I'm playing Naya Burn at the moment, and I'm building Affinity.
I have Tron built but I honestly don't enjoy playing it all that much.
I'm gonna go and get myself another Ugin and All is dust

>playing
Nothing
>building
Nothing
>karn
I just come here to complain about tron, because it's always a really boring matchup in MTGgoldfish Against the Odd's Videos.

>Oh look, the opponent got turn 3 karn again!

The one exception to this is when Seth had commandeer in hand. That was hilarious, and something every tron player deserves to have happen to them over and over and over again.

Fuck tron.

That's so diabolic I'm gonna go for it.

Thanks user!

>playing
Lantern mostly sometimes Naya Burn

yes i play him in every format hes legal

Damn, it is aggro heavy unfortunately. It's nothing but Delver, Eldrazi, Merfolk, Naya Burn, and Dredge. Not sure what to do.

Maybe post a list first what you're using in your deck?

Implying you don't run the Mindslaver lock mobo U tron.

>what are you playing

Angel's Grace Control primarily and some Karn Tribal on the side. Not really that crazy about Karn Tribal, its ok, but not nearly as fun as Angel's Grace Control.

>What are you Building

Considering making Titan Shift, it seems like a fun deck that suits my play style. I tend to enjoy combo decks.

>Seth had commandeer in hand.
which video was this?

Nah, the U-Tron deck I had built was one based on Possessed Portal/Spine of Ish Sah/Trading Post shenanigans, as I already had all of the cards except for the Expedition Maps (which I decided to pick up). mtggoldfish.com/articles/budget-magic-93-20-tix-modern-trading-post-tron

>trading post

That brings back memories of making the shittiest mono W tron some years ago.

>Elspeth Suns Champion
>value white spells and artifacts
>trading posts which I call goat posts
>goat posts because I managed to beat couple of people with 2/3 flying goat tokens
>their faces when

It was a shit brew, but beating people with 2/3 flying goat tokens was the most fun I had with magic.

Ula's temple
Match 1 I think

>>What are you playing?
Modern Enchantress
>>What are you building?
Something with Walking Ballista

My match up is 50/50 against Tron so not yet.

My only deck is Tron but I live in a poorfag country and I'm the only one in my city with a modern deck. Online isn't satisfying. Wat do.

Play online.

Make a casual deck to play with others?

That's what I did to play with friends and have fun instead of stomping their faces 24/7

Yep, ula's temple. One of the most satisfying matches of against the odds I've seen.

>What are you playing?
Anything goes. Last Friday I played Affinity. Week before that, it was Tron.

>What are you building?
Thinking of trying Cheerios next week.

>Have you accepted our Lord and savior Karn Liberated into your heart?
Whatever.

>legacy
Me too. Just went to a few small events. Went 2-1 with Eldrazi and 2-1 with D&T. I really dug D&T.

Just realised, wouldn't a mono U tron be better with Obelisk of Alara and some form of mana fixing like Prisms for end their games faster?

i play a mud tempo-like deck

Wut

Find a stupid mechanic you like and commit to it as hard as possible. Like a fungus deck, or a samurai deck, or something along those lines.

This is what I ment.

And is also on budget.

>samurai deck
Does anybody have that one shitters Samurai tribal deck that was posted here awhile ago?

I need a good laugh

No.

I know what cards you were referencing. I still remain confused.

>Mindslaver lock them
>get prism
>get obelisk
>proceed to bolt them each turn
>??????
>profit

>>Mindslaver lock them
Stop right there, that is literally all you need

Way too many resources. This is dumb.

Haven't played 'serious' Magic in a few years. Still have some RTR standard-era GW stuff left like Temples, Voice and Smiter. Anything you can do in Modern that's worthwhile with these cards?

I love the stompy beatdowns.

okay

you can play like GW aggro, it's like the same thing but with lingering souls and wilt-leaf liege

GW hatebears sounds like something you might enjoy

Keeping in mind these decks aren't very good

get gud

>Have you accepted our Lord and savior Karn Liberated into your heart?

I Ceremoniously Reject him

Hate Bears is fine, its nowhere near as good as Legacy DnT but its still a damn fine deck. Renegade Rallier lets you Strip Mine people even harder by recurring your GQs while Leonin Arbiter is out..

What's an enduring ideal deck? I run enchantress and can't fathom getting away with one card a turn.

My local meta is budget 8 rack, budget American control, and budget burn.

What fun, jank decks can I play and still win?

Once you cast ideal you set up some kind of prison with Form of the Dragon. It's not like normal enchantress.

