Based on people’s feedback on the Modern MBC deck I posted, there clear suggestion was to make the most of pox by adding Life from the Loam. I rebuilt the deck with this in mind, stealing heartily from some Legacy decks along the way. Here’s the list.
Modern Loam Harvest
| Creatures (5) 1 Eternal Witness 1 Shriekmaw 3 Tombstalker Instants (3) 3 Geth’s Verdict Sorceries (21) 4 Raven’s Crime 4 Smallpox 3 Wrench Mind 4 Life from the Loam 4 Maelstrom Pulse 2 Worm Harvest Planeswalkers (4) 4 Liliana of the Veil Artifacts (1) 1 Engineered Explosives Lands (26) 4 Verdant Catacombs 2 Forest 4 Twilight Mire 4 Swamp 4 Marsh Flats 4 Overgrown Tomb 4 Tectonic Edge |
Without the cycling lands the card draw is less powerful than in Legacy, but between the hand disruption and land destruction, it generally pans out okay. I’m certainly interested in exploring this archetype further, as you can sideboard into The Rock relatively easily with a transformative sideboard of Bobs and Goyfs.
Give it a spin, let me know what you think.
