Most recent list of Modern 5-0 decks Lots of interesting stuff, including but not limited to: ~29 instances of decks with SFM. This is the league with h0lydiver's pretty spicy Temur Delver list. Cool 4/5 color Elementals deck. Someone played Mono Red Prowess to success with Abbot of Keral Keep in place of Faithless Looting. No one made it 5-0 with an Arclight Phoenix, which was to be expected. ONE Humans 5-0 list. Shout outs to the one brave soul running Seismic Swans.

I wish the omniscience drafts were cheaper. Super fun to mess with but near random as long as you are playing against someone who knows how to draft in these. Got 6 wins with probably the level 0 strategy (sages row + 2x wavecrashers). Someone had an interesting staxish deck with rules of law and discard so that was cool.

The Clowner posted:Just ban fetch lands and shock lands. What's the worst that could happen Hurts Jund, burn, and control. Does nothing about tron or creature tribal. So basically some of the best decks get dropped, but so do a ton of other decks.

I thought that wotc doesn’t show decks that aren’t different by a bunch of cards, so you do not see the same thing with different sideboards. This is true, but I feel like I've seen lists in the past with multiple iterations of some archetypes. I mostly skimmed through this list and did a Ctrl+F to find which decks were more represented than others, such as SFM decks.

All this really tells you is that the Stoneforge package fits into more different decks. There could have been more Seismic Swans 5-0s than Stoneforge Mystic ones, and the data would be the same.

Hellsau posted:Yeah gotta be 20 cards different. That's why you only get one dredge/burn/humans deck per dump, right? Because those are very mature decks, meaning that at the top level 56-60 cards are set. Dredge right now is trying to replace looting, but it was almost always 100% set in the mainboard before. I did see a dump with two humans decks once, but it was when people were trying out that Jeskai version with Kessig malcontents and lightning bolts. So a very different humans deck. SFM is all over the place because lots of people are jamming it in lots of places, to lots of different results. Eventually most of these will die off when someone solves the SFM deck again and we get 1-3 strong places to put it.

This choice was made during the Kaladesh-having Standards, before they finally had to throw their hands up and ban a Lay of the Land with upside.

It's been out for a week and somehow a sealed set of 4 is $25+ above the retail preorder price (roughly $135 pre-order, now $160 from SCG).

Elsha, Extortionist, Sevinne's Reclamation, and that really bad 4 mana rock are more than the retail price.

Mike N Eich posted:This opens up a question for me: how did they decide to make what duals have the basic land types? The original duals had those land types, but only some of the later dual lands would be “Swamp Plains” or whatever. Why the shocks and not others? iirc they were just given land types because whoever was making them wanted them to have something a little extra and it didn't mean much at the time. Wish I could remember where I read that.

Farseek was a cool ramp spell in OG ravnica that wouldn't have been as cool if the shocklands weren't typed.

Wish I could remember where I read that. Maro posted:I designed this cycle for original Ravnica with the goal of finding lands that were a cross between pain lands (aka the dual lands from Ice Age and Apocalypse that damage you when you tap them) and tap lands (aka the dual lands from Invasion, and later Shadows over Innistrad, that come into play tapped). My goal with the pain land part was to front-load the life loss so that there weren't any tracking issues. I gave the lands the basic lands types because we hadn't done a lot of dual lands with basic land types and I thought there would be some fun synergy with them. (Turns out I was correct.) Yup.

I always guessed that the reason they gave the shocklands basic land types was because the entire plane is a city. So it would have been on theme.

Do people just use wrenn and six *instead* of Bob now? I dont see Bob showing up on Jund lists, yet he’s still up to $75. Or are people running both... or is he key in another deck? I haven’t been playing Modern for about a year

Most Jund builds I've seen run at least 2 W6 and the usual cut is Bob.

I haven’t been playing Modern for about a year Price memory, not having a reprint in several years, still played as 3-4-of in a top Legacy deck. Speaking of MTG Finance, now is not the best time to lose a Sword of Fire and Ice.  I've check every deck box and EDH deck it could have been in, still missing. I guess Batterskull and Feast and Famine are what's happening tonight. I'll bring Jeskai Stoneblade and Goblins and probably play Goblins anyway
