On the yawg thing, +1/+1 and -1/-1 cancel each other now yeah? So 2 +1 counters and 1 -1 just become a single +1 counter as a state based action now?

Yeah it shouldn’t really matter but unfortunately I run Wall of Roots so I frequently have creatures with two different kinds of +\- counters on them.

Luckily my opponents are all super good and extremely anal about boardstates ha ha ha ha lol

I run kalonian hydras and riot creatures in modern, wanted to make sure for the yawg matchup unfortunately

Post your list!

This is roughly where I'm at. Jam it into the ponza package. I'm thinking of shaving on lightning bolts to add more hydra and titan to have top end, as I originally had to make cuts to get some extra lands in. 20 leads to some horrendous mulligan decisions I've found.

When I say riot creatures I mean I give them riot with rhythm of the wild

How about some fulminater mages in that pile



I was thinking about it, but fulminator only hits nonbasics. I like blowing up everything. The land destruction is something I've been trying to optimize. Ideally I'd be on 6 or 7 land destruction spells.

Obviously the rhythm package with hydras and titans makes it non-optimal. Would the 2/2 body be better than molten rains? Maybe cut 1 rhythm and 1 fetch? I think the top end is a bit weak with only 4 real payoff bodies for rhythm.

Yeah modern is weird. I don't really know how to describe it but it feels less fun than it was in like 2018. Everything feels so powerful?

Everything just does too drat much-

-Creatures with such useful ETBs that you're willing to go down a card to use them.
-4-color decks that can not only handle a Blood Moon, but sometimes run it themselves.
-A 1-drop that can put the game away on its own.
-A Gray Ogre that tutors and casts your deck's best spell on cast.
-Decks that can not only run 80 cards, but that are better off running 80 cards than 60.

No I'm not bitter that I finished foiling out Mill right as it became unplayable, where'd you get that idea

Yeah, grinding value was fun. Now it feels like bomb after bomb after bomb

Cloudpost is okay, Tony seems to do well with it on MTGO.

Yeah, he's real good with it, even in what feels like a not great meta

HootTheOwl posted:

Cloudpost is now G post which is Lands but no Loam-Wasteland loop.

I miss Karnpost

eh I feel it plays differently to a lands deck, at least the little I've played actual lands

Think that's why I couldn't get into arena. I'd rather see and play with nice people. I've stopped playing modern lately because the format hasn't been as fun and the people I know have stopped

Legacy is fun though

Actually the only reason I had notion thief in my sideboard. Unfortunately I missed my opportunity to do it in favor of actually putting a threat on the board. The real gotcha was slamming back to basics with force backup the moment my opponent tapped out though.

Every now and then I get blue decks with choke the same way. Feels good
