C-Euro posted:So what AER cards are people excited to try in Modern/Legacy/Vintage? Fatal Push is a big one obviously but I want to try a couple Hidden Stockpile in BW Tokens and a couple Yahenni's Expertise in the SB of my Mill deck, maybe even MB. I realize that it's basically a thread meme at this point but it was pointed out to me that Hope of Ghirapur could see play in Affinity, probably in a split with Vault Skirge in certain metagames; having a maindeckable piece of hate for a deck like ad nauseam or something to sacrifice on turn 3 to turn off a Nahiri player's Verdict for a turn or whatever seems like a thing that could be useful. Even against something like infect or suicide zoo(if this deck still exists post Probe ban) you can pop it to make sure they don't suddenly kill you out of nowhere the turn before you kill them. Also, I think Spire of Industry could be a sidegrade to Glimmervoid. I've definitely killed a Glimmervoid by killing all their artifacts and Spire does tap for colorless for free so it probably deals you, like, one or two damage max instead of randomly getting killed for free once every 8 games or whatever. Also Also Yahenni's Expertise seems good in Grixis Ancestral Visions decks, if only because it means you won't want to kill yourself when you topdeck an Ancestral on t4 also if trike is still playable in vintage shops Walking Ballista seems like a clear upgrade but man who ever knows with Vintage

would Bogles play more Kor Spiritdancers? Sram is a bad Kor Spiritdancer in that deck, I guess.

I'm still confused that Dig and Company aren't banned in the format. I have no idea what's good in it but those cards have to be too good right

Ragnar34 posted:And it bugs the poo poo out of me. There's a green storm spell that gives you a bunch of 4/4s, but I can't find a decent way to give them haste without messing up the rest of the deck. Add one Concordant Crossroads, lose to force of will As someone who likes Enchantress this deck is hilarious and probably not very good

Suicide Black has some superficial similarities to suicide zoo. In both cases you're playing a deck that tanks its own life total and plays undercosted fatties (one deliberately, one as a consequence of playing the most efficient cards) and then finish them off with a pump spell. Suicide Zoo doesn't really exist anymore though and the new Suicide Jund deck is a bit different.

I played against this with both enchantress and d&t! It felt like a very bad mu on the d&t side; one of our games was pretty close but it felt like a fluke rather than how I expect the matchup to go, there are so many 4 mana enchantments that nearly lock you out of the game. On the Enchantress note, does anyone know how to get a scrolling hand on xmage now? Deck is literally unplayable without that

C-Euro posted:I might not be on the latest version of xMage but I always move the Taskbar to the side of my screen when in xMage so I can see the scrollbar for my hand. Not the most elegant solution but it works. So the thing with Enchantress if that when your deck actually gets to fire you end up with like 20 cards in hand. Not being able to scroll through them is...awkward. There's some ways of getting an extra card or two to show up, but that's simply not sufficient.

It's not a Faerie if it's not on the Battlefield, it's a "Faerie card". E: sorry, it's a "Faerie spell" when it's on the stack. Elyv fucked around with this message at 19:10 on May 19, 2017 |

Star Man posted:I'm like the only person where I play that keeps track of life totals on paper. Play all the white border, mismatched editions cards you want in your schoolgirl anime sleeves. I keep track of life totals on my phone because it's FNM, who cares. If I play a GP or PPTQ the pen and paper come out. 100% agree with the others, although I've never seen any of the...unusual methods of marking loyalty.

C-Euro posted:I was going to say "it doesn't make sense to ban anything from DS decks, they're just a pile of good cards like Jund!" and then remember that both BBE and DRS were banned specifically for how good they were in Jund I don't remember offhand if BBE needed to be banned but DRS is actually broken as hell, there's a reason it's a top 5 spell in Legacy and playable in Vintage

suicidesteve posted:Counterpoint: Black is pretty much already the best color at this point in terms of everything that isn't cantrips or counters. The only thing it was bad at was removal. Everything cost 2 mana or was extremely narrow at 1 mana. Did it really need a 1 mana removal spell that hits essentially every creature in the format? Are you actually arguing that black is better than blue in Legacy? Even if that's the case, how does that make Fatal Push banworthy?

I feel like Opt is probably better than Visions in Snapcaster decks but worse in storm. Of course it also feels much less bad to cast, which has to be worth something

Ponza started out as an LD deck in the 90s and the original Modern Ponza deck had a decent LD component. Most likely the midrange decks evolved out of the LD deck, kind of like how Modern Affinity contains 0 cards with Affinity for Artifacts
