Has anyone else noticed that Bob Huang's latest Grixis Delver list has a 16 card sideboard? http://sales.starcitygames.com//deckdatabase/displaydeck.php?DeckID=116987 An identical list from both EW and the last Legacy Open, what the hell?

We had a guy at our shop trade four sneak attack, four show and tell, and two emrakul the aeons torn for all ixalan packs last week. Some people just are aren’t that bright when it comes to packs.

This particular player is well known throughout our Magic community and at life in general for being a clueless loving idiot. I just want to yell at her sonetimes about the colossal waste it is to throw away a good start to a Modern mana base for booster packs.

Some people just are aren’t that bright when it comes to packs. I think he should be praised for lowering the count of Sneak and Show players so because I am a huge idiot moron hellfucker and just love to set money on fire to play this collectible card game for children (and because the best scene in the US for it is here), I've started putting this together for 93/94 Creatures: 4 Merfolk of the Pearl Trident 4 River Merfolk 4 Lord of Atlantis 3 Serendib Efreet 2 Clone Spells: 4 Counterspell 4 Swords to Plowshares 4 Disenchant 3 Force Spike 1 Unsummon 1 Braingeyser 1 Time Walk 1 Ancestral Recall 1 Timetwister 1 Chaos Orb Mana: 4 Tundra 4 Strip Mine 5 Island 4 City of Brass 1 Tolaria 1 Sol Ring 1 Mox Pearl 1 Mox Sapphire 1 Black Lotus Sideboard: 4 Dandan 3 Phantasmal Terrain 2 King Suleiman 2 Hurkyl's Recall 2 Blue Elemental Blast 1 Balance 1 Maze of Ith It's likely "correct" to just play a pile of serendib efreets, serra angels, and like a Serendib Djinn or Thunder Spirit or two but that's loving boring so I went this route. Clone is hot copying either Efreet or Lord, or an opponent's serra angel or something. most old school decks have Mishra's factory in them, but I opted to play four strip mine as my colorless lands because strip mine is Very Good. It's possibly a little light on mana, but the deck is really low-to-the-ground

I would love to play a format where Serendib Efreet is playable but I also play Magic with people that would never show up for unlimited proxy Legacy or Vintage.

I can't even get sanctioned Modern to fire at a store where people pour a bunch of money into Masters sets buying packs looking for that one Commander single they need and trade in their fetchlands and Noble Hierarchs and other power cards for more packs.

He'll even order it for you from Cool Stuff Inc. or ChannelFireball if you ask. He'd also love it if we had Modern fire every month just to get me to shut up about it and so people buy some of his Modern singles. Part of the problem is that he has Modern scheduled at a time that no one can remember. Who the gently caress remembers "second-to-last Friday of the month"? He changed it to the last Friday of the month, and great loving timing because the last holidays of the year are at or near the end of the month.

RIP, I remember reading the second-to-last Friday and that just confused the hell out of me why anyone would schedule it that way. The new LGS I'm going to now is gauging how many people actually wants modern tournies. Hopefully it's a decent amount of people so we can get that to fire consistently. I'm going there right now because it's closer to where I live now and they also do free FNMs with prizes.

Our other problem is that this is a card and game store in central Wyoming. If I lived in Casper, a town with a population of 50,000, then there wouldn't be a problem because there's four different places to play at. There's one tiny shop where I live in Riverton wit2b a satellite store an hour away in Thermopolis. Ten thousand people live here, but the Magic scene is pretty small. I think we should at least make Modern the first Friday, but because they do Standard alongside it, it splits the base. I've suggested just making the Modern night for FNM Modern only, but the owner thinks he'll lose business if only four people show up for Modern but twelve Standard players stay home.

Why wouldn't he just have a separate designated night for modern? Only one store in our area does modern fnm, the store I go to did it during the fatal push month but stopped when attendance dropped. Instead one store nearby has modern every monday, the store I frequent every tuesday, and a third store that caters more to younger people has modern on thursdays at 4:30 to get the kids but avoid the older grinders.

Because he's got D&D on Tuesday night, alternates between Force of Will and Magic draft on Wednesday afternoon and then board games at night, Pokémon on Thursday night, FNM all day on Friday, and Standard Showdown and Magic draft all day on Saturday. Closed on Sunday and Monday. People here would rather let their mountain of cards that rotated out of Standard rot in a closet than give them a second life in Modern.

So, I would really like to get in to modern and UR Breach looks something I'd like to play, something like this: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/archetype/modern-u-r-breach-40047#paper I've got: 3x snapcaster 3x Emrakul 4x Breach 4x Lightning Bolt 4x Serum Visions 1x Izzet Charm 2x Electrolyze 2x Spreading Seas 1x Desolate Lighthouse 1x Misty Rainforest 1x Polluted Delta 1x Steam Vents 1x Sulfur Falls How should I prioritize my buys and trades? Playset of Scalding Tarns is probably gonna be last anyway. How important is Vendilion Clique? Is there some good budget replacement for it?

I kind of want to build that deck too but I already have enough decks that I don't play. Maybe if I get bored of Valakut Breach I will re-purpose my Emmys and Breaches into that... There are a lot of pricey cards for the deck which sucks, but many of them are useful in other decks. I know that the list also runs a couple Blood Moons, those are currently as cheap as they've been in a long time so it might be good to pick them up now.

Please put four blood moons in your blood moon deck. You can also get away running the cheaper khans blue fetches and not run the mountain. It's not great but it will tide you over until you get the tarns. Buy your cliques now because they're the cheapest i've seen them

Took 42 land swans to Modern Monday, went 4-0 with a round 1 bye, Beat Grixis Deaths Shadow, Mono Blue Tron, and Affinity. Highlights included winning with Days undoing two games in a row, and affinity just having no idea what the gently caress was happening. I think I'll probably take this deck to the next middling modern tournament for the laughs. Played Bant spirits last weekend at a 5k and went 5-2-1 (would have been 6-2 but I intentionally drew with a teammate) I'll have a tournament report up in the next couple days.

I'm pumped to play a ton of Legacy in Atlanta this weekend  I never get to play around here anymore, the one store that stole all of the Legacy players (thanks to allowing proxies) is run by this Libertarian dipshit I refuse to give my business to  . The upside is that the less savory side of the local magic community here naturally gravitates to that guy, so by avoiding his store I rarely have to deal with MRAs and racists, the community at my regular store has been filtered rather nicely.
