Owen got rolled. You definitely want to be on the Mono Red side of that matchup.

Challenge for the thread: build a deck that beats all three of these builds of RB Aggro, RB Midrange, and Monored Aggro, ignoring the rest of the format.

Speaking of red in Standard, how likely is Chandra TOD's price to drop once she rotates out? I want to pick up a pair for Modern and am debating whether or not I want to wait another year(?) to do so for only marginal savings. I'm trying to draw a comparison to Gideon AoZ, another 4-mana walker that saw Standard play and whose price fell off post-rotation, but I feel like Chandra maybe sees a little more play in Modern so it's not a perfect match. Thoughts?Marketing New Brain posted:Also this isn't about chainwhirler specifically, just the most WOTC poo poo I've ever seen. I have this same complaint about MTGGoldfish (who may be getting names from WotC for all I know). Half of the pages for the different decklists they post are just named based on the colors of mana used in the deck. Like why do you have multiple pages called "W" on the Modern side when they are either D&T or Martyr Proc, and you also have an actual archetype page named Death & Taxes?

My instinct is some sort of UB controlrange. Both have decent spells stapled on passable bodies, so it should be able to stall until the Scarab God hits the field and starts eating through the red graveyard.

Chandra sees reasonable play in Legacy and some play in Modern so she's not going to truly crater

Settle+Seal Away+Cast Out give you a bunch of exile effects to deal with your opponents recursive threats while Fumigate can clear the board of their normal creature flood. Authority of the Consuls out of the sideboard is something I feel is underrated in the matchup since it turns off haste, delays their ability to crew their heart of kiran with creatures and opens up creatures to an immediate Seal Away. Pretty stock list overall though.

If your local meta looks anything like the pro tour, you could consider pre-boarding against aggro.

How do you beat Arguel's Blood Fast from the RB deck? mcmagic posted:That minute at the end of the match was everything that is great and everything that is horseshit about competitive magic. Isn't Pinto friends or teammates or something with Marcio Carvalho? Pinto attacked poorly for four turns and allowed his opponent to topdeck sequencially - Pinto had two instant-win five drops and was at 21, he should have made different plays. He could have just flooded the board and used Pia Nalaar's falter ability to stop his opponent from attacking through fear of being unable to block. Then he was a little poo poo at the end.

I don't play live but unlike the can't attack clause on Hazoret due to cards, with Ragavan once Keri Zev attacks it's actually on both players to remember to resolve the trigger, right? Who the gently caress would try and pull that with everyone watching lol.

I don't know what the best deck for the meta going forward is, but I get the feeling it has 3+ Chandra's Defeat in the sideboard, as did Wyatt Darby's list. Some kind of UR midrange?

Hazoret attacking or not isn't a trigger, you don't have to remind someone when they declare attackers they have an extra card in hand. Oh unless you just mean is allowed like you have to point out when you own Hazoret can't attack after you've illegally declared, which, I mean I guess that's correct.

Like, he got the token out a second out after tapping his team to attack, its not like blocks were being worked out or anything.

Both players are responsible for making sure a Hazoret isn't attacking illegally. Just like both players are responsible for making sure the extra mana is paid for under a Thalia. You can't decide to let your opponent with 2 cards in hand attack with a Hazoret because you have a Settle the Wreckage for example. Ragavan is a trigger and it hasn't been your opponent's responsibility to keep track of your triggers for a long time.
