I have been asked for a deck list or two for Modern that is focused around the card Monastery Mentor. Guess some people have them, i don’t at the moment but i plan to get some. Personally, i just feel like they are amazing in all formats. The fact there there isn’t already a ton of modern lists online floating around is a testament to how focused everyone is on other formats.
My head goes right to a red/white token list with a heavy burn sub theme.
4 Monastery Swiftspear
4 Young Pyromancer
4 Monastery Mentor
4 Path to Exile
4 Lava Spike
4 Collateral Damage
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Lightning Helix
4 Boros Charm
You could go a little more control like me i like Mardu control.
4 Young Pyromancer
4 Dark Confidant
4 Monastery Mentor
4 Bitterblossom
4 Thoughtseize
4 Path to Exile
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Lightning Helix
4 Lingering Souls
Even something a little more out of the box now that i have learned that one of my favorite cards “Disciple of the Vault” is legal. And attack from a few angles.
4 Memnite
4 Disciple of the Vault
4 Arcbound Ravager
4 Monastery Mentor
3 Tasigur, the Golden Fang
4 Mishra’s Bauble
4 Conjurer’s Bauble
4 Chromatic Star
2 Krark-Clan Ironworks
2 Trading Post
3 Bitterblossom
If it was me i would lean more towards the first deck at least until i knew that people were main decking a lot of token hate and even then i might just start to main deck more cards like Intangible Virtue and other anthem effects that are one sided.
Okay need to bounce, food before spring fling over on the twitch channel.
