    Re: Grand Architect

    I had been toying with a Blue Devotion build previously that ran Master of Waves and even had Treasure Mage to search up Sharding Sphinx and went real big with a single Blightsteel Colossus....

    Re: Grand Architect

    Blue Steel does seem like the optimized Grand Architect build for the moment. It's powerful, but kind of a glass cannon. It vomits its hand into play and can lock opposing players out, but if you...

    Re: Grand Architect

    I think I found a pretty reasonable card for the versions that are running Lodestone Golem and/or Chalice of the Void; that being Architects of Will. Its cycling ability is a turn one play, something...

    Re: Grand Architect

    The problem with Heartless Summoning isn't Ballista, it's with Pili-Pala, as it just kills it.

    Since we're really brainstorming here and Master of Etherium was mentioned above, that reminds me of...

    Re: Grand Architect

    If you're playing Master Transmuter, I would strongly consider Phyrexian Metamorph. My initial builds of the Heartless Summoning/Grand Architect played multiple copies of Metamorph, as my primary...

    Re: Grand Architect

    I run a Trinket Mage and some trinkets in the board. I've thought about Chalice of the Void, but it seems like a card that is really only worth running if you're going to play x4 or if you start it...

    Re: Grand Architect

    Hi all. I've still been jamming my Heartless Architect deck on MTGO with mixed results. A semi-current version of my list is at the end of page 1. I'm not on the Pili-Pala combo, as it just seemed...

    Re: Grand Architect

    I finally built a version of Heartless Architect on MTGO and have been running it through a bunch of matches in the practice room. Here's my current list:

    Re: Grand Architect

    I agree. Myr was good in Standard, but Tarmogoyf and friends make Modern a much more hostile world.



    I had considered Trinket Mage, but didn't really want to run any trinkets in the main. So, I...

    Re: Grand Architect

    The Urborg was mostly to avoid taking pain from Underground River and to possibly facilitate some sideboard cards, but it's probably not needed. The reason I included so many black sources despite...

    My original "Heartless Architect" list for reference:



    I'm thinking of making the following changes:

    -1 Sundering Titan - while potentially game-winning, I feel that there are enough...

    Re: Grand Architect

    I'm becoming more solidified in my opinion that the Pili-Pala combo is NOT what you want to be doing. The card is just so terrible outside of the combo and trying to force the combo just makes your...

    Re: Grand Architect

    I've been contemplating yet another Architect build. After debating about whether or not Lodestone Golem deserved a slot in the deck, I thought about the idea of making more of a prison build. I also...

    Re: Grand Architect

    That's a good question; one that I've asked myself repeatedly. There are a few strikes against Lodestone Golem.

    1) Lightning Bolt is the most commonly played card in Modern. Unlike Legacy MUD,...

    Re: Grand Architect

    I really like Grand Architect and have been looking at brewing a Modern list incorporating it. The combo with Pili-Pala is cute, but I think it might be a trap, as Pili-Pala is pretty terrible on...
