MTG Modern General

i still have no idea why anyone would use cuckatrice

Doubt they'd even be good.
Jund isn't bad because the cards in it are bad, it's just too slow for the format.
What's the scariest a turn 4 BBE can really do? Cascade into Lili?

Burning Tree Emissary or Brutality could give folks headaches.

No we don't.

Game engine in cool, but cockatrice plays like paper where managing your shit is part of the game.

Yeah but XMage means that you learn your deck better, as well as exactly how obscure sideboard cards operate, without any chance to learn it wrong and get fucked in a real tournament. I'd rather just print proxies and test with paper than use cockatrice personally.

If any of the waifus should be unbanned, it should be SFM. BBE actually had a chance in the format while SFM was preemptively banned from the start. Just saying.

I watched Jund fuck up Elves last night.
Felt good seeing a match with no Tron or Shadow.

Yeah, her ban carrying over from Extended(or was it Standard?) was a bit shit. Still, considering that she's played in Legacy decks that can be considered stronger versions of certain Modern decks, she's probably still too strong.

What are the odds of finding No-Ban Modern events at a GP? Should I get my playset of Mental Misstep before going?
