It'd probably be okay to unban Snuggler's Copter now that Ligtning Strike and Abrade are both in the format. Right?

Angry Grimace posted:There's no such thing as insider trading in Magic that makes no sense. Starcity Games and the Zendikar fetches. Aside from some less-than-ideal card choices, I don't think the legacy pirates deck looked unplayably bad? I play burn and would never ever ever want to get paired up against that troll pile.

Cinnamon Bear posted:Or maybe look into Skred for myself? Edit to clarify: I favor Mind Stone over SSG because, even though a potential turn 1 Blood Moon or turn 2 Koth is game-breaking, it is absolutely not worth having a playset of Grey Ogre lurking in my deck waiting to ambush me with disappointment when I need fliers or burn.

Modern FNM, ran more or less stock Affinity but with Lightning Bolts. I'm really not sure why people haven't tried Bolt already, it's amazing. 3-1, lost to Bant Spirits. Spirits is such a bullshit deck.

If this lets me use Earthquake to take out more than one opposing planeswalker and still damage my opponent, I'm really quite fond of this change. Also they need to release some promo foil Alpha Lightning Bolts to celebrate, since the text will then be correct.

Pumps, basically, and keeping a good hand. Rancor + critters oughtta work in most situations. If you don't play Aspect of Hydra, Rhonas's Last Stand is a good include, I think.

Carl Killer Miller posted:What are some good lands to get into if you're starting off modern? Fetches, shocks, fastlands, manlands, checks, pains, etc for your deck of choice. If aggro, prioritise fastlands, shocks and pains. If control, fetches and shocks. Do you know which deck you'll play or what color(s)? Trip report, "Affinity", 3-0-1 Round 1: Death and Taxes, his game never really comes together and I run him over with small critters, especially fliers. 2-0 After, he played burn and won handily. Round 2: UW control, he never gets his sweepers in time and is unable to keep up with my tiny fliers, apparently the second time he's lost to to "Affinity," the other time (last week) also my doing. 2-0 Round 3: Eldrazi Taxes, went to time in game 3 wherein I ran him over with Ravagers and a Master. Highlights of this match include losing a total of 8 cards to Gonti over the course of the match. What a frustrating experience. He got my loving Aether Grid AND Plating off a Wear // Tear he jacked from me. Goddamn. 2-1 Round 4: Split for 5 packs (12.5 store credit), gave him the token since I won a random. Funny how WotC is making sure there's enough promos at each store now that it's no longer a standard-legal eternally-playable spell on the line. 0-0-1 Takeaway: Nissa is indeed too spicy for my deck, I guess I'll go back to Bolts. Back to Nature once again an MVP as all of my opponents main 8-10 Paths. Maybe she can sideboard vs white since they'll make sure I get all my basics.  Slowly but surely turning all of my money into store credit, :tenbux: at a time. MNgoons and neighboring state goons ought to get in on Regionals, November 4 at the Minneapolis Convention Centre, start time 10:, $40, modern.

Testekill posted:1) how exactly do Planeswalker cards function? Jace has three abilities and one of them has a -9 on it which I don't understand. 1) Play one ability of each Planeswalker you control each turn. The number bottom right is how many loyalty ot starts with, the + or - are how many counters are added or removed as a cost. 2) tokens, back not really relevant. 3) play dagger as equipment, transform when equipped creature hits opponent.

myDad posted:Anything new about the deck lists? Not one of the top 8 at the time of the tourney, but an Infect player did get me on turn 2 or 3 the first game of our match. The other two I drew removal. Glistener Elf, Groundswell, Might of Old Krosa, Mutagenic Growth, I believe. Honestly, I wasn't paying a lot of attention, I forgot that was a thing Infect could do. Losing to Infect on turn 2 is far less tilting than losing to Lantern on turn 30. Pretty much just jam toxic weenies and pump them all to high hell. I don't think my opponent had Become Immense, not sure if the free cantrip loss makes it less useful. Edit to clarify: But certainly well after the Gitaxian Probe ban.

Meyers-Briggs Testicle posted:I've done one rare redraft, it was in rtr and I pulled a foil deathrite. My last opponent was beating me and smugly said "I can't wait to get that card" so I said "suck my dick" and took my cards and left while the lgs owned yelled at me. While I can't condone  theft, I can neither condemn your actions here. I have a pretty honed sense of fairplay, but gently caress that guy.

Most upsetting modern decks: 1. Lantern 2. Bant Spirits 3. As Foretold 4. Scapeshift (if only because the pilot invariably is a shady/sloppy fucker who tries his damnedest to conceal the precise quantity/state of his lands at all times (as well as forgetting exactly how many he's played each turn) generally short of outright having them in a perfect uniform stack) Dishonorable Mention for Eldrazi (all kinds) and Tron (all kinds). Edit to add: Is it unreasonable to, going forward, make Scapeshift opponents play slowly and allow me to count publicly visible objects after each action he takes? 'Cause I really can't figure out another solution that isn't legally-actionable aggravated assault. Tubgoat fucked around with this message at 06:53 on Dec 25, 2017 |

GeneX posted:Spirits is fun to play both with and against so I'm not sure what the problem is, exactly Tom Clancy is Dead posted:I'm guessing the As Foretold deck that Tubgoat doesn't like is actually U/x Living End. Lantern is frustrating because they can prevent you from drawing any card they don't want you to draw when all you need is a literal single card out your deck. Does something from the 'yard? Pyxis is here! No, gently caress Lantern and gently caress everyone that plays it, go lose a bar fight with a steroid-abusing meth head.

rabidsquid posted:that's a funny deck that gets hard countered by like, a single 2/2 for 2. Which bear is that? I'll start 'boarding it. I have way more beef with Spirits; As Foretold is cute and clever, just frustratingly consistent, but being back on Affinity means I can 'board five colors. I'm excited for the new block structure and direction but not confident in WotC's ability to print remotely powerful cards ever again. Also this new cardstock and face is a real kick in the dick.

Sickening posted:There is actually plenty they can do. If the power level of cards was more balanced across all the rarities and standard was less of a shitshow, card prices would make more sense. Masters set releases at this point basically doom standard to rolling the dice to see if a new card they create actually makes waves outside of standard or not and that isn't looking all that promising. Chandra's fine in modern, won't dip sub 25.
