Crazy 8s Modern

Price isn't my concern with the deck. I want this thing to be tourney ready. As for the 4 dismember, it's more for threats that I just don't want to see. Doesn't matter what it is, this will hopefully kill it. Land has not given me any problems either, so I'm leaving it at 20

Honestly as a 8-rack player, waste not isn't the best.
The green splash is fine.
3xTasigur's Cruelty is not cost effective, it's an alright card I guess, but having 3 in a deck that can't support them enough is a bad time.

Lilly of the veil is an auto 4 of.
not to mention thoughtsieze and IoK.
Even raven's crime one of the best discard spells this deck has to offer(paired with lilly and dakmor its a decent soft lock.)
I prefer running ensnaring bridge over the extra removal also...

See Tasigar's cruelty, waste not, and dark deal are what make the deck different. Each one feeds another and gives me stuff while keeping my opponent locked up with no hand.

Regarding Lily, I like the Dakmoor lock a lot, but where would I put her? Swapping in Dakmoor isn't hard, but I don't know where I would fit in Lily. I have the same issue with the legacy version.

The only thing is you are relying on having a waste not...
Tasigar's cruelty and dark deal are just awful without an active waste not.
Seems over priced for little effect.
Just my 2 cents.

Well I know where I would make the changes, but you stated you want those cards:P.

By all means suggest what you would do. I'm not so stubborn that I won't at least mull things over first.

As for waste not, yeah it's kind of the key card here, but I'm getting it fairly consistently and the best part is when you get out a second one. Things tend to get crazy any that point, so you have to be careful not to deck yourself when it triggers your draw. It's literally a one card engine, which is why it's so damn good

Oh trust me, I have tested tons of different waste not builds.
When it works its absurd, but its a terrible card to draw off the top late game.
If you don't have it in the first few turns it becomes a real drag.(I understand thats why you play 3-4 normally)

I still try to figure ouy what is best in that slot.
Been testing the R/B route with 4x lightning bolt and 2x bitter blossom.
I really enjoy ensnaring bridge also, its really good vs aggro and midrange decks, also stops emrakul and wurmcoil very easy:P.

This is the list that I am currently running/testing.

Really fast and lean, generally only has some troubles with some aggro decks and G/R tron.

looks good. ive debated splashing a third color if only for one card, but i wouldnt do it unless it was my legacy build, which runs deathrite shaman. otherwise it would likely end up as a dead card in hand without the right mana. im also a huge fan of rakdos builds, but abrupt decay is so good that i cant pass it up for something like this that needs noncreature threat removal, even if it is a tad limited in scope

Decay is super good, I just like the reach with lightning bolt.
most of the time it just goes to the face:P

I've been wanting to try the B/W build.
using paths, you mostly get better sideboard cards, I just don't have the lands and don't want to dish the money out atm.
Would love for something like Gerrald's verdict to get reprinted....

The blue build is also decent.
main deck spellskites help a lot vs infect and boggles.
Also you can get your racks and bridges back.
That's a meta choice though, those decks aren't much of a thing for me.

Yeah I already have the lands so it's not that hard to get the rest of the stuff. As for what to splash, if at all, I'm more comfortable with red or green, but blue makes for better discard and such. I'm planning to keep Spellskite in the sideboard for infect matchups, but I also have dismember for creatures and if I get really desperate, then decay is there too. Overall the deck should run fine but I've yet to really test it vs other competitive decks

Spellskite is a great sideboard card if you're playing blue or not, it's just much better in blue:P.
Just like I play Leyline of sanctity in my lists, even though I could never cast it.

I have the lands for B/R and B/U which is what I have tested.
I played Grixis control in standard so that's where I got my lands from haha.

Besides that, I think ever splash is alright, I just feel they are all better at facing different metagames.

Yeah it's like how I have kataki in my sideboard for affinity, but unless I have a godless shrine or Deathrite shaman it's useless

Well leyline isn't useless, it's jsut akward to not have it in the opener.
after that it's just lilly fodder.

I feel torpor orb may still be a useful card without pod as all the old pod players seemed to have moved to BGx decks which still rock a lot of ETB effects.

Agreed on the Leyline. Might have the orb as a sideboard option

I always run Surgical in my list as turn 1 discard + surgical just destroys combo:P
Leyline is mostly there for burn and the mirror.
I was running grafdiggers mainly for pod, but haven't seen too much GY decks yet, I feel thats where I can fit torpor in.
besides that Pyroclasm and relic of progenitus are useful:p

Cool. I've considered a lot of those for my sb but I just haven't finished tweaking it yet. I want to finish the deck first before I do that. That includes both the legacy and modern one

I haven't tryed for legacy, those duals are a tad too expensive.
I feel If i did play lagacy rack I would go for B/W.
Having access to both hymm and gerrards verdict would be great.

Indeed. It's more of a pet project but I would love it if it worked. Might even try out a ptq if it's good enough

Obviously the core of the deck would be:
4x rack
4x affliction
4x hymm
4x gerrard's(white)
I would prefer to still have:
4x thoughtseize
4x IoK

Wastelands would be good.
I would still like ensnaring bridge, not as a 4 of same with lilly.
I don't think I like sword to the plowshares in this deck as you want to drain their life, path to exile may still be better...
Bob?
Hard to think on the fly for legacy lol

Keep the decks curve at 1-2 with maybe a couple 3's 4 at most.
seems like a good time?

Sounds wicked. I'm down for that jazz

Meh. It's okay. It lacks punch...and a win condition

I have found it to be quite consistent. With drain/removal/protection.

Yah but I find nothing more satisfying than making your opponent discard their hand, you getting back your hand and then some, and still be able to do it all again at the drop of a hat. So much more effective in the long run

idk if 4 lily is worth it 2-3 maybe. funeral charm is your only instant discard its worth keeping a few
can you check my new deck?

The -1 is very relevant now that DRS is banned also.
1 toughness mana dorks are all over on top of being able to deal with a lot of creatures in modern.

See a little Birdy told me that Deathrite shaman might be getting it's ban lifted here soon. Either way I'm finishing the legacy version first. This one is on hiatus until I'm ready to attempt it

Except that this wouldn't solve anything because waste not my hand full (hopefully)

wat do egeinst delvor of secrots?==??=?, getg out logiccked
- may god bless ur'e souls

this deck is only a theory. i dont know if it would work in modern at all, but this so far is what i came up with. if you want to see the more viable version of this deck, then look at the legacy one. Im actually about half done building it
