uggy posted:I do actually wonder what everybody's fav/pet card is. Mine has been Decree of Annihilation from Scourge. I was playing Yu-Gi-Oh as a kid and was stoked as hell when I read the text, which pretty much said REMOVE EVERYTHING FROM THE GAME, and I loved that poo poo! That cemented Red as one of my favorite colors, but Black was Top Color for me because of the removal and discard spells in Scourge, it was so awesome!  GB became my favorite first color combo though, it's above RB, which is weird, because I don't remember what made me like it a lot. It's something from 8th Edition, Mirrodin or Champions of Kamigawa, I honestly don't remember. EDIT: I remember what else made me love Black overall, it was the removal spells in CoH and 8th Edition. EDIT2: Also Black's fuckery with the graveyard made me love it a lot. neetengie fucked around with this message at 06:52 on Feb 7, 2014 |

Niton posted:Stupid rules question: What happens if, theoretically, my opponent's name is -also- the name of a card? Like if my opponent legally changed his name to Gaddock Teeg, would I be able to gain protection from him that way? Nah, because naming a card isn't the same as naming an opponent.

planedriver posted:I'll be visiting New York and Montreal for the first time next month and was wondering where should I go to play? I've dismantled all of my standard decks and in the process of building splinter twin and affinity (hopefully get it finished there) so more modern-oriented stores would be great. I'd take it, seems pretty good. Especially for Affinity, which is cheap sans the Opals and Ravagers.

Tharizdun posted:I put together Rakdos Humanggro and I just can't understand Exava's role. She's a 4/4 Haster for 4, sure, but is that enough? I keep coming back to Cryptborn Horror as an alternative, because dropping him on 4 and also firing off a Thoughtseize to take their board-wipe or big green dude seems good. Not just that, she's a Human, which adds to the usefulness of Xathrid Necromancer and the deck in general being resilient to UW/Esper board wipes.

I did some google searches and came up with the basic strategy of the deck, and winning turn 1 looks like a lot of fun. I saw a couple builds that cost less than $150, could be fun to just have sitting around. Here's the old one, which I think is the best because of the Mimeoplasm kill.

I know a lot of the SCG/WotC coverage got a lot of criticism regarding their commentators, but if you was in their shoes who would you let commentate on which type events and why? Rich Hagon and BDM combo, great commentators together, add Randy Buehler to either and it's good too.

I like it, especially since you open Born first, if you pick a black card from there, you won't automatically be in a slow deck compared to theros, where the cheapest Limited removal was 5cmc. I enjoy the format a lot, although I haven't played a ton yet, just one draft so far.

bhsman posted:There's always an elf player. Always. Yeah, there always is. At my LGS, when new people came in to the store for Modern, they either had Burn or Elves. Other than that, the other decks are Merfolk, Kiki-Pod, Melira-Pod, Scapeshift, AIDs (Infect), and Jund which I play. I'm really curious why some people choose to play elves, it's strange to me.

suicidesteve posted:Last Friday I played Golgari, which played so horribly I just dismantled the deck - 7 rounds of finding no creatures in a deck that hasn't ever lost a game before Friday. Everyone else played netdecked monsters or netdecked control except for one guy playing some stupid thing with Heliod, Ephara, and apparently no win con besides Brimaz and me having 1 creature for 20 turns. What an exciting tournament that was. People do play Affinity in Legacy, and some lists are really good. I'd say drop all the Thoughtseizes in exchange for Cabal Therapies, but that's because I'm more biased to Therapy and if you know the meta well it's better than Thoughtseize. I'd say that your list looks pretty good, and I think you'll do fine.

I don't feel like digging 2 more Therapies out of my Cube, plus I have no idea what anyone plays. I've only played legacy there like, 3 times. Oh yeah I forgot to mention this, some people play Frogmites and Myr Enforcers, mainly because they're decent bodies for free because artifact lands. They are pretty useful for beating down.

Bonus posted:Yeah, I'm kind of getting into modern, but it sucks to know that you're paying $40 for a Cryptic Command that you need for your deck and you know the card isn't worth that much, realistically. I don't know what's weirder, paying $80 for a Misty Rainforest or $18 dollars for a Remand, an uncommon from a fairly recent set. Remand wasn't from Return to Ravnica, it was from Ravnica, which is quite a while ago. I agree it sucks though, I need 2 more Arid Mesa's and Marsh Falts, and it's $160ish which is too much for 4 cards.

Revitalized posted:Cracked a foil Pain Seer. Got all excited, then found out that they're kind of worthless. It's really really good in any aggro deck that uses Black. I tested my mono-black aggro deck with someone at my LGS who runs GR beats and Pain Seer can deliver, he's great if you bestow a Herald of Torment on him or a Gift of Orzhova. He's cool with WB because Frontline Medic and Gift, in Rakdos Aggro he has some Madcap Skills yo.

Samael posted:Sleevechat- Got my first dragonshields in the mail today and I switched over from ultrapro and wow they are so much better. They shuffle so much easier and feel much better quality, never buying another ultrapro product again. I highly recommend anyone looking for new sleeves to get the new Hyper Matte sleeves from KMC, they shuffle so drat well, riffle shuffling is great with them too. The finish on the back of the sleeves feels FANTASTIC, if you're that type of person who double sleeves, they're a great option for that as well. Overall I'd say the Hyper Matte's are the best card sleeves every made since now.

Serperoth posted:I watched those videos a few hours ago. I'm not a shill for the company, but to answer your question it's the quality. In the long run Ultrapros are bad and only good for sealed or draft play from my experience. I've had the Hyper Mattes since they came out, and I haven't had a problem with them yet. Boco_T posted:My Modern deck is a mono-white enchantment prison deck, and I wanted to get 20 of a Plains to put in the deck. Since it's already a troll deck, I got the best troll lands.

Serperoth posted:I've heard good stuff in general about them in general, and if/when I decide to actually spend money on Magic, I don't think I could resist double-sleeving when the value goes significantly higher than "Whatever I got from the Commander 2013 precons". The quantity of 80 does bug me, and Dragon Shields are much more easily available (my LGS doesn't carry KMC), but the videos were pretty informative. I think it'd be good if you bought a case of them, from that Potomac Distribution, 80 is fine for Constructed though, although I can understand the case with EDH.

Olothreutes posted:So in looking at the list of creatures that can be abused with deadeye navigator I've come upon a question. What happens if you cast a creature with a kicker, then flicker it with the navigator? Does the creature remember that it got kicked in its previous casting? My gut says no, it's a new game object and I'm not choosing any alternate or additional costs as it comes into play, but I'd like to be sure. Kicker costs/effects only apply/occur when you cast them, since Kicker is an optional casting cost.
