{"ops":[{"insert":"Hello!\n\nFor my submission I wanted to harken back to the format and the deck that I was taught to play magic with back in 2017. This deck is the newest and bougiest version of 5 color humans in Modern. The idea of the deck is simple, swarm the board with powerful value creatures until your opponent (and playmat) are drowning with humans. This deck boasts the classic value pieces including Thalia's Lieutenant, Champion of the Parish, Kitesail Freebooter, and more! The elevation comes in with cards such as Eowyn and Jirinia to make even more humans and make them hit harder! The heart of the deck is a small curve that will crush your friends with value and power.\n\nThanks all: "},{"attributes":{"link":"https://archidekt.com/decks/8311529/july_submission_2024_5c_humans"},"insert":"5 Color Humans"},{"insert":"\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"This is an awesome prompt, and one that’s been on my mind for bit with the release of MH3. My favorite Legacy deck is the classic Oops! All Spells and its cousin Charbelcher, but up until MH3 there just weren’t enough MDFC’s to make a functional deck. Sure you could try 5 color, but good luck ever casting anything. Now, with 27 MDFC’s available for a 3 color deck, it’s on the verge of playable. With so few lands and the combo-centric nature of the deck, a cEDH style build made the most sense, as fast mana and free interaction does wonders to make up for nothing but tapped lands. \nOf course, the deck’s main goal is to win with Balustrade Spy/Undercity Informer/Hermit Druid into a flashback Dread Return targeting Thassa’s Oracle, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t also include Goblin Charbelcher and various ways of finding it. \nPicking a commander to helm the deck was the biggest challenge, as it needed to be at least Dimir to support the combo, but the third color was tough to chose. Green for Hermit Druid, or Red for Underworld Breach? I ended up settling on Green as Druid felt more true to the deck, but that left me with which creature to put in the command zone. The decks this is based off don’t play any legendary creatures, so I ended up with Tevesh Szat + Simic Partner as his ability to make Thrulls to sac to Dread Return or convoke Chord of Calling is incredibly helpful, and Thrassios is just generically good. The rest of the deck is pretty standard TNT shenanigans, but you’re always winning the game with either Dread Return or looping Charbelcher. \nThanks for reading, hope you enjoy!\n"},{"attributes":{"link":"https://archidekt.com/decks/8308123/oops_all_spells_dank_bass_boost_remix"},"insert":"https://archidekt.com/decks/8308123/oops_all_spells_dank_bass_boost_remix"},{"insert":"\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I don't know much about competitive Magic, but I saw a video about 12 Post decks a while ago that I really liked, and MH3 had some new support for Locus lands, so here's my best shot at a 12 Post inspired EDH deck with Omo, Queen of Vesuva! As far as I can tell, 12 Post decks enable big mana strategies with Cloudpost, and that's what this deck is trying to do also. It's a lot harder to achieve a big beatdown win with this strategy in EDH, so I made a simic land-value deck that can close out games with an army of clones, big Eldrazi, and good ol' fashion value. Omo lets you put counters on opponent's lands as well, which can power up Cloudpost, and the deck is full of effects that tutor any land. This deck can also \"power up\" to the table a bit with all the clone effects it's running. Hope you all like it! \n"},{"attributes":{"link":" https://archidekt.com/decks/8307224/12_post_inspired_deck_for_july_contest"},"insert":" https://archidekt.com/decks/8307224/12_post_inspired_deck_for_july_contest"},{"insert":"\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"For my deck I choose to build around the deck "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Death's Shadow"}},{"insert":". While this "},{"attributes":{"link":"https://archidekt.com/decks/8307134/knocking_on_deaths_door"},"insert":"deck"},{"insert":" is Esper it has the same spirit as the original modern Grixis deck. That is to get your life total down as fast as possible to use the powerful 1 drop. Our deck is lead by "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Bane, Lord of Darkness"}},{"insert":", which also benefits from our low life total and acts as a way to \"recur\" our Death's Shadow all be it not reliably. Which is why we are also running cards like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Lurrus of the Dream-Den"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Phyrexian Reclamation"}},{"insert":" the latter of which also helps lower our life total. Similar to the modern deck we are running multiple fetch and shock lands to lower our life totals, along with them we are also running MDFC cards that have a bolt land on the backside to aid in that mission. While the land count may look low at 33 we are also running 10 MDFC that can be played as lands. Now to the game plan. 1. Get our life total below 13 as fast as possible with cards such as "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Peer into the Abyss"}},{"insert":", and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Vilis, Broker of Blood"}},{"insert":". 2. Make a bunch of tokens either slowly with "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Bitterblossom"}},{"insert":" or all at once with "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Secure the Wastes"}},{"insert":" . 3. Turn them all into Death's Shadow with "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Mirrorweave"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sakashima's Will"}},{"insert":", and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Nanogene Conversion"}},{"insert":". One cool interaction to note with "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Mirrorweave"}},{"insert":", and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Nanogene Conversion"}},{"insert":" is that your opponent's creatures also become "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Death's Shadow"}},{"insert":" which means if they are not below 13 life all their creatures will die. Lastly to survive at such a low life total we are running a bunch of ways that \"cheat death\". Cards such as "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Angel's Grace"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Stunning Reversal"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Worship"}},{"insert":", as well as "},{"insert":{"card-link":"The Book of Exalted Deeds"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Mutavault"}},{"insert":" combo.

At this moment in my life I was still in middle school, having just started playing the game so influential to my childhood. Fast forward to high school and I transitioned into an Azorius Control player. In truth, I'd always used blue since I started playing as I enjoyed using counterspells, but I was mainly a Rakdos player when I began. Pairing Walls with Azorius Control allowed me to control all parts of the field even better than before. The only problem was that my win condition took too long to occur most times. I focused on milling out with "},{"attributes":{"link":"https://scryfall.com/card/rtr/37/doorkeeper"},"insert":"Doorkeeper"},{"insert":" which, while effective, didn't always play out how I wanted it to. That's when the magic of EDH was brought to my attention. Having forty more cards would allow me to better structure my deck and create a better win condition.
