Hi there,
I played my first Modern tournament last weekend going 4/0/0 with Living End.
I beat G/b Pod, Jund and 2x Counter Cat (the version of Pro Tour Philly).
This is what I ran:
3 Jungle Weaver
4 Valley Rannet
4 Deadshot Minotaur
4 Monstrous Carabid
4 Street Wraith
//19 Cycler
4 Violent Outburst
4 Demonic Dread
//8 Cascade
3 Beast Within
4 Shriekmaw
4 Fulminator Mage
//11 Removal/Disruption
3 Living End
//3 End
4 Verdant Catacombs
2 Forest
1 Mountain
1 Swamp
1 Stomping Ground
4 Copperline Gorge
4 Blackcleave Cliffs
1 Blood Crypt
1 Overgrown Tomb
//19 Lands
//SB
4 Kitchen Finks
4 Ingot Chewer
3 Mindbreak Trap
2 Dismember
1 Dryad Arbor
1 Beast Within
The deck seemed pretty well positioned in an aggro centered metagame. Only Countercat is postboard a though MU, as they get counterspell to complement their fast clock.
The deck does completely roll to combo and I don’t really know how it matches up against control decks but it does beat up aggro and non-blue midrange decks pretty handily.
Has anyone of you any advice for the SB? The maindeck felt really solid but I was often struggling to find relevant cards in the board. Especially for the CounterCat MU.
