Playin?
Hatin?
Buildin?

>Playing
Gx Tron, though i'm probably gonna sell it. Way more linear then i thought it would be when i bought it

>Hating
I was salty about infect before the git probe, now i'm alright

>Building
Naya Burn. That decks curve and flavor makes me rock hard

>OP pic related duh

>Whats the best removal in the format?
Path to Exile will pretty much always be #1, simply due to how versatile it is.

> Any that is lowkey spicy tech?
Forked bolt always got me some crazy value when I used to play it, but I'm pretty sure the meta has shifted enough that it's not nearly as good now.

>Think fatal push will make a sizable splash in modern?
It's a nice bit of supplemental removal for decks that can't run bolt, but it's not replacing anything.

>DAT Rebecca Guay art
Will we ever get more? The commander lands were nice, but not enough

Bump

>Whats the best removal in the format?
Lightning Bolt

> Any that is lowkey spicy tech?
Filigree Familiar as an alternative to Kitchen Finks

>Think fatal push will make a sizable splash in modern?
Yes, I've been very impressed by the card from what I've seen so far.

Early morning bump

>What is the best removal in the format?
Dispatch. Doesn't give them a land like Path and it can be splashed for with the help of Mox Opal.

>Lowkey spicy tech?
It's a secret.

>Think fatal push will make a sizable splash in Modern?
Of course. Takes out pretty much anything you could expect to see from BGx decks.

>Playing
Grixis Control, BGx, Skred Red, Zoo
>Hating
Tron, anything with Bridge from Below
>Building
A whole lot of jank. Mostly BR.

>PLAYING

Jund

>HATING

The Tron and UW Control players at my LGS that have made it pretty much impossible for me to 4-0 at FNM

>BUILDING

Nothing right now, might give Suicide Bloo a try if it ends up still being viable without Git Probe.

>Playin?

How did you lose to UW with Tron?

Would it be a good idea to brew a waste not mono black control deck?

Looking for more fun oriented modern deck, getting bored of tron.

Too much control

Mox Opal should be banned already.

It's bullshit that a strictly better card than OG moxen is legal in a format like Modern and is being abused by unfair and unfun decks like affinity or lantern.

>better than og moxen
>need you to dump your hand for that sweet mana
>played only in affinity and a trash deck


>GW tron
>Lose to control


literally what?? kys

Please, nobody respond. One thread already had to die

You're playing tron wrong then

Dude dont engage him

But it is strictly better, because it's rainbow and you want to dump all your hand anyways.

Don't defend this broken thing just because you play a broken deck.

Modern is no place for cards that should be limited in Vintage to begin with.

>broken deck
>not even tier 1
>broken

Do you play magic at all?

RIP thread. Btw blatant shitposting is a rules violation. Keep that shit to /b/

yeah no that's literally not what strictly better means they're not even flexible when it comes to the cards they have to come with. it HAS to come in with 1/1 and 0/2 0-drops to be broken

affinity just top 8'd a big tournament once in god knows how long. though i'd say i'd agree it's auto ban if combo decks abuse it

don't even need to discuss the other meme deck.

>affinity isn't tier 1

It would play those cards anyways and as far as these decks go, who play many artifacts anyways - Opal is a strictly better card than OG moxen for these decks.

Such a card must be banned from Modern.

found the frontier player

Fuck off. This shit already killed one thread. Why dont you, if you hate opal so much

>BAN OPAL IS BROKEN
>literally only one build to make it broken, with other trash cards


dude are you having a stroke?

tappedout.net/mtg-decks/27-01-17-esper-geist/

What y'all think? Sleeper? Jeskai and grixis had a baby. I don't need no bolt

Seems fun for an fnm. How are the big matchups?

This man is an imposter.
As someone pro Mox Opal banning the strictly better rhetoric is the giveaway.
It's like he's trying to force meme a narrative for the opposition's argument.
Someone said Mox Opal is strictly better than OG Mox in a context, it was clarified like 10 times and the buttmad muh vintage retards wouldn't let it go because they couldn't read.

Go home and be a family journalist for CNN.

Anyway, thoughts on Unlicensed Disintegration in Modern?

maybe fringe decks? unconditional removal is A++ but only aggro decks would really want the player damage and walkers besides LOTV aren't really popular in modern

K-command comes at the same price too

Costs too much for what it does

Context was that opal is strictly better. The "in modern" part makes even less sense. How can you have vintage power level in modern you can't storm off opal

enjoy your overpriced baby jaces

WhynotbothMexicangirl.jpg

Sometimes I brew BR midrange but the atrocious weakness to enchantments (namely Leyline of Sanctity) is sad.

Oh i did. Sold the three I opened for 80 bucks each. Can't believe tried that shit in legacy

In my BR shit brew I run zombie fish for beats and splash green for goyf and naturalize. Dammit jund why can't i escape you

Speaking of babby Jace how about him in Modern?

I think Grishoalbrand lists use him sometimes and for a while Grixis Control builds tried him out.
What else could be done with him?

Not much. He's not really that good when bolt kills him twice. Like you said, some lists run him, but i wouldn't splash for him or anything.

FREE MY BOY GGT

i've tried to brew BR midrange and every time I just end up with a worse jund

Looks like its for agro with the 3 extra damage, but its at 3 mana. So too much mana for an agro removal spell.

Hey, i was gonna post that pic! once dredge was brought up. Delete this!

I've been fucking around with him in a budget BUG deck that uses flip jace and lili last hope until snapcaster and lili of the veil get reprinted in MM17. He's alright, getting a walker back with lili is pretty cool, and he's real good with damnation and such, but unlike snap he kinda prices you out of playing countermagic so your blue is just for like thoughtscour and the fun-of mystic snek.

