Also I'm surprised Lantern Control wasn't smacked down. Not that it's super popular or anything but I'd have thought that a deck that makes your opponent want to slit their wrists to escape the boredom would be on their radar.

Not a big enough problem yet. I patiently await bitching about Jund kicking everyone's asses.

Alris posted:Also sorry Mikujin, for what it's worth I still love you. I'm gonna try running four main deck explore and see what the deck can do. Definitely leans harder on Azusa now. If nothing else, I thought of maybe getting into twin but this is wotc's divine way - coupled with their PR issues - of telling me to sell out and just cube. Also: grishoalbrand not banned in any facet? loving lol.

suicidesteve posted:So uh, what good deck actually beats Tron at this point? Burn maybe sometimes and.... infect I guess? None of them. But see, we're "opening format diversity" so it doesn't matter. All those non-viable control decks that lost to everything under the sun will be free from under the heel of twin! Can't loving wait for the "diverse" Pro Tour with 6 different goldfishing non-interactive decks because that's so much better! I'm loving done with modern, everytime there's a decent fair deck everyone flocks towards it who doesn't want to play combo, and then if it's actually playable it eats a ban for "meta percentage" reasons. Because 1 combo-control deck at 10% is obviously so much worse than 5 combo-aggro decks at ~30%. At least with Standard the rotations are announced ahead of time instead of this bullshit. (for context, the five decks I've played the past ~14 months in modern are Ascendancy Combo, U/R Delver, Pod, Amulet, and Twin. I expected Amulet and Cruise to eat bans, so I had back-up decks ready. But there's no way to have a playable modern deck and be safe, so what's the point over playing Standard?)

Surprised they actually hit Twin to be honest, I thought that was supposed to be "the" example of a combo deck since it couldn't go off before turn 4. I guess WoTC wants to shake the format up and see if other combo decks will fill the massive gap?

Thrashing Twin was a huge part of why Grixis Control was playable earlier this year. People who absolutely need to play Snappy will still play control, but the decks won't actually be any good.

If you don't want your deck to banned, just play a bad deck guys. Come on.whateverfor posted:Control wasn't being held down by twin, Twin was the best matchup by far for controlling decks.

No, control is being held down by Tron. Just like pretty much every other deck.

Pryoclasm, in your case. Sweepers you're probably already playing will just poo poo all over it. e: Infect is probably the most easily disrupted Aggro-Combo deck in the format, because literally everything dies to removal.

RIP Twin and Bloom players,  Wizards Digital. Maybe I should make an effort to actually get out and play Modern now that one of the most popular decks just ate it and another popular deck is severely kneecapped. Hopefully more Tron players move away from Emrakul so I can pit Mill against them and only lose to walkers, instead of walkers+graveyard shuffle.Also has anyone checked on Orange Fluffy Sheep yet?
