Deck Description

Heya

THis is the Idea to a deck i had in mind. Its not fully completed.

My thoughts went on Odric, since i saw what Bushi can do. And i was thinking about legendary permanents and if there might be spells to buff those.

Still bushido is an underrated ability, that allows you to control the combat phases.
People seem to "dont-wanna-block-it" so i take advantage of that

I build the deck in 4 quaters.
1/4 goes to aggressors like Bushi
1/4 to mana (obviously)
1/4 to board care (will come to that later)
and little less than 1/4 to (higher mana cost-) Combat-control spells.

Why these cards?
They are maybe not modern-op but they do their job and basically I'm having fun playing it.

What i try to do is, bring my Bushi out in turn 1 and than having the right instants to flip it. a 3/4 double-strike bushido 2 is considerable overpowered.
But the funny thing is, that it makes your opponent thinking.."That 1/1 is not a problem, but the 3/4 would" and then they tend to do not block it. Thats the Point where spells like Titan's Strength come into play.
Attacking with Bushi, he declares no block, than Titan's Strength is like resolving a Vexing Devil in turn 1 and attack with it in turn 2

When that happens its about to get to turn 3, and in order to protect my Bushi, here is my 1/4 board care.
Ajani's Presence: well, easy to flip Bushi and a protection against Damnations or Wraths or Supreme Verdicts
Boros Charm to do either of both: Go aggressive or keep your board safe. I like it!
Opal-Eye... when you think of it.. Your opponent needs to win by damage, all other win conditions in MTG are useless by far, (not including Infect)
Opal-Eye and Harm's Way (and deflecting Palm) give you the opportunity to send back any damage from any source. I did leave out deflecting palm, as it cant flip my Bushi
Harm's Way is a good way to flip Bushi aswell!
AAAAAAAAND MASAKO. She's so super tricky i just love her and i know i want her, even twice, though she's a legend

Sooooo, guess the biggest question still is Sarkhan..
I prefere him, because of the mana curve. I like Ajani more, but with 4 mana he does not fit in my play, as i find myself having various options with 4 mana. Sarkhan is that 5 mana aggressor i want to have in there.
With Odric out, I should be able to win the game by then.


If you have any thoughts on this deck, please don't mind to tell me them!
Still, this deck-idea is super young and i know it can be better and thanks for watching this :P
