Harnessed Lightning is extremely good. It scales up with itself, answers the premier early threats of the format, and gets quite dumb with any other cards that make extra energy. Casting it for 5+ damage feels so good

mcmagic was right, using the green vessel in UG Marvel is so good. I feel like Glint-Nest has a home as a blocker so I cut out 2 Glintnests and the 2 Steal Artifact spells for 4 Vessels but I'm still not sure if that's optimum and my SB probably could use some work. List looks like this: Lands - 22 4 Aether Hub 4 Botanical Sanctum 7 Forest 7 Island Spells - 16 4 Aetherworks Marvel 4 Attune with Aether 4 Vessel of Nascency 4 Glassblower's Puzzleknot Creatures - 22 4 Aether Theorist 4 Servant of the Conduit 4 Thriving Turtle 4 Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger 3 Emrakul, the Promised End 2 Glint-Nest Crane 1 Kozilek, the Great Distortion Sideboard - 15 3 Negate 3 Ceremonious Rejection 3 Dispel 3 Aether Meltdown 3 Appetite for the Unnatural

That's great and all with your fancy marvel works but consider the following: Upkeep Crew Smuggler's Copter with Bomat Courier Sac Bomat Courier, pitching Scrapyard Scrounger and Fiery Temper, paying R for madness, dome you for 3. Courier Ability resolves, pick up 3 cards, including Incendiary Flow and a Land. Draw for turn, land for turn, exile Bomat Courier to play Scrapyard Scrounger from yard. play Flow, crew second Copter with Scrounger. Swing for 6. BR Aggro is love.

End of Life Guy posted:can't play all your bombs, enjoy a 2-3 record This is what I'm expecting and I'm ok with that. 60 tix worth of Mythics is already a hell of a win, especially since I entered with play points I piled up playing Cube nonstop for weeks. The rest of my pool is weird, but I settled on a UG Energy Turtles. ZERO fixing in the pool other than two Attune with Aether. Saheeli + double gearhulk is tempting, but Nissa seems like the strongest of the bunch. My green makes lots of energy and I have lots of blue energy sinks, so let's try that. Lots of flyers always seems like a solid choice. Count Bleck posted:Erm.. You're a filthy lucksack? For once this is very true.

The shops in my area have been experimenting with a much different and much more interesting alternate format variant than Postmodern: Hyper budget vintage, 25 dollar tgc mid decks with the normal vintage ban list

Formats where you literally can't tell if a player has a legal deck without going through their whole list and googling a bunch of prices seem like a terrible idea.

If you insist on having a price-based format, at least make it something simple like "no card worth more than $2 TCG-mid", where it's easy to check a given card's legality quickly.

Step two, call a judge and get that fucker DQ'd!

Also it's a format that inherently doesn't work well if it becomes popular since it starts to affect the price of the cards.

I remember there was something going around reddit of a pauper-replacement format where you can only play cards that are .01 tix on modo. Seemed to have some cool decks (lots of fun build-around rares that just don't make the cut outside of standard), and also being self-regulating if the format is at all popular.

Right, forgot to mention how the hell that works sanely - Lists are preregistered though a deckbuilder website which does the pricing and total for you.

Seems like a lot of bookkeeping and re-inventing of decks but that's really the only way to make it work.

Yeah I think just inducting all the bulk cards from a set as it rotates would be a good way to do it.

There's some scandinavian rally car sport where you can always offer to buy an opponents car for a fixed price and they have to accept. Could work well for magic too (the idea is no one ever makes the offer because it's never worth it). Would work well on modo, especially if they had a better market for cards. Could even have a cut go to WOTC to make the offer even less attractive
