Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

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

USA! USA! USA!
My personal 2014 celebratory creation. Enjoy ;)

Here are the facts:
> I'm tired of monocolor.
> Options make me happy.
> Killing your stuff makes me happy.
> College students are poor.

That's about all you need to know \m/

How to Play

Here's my take on Modern UWR Control :D
No Snapcasters, No Sphinxes Rev, No Cryptics. Just cheap wincons & lots of options >:)

PICK A STYLE:
There are many ways to play my deck. Your opening hand defines which of the wincons you will go for. You can control, burn, delver rush, or stall. Playstyle and game choices are up to you :>

WINCONS:
1) The usual Aetherling superman beatdown.
4) Direct burns to the face. There is enough draw and recycling for this to happen.
2) Why is Delver here? CUZ I'M POOR THAT'S WHY. DEATH BY MANTIS!
3) Faerie Conclave pokes. Because Colonnade is obscene.

This is the brainchild of "USA Control" and my fondness in unique decks, as well as my lack of money. It has no less than FOUR win conditions. I own this deck in real life, and I am pleasantly surprised by it.It plays better than you'd expect.

Current Record (casual games): 8-3

I'm still open to suggestions that could help the above deck, as well as suggestions for the sideboard! Remember, this is a budget casual deck, so please rate it as such.

I adore the deck, but have you considered Young Pyromancer?

Yeah! The initial creatures of the deck were Aetherling, Augur of Bolas, and Young Pyro.
Pyro and Gutter are really cool. It's just that they eat removal and do nothing so often :((

And the spells don't flow like crazy (aka storm or 1-drop deck). It is a little slow and controll-ey?
So Aetherling fits better for me now.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll retest and see if I can fit those in! :))

I would consider guttershipe, it would make the deck way faster than aetherling beatdown you currently have going on. Addmittedly that is a completely different type of deck, but aggro is usually cheaper than control.

There's so much removal and aggro in my meta, so Guttersnipes always drop instantly :((
I love the card though, so I'll bide my time til I get a chance to use it.

Thanks for the suggestion :)

This deck is surprisingly well done. I normally cant stand to see Delver decks, mainly because i dont really see what all is so great about him besides his ability to peek at your top card. This deck however doesnt focus exclusively on him, and this pleases me. Well built sir. Well built.

While I can't strickly disagree with the quality of Lightning Helix of Warleader's, I think the price difference might be a mitigating factor on a budget deck. I know, it is like about $1.50, but that is compared to $.25 on Warlearder's.

Lightning Helix is a $3 card, and worth it. Warleader's Helix sees 0 play in Modern because of the existence of Lightning Helix.

Waiting on a couple bucks. Thanks for the comment. WH isn't shabby either for a couple cents though ;)

Ninja, I completely agree with you. LH is an amazing card- way above the curve. You just have to make some concessions to budget decks. I think WH is an example of Wizards admitting how overpowered the original card was.

Amen to that. We are a bit spoiled by LH hahaha.
I'll hunt down a couple when I can ;)
