Played legacy, tonight and usually I see one chalice, blood moon, or back to basics.
Saw all three tonight and I hate this game so much.

A fun branching point in the timeline of Magic that I like to think about sometimes is the fact that Blood Moon was put in Eighth Edition because of a fan poll on Wizards' website 20 years ago. Can you guess what other piece of red nonbasic land hate it was up against? That's right, Dwarven Miner lmao

I saw a bit of scuttlebutt on Magic Twitter the other day that Wizards had taken down a bunch of their old articles, I hope these poll results still exist in some public capacity because I'd love to see if anything else that made an impact in Modern made it in off of a vote.

Trygon Prime is a pet inclusion, right? I can't imagine it's the best four-drop available, but annoying people who don't like Universes Beyond is very cool.

Have you tried the new land "The Mycosynth Gardens" in Stiflenauts yet? You could make it a copy of Dreadnought with the sacrifice trigger on the stack.

I actually really liked them, and hate the art because I always disliked 'nids. (They're also surge foils so they look cool).
I cut them in games that are about recourses but in games that are about bodies they're pretty good.
For example, vs initiative I had an active scroll and a prime, so I had scalding tarns attacking for 3 unlockable to take back the initiative while this guy is crashing in for 6, eating the creatures that would take it back.

Yes this is in the works but I sold my cities a few years ago so I didn't manage to get a list I liked built for last night. A4nrken (steamer guy) just trophied with a gardens/saga/dreadnought list

I gotta say, I've really been enjoying the tribal builds of elementals in Modern the past month or so

Though I'm gonna try and squeeze in some eladamri's calls so I can play mother of machines as well. I might just end up running 65 cards to add some calls + a couple lands....

Though flamekin awakener is admittedly not super exciting with mom on the field

I got to watch. It was a scam player I’d played in a previous round and he was against creativity.

T1 he has the grief +undying evil to take out the creativities followed by a fury + undying evil for W6 and two dwarf tokens.

Game 2 was the really disgusting one.
Creativity player mulls to 6
Scam: t1 grief + undying evil, T2 grief + undying evil game over

Yeah, but those are the more control-y versions. I'm running the tribal build with flamekin and voice of resurgence instead of t3feri and w6

But honestly between flamekin and now eladamri I've got so many ways to tutor for creatures, and risen plus mother of machines draws so many cards, that sneaking in the extra cards (dunno if I want the growths as much) isn't a huge deal

Even if it ends up that a couple of 7-2s do make the cut, the guy who was 7-1 and decided to play the last round to try for a better seed is going to get in on breakers well ahead of someone who's been slumming around the losing bracket.

It's been a while but I finally put Murktide and Sailors' Bane in the same deck and I am here to confirm not only are they both good together they work together and also Bane is a Dragon for you Invasion of Tarkir weirdos.

But like also you need 53 other cards in your deck and you should not choose the 53 I did.

Yeah lol wtf


Probably doesn't do anything in formats where it's legal but turning opponent's Brainstorm into 3 pings and Amass 1 Orc 3 times is kinda hilarious. Might go in the BW version of D&T that never seems to be better than mono white in Canandian Highlander.
