I've been thinking about investing into a new modern deck. I have basicly always played Merfolk, Dredge or Jeskai midrange and have been looking at Death's Shadow decks as a potential new deck. It seems like its safe to invest into, with few potential ban-worthy cards, and seems both powerful and fun to play.
My main problem: There are so many variants
Jund: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/archetype/modern-jund-death-s-shadow-87024#paper
Sultai: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/archetype/modern-sultai-death-s-shadow-114769#paper
Mardu: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/archetype/modern-mardu-shadow#paper
Grixis: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/archetype/modern-grixis-death-s-shadow-46465#paper
I've primarily looking at these four variants, but can't really make up my mind. I know Grixis best, from playing against it. Jund would be cheaper to invest into since I have most of the lands already. Sultai interest me for the combination of counterspells, goyf and Veil of summer (aka cryptic for 1 green). And Ranger-Captain of Eos seems like gas in this deck, especially in a more combo/control meta.
To everyone who has played with or against these decks; What are your impressions of these different variants? Which ones are better in which metas? And do you have some personal touches you like to add to Shadow lists?
What's On Thin Ice like in the current meta? Is it better, or worse than Oust?
I used to play Eternal Command in modern. I haven’t played for a few years now and updated it with some cards from horizons that I thought would be fun includes. Any input would be appreciated, I can only assume it is outdated against the new meta.
The #SCGINVI is over and the dust has settled. How did #UWControl fair? Well not great in both formats, unfortunately. We will preserver! Make sure to check out this weeks EP!!
Listen wherever you find your Podcasts!! Don’t forget at 2pm it will be posted to my YouTube so make sure to check it out there along with a bunch of other content!
