So when Phyrexian Scriptures was spoiled, I immediate thought to myself, maybe I can have fun with this in Modern. There were a few ways to manipulate counters on cards; Hex Parasite and Clockspinning came to mind, and if we were going to be in
anyway and, ostensibly playing with some artifact creatures, one of the two Tezzerets might be worth a shot?Anyway, right now I've sort have got a skeleton of an idea. I'm thinking maybe some sort of
control shell, but I'm sort of at a loos where to go with this thing to make it not bad.Creatures:
4 Hex Parasite
X Phyrexian Metamorph?
X Other Creatures?
Spells:
4 Clockspinning
4 Phyrexian Scriptures
X The Antiquities War?
X Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas or Tezzeret the Schemer? Maybe a mix of both?
Delay seems too cute to actually use.
Some number of numerous other spells?
1 x Fatal Push
1 x Inquisition of Kozilek
1 x Serum Visions
1 x Sleight of Hand
1 x Spell Pierce
1 x Spell Snare
1 x Swan Song
1 x Thoughtseize
1 x Mana Leak
1 x Damnation
Some mix of land:
Choked Estuary
Drowned Catacomb
Polluted Delta
Watery Grave
Island
Swamp
Is Darksteel Citadel too cute?
I'm really bad at control decks these days.....
