There are a LOT of Modern decks on mtgvault! I thought it would be beneficial to everyone if we had a gauntlet of decks to test against! Then you can post your results and matchups against certain decks and get more direct help in terms of sideboarding or even maindeck card choices for your Modern brews.I'll link standard lists for the current top-tier Modern decks here and then put a copy-pasteable form in the How to Play section that you can attach to any of your Modern decks to show how your brew did!Have fun! and as always,Happy Brewing!

I will add my 8-rack deck, only played it once on paper but i have a lot more time with it on cockatrice. went 3-1 at a paper modern event 2-1 vs angel pod(50/50 match up) 1-2 vs merfolk(normally a good match up just a few misplays) 2-1 vs UWR control(easy match up lost game one keeping a removal heavy hand) 2-0 U tron(50/50 match up) I will post my lists later as i am at work atm and need to build each build.
I remember playing against 8rack at a local modern event with American control. I was living the dream, casting fused wear//tears to blow up their board. It was gross.
Well I board in 4x surgicals vs murica:P gets pretty easy from there. They can generally stall out the game and good players will bounce your bridges with cryptics but if you can get a raven's/ lilly lock online its gg as early as turn 4:P. The trick is to not run too many racks out so they can't 2-1 you:P I will do a huge post later when i get home though
Mono black 8-Rack(Hand control)http://www.mtgvault.com/viagrasaurusrex/decks/torn-between-these-2-decklists/These are the two deck lists I am torn between, though i am leaning more towards pack rat.The main differences are:Pack rat list-1: pack rat takes a lot of pressure of ensnaring bridge which we need to lock out out opponents in creature best matches.2: pack rat can attack under bridge. you can attack then activate mutavault/make another rat or do both and attack for 2-3 damage+3: with pack rat in play once we in top deck mode every draw is a live draw.4: improves all our creature based match upsWaste not list-1: explosive early game potential2: extreme value with smallpox when waste not is in play.In the end I feel the waste not list ends up being more gimmicky than the rat list.8-rack is a mono black discard deck that focuses on dismantling your game plan and winning through a long grindy game that is very frustrating to face.We specialize in picking apart combo decks, and slow deck(any blue based deck really)Core of the deck:4xEnsnaring Bridge4xThe Rack4xShrieking Affliction4xLiliana of the Veil4xRaven's Crime2xDakmore Salvage(soft lock with ravens crime)Match ups-Good:Ad naus combo(best match up ever 85%? maybe more haven't lost to it yet)storm(pyro)UWR controlUWR midgrangeDelver decks(all)living end50/50:MerfolkU-tronPod(angel and melira)Bad:Affinity G/R tron(almost unwinnible)InfectBoggles
