do you think that the oath of gideon has a place in that too?
Been playing around with stormchaser mage in ur delver. I like it better than young pyro.
>>44797350
Oath of nissa tron? You got my attention
So /tg/, if you could have any one deck from Extended or Legacy suddenly become possible in Modern, which deck would it be?
Any of you Anons think that Slip Through Space will replace Distortion Strike in UG infect?
>>44800636
Miracles
>>44800984
na, +1/0 and the rebound seem more useful than a draw. At least to infect.
>>44801494
Why not both?
>>44800636
It's already a deck but I would like more cards for it. And that deck is Elves.
>>44800636
Miracles
Modern could use at least one real control deck
Thinking about putting together a robot deck. Should I just be looking at construct creatures? Do I need land if I'm going all artifacts?

Shardless BUG
Could a type-based land denial deck ever work in modern? What could I use for a wincon? Is maindecking Peak Eruption enough to outrace burn?Do I have to go blue for Spreading Seas/Boil?
>>44802130
Problem is that some decks barely even care about their land count, like Affinity.
>>44802130
You could loam/crucible ghost quarters in addition to blood moon. Play asuza for maximum value. There you go, got your own little shitbrew going on.
>>44801494
Its just to me the cantrip and the fact it goes right to the graveyard so I can delve it out for become immense seems like its much faster.
>>44802130
Urborg+Spreading Algae is pretty cute. Find a way to stall until turn 5 and cast Plow Under for maximum "fuck you".
>>44802208
>>44802263
Thanks fellas, gonna see if i can brew a 60-card shitpile with these
>>44802194
That's what the sideboard is for, hopefully. At least it fucks up tron
>>44802367
>That's what the sideboard is for, hopefully. At least it fucks up tron
I suppose that is one way of looking at it. Affinity's worst matchup is the sideboard.

Will new jace retain it's value after it rotates? should i buy now or wait?
>>44803686
The best time to buy Jace, Flipwalker was 6 months ago.
The fact that it's a 2-sided card makes it very difficult to be reprinted in the future
Stoneforge unban this Monday.
Who's ready?
>>44803686
You should buy it never. It's a bad card
>>44803787

Bloodbraid elf unban, like to see some support for fair midrange decks
>>44797992
lmao I remember picking them up for 6 around a year ago because blue and black weren't even a real combination of colors back then.
>>44801627It already exists.

>"Pithing Needle, naming heritage Druid"
>"gg"
This doesn't work since Heritage Druid's activated ability is a mana ability and Pithing Needle cannot stop this, you can still name Heritage Druid but won't stop them from tapping for GGG. Phyrexian Revoker however can.
>>44797286
>Currently Playing?
Esper Control. I like grinding out as much value as humanly possible.
>Sideboard tech
Combo - Runed Halo. I don't expect it to shut down combo decks, but it forces them to interact with me, which slows them down, which is exactly what I want.
Fair decks - Elspeth, Sun's Champion. In a fair attrition matchup, its basically "I win the game".
Aggro - Baneslayer Angel. If you literally do not have lethal burn in hand by the time this comes down you're dead.
>Aggro, Combo, or Control?
I generally prefer Control but I'm not opposed to playing combo, but if I'm going to play combo I'm going to be playing something degenerate like Bloom.
http://i.imgur.com/LUEFjk3.png
>>44804134
Neat if true. Try with Urza's Tower.
I kinda want to make a RG Dragon deck. Mostly using Green for ramp, until I can get out Ventmaw Savage, some sort of mana dork, and then Hellkite Charger and just attack forever.
>>44804134
If Twin gets banned a lot of people are going to quit modern.
>>44804282

If Amulet Bloom survives the banning, Amulet Bloom.
>>44804134
This is not good. Why would you ban Twin? Fucking Wizards lol
At least this time I own multiple other decks. Last time I owned Affinity and was building Pod. This time I own everything.
>>44804315
People said the same thing when Birthing Pod was ban. Now look where we are. I don't think twin is gonna get banned though.
>>44804533
Why?
Because they can't give blue ANYTHING without pushing Twin over the top.

