Getting into modern, need advice
Posted: 05 Jun 2016, 16:27
Good day all, I'm thinking of trying to trade into Modern for the first time. After looking at different decks, specifically for decks where I already have a lot of the expensive pieces (that also look fun to play), I think want to put together G/B elves. I found a deck list I liked, and after making some adjustments to cheapen the mana base, I ended up with this http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/05-06-16 ... ern-elves/
The changes I made to the mana base were
Swapped 2 Cavern of Souls for 2 Ancient Ziggurats. I already own 2 Caverns, and the Ziggurats seemed like a good budget alterative.
Swapped 4 Gilt-Leaf Palaces for 4 Llanowar wastes
The original deck list called for 2 Horizon Canopys, and they didn't look that important, so I swapped them for a second Windswept Heath (which I have) and a second Overgrown tomb (which I don't have).
These changes have reduced the cost of the pieces I need for the mana base from $400 to $50, but do they seem like reasonable changes? What other suggestions do you guys have (about the mana base or about the deck in general)
Thanks in advance!
