C-Euro posted:Tell me why this Bant Humans list is good and/or bad- You're giving up a shitload of percentage points vs. combo in the form of your disruption and the quickest clock in your deck to win grindier games. It'll win the mirror on grinds every time but it's a lot slower and there's a definite downside to that.

Johnny Five-Jaces posted:speaking of Solidarity, just saw a spoiler for this card in the next set: Without a High Tide already active it’s a blind cantrip in a combo deck and that’s a sketchy proposition. It’s not much different than suggesting they run Volcanics for Manamorphose.

If you resolve Wilderness Reclamation with that deck and have basically any interaction at all you win. That’s it, from there you chain Mystical Teachings and eventually beat face with a Tar Pit or Snapcaster.

Johnny Five-Jaces posted:speaking of BWx tokens decks, is that Cabal Therapist card they're printing for modern horizons A Thing? Seems pretty free with like a bitterblossom or something All that card will do is make their removal suddenly a lot more live against tokens. If it were usable the same turn it would be great but it’s not, card is just very slow.

Is the ability to do something like T2 Karn off of two Ancient Tombs, grab Mycosinth Lattice, T3 play City of Traitors, play Mycosinth Lattice, opponent concedes because they can't do anything as broken as it looks in Legacy/Vint?

I think a lot of formats are liable to have to be able to deal with that card, honestly. The Splinter Twin combo with it gives no card disadvantage and one piece literally tutors for the other. It's a gonzo card.

They’re definitely in better shape but they also have very little means to protect Teferi. They need to be able to throw Hierarch in front of him or rush him out turn 2 (very possible with Hierarch and if an Inkmoth is out does seem to result in an inevitable win next turn).

I want to talk about Stoneblade with y’all. Specifically, this Stoneblade: https://www.mtgtop8.com/event?e=23015&d=357817&f=MO I love it and it feels super good and fun to play! You run tons of solid disruption creatures while still presenting a quick clock when you need to thanks to the Forge and you have an endless stream of card advantage. I want to run it in a 4K next weekend but won’t have a ton of time to get reps in so I want to try to figure out what matchups are like for it before then. Looking at the list it’s easy enough to identify a few potential weakness decks, specifically Urza and Tron where I count 10 separate cards that get brought in from the board. Burn also seems potentially problematic. What other decklists might pose a problem for it? The creature suite is very soft to Bolt so I could see that being a problem as well. Playing it last night in a typical Thursday night modern setting I beat Jund twice (matchup feels pretty great), Ad Naus and 4CC Whirza. I think it’s really solid for grinding games out but I didn’t get much chance to see what the combo matchups are like for it.

Sampatrick posted:Is coco actually good in the deck? It seems like you already have so much card advantage in the deck and so wouldn't be super essential. I found grabbing disruption creatures at instant speed pretty helpful last night, it’s mainly good for quickly re-establishing a board presence. It could easily be Tefs and/or Jaces but I’m not sure what that gains me when a large portion of the deck already either allows for reactive play at instant speed or heavily facilitates it.

Posting this here, too: trying to decide between UW and Bant Stoneblade for an Open tomorrow in Modern. I'd like to hear people's thoughts on those decks, I know UW's got the better record overall, it seems like the more consistent option but Bant is powerful in it's own right and I really like a lot of the cards played in Bant shells.

ilmucche posted:I'm looking at getting into legacy and was told modifying one of my modern decks is a bad idea. That manaless dredge list looks cheap and loads of fun. How does it deal with leylines and rest in peace though? Are they not playing in legacy? Force of Vigor, Cabal Therapy and good old fashioned going under them (also Leylines are bad in Leg)

Also Force of Will exists and is a 4-7 of so Dredge just ain’t doing what it do in Modern

HootTheOwl posted:Why is just jamming Oko into [someDeck] bad but jamming Brainstorm/Ponder/Preordain into the same deck good? Because as good as Brainstorm is it doesn’t invalidate every single creature and artifact that costs more than 2 without providing immediate value all the time forever

Hell, Jace giving immediate value involves risking dying to Bolt. Oko always gives you something and you'd need Bolt Snap Bolt to actually take him out in the same way despite costing a mana less. That's absolutely absurd.

BaronVonVaderham posted:I thought the same thing after every banlist announcement that didn't include Oko or Astrolabe, especially since the biggest argument against Deathrite was the free mana fixing allowing 4-5 color decks to be strong. Stoneforge Mystic without Jitte is less powerful than Pod. Pod would still be good enough, Skyclave Apparition alone is such an enormous card for the deck that has been printed in the last 2 sets.
