No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

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

Been awhile since I played MTG but wanted to get back into modern. I liked the idea of affinity but i thought by having faiths reward you could play even more aggressive and not be punished for it and also not be afraid of board clear. Let me know what you think.

Deck discussion for Affinity's reward

Looks good. I know you said you want help, but I'm not great with artifacts. I'll see if I can help at all, though.

I like the inclusion of inkmoth nexus. Seems like you could kill in a few turns with that.
I wouldn't include Galvanic Blast. Might work, but as the only red card card, I don't think it will work well even with the metalcraft

To improve this deck:

Faiths reward almost seems purposeless. It is an antisweep card that is much slower than this deck wants to be. Lotus bloom is also an of choice as you have to wait 3 turns and ideally you should already have dumped your who hand by then.

Dispatch is a questionable choice. Yes exiling for 1 is great but if you don't have metal craft it on turn one and white mana avialable a lot of big threats like goyf, goblin guild, or mana dorks like lords of paradise will make it through which you don't want. It is not a bad card but affinity has so many amazing cards that you can almost definately find something better.

A lot of tron and other eldrazi decks are popular now making etched champion surprisingly easy to handle. Possibly run a playset or master of etherium instead.

As far as mana base goes, there is no reason not to a full playset of glimmervoid snd also a few spire of industry. Realistically, 1 or 2 basics is all you need because you want other lands but you also don't want your creature exiled for free with path to exile.

Other more fringe cards to consider or possibly sideboard would be ethersworn cannonist, tezzeret magnet or bolas, whipflare and spellstike.

Interesting choice of cards for an Affinity deck.
I actually like the Ravager - Faith's Reward combo, it actually makes Ravager usable for a change.

I don't know what I would suggest as I don't know how you're planning to play the deck.
Looking into cards like Tempered Steel and Ruthless Invasion.

When I used to play artifact heavy decks, I used to toss in a couple of Myr Enforcers.
