You'd have Storm and Hypergenesis out the rear end, it would get really bad really fast.

I still think that the best deck in no ban Modern is Infect Shoal

or at least it's my favorite because tolaria west engines are cool and good

Hypergenesis is actually really bad in no-banlist modern. Infect is good but at the events I've seen Delver (with skullclamp and treasure cruise) does gainbusters. Honorable mention to Mind Sculptor Control, GSZ (and skullclamp) elves, and artifact lands (and skullclamp) affinity.

noticing a pattern?

Skullclamp standard was hilarious.

Tooth & Nail + Skullclamp

Goblins + Skullclamp

Affinity (it had skullclamp)

Really the only decks I didn't see run it were the affinity hate decks and the r/g land d decks

What would a Hypergenesis deck look like in current Modern? Living End except trying to get dudes into your hand instead of in your yard? Obviously something like a turn 3 Emrakul is bad but it's not like you could run cheap card selection or ramp to help the combo.

my guess is something similar to this:
12x 3 mana cascaders
2-3x hypergenesis
4x simian spirit guide
4x street wraith
16-20x land
0-8x tutors(drift of phantasms, for instance), leylines, etc
14+ big dumb idiot

E: Also I forgot skullclamp was in a Modern legal set there, whooops. Elf and Nail is my favorite example of how stupid Clamp was, because it turned out that the best way to build a deck that revolved around casting a 9 mana spell was not to urzatron/12post, but instead jam in 16 1 mana creatures and 4 clamps, despite the fact that it was slower.

I thought Blue/Red Burn featuring Delver and Treasure Cruise was another big deck? Didnt it win one of the big no ban events this year?

Not sure if this is common knowledge, but if you're interested in playing a game which has a lot of the depth of Magic with the interface of Hearthstone then you should come check out the Eternal thread. its free to play and very quick to build a tier 1 deck, plus just went into open beta so there's a lot of newbies to learn with. I've basically stopped playing MTGO because this scratches that itch for me, I have a good deck and I haven't sunk a dime in. The grind is minimal and the packs are cheap. You can even draft like MTGO but asynchronous so you take as long as you want with your picks.

Your LGS should have them for pretty cheap. Just ask if they aren't clearly shelved.

If you need a whole lot of them, you can order them straight from BCW. You'd have to need a whole bunch of them for the shipping to make sense, though.

BCW boxes are on amazon and they are cheap and good.

5 boxes - 13 bucks.

Everyone says this poo poo but unless you specifically get a rider that itemizes and agrees upon your collection's value, nearly every homeowners insurance is going to pay you pennies a pound for damaged cards. You're not gonna get $4/per pack. You're not going to get SCG prices for your foil artist signed expeditions. They're not going to trust that the pile of water-logged ash from your house fire was a foiled fbb legacy deck.

Not true! If you have either proof of what you bought (ie receipts from star city games if you got everything online) or a maintained list of what you own somewhere that shows when the list was made (you can see if this is something you can send in to your agent ahead of time) they will honor it. Or at least state Farm and all state will. You might have to go a tier up from your basic claims agent to get authorization, but it's not 'that' unusual. Source: mom works for state Farm on the claims side and friend had a bag of decks stolen from his car.

FYI, the BCW boxes are crazy cheap. Like $0.10 each. My LGS has a bunch in the back and you just have to ask for whichever size you want. I use the 800 count and 300 count boxes the most.