DREDGE IS ALWAYS BROUGHT UP. NO PEACE UNTIL MY BOY GGT IS FREE

Dies to removal and isn't Liliana. Unplayable.

I did it
I bought Nahiri jeskai
Amy tips?
Inb4 Play a good deck

Play a go...

Well played, user

Don't play against dredge.

Play a good deck. Honestly

>play a goo-

>Liliana -2's
>IN RESPONSE FETCH, THOUGHT SCOUR, TAP JACE
>welcometoquantumchess.jpg

>I bought Nahiri jeskai
that would've been a good decision
if it was made half a year ago

You're playing control in modern. Your deck choices and build have to be incredibly meta-dependant. What are you expecting to face?

WE MUST SECURE THE EXISTENCE OF OUR ARCHETYPE AND A FUTURE FOR COMBO PLAYERS

Why would you -2 against anything but boggles or infect. Just bolt him the second he hits the battlefield and use her +1 to make them discard while lying to yourself and thinking YEAH JUND IS GOOD AGAIN

>again
jund was never not good and never will be

hey meng jund is still tier...right? actually building junk right now lol. my whole damned country is soft to it.

I've got a tip for you. open wide

You minus lili because it's a removal spell that doesn't give them a land
>still splashing red in your rock deck
>LaughingSpiritTokens.jpeg

if I had a dollar everytime I saw junk destroy jund...

>playing colours or tokens
>LaughinGhostDragon.pdf

>playing turn 4
>LaughingAgent.exe

>playing junk
>masturbating over your positive jund MU while being worse against everyone else

Who the fuck plays Ugin on 4? Warping wails are mainboarded for a reason

Gimme more shitty GGT shop ideas.

Man i've been looking for nazi propaganda with dredge shops on them myself. If anybody has them saved, plz post. Don't make ask the circle jerk general

Well I don't know about your LGS, but most people have to actually randomize their deck so they may not get exactly natural Tron + Wail + Ugin every time.

Ah I fucked it. Heres what I wanted to post.

that tron who loses to UW control lol

>laughinggirls.jpg

Do you play mono-u Tron or something?

Not bad. Should be amalgam's face with "out of the graveyard for free" I think

>Forked bolt always got me some crazy value when I used to play it, but I'm pretty sure the meta has shifted enough that it's not nearly as good now.

Forked Bolt was amazing in the Git Probe meta. My current "spicy tech" is Pillar of Flame from Avacyn Restored.

I've been running into so many Kitchen Finks ever since Fatal Push was spoiled, so I removed the 2 Forked Bolt from my deck and included the 2 Pillar of Flame.

I'm expecting a lot more in the way of Abzan CoCo decks, which this destroys handily

are you on delver friend

Post this mythical UW control deck that beats Gx Tron i wanna play it

>I'm expecting a lot more in the way of Abzan CoCo decks
Why? it's that archetype was tier 3 before fatal push. And fatal push hasn't made it any better

It's more that there is less GY hate running around because of the dredge nerf

oh, there's was just this nigger up there who complained about losing to UW control as tron.

he sucks

ey b0ss, coco just top 8'd like 3 major tournies

>are you on delver friend

Yep, my current list is this:


4x Delver
4x Snapcaster
2x Young Pyro
2x Tasigur
2x Gurmag

Spells

4x Serum Visions
4x Thought Scour
2x Sleight of Hand
4x Lightning Bolt
2x Pillar of Flame
1x Dispel
2x Spell Snare
2x Remand
2x Kolaghan's Command
2x Terminate
1x Fatal Push
1x Dreadbore

Lands
4x Polluted Delta
4x Scalding Tarn
1x Steam Vents
1x Blood Crypt
2x Watery Grave
3x Spirebluff Canal
1x Darkslick Shores
2x Island
1x Swamp

It's inspired for sure by Caleb Durward's list, though I play more fastlands.

I'm not sorry for not being able to spend more than 100 bucks for a deck

Thats a solid idea actually. Gonna do that one next. Here's what my autistic friend asked me to make for him though to tide you over til then.

>he sucks
I do and my deck too, I never said otherwise

>Why? it's that archetype was tier 3 before fatal push. And fatal push hasn't made it any better

It's a local meta thing. I don't expect it at a high level but there are a couple players here that use it, in addition to a Jund player that has some Kitchen Finks.

The deck did get a lot better with Renegade Rallier, I will say that.

Just play stealyoshit.dec and kill them with their own Karns.

haha fukkin dredge guy time to save up all these retarded shoops for when our lord and savior comes back from the grave

Made a thread for this before I found this thread.
I want to learn to play MTG.
There are no circles around my town,so I have to resort to online play.
Where can I learn how to play, and maybe spar with other noobs without having to shell out 10 bucks for M:O?
Sorry if it seems cheap on my end, I just don't want to use that money on something I'm not even sure I'd like in the first place.

Xmage

try cockatrice (it's an online MTG simulator) or the official MTG app. DOTP is very beginner friendly but gets boring once you master the basics

Magic duels is probably your best bet

I've heard good things about Duels of the Planeswalkers

You should be. You can't even make a decent burn with.

I know but I'm still having fun with whatever I manage to build

Thank you, I'm trying out Magic Duels, if I get the hang of it I might get DOTP later.
Thank you all.

Thats cute. You should check pauper if you're poor

Lol I'm glad someone saved that

>Not playing more than one format
You don't like MtG that much, do you ?

...

Here it is. My Magnum Opus.

>better than OG mox
Huh, I'm gonna put it in my jund deck right now, thanks for the tip man!

I play legacy, modern, pauper, standard and Canadian highlander. Don't get salty with me because you don't have disposable income

Wait we improved upon the magnum opus. Dis one betta

And saved. You're doing god's work user

nigga r u a burn player
