Anyone see that 8-rack deck being played by Tom Ross? It looked surprisingly legit.
Carter Martinez
>If you could introduce one card into the modern cardpool what would it be?
I dunno, Dack Fayden maybe? Mother of Runes? I have no idea how busted Sanctum Prelate or Recruiter of the Guard would be in Modern D&T. Shardless Agent would probably be reasonable, wouldn't mind a Wirewood Symbiote myself honestly.
Liam Lewis
This, it's very "work in progress" and >lol illegal card mfw
Az charm / Remand tempo is in fact really fucking funny though; I had a friend run a fairly similar UW control. Such a deck is easily hamstrung from successful Thoughtseize/Inquisition with their pants down to catch Rev (or force them to blow one for a tiny X), but he also ran Snaps for that along with Colonnades and other cards not-moneybags OP lacks.
Also >if I could introduce a card Swords. I'm glad Path exists but still hate it next to Swords. So either that or Wasteland (lol tron).
Brayden Carter
I have a ton of hand me down cards, is there a site where I can input what I have and see if there's any deck thwt can be built?

Wyatt Lee
mtgtop8. You can search the database.
Jacob Sanders
For a whole collection of cards there's no free service I know of like that. Like said you can search mtgtop8 for decks containing specific cards, but you can't put your whole collection into that.

>Playing? BG Rock
>Hating? Valakut and Tron, same as always
>Thoughts on the meta? It's reasonably healthy right now, Death's Shadow is the best deck but it's not oppressively good. If I were WotC, I'd have Valakut and Street Wraith on the B&R watch list but nothing needs banning just yet.
Ian Kelly
How has bant spirits been working for you? Thinking of picking it up online
Bentley Wright

Any good modern decks that have an angel and human theme?
Brayden Reed
mono white DnT is mostly humans and angels

Should I build affinity? Is it fun?
Luis Nelson
Do NOT play affinity.
Camden Martin
Yes. Its literally the best deck if you master it. You'll take a ton of wins off of it.
Caleb Walker
HAHAHAHAHAHA Holy shit! Even Reveillark is now considered too powerful a threat from Wizards, fucking Reveillark of all cards!
>you played the game long enough to see the time where WoTC considers Reveillark too powerful I actually think the cards quite good but seriously this is the state of this game nowadays
eudy should be shot, that said there is no reason for WPN exclusivity to exist. that system fucks over more people than every other potential system there is
Michael Howard
>If you could introduce one card into the modern cardpool what would it be? force of will just so modern was made completely inaccessible
Ryan Bailey
They literally want Standard to be creatures with combat keywords attacking into each other and occasionally some overcosted removal getting casted. Oh and Planeswalkers generating some value here and there, no interesting abilities though, the Plus ability just makes creatures or neutralizes a threat the minus does card advantage and the ults just some dumb game winner that doesnt necessarily win on the spot. Even walkers dont get interesting design space anymore.
Henry Cooper
Soon Standard will look like an even simpler Portal set. Just a ton of vanilla creatures with evergreen combat keywords and extremely simple removal spells.
Caleb Lee
"The Doom Blade problem :^)" Holy shit what happened to this fucking game?
Luke White
How does that deck beat affinity, burn, infect, zoo?
Carson Torres
The changes to planeswalkers have been the most frustrating since almost every single one follows the same design principles. It's only really been Gideon of the Trials that's broken the mold in recent sets and even he isn't the most exciting of planeswalkers.
Just look at Ob Nixilis from BFZ and Jace from SOI, almost identical effects with the same CMC.
Benjamin Miller
Jeez.. Lorwyn, Shards of Alara, Zendikar are what got me back into magic, because they were interesting cards with wacky powers and abilities. And doing neat things at every rarity level. Wizards is really trying to remove anything interesting it seems.
Jacob Ramirez
>Scenario 1: Removal too strong.
>Player 1 plays a creature. >Player 2 plays Doom Blade plus a creature. >Player 1 plays a creature. >Player 2 plays Doom Blade plus a creature.
>Scenario 2: Removal too weak.
>Player 1 plays a creature. >Player 2 plays nothing. >Player 1 plays a creature. >Player 2 plays removal. >Player 1 plays a creature. >Player 2 plays removal.
