With the pre-release happening this weekend I wasn't sure that I would be able to find any interesting decks to talk about. Then I looked at exactly one deck from one daily event and was immediately proven wrong. If you're looking for a budget deck to get into Modern with, then this one might be about as cheap as they come. I don't know how good it is exactly, but it has 4-0'd at least one daily.
"_KG's Mono Green Stompy
Some of the slots are a bit strange to me. Aspect of Hydra looks a little cute and Gather Courage is possibly worse than Mutagenic Growth. I also don't know why Natural End is worth the slot, but the deck at least has a consistent plan and some strong features for the metagame.
Dryad Militant does some Snapcaster Mage and Pyrmancer Ascension hosing, and Dismember gives your Stompy deck outs to Splinter Twin combo. Scavenging Ooze and Obstinate Baloth are great against both burn and a few random things, those being graveyard decks and discard respectively.
This is the first time that I've seen this tried in Modern, and as such as far as I know the deck has never lost a match. Whether it's real or not I don't know, but it looks like a strong budget option and might actually just be great.
This deck has been around for a little while. There’s a couple people in my local meta running it and it’s pretty damn impressive for how cheap it is. Top 4s every other FNM typically. I’ve played against it using my Grixis delver list and it usually is a flat out race. Dismember as their only removal spell is good for me since letting them pay four life to run it into a counter spell is fantastic.
It probably just loses to Tron, but I can definitely see it having a lot of close matchups and a number of favorable ones.
