His original tweet had a bunch of dumbasses upset at Gerry supporting such a "repulsive organization" as Planned Parenthood or whining about how many babies PP killed. Magic players have some pretty bad apples! GerryT is not a bad apple, Gerry Thompson is a good egg.

Its just another of a long list of powerful decks. MTG goldfish meta page is funny for modern because when you click "see more" you will see at least a dozen more decks that could and will win a big modern tournament in the coming months. Modern is the best.

my local store has started posting the top decks on facebook after their weekly modern night. it owns because you see the meta stuff like eldrazi and scapeshift but they place next to tezzerator and warp world elves. ill try and post tonight's here

Seriously, if any of you have shadowmoor common bulk lying around and aren't looking for devoted druid copies you are doing yourself a disservice. That card is going to continue to spike come modern season. I expect the lows to be well over 10 bucks before gp vegas. By modern pptq season, who knows what it will be at.

Still pretty stoked that I got my copies at like $0.25 each

There are a lot of people who engage in professional outrage who likely found the tweets by searching for "Planned Parenthood." It's really hard to split between the true believers who believe they're fighting the good fight, think tank shills, and genuine trolls.

Have there been any significant upgrades to the list that I don't know about? I've been playing mine mostly unchanged and performing very mediocre lately (2-2 and 1-1-2). Not fast enough to stand a chance against Marvel, and having a much harder time stabilizing against green gods, glorybringers and black zombies.

There have been two paths that the deck has taken recently. 1) add 4x of the 2 mana 4/3 discard a card Minotaur to make the deck more aggressive. I'm not a huge fan of this as it turns on your opponents removal.

2) main deck reduce//rubble and play tempo games, and add a wretched gryff to the main for additional kozileks return flashback.

I haven't faced Jund gods yet but I've beaten marvel before and after sideboarding pretty regularly, haven't lost to either flavor of zombies yet, and I have lightning axe for glorybringers.

Welp just lost two games in a row with Jar to Academy in the Gauntlet leagues because MTGO straight up does not let you stack your own triggers. After the first game, when I had the second game won if the triggers stack correctly, I right clicked and clicked "turn off auto yields," pressed F3 a bunch of times, and then clicked "OK" until the end step and sure enough it put both Memory Jar triggers immediately on the stack without giving me the option.

I guess I needed to play a Necropotence and activate it once so that it'd allow me to stack the stupid Jar triggers at end of turn.

welp the immediate next game was a turn 1 win against MBC so thanks MTGO, maybe I'll get my entry fee comped back and with a 2-1 make more play points than if I had 3-0ed.

I started thinking about who the five best-known Magic players would be (besides people known for other things who happen to also play Magic), realized the buttcrack guy would probably be one of them, and stopped.

His claim to fame before this was his twitch stream which had an interesting angle to get viewers. He would loop a pre-recorded stream with headline promises of giveaways until twitch shut it down. He never got many viewers. He once did a giveaway for hotpockets that he said he would mail to someone.

Also he went into other more popular streams and tried to draw people away from them into his own until he got banned by everyone else and then people spammed his channel with hot pockets jokes and he went on a banning rampage. His stream was terrible, he's thin skinned, has an awful nasally voice to listen to, and he's actually bad at magic. I forgot about him until now.

What the hell are you basing this on?

No one pays attention to him outside the few times someone spreads a dumb thing the pathetic loser said.

His streams were so sad I almost felt a little sorry for the guy for not being a bit more self aware, until I realized he was also a piece of poo poo.

...the person who says honestly that he despairs is closer to being cured than all those who are not regarded as despairing by themselves or others.
If you ever tweet about Magic at all even slightly, odds are he's found your account by keyword searching and followed you to try to get you to follow back, probably multiple times.
