I feel that if you play Lantern you're obligated to provide refreshments to your opponent while you beat them. A nice Fresca and some walnuts would be a welcome gift to any opponent locked out of playing wizard poker.

Lantern is one of those decks that I can't figure out how anyone beats even with Stony Silence or Kataki.

I know that Lantern has an issue with resolved planeswalkers. Though that planeswalker better be something that erases permanents or deals direct damage.

Shattering spree, lilianas, Stony silence, abrupt decay, pithing needle, phyrexian revoker, burn etc. Lantern loses a lot. But much like playing agianst miracles just know when you have lost and concede.

I play lantern and the new version is so much better. Storm isn't too bad. Tron is nearly impossible but past that I don't mind most matchups. We have tutorable EE, witchbane orb, grafdiggers cage, and pithing needle mainboard. It's exceptionally good. Biggest issues are: - Unexpected early chalice - blood moon if it strands multiple Whirs in hand - World Breaker and Karn Chalice isn't the end due to the ability to Whir EE on 0. But paired with pressure it can be ugly. I rarely feel in a bad spot unless I'm against Tron.

The card you really want against Lantern is Ancient Grudge (here's to hoping they don't have Pyxis).

The design of Kaladesh was bad if it included Aether Hub and Attune with Aether. Those turn energy from a parasitic mechanic that is fairly limited or fine as a subtheme into you get to run the best cards, regardless of color, and all energy outlets are already enabled by your manabase (and themselves) so they're often the best cards.

Most upsetting modern decks: 1. Lantern 2. Bant Spirits 3. As Foretold 4. Scapeshift (if only because the pilot invariably is a shady/sloppy fucker who tries his damnedest to conceal the precise quantity/state of his lands at all times (as well as forgetting exactly how many he's played each turn) generally short of outright having them in a perfect uniform stack) Dishonorable Mention for Eldrazi (all kinds) and Tron (all kinds). Edit to add: Is it unreasonable to, going forward, make Scapeshift opponents play slowly and allow me to count publicly visible objects after each action he takes? 'Cause I really can't figure out another solution that isn't legally-actionable aggravated assault. Tubgoat fucked around with this message at 06:53 on Dec 25, 2017 |

Tubgoat posted:Most upsetting modern decks: You can tell them they have to display each land individually and not stack them. You are also allowed to move cards around by telling them you are going to do it. It is a rear end in a top hat move to reach across and move their lands to count them, but it's a bigger rear end in a top hat move to try to hide them in the first place I also use a die to determine if a scapeshift fucker has played a land for a turn.

As a former Valakut player anyone on that deck who isn't forthright with their land count has no honor and should be stricken down. If I'm going to blow you up with volcanoes I'm going to do it by the books

Spirits is everything awful about faeries except immune to Volcanic Fallout as well. gently caress Spirits. Oh, and their 2/3 flying counterspell counters uncounterable spells.

I am also upset about a current bad deck's successor being unfavourable to odd cards that see very little play even in modern sideboards. Maybe you should instead be mad about playing a bad deck that loses to other bad decks?

Spirits is fun to play both with and against so I'm not sure what the problem is, exactly I'm also not sure why As Foretold is suddenly evil

I'm guessing the As Foretold deck that Tubgoat doesn't like is actually U/x Living End.

In other news I stole a game against grixis deaths shadow as bant spirits by back to back phantasmagoric imaging a snap caster to cast path and coco from the yard.
