Tempermental+ [Modern]

by Mercedes on 14 October 2011

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (17 cards)

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

Just playing around. May end up deleting the deck because, with Affinity available in the format, this might just be too ridiculous to attempt.

Comments and Suggestions welcome. I have a feeling that I'm not taking advantage of everything that's in the Modern-legal card pool (ex. Tidehollw Strix could be pretty hot), but right now that is what I got. :)

8/23 EDITS: After a discussion with joelfg about speed and balance (and the fact that I was running far too many mana sources), I realized that I was trying too hard to be innovative and left out a lot of things that made the standard Tempered Steel deck amazing. So! Lots of revisions!
OUT:
-4 Tidehollow Sculler (sideboard?)
-3 Master of Etherium
-2 Everflowing Chalice
-2 Tezzeret
-3 Porcelin Legionnaire
-3 Remand
-1 Academy Ruins (this one hurt the most)
-2 Cranial Plating
-2 Hallowed Fountain
-2 Glacial Fortress

IN:
+4 Ornithopter
+1 Vault Skirge
+4 Etched Champion
+4 Signal Pest
+4 Origin Spellbomb
+2 Open the Vault
+5 Plains

The sideboard is, of course, a mess. I'm thinking about throwing the Ravager/Disciple combo in there for S&G.

Deck discussion for Tempermental+ [Modern]

This seems like a great deck. There isn't much to suggest... Maybe Steel Overseer or Arcbound Ravager?

I'm actually considering the Ravager/Disciple bit as sideboard tech. If aggro fails, change it all up with speedy damage? :O

I would put in 4 Steel overseer and 4 Porcelain legionnaire. Those two are just too damn good. Maybe reduce some cards like this:
-2 Signal Pest
-2 Open The vaults (your deck is too fast to be able to cast this)
-2 Origin Spellbomb
-2 Defense Grid (Just let them counter, you have more cards to overpower them)

But overall, very solid and well-rounded deck you got there. Nice take on Tempered Steel. Good job Mercedes! Keep it up!~

I hope you could give me short advices on these decks on your free time:

Eh, Open the Vaults is more of an emergency late-game card than anything. "In case of Shattering Spree, break glass". XD

So, taking out Defense Grid is basically saying that playing defensive cards are basically going o hurt me, right?

What would you say about the sideboard? just research and plan for the worst?
