Maybe even the Ashioks as well (I was originally playing those instead of Sanity but Sanity is too good.) Maybe with that much Sanity cut a land, go up another Orb? Two Orbs and a Sanity can very quickly game over. I beat GW Humans and Skred, lost to Affinity (unless I'm playing Recall, an almost impossible matchup) Abzan, UR Breach (I almost won the 2nd game with two Sanitys out, was able to mill 40 cards after the first trigger to remove them but just not enough) and Eldazi Tron (Game 2 had a Chalice on 3 that turned off almost of my stuff, Game 3 had a Turn 1 Chalice on 1 so I couldn't Extract the pieces.) Modern is not moving in a Mill happy direction with a Gideon emblem being impossible to beat Game 1.

Scribe had been nothing more than bolt fodder every time it showed up. Cutting them for more removal could be an idea.

Ideas for other decks? You could do very bad Rack decks or very bad UB control. Opt, Mana Leak, Whispers of the Muse, Dissipate, Terror, Smother, Funeral Charm, winning with Mahamoti Djinn and Bribery. edit: if you're allowing old frame promos then this deck can have Bob. The more I think about it the more I want to try on X-Mage. Deck: UB Control in Modern (using pre-Modern cards) //Lands 2 Faerie Conclave 6 Island 4 Polluted Delta 6 Swamp 4 Underground River //Spells 4 Bribery 2 Dissipate 4 Mana Leak 4 Opt 4 Smother 3 Terror 2 Whispers of the Muse //Creatures 2 Mahamoti Djinn 4 Merfolk Looter 2 Nekrataal 4 Phyrexian Rager 3 Shadowmage Infiltrator //Sideboard 4 Cruel Edict 3 Infest 3 Duress 4 Tormod's Crypt 1 Time Warp Display deck statisticsGoutPatrol fucked around with this message at 05:20 on Sep 30, 2017 |

OK thinking of these is kinda fun. Deck: 8 Rack in Modern (Using Pre-Modern Cards) //Lands 22 Swamp //Spells 4 Blackmail 2 Cruel Edict 4 Funeral Charm 4 Megrim 4 Mutilate 1 Phyrexian Arena 3 Stupor 4 The Rack 2 Underworld Dreams //Creatures 2 Mindslicer 4 Phyrexian Rager 4 Ravenous Rats //Sideboard 4 Darkness 4 Rain of Tears 4 Duress 3 Vicious Hunger Display deck statisticsReplace Bobs with Ragers if that's all right. edit: why the gently caress is the rack 15 tix on magic online.

L0cke17 posted:It (Blood Sun) has potential in modern to make the ravnica bouncelands just etb tapped sol lands. So perhaps some sort of primeval titan/amulet deck would benefit from this as well, with its hosing of fetches being incidental to its playability Isn't a big part of that deck being able to bounce Tolaria West back to your hand?

C-Euro posted:Most or all of the UW decks at my store have moved to Jeskai and honestly I've had more trouble with my UWx matches since the shift. I lost to someone on it last FNM, and according to them having access to burn spells makes it way easier to close out games with Jeskai than straight UW. I've not piloted either deck though so I can't say for certain. I've played with both UW and the new Secure the Wastes Jeskai build. Search for Azcanta may be the big reason these decks are coming back (even though UW was back before Search came out running Gideons.) It is not a proactive play, but it makes your late game so much better. Gearhulk can also block everything in the format besides Titans and Shadows if that is needed, and is a better clock than Snapcaster.

If I am playing in an unknown meta PPTQ next week, should I play Jund or Mardu? Jund Pros: I have a Tarmogoyf dice BBE is a fun card to cast My Bobs are French One Tireless Tracker draws lots of cards Feeling good knowing my deck is probably more expensive than any opponent Jund cons; Probably can't beat Tron Not knowing what combo of Push/Bolt/Decay/Bore/Pulse can be tricky and cost me Need to borrow the last Verdant Catacombs from a friend Mardu pros: Getting to play with the best draw three in Modern Spirit token game is on point As is Elementals and Goblin tokens for Rabblemasters in the SB Blood Moon free winniness Probably better in an unknown meta Mardu cons: Probably can't beat Tron Lingering Souls are a horrible 3DKA/1MM2017 split My snow-covered Plains is not as cool as the other snow basics No manlands

Bob can be a great card in Jund's bad matchups I loved Bob against Tron because it was a card draw machine. If control can't kill him he wins you the game. But Humans, Burn, or Hollow One, he has cost me many games.

Fingers McLongDong posted:So I'm thinking spirits is actually the better tribe in the current modern metagame. Convince me I'm wrong. UW is moving up to be the new top dog in the format and spirits is better against it than humans. Need to get me some drogskol captains before it's a $10 uncommon with only 1 printing. As a Jund player, I am more afraid of a good humans pilot than a Spirits player. I always felt like Humans has a better chance to go wide and a better long game. Drogskol Captains are bad but hopefully they don't have the double company hits and you should be ok.

Network42 posted:This is literally 8whack from mtggoldfish budget magic. Yeah I remember walking ar on day 2 and seeing a board of bushwacker, burning tree and a goblin grenade in hand and Wondering what the hell happened. I wrote up my thoughts on the GP at MTG salvation. I went 4-4 in the main event but 4-1 in the PTQ Sunday. I went 1-1 against spirits and 1-1 against humans. It was the first time I lost to Spirits in paper. It is true that Jund can't block poo poo against them, and if they draw enough hexproof dudes and quellers, they tempo you out. It's a hard matchup but winnable if it lines up for you. Trophy would make it much better.

A 3/3 for 4 with flashback doesn't seem that great, espeically compared to call of the conclave or advent of the wurm. Am I just looking at it through a modern lens and it was great in legacy? Good enough to be rare in MM2017!
