I've been trying to order those bordifies white border precise fits for my deck and literally nowhere has any in stock, and even fewer places ship them to Canada. I went to the sleeve makers Facebook page and asked and they gave me an answer apologizing for opaqueness so I don't think they're English speaking ?!?? I just want to troll people with my sleeve choices :/

Siivola posted:That makes me deeply uncomfortable. My plan is to use black border precise fits for my unlimited basics, and white border for every other card in the deck. its me glenda posted:tell me those are white border perfect fits Yes. They're technically borderfy precise fit white border. They're sold out everywhere that I can find and the maker doesn't ship to North America yet. If you can find the white border precise fits and ship them to Canada, send me that link! My plan is to use them in conjunction with those ultra guard sleeves that have the matte black inside. Which would ideally lead to T1 playing a black bordered basic that uses the word "tap" on it, and using that to cast a white bordered judge foil noble hierarch that has a tiny black outline around it from the ultra guard sleeve. I assume at that point my opponent scoops in rage.

ShadeofBlue posted:Bant Spirits is an awesome deck. It needs a few more 2 drops, though. I've actually been trying out some of the hateful spirits in the 2 drop slot, maindeck, like Kataki, and it hasn't been too bad. I like it better than running Phantasmal Image anyway. I saw a list where someone ran 2 of the original Thalia main, I want to try that also. Hmmm. I actually run with 3x Phantasmal Image because I like the card so much. Kataki is a 2-of in the board along with 2x meddling Mage (my loving favourite sideboard card) OG Thalia interacts poorly with CoCo

Haven't kept up with the format, though. Izzet blitz is still really good. I'm a huge fan of playing acid trip because it's such a horrible deck. I also built mono black for paper pauper, and elves and goblins. Some bogles, affinity, and tron locally as well. Play whatever you want, it's pauper.

ShadeofBlue posted:The CoCo interaction is definitely a concern, although I've found that I often want to cast CoCo last (since it's more reliable to play stuff like Spell Queller, or a Hexproof provider, rather than hoping to hit one with the CoCo), so I think most of the time I'm okay paying the extra mana. That said, I've only played the deck through a couple of leagues online, so I'm still learning the ropes. Thalia ruins your chance if a a T3 coco with an Noble. Top things I have copied with phantasmal image: - captain (super good) - selfless spirit - mausoleum wanderer (pumps easily) - spell queller (on coco) - meddling mage (also very good) - noble hierarch (exalted Trigger) - wurmcoil - ulamog (coco into it) - emrakul (coco into it) - that 15/15 wurm (coco) - snapcaster (once targeting coco and once for an emergency path) - kor firewalker

Voyager I posted:Filtering is still good even if you aren't allowed to have good cantrips in Modern, it still adds value with Snapcaster (who is an honorary Spirit / Faerie), and in the case of UW Spirits you have nothing else to do on turn 1 other than Mausoleum Wanderer. It's undoubtedly the worst card in the deck but the next best option is Topplegeist in a deck that doesn't even have four card types. If you're playing u/w definitely play with vials and Thalia's. Also loving lol at noble prices. I picked up a play set of judge foils for $50 each years ago and I have no regrets. But seriously drop the money for the mana dorks or don't play the deck. T2 Geist is no joke.

Gustav posted:Have there been any significant upgrades to the list that I don't know about? I've been playing mine mostly unchanged and performing very mediocre lately (2-2 and 1-1-2). Not fast enough to stand a chance against Marvel, and having a much harder time stabilizing against green gods, glorybringers and black zombies. There have been two paths that the deck has taken recently. 1) add 4x of the 2 mana 4/3 discard a card Minotaur to make the deck more aggressive. I'm not a huge fan of this as it turns on your opponents removal. 2) main deck reduce//rubble and play tempo games, and add a wretched gryff to the main for additional kozileks return flashback. I haven't faced Jund gods yet but I've beaten marvel before and after sideboarding pretty regularly, haven't lost to either flavor of zombies yet, and I have lightning axe for glorybringers.

Fuzzy Mammal posted:Well think of it this way. G and B are the colours with support for -1/-1 counters. If your deck is only one half of those colours, you're using nest of scarabs to at best half its potential. Does that sound like it would be good enough, given that at full potential it will be balanced to merely great and not insane (since it's not a mythic)? One of the best limited decks I've ever seen had a guy making a Sultai -1/-1 counters deck with a splash for the U/W all token gain flying and vigilance guy. It was gross, and surprisingly consistent. He got immediately crushed in the finals when his opponent ramped out a T5 Sandwurm Convergence. Awesome Interactions.

mcmagic posted:While UR Emerge is better in this meta because it's weak to Mardu, it's still a dog in the marvel matchup because marvel is just by far the best deck. I think playing anything else is dumb. I respectfully disagree. I played marvel 3 times and beat marvel three times same with the two other people on emerge that I saw over the weekend. Game one you attack from enough angles and put on enough pressure that you can usually win through an ulamog, assuming they hit a T4 ulamog. Post board you have a hate package that is insanely strong. I mean I've been playing the deck for months so I have a good few reps, but chaining deep fiends still wins games. I also haven't lost a match to mardu vehicles yet. G1 you have 8 main deck removal spells and 4 instant speed board wipes that you can recur from the graveyard. Post board you have more removal and hate for heart, plus two extra ways to flash back return. Mezzanon fucked around with this message at 00:40 on May 30, 2017 |

mcmagic posted:Then you just get your Fevered Visions censored and the game is over. Don't walk into censor ya dingus. Pro tip: if you're on the play and your hand is gas aside from lacking a discard outlet feel free to skip a land drop on T2 to discard a stitchwing skaab. That's one of the plays I made against marvel at the PreTQ, then discarded 2x amalgam to bring it back during my opponents turn after they played a rogue refiner, then untap, play land 3 and visions.
