Hello friend, I have codenames and Caverna ready to play before FNM tonight. I think they make for good warm-up games before playing wizard poker.

I play Merfolk and this is correct.

Sometimes the sideboard plan for affinity is "Put in the Chalices, and pray for them in the opening hand" and when it works, it works so well.

I've been considering getting some Threads of Disloyalty as we have a shitload of Goyf decks in our modern scene last time I checked. How is Threads for you?

Most of the Eldrazi deck, except for the manabase, is from one small set. drat.

Also, is everyone else very mildly annoyed by players at their LGS calling colorless mana "Wastes" or "Waste mana"? As in, "Reality Smasher costs four and one Wastes".

Threads is specifically for Goyf decks and it's almost always really good. It's pretty great for stealing Scavenging Ooze too. I mean they can Abrupt Decay it but it's such a beating when they don't have it.

The misconception that the new colorless symbol is some kind of kooky new mana is probably never going away.

Be happy that's what they're calling colorless.

There's two names I've heard it go by in this quality area of Jersey.

"Anus Mana"

"Goatse Mana."

Is there a list up anywhere for the CFB Eldrazi deck yet?

From what I can tell it's something like

Relic of Progenitus?
Chalice of the Void (I assume you try to drop chalice on 1 on turn 1 with a spirit guide?)
Eldrazi Mimic
Matter Reshaper
Thought-Knot Seer
Reality Smasher
Endless One
Simian Spirit Guide
Dismember
Spellskite (sideboard?)

Eldrazi Temple
Eye of Ugin
Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
Blinkmoth Nexus
Mutavault
Wastes (As a 1-of?)
Ghost Quarter

Ratchet Bombs in the sideboard.

With most of those being 4-ofs. And I assume there's Wasteland Stranglers or something in there to take advantage of the exiled cards from Thought-Knot and Relic?

It's definitely a lot better than Hurkyl's Recall. Recall is only really good if you do it during their end step so you get to crack back in.

Unfortunately they also like to do a lot of damage when they alpha.

I need 2 more. I'll hold out another couple months for when Modern Season ends.

If I have a collection that I can export into CSV values, where can I upload it, to sort by most valuable?

Also, I never really liked Eldrazi, so I might sell my Oblivion Sowers, and It Betrays, which are apparently both worth 10$ now? Should I wait?

I believe I've also seen Warping Wail. Not sure I saw the Mutavaults either. Otherwise that looks about right.

Ehhhh you can still pretty easily die to lands through Chalice, I wouldn't say it's absolutely way better than Hurkyl's for the Affinity match up. It's way better to have Chalice in the board almost all of the rest of the time though, it's actually okay against burn or u/r delver or w/e, whereas recall is flat useless.
