Hey all! I am back for some sweet modern action. We are playing what’s been the talk of magic town for some time now. With the Commander spoilers coming out all anyone can think about are Cats, Cats, and more Cats!

Well… We did it. We cast cats, attacked with cats, and even won with cats. This deck was a ton of fun to play.
The biggest issue I saw was the deck just can’t be aggressive with a top end of Regal Caracal. There are too many other decks in the format doing what we were trying to do but in a better more efficient way. This is the main reason the weaker cards need to go. I still believe the top end of the deck can be strong in the modern format but just not in this shell.
I am really curious to see a more midrange take of the deck so it’s easier to utilize Regal Caracal and Brimaz. I am thinking about brewing up Abzan Cats next! The red was good for Bolt, Helix, and Ajani as well as needed for Wild Nacatal but I am thinking of revamping the deck and taking a new approach. Black would give us decent removal and we could still play a lot of the feature cards.
This won’t be the last time you will see me cating around!
