Abzan can splash colorless easily enough with 6-8 pains and 2-4 Holdout Settlement. Don't underestimate Holdout Settlement.

I think Crumbling Vistage would be better in Abzan than Holdout...

Ramos posted:That's starting to sound really painful. I wonder if it'll be a good weekend for burn. I think there's like 3 spells that go to the face now, two of which are Fireball variants. I was being somewhat facetious when I suggested Siege Rhino into Reality Smasher. I imagine Matter Reshaper into Thought-Knot Seer into Reality Smasher is going to replace Siege Rhino without being any less annoying/mindless. LSV posted a little shell which, while probably not THE deck is probably close to what you'll see: Creatures 3 x Reality Smasher 4 x Thought-Knot Seer 4 x Matter Reshaper 2 x Eldrazi Mimic 4 x Bearer of Silence 4 x Wasteland Strangler 2 x Sifter of Skulls 2 x Blight Herder Spells 2 x Complete Disregard 4 x Transgress the Mind 4 x Warping Wail Lands 7 x Swamp 4 x Sea Gate Wreckage 4 x Crumbling Vestige 4 x Ruins of Oran-Rief 4 x Caves of Koilos 2 x Llanowar Wastes I'm not convinced the processor package is even vaguely good in standard where your guaranteed way to get stuff into exile is a 2 mana sorcery.

Angry Grimace posted:I think there's like 3 spells that go to the face now, two of which are Fireball variants. Some thoughts on this archetype as I'm testing it too. I don't think you need Sifter or Blight Herder. Sifter I think it just bad and I would cut a Hearder for a 4th reality smasher, you know, the card that is the reason to play this deck. I think we need Silkwrap in this deck badly as a 4 of and in order to be able to cast that i'm playing 3 Swamp/3 Plains and 3 Evolving Wilds and 3-4 Shambling Vents, cutting the Llanowar wastes and 2 Ruins or Orin Reef. White also gives you access to Gideon or Sorin which are both awesome in this deck. I love the transgress but maybe as a 2x not 4x and I hate 4 warping wail. It's been a bit underwhelming. Also Murderous Cut > Disregard, all day everyday. Lastly, I think Hangerback walker should be in here in some numbers. In an unknown meta it's one the best things you can be doing in the early game before you get your gas online and eldrazi mimic is a big fat meh to me

Its slightly harder to cast turn 3 fulminators and you don't have kolaghan's command to keep them coming. I don't think dealing with wormcoil easier is much of a sell to me.

Nah I'm just playing it cuz I got tired of Jund and because my friend will laugh when I am playing a deck that turns creatures sideways. I'm mostly playing it to troll the couple players who I know will switch to burn so I can play kor firewalker.  Maybe one day control will come back to modern.

I hope the plot twist is that it's actually the stupid ghost projection of bolas that Ajani made. Maybe the second set could be called Ghost Dragon in the Shell.

Unlike the MTG storyline, the bloodborne leaves you with clues you can piece together yourself. You know, similar to what used to happen with the tidbits of info in the flavor text. E: Oh right MTG always had those dumb tie-in novels that used to come with fat packs.  Yeah I'll give the point to the bloodborne for this one

Considering Atarka's Command is a Modern card as well thats not too crazy by MTGFINANCE! standards. Where are you getting 90 from? I'm guessing It's the Abbots you don't have, and Abbot is a borderline Modern playable card in and of itself.

If you wanting to watch something funny Paul is trying to figure out how to play infect, failing a little bit, and going full MJ and banning people who disagree with his plays. About as funny as MTG streams get.
