suicidesteve posted:Tell that to Chaos Orb and Falling Star. If Chaos Orb and Falling Star were legal today, would the card sleeve that they're in count as being a part of the card or would you have to take it out of the sleeve first?

Chaos Orb calls out needing to touch cards, so clearly you'd take it, and all other cards, out of their sleeves.

when you get hierarchs you should get that thrun outta there and play wilt-leaf liege since your plan is just to smash face with huge idiots. i also think i want some number of RIP with Dredge running around (and you also have no goyfs)

Also I think I may have been the one to originally suggest the Thrun because I ran one maindeck at GP Charlotte in anticipation of jeskai Nahiri decks and it was fantastic all weekend. Wilt-Leaf would be better if you're expecting more creature based matchups.

Any 4c Loam players out there? I'm staring at the 'default' sideboard and have no idea what matchups I'm bringing some of these in for (Garruk, Maelstrom). Also can you engineered plague 'Monk' to kill Mentor tokens? Tokens get their type by default now right?

# ? Jul 19, 2016 14:31 |

Not an Aggro Loam player, but Garruk comes in against Miracles and I would assume stuff like Merfolk and D&T. Engineered Plague on monk will kill Mentor tokens. Pulse I could see vs Miracles (it's an out to Moat, is a CMC3 so hard to CB, and can kill Jace or a bunch of monk tokens or whatever).

Garruk comes in against any grindy matchups, like D&T or Miracles, but especially Shardless where it can't be Decayed and can block Goyfs for days. If you think you need a stream of expendable blockers while you PFire something to death, Garruk's your guy. Pulse is a good general-purpose answer to planeswalkers, so you'll see it come in against most Jace decks. Loam already runs Toxic Deluge so it's actually not for Monks/Elementals, although that's certainly a side benefit.

Is it a bad idea to play Thermo-Alchemist in my modern burn deck? Would taking turn two "off" to cast it put me too far behind? Right now my deck has 12 creatures in it, 4-of's Monastery Swiftspear, Goblin Guide, and Keldon Marauders(I just put them in last night, haven't played them yet, saw them get played in a pauper burn deck by Paul Cheon and liked them there). I should have a couple Grim Lavamancers soon that might find their way in there. Just going through new cards I've opened from EMN, and it seems kinda neat to tap it for one damage, play a burn card, tap it for 1 damage, play a burn card, etc. Soul Glo fucked around with this message at 04:49 on Jul 23, 2016 |

That sounds awful. 3 toughness isn't great in modern and the opponent can kill it without it ever doing anything, and burn is a deck that really needs every single spell. It's also a horrible topdeck.

It's a 2 mana Swiftspear that doesn't have haste or even attack.

Alchemist does the thing Burn wants to do least, which is let your opponent trade their cards for yours 1-for-1 and take zero damage in the process. It's also an awful topdeck.

The Party Ghost is great. You haven't really played Magic until there are like 3 Eidolons on the field at once.

EvilBeard posted:The two drop you're looking for is Eidolon. I am looking for it. Have one so far! I like the idea of Keldon as a short term replacement, though. Does stuff when it enters, when it leaves and can attack for three or block during its short, beautiful life.

Though speaking of new moon cards and burn has anyone tried one or two bedlam reveler? I'm hoping one is enough of a free roll cause I like the card.

That's true, but as a poor without Vials if I were building the deck I would drop the Vials for Souls. Most of the creatures you'd want to Vial in have flash anyway so you wouldn't lose that angle completely. C-Euro fucked around with this message at 15:05 on Jul 28, 2016 |
