Current Modern Metagame

What are your thoughts on Chinese counterfeit cards?

Ordered some last week. Hoping to play them in tourneys

Making modern great again

got some recently, indistinguishable in double sleeves.

Don't need them, own every card I need :)

Lazy but it beats just printing out paper and saying you own that card like someone in my group.

>Playing
Affinity because it was relatively cheap for me to acquire
>Brewing
Its modern, everyone just copies top decks anyways with maybe 2-3 jank additions.
>Next MTG Purchase
EDH stuff

It's fine. As long as someone's not trying to sell/trade them away as legit, I have no problem playing against or with counterfeits.

>Mana Tithe in modern
>Force Spike still MIA

Come on Wizards.

Just dont trade them for real cards

Wann to order some but after the stoneman disaster I'm hesitant.
Please keep us updated how it worked out.
Where did you order from? Pics?

>Playing
Jund
>Brewing
Reanimator
>Next purchase
Playset of deltas

When cardboard sees its price inflated to literal hundreds of dollars, counterfeits become a necessary evil just to make the game affordable.

Lazy and for plebes. Even a burgerflipper can buy into a Modern deck.

Youre supposed to use creatures user, judges familiar is close enough and much fairer. Stop trying to opress your opponents.

>Implying that the people who pay more for something they can get at a fraction of the price are the lazy plebs

If I buy counterfeits, I can very likely get two or three dozen decks or more for the price of a single "real" deck, and no one will notice or care enough to notice.

I never get tired of baneposting for whatever reason.

how many boxes of eternal masters should i get

Two just to be safe

I did a cube draft recently. Black-green spider lifegain deck is now our groups in joke meta, along with zombie fish

sounds good thanks bro, just ordered them

>Jund
>Gifts, BTL, Loam, can't seem to get anything good enough to work.
>Some more fringe sideboard cards to test

As long as you aren't trading/selling them as the real thing, I don't really mind.


Modern still has the largest pool of random brews and rogue decks, I still get to play something new every once in a while.

Making a NB budget Burn deck. Do I need Grim Lavamancer? If I don't I can go Mono red color base. I want to splash white later.

Fuck why are fetches so expensive.

Goblin Guide also what the FUCK. I need good fakes ASAP. Usually I can buy a card at a time. FUCK.

Bloodstained mire and wooded foothills aren't expensive at all. Even the good version.

Why would Grim Lavamancer prevent you from going mono-red? Fetches give it extra fuel, sure, but even without them it's still turning your previously used burn spells into Shocks.

I dunno. People tell me not to use him if not running fetches.

Sounds dumb. Post your list so far?

If you're also running Searing Blaze, use fetches.

This will be the final list but without the fetches and goblin guide because fuuuuuck.

4 Arid Mesa
2 Bloodstained Mire
4 Boros Charm
4 Eidolon of the Great Revel
4 Goblin Guide
2 Grim Lavamancer
4 Lava Spike
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Lightning Helix
4 Monastery Swiftspear
3 Mountain
4 Rift Bolt
3 Sacred Foundry
4 Scalding Tarn
3 Searing Blaze
1 Shard Volley
2 Skullcrack
2 Stomping Ground
2 Wooded Foothills

1 Ancient Grudge
3 Deflecting Palm
4 Destructive Revelry
3 Kor Firewalker
3 Path to Exile
1 Smash to Smithereens

Might want to consider Atarka's Command for the mainboard, and almost certainly Molten Rain for the sideboard. If you're running 4 Destructive Revelry, you probably don't need Smash or Ancient Grudge either.

>how many should i get
>many should
>should

You mean 'can'? Like it's printrun will be large enough to actually hit LGS shelves.

>>>Playing?
Grixis Control, Faerie Jank, Prison

>>Brewing?
Flicker deck with mainboard Hallowed Moonlight.

>>Next MTG Purchase?
Thought-Knot Seers and Eldrazi Temples

Rate my autist deck

why big daddy jace?

Assemble the Legion as MB Finisher? That's some jank tech right there. I like it

Wishful thinking.

Playing uw titan control at gpla. I could play better decks but the heart wants what the heart wants.

A friend of mine lost to AtL in a gpt top 8. Not many decks can deal with it easily especially mainboard.

