I am fairly certain that if you commit fraud for a few thousand dollars and include doing it over state lines, it should not come at a shock.

I'm really enjoying Standard and Pioneer at the moment. While there are some clear best decks for any given weekend, the meta share isn't overwhelming for anything and the distance between the best decks and brews feels very approachable. You can target an expected meta and you can make new decks that feel reasonably competitive. Even some of the top decks can be modified fairly heavily - I'm currently playing a Gitrog, Ravenous Ride focused version of Golgari that' feels a lot better against the less heavy spot removal (less interactive or more wraths) decks in Standard.

What formats are y'all playing now?

I like how while most of the positive reviews didn't leave a comment, one noted that they received a counterfeit. But the customer service follow up was nice and they got a refund so 5 stars it is.

I’m trying to find the right build for me for a Slickshot deck in pioneer because I don’t want to play the top 2 decks (vampires and Phoenix). I might trick myself into waste not if I can’t land on something.

Mostly trying different Gruul builds with and without wizards lightning support. I find myself not really liking the format very much though. Phoenix feels so bad to play against, and vampires and Amalia can end the game on t3 if you don’t have the right interaction lined up.

Broodscale goes infinite with a lot of things in pauper, but it's probably not the bannable card Gavin was talking about

Pauper has a bunch of infinites that work similarly that aren't banned or anywhere near Tier 1 or even 2, like Midnight Guard/Presence of Gond

i think people are excited cause its 2 mana + 1 mana + something to trigger a +1/+1 counter which snakeskin veil can do for just 1 more mana (as well as protect broodscale), also can sac a myr scrapling to get the counter.

we'll see. i don't think it'll get banned cause it probably can't be consistent, but i think it will see play.

It'll probably be the next flavor of the week until enough people lose to boros or terror with it, then it'll just be another t2-3 fun deck

I'm picturing broodscale, ivy Lane denizen, falkenrath noble and some other synergy pieces that will be fun to play, but still be too slow against glint hawk/experimental synthesizer/kuldotha rebirth

edit: ban glint hawk

Running Gruul Slickshot on Explorer and loving it. Been experimenting with Tyvars Stand in place of Blossoming Defense and a couple of other tweaks but honestly the default version of the deck is great. The Wizard variant is interesting but feels more like a sidegrade than a clear improvement.

I will say I find myself wishing for more mainboard Naturalize effects despite running 2 Boseiju because there are a lot of enchantments floating around right now.

This card would be awesome if pick your poison and boseiju didn't exist. I guess some of the time you can at least replace itself when it gets removed in a turn.

That land is very good, hopefully this outing is just a test for them to introduce a cycle in a standard legal set at some point in the future.

Knowing that they don't want to repeat past mistakes with Uro, Phlage seems a bit overtuned? The ETB should let you nuke a nonbasic land or an artifact and enchantment. A one turn anthem effect, something.

The 1 mana and draw effect are both very relevant in my thinking. Like this specific card seems is one of those things that would give you Stroke of Genius Face.

Reddit posted some lock combos with the new card

Vexing Bauble, Karn Great, Omen Machine. Your opponent is locked out and you play all the artifacts that get exiled from Omen Machine (or outside the game).



Edit: I had Knowledge Pool.. but not sure if you can still cast your own cards with that..

Modern has some really cool cards. I think I thought of the wrong Karn when he's brought up. If nothing else, that Karn is much better one than I have in a commander deck.

Think I might go to FNM for this set, I wanna see some of these crazy Eldrazi land.

knowledge pool does lock all players out of casting spells with bauble, but you have a 6/6 with karn

e: wait you have to cast the spells you draw so omen machine doesnt fuel karn

This seems potentially very strong. Your combo is made out of MD hate that cycles, the best utility land, one of the best big mana cards, and a sb slot. The cost to have the combo in your deck is minor, I can definitely see a Freestrider Lookout list being very good.

Its giving me the old Mycosynth Lattice combo vibes. The lock applies to both players though , but if you are already winning onboard and your opponent is playing any creature lands, you are doing pretty well.

Its also maybe a bit "win more" , but casting Wurmcoil Engine was already not as good as it use to be either. So if you are casting something for 6 cmc , might as well have the option of a lock piece.
