have to worry about my opponent using that card on another one of my permaments. I honestly don't think he is as bad as everyone makes him to be.

I guess it's more of a personal thing but there isn't anything I hate more then watching my opponent draw cards which I'm not. I guess it's just a bit more insulting when I caused it.

That's what I love about this game. You could give any magic player the same 100 cards plus basic lands and most of the time the deck wouldn't be the same and those player are not going to play the deck the same way.
I see your point. Nobody likes their opponent drawing any unnecessary cards but sometimes you have to take a risk.
Instead of thoughtseize, I added extirpate. (I don't own any thoughtseizes anymore).

Deck looks really good now in my opinion anyway. The worst thing that could happen to you now is someone casting Blood Moon. You have no way to answer that since you couldn't cast Abrupt Decay on account of only having 2 basics being plains.

Well that's what sideboarding is for!! :) I still need to pick up some of the cards of this deck (Abyssals, a Linvala, and the cards in standard) but getting those won't be hard to do. The hardest card to get will be Linvala. I'll probably just have to fork over some money for her.
I figured she would be a good addition to the deck. Stops a good portion of the decks in modern (Arcbound Ravenger for one and many other)

Very true. Is the price of happiness my friend. If you have a second let me know what you think of my new modern deck here.

BTW Chalice of the Void for 1 shuts it down if I don't draw Smash to Smithereens.