>What are your thoughts on Chinese counterfeit cards?
Glad I can put everything together so that I don't have to resort to that.

Also, fuck anyone trying to pass them off as real. Anyone doing that should get stabbed.

>YOU GOT YOUR PIECES OF CARDBOARD FROM THE WRONG PLACE, YOU DESERVE TO DIE

This is what mental illness looks like.

Resto-Kiki is one of my favorites. I played it about a month ago.

Oops. I meant: Fuck anyone trying to pass them off as real in a trade. Anyone doing that should get stabbed.

Lets me play all the Tier 1-3 decks for less than the price of legit Jund, so I fucking love it.
If WotC had less cancerous business practices, I wouldn't at all mind buying their product. That isn't the case.

True, I've got one Underground Sea that's fake that I only use for playing Legacy at my LGS, but I wrote 'proxy' with a sharpie on the back so it would never end up in some poor schmuk's collection if I suddenly died or something.

Where do you get good fakes? I tried that one Asian dude and this is what he sent me as his best

I'm willing to pay real money for cards as long as it's not silly expensive. Goblin Guide is silly expensive.

None. Buy a good box, like MM1. Or don't be a dumbass and buy singles instead.

>yfw you wrote on the wrong one

How would he do that? The fakes are obvious :^)

Lol. It's true. I tried ordering these fakes at 3.75 a pop and they look so hilariously bad. These wouldn't fool anyone.

I've ordered from each of the stores on AliExpress, and the most believable one is Best Shopping Centre. They're less plastic-y and the color is much better.

I've put some of them in KMC Perfect Fit sleeves, so people are less likely to feel the actual card, and traded them. Pretty good bang for the buck.

>Playing?
valakut
>Brewing?
Ad Nauseaum, modern; lands, legacy
>Next MTG Purchase?
counterfeits

Anyone got a solid enchantress decklist for modern?

That user made one, then disappeared.

Counterfeits are so common here any card over 40 dollars and all fetch lands are taken out for testing even during casuals. It's really lame. I hate my scene. 99% of the time they can't decide if it's fake or not and hold a grudge, or if it's deemed fake that player is banned from the store for life. Fuckin' nerds.

>so common here
where is that?

You're just poor. No need to make excuses.

just bought some from based CHINAMAN Villa should be coming here monday c:

the only card i regret spending decent money on are goblin guides. user is right they are silly expensive.

Sideboard to the left of the tokens.

Nice op
Most fun card in modern

Been playing reanimator (basically grishoal without the combo, added blue), UR delver and Soul sisters which is pretty good in my store's meta. Not a lot of tron, collected chord and affinity everywhere.

I'd be surprised if more than 1 or 2 copies of jeskai crack the top 8's this week.

Why do this women try to ban my lewd playmats?? Why do they have to oppress me? FUCKING NORMIES RUINING MY GAME REEEEEEEEEEEE

pokeinthe.io/2016/05/19/offensive-playmats-in-magic/

It's offensive that you'd let Atago get that hurt you shit grat ttk

Can someone explain to me how in the hell Death and Taxes is tier 2? The deck just seems bad to me. The deck has a bad matchup to anything aggro, and it's missing like half the things that makes D&T good in legacy. Whats the decklist for it nowadays?

Honestly, this article was reasonable and well-written. I went in expecting the worst, and it wasn't too bad.

I know and expect there to be a level of social disconnect when I go to play a ccg with other grown men, but how often have you seen lewd shit like this at your lgs or events? Do weeaboos really have no shame?

On the one hand it does read like someone who places actual rules and regulations ahead of feels, which is good. It stands in stark contrast to the arguments a lot of the saltier players/bloggers on both sides sling around. On the other hand she's still getting a bit too far into "know it when I see it" territory in what constitutes "offensive", particularly given how vague the direction Judges get on this topic is.

Good taste in playmat choices thought.

