Early templating was so sloppy. Compare these two cards from Alpha


totally reasonable to think they had different effects, so they decided to clear it up in Revised

Someone pointed out that naru meha combos infinitely with acrobatic maneuvers to let you draw your entire deck. What you’re supposed to do with this is beyond me.

in that case Ghostly Flicker + Naru Meha is an infinite mana combo for 4UUU in modern

e: Sunscorched Desert & Radiant Fountain for incidental wincons, Vendilion Clique lets you dig for anything
e2: Also Whir for 0 gets Lotus Bloom if anyone wants to make this dumb deck

So I'm 5-2 at Hartford today playing for day 2. My opponent is at 4. I play a human to trigger my champion to 4/4. He cracks his fetch and starts looking through his deck shocked that he doesn't have any Mountains left to get and not have to shock himself. So he calls a judge and says he had 3 mountains on his decklist but only 2 in his actual deck, the third mountain was a Stomping Grounds instead. After like 15 mins the, the judges let him walk over to the draft tables, grab a mountain and put in his deck instead of the Stomping Grounds and lets him fetch it to bolt my Champion. He was dead on board at 1, he won the game cause he only had to go to 3. WTF.

Stop playing single games and only play matches?

If you’re trying to improve, yeah. Single games are where I sling uninteractive decks that fold to specific hate.

What's the unfair way to build it, as I've been getting hosed at the FLGS.

Throw in anything that affects the number of counters and/or tokens, all undying creatures, anything that turns creatures into mana or mana into creatures, etc. You can play out your hand & end up with a game-winning combo more than half the time.

e: For example, Geralf's Messenger and Ashnod's Altar turns into an infinite mana, infinite saprolings, infinite power, infinite targeted life loss combo with Ghave.

Where Skirk Prospector does have some potential is with Fecundity in a Goblin storm style deck.

Are there other Fecundity effects in modern? Smothering Abomination is a decent imitation (Grim Haruspex doesn't draw off tokens), but it costs 2BB. I guess the cost isn't a big deal in a deck that can run Manamorphose (and maybe Goblin Electromancer for turning Dragon Fodder/Krenko's Command/Hordeling Outburst into rituals).

Seems awful far away from any kind of consistency, but maybe it's possible to go RBg and use some Viscera Seers as additional sac outlets to draw into Prospector with 8 Fecundity effects. :shrug:

Skirk Prospector & Mogg War Marshal is insane and with a little bit of storm Empty the Warrens becomes ridiculous. Claim//Fame might have a place to reuse MWM or get back a Prospector as there are not enough goblin rituals.

Going off that early relies on your war marshals all being near the top of the deck, right?

Starting hand was like 2 War Marshals 1 Viscera 1 Skirk 1 land, drew a land then Fecundity

Infernal Plunge is good, Goblin Grenade is good. Sometimes you just win with a huge Empty the Warrens after emptying your hand!

I think some amount of rituals is good if you're all-in. There are times where I was chaining together the 2 mana token spells but Hordeling Outburst & Empty the Warrens would get stuck in my hand because I couldn't find Mogg War Marshal to gain mana. Rituals let me win a game with a 1 land hand by going t1 Bushwhacker -> t2 Plunge Ritual Skirk Mogg Manamorphose land Empty Empty for 23 tokens

The Dirty Kitty deck looks cool, but seems like a different beast (and I can't really say much about tuning it).

e: In the above scenario I used Desperate Ritual because I have a few on MTGO and just 1 Plunge, but Plunge would have substituted fine by playing Mogg first

Metallic Mimic along with Murderous Redcap Skirk Prospector gives a hypothetical goblin deck an infinite damage combo. And your1 of Redcap can be tutored for with Harbinger. And Mimic isn't terrible in the goblin storm deck

Empty the Warrens & Goblin Bushwhacker already end up doing close to 1000 damage :v:

Not only is lands in back a good thing, they should standardize zone locations for competitive as well. Deck on right/left, graveyard underneath, exile to the side, enchantments and artifacts in similar position... let's get prescripivist in this bitch. At the very least let's mandate that exile is not just sideways graveyard. Fuckin hate that.

Tom Clancy is Dead posted:

There is a lot of debate right now about how much support Karn has to have to be good. No one has the testing to be sure if he needs other artifacts or if the +1 and -1 are good enough on their own as a draw engine. And if he does, how much he needs - is a playset of Walking Ballista enough? Treasure Map? Or does there need to be a dedicated artifact theme.

That said, he's going to be at least fine in any sort of not-super-tuned midrange pile. He's probably not the greatest as a curve topper in aggro decks, unless there is a major artifact theme.

May be primo sideboard for mardu vehicles
