This deck confuses me and fills me with a sense of dread. But I do love a good wishboard, I wish (:downsrim:) they were legal in Modern but they'd probably be too good, or at least make combo decks better than Wizards probably wants them to be.
Its got infinite lines. Its not good, but its fun. It makes ridiculous amounts of mana, finding a way to win that mana is the though part.

I had no idea people still played that deck TBH. I can't imagine the Probe ban did it any favors.

Speaking of weird Modern decks, I had a couple of different Mardu decklists saved from way back when and I realized that I'm pretty close to having everything I need to build them-

2 Concealed Courtyard
2 Godless Shrine
3 Marsh Flats
1 Mountain
4 Plains

The lists were a couple years old so I tried to freshen them up with some new stuff or things I already have. Is there something here worth developing further? Anyone play something like this? I'm pretty sure I copied the original lists from here...

Cool stuff! Starting to feel a little weird for seemingly being the only person on the planet running RG Breach without SSG. Also if it weren't for the Goyfs I would be shockingly close to being able to build that BUG Delver list. Someday!

E: And yes that Rat deck is sweet. I totally forgot about Rabblemaster, why am I not running it in that tokens list I just posted?

I picked up the new gifts ungiven storm deck since it was super cheap on MODO, and it feels really really strong. You can go off deterministically on T3 with just a ritual and gifts ungiven if you managed to stick a baral/electromancer the previous turn, and there are tons of hands that win on T3 or T4 from an empty board. Playing baral on T3 and remanding their T4 play to loot a past in flames into your graveyard is also the most disgusting thing ever.

This has been my go-to for a couple years now, despite being able to make every other top tier Legacy deck. Excluding those Lands decks because :rolleyes:Tabernacle:rolleyes:.

I'm working on my Fatal Push/Dismember split; Eldrazi is still a menace 'round here so I'm keeping at least one Dismember.

Took my newly finished Lands deck to FNM, and finished 3-1. I lost the Lands mirror, which is intricate, yet excruciating. I beat Infect, BUG, and BR Reanimator. I think I need to tweak my board a bit for my meta.

Took my newly finished Affinity deck to FNM, and finished 3-1. I lost the Affinity mirror, due to keeping a bad hand with bad draws. I beat BW Tokens, Grixis Delver, and RG Scapeshift. I still need one more Mox Opal.

Was it Scapeshift Scapeshift or RG Breach that's also running Scapeshift? I've been on the straight Breach version for a few events and like it, but I have yet to play the Affinity matchup which is one that worries me on paper. How did that match go?

It was Scapeshift Scapeshift. Tbh the match was like most wherein if he drew well he would've won & if I drew better I would've won faster (we both drew mediocre & I went 2-0)

e: Affinity is probably a bad matchup for you esp if they Thoughtseize you post-board

Which version of Suital Delver is better? The combo hate version with Stifle and multiple Spell Pierce main or the Midrange Grindfest with Hymms and Lilianas and MD Discard? I also feel like cutting the Gofys for Mandrils is correct right now since Fatal Push is a beating and a half... Thoughts?

super pretty but that deck is bad IMO it doesn't have a single elf in it



i think BUG is way better these days now that it's reliably got 5-6 elfs in it. makes it 6/30s as good as the deck with 30 elfs
