So I'd like to talk about a decklist today. Specifically, this decklist: http://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/420679#online I'm mainly interested in sideboard choices and the Jund matchup. Why run Linvala in the board when Pod isn't a card anymore? For the mirror/Infect? What can this deck do to not get pasted by Jund? What decks are Eidolon and Teeg being brought in against (Eidolon especially, isn't Storm dead)? Is the deck really so reliant on the combo that Twisted Image is a good sideboard card for Spellskite?

little munchkin posted:Linvala is also good against Bant Eldrazi and affinity. I'm wondering about 2 Path in place of Twisted Image, it still deals with Spellskite, is more relevant in the Jund matchup and it helps for Infect. E: Or is dealing with dorks that important?

Pod is my favorite card and the epitome of Starcraft Magic, imo

So is Dredge in Modern a real deck now or is it overhyped nonsense?

suicidesteve posted:It's yet another "draw your sideboard card or you probably lose" deck that the format is already full of except it also randomly loses to itself a lot. What makes it lose to itself? The lack of Bridge and a reliable sac outlet?

suicidesteve posted:A. It will never be good. Why would it need to drop it? Having more copies of Misthollow isn't necessarily bad, and it allows you to follow a Baleful Strix directly into it on turn 3, or curve a dork into strix into it turn 2.

always be closing posted:Any thoughts on this hoogland spirits brew? Looks pretty cool. As long as you're all in on spirits, isn't Long-Forgotten Gohei something to strongly consider vs. Favourable Winds? What about that W/U spell land that exiles creatures to make spirits? Mutavault really doesn't seem that great in a deck with only 4 lords and those lords can't even grant evasion. Which I guess brings me to the other point; what ultimately makes this worth playing over Merfolk? You trade more power for evasion and some protection, but there doesn't seem to be a way to provide overwhelming board presence and your only source of card advantage is Spell Queller, is it not? Is the deck basically drop Captain then Image, or bust?

Voyager I posted:I played a homebrewed UW Spirits list at Modern last night and ended up going 2-1, taking down 2-0s against Jund and Abzan Company while getting hosed by Bushwhacker Zoo. It basically feels like a worse version of UR Delver or Faeries that trades speed and consistently good cards for tricky interactions. Moorland Haunt seems like the reason to use Spirits over any other tribal deck, that land is incredible gas as long as you have a way to reliably fuel it.

Soul Glo posted:So what's the mana base look like in Modern Naya Burn without Arid Mesas and Scalding Tarns? Does the deck work with the Khans fetches that are much more affordable? Works just fine with Khans fetches, if you want to play in a big tournament you'll probably want to borrow the other 4 fetches though.

Knightfall seems like a really well positioned deck in Modern right now, between Tron and most control decks being a bit mediocre.

EvilBeard posted:Here's a little thought exercise. We're in my end step. My opponent has a Thespian's Stage, two Lotus Petals, a Snow Covered Forest. I have 3 Islands. My hand is Split Decision, Cunning Wish, Omniscience, Fact or Fiction, Emrakul. My opponent casts Crop Rotation, sacrificing his Forest. How do you not lose? E: Guess I'll need to think more on this

Jabor posted:I'm pretty sure the answer is split decision to copy crop rotation, getting ancient tomb. Then cunning wish for pact of negation. You're cold to them naturally drawing a depths in the next two turns, or if they have wasteland in hand, but after that you're not in bad shape. Doesn't that leave you a mana short on your next upkeep?

If Burn's that bad for you board Worship. You don't deal that much damage to yourself, your creatures are tough to kill and they aren't boarding in Destructive Revelry against you.

Voyager I posted:You've sold me on Worship at the very least. I wonder if that means I leave in the Serum Visions to look for it. Visions is too slow and actively works against you if they have an Eidolon out. As long as you have something more useful you could be doing turn 1 (Mausoleum Wanderer or Pathing their Guide comes to mind), I would board it out for something more effective unless you have some real stinkers against them game 1

The math roughly works out to shaving a land every two cantrips so as long as he's not running like 4 it's probably fine?

Tim Raines IRL posted:can I get some feedback on this probably awful list I cribbed together? It's basically "Cards I own 4c gifts (with some credit to SaffronOlive for steering)". I'm not looking to make anything hyper competitive, I actually hate modern but I don't have access to paper legacy anymore so I'm just looking for a way to have some fun at FNM and resolve the occasional titan. I'm guessing you have no access to Lingering Souls, Lili, or Elesh Norn?

C-Euro posted:Do Death's Shadow decks play Dark Confidant? That always seemed like a very Suicide Black card to me but maybe it's too slow. Death's Shadow decks run 4 copies of a self Lava Axe maindeck, as good a card as Bob is there's just a really good chance you end up finishing yourself off.

If you want to play her you want to at least be running Hierarchs alongside so she can flip something even at the lowest mode.
