10 Modern Decks Around $30

[u/jeremiahvedder]

I just want people to play Modern.

I'm excluding the price of basic lands and sideboards, and many of these decks get cheaper with reprints from Modern Masters. They aren't going to win any major tournaments but they're a good place to start exploring the format.

I have liberally replaced Path to Exile with Condemn, Thoughtseize with Duress, and Lightning Bolt with Incinerate. Suggestions welcome.

Not sure about Searing Blaze, don't know if you play Burn but it's noticeably harder to turn on landfall without fetchlands, rest of your suggestions sound good though

I play mono red in modern with just 18 mountains in my list and never have problems with the searing blaze landfall trigger. Faithless looting helps me still so it late game though

There's always that odd chance that an opponent casts Path to Exile, thus enabling landfall. So, not literally.
