Card of the Week Poll #233: Dredge got a new toy

I'll take a stab at green storm for modern. Storm is pretty standard in terms of decklists, and they usually play strictly blue & red. I figured I would try to give them a reason to add green.

This is meant for Bogles, which can be found here.

It's not outside of the color spectrum of Bant, but Bogles appears to be a much more green-white focused deck.

Because Teferi, Hero of Dominaria control needed more ways to win.

"When in doubt, design a pauper card." This is meant to make Pauper tron highly incentivized to be a white-primary deck, e.g. like Rhystic Tron, and less green dependent. Getting Bojuka Bogs is a side benefit.

Its probably a bit strong for a modern common so I made it an old school card.

"Oracle text: Instant, Target creature gains hexproof and indestructible until end of turn. Put a card from your hand on top of your library."

So the first deck I thought of when I read this week's challenge was Delver in Pauper. Anyone who has played pauper knows that bolting the delver is the first and only priority for anyone facing one down and sometimes it would be great to be able to just flip that situation on its head. In current decks that usually just means counterspell, but I wanted to come up with something that could both protec while also setting up the flip. If push comes to shove it can also just be used to set up that delver flip.

I play Izzet Delver myself and I think that a couple of the commons from GRN spoilers could really push UB delver, but I think a Simic version could be really awesome.

Bogles is a Modern archetype, time to add some black to it. This would give the deck access to format staples like Maelstrom Pulse - and of course my upgraded Tormented Soul.

This is for Soul Sisters. So you can have double as must fun and life.

Spellslinger decks are pretty popular in EDH, but they're typically red and/or blue, since those are the two colors that care the most about instants and sorceries.
Here's a green and white spellslinger commander with a +1/+1 counter twist.

Would storm ever play green? I don't know, maybe, why the hell are you asking me? Ask inverness , they seem to have a better idea of what they're doing. Sarr is an alternative storm finisher with text engineered from Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder so that the +1/+1 counter rider carries over to storm copies. If you need to go a bit wider, you can give counters to Empty the Warrens tokens, or even to Baral if, say, you enjoy making suboptimal choices in games of Magic: the Gathering.

She is also probably hideously overpowered. More than usual, I'm calling in the feedback train this week. I can hear it chuffing on the horizon. It's coming for me.

For lantern control.

what is infect

I think this could be fun in Scapeshift, or Tron.

And with Ravnica just around the corner, I decided I'd love to see Death and Taxes expand to Orzhov colours, would be a really flavoursome faction and mechanic combo IMHO.

Brutal priests and consiglieres sending in the Blackguard Paladin Enforcers to crush any mages, citizens or skulls that fall out of line.

I also quite like that the card encourages wealth, having the coin/mana to keep up the beat down as your opponent continues to cast spells over the game.

Hard challenge! I designed this card for Hollow One. Though it doesn't synergise with Hollow One itself, it does with its enablers, such as a Faithless Looting, Goblin Lore, and especially Burning Inquiry, meaning it plays a similar role to Flameblade Adept. Synergy with looting might push it into , where it could go start using windfalls or wheels. It's also probably overpowered in delver, or any brainstorm deck, or storm, or any combo deck, and it's probably a nightmare in MTGO, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For Bant Spirits (modern). Black opens the doors to sideboard Lingering Souls (if not mainboard) plus other noncreature spells, and Vial flashing in Soulcager opens up some neat plays.

A green card for Affinity. Gets stronger when your opponents kill every other creature you control (as they're all artifacts), or when you use Arcbound Ravager's first ability.
