Terrible Horse posted:The modern Eldrazi deck (that was the reason for the Eye and Temple spikes, I think?) is on right now. You made me look this up. http://shop.tcgplayer.com/magic/modern-masters-2015/eye-of-ugin What the gently caress is is garbage? 100 bucks for a set of Eye of Ugins? That's ridiculous.

If you're a repeat customer or whatever, they don't make you do this and you just directly PM the guy - I never had to do that because I had bought stuff from their site before (they sell singles at a slight discount and that guy was the person who delivered it). Yeah, looking at their website now, they actually make it pretty easy for new customers like me; I'll email them a copy of my collection (including tickets), and they'll get back to me in few days. Thanks a bunch.

Errant Gin Monks posted:You made me look this up. Yup. Online its a reasonable 5 tix, which is still a 500% increase. Besides a few cards (IoK, Damnations in the side, Ulamog) the deck is one of the cheapest available online it seems.

It fixes the wasteland "problem" in similar fashion to Tec Edge, in that it can't sucker-punch someone in the first few turns of a game (silly mana acceleration scenarios aside), but it offers a significant buff over Tec Edge in that it has the potential to slowly gently caress the poo poo out of any deck that was planning to spend the game sucking its manabase's dick.

Foreskin Problems posted:By what metric? They're not better or worse, both do different things and they're both pretty bad at early disruption, especially when basics haven't come into play so your opponent has a buffer for Quarter. Quarter is card disadvantage but works unconditionally, Tec Edge is card parity but is slower to work.

TheKingofSprings posted:Yeah, they don't play Magic at all Close thread. So to add content. My buddy came into town the other day, he is a casual player and put together a modern-ish Aggro elemental deck that flings 10/2 guys at you to win. He had been dominating his other casual friends with it. After 10 games of losing to modern burn he decided he did not like playing magic anymore. The final straw being I was at 8 he was at 13. He flung a guy at me for 10 damage, I deflecting palmed it and followed it up with a lightning bolt. I feel like I accomplished something.

Is there any reason the Modern BW Eldrazi deck runs Damnation as opposed to Wrath of God? From what i can tell the deck runs just as much black-producing lands as white-producing lands.

Goryo's can go off super fast but it's too inconsistent and fragile to be a top tier deck. Bloom seems like a far more likely hit. e: the eldrazi deck plays Urborg so double black is easier to get than double white

What's the deal with the packs you win from doing the new player draft on MTGO? They look almost identical to normal packs but have "Online" written on them and apparently can't be used for normal drafts. Are they just there to crack?

You guys should lobby your lgs or playgroup to do the occasional unsanctioned all proxy legacy or modern events. You can see whether you actually like how a deck plays before dropping bucks on it, or just try a different one every week. Also the try hards stay away.
