Anyone considering playing two headed giant: I would urge you to open 2x meathook massacres to win the game on the spot repeatedly. Also learn the interaction for daybound/nightbound in 2hg (It’s neither play can cast spells to make it night, but one player is to cast two spells for it to become day)

Naturally I open Kaldra Compleat, the main big-ticket card from the set that I had already bought as a single. Bundles are set boosters instead of draft boosters now right? So they usually have 1-3 rares and a weird common/uncommon distribution

I had 3 path to the festival and played every rare, but angelfire ignition was unstoppable and I had an opponent scoop when I used rootcoil creeper to bring back angelfire ignition for casts 3 and 4. Glad I played it because I would normally slam an average 2C deck. A+ on angelfire ignition being an absolute unstoppable bomb in limited.

Fuzzy Mammal posted:It's fine so far. Lots of non games in limited due to mana issues and mulls. AliasV still sucks as commentary. Interesting how the limited meta was pretty different than what you'd see on arena ladder. Also as mentioned the round 5 match of spasky vs sperling was really good. I do love Strasky, he's a genuinely very nice person who was willing to join the spirits facebook page and discuss the addition of aether vial to bant back when he was winning GP's with it. I still put my arena vote on yellow hat though

Thinking about selling a bunch of cards at a modern event this month (assuming I Scrub out of the event) Which means it might finally be time to sell out of legacy infect (because the deck is just loving stone unplayable, and my tropical islands that I got for $100 CDN each are now like ten times that much lmao) Maybe I'll try to move stuff on here or some facebook pages first. Probably the right call seeing as the partner and I are trying to buy a house in the next 6 months

Really growing to hate the free pitch elementals, there should be a risk to tapping out lmao. Also elementals and ephemerate make for some rancid feels in certain games. If anyone was looking for a cheap standard deck to dropkick best of one, here’s a good one. (I was playing uw magecraft delver before VOW came out)

Played two opens this weekend for 14 rounds of modern with the my usual dumb bullshit of bant spirits. Lost a win and in for prizing day one and lost a win and in for top 8 round 2. Deck felt perfectly cromulent. There was lots of uw control which is good for the deck. Paper magic felt insanely good to play. A lot of people don’t know exactly how spirits cards cards work lmao. I think I ended up on 7/14 opponents making misplays to onboard tricks. Matchups I played against: - 4c money pile (1-1-1 draw lmao) - uw control (2-0 W) - rakdos/mardu Lurrus (2-1 W against mardu 1-2 squeaker loss against rakdos) - izzet murktide (2-0 win and 1-2 loss where I got EMBARASSINGLY CAUGHT OFF GUARD by a blood moon) - izzet prowess (1-2 loss where drawing any creature or coco for 3 turns would have resulted in a win) - yawgmoth (1-2 loss where g3 my deck refused to draw a land, 2-1 win) - 5c snow control (2-0 win) - dimir mill (2-1 win) - jeskai murktide (2-1 win) - burn (2-0 win) - Esper reanimator (aspiring spike list) (1-2 loss, I kept my opponent off balance but couldn’t close g3) Other decks I saw: - hammer - affinity - grixis deaths shadow - elementals - belcher - some kind of u/w professor of symbology deck (???????) - enchantress - fully foiled out martyr proc (I fear this person on a deep and fundamental level) - mono red obosh - twiddle storm - rhinos (both kinds) - jund sagavan and zoomer jund (no boomer jund) - amulet titan (with that new VOW card cultivator colossus) - eldrazi tron - regular tron I saw zero creativity decks, and I wish I'd seen someone playing that grixis zombies list they did a deck tech on in vegas.

Cultivator colossus is pretty cool and good in amulet and it lets you "storm off" randomly which is pretty neat. Hullbreaker horror could see outside play in esper reanimator as a reanimation target that survives unholy heat and also has a bunch of additional text.

Barry Shitpeas posted:I hated that matchup so much but it is a price I am willing to pay Bless up mcmagic posted:Spirits is pretty good against Hammer... I think the hammer matchup is just okay, but it can definitely get there. It has an AMAZING belcher matchup though. HootTheOwl posted:Can spirits handle solitude or fury? mcmagic posted:No and Vial isn't a playable card. It can, but your extremely good matchups got a LOT less free (control, etc) and sometimes you just get absolutely SHITHOUSED by ephemerate (as do all fair decks) the issue with spirits in the current meta is that it's trying to do fair stuff in modern. Now that I've had a bit more experience playing against solitude and fury, I dislike them a lot less than I used to (but I still hate them with ephemerate) The deck feels better in paper, where people are going to misplay into your onboard tricks loving constantly. Being hyper aware of the pitch elementals means that they're easier to play around, and you should just assume that whenever control taps out they have solitude and a card to pitch to it as well. Which did let me aether vial in an unsettled mariner after my opponent tried to solitude my queller while tapped out. I will agree that Aether vial is not in a good place right now, and is a rancid top deck. Spirit surgeon Doctor Queller has been testing lists with 4x Utopia sprawl instead of aether vial and is consistently 5-0'ing (although I am pretty confident that the doctor could 5-0 with 56 islands and 4x mausoleum wanderer) tl'dr: spirits barely tier 2, will I scrape together a bunch of X-2's at opens with it somehow? still yes Mezzanon fucked around with this message at 19:00 on Nov 29, 2021 |

Top 4'd the local store champs with Modern Affinity in TYOOL 2021 lmao. Got 4 foil collected company as well so now I can rotate them, with my OG foils. received them extremely loving pringled though. Thanks Wizards This experience was much better than the other local stores championship which was MH2 draft, one pod of 6 and one pod of 8 with cross pod play. that was rancid.
