Instant Deck Tech: Four Horsemen (Modern)


Instant Deck Tech time! It's Fishbowl Thursday, and today we're heading to Modern for a deck that's a port of an infamous Legacy brew: Four Horsemen. So what makes Four Horsemen infamous, I hear you asking? The combo it relies on is of questionable legality and has been know to be considered slow play because it doesn't actually advance the game state. The good is is the Modern build fixed this problem (or at least believes that it does, I'm not a judge) by incorporating Forbidden Orchard into its loop, so something is actually happening on the battlefield. Is Modern Four Horsemen actually legal to play in tournament and can it work? Let's discuss!

Don't forget, if you want to see this deck made into videos, you can vote by liking, commenting and subscribing to the MTGGoldfish Youtube Channel!

Mono-Red Prison is my all time favorite deck, but it's not very good in Modern anymore. The good news is that some new additions mean it's time to teach Arena zoomers about the archetype in Timeless!
