Deck Description

A deck shamelessly borrowed and retweaked from SureWhyNot and WhiteAndBlueTheyKillYou. I wanted to play it in modern though and this is the list that I have come up with that works for me so far. It is fairly new and still doing a lot of playtests though.

(If I missed someone who needs credit mentions, I'm sure I'll be filled in)

I was originally trying to play it with the probe but it usually took awhile before probe would take the win and sometimes it just sat there not winning the game for me.

Deck discussion for Iso-Seek

One thing that makes me happy is this deck usually demolishes affinity.

This may seem like a waste of time, but could you explain how this deck works? I am about to get into modern and this is the color scheme I'm looking at. I get that this deck has land destruction elements and control elements, but what role does discard have in this deck? theres lots of cards to make both you and your opponents discard and that seems non synergetic with ensnaring bridge. path to exile also goes against the land destruction your working on. Lastly, what would be the preferred cards to isochron scepter? cards like silence or smallpox?

Mainly seek. Extraction likes to mess with the opponents library through hand disruption and graveyard removal. Here is a budget version if interested.

The discard serves so far to get rid of early game aggro threats or something crazy like a first turn melira discard followed by surgical extraction. The path to exile might seem like it doesn't have synergy but you have to keep in mind that a lot of competitive decks run very little, if any basic lands, so it isn't as detrimental as you might think. If you can do the turn 2 isochron with silence, that is usually what I would do. Other than that I would go with hide/seek because it rips threats from their deck and gains you life.

oh that makes sense. thanks for explaining! do you get to cast both halves of hide/seek with isochron at once?

Nope. You have to choose when you tap the scepter.

I admittedly don't care much for Modern, so I don't know much about it...But this looks very good. I think the word I'd use to describe it is that it looks "clean". The one thing I find weird is the inclusion of Ajani. Not saying it's bad, just weird.

I find that a lot of the times that if you get his ultimate off that most opponents will just enter scoop phase. More so if you have been extracting their stuff the whole game. No lands and all their bombs scavenged out leaves no hope for most people.
