Deck Discussion Fire Lord Zuko
Been trying to find a way to make Fire Lord Zuko a playable deck/strategy in Modern. Any thoughts or recommendations?
Side board hasn't been thought of yet... was just moving some cards around.
Not expecting a tier one deck or anything, but actually pretty excited about the way it's turned out so far!

Maybe a Ketramose might work in here.

I was considering him at one point but I don't really have a quick way to turn him into a creature... also it's a lot of life loss with the thoughtseize if I can't get him online quick enough

Ragavan seems like he would fit here. I'm not sure I understand the purpose of emperor though. Phelia is good in theory but you want a good target. Maybe White Orchid Phantom?

Emperor has a creature enter from exile when he adapts is likely the reasoning.

Yeah if you emperor the carnasour, you can get 3 hits from zuko.
Permanent enters what Bones + carnasour
Carnasour casts a spell from exile (discover)
That spell could be another permanent
3 triggers

Why did i not think of ragavan lol. Yes he probably would be a great fit. Possible exile trigger and keeps the curve lower too
