If the numbering on Mirrorpool is any indicator there's at least 11 lands in the set? Does that seem like too many to be real?

Up here in Canada we've been having record low FNM turnouts for the past 2 weeks. Tonight was another night where 8 people showed up as opposed to close to 20 normally - I know the US has an excuse for today but has anyone else notices a trend like this?

I had noticed that its a lot of the younger players that weren't showing up, along with the more casual older players. Maybe its the rising cost of being competitive in standard that's dissuading people recently? Betweeb fetches and walkers people can't afford $300 standard decks.

Irony Be My Shield posted:$300 is actually cheaper than the cheapest competitive standard deck. Which is a problem for the health of the game as a whole, I find. I'm a grown rear end man with a good paying job and I still don't want to pay for FlipJace. I've played Atarka Red for 8 months at this point just because it's cheap (and wins a lot still). How does the price of standard drop from this point? What would drive prices back down where Standard doesn't cost as much as Modern?

Konstantin posted:Think the goblin is good enough for Atarka Red? It would be easy to enable Surge, and the effect is relevant. Might be worth trying in the sideboard for the matchups where you take out the combo. Yes, potentially. It's a solid turn 3 play with another spell, and an amazing rip off of an Abbot. Provided you have another spell in hand he gets even better late game as well, but you really want him to be the second-of-three spells in a turn (Surge enabler, him, then a combat trick to win).

GoutPatrol posted:T1=Goblin Glory Chaser (of Swiftspear if you don't wanna Vorthos your Gobbos.dek) Even fitting within current Atarka Red: T1, Swiftspear (Opponent at 19) T3, Dragon Fodder, (Opponent at 17) T3, Fiery Impulse or Wild Slash, New Bushwacker (Opponent at 8-10) One of the key things is that this guy gives your other dudes haste if cast for Surge, meaning you can Fodder + Bushwacker or Abbot + Bushwacker on turn 4 for a pretty great blindside.

Seems pretty bad to me. He does nothing on its own, requires you to play other better colorless fatties, and even then just becomes a vanilla big guy until end of turn.

Is there any reason the Modern BW Eldrazi deck runs Damnation as opposed to Wrath of God? From what i can tell the deck runs just as much black-producing lands as white-producing lands.

I don't think it quite works in the Modern BW Eldrazi deck (no etb effect, 3 toughness) but it's an option to run over lingering souls. Without Lingering Souls you have the freedom to run Rest in Peace main.

Lieutenant Centaur posted:Someone post the mono black eldrazi list. I'm phone posting You don't want the mono black version. It's garbage. White brings a lot to the table in Path, RIP, and some tricks in the board. Plus the one that was run this weekend is extra garbage, you don't want 4 Eye of Ugin and 4 Urborg. 2 of each of those is much better. You also don't want quite as many exiling artifacts as he was running, 5 of Relic/Claws is plenty.

Bonus posted:I based my list off of this: Consistency of mono black is one thing, but you lose a lot of other exile abilities and a lot of sub tech if not using white. Also, I really don't agree with running 4 of a legendary land - while it does ensure you get them in an opening grip, drawing a second of either is a dead card entirely. Getting an opening grip of 2 Eyes or 2 Urborbs is a 100% mulligan.

Angry Grimace posted:I don't really get the Eldrazi deck so far. It was pretty cheap since I had a lot of the pieces, but it seems very "Tier 2" to me in that its not a good deck at all if you don't draw Temple, Eye and a Relic and it has a very hard time interacting with what your opponent. Think of it as Jund with fewer colors. It has a whack of targeted removal, heaps of hand control, and big ol' beaters. The caveat is that you need to be concerned about exiling cards to get the full effect of several creatures, but even then it's not 100% necessary to include that strategy (I can see Strangler and Herder in diminished roles in the deck post OGW).

Angry Grimace posted:That Processor deck seems okay, but it seems like it would just be better to play playsets of Eldrazi Temple, Eye of Ugin, Urborg Tomb of Yawgmoth and just drop a bunch of Eldrazi Mimics, Thought-Knot Seers and Reality Smashers, and then just run a bunch of cheap disruption and Paths. I think it's leaning that way right now - a lot of the blight herder/ramp tricks are going out the door in favor of being a stompy midrange deck full of black & white's best disruption. I still don't think Eye or Urborg should be 4-ofs. You draw dead far too often.
