This is probably one of my most favorite decks to play. The synergy between Flamewaker, Mana Wyrm, Sorcerers Apprentice and all of the cheap spells make it easy to go off for 6+ damage every turn. All of the secrets in this deck give you some breathing room to keep going face on your opponent as well as pump up your Mana Wyrms.
Mulligan Strategy: Try to get a Mana Wyrm in your opening hand as well as some 1 drop spells or a Kabal Lackey with a Secret. Maybe its just me but it’s pretty easy to get a decent opening hand with this deck.
Today, I bring you the latest deck that I’ve enjoyed great success with, Bushwhacker Zoo. Since this is an aggro deck there isn’t much to explain as far as strategy goes. You use Lightning bolt, Lightning Helix, or Bonfire of the Damned to keep the board clean on your opponent’s side and then pump up your zoo with Reckless Bushwhacker and swing for the fences. Pretty simple right? I didn’t include a sideboard list (I usually don’t), but if you twisted my arm and asked me for some good options, I’d say that you’re probably going to want a couple copies of Ash Zealot in case you’re playing Dredge or any other deck that interacts heavily with the graveyard. Also, maybe a couple Deflecting Palms would be helpful in a mirror match or against Eldra-tron. I’d also include a Grim Lavamancer or two just to be able to have extra removal on hand. Finally, Glorybringer is the real deal if the game gets the midrange stages and you need a finisher.

Hiya gang! Today I’m going to share one of my personal favorite decks with you, Izzet Storm. I believe I first mentioned this deck way back in December of last year but have been constantly play-testing and tweaking it. I’ve brought it (in its current form) to a couple of modern nights at my LGS and have been happy with the results. This deck has a fairly simple strategy: play one mana cantrips, pump up your prowess creatures, or for faster victories, Nivix Cyclops, and swing for the fences. That’s not all though. You can also unlock Thing in Ice within the first or second turn of it hitting the battlefield for board-clearing shenanigans, or use Thermo-Alchemist like a Grapeshot. It’s a blast to play and even better, it’s fairly inexpensive to build.

Hey guys n’ gals, we’re back again to share this really neat Goblin tribal deck. This deck is explosive right out of the gate with the ability to drop three 1/1 goblin tokens on turn one and thirteen damage on turn two. How, you ask? Well, by using Kuldotha Rebirth. Ideally, a good opening hand will include one Rebirth, a “0” cost artifact like Ornithopter or Memnite, a couple mountains and a couple Goblin Grenades. Sac the artifact creature to Kuldotha Rebirth on turn one to get the three tokens. On turn two swing with all three tokens, and during the second main phase sac two of them to Goblin Grenades. Bam. Thirteen straight to the face.
