We were actually slated to have Standard at FNM tonight, but apparently lots of people were asking about doing a Modern Masters draft so the TO decided to do that instead. Which I had no complaints about. I ended up going 4-0 (8-2 game record).

Here's the initial build I ran. Most of the cards I had in my pool I ended up giving away since they were mostly from RTR block, so I don't remember exactly what I ended up with at the end of the night.

1 x Goblin Guide
2 x Mortician Beetle
1 x Scorched Rusalka
4 x Thunderous Wrath
1 x Pit Keeper
1 x Rakdos Signet
2 x Gnawing Zombie
2 x Mudbutton Torchrunner
1 x Entreat the Angels
2 x Pyrewild Shaman
1 x Kathari Bomber
1 x Traitorous Instinct
1 x Torrent of Souls
1 x Zealous Conscripts
1 x Corpse Connoisseur
2 x Grixis Slavedriver
2 x Rakdos Guildgate
2 x Boros Guildgate
1 x Crumbling Necropolis
1 x Plains
5 x Mountain
5 x Swamp


The Guide was a Pack 1 Pick 1, appearing in alongside a foil Blade Splicer (which never came back to me, but no real loss there). The Conscripts was Pack 2 Pick 1, and the Entreat the Angels was Pack 3 Pick 1 (which was both a hatedraft and also the only thing worth taking in the pack because it was lacking black-red cards and I hadn't drafted enough of other stuff to really splash outside those two; though when I saw I had two Boros Guildgates I decided it'd be funny if I could get an Entreat off in a game, either by Miracle or hardcasting, but I never saw it in any games the first two rounds and eventually took it out to replace with a Grisly Spectacle). I saw five Thunderous Wraths in total, but skipped out on taking one of them because I wanted Kathari Bomber for the sac synergy.

The Pyrewild Shamans were definitely the MVPs (MVCs?) of the deck. The largest Beetle I had was a 5/5. Several other players nabbed Penumbra Spiders, which were very fun to steal and subsequently sacrifice so my opponents couldn't get the token off of it.
