suicidesteve posted:I wanted to get a 2nd set of all the non-Port cards so I would have a deck to lend people/have something for my daughter to play eventually maybe for the exact same reason. Plus if WotC ever decides to do something good for once and unban Stoneforge (haha,) that card is just free money. It's just so unplayable right now, even with a splash, and the right people don't whine about the format so I don't see it ever getting better. Also nobody will take my dogecoin as payment for the cards. I'm hoping the February unban announcement has SFM, so I can swap out my blade splicers for SFM in modern. What cards would you guys like to see unbanned? And what do you guys think it's safe to unban. I think they're gonna unban BBE and maybe SFM, here's hoping!

Fingers McLongDong posted:I see people mention BBE, SFM, and JMTS a lot, mostly the first two. I'd benefit from SFM getting unbanned and I don't think BBE would be too bad. At this point I kinda think they might do some unbans just to see what happens since those cards are mentioned so much. They update the B&R list so much now that they could give cards 3 month periods of unbanning to see if they overly warp the metagame or just shift it. Yeah that's what I feel as well, and I hope they see it that way as well. I'm still on the fence about JTMS, like as a turn 4 control play, it's pretty meh unless you're really ahead, but no one is gonna play it on turn 4, but it would give control a really good finisher though.

Mezzanon posted:G3: an emotional ROLLERCOASTER of a game. Opponent drops a phyrexian unlife and I start with swans beats. Eventually I find a seismic assault. Opponent passes turn to me and on my upkeep attempts to cast a Ad Nauseum, so I spell pierce, he cracks his lotus and pays, I spell pierce again, he uses his remaining mana and exiles a simian spirit guide to pay, so I cast my sideboard Glorious End, and end the turn. Opponent untaps, and passes, and then on my upkeep casts an angels grace. i play a seismic assault and start comboing off while my opponent just goes "why are you doing this? You can't win the game, and I can't lose the game this turn and you lose on your upkeep. You have no line, what are you trying to accomplish?" so I draw cards, put my opponent to one, and then in my second main phase I cast Days Undoing and end the turn. My opponent goes "Oh, I guess that ends the turn before your end step doesn't it?" we shuffle up, draw seven new cards, and my opponent shows me 3 leyline, 3 pact of negation, and a land, and scoops it up.

Sampatrick posted:Potential UB Faeries list with JTMS here. Jace makes late game discard/leaks much less problematic and between all your random fliers and Tar Pit you should be quite good at killing opposing Jaces. You also no longer need to play any Snapcaster Mages which means you can get away with playing more Mistbind Cliques which improves your big mana matchups - matchups that will probably become more common now that people are going to be playing more Jund/Uxx decks that tend to fold to big mana strategies. The sideboard is spaghetti on a wall and includes some somewhat experimental things but it's worth a shot. Let me know if y'all see any notable exclusions or have any ideas for what might be good in the deck. I'm gonna try that list. Thanks, I'm always up to make faeries work lol.

Elvis_Maximus posted:So, is the most expensive part of most modern combo decks still the manabase? Putting aside I guess the super chase cards like Tarmogoyf and JtmS which I understand is legal again? Shocklands are actually the cheaper lands, the fetches, especially Scalding Tarn, are where the real money costs are. Although with people playing more modern now, shocks have been going up a bit.

Elvis_Maximus posted:Dang, that's crazy. I thought paying like $20 per land was already pretty pricey. I guess that's just the shallow end of the cardboard yacht pool. Where are you buying your cards? I just checked TCGplayer and Steam Vents is only like $15. I mean, I'm up for supporting LGS, but when you're saving like $5 per card, I'd just buy them online.

For modern D&T, I've seen some lists that run Smuggler's Copter. Have anyone tried that yet and how good does it feel with those? Also the mono-white Eldrazi list looks pretty good. I'll give that a try when I get home later, and unsleeve my SFM that I put in there in hopes of an unban

C-Euro posted:Can't Evolve into her since she costs 9 mana and the highest CMC in the deck is 5. But now that you mention it, Elesh Norn costs 7 mana... Oh right, that was the original evolve chain. Nothing like clearing the board before you make it so they can't cast their stuff  TheKingofSprings posted:I want to talk Jace construction theory. I haven't actually played Jace outside of Legacy, and I've played him only BUG Delver and Miracles, both have FoW with either efficient removal and tempo or just hard counterbalance lock. At that point Jace is pretty much a "win more" card. I'm trying Jace out in a faeries shell to do the removal/tempo thing and see if that works out. Since once you exhaust their resources, you would be out as well, and Jace is a perfect way to refill your hand with good cards, not to mention putting some more pressure on the opponent, although Bitterblossom does a fantastic job of that if that's resolved.

Tim Raines IRL posted:Some decent tron & storm hate in Dominaria, anyway. And hoses tron like no body's business  Went 3-0 with the faeries list I posted earlier. People do not know how to sideboard vs tempo, they keep trying to prep for control but the incremental advantage I gain from a variety of sources just snowball effect them down. Also Bitterblossom is a very good card and it's fun playing with 3 previously banned cards as well.

Star Man posted:Modern fam, I'm still stuck on GW Elves and RW Prison while I slowly piece together Bant decks. How hosed am I against Jund in a post-Bloodbraid Elf unbanning? Pretty sure Prison decks don't really give a gently caress about what they're playing, especially a t2 Blood Moon. I don't know about the Elves v Jund match up though, seems like it's bad even before the unban.
