It’s a bit easier to Surgical Dredge’s enablers than all of their threats, as you only have to Surgical Stinkweed Imp, Life From the Loam, and Golgari Thug, compared to Narcomoeba, Bloodghast, Conflagrate, and Creeping Chill. Use Surgical Extraction on all of the Dredgers. Save Surgical Extraction for Conflagrate.ī. Make sure to play around your opponent fetching and triggering Bloodghast to bring back Prized Amalgam after you flip Thing in the Ice. Play Thing in the Ice and flip it to try and push lethal damage through. For Game 1, in really no order, our game plans are:Ī. We have a few different game plans vs Dredge. Modern Dredge by Abe Corrigan Creatures (18) I’m just gonna use Abe Corrigan’s list from SCG Philadelphia to give an example of what the lists usually look like. Let’s get to the breakdown of some of the more popular matchups in Modern at the moment. It is likely that overall it doesn’t really matter which one you play, though, so it’s mostly up to personal preference. This allows you to maximize information and make the best possible choice, while sacrificing a little bit of flexibility due to it being a sorcery. Sleight of Hand enables the deck to be a better combo deck while also being better than Opt in the late game as it allows you to see more cards. The most notable difference in my build is the inclusion of Sleight of Hand over Opt. So let’s talk about this list compared to some others you might see. This is my current list and what I will most likely be playing at SCG Cleveland this weekend: Modern Izzet Phoenix by Austin Collins Creatures (11) The cantrips also provide a strong late game as you can filter out (and I’m not exaggerating here) every bad card you draw via Faithless Looting.
The deck plays twenty cantrips, many of which see multiple cards, making it incredibly likely to deploy Arclight Phoenix during the very early turns of the game or lead to explosive combats steps on turn three with Thing in The Ice.
What makes Izzet Phoenix so powerful is how consistent the deck is. I plan on playing this deck in all of my future Modern events going forward as the deck is the most powerful thing to be doing in the format. I managed to win SCG Philadelphia with it last month, finshing with a strong record of 15-2-1. Izzet Phoenix, or “Birds” as I like to call it, is an incredible good deck that has been dominating Modern since the printing of Arclight Phoenix.