>Tron king of meta confirmed (?)
>>44804576
This
>Maybe they unban preordain and ponder
>maybe Ad nauseam becomes tier 1
>>44804576
You can say the same for every deck in Tier 1. Next year people will say you can't print more Merfolk because the Modern deck becomes too popular with it.
And let's be real, Wizards isn't going to print good blue spells that slot well into Twin anyway.
>>44804134
I guess I'll try jamming Kiki in but if that fails I'm gonna be a sad fucking panda.
If they do go for amulet bloom, I hope they just ban something like tolaria west or maybe pact of negation or something instead of the combo itself.
Fuck, I liked going against Twin.
This will result in more Tron, which eventually will become more Burn.
Fuck Burn.
>>44804766
Lol what?
No you can't. Merfolk gets printed almost every set. Origins had one that's a 4x in Merfolk.
They just printed a 1UR Merfolk that may see play.
This is very different. This is banning a card so that the entire color can get better cards which may open up the possibility of more decks.
Blue is pretty weak in modern right now..
>>44804680
>ad nauseam becomes tier 1
Please no, the mirror match up is horrible. If ad nauseam ever becomes tier 1, I could see a piece being banned just to prevent the horrible mirror.
Are you guys ready for modern to become nothing but Infect. Tron matchups?
I'm torn between three decks right now:
>RW Allies
>Monowhite Death & Taxes
>Boros Bridge
Which one is more likely to be useful for longer? It'll be my first modern deck and I'd like it to last me a while.
Apparently there are rumors of twin and summer bloom getting banned. Does this mean ad nauseam is the best combo deck in modern if you don't count infect?
>>44805110
Buddy, stop trying to shill your Ad Nauseams.
The best combo deck becomes Scapeshift probably. Or Living End.
>>44804975
>mfw I have a pretty decent matchup against both infect and tron but terrible against twin
$25 at pre-release will it destroy modern as much as its going to destroy standard? How long till its treasure cruise'd and tron players go back to jund?
They killed the reddit thread
>>44804987
Lol they're all garbage and not real decks.
I guess DnT is okay
>>44805329
I should have said, I really only enjoy playing garbage stupid decks. The jankier and more thematic the better I feel when I eke out the occasional win at my FLGS.
>>44805360
I like you. Hulk Footsteps.
>>44805360
>I'm poor
>>44805309

>>44805506
Yes it's removed. You can still view the thread if you have the link, however.
>>44805506
Yeah they did, it's not on the front page anymore.
>>44805446
Not going to lie, it's cute. But I like janky non-combo best of all.
>>44805473
It's not a money thing. If you want to attach some form of negativity to it, play on my need to be a special little snowflake for attention. That's more accurate.
>>44805533
the r/magictcg mods are the biggest group of shitters I have ever seen.
How did you guys do at FNM? Managed to go 4-0 by bluffing lethal withad nauseamduring game 2 of the final rounds. Do you guys have any interesting bluff stories?
>>44805556
>But I like janky non-combo best of all.
Time walk?
>>44804879
Would banning twin mean they could justify unbanning ponder and preordain?
>>44805623
Would make storm and potentially Grishoalbrand significantly better.
>>44805623
Storm is still a thing.
>>44805623
I'm stockpiling those for now
>>44805641
Fucking Grishoalbrand.
I would have rather they ban that than Twin.
A twin ban actually doesn't sound that bad. Granted, I play Affinity, but still...
>>44805588
Won 4-0 with Lantern Control.
Not a bluff, but an amulet player was so angry and distracted, he forgot to pay for the pacts. Twice.
>>44805641
Griselbrand reanimator dies to any counterspell and grave hate. The only problemátic card is blood moon
>>44805643
>>44805641
Would storm even be dangerous if they were both unbanned? Its been garbage for a while now.
Sam Black said that fair decks are bad for modern.
Looks like WotC agrees!
>>44805716
Then Sam Black is an actual fucking retard. Only a spastic could think that a format containing powerful threats and weak answers is remotely healthy.
>>44805684
>The only problemátic card is blood moon
Speaking of cards that need to be banned. When the entire format has to warp to cater the existence of a card, I think there's a problem.
>>44805360
Jeskai Ascendancy or its more control-y sibling Jeskai Ascendancy Gifts
>>44805785
>having to play some basic lands is format warping

