I straight up know nothing about Darigaaz though.

edit: Nope, there's our one truly non-dick dragon. Sadly, that means like everyone else nice, the Phyrexians wrecked him.

Two, actually. OG Darigaaz, a.k.a. Gherridarigaaz, died saving Urza from Radiant.

Her son, Rhammidarigaaz, a.k.a. Darigaaz, the Igniter, sacrificed himself in a volcano to turn the other 4 Dragon Primevals mortal because they were wrecking poo poo.

You loving idiots need to stop vomiting your turdposts for a couple of days. It's getting old. This thing is literally more vulnerable than virtually every other creature in standard. The only maindeck removal it dodges is Chained to the Rocks and it also dies to Reclamation Sage which is the loving ~MAINDECK ENCHANTMENT REMOVAL~ you keep pretending doesn't exist. Christ you cunts make MtGS look loving smart.

FYI, if you have to ask an Internet forum which color/guild/brood pack is the best at the pre-release, you're probably not winning the tournament even if you get it.

Just pick whichever seems fun you nerds.

Oh, I just saw this killer game of flip + rip where the guy tore a foil Liliana out of a russian Innistrad pack in front of this 11 year old disabled kid who needed that as his last card for the Modern deck he had been slowly buliding over the last 3 years by saving money scrubbing floors at the orphan's home he lives at.

Serves that kid right. That deck is junk, anyway.

Loaded question for you guys, so with the new dragons cards, what deck do you think is going to be the deck to beat? Or is it going to be a reasonably open standard like the past 6 months or so has been?

Someone is selling a Mono-U Tron deck, asking for 300 euros for it. List is as follows:

1 Platinum Angel
3 Solemn Simulacrum
1 Sundering Titan
2 Treasure Mage
1 Wurmcoil Engine

4 Condescend
1 Cyclonic Rift
4 Expedition Map
2 Mindslaver
1 Oblivion Stone
4 Remand
4 Repeal
1 Spell Burst
3 Talisman of Dominance
4 Thirst for Knowledge

1 Academy Ruins
1 Oboro, Palace in the Clouds
8 Island
1 Tectonic Edge
1 Tolaria West
4 Urza's Mine
4 Urza's Power Plant
4 Urza's Tower

And the SB:

2 Aetherize
3 Dismember
1 Ghost Quarter
2 Spell Pierse
4 Squelch
1 Wurmcoil Engine


I see no Karns in there, and I have an Ugin of my own, but I don't know if it's good value. The Islands are full-art ones (from what he said), and the Wurmcoils include their tokens, I presume from the Commander deck. Any goon opinion? (If it's long let me know and I'll fix it)

The top standard decks are here:
http://www.starcitygames.com/events/coverage/71_or_better_standard_decklist.html
3 RDW, 2 Sidisi Whips, 5 Siege Rhinos of various speeds, 1 Abzan deck without Siege Rhino (:wtf:), both kinds of Jeskai, U/B, Esper, G/W. Basically Abzan is the best deck and it's varied otherwise, so same as always. The Abzan decks have for the most part changed nothing other than adding Ultimate Price and Dromoka's Command.

The ultimate winner of the tournament did put new Sidisi in his Abzan deck but he was only 5-3 in Standard so...

It's kinda awkward to lump Constellation in as "Abzan without Siege Rhino".

It is a flex spot really, some versions run probe, some peek, some thought scour. It really points to how awful modern blue cantrips are more than anything. I don't get quite why Toshimo picked this as a thing to stake himself on, he's wrong. Peek is a card that successful Twin builds play. That slot, and be it peek, probe, or scour isn't the most critical choice in the deck. It probably isn't a 1% effective difference. I play the peek, I agree with the having an instant, and sometimes it is a bonus that lets you see if you can go off or not.

Uhh...

My original post was a sarcastic quip about how Peek is actually a thing (in the context that cantrips have been banned into the ground so WotC could have this elegant, yet garbage format).

You are actually agreeing with my point.

The problem came in when functional illiterate and forum superstar mcmagic came in to tell me that "literally all Twin decks have switched from Probe to Peek". I easily showed how that was demonstrably wrong in about 30 seconds of work.

Then mcmagic, Angry Grimace, and the shitpost brigade proceeded to have a whinefest that drowned the thread in a singularity of suck.

This is a cycle that happens pretty often:
Step 1: mcmagic posts some idiot poo poo that makes no sense.
Step 2: Somebody calls him out on his dumb poo poo.
Step 3: He whines about how he's ~terribly persecuted~.

Turns out he's the only one with this problem because he's the perfect storm of worst poster and most prolific poster in the thread.

I thought Homeward Path was explicitly printed to give people a solution to that sort of thing in Commander?

Homeward Path is the ~most Sheldon card~. It's hot garbage, but they printed it because people kept getting the feelbads when someone control magic'ed their commander.
