Lotus Cobra, Ramunap Excavator, and Tireless Tracker is a great grinding suite that can block for planeswalkers if necessary.. if you want to cast a huge Wealth with permission why not try Cobras & KotRs with Spell Queller?

Heeding advice about Lilly & permissions and reasoning through why that might be, I ended up sleeving this up:quote:Academy ruins Tron probably sucks, as usual for my decks.

TheKingofSprings posted:Also I want to talk metagaming with anyone on Bant Coco, I'm using Chew's list with Geists in the board I've thought about Rogue's Passage as a pseudo Kessig WR replacing a basic? Also I really want to try to fit in a Lightning Greaves into the deck after seeing that list at PT RIX. Hasty KotRs seem nasty and it protects active Spell Quellers. Only things I see missing in your SB are: Eidolon of Rhetoric, Settle the Wreckage and Kitchen Finks. I feel like they really help with Burn (not the Settle) and go wide decks.

If you wanna cast villainous wealth in modern, just start with the GB Tron shell like I did  On Tuesday, at 1 life against GW Druid, I tap out for a wealth, get finks, druid, vizier, BoP, path. I path their duskwatch recruiter ( there was a druid on board, but the recruiter represented having to lose my copy of his combo to stop lethal, an outlet if he assembled the combo, and a way to dig for ballista to kill me regardless). I had a second Wealth in hand so I was representing Infinite Wealth if I untapped. Unfortunately he had a chord and another duskwatch as his cards in hand but it was great potential.

Blue Moon FNM Report: Chickened out because of the crazy storm blowing through the northeast US right now  I did some goldfishing at home and thought of something- would I be better off running Abrades in my SB rather than Ancient Grudges? My only green source for Grudge's flashback cost is a single Breeding Pool, and I also have a singleton EE that could possibly benefit from the green mana. However that Breeding Pool feels really awkward to draw, as most of the time it's just an Island that comes in tapped that's also a feel-bad with my own Blood Moons. I could turn my single basic Mountain into a Stomping Ground and then turn the Breeding Pool into an Island, but Abrade might just be better due to its flexibility. What are your thoughts?

When I was on blue moon last week I had 1 abrade main and 1 side and was pretty happy with it. Testing jeskai this week and still playing 1 main.

Our FNM headcount got desecrated by weather and people gone to Worcester and it didn't fire. Jammed some games where I was the oldest person by about 15 years *sigh* Still, gimmie my idyllic small town life jamming games with college kids, over the poo poo that was life in DC, any day! edit (jamming games on Mage on a gray day while I procrastinate stacking a cord of wood): (to the tune of "You Are My Sunshine") -- I made my land drops, all of my land drops. I made my land drops each turn today -- my opponent, they missed their land drops, and now my opponent's run away. They scooped on turn 3, it was just turn 3; though they started with a leyline in play; they scooped on turn 3, it really burned me, because I was on curve to play EE into jace.

How are the Eldrazi and Taxes decks? I was looking at this and would love to cast Sculler and TKS: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/968788#online Bonus is that most of the cards I don't have aren't $100 each. However, the mana seems potentially bad since you aren't searching for anything for fixing. I was also thinking of a GW hatebears list, but this seems to be a little more accessible right now.

I am looking to build on MTGO, but I would need the Eldrazi and some pieces of the mana base. The hand and land disruption seem pretty good right now, but I have only just got back into the game recently.

Has anyone tried out Grixis Control in Modern recently? I've seen a few lists for the deck popping up online, and in comparing them all I have pretty much everything the deck could want outside of a couple of Jaces and probably a fourth Snapcaster, all of which I was going to pick up eventually anyway. Wondering if any goons have been working on lists. E: Based on what I've seen online and what I own, I think this is where I want to start- 1 Blood Crypt 2 Bloodstained Mire 2 Creeping Tar Pit 2 Field of Ruin 3 Island 1 Mountain 4 Polluted Delta 3 Scalding Tarn 2 Steam Vents 1 Sulfur Falls 1 Swamp 2 Watery Grave 1 Countersquall 3 Cryptic Command 1 Dreadbore 1 Electrolyze 2 Fatal Push 2 Jace, the Mind Sculptor 3 Kolaghan's Command 4 Lightning Bolt 2 Logic Knot 1 Search for Azcanta 4 Snapcaster Mage 2 Spell Snare 2 Tasigur, the Golden Fang 1 Terminate 4 Thought Scour 2 Thoughtseize 1 Vendilion Clique //Sideboard 2 Anger of the Gods 2 Ceremonious Rejection 1 Crumble to Dust 2 Dispel 2 Dragon's Claw 1 Izzet Staticaster 1 Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet 2 Nihil Spellbomb 1 Stone Rain 1 Vendilion Clique I also want to try Young Pyromancer, Lili of the Veil (which I've seen in some SBs), and maybe more discard? I've also seen a lot of these lists running a singleton Helicopter Parents which I could be talked into. I am not a control player in any sense, some give me some guidance please.

I think I'm going to play Miracles this week, but I might sleeve this up to. It's "cards I have laying around BBE ponza", I am missing some of the usual pieces. It's a little bit of a glass cannon, but pretty hateful.

Rampager seems pretty bad if you're not all in aggro, and that's around the top of the curve where Ponza starts running out of gas, I think you just want more threats there.

My list, which is much more resilient for the late game: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/939158#paper It's specifically tuned with Burn and Affinity in mind, Obstinate Baloth and Thragtusk put in work.

I'm gonna run this faeries list again. Although I went 1-2 last week, it was mostly because of a few clutch draws in games where I was about to stablize. It's been pretty fun and I enjoy getting to play faeries again. https://deckstats.net/decks/21329/922075-jace-is-a-faerie/en

Some decent tron & storm hate in Dominaria, anyway. Dampening Sphere (2) If a land would produce 2 or more mana it produces C instead of any other color or type. Spells cost (1) more for each spell played this turn

Tim Raines IRL posted:Some decent tron & storm hate in Dominaria, anyway. And hoses tron like no body's business  Went 3-0 with the faeries list I posted earlier. People do not know how to sideboard vs tempo, they keep trying to prep for control but the incremental advantage I gain from a variety of sources just snowball effect them down. Also Bitterblossom is a very good card and it's fun playing with 3 previously banned cards as well.

Pretty sure Prison decks don't really give a gently caress about what they're playing, especially a t2 Blood Moon. I don't know about the Elves v Jund match up though, seems like it's bad even before the unban.

Should I play UR Breach or GW Ramunap/KotR Company at FNM tonight? I know GW better than UR and I think it's a better deck right now, but I've been meaning to get some reps in with UR and might just need to take some lumps tonight to get some experience. Help me make important life decisions goons.
