Modern Jammer Deck

Here is a Modern Jammer deck I built just to give them a try.  I had a limited number of cards available and just threw this together before GameHole Con.

Dockyard x3

Endless Corridor
LaGrange Four
Manufactured Island x3
Martyr’s Tomb x2
Temple of Celestial Mercy
Tiger Leaping Gorge
Valley of Ashes

The main thought was to get out a Machine Warrior and have lots of tech cards available to feed to it.  Temple of Celestial Mercy and Software Pirates were here to help with the card flow.  Ideally more Salvages should be in this deck too.  

 

In the game I played, Kitty was a star primarily because of being Unstoppable.  One of the other decks was a Hand Toughness deck.  She really messed up that deck.  Yul was also a highlight.  He cooked up free Punks and a Manufactured Island in his lab.  The final winning cards were Kitty with an Electo-Gauntlet that charged for a couple turns.  She then attacked with the Algernon Effect for the win. 

Modern Dragon Deck

So here is the Modern format Dragon deck that I built.  It was made with just Combat in Kowloon and Reloaded cards along with promos.

Whirlpool of Blood

This deck basically is Open a Can of Whupass and Back For Seconds for making a really buff Character and attacking with it twice.  I personally like Shang Bojing in this deck.  When he opens a can for 13 Fighting with Guts, it goes pretty far.  But in one game, I was even able to take out an early Great Wall using stunt driving Junkyard Boys with a can and coming back for seconds to finish it off.

When I built this deck, I found it was really unfortunate that the CiK deck was a vehicle deck and the best character in Reload was the Big Bruiser.  This anti-combo really limits the deck building options for Dragons.  For the foreseeable future all Modern Dragon decks are going to revolve around the Big Bruiser.  This deck certainly uses him, but does not rely exclusively on him. 

With the two new sets available, I need to put in some Fortune Favors the Bold, Heroic Bloodshed, and Fighting Spirit cards.