There seem to be a few scenario missing in this basic example. Player 1 plays a creature. Player 2 plays a creature.
>Player 1 plays Path / Bwithin / Bounce / Bolt and a creature. >Player 2 plays Doom Blade plus a creature.
What a strawman argument she is posting.
Joshua Foster
Not posting an exhaustive list of examples isn't a strawman you dingus. It's just a simple example.
Justin Gomez
>Does removal and land destruction hurt your feelings card designer lady? How am I supposed to play my craw wurm with those unfun cards in the format? :(
Jonathan Lee
didn't portal crash and burn all three times because no one wanted "magic for retards"
Carson Anderson
>Add one card Baleful Strix Game 1 vs DS Zoo He has a Nacatl on the draw, CB to kill it and strip a Bolt from hand pitching a GQ. Played Glint-Nest turn 3 and he swings in with 2x Dryad Militant, pumps the one I don't block with the domain pump spell from alara. I get a Bridge out and start plinking with the Crane, then a Crucible and realize he didn't have any basics so I quickly remove his lands and he scoops. They disconnected but g2 I would have sideboarded like so: -1 Pithing Needle -1 Nihil Spellbomb -1 Crucible -1 Tezz AoB +2 Collective Brutality +2 Herald of Anguish
Jayden Lee
back to basics would be cool
Justin Cruz
Sup lads
Can someone recommend me a fun and cheap deck to play
Andrew Powell
seismic swans
Carter Morgan
What is your definition of cheap?
Nicholas Long
idk cheaper than US$250.00~US$300.00 maybe
Chase Lee
At last, the real reason they don't abandon the reserve list. If Vintage/legacy was cheaper to get into, established players wouldn't buy the new garbage fire sets.
Ryder Ross
*caverns of souls to pay mana*
Nothing personell controll player
Kayden Adams
Skred is ~$300 you might want to look into it. Most of the time you're probably better off just saving your money to get something worth spending on that you actually enjoy, plus you'll get more options that way as well.
Benjamin Ramirez
Of course it's a woman
Nathan Brown
cabal therapy.
Austin Adams
I wonder who could be behind this post?
Samuel Watson
im brewing some jank around cathodion, it involves sacing him for the mana and bringing him back with stuff like trash for treasure or scrap twaler. sac one to an atog, filter the mana to cast another, stuff like that.
Anthony Wilson
Fire this dumb bitch. In fact, fire all the Nu males there to. It happens in every fucking game, as soon as you start caring what the players want and how they feel, they become unhappy assholes. You need to run your company like a Chad. Print sets that are fun and interesting, fuck the players, you give them what you want and they're going to LIKE it. Fucking women. . . "This thing made me feel bad once so it has to be banned forever".
Noah Scott
can we just off mark rosewater and get someone new? i swear that cunt is slowly making the new sets shittier and shittier, i mean i dont want to return to the times of urzablock, but i want to go back to the time where a mechanic or card might make an impact across formats besides just being present in standard and thrown to the wayside when it rotates out.
tldr, fire rosewater and make something interesting dammit
Jose Green
They say as this gets the clear from RnD.
Jeremiah Sanchez
I'm glad they banned it in standard, now that I need a couple they are basically free.
Jace James
speaking of vehicles, where there any from kaladesh besides 's pic related that are usefull in modern? i think you could get some use out of ovalchase dragser and fleetwheel cruser
Lincoln Price
It's pretty saucy in fish, but I don't know where else it'd be used?
Could Soul Sisters get away with running 2?
Michael Ward
With Opt being reprinted will we see UR delver coming back?
Ethan Hernandez
not really
maybe heart of kiran
Aaron Walker
>Post dick pics edition Don't mind if I do.
>Playing? Anything running a playset of Mox opals
>Hating? Stony Silence and gang. It's not too bad though
>Thoughts on the meta? I dig it. Some "best decks" some generally good decks and it's not as much of a Sideboard battle clusterfuck as people say it is. says the guy playing mono fold to Stony Silence decks
>If you could introduce one card into the modern cardpool what would it be? Wasteland.
Zachary Hernandez
Fish indeed, I tried it as a 2x and 4x on xmage and want to bring the 2x version in my paper merfolk deck.
