I hate that fucking card so much

Yeah, well, that pic was from 2015.

Since those are limited run and tend to be curled up trash, nah.

Why play any creature deck that doesn't include collected company?

Affinity.
I love Affinity and have playsets of all the artifact lands, but any of them would be broken.

You wouldn't particularly want coco if your creatures are more in the 1-2 cmc range (or are in the 4+ range) and you also want a lot of noncreature spells. Collected Company really demands that you build around it.

pls respond, I need your knowledge

This looks like some sort of weird ninja bear delver build. The playable cards in your mainboard are phantasmal bear, ninja of the deep hours, and opt.

Here's my rough guess as to what ninja bear delver would look like in 2017.
tappedout.net/mtg-decks/lidl-delver/#c3177186

>Playing?
UB shadow faeries

>Hating?
Wx hatebears, stripmine boogaloo

>Meta?
Classic (Etron, rdw, gds, d&t, dredge, ur storm, turns)

>Building?
UW prison ; non-meta EDH (nothing serious atm)

>Safe unbans ?
Jitte could be considered, versatile but too slow to value in competitive (4 mana, one swing do nothing)

Yeah I'm sure CoCo is great on eldrazi tron

Best 4-drops for each color? Here's my list off the top of my head.

Get over it famalam
I've actually seen a massive drop in people playing Push because it can't kill Anglers or bananaman, Its at the point where I can run Cats in my Naya Burn Deck again and not feel like I'm getting hosed.

>Page not found
What about Voidmage? Seems kinda good to me, but I'm not good at building decks

Methinks Kalitas is a better 4 drop in black but I'm gay so who knows.

Funny, White is the only color where the real best 4 drop isn't banned.

Because white sucks

Green senpai
>inb4 BBE is green and not GR

hey screw you, white is my favorite color

Is that you Craig Wescoe?

who's craig wescoe?

this is taking forever

sorterino memes

birthing pod m8

Pro who plays white weenie no matter what.

>dem animu boxes
What are you trying to do?

Pod costs 3 famalam

It's got a CMC of 4.

Yeah - and Dread Return costs 0.
Yet they both are 4 drops.

Why is damnation the best black but not wrath of God for white?

Because Supreme Verdict.

Resto Angel is more versatile. What's a black 4 drop that combos, triggers LTBs, reuses ETBs, and lets you pull all sorts of combat tricks?

>What's a black 4 drop that combos, triggers LTBs, reuses ETBs, and lets you pull all sorts of combat tricks?
Dread Return?

I'm going to sell it all

phyrexian cuckmaster :^)

Yes, but it's not legal.

Banned.

I actually had some nigger try and claim that Oblitterator was a good card the other day. I was actually triggered. He was playing BR Burn and he had a 1 of Oblitterator in the deck for when he "floods out" He ended up beating me because I was playing Pili--pala combo and didn't draw my Balista, but didn't actually even cast Oblitterator, he revealed it off a Confidant. Apparently that qualifies as it winning the game though.

Seems kinda solid for a budget FNM deck. Looks like a bear delver attempt.
Would maybe put the voidmage prodigies into the mainboard, but I don't know what you could take out

the obliterator meme is pretty neat in golgari midrange but i'm pretty sure golgari has been dead because its just inferior to abzan and jund

So... one meme deck beats another and he feels proud about it?

So black is shit?

The Rock is still around. Works well in a meta where you want a more solid manabase.

Obviously not.

I don't really understand why we're talking about 4 drops.

unban
Birthing Pod

let's open up the format

Playing? quitting but I'll probably keep faeries and blue moon

Hating? i'll be hating jund if those banlist changes happened kek

Building? the only decks i don't have are tron, eldrazi memes, infect and affinity

...

>Plays with flashing flying pest.
>Still favors faeries over esper spirits.

Faith in tempo players restored.

>Golgari Grave-Troll
>Green Sun's Zenith
>Summer Bloom
YES

How long should I wait before picking up Kalitas?

Why would you wait at all?

It looks like it's still dropping in price.

prowess of the fair
biorhythm

>UB shadow faeries
shadow as in death's shadow? or shadow of doubt?

I assume he must mean death's shadow.

Growing rites, I know you wanna play it.

Outdoors magic is best magic

Brings me back to playing in middle school. Of course, that was before we used playmats and card sleeves.

My old cards look like someone took a belt sander to them.

I miss playing with unsleeved cards, there's just something about they way they feel in your hand that's super satisfying. It's a shame they get dirty and damaged so easily.

As in death's shadow.
Managed to tune the deck into a fast tempo/control w/ classic UB faerie (cliques, spellstutter sprite, bitterblossom, mutavault, snapcaster), early disruption/cantrips (thoughtseize, push, spell snare, opt) and DS as a quicker wincon than just 1/1 flyers.

(Considered siding shadow of doubt, too bulk just to counter a fetchland/treasure map and narrow against chord)

Why do you use different plastic counters instead of just using d6?

Cause I'm a dork and I like the acrylic counters. Usually use the d6 for +1/0 type buffs.

Damn good OP.

Daily reminder that BBE is only banned because of a deck that unironically ran playsets of Putrid Leech and Sprouting Thrinax.

I would unban:
BBE
Birthing Pod
DRS
Dig Through Time
Eye of Ugin
Green Sun's Zenith
JTMS
Mental Misstep
Preordain (NOT ponder though)
Skullclamp
SFM
Treasure Cruise
Artifact Lands

That card is literal garbage, get the fuck out of this thread.

dummy. mono black devotion is insane.

Do not reply to tripfags.

I like this card.

A fair number of people do, especially if you have pic related to combo with it.

I also like it's cousins, Brain Maggot and Kitesail Booter

So I want to get into modern I'm coming from standard, i was deciding between either Ur gifts or Burn they both sound fun which one would you guys recommend since I'm new to modern or should I do a budget deck?

Well Burn is easier to pilot. Both are on the cheap end of competitive decks.

You could start with budget burn and build it out into the full version.

i havent played since before that set came out

jesus christ its like they made it for deadguy ale

In Modern it's used in Eldrazi & Taxes.

that sounds disgusting

Personally I'm not a big fan. I'd rather play either mono-white D&T or full on Eldrazi (Bant, Tron, or Stompy), but it is a thing.

just saw the new art for inquistion, i might get a playset

Just keep in mind that it doesn't hit these big Eldrazi, or the delve fatties that have risen up.

YEAH THEN THE WIND COMES AND IT AINT FUN

>U/G Merfolk got top 8 at SCG
Is it good or did they meme their way in?

We'll find out soon enough. Another Open next week.

Tarmogoyf?
Never heard of him

>I cast Kolaghan's Command to destroy Myr Superion and kill one of the mana dorks you used to cast him

goodbye cardos, i don't want to sell you but :(

>Implying I'm not playing Blue Steel and I'm not behind 7 birds, squids and Lode golems
Good luck casting that shit for 6 m8

>mana dorks
>implying I'm not playing some heartless summoning memebrew
jokes on you famalam

so why doesn't this shit have flash?

It turns out they're using Kopala and not Kira
Maybe he's actually the better choice just for being a fish and getting carried by the rest of the fish squad

Because it would be undercosted.

Does a 1 mana Flash, Flying, self buffing, sac to counter creature look balanced to you?

>self buffing

needs another spirit

>sac to counter

only 2 card types