inb4 redditt
>>44805838
Well it pretty much is since it means 4/5c decks basically can't come into existence. Just look at Legacy. BUG Delver splashes red and wins in an environment with Wasteland and Stifle. Then as soon as Blood Moon resolves, it loses. Blood Moon makes Wasteland look like a shit card.
And really, when you have to factor a card's existence in your deck's construction in such a way that it makes your deck worse without even hitting the table, I think there's a serious problem.
>>44805902
>And really, when you have to factor a card's existence in your deck's construction in such a way that it makes your deck worse without even hitting the table, I think there's a serious problem
Totally. Let's ban Lightning bolt too so I can play any creature I want
http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/january-18-2016-banned-and-restricted-announcement-2016-01-18
Ban blue mana, its more of a legacy color anyway
>>44805944
Bolt is a face card 90% of the time, and no one actually changes the creatures they play based on Bolt existing anyway. Like, no one ever has. Meanwhile Blood Moon warps the format without touching the table.
>>44805978
>TWIN
LITERALLY NOT EVEN THE BEST DECK IN THE FORMAT
>>44805978
>twin

Fucking lol.
>>44805978
Hope you picked up your Ravagers while they were $50 because Affinity is now officially the king of Modern.
Man it feels so good to be playing affinity right now
>Releases a modern masters set with twin in it
>bans it
>mfw
man I was hoping twin would get hit but I didn't think they would cripple it like that. jesus christ. just ban exarch so the combo always dies to bolt
>>44806053
Lol I should just play a 4 of stony silence in the main knowing that gr tron and affinity are our new overlords.
>Twin is banned
So, how are we supposed to stop Tron now? I don't wanna play burn
>>44806180
Play Affinity, Anon ;^)
>>44806180
Don't worry. They'll ban it when it gets too popular.
>>44805978
The date says the 18th though, is this legit?
>twin ban
wizards wtf
i just built this wizards
now tron is gunna be the best
wtffff
AND TWIN GOES DOWN!
>>44806228
Has to be. Doesn't really surprise me, WotC has some of the most kneejerk, retarded reactions to shit that gets leaked early. The article was probably already written up and they just posted it.
>>44806279
That may be the greatest wrasslin moment I've ever seen.
>be wizards
>releasing shit set after shit set
>destroys modern
>standard plz
So no cards were unbanned?
>>44806389
not. even. one.
Okay so I'm not super upset, I really did enjoy Twin but I still have Jund;_;
What the fuck should I do with my Twin stuff now? Most of it is still useful except the tap dudes
>>44806389
Nothing unbanned. Tron is the undisputed king of modern now.
>>44806402
Turn it into Delver.
Your Jund deck is useless now. Tron is going to dominate until April. Then they'll make a new Emrakul and Modern will die.
>>44806402
Hold it for a while, wait for some chump to make a good deck using those cards.
Man I'm fucking sad. I own every Modern deck and this banlist update STILL breaks my heart.
>>44806389
Soon the ban list will be as long as legacy's ban list, which is terrifying considering legacy contains busted cards like THE ENTIRE POWER 9 and Time Vault. So many cards could come off the modern ban list that it's just frustrating.
>>Currently Playing
Not fucking twin
>>44806396
>Play Jund
>Just finished building Twin because of all the cancerous Eldrazi, Tron and Bloom decks
Welp, guess I should just build burn then. Fuck this format
>>44806424
I don't even play the deck, and it upsets me.
>>44806415
Delver in modern is really shitty though. I guess I could go Jeskai or something. For right now I'm gunna try to build Kiki Chord in sadness and then maybe Jeskai
>>44806424
Same senpai, Jund just got a ton worse too. Time to play linear it looks like, guess I'll build robots
>>44806430
I seriously think I'm going to switch over to Standard now. Nothing can be worse than playing against Tron 4 times a night.
So what's a No-Banlist Modern look like anyway?

