Coming in at #9 is a card that I more regret not brewing with as much as I did. The card just screams value at four mana, evasion, card draw and possible life loss to your opponent. Helloooooo Duskmantle Seer!

After unsuccessfully brewing a Waste Not and Master of the Feast deck combined with Duskmantle Seer (the idea being make your opponent draw cards to Mind Rot away) I headed back to a more aggro build with the early Blue fliers for a tempo type deck. Here is what I came up with:

Duskmantle Aggro

Basically I wanted a good mix of early threats to get in incremental damage, followed up with moderate control and a heavy finisher in the form of Duskmantle Seer. The thing I like about this deck is that is basically has answers to everything but Supreme Verdict as countering Anger of Gods, Mizzium Mortars, and Drown in Sorrow is pretty easy after establishing board presence. This deck is also quite capable of racing other aggro decks and has plenty of tricks through Rapid Hybridization and Hour of Need.

Oh and for those of you who are interested, here is my failed Waste Not deck:

Failed Waste Not

The problem with this deck is that I continued to die to top decks. Getting rid of your opponents hand was easy. I even had some “God Draws” with Waste Not into triple Thoughtseize, emptying my opponents hand only to watch him draw a Nissa, Xenagos, Polukranos in three turns. I did manage to land the Whispering Madness + Notion Thief combo which did lead to an early concession by my opponent. For those of you interested in a working Waste Not deck, stay tuned for my modern Waste Not storm deck coming soon!
