In a recent blog post, I talked about what decks I’ve been playing in Modern. For the record, I am aware that I just linked to a post just two posts lower than this one.

The idea here is devastatingly simple. You use Outsiders crazy good bounce effects like Owen Mercer, Recruiting Drive, and Booze Elementals along with their great team attack cards and then combine them with the SHIELD Agents burning capabilities. Trust me, it’s better than it looks.