My friend who almost never plays has affinity built, only missing Glimmervoid. Don't know how viable that will be against Tron once Kozelik's Return gets printed.

>>44806516
UR Tempo is still going to be a thing. What'll happen is people will remember that Delver is still a really good card and start using it again. Twin combo wins weren't really how the deck won most of the time anyway. It was usually the efficient beatdown plan.
>>44806497
Damn, heartbreaking desu. At least you still have Robots, which eats Tron
>>44806501
Still viable because you can go faster than it
glad i didnt fucking buy tarns though
>>44806541
Burn beats Tron
Affinity beats burn
Tron beats affinity
Format is officially balanced
>Ban Twin, the combo vulnerable to multiple different types of removal spell
>Don't touch Tron at all
I don't see why they banned twin when the reason the deck has such success recently is that it can maindeck blood moon. Wizards shat the bed so hard it isn't even funny.

>>44805556
I'm on the same page as you, I gain more satisfaction from playing a brew and going 2-2 then going 4-0 with Affinity or Merfolk.
It's just satisfying to see something you thought up pull through even a little against the titans of the format
Anyone have any info about those clear case/deck sets by MJ Holdings? They sell em at bigbox stores and they seem like a decent deal for 20 bucks. Even if the 60 card deck + 2 boosters is shit at least you get some dice/spindown, and 40 sleeves
>>44797286

>wanted to build BGx someday
>no reason to now that Tron/Affinity/Burn owns the format
Is this truly the worst feel of them all?
Well, now I hope SFM will go back down and I'll get to buy my 4x GP promos for $10 each just like Grizzlybear and Batterphalus.
>>44806560
Twin combo was there to keep shit tier linear uninteractive decks in check. Now if you try playing URx you lose to whichever one you don't pack 4+ sideboard hate for.
>>44806780
It's worse when you only had Jund put together and you were in the process of building Twin.

I just sold 2 for $41 apiece. Ill be able to buy a whole playset if I wait 2-3 weeks.
Since BGx is garbage now, what do you expect Goyf to plummet to?
>>44806826
Eternal no proxies allowed was just horrendous communication on wizards part
Time for Snaps, Cryptics, and Cliques to flood the market so I can build a shit tier Esper deck
>>44806813
No, but I had thought about integrating it into my grixis control sideboard.
I feel awful for whoever just bought a playset of Twin.
My interest in modern has gone from "none" to "actively avoid"
Well, Modern is over. No deck is safe from its own success, and only linear aggro and midrange goodstuff are kosher.
Pack it in, boys.
Well there goes one of the few matchups I felt good about with Hatebears.
Are you ready for colorless winter? Now tron can sideboard 100% against Burn/Affinity and Eldrazi doesn't have to worry about losing to combos.
I believe eldrazi black will rise to tier 1 deck and defeat the evil GR tron overlord
Why the fuck did they ban Twin instead of Exarch?
Pestermite is in Bolt/Wail range, and just having fewer creatures to combo with would hurt the deck as well.
>>44806889
Wrong. You have to play non-interactive decks now. Midrange is finished.
>David Bowie
>Alan Rickman
>Splinter Twin
RIP in peace
Who are they gonna ban now for this leak that was 100% their fault for not putting money into their fucking web development?
I don't have anywhere to talk about the pauper banning, b-but what am I gonna do without the cloud of faeries in my U delver?
At least only one person at my shop runs tron so I can still Jund around
That's a nice meta you had there. Shame if something were to happen to it
AHAHAHA TWIN FUCKBOYSshame about bloom though, that deck was really cool
>>44806928
Every new player at my store is playing it. It's only going to get worse now.
This is it. We're officially in nuclear fallout mode. Prepare for hilarious metagame shifts as we enter into a new age of Modern. If anyone needs me I'll be buying Legacy cards online to finish my Stoneblade deck.
I quit. I will go with yu gi oh, if everything will be uninteractive decks
>>44806927
Play literally ANY of the other amazing blue spells in it's wake
>>44804877
Tron will dominate completely now that Twin is gone. It's only bad matches remain Affinity and Burn, since they already assrape the rest of tier 1 with their mainboard, they can dedicate all their sideboard to beating Affinity and Burn and we're fucked.

