MTG Modern General

So my friend is making a mardu list that's tons of removal and some token generation (bitterblossom, lingering souls, etc) with pic related as the finisher. How bad is that idea? Obviously it's not T1 but maybe not complete garbage

If that card said hexproof instead of vigilance I would say cool, but it seems kind of bad to just get pushed. Someday we will have mardu goyf, don't you worry friend

How do I into sideboards?

I'm a trash EDH casual who somehow has enough parts to slap together a couple Modern decks (Titan Shift/Valakut Breach and Burn), so I figured I'd try my hand at 60-card after a long-ass time, but I have no clue how to effectively sideboard.

>Someday we will have mardu goyf,
LOL no you won't

UNBAN SPLINTER TWIN

UNBAN SUMMER BLOOM

Side boarding is pretty easy for burn. You run some artifact/ enchant removal, you run path for shit you can't burn, and you run other stuff to fit your meta. I can't speak for titan shift as I haven't played it.

They tried with butcher, I'm hopeful someday they get it right

UNBAN HYPERGENESIS

UNBAN ARTIFACT LANDS

Burn player here.
Destructive revelry, lightning helix, path, deflecting palm, smash to smithereens are the usual options. Depends on the meta and what kind of burn you play tho.

What's the best X value for Chalice?

1 or 2

just you wait

just play a couple games with other people and watch other games while thinking, "What do I need to push me over the edge against him".

No thanks. I'll just keep playing my goyfs

UNBAN PAINTER'S SERVANT SHELDON

Hey guys, this thread seems a lot nicer than the one I last posted in last time so I'll try again.

I'm making a modern kithkin tribal and I was wondering if you guys had any tips? I'm already considering splashing green for CoCo and gaddock teeg+ kithkin mourncaller. I'm running path now but here's what I'm working with

>I was wondering if you guys had any tips?

Don't play meme decks

cont

Kithkin fun continued

Anyone here autistic?

Last one

I'm also considering aether vial and ancient stirrings to dig for it or lands, do you guys think that's a good idea? I've never really built a tribal before

It might not be tier 1, but it can certainly compete with a lot of decks, I wouldn't be surprised to see it do well in a GP setting with the right meta.

still desperate for twin?

>upset about negativity
>on Veeky Forums
You don't belong here.

This, desu.

Oh sorry, this isn't the standard thread

the thread is nicer because people arent posting kithkin table decks in the competitive thread

You don't have enough good kithkins to make a deck.

>They banned Twin for literally no reason other than "muh competitive diversity" and "outshines other blue decks"
>Literally murdered and raped all blue decks and they're all shit now

The thread says modern general though? My deck is modern legal and I'm looking for advice to make it more competitive than it already is. I can win as early as turn 6 but I think I'd like to make it a bit faster than that that which is why I posted it here.I also would like some card suggestions too.

I don't see what you're problem is I'm just looking for advice on my deck

Your deck is also vintage legal, take it to the vintage thread

Affinity is blue :^)

Ebin meme bro!

Your problem is that the deck is bad at its core, and if you try to make it good, it will stop being this deck and become something else.
If you really want to make your shitty decks work, put in the effort yourself instead of expecting people here to do your homework.
But you're baiting anyway, right? The "as early as turn 3" part is kind of too obvious. 6/10 you got me to reply

There's no vintage thread up and I doubt it would survive in a format of turn 1 kills and p9.

gaddock teeg is pretty good and so is figure of destiny. The other kithkin provide tons of synergy too.

I don't know why you guys can't just help a guy out, I'm trying to make my deck better and ask for advice and I'm not getting any.

Can you already take all your shits and go away. It got old the first time.

How do you go about accusing someone of theft at FNM? I'm new and I'm certain this little kid swiped one of my cards. Do I try to catch him again?

I didn't want to get thrown out for causing a scene.

I'd just find out where he lives and break his knee caps

>When did Elrazi Tron get good, and fucking why?

Turns out that fast mana combos extremely well with undercosted colorless creatures that almost always 2 for 1 you. Whodathunkit?

I bought a box of MM17 for $180 and am going to flip it for $240. Then I'm going to buy some singles with that as well as put some money towards a trip.

You take your lumps and shit up about it. Pay better attention to your cards and stuff.

Now , I don't say this to be mean. However, if you do go around accusing someone of stealing, even if you're right, you're going to get called a shitter and ostracized from the shop. No one wants to play with a little bitch snitch.

Beat him up. He's a child. Surely you can take him. He wants to act like a thug he'll have to pay the price

This guy is a faggot and is wrong, no one fucking wants to have to worry about their cards, and anyone who is the thief will get the shit and not you, seriously fuck yourself man, you're a faggot, this isn't prison

t. card thief who doesn't want to get called out

dont tell anyone. they'll never believe you. they'll all turn on you. its your word against his. youre wasting your time. nobody will want to play against you after.

t. rapist

Unless you think you can get like, the store owner to force him to take his shit out of his bag you're pretty much fucked.

