A guy playing Mardu Nahiri control went undefeated in my Modern FNM, was a pretty cool looking deck. I think this is a pretty close deck list to what he ran http://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/422212#online

So the Death and Taxes deck in the top 8 ran Banisher Priest instead of Fiend Hunter, I figured Fiend Hunter would be better since you can do the Flickerwisp shenanigans to remove 2 creatures, 1 permanently. Is there a reason to run the Banisher Priest instead of Fiend Hunter besides the 1 extra power?

eSporks posted:For sure, even game one was really sweet. He baited on a counterspell on an Infernal Tutor when he was floating PIF on top. Even if miracles chose correctly and countered the PIF instead of the Infernal Tutor, he was set up to win the following turn. That guy was just incredible at playing to his outs and he found some incredible lines only by knowing exactly what he needed to do. Oh wow, did not catch that bit on the stream. Incredibly impressive game making skills by the storm player.

The biggest problem is the lack of good discard outlets, also sometimes you just end up mulling to 4 because you either don't have a discard/dredge outlet. It's nice when you hit like 10 power when you untap on turn 2 but that's not very consistent and yeah, side board hate usually hoses your entire deck. Meanwhile Legacy dredge have some really sweet discard/draw outlets along with Ichorid to generate zambos every turn with bridges. Edit: Yeah that's probably the best version of that right now, there's the Dredgevine version that runs Vengevine and Gravecrawler, problems with discard if you want to run Prized Amalgams and Narcomebas. This is the other version, which is nice, but still lack reliable discard and no Bridge like the Vengevine version. Thisuck fucked around with this message at 23:11 on Jun 25, 2016 |

Fingers McLongDong posted:I honestly don't know how you could build abzan company or kiki chord on a low budget without it being terrible. You could try for a UR delver style list, by either going for UR prowess or delver with young pyro. The young Pyro build wants Snapcasters way more than a prowess build though. If you did a prowess deck with a base of something like: Lava spike as well. The Grixis version gets Gurmag Anglers, which essentially turn into 1 to cast 5/5s with how fast you're planning to cycle cards to enable prowess, the Grixis version also runs Thought Scour, which is another way to power your prowess creatures and get stuff in the yard for the Gurmanglers

Hahaha what, the Restored Balance deck won the WMCQ at Australia http://mtgtop8.com/event?e=13015&f=MO Also, do you guys think the new Tamiyo will see any kind of Modern Constructed play? Not many Bant decks running around that seems would actually want her in their 60.

TheKingofSprings posted:As long as you're all in on spirits, isn't Long-Forgotten Gohei something to strongly consider vs. Favourable Winds? I thought the mutavaults were also for faeries as well, so that he has an option to boost faerie count in a pinch for Spellstutter. But yeah, it just seems like a faerie deck that you can vial out instead of watching Bitterblossom grind someone down. At a certain point, you might even run Esper faeries, since you can do fun stuff like Gifts Ungiven Unburial Rites + Elesh Norn.

Bonus posted:What do y'all think about this deck? Todd Stevens (a streamer and scg grinder) played this version to good success on MODO. My version has a different sideboard and a few minor tweaks (maindeck relic over 3rd spellskite, uhh, that's about it). Anyway, this deck is pretty cheap to build and actually really really powerful. It's sort of like tron in that it goes over the top of decks like jund and control, but it isn't as weak to burn and affinity because of the chalices and infect is a great matchup. There's a guy in my LGS that runs a list similar to that, but he does the black Eldrazi version without the Chalice and Matter Reshapers, he has Conduit of Ruin, Oblivion Sower, and Kozilek's Channeler. It was kinda slow but that deck hurt like hell to play against.

Sigma-X posted:Sulfur Elemental wants your deck to have like a real live mountain in it though. Grixis against DnT is going to be stuck under wastelands, ports, and thalias, so the notion of getting to 3 is going to be hard at best. Yeah, the slightly higher cost is only mitigated by not being affected by Thalia and Wingmares, Ports and Wastelands are still a bad time. On that note, I'm slowly building up my D&T deck, just gonna go with judge promo Ports, got one last week, 3 more to go!

Walked posted:I also have a similar problem. We should start a support group. Agreed Hello, my name is Thisuck and I have deck collection problem. These are my modern decks. Junk midrange Melira Company Jund Dredge, both Vengevine and Bridge varieties G/W Hatebears, Mono-white Hatebears, Eldrazi Bears Grixis Delver and Control Mono-Red Skred + 6 Blood Moon effects I'm just finishing up Restore Balance, Infect, and Jeskai Nahiri right now. I make sure I only use 1 kind of sleeve for everything, including my cube, so I can swap cards out whenever, it's actually pretty awesome since it's buy once then you have access to a bunch of decks. I want to play more Jund, but I just have a lot more fun playing the Eldrazi Bears and other fun non-Magic like decks, like Dredge. Thisuck fucked around with this message at 16:44 on Aug 2, 2016 |

Walked posted:When WoTC creates a new format and destroys modern in a few years it'll be cool to watch the value of all our decks plummet http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/eldrazi-bears-2/ That's my current testing list right now, someone mentioned they took out the Flickerwisps to get more Wingmares to tax their mana, seemed to work pretty well at least in my LGS since a lot of people like to run control decks, but that had the unfortunate effect in making my aggro matchups kinda lovely, which is the other 40% of the store So I'm hoping the new Thalia puts a damper on both but you really need both out to keep them alive, since a bolt is good enough for both.Edit: The 61 card is intentional, the 61st one being Relic, helps fuel the Stranglers and can be turned into a card draw if necessary. It also messes up Grixis and other Snapcaster/Delver shenanigans. The Sea Gate Wreckage has actually worked out ok, it draws cards when you need it since this deck is really light on that, only wished it was 1C instead of 2C

little munchkin posted:Playing any flavor of Taxes without flickerwisps seems insane to me, especially one with Wasteland Stranglers. Yeah I thought that too, but it seems to work fine, the Displacer is a decent alternative and also not having a WW creature is less taxing on your mana. Edit: Honestly I play Death and Taxes because it's funny as hell when you have more Leonin Arbiters than they can pay for, so your Ghost Quarters are now Strip Mines. Also Vialing in a Leonin Arbiter in response to a fetch is the closest I can get to Stifling a fetch, without playing Squelch. Thisuck fucked around with this message at 22:16 on Aug 2, 2016 |

Fingers McLongDong posted:Gerry Thompson seems to be a big fan of the card in Grixis decks. I'm going to pick some up at $20 or under. The card has a lot of potential still. It's a nice card in Grixis, but for any tempo based decks like Delvers of all varieties, the card is not what you want to be using to achieve your goal.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hen3HuF1P7k Besides Lepore doing this. I mean, it wouldn't be "too" bad to unban Jace right? Also I think there should be a "testing" type temporary unban for modern. Like "we're gonna temp unban these cards to see what they do to the game, and if it's bad, then we reban" like a 6 month period or something.

RIP, I remember reading the second-to-last Friday and that just confused the hell out of me why anyone would schedule it that way. The new LGS I'm going to now is gauging how many people actually wants modern tournies. Hopefully it's a decent amount of people so we can get that to fire consistently. I'm going there right now because it's closer to where I live now and they also do free FNMs with prizes.

Rejection is a much better card for hosing Tron than just Affinity, although it's really useful in that match up as well. I personally like it better than negates, but then most of the modern decks I play have really weak match ups vs Tron, so I tend to favor Rejection much more.
