That seems really good. Hand disruption, good body, enables processors.

Seems like another way for the Eldrazi deck to be less about processing and more about smashing you with giant dudes cast way too early.

Shadow225 posted:Hello Magic thread. I have recently been given the Meren Commander deck as a gift. I began tinkering with it, and found I have some rules questions. 1. 3. They all die at the same time, and Meren "sees" that three other creatures died. 2. Before. You sacrifice the Elder as a cost to use the ability, so when the ability goes on the stack, the Sifter sees that and triggers. 3. 2/4. The original Mirrodin wording makes it more clear, but if that card isn't specifically in the exile zone anymore, nothing is imprinted so Duplicant just reverts back to a 2/4. 4. Permanently exiled until some other card says otherwise. 5. Trample is a good ability, you deal 3 damage to them and the 1/1 becomes a 2/2. 6. Probably? The 0/0 comes in, triggering Ezuri, and then the equipment attaches to buff the 0/0.

The whole thing sounds like a really bad tribute to Fate/stay night with Nissa lending Chandra her special power through Mana Transfer Elemental and Jace invoking Unlimited Sural Works or some poo poo.

Wait, I thought the Titans we know are simply weakened projections of their true and impossibly powerful forms in the Blind Eternities? And doesn't killing them on Zendikar release them to the rest of the multiverse, with severe consequences?

my favorite thing is, if we ignore the bad writing and the bad plotting and so forth, that kiora was like a pretty integral part of the plot in bfz and just totally vanishes in this set she didn't agree to join the cool kid's club and therefore they didn't want her help against world-devouring abominations or something? edit: also they're clearly trying to channel comic books in this and isn't one of the first rules of comic books "don't destroy your villains so you can fight them again later"?

Elyv posted:my favorite thing is, if we ignore the bad writing and the bad plotting and so forth, that kiora was like a pretty integral part of the plot in bfz and just totally vanishes in this set Based on what Maro said I'm going to assume that the POWER RANGERS will extend to stopping both Nicol Bolas and the Phyrexians whenever it is that they inevitably escape Mirrodin again. Elyv posted:my favorite thing is, if we ignore the bad writing and the bad plotting and so forth, that kiora was like a pretty integral part of the plot in bfz and just totally vanishes in this set I'm sure they didn't - Ugin made it super clear that what Jace was planning was really fucken dumb and that he shouldn't do it and of course Jace didn't listen to the Millenia-old ancient Eldrazi Scholar we just spent an entire block resurrecting Angry Grimace fucked around with this message at 00:13 on Jan 6, 2016 |

Also probably something stupid like, physical manifestations are gone but ethereal whatever.

jassi007 posted:Honestly I'm not confident that Jund will show up in a top 8 in the next year. The format is moving to a place where Jund itself is less powerful than it was. Bloom, Tron and the new Eldrazi deck are very bad for Jund. I agree with this. Been testing with my 2 friends playing Scapeshift, GR Tron and Eldrazi Control and I keep getting crushed. Currently buying the parts for junk to try that side of the coin, but what other modern decks can I make for reasonably cheaply with a complete jund shell?

Entropic posted:Is that a list for that up somewhere? What's it useing for mana acceleration? I based my list off of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a20KP-ozNTc I cut the slaughter pacts for a night's whisper and a go for the throat, and added some darkblasts and ruin processors to the sideboard (the ruin processors could very well be wrong). This deck eats up any kind of midrange deck and laughs at tasigurs, goyfs and snapcasters. The discard gives it game against combo decks, the fetchable ghost quarters give you game against tron. Burn/zoo is tough and so is affinity and merfolk, but they don't feel like unwinnable matchups. You can sometimes draw the wrong half of your deck, but that only matters against decks with a fast clock. You can splash white or red, but I think the consistency of having 4 urborgs and 4 eye of ugin in the mono black version is the way to go. Also yeah, Reality Smasher is going to give it extra game against a lot of decks.

Bonus posted:That's what I'm trying to figure out. I just feel that a 5/5 trample haste that protects itself and can be cast off of 3 lands (which aren't that hard to assemble) might be good in modern. I was thinking it might be good against decks that want to durdle forever (although you can usually just ulamog those decks) or decks that want to chump your stuff forever (lingering souls decks, etc.) Those are your good matchups though, no?

Reality Smasher an incredibly fast clock, that's always a good thing to have against combo decks. I like Thought-Knot for the deck as well, it fills a serious gap in the mana-curve and provides another way to mess up combos.

Standard is so dead. We used to get 20-30 people for Monday nights, but recently we've struggled to get even eight. Last night when the judge called out for Standard signups, someone yelled, "Why not Modern?" and with that, we had eleven people sign up for an impromptu Modern tournament.
