I don't think this is playable but I'm willing to go find out edit: okay I just beat some random UB control deck that didn't do much besides play some discard and removal and snapcasters. it doesn't seem awful. mox amber didn't do much, but was in some cases the best discard target. Kari Zev is pretty hilarious, and won me a game. That seems real good with Anafenza; too bad there's no playable tutors here. the jund matchup seems likely to be p bad Cabbages and VHS fucked around with this message at 03:32 on May 2, 2018 |

Years ago my older brother ripped a Gaea's Cradle, and when he quit the game he gave it to me along with the rest of his collection. I sold it recently and asked him what he guessed they went for these days. "Oh dang! 15 bucks?"  Now I can justify buying a volcanic for legacy, even though I rarely get to play, because it's I can kinda convince myself I'm basically just trading for it instead of throwing a profit right back into the hobby.

I finally have a chance to go to Modern FNM, and at my usual store which I haven't been to in a while (so the current meta is a mystery). Do I take --The deck that I've gotten the most reps with in the past few months, which is I like but might be modifying into a somewhat different archetype soon? --The deck that is maybe higher-tier and that I think I'll really like, but that I haven't gotten a lot of opportunities to play? --The deck that I love but is probably pretty bad right now?

You may as well take UR Breach, you have to start putting in reps sometime to figure out how well it's gonna perform for you so you may as well break it out for FNM now.

"Oh dang! 15 bucks?" yeah, wtf  That's just stupid, I guess I'm glad I finished Elves when I did, because I don't see myself ever building another legacy landbase. At this point the cost of a deck is competing with things that I find much more fun, like ballsy ATVs, faster motorcycles, and, uh, structural support for my porch. When the cost of a deck was more akin to a lovely, low-powered motorcycle, somehow it seemed more reasonable to me :-P Seriously though this feels like we're in a big RL bubble. Maybe prices on stuff like Seas and maybe cradle hold, but, $40 forks and $100 wheel of fortunes? As in, cards that are basically EDH cards, with many viable functional reprints? That can't stay there, the demand can't be real. Cabbages and VHS fucked around with this message at 16:44 on May 3, 2018 |

I have long thought that once we hit a point where counterfeit duals are genuine by every reasonable test, well, we won't actually know that we've crossed that line. But counterfeits I've seen, including recently, don't quite seem to be there. People in the bootlegmtg reddit talk about "sleeve playable" and things like that.

At some point I’ll actually have to try to read up on that, it sounds vaguely interesting and I had no idea it was a thing or how it works. The good news for us not doing the crypto currency thing is it sounds like the crash will flood the market with old Magic cards and high end PC graphics cards.

ShaneB posted:I think you're crazy, by the way. of course I am, I'm trying to make cats playable in modern no idea if there's any real correlation here, or not, but buyouts have escalated in lockstep with the proliferation of discord servers with dedicated finance and crypto channels, and I've seen a bunch of posts on /tg/ and shitholes like that where people claim to be either leaning on crypto earnings to buy into legacy/vintage, or direct allusions to financial tools. It certainly may not be a driving factor but I'd be kinda surprised if there wasn't some amount of actual laundering happening through MTG cards; it's less extreme than some of the things people are doing to cash out Cabbages and VHS fucked around with this message at 14:31 on May 4, 2018 |

I’m thinking real long and hard about testing this list in an open meta. It’s a turn slower bogles deck that grinds better in testing so far and has way more cantrips. But I’m very conflicted, I feel like I might be on to something. But it will require testing.

I'm thinking of building modern Mardu Pyromancer, pretty sure the only money card I need is Collective Brutality (which is annoying as I'm sure I'd have picked up a set for next to nothing if I had been playing standard when it came out) Who is regarded as an authority on the deck? Any articles or videos I should check out?

I dunno, if you've already tested it then you definitely know better, but intuitively it just feels strange. As for actual advice, have you tried Moorland Haunt? Feels like it could do a little bit of work.

I strongly dislike unstable mutation in bogles (but I do like it in infect) and the aura swap version of the deck seems a little all in on the combo. (but is also super sweet) I think my current deckbuilding consensus involves running 2x horizon canopy for card draw and as white sources. and maybe dropping to a flat 20 land.

Oh yeah, there's no way you want more than 1-2, but you use colorless mana a bit better than standard Bogles does so I think it's worth a whirl. You could also try running actual Arbor with UG or WG fetches, but then your manabase is a bit more painful.
