mcmagic posted:Twin always plays Peek over Probe... Ciprian Maricon posted:Yeah Peek is pretty useful one-of when considering to go for the combo, wtf are you even talking about Toshino? iirc it was even in the winning modern PT list and it's certainly been around lots before. The winning Modern deck in the other tournament I linked ran 4 Probe too. http://mtgtop8.com/event?e=9470&d=254303&f=MO Granted it's also running Pyromancer, but that seems like another argument in Probe's favour if anything (because Pyromancer is a Good Card)

To be honest, I didn't expect Peek to be a real card in Modern. The effect has never quite seemed worth a card slot in serious constructed if you couldn't cast it for zero mana. I guess I was wrong though! Of course, I'm probably as bad as mcmagic in many regards.

I like how some dude empty posted about some card going in his EDH deck about 50 times and never posted anything else requiring thought yet no one gave a poo poo. Instead, they loving complain constantly about mcmagic having opinions about Magic: the Gathering in a Magic: the Gathering thread. If you want to post an intelligent thought why he's wrong, that's fine. Its a discussion thread. If you want to point out that he's wrong and stupid because he's mcmagic then holy hell shut the gently caress up you goony shitlord.

I guess I was wrong though! When your deck both leaves your opponent paralysed in fear of instantly losing and operates 99% at instant speed one mana starts to look more appealing than 2 life. You don't especially want to Probe into Scapeshift (sad trumpet noises) or Burn (record needle scratch). Ultimately it's because all the good cantrips are banned, as they should be.

I thought peek showing up in recent deck-lists was a concession to the power of modern burn at this point.What is even being argued about? It seems sensible if you are trying to pad against popular decks.

I'm not supporting Twin (although I haven't seen it in my local meta) but there will just be another combo deck that is powered up by ponder and preordain.

JerryLee posted:To be honest, I didn't expect Peek to be a real card in Modern. The effect has never quite seemed worth a card slot in serious constructed if you couldn't cast it for zero mana. I guess I was wrong though! It is of course instant vs. sorcery that makes the difference. Twin really like to hold mana up when it can, peek gives it something else to do on the opponents turn. As you can imagine once you have 4+ mana, you can peek, if the coast is clear combo or play your big threat like keranos (if post SB) It is a flex spot really, some versions run probe, some peek, some thought scour. It really points to how awful modern blue cantrips are more than anything. I don't get quite why Toshimo picked this as a thing to stake himself on, he's wrong. Peek is a card that successful Twin builds play. That slot, and be it peek, probe, or scour isn't the most critical choice in the deck. It probably isn't a 1% effective difference. I play the peek, I agree with the having an instant, and sometimes it is a bonus that lets you see if you can go off or not.

Orange Fluffy Sheep posted:You clearly have no idea how Modern works as a format nor the philosophy of its bans. Twin is sacred. If it is never top-tier then something must be banned to put it right back up. Those rear end holes at Wizards have ARBITRARILY determined that the fundamental turn of Modern should be turn 4. Unfortunately if your deck doesn't win on turn 4 immediately it's not viable in Modern, forcing everyone to play combo. Nothing else has placed in over six years. Wizards do you even pay attention to your own formats? Luckily for those of us in the know none of the power cards from the mightiest combo deck, Signal the Rats, have been banned YET.

Uhh... My original post was a sarcastic quip about how Peek is actually a thing (in the context that cantrips have been banned into the ground so WotC could have this elegant, yet garbage format). You are actually agreeing with my point. The problem came in when functional illiterate and forum superstar mcmagic came in to tell me that "literally all Twin decks have switched from Probe to Peek". I easily showed how that was demonstrably wrong in about 30 seconds of work. Then mcmagic, Angry Grimace, and the shitpost brigade proceeded to have a whinefest that drowned the thread in a singularity of suck. This is a cycle that happens pretty often: Step 1: mcmagic posts some idiot poo poo that makes no sense. Step 2: Somebody calls him out on his dumb poo poo. Step 3: He whines about how he's ~terribly persecuted~. Turns out he's the only one with this problem because he's the perfect storm of worst poster and most prolific poster in the thread.

It's not that McMagic posts wrong things more often than anyone else, it's that he always picks a loving fight about it. loving stop slapfighting, pitiable rear end, the meta-argument over how wrong you are is super loving tedious.

Something's wrong with me. I'm actually sitting here eagerly hoping my Shorecrasher Elementals arrive in the mail in time for me to play Mono-U at tomorrow's FNM. Question: Is 3 Mirror Mockery too cute for the deck? It's such a weak form of "removal", even for blue, yet the potential to stick one on my own Master of Waves feels too stupidly enticing to give up.

Any number is too many because the best case scenario it's a kind of bad Pacifism and worst case scenario you get infinity for one'd when they remove your Master of Waves in response. On the other hand it's FNM so jam as many as makes you happy
