I did not mean I love Sands of Delirium. I meant Sands of Time, which was part of the most impossibly stupid lockdown combo of all-time. Sands of Time/Teferi's Realm was the greatest combo and I am unsure of why it is not remembered like Stasis/Winter Orb. Sadly the combo no longer works because the way artifacts with persistent effects work has changed.

Bugsy posted:I thought those tooth and nail/gen wave decks were using nykthos to make tons of mana, but I don't know if the decks are any good. I have never played it or played against it but basically every pro I've seen refer to it just completely trashes it. It's fairly budget though so I bet it'll be popular.

What is your favorite instagram filters for putting on your opponents deck? I pick mine by which deck they are playing. Mono Blue is 1977, whereas R/G is OBVIOUSLY Walden.

LSV bothering Paul Cheon while Cheon is streaming is great too. LSV and Cheon are going to be doing commentary together soon during an event CFB is running so that should be really great.

Boxn posted: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. If you mean why people choose to play elves in Modern I have no idea, but Legacy Elves is a cool deck for handsome people.

Smashing Link posted:Ok so my brother and I have a full set of unlimited duals, about 20 fetches, 6 FOW, 6 Rishadan Ports, 6 Wasteland, 2 Gaea's Cradles, and a large number of Modern staples, mostly bought when they were at their cheapest (duals were mostly between $15-20 about 10 years ago). I keep telling him we should sell the money cards while the market is this high and keep the rest for casual play. Confession: I am also at the point where I am starting to think more about my 401k than wizard poker but anticipate I will still enjoy playing in another 20 years. Advice? Build some kind of protective fortress using mud and the cards. Require someone present their DCI number before allowing them inside. Take a picture of their hand when they do, then tweet pictures of it. When your guests are inevitably frightened away start screaming about Ken Nagle and shaking your fists. Alternately if you're just going to play casually pay for some high quality proxies with the money you got from selling those cards and not following my initial advice.

Travis has a bunch of goofy and interesting decks because he farms out to his fan base looking for cool decks and then "helps them work on it" and then takes credit for the deck idea. Dude is not far off of being a grifter but he also believes his own hype and that he's inventing these decks.

Also I didn't know what mono or poly artifact meant when I was a kid so Icy Manipulator was a 4 mana artifact that turned all of my lands into Rishadan Port before Rishadan Port existed. Let me tell you Icy Manipulator was the nut card for aggro. edit: I did forget about Continuous Artifacts!

The coolest thing about MODO, other than everything, is they're running a bunch of Pro Tour Qualifier Qualifiers to avoid maybe loving up one large tournament they're just going to have a whole bunch of still pretty big tournaments to possibly gently caress up.

Mortimer posted:Would the only safe magic investment be things on the reserved list? What do you mean by safe investment? If you mean like investing for cash purposes then investing in magic cards is really dumb. Honestly a good policy is probably to only buy cards you intend to play with that way you don't buy $200 worth of vengevines and end up trading pain lands for cheeseburgers to make a living.

BizarroAzrael posted:I dunno, will buying the Duel Deck be sure to deliver value? I agree it could have 2 Remand, but stuff like Jace will surely be devalued ahead of time, and will probably slump at rotation, right? Jace AOT is going to crater in value come rotation. Dude is unplayable in Modern, so unless you can get some underground bloodsport RTR block constructed league going, and I understand if you can't talk about that, I wouldn't worry about his value unless you plan on using him during Standard.

The person asking about Storm in Pauper, Fissure Storm is still a thing at least until Cloud of Faeries gets banned (which should have been banned instead of Post in the last update but here we are) The price of Cryptics is kind of funny to me considering the speed of Modern. Casting spells over 2 CMC is for suckers.

HolaMundo posted:What can I expect in mtgo standard constructed tournaments? Skillwise. If you don't have an actual deck that would be viable for winning a tournament yeah you'd just be wasting your tickets. Normally block constructed is a cheap way to get into constructed but that Naya block deck is really stupidly expensive. If you're willing to fork over the cash to build actual tier 1 decks though you should jump in to constructed tournaments, some grinders and pros play in them and are very good but it's nothing you should worry about.

Tharizdun posted:Notably, you can still target Supreme Verdict, so you could, for instance, Remand it to cycle for a card, or play Swan Song on your own verdict to put a Bird into play which will promptly die, but maybe you have a Soul Net and an Sanguine Bond out with the opponent at 1. When playing a silly Bant control deck I used a Plasm Capture to cast a t4 Aetherling with counter backup. It's not exactly a relevant or likely to occur scenario but Plasm Capture on Verdict is a fun thing.
