I'm pretty certain pros are buying it for teams, but the window of upside opportunity is likely missed. Then again, modern magic finance.

mcmagic posted:I have no idea if that deck is good or not but people really like it and the gameplay does seem pretty fun... Any modern deck with a lot of basic lands seems to gain popularity pretty quickly if it even becomes remotely good. Taking turns did this as well.

Pac-Manioc Root posted:I was able to trade Chandra and a handful of 3-5 dollar standard/modern cards for a Revised Wheel of Fortune the other day. Seemed like a good deal to get a Blue Chip cardboard rectangle. Look at the GP schedule to see when the standard events are and base them off that. Some people like to include pro tour too but nobody aside from those guys play in those events so I don't see why you should.

Tainen posted:Another Huatli Has potential I think, but doesn't protect itself, can come down with nothing to do besides +1 for nothing. Obviously you play it with creatures though. Might actually work well with the white vampire token generators.

There are more powerful things you can be doing by the time you have mana for this in elves and most are producing infinite mana at that point.

My favorite part of spoiler season is everyone trying to shove bad/marginal cards into already tuned modern decks. Even LSV fell for it with Claim//Fame and Grixis Death's Shadow.

They seem to be doing 2/2 two color lords for all the tribes, but I'm really glad for this. Think vampire tribal has a shot, and there's a bunch of stuff I'd like to fiddle around with in Modern.

I must be missing something, here +1 feels like it belongs on a PW with a repeatable -X loyalty ability. I guess the emblem is I guess fine, but after that she doesn't really seem to affect the table a ton. One fatty that needs to be chump-blocked or removed per turn? I like the boros Huatli better (which is still not that much) since she's crapping out good tokens and potentially breaking open a stalled board for your dinos to swing in and eat a dude.

Sickening posted:There are more powerful things you can be doing by the time you have mana for this in elves and most are producing infinite mana at that point. The primary issue Elves runs into is running out of gas which is where the emblem would come in. But I think by turn four all your creatures should be on the board so you'd prefer shaper's sanctuary because it's likely to get you more cards than this will, if you keep all your creatures on the board they should be dead, and if they're zapping your key guys you want cards from that instead of from new creatures. What I am wondering about though is if this would basically mean every time you draw anything but a land, you keep playing cards until you draw a land (since your only other non-creatures are probably chord/company which are gonna put creatures on the board anyway). I don't think it will pan out but it would probably be worth testing out.

This seems pretty good with perilous research, no clue if it's good enough though E: Definitely pumped for someone to try it on MODO, screw up sequencing, and exile their hand plus two cards permanently though

I had assumed (without basis, I realise now that I have been instructed otherwise) emblems were unique. Still not sure she'll find a home in standard but her card draw engine potential is ofc stronger now that I am aware of this. Thanks!

I really like 1 mana 2/2 creatures in red. Saying that, the drawback of this card was a little steep. I honestly don't think it needed a drawback at this point.

Is it really that much of a drawback? There's quite a few good low cost pirates now. T1 buccaneer revealing Kari Zev or freebooter seems decent.
