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). <c>Noble Hierarch</c>, <c>Knight of the Reliquary</c>, <c>Tarmogoyf</c> and <c>Geist of Saint Traft</c> 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.