A lot of them are socially defunct. They'll think that shit is fine and and if you ask them about their mat they'll sperg and start blabbing about their favorite animoo and who is best girl and which girl is shit

my legacy infect deck cost 30 bucks so I mean, It depends where you stand on your deck making skills, Makes me want to go to cardkingdom and wipe some fatties with it. you can win turn one with 15 damage infect

My captcha was cherrypie

Explain the turn 1/share decklist?

if the tread is still up I will post the full list as the cards at at my house and I am at the APT but it's mono green, with stuff like invigorate and vines of vastwood

I need to update the buff spells abut it runs Glistner Elf Ichor Claw Myr and Elvish Spirit guide for ramp

blinkmoth nexus and stuff, Mostly I fiegn mana ramping to make the opponent think I am setting up board but usually It's 1-3 lands one creature and 2 ramp spells
trample 10/10 infect at turn 3 will make you concede pretty fast.

Also the Phyrexian buff spells like mutagenic growth are very important to pulling as you are going to use your life in exchange for 4 of them and you've won

I can't edit my post so Sorry for the double

Hexproof booties are really important for haste and hexproof too by the way

>$50

why didn't you buy her, Veeky Forums?

also, get ready to SELL if she wins either GP this weekend.

because I don't gamble on Hasbro's Dollar.

accept you have lost money playing magic, just have fun dude.

>sell
no thanks, i want to play with the card instead of trying to jew out shecklez.

But I did. I got her when she was $10 like any sensible human being.
I also said she'd win a GP and reach $50 in one of these threads a while back.
I got laughed at.

yeah, someone did say that here

it's always like that, Pull cards people are following the popular opinion on and then don't think about the cards or even attempt to incorporate them into the meta instead they are left for the theory crafters and magic heads in the back rooms. then the Prices Go up but Only after the cards have suffered sufficient neglect will they be recognized as useful cards.

>I also said she'd win a GP and reach $50 in one of these threads a while back.
I've been spamming jeskai nahiri for a month and all these chumps laughed at me.
where are they now? probably buying nahiris for the gp.

what was the "Stone man disaster"

i had this playmat custom made for a long time

have not found a better custom made playmat for mtg

help?

4 bloodstained mire
4 wooded foothills
2-4 arid Mesa

There is no valid reason to run scalding tarns on a budget

Shame about what? Liking a cartoon? I play against people with waifu sleeves and lewd playmats in several card games and they tend to be the be the best opponents: courteous, well-mannered, and most of all fun. I realize this isn't everyone's experience but it's kind of ridiculous to me to shame people for no other reason than they like some Chinese cartoons from the 30s.

It's the overtness of the otherwise inherent sexuality in anime. It's one thing to have weeb sleeves like shown, but the bounds of societal decorum (I would argue) become somewhat infringed on when panty-clad pussylips are the most prominent thing on the sleeve or playmat. And I say this as the grown ass man weaboo prodigy of my lgs.

"I jack off to anime drawings" is usually not the first thing you say to someone. You bring waifu shit, that's the first thing you're telling people.

>not watching christian anime - in the year of Our Lord, 2016.

Maybe that's just how you feel because you're projecting your own insecurities and prejudices on them :^)

If it's basically porn then I understand, but I've never seen anything that sexual myself, the worst being girls in lingerie or suggestive poses and I don't see that as any weirder than pinups. Guess I've just got a good community.

I'll get a playmat with a gaped asshole on it then. Tell me how comfortable that makes you feel.

I don't really care about Moeshit sleeves and mats, but they give me the worst secondhand embarrassment

Post pics. I keep seeing relatively good fakes but nobody who claims to have bad fakes ever posts pictures.

We both in the two box club, my friendo works for starcity and is grabbing me two

>secondhand embarrassment
fremdscham

It's a good word.

I run this shit.

Needs to be modified for your meta, obviously.

I've got some horrible fakes.

The biggest problem is the color. Secondly, they feel like a poker card, or regular playing card. The thickness is only notable (bigger) if you're looking for it.

Some of the better ones I play with are still off, but look convincing on their own.

Love this nigga's art.

I don't hate your playmat because it's lewd or tasteless. I hate it because it looks like shit.

People with sleeves of anime girls embarrass you? Maybe you need to get some thicker skin.

I love how the moist pussy lips in the thumbnail look like a gaped butthole due to the shading

If I used "Cameltoe Chandra" or "Nissa & Tentacles" sleeves, would it be considered more acceptable or less acceptable for being MTG characters?

Agreed, kinda. I feel like they need to set down some more concrete rules about what can get sleeves/boxes/mats banned. On the other hand, I feel like a lot of people just need to stop being such victimized shitheads and get some thicker skin.
