Yea, Sundering Titan is in my G/R Tron deck (usually the loner deck for our tourneys).
Takes me back to the Tooth and Nail days.

Brad Nelson and crew were running in the sideboard of the sneak/prison/stompy deck because the clock goes 1, 6, 8, dead. It's also popping up online in the stompy deck. for the same reason.

Does anyone have that cool proxy-making website that assigns a number to a card name (with cost) depending on the deck you are using? Thanks in advance.

Nathan Holliday is playing modern Jeskai Ascendency on stream right now if people want to see how crazy the deck is.

I played a version of this on Monday and oh boy it is bonkers. You can play a lot of redundant cards and the looting ability on Ascendancy lets you pitch them when you're done with mana guys/lands.

I have a free Modern tournament in town tomorrow and the winner gets a box. What should I take? My choices are-
Goblins
Esper Mill
MonoU Tron
I'm leaning towards Mill since I 3-0'd the last weekly Modern night I piloted it in, but Tron is probably the "best" deck of the three though I don't have much practice with it. And Goblins is so much fun and can take people by surprise. I'm not super familiar with the meta though I've seen Junk, Jund, UG Infect, and GW Auras in recent months.

Esper mill. More fetch lands in more places.

You know, I was out. I was clean and happy for like 6 months. I made Legend in Hearthstone, was working on a hobby game, I'd moved across the country and was meeting new people. I even ditched my old PC for a Macbook, just to keep temptation away. Times were good. But then I hear I should maybe try drafting KtK once. That it might be "my thing". From what I can tell, that was a week ago, but it's hard to say. All I know is I woke up this morning, face on my keyboard, to a virtual machine running the devil itself. There was a New Product dialog open with 8 Smoke Tellers, 4 Awaken the Bear, 8 packs, and a QP. I'm scared.

Edit: I'm in another draft now and I hate what I'm becoming.

Sorry for your loss.

I just picked up some cards at a garage sale. Cut a pretty good deal with the guy so we both are gonna do pretty good.

However, there is a box of water and road salt damaged cards that is pretty amazing. Most is garbage but if I see something really cool and damaged I have to keep it.

I won't hear anything bad about Esper Mill in Modern, the last two times I've competed at my store with it I've walked away with over 20 packs of winnings :colbert: Also I accidentally brought it to a Legacy night and beat Manaless Dredge 2-0 with it, a feat that I am immensely proud of.

I have a solid record with it. So solid people started playing an emrakul in their boards.

A good friend of mine recently passed his Level one judge test and was curious about how people get those judge polos. He quickly learned that there's no room for fun in the world of Magic judging.

http://www.reddit.com/r/mtgjudge/comments/2j6mz5/i_just_passed_my_level_1_today_this_is_the_most/

I don't know why anyone would want to judge a large event. I passed a L1 just so I can handle some local stuff, but losing money to work a 10+ hour day at a SCG Open or the like sounds like my idea of hell.

I used a site like Pucatrade before for video games. They seeded you points as a new member and I might have gotten extra from some event. I just took the points and got a couple $15-20 games and left. Don't know how these things keep themselves running when anyone can just do that.

I lost a bunch of points to a site like that and had forgotten. Thanks!

The one I can't quite be sure of the ruling is clever impersonator. If I whip it back, does it become a new object on the battlefield and not get haste, but also not exile at the end of the turn? I think it comes down to what order do the triggers apply, or do I get to order them?

Whip doesn't care if its not a creature anymore, it still exiles it at EOT. It should still get haste as well.

The stack is a WAY simpler interpretation of the rules than the old broken way. It's considerably simpler. Someone post the chart.

Other changes are a bit more debatable but the stack and cleaning up card types is the best thing that has happened to the game.
