Topic: [Modern] Melira Pod

I've been fascinated with this deck ever since I first saw it in action, so I decided to take a shot at building one for myself. I'd appreciate any and all feedback this community can offer! big_smile

The deck: http://deckbox.org/sets/591966

In particular, I'm not sure what to do with the sideboard.

Re: [Modern] Melira Pod

Bump. Also, I recognize that Deathrite Shaman has been banned, but I'm going to leave it in the list for the moment... At least until I've updated my inventory.

Re: [Modern] Melira Pod

Bump.

Re: [Modern] Melira Pod

Looks solid not sure theres much to improve on other than swapping Deathrite for something big_smile

Maybe something like 1-2 Elves of Deep Shadow and a Wall of Roots or 2?

I've been trying to decide what would best fill that slot... I'm thinking Arbor Elf would work nicely, especially considering I can't really afford Noble Hierarchs.

Re: [Modern] Melira Pod

I kind of like Wall of Roots, especially since you're running 3 Chords (can use the WoR for mana, and tap for Chord on same turn). Just my two cents.

Page still says it is legal in all formats.

Re: [Modern] Melira Pod

Arbor elf is another one of those cards that would be pretty clinch with Shocks. But Elves of Deep Shadow or Avacyns Pilgrim may be better as a way of manafixing (Since you'll have green for the elves either way right? but you may need 1/2 mana of another color.)

Edit: A Dryad Arbor or two wouldnt be remiss either...

The Deckbox listings have yet to be fully updated regarding the format changes.  For instance, if you do a search for all standard legal cards at the moment I don't believe it pulls up BNG.  Similarly, the banning of Deathrite and legalization of Wild Nacatl and Bitterblossom likely have not been updated as of yet.  I'm assuming Sebi is aware of this and it working to resolve the matter and if not, I can let him know.

The updated Banned list reflects the format changes.
