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

Land Destruction in Modern, or at least an attempt at it :p

Lots of cheap land kill with Dingus Egg and Roiling Terrain to do damage for the land killing.
I was going to use Fire Diamond for a little mana accelleration, but it's not Modern legal, so Coldsteel Heart it is.
Plunder is a little expensive at {4}{R}, but its suspend of {1}{R} is nice.
Fossil Find makes for a nice recycling card to re-use some of the already used land destruction cards.

This deck is currently untested, so I have no idea how it'll do.


*EDIT*
Replaced Plunder with Melt Terrain.

I don't have any Dues of Calamity and because of its mana cost, I'm not sure I'd add them. I am thinking of replacing Plunder with Melt Terrain for more damage off the land kill.

I actually have Avalanche Riders, just been trying to deside what to take out....

Wake of Destruction has 2 major problems. 1) its casting cost and 2) it's not Modern legal.

I don't know if this supposed to be budget but instead of coldsteel heart have you thought about Braid of Fire, a little more expensive (money wise) but overall it's a much better mana accel for the same cmc.

The problem with Braid of Fire (that I already own 3 of) is I'd only be able to use the mana in the phase it gives it to me, the upkeep and oy instants and activated abilities can be used in the upkeep. Most land destruction cards are only sorcery speed.

You might look for space for Invader Parasite (I'd swap out Dingus Egg.) It has the benefit of being a creature, exiling a land, AND making it painful to play more land (of the type exiled). If you're willing to either pay life, or tinge another color, Surgical Extraction is fantastic in Land Destruction (assuming you play in an environment where the use of non-basic lands is prevalent.) Destroy one non-basic land and use it to fetch all the other copies of it from the owners hand, library and graveyard. As a multipurpose card, it can also limit the usefulness of Mana Leak, etc. to the first time only. Yes, you Mana Leaked my Stone Rain, but you won't do it again!

The Parasite is a nice card, but the reason I don't use it is the players in my group (the ones I wish to defeat) play a lot of non basic lands and that makes their decks have a lot of different lands. Thus making the parasite not that useful. I'd rather try work in the Avalanche Riders I have.

The Surgical's mite be a nice idea, but I'd rather keep the lands in the grave for Roiling Terrain to do more damage. I mite add the Extractions to my mono green land destruction deck :p

I considered them too, but found I needed the accelerated mana to be around after a Pyroclasm.
