I'm actually about to build this list, because I need a new fringey Modern deck to play with. How does he feel about Sudden Death vs. Hero's Downfall? I get that SD is a split second answer to Twin, but there's a lot of planeswalker-y stuff around my local meta, so I might like to gain some points against them...


Deck looks like fun. Sudden Death seems like a must vs Twin but I don't see why you couldn't squeeze a downfall in somewhere else.
Reminds me of an old super Standard deck that I played on MTGO, a deck that cast OG Sorin regularly.

Endrek Sahr seems an odd choice. A 20 cent card, that's already been reprinted once and never really sees play.

GOOD reprints. Endrek is a weird one, but probably fits the theme.

It's already 45 bucks for a NM one on TCG now. I bet the MM ones will be under 30.

Noble is a chase rare, with 10k participants in the main event at the GP plus TONS of side events ... lots of product will get opened the weekend of the GP! I figure this one will drop pretty nicely. Problem with Tarmo and Dark Confidant (at the time) is there were highly playable AND mythic.

Since Daybreak Coronet was future shifted, this makes me wonder if they were intending to print it in Theros block but had to cut it for some reason. I like that they managed to fit it into the flavor of an existing setting, at least. King cat needs a crown.

The print run for this set is (apparently) much, much, much higher than MM1. I don't really understand the skepticism here.

“I feel like, in order to care about the price of a Magic card, you have to be poor,” said Jason. “Like, I have this set of Tarmogoyfs just sitting on my apartment floor — nobody’s used them in the last six months — and I don’t check the price, ever. Who cares? Is Modern Masters 2 coming out soon? I don’t know what any of the new cards do. Yet life goes on.”

Good, good, now do a reprint of that sick old frame Noble Hierarch so I can get my playset of those.

e: Yeah, for mono red tron the list was basically the last list in that Pucatrade article, except with trading posts instead of the chandras and two of the banefires. It was an old Dissolution of Eternity brew and he doesn't stream anymore, but there might be a replay on his channel.

If it was, it was cut probably in Development. It would have been insane in UW Heroic.

Every rare in MM1 was under $20 except for Cryptic Command. MM15 print run is at least 4x larger than MM1 just based on what stores are getting in their first shipment.

Was that card a player in Standard? The setup cost seems SO high... I guess in a boggles or hexproof deck?

It wasn't played in standard at all. I don't think it was worth much until bogles got their hands on it, either. Maybe a few dollars from casual appeal.

If you want to get technical, not really, given that there's no actual card with "Affinity for" in it yet.

But we can hope.