Show your list or you're a liar: tappedout.net/mtg-decks/23-01-17-bantchantress/

No one plays my snowflake deck in this format.

How "Budget" are we talking here senpai?

>no starfield
>no throne

Do you even enchant son?

>Have you accepted our Lord and savior Karn Liberated into your heart?
Tron is a bye for Valakut :^)

>leonin arbiter. Dec
It's shit. The leonin gimmick is the only power it has

I wish enchantments that were brought back by Starfield would trigger Throne... sigh...

I played against an eternal dominion deck on MTGO. I was Martyr Proc and the board go to a position where neither of us could kill each other and we both had mistviel plains so no milling out either. There's no 'mutually agree to a draw' option on MTGO, so I had to play for 40 minutes just passing till he timed out.

Aether Vial flash Gimmicks are pretty good too.
Most decks only run like 4-5 basics, so even without Arbiter you can still GQ and Path people hard enough that you eventually out attrition them. And Aven Mindcensor works as a 5th Arbiter so its not like you have to mulligan 3-4 times to get a good hand.
Hell you can forgo the regular DnT route and play CoCo in the deck to make everything extra gay.

Does this have a home in any deck?

it has a home in _____the trash

Dude ive been trying to do that for a while now. Westvale abbey is pretty cool, ie sacrifice the goats to satan. Its janky and slow af

What is your plan for getting around Leyline of Sanctity/Ivory Mask?

I'm not sure Crack the Earth would work well in the deck, because your opponent can choose any permanent, even land, to avoid having to sack their protection against the Rack.

An idea that might work is to replace Crack the Earth with Smallpox, which would let you hit an opponent's land-creature-hand, but also include Haunted Plate Mail as an alternative win-condition that could skirt around smallpox.

Leyline doesn't protect against the Rack

Why would anyone play Ivory Mask over Leyline?

Huh, doing a little bit of research, you're right. The Rack doesn't say "target." That's weird.

Budget.

actually i like crack the earth and i like how umpredictable is, and if you don't like it it's a no-remorse discarding for the +1 of liliana

wait, derp, I meant their protection against discard, which would be their protection against the rack. You can't target them with your discard spells when they have Leyline of Sanctity/Ivory Mask out, so you still have to have a way to deal with that.

>Playing?
Jeskai ThopterSword, FourColor Gifts and Grixis Delver

>Building?
Legacy Recruiterless-Aluren

>Karn?
Fuck Karn.

my suggestion is to start playing an actual deck

Is putting Skaab Ruinator and Myr Superion into a bant CoCo shell too memey?

Superion is hilarious because you usually can cast it for {2}, or just tutor it. Ruinator is still a problem to cast sometimes, I would not put it in.

Chording for {2} against an attacking reality smasher is fun as shit.

Like "I can't afford khan fetches" budget

Don't bother

Don't bother paying a non-meta deck that can beat people's budget version decks?

I was asking what was a fun deck to shit on buffet versions of 8 rack and burn.

Probably budget Boggles

Haven't played since i was a kid, but i was cleaning my room, found this waaay under my bed.

I gave all my other cards away long ago, should i just throw this one out, or is it worth something?

Pic related, i looked it up on google images.

apparently so

o fuck

where can i sell this thing?

You can buy a home console with it. Congratulations.

eBay.

Any suggestions for improving this

What decks have been giving you trouble?

Which K-ON! should I sleeve Lantern in?

Burn and Tron but I feel like generally its too slow

He's a Tron star what do you expect.
Dropping one him turn 4 is pretty magical

Mindslaver lock IS the wincon. Why run a card that's only good when you've already won?

>He's a Tron star what do you expect.
i expect you to try to pay 8 mana for your 7 mana funwalker while i'm ghost quartering your tron lands.

>Dropping one him turn 4 is pretty magical
good luck i'm behind 7 phyrexian revokers.

>playing?
I just ported my legacy Elves to this heap of a format.

>building?
Nothing, as Modern is linear bullshit.

>Karn?
Not yet, but he's quite the liberal so who knows.

Nobody cares dude

I just took my Victimize/BuriedAlive/Gravecrawler/CulltheWeak/Zombie tribal deck and changed to modern.

>literally not a single grave tutor left besides Gifts Ungiven, im using doomed necromancer and zombify unless theres better modern return to play or tutor cards for graveyard

>Have you accepted our Lord and savior Karn Liberated into your heart?
Yeah he exiled my wallet. He's certainly good but I often play the Ceaseless hunger instead

No wonder dolphins want to fuck humans

I played a bit of hearthstone back at school, but I'm curious as to why the card in the OP's pic would be viable for tournament play?

Is that level of control normal in pro MtG?
