As we wait for Ravnica Allegiance to release in a few days, we are heading to Modern this week to play a deck that looks right at home in Standard: Metallurgic Drakes! One thing that people have asked for in the past is “Standard decks in Modern” videos, and while we aren’t really playing Standard Izzet Drakes, our deck today shares a lot of similarities with the Standard build, so if you own Izzet Drakes in Standard, you should be able to put Metallurgic Drakes together quickly and cheaply. The main plan of the deck is to overload our graveyard with cheap spells, play Enigma Drake and Crackling Drake, and hopefully beat our opponent down with one or two big attacks in the air. The “Metallurgic” part of the deck name comes from one of my favorite cards: Metallurgic Summonings. The enchantment provides us with some protection from graveyard hate by allowing us to make a bunch of small artifact tokens as we cast our cantrips, theoretically allowing us to go wide on the ground and steal a win through Rest in Peace or Leyline of the Void. Can Drakes work in Modern on a budget? Let’s get to the videos and find out!
