Red Green Land destruction Modern
I am listing this before someone takes credit for this. I have been playing MTGO online for a while with this deck (4-5 times a day) and have never seen any variation of this deck and now
apparently there are quite a few people playing it. In fact people have gotten annoyed at me online while playing this deck. It's wicked great against most decks in the modern format. Though It does struggle against pod lists (which as a group are probably the best decks in modern) esp with lists running 4 noble 4 birds and 2 wall of roots. You can replace shivan dragon. That is just a fun card for online play. The leatherbacks and deadbridges are boss.
The theory for you budget players is that you need to survive Goyf and outclass him. Spend your early turns destroying land and then lay a creature that can match up to him. The copious amounts of artifact destruction are for affinity and tron.

Re: Red Green Land destruction Modern
A few things:
1. This is for legacy decks. Yours is for modern. We do have a modern sub-forum however
2. Sorry man, unfortunately the GR LD deck isn't exactly hot new tech
3. Heres a forum post from February of last year of a list I played for a few weeks. Feel free to check it out: http://www.gatheringmagic.com/Forum/...p?f=53&t=34398

More Sweepers will help all your matches esp pod. Green is no longer where you want to be with the deck because your mana ramp plan can be destroyed by Pyroclasm and spot removal
I would never run less the 3 Anger the Gods.
Here is my list I have been tuning recently.
4 Stone Rain
4 Molten Rain
3 Lightning Bolt
3 Blood Moon
3 Hanwier Watchkeep
3 Wildfire
3 Thoughtseize
3 Surgical Extraction
3 Terminate
3 Talismen of Indulgence
3 Anger of the Gods
1 Hammer of Bogarden
4 Verdant Catacombs
4 Arid Mesa
4 Blood Crypt
4 Ghitu Encampment
8 Mountain