I don't think he really wants the shit back he just wants to get the kid fucked

Have you ever had something stolen and filed a police report? They waste several hours of your time taking a statement and recording whatever, give you your copy, and then nothing ever happens. It's the exact same thing with any personal property. You'll never see it again and either you shut the hell up about it, or be a whiny both about it.

You're being sarcastic, but this is actually true. No one cares about your stuff. They only care about their stuff.

The only way to get the kid fucked is if he can actually SHOW that the kid took his stuff, which would generally involve finding it.

So I'm building Elves. Right now it's monogreen standard build.
Should I expand into BG for Shaman of the Pack? I'm running Chords and CoCo to get it out otherwise, but it seems very win-more.
What else does elves use black for?

What is the best deck right now for "cheat huge creatures into play?" My friend has a boner for this sort of thing, and he wants to start in on Modern

hey cool deck man, you should try getting some vials to get your kithkin in faster. you should also try to get some declaration in stone to take care of your opponent's dudes

so /tg, rate my brew. in my extensive deck testing it crushes every T1 match up except burn and tron and those seem to be about 50/50, at worst. favorable after sideboarding.

Here's your reply. Enjoy

Tron

>No storm crow

Yo, user. Tell me where's you LGS. I need to get some mythics/rare for my collection and your store seems to just let people take other people's cards, so it would be game for me.

I think you actually are the only one that would be called a little bitch, ebcause that sounds more like somehting a group would do to the annoying kid;guy so he'd either go away or either get somehting from having you around .

That is just Aristocrats. It's absolutely a good idea and a t1,5 deck on a good day, but take a look at Falkenrath Aristocrat and compare it to this.

Best? Tron (though it's not really "cheating" if you're hardcasting).

Most fun? Probably Grishoalbrand.

>swords to plowshares
It's the little things that make the perfect OP images.

Evolution Gifts

>Opponent casts gift
>Searches library for 5 fucking minutes
People should have to be licensed to play shit like gifts and top.

Anyone know that guy MrFrenchy who 5-0d some modern dailys? Well he was in this position, he knows his opponent has pact of negation, and his opponent knows he has dispel. What is the right play? Keep in mind blood moon and the opponent cracked his bloom.

pretty sure you fucking lose

Isn't the correct line to ritual morphose and hold up 2 counters?

desperate ritual is your only path to victory. Then you can manamorphose to get UU foating R, with untapped island and be able to remand Ad Nauseam and Negate after being pacted, but this is only if AN player knows to counter the desperate ritual

>had to wait 3 minutes during an edh game for our resident hambeast to choose how she would stack two triggers when neither did anything differently regardless of the way they resolved.
>She's dead on board anyway
>scoops at my next upkeep.
I was really close to losing it.

>declaration in stone
Why would I play that over path and blessed alliance?

Also how does that deck work lol

yeah, I thought ritual was a sorcery. ritual to 4 mana, morphose double blue, remand ad naus and negate the pact, but then idk if you can do anything your next turn. you'll have 3 lands and no action in hand unless you top deck a land, and you'll still probably need another turn to go off.

I think you still lose.

I'd say it's the wrong play to counter the ritual, at least if they know you have dispel. But yeah, that's what I said, and he was like, oh no no that's wrong, and I was thinking it's not wrong.

Well there's a blood moon, and you're taking him off everything except white mana, and you're drawing at least 2 cards from morphose and maybe remand, personally I would remand after negate cause the extra card is more important. Also his pact would kill him if he doesn't have angels grace, so there's that

UNBAN MELIRA POD

there is no dispel in that screen shot.

No, I'm saying that it was cast game 2 and they know you have multiples in your deck, not that they know it's in your hand, just you have it

We know butcher isn't as good but it's a pet card since my friend played mardu back in the tarkir block

UNBAN CLOUDPOST

Riding the bus to hose town.

UNBAN SDT, I WANT ALL MY GAMES TO GO TO TIME

Unban git probe ffs

Thanks for ruining the thread

fuck off (((rudytor)))

Well played back there.

Has anyone tried an evolution deck with 4x voice and finks plus a rallier or two?
Throw in the thune feeder combo and you've got a deck.
Make it Abzan so you can have hate cards for unfair decks

>opponent silences you on upkeep followed by chalice on 1 then SSG into chalice on 2 next turn
What do you do?

Why is foil ROE Emrakul's price 2.5 times MM2 version's price?

Play liliana of the veil and win?

cascade into living end next turn

I legitimately had a RW prison player slam chalice on 1, in game two when I was playing living end. I didn't say a word, but I lmao'd internally. like holy fuck my man.

The border. The new borders ruin the transparency

Besides the bottom being fiiled a bit, I don't see a lot of difference.

MM2 foiling is notoriously shit
