I just want to remind everyone that Thing in the Ice exists and the new Bruna/Gisela are horrors.

Jabor posted:Hanweir Garrison seems playable in an aggressive red deck (4 power for 3, hard to block all the damage, leaves stuff behind, keeps growing if they don't answer it - it seriously ticks a lot of boxes), and that sort of deck would consider playing Battlements. I'd like to try a RW deck with Garrison and Nahiris Machinations. Thalia's Lieutenant would work well in there too. Looks like a fun card.

The Lord of Hats posted:Eh, all you really need for a good clue deck is Ongoing Investigation, so I think you'll still see clue stuff happen. Not nearly as much though, I'll admit. RIP UG Clues. I'm going to make it a point to try and draft it once before EDM comes out and it's impossible. dragon enthusiast posted:Their justification in the articles as "we didn't know if people would like this so we played it real safe" Meld is has "three" cards, but it's actually six cards. One more pair of cards wouldn't have hurt. I agree, they played it way too safe. Barry Shitpeas posted:That doesn't explain what the CMC of a meld card is, for starters I hope it's like split cards where it's both halves but not added up. Edit: Holy crap, look at the semi-animated Brisela on this page: http://magic.wizards.com/en/access-magic-eldritch-moon-episode-2 That's creepy as gently caress.

They want people to cast big bad Eldrazi, and they can't do that if RDW is a thing. Once the Eldrazi start to phase out, Red will come back.

I'm really liking Hanweir Garrison. It's a great creature on its own, and all it takes is playing a couple of colorless lands (with some minor upside), and you gain the ability to upgrade it into a huge threat. If red ends up playable (and that is a large 'if'), I think it'll get played.

mcmagic posted:It was the T1 deck in every standard season last year. What more do you want? Red dominated Pro Tours because pros consistently, ridiculously underestimated the ability of red decks to kill their Sweet Control Brews. Red needs the tools to be viable in formats where people are actually playing cards that are good against Red, rather than having 0 MD slots and maybe 3 SB slots for their weakest matchup. Seriously, look back at some of those runs - those fields were irresponsibly soft against Red.

The English wording of Thalia actually does hit fetch-lands both coming and going. Definitely a contender for Modern.

Irony Be My Shield posted:Fiery Temper is probably the most efficient answer to it in the format. Considering you need spell mastery to make this so I would figure that grasp and price are the most efficient.

IDK I like that the best aggro deck in the format doesn't always have to be Red... Entropic posted:
This seems better in Modern than the old Thalia. It's really good.

mcmagic posted:IDK I like that the best aggro deck in the format doesn't always have to be Red... The arguable "best" aggro decks have been blue and white in various recent formats. The actual deck that happens to win the pro tour isn't necessarily the "best", rather it's just the one that got luckiest and was perhaps best positioned against that particular meta on that particular day.

If a RDW existed to punishment greedily mana-based midrange decks, we could have a more defined aggro/midrange/control meta instead of this Boardstate: the Stallening horseshit we have now.

Honestly I'd put that down to having a bunch of the strongest creatures in the format being 2/3s that can never reasonably attack into similar creatures on the opposite side of the board.

Gilt-Leaf Winnower is very marginally playable. Although the actual best way would be to hold up removal on their turn so they can't make it in the first place.