Luis Lee
I sure as fuck hope so user.
Grayson Wilson
it's never coming back with Gitaxian Probe banned
Michael Hall
Can spellskite redirect damage sources from conflagerate? Scenario is my board is full of creatures and spellskite. He conflagerates one each to assign lethal damage to everything.
Anthony Sanchez
How so?
Jace Rogers
Grixis maybe, but I don't think UR is coming back anytime soon due to how the meta has shifted.
Leo Nguyen
If Spellskite is targeted by Conflagrate or Electrolyze at all, you can't redirect damage.
Carter Roberts
Gitaxian Probe is the main reason why Delver decks can get away with sketchy hands and 18 land manabase. It's also gives you great turn 1 play with Swiftspear, great turn 2 play with Snapcaster or Young Pyromancer.
Delver also has never been successful without Gitaxian Probe. Legacy, Modern, and Standard when Delver was good it had Gitaxian Probe.
Benjamin Thompson
Gut shot seems like an ok replacement. Imo with the extra librabry manipulation of Opt is suddenly seems like a much more viable deck in modern.
Sebastian Flores
>eudy should be shot I dunno about you but I don't want my Goyfs to get reprinted to hell and back and hold no value.
As long as a card doesn't cost €1000 I don't see any problem.
Dylan Lee
Live your dream buddy.
Camden Richardson
Gut shot doesn't cantrip and provide perfect info so you can sequence properly. It didn't deserve the ban at all
Julian Gonzalez
quick someone tell him that peek is modern legal.
Jose Hughes
Peek always requires mana so that doesn't make it nearly as good senpai. Nice try though
Jack Wood
Really underwhelmed by the first run of Ixalan cards. Seems very uninspired, overly Hearthstone-influenced and a real step back from Amonkhet/Hour of Destruction.
Am I being overly cynical or anyone else not feeling it?
Dylan Davis
>It's a great safeguard against planeswalkers and the new double-sided lands if they are a bit stronger than we anticipated. >we don't know what we're doing Great.
Joshua Diaz
WoTC is definitely pushing everyone to be a Timmy. >2 mana removal? Nah, too powerful, let's make it cost 5.
Levi Collins
On one hand I feel the same way but on the other I'm kind of glad they're at least printing cards like spell pierce, Lightning strike, Opt and Duress again as well as the newer hate cards. Hopefully they realize this battlecruiser magic shit isn't good for the game and go back to previous standards for inspiration.
Justin Bennett
You actually thought Amonkhet/HoD was good? So far I'm thinking Ixalan should be better, the flip cards seem interesting at least.
Austin Miller
>interesting flip cards >interesting i renember seeing an enchant that flips into a gea's cradle.
Sebastian Brown
For Standard I mean. Nothing in Ixalan interests me for Modern.
David Barnes
Since origins the sets have been trash, this one is no exception.
Xavier Myers
Hour yes, it synergised really well with the earlier sets.
Christopher Ross
classic mtgo
Dominic Lewis
>All colored mana symbols may now be paid with 2 generic mana. >Urza lands are banned
How would you change your existing decks? Would you brew something new?
Parker Lewis
This seems like a good way to throw the one of the basic principals of the game out the fucking window
Juan Williams
Cultivator caravan is good too. However it only really works for 5 mana threats. There are so many better options at 3 mana for rocks
Julian Baker
well i figured a few of you guys might shit your pants because omg gaeas cradle but i guess its meh
Chase Flores
like everflowing chalice for example
Ryder Rodriguez
Exactly. Love that card. Only advantage is that some lists can benefit from having the mana rock also be a creature. I think it has potential but maybe only as a king macar pimp mobile deck
Isaiah Walker
you can esoul artifact it.
Daniel Jackson
It would be easier to crew it. It only gives base pt 5/5 so crewing it does the same thing.
Ayden Jones
Problem is that the decks that want it have trouble using it and the decks that can use it don't really want it. Elves, for example, can get it to flip really easily, but they don't have any trouble making the insane amounts of mana that you'd get from it, and it'll usually just make your CoCos lest consistent. Not saying it's unplayable, just that it's not "omg cradle"
