Power Level: High Potential
Decks listed in this section are ones that feel reasonable to me after playing them, but have yet to put up consistent finishes at large Modern events. These are decks that with good play and possibly more tuning I believe could eventually slide into the proven decks of the format with a few good event results.
This is a mostly Red Control deck that looks to use ramp like Mind Stone to play controlling threats like Glorybringer ahead of curve to take over the game.

This is a midrange combo deck that looks to stabilize against aggressive decks with Wildgrowth Walker and explore creatures. Our combo kill utilizes Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose in conjunction with Revival / Revenge to drain our opponent’s life total out in one turn.
This is a three color combo deck that looks to fill the graveyard with enchantments like Prodigious Growth and Ancestral Mask and then create a big attacker with our namesake Storm Herald.
This is a four color control deck that looks to generate card advantage and utility with its namesake Enigmatic Incarnation. We utilize the companion Yorion, Sky Nomad to blink our various enter the battlefield cards for additional value.
This is a midrange deck with an aggressive slant that looks to leverage tribal Goblin synergies with cards like Goblin Piledriver, Goblin Chieftain, and Goblin Ringleader to win games. While this deck can definitely end the game quickly on occasion the toolbox nature of Goblin Matron and the card advantage provided by Goblin Ringleader gives it a lot of staying power into the mid and late game.
This is an aggro control, or “tempo” deck. It looks to apply pressure with evasive threats like Spell Queller, while disrupting with efficient removal like Lightning Bolt and Path to Exile.
