The cards with enrage just don't seem very good in constructed. It's too hard to trigger and they are all overcosted.

GoutPatrol posted:Very true. As a magic player in Taiwan, I was very lucky to start playing in 2012. They had the first GP that year in over 4 years and it was a really big deal for everyone here. We got ones in in 2014 and 2016, but now we're getting skipped over again. When I went to Kuala Lumpur 2 years ago and played at a store, and they were asking if I could go to the GP in a couple months. In APAC where places outside of Sydney get a GP every couple years, it sucks for morale when you get passed over. For me, the only big tournament you have is the World Cup once a year, or I would have to fly out to Hong Kong or Beijing. I'm going to HK in October because it is the first Modern GP I can get to, but I'm moving poo poo around 10 months out at work so I can do something I really love. I pretty much refuse to/can't travel unless I get really lucky and it's on 1 of the 2.5 weekends I get every year, and I still have to work out a way to get Friday off and give up the one chance I get every 5 months to actually see my family who all work a normal schedule on the other side of the state. This got me curious so I looked up GPs this year that there is any chance I go to. Pittsburgh: standard Columbus (4 hours away): team limited I guess they're only releasing the schedule for the first half of the year because??? so maybe there will be something good going on later in the year. mcmagic posted:Legacy is fine. The only problem with it is the cost and lack of event support. Legacy is fine if your favorite thing in the world is turn 1 Deathrite or turn 1 Chalice. If you like a thing that isn't midrange snoozefests or skillfilly having 2 mana and a Chalice on turn 1, you're gonna have a bad time.

That seems bad. Unless you're about to kill that +1 counters= vampire tokens guy or still have four open after a big spell swindle the best you'll do is maybe hit a call to the feast? Maybe it's good against anointed procession decks.

Opponent's Damnation with a bunch of things on the board, a million Revel in Riches triggers. "Flash in Crafty Cutpurse in response to all the triggers?"

My hopes of having a viable Pirate deck keep getting buried deeper and deeper. The package of Lookout Dispersal, Kitesail Freebooter, Hostage Taker, and Siren Stormtamer is so close to being something, but Temur Energy trumps the midrange field.

I've been trying to do the same thing with R/U aggro pirates or U/G ramp or even just using stuff like my two Kefnets or Cryosphinx sovereigns. There isn't much room to function without energy while it's still relevant. Edit: U/G ramp to Sphinxes with Amonkhet/Hour pieces like Bounty of the Luxa, Weaver of Currents and River Hoopoe to survive until I can start dropping Glyph Keepers and whatnot seems fun but I don't know how I'm going to make that a competitor in the current standard meta.

I think red-based pirates is likely to be better. If the lands were there to go three color it'd be great but there's just too many tap lands to do 3cAggro. I'm thinking BR might have some potential: 4 Daring Buccaneer 4 Deadeye Tracker 4 Fathom Fleet Captain 3 Kari Zev 4 Scrapheap Scrounger 3 Captain Lannery Storm 2 Ruin Raider 2 Fell Flagship 1 Chandra, Torch of Defiance 4 Fatal Push 2 Lightning Strike 1 Abrade 2 Unlicenced Disintegration 1 Vraska's Contempt 22 Lands Something like that. I've been really impressed with Deadeye Tracker in testing, the card filtering is real and it's good against Gearhulks and GPGs and Scarab Gods

 Did anyone have a 2 mana Flash Deathtouch in Black on their bingo board? This card seems pushed as hell.

Flash Deathtouch works best if blocking but I suppose the combat trick makes it work best if attacking. The problem is your other creature is probably better than a bear with Deathtouch. Basically, the creature and the ability work against each other. Still good.

a 2/2 flash deathtouch pirate by itself might find a home in those quasi-faeries UB pirate decks that popped up before temur energy ate the metagame and ramunap red ate the scraps I dunno, could be a useful roleplayer.

 I'm not a RR expert but this seems a good way to sweep away cheap blockers/tokens and another way to just pump out finishing damage in the endgame

 First Strike When Dire Fleet Reckles ETBs, exile target instant or sorcery from an opponent’s graveyard. You may cast that card this turn and you may spend mana as though as it were mana of any color. If that card would be put into a graveyard this turn, exile it i stead.

I agreed with you about Deathrite as I’ve said before. It should be banned. Chalice isn’t a fun play design but the decks that play it aren’t any good. Those cards aren’t ruining the format.

GoutPatrol posted:Does this let you cast a cards with alternate costs for that cost (like FoW?) I don't see why not, but you'd have to be able to pay the alternate cost since this effect doesn't change or mitigate alternate costs. So if you hit FoW with this you'd need either [5] or a blue card in hand to exile.

 Each player chooses any number of creatures under his or her control with a total power of 4 or less, then sacrifices all other creatures under his or her control.

Wow, this seems almost playable in Modern as Snapcaster 5-8 (more likely 5 and 6) but then you get matched up against a deck like Affinity or Bogles and it's just Youthful Knight. Still feel like snapping up a playset isn't the worst idea though.

 Disperse in the Wind 2U Instant Exile target nonland permanent. For as long as that card remains exiled, it's owner may cast it without paying its mana cost.

The thing I’d want to do with it with planeswalkers is use a powerful minus that leaves my PW low on loyalty and vulnerable to attack, then blink it when they attack it with creatures on their turn. Still seems impossible kind of niche and 3 mana is a lot for what’s often gonna just be a bad unsummon.
