Retro-Modern Magic

Who doesn't love a little mono-black zombie aggression? This deck does one thing and one thing only, put cheap zombies on the board, pump them with Lord of the Undead, Undead Warchief, and Bad Moon, and hammer your opponent before they get a chance to build a defense. The Side Board is still a work in progress and you may want to add Duress or Blackmail for some additional disruption. Vicious Hunger or Soul Feast for some life gain to keep you in the game and counteract some of the draining cards.

Old Frame Modern Winner! The Old Frame Community in Japan is awesome and they have some very cool decks! One of their most recent winners was 茶葉 (@_onakasuitan) , who took home the victory with this Black/Red thumper:  // Old Frame Modern GP4 Winner // Source: https://twitter.com/_onakasuitan/status/1041267053414367233 // 37 Maindeck // 7 Artifact 3 Fellwar Stone 4 Mind Stone // 15 Creature 4 Siege-Gang Commander 3 Nekrataal 2 Avalanche Riders 3 Gravedigger 3 Twisted Abomination // 2 Enchantment 2 Phyrexian Arena // 7 Instant 4 Lightning Bolt 3 Terminate // 6 Sorcery 1 Cruel Edict 2 Void 3 Wildfire Land Base and Sideboard is up to you! **See more here**

Just as the name implies, this deck is designed to disrupt your opponent with discard and destroy most any threat that hits the board. Terminate is the most efficient removal card in the format and has some pretty sweet flavor as well (if you aren't familiar with Darigaaz, you check out some of his cards here ). Grim Lavamancer and lots of instants/sorceries help you ping your opponent or control the board. Hypnotic Specter usually hits for 2 plus a random discard, using your removal to keep the skies clear. Faceless Butcher and Soul Collector remove additional threats then swing away with Rathi Dragon or Nantuko Shade. Did I mention Rathi fuels the Lavamancer? It does. Browbeat gives you cards or takes big chunks of life... hard not to like that. The sideboard has a saucy mix of disruption and hate. Nothing like dropping a mid/late game Mutilate or Void then play Haunting Echos to wipe out their threats. All around, this deck is fast or grindy and offers lots of a...

Modern Tron is pretty obnoxious, but Retro-Modern Tron is pretty fun! Assembling the Tron lands can only be done by drawing or with Weathered Wayfarer, so you have to play your early hand carefully. There is extra support and life gain in the Starlight invoker and Wall of Essence. If need be you have some mid-range white to keep the board even until you get drop your Colossi. Voltaic Key keeps things fluid and Chromatic Sphere, Mind Stone, Howling Mine, and Bandage help you dig for whatever you need. The sideboard is a work in progress but should help give you some ideas.

This seemingly odd smattering of cards ends up being a fairly potent force if harnessed correctly. Essentially, it is a lock deck where you assemble tron, then use your extensive amounts of mana and draw to be able to go a full cycle with Magistrate's Scepter every turn using Voltaic Keys. At that point, you can beat down your opponent or pick them apart by reloading Triskelion with Dragon Blood. Weathered Wayfarer helps you find tron pieces as needed and the rest of the deck is designed to control and outlast your opponent or draw cards. Glorious Anthem pumps your weenies and keeps Mindless Automation on the board after you have drained it for a draw. If you end up with too many Howling Mines you can turn them off with Icy Manipulator or use the excess draw to pump Mindless Automation if you need the beats. With tron and a Key on the board Dragon Blood actually can swing the board. Wall of Essence and Wrath of God are big sideboard pieces if y...
