A delver deck will almost certainly always be tier 1 and a UWx control deck will likewise almost certainly always be tier 1, why is that a problem? I don't have an issue with xerox strategies being strong, my mind breaks when it gets to "well, I guess I just jam Okos into [someDeck] until they loving ban Oko because otherwise I'm shooting myself in the dick"

Legacy players are never happy. If you want to go play a perfectly fine and fun midrange format where xerox is a tier 2, Historic awaits!! (This isn't a dig, I love historic).

Why is just jamming Oko into [someDeck] bad but jamming Brainstorm/Ponder/Preordain into the same deck good?

Infect boarding in anything but different leylines is off the theme of maximum bullshit.

Hypothetically if they reprinted a new set of duals that are identical to the original cycle but just with a different name, how much would legacy mana bases change? Are land bases basically perfect right now?
Technically they should all change to play around sowing salt or surgical extraction or whatever but honestly people are already shying away from 4 copies of a dual, let alone wanting a 5th.

So, I had this Modern fascination a few years ago that I never got around to actually doing anything with.



You see where I'm going with this? Like, yeah, the only thing you're looking at there is a four-card win condition, but I think it would plug in pretty well to U/G acceleration infrastructure, and the areas that you get to research for antecedents are Amulet Bloom, Reliquary Knight, and I guess whatever Mill is supposed to have beyond mere style (you would almost certainly need Surgical Extraction, for example). I feel like there could be some pretty transformational sideboard action.

I've been away from the game since about 2016 so I'm gonna be perusing new card lists but I wanted to slap the idea on the table and see if it spoke to anybody. Is this already a thing? Seen it happen before? Any ideas that leap out at you?

Add knight of the Relequary, Dryad of the Elysean Grove, Valakut, and Primeval titan.

Can't decide what I want to play in modern this week between enchantress and belcher

Belcher is by far the better deck, but it's a free event and it's not like people will hate my deck less regardless of whether it's enchantress or belcher lol
The answer then is which ever brings you the most joy.

True, but I love both is the issue. Enchantress does my favorite thing in MTG, which is draw a bunch of cards. And Belcher is just plain fun because it's always fun flipping your deck at someone

Both decks draw a lot of hate for whatever reason. I'm not sure why because like.. if enchantress locks you out just move to game 2 or 3. They find the wincon eventually so unless you've got back to nature or something...

I guess in belcher's case though it's just people don't like getting combo'd out. Maybe I'll play belcher and hope to draw the Turn 0/1 this week.. still haven't gotten it in a real game

120 Card Yorion Enchantress Belcher.

Sailor's bane trip report:
Card is very good, and really hard to deal with.
It's only a matter of time before the secret is out and you can't just time walk delver with an endurance.
The real powe here though is that you can run it and an escape titan without consequence in a way you can't with murktide.

Goyf can't be correct here. It just can't be right to be on Goyf in your uro/Dreadnought deck.
He says at the end that it can't be endurance but it has to be, right?

I have literlly been playing modern from day one and I've never hated the format as much as I do right now.
Unlike Gaak and Eldrazi winter where you could point to a single deck you can't because MH2 is the format.
If you ban one bs MH2 card another will take it's place.

Why are the Green cards in Legacy so bad?
All I want is a playable 1 mana green card that's either an Adventure, Instant, or Sorcery. It doesn't even have to cost one, just needs some cost reducer in it.
