Modern XBlade deck

Modern XBlade is a deck that utilizes many powerful equipment alongside cost-efficient creatures and removal. There are numerous color variations of these midrange decks, but the most popular are Bantblade and UW (see Cawblade deck). Noble Hierarch, Knight of the Reliquary, Tarmogoyf and Geist of Saint Traft are at the core of most 'blade decks. Naya and BUG builds are also viable, but most of the time are much less dedicated to the sword strategy.