>>44806980
Too fucking bad, you should have thought of that before you bought into Modern
>>44806980
Play Jund and lose I suppose.
Interaction right now is at an all time low imo. I'd be okay-er with this if something from Tron got banned because without Twin police its gunna go nuts
>>44806696
Shit, that's the only card I'm missing from the deck too. I have a whopping 1 copy. I guess I can just run a less good version for a while, I suppose.

It really was, wasn't it? I didn't really appreciate what Twin did for the format up until people were forced to start sideboarding major hate for it, and even then it still won tons of events.
Now that Twin is gone and without true MLD in Modern, Tron is gonna run rampant. This is like moving from a small town with good police to the south end of Chicago.

One of my friends just finished foiling out his Twin deck today
A year ago he foiled out Pod. I really want him to foil out Tron now.
>Wizards won't reprint Blood Moon or Magus of the Moon in Shadows Over Innistrad even though they would be perfect flavor-wise and need the reprints
I can feel the disappointment already
>>44807089
Nah people fucking despised Twin just look at past modern threads here.
>>44807120
That poor dude. At least the smug ass dude who sometimes came to my LGS gets knocked down a peg for having foil Twin.
I knew a Twin ban was coming but damn I didn't want it to happen
>>44807126
And hurt their precious Tron? Not a chance, those little kids like playing with Eldrazi, and Wizards will make sure nothing gets in their way.
>>44806958
>YGO
>interactive
Why would anyone play Modern anymore? Wizards has all but confirmed that no deck is safe.
>STONEFORGE MYSTIC UNBANNING GAIZ
lol
>>44807126
>perfect flavor-wise
>Innistrad's moon is made of silver
Well modern is now dead, we went from diversity to twon vs burn vs affinity
>>44807167
Yes I'm sure they absolutely couldn't cover the moon in blood with magic or something, you're right, absolutely unthinkable
Meanwhile in Legacy:
>no changes
>meta is healthy
>last time shit got banned the community was cool with it
>lots of prospective playables in Oath for Goblins and MUD
Wizards is trying to tell you something.
I've been thinking of running hatebears/D&T for a while now
what will these bannings mean for those two decks?
>>44807144
Summer Bloom is no surprise, but Twin wasn't overly oppressive, didn't win before turn 4, and wasn't inherently any more breakable unlike Pod which was just gonna keep getting better. There was no reason for a ban other than "it's done too well for too long, so fuck this deck in particular" which shouldn't be a valid criterion for killing the deck.
I don't even particularly LIKE Twin and I think this is horseshit.
>>44806780
>>44806809
Niggers, Jund has fair game vs Affinity and Burn, now it's the time to ally and gang up on those colorless faggots.
They are going to have to emergency unban twin. As a tron player, the deck is going to be extremely broken now.
>no longer need to dedicate half their sideboard just to have a 50/50 matchup against twin
>can now dedicate their sideboard to burn and affinity
>no longer need mainboard spellskites due to lack of twin, leaving more room for board wipes
>>44807099
Yes and no. It has bad matchups vs Affinity, Tron and Burn who are going to dominate the fuck out of the meta.
Yes because it'll tear apart literally every other deck. It's a gatekeeper deck, you must be this good to be considered anywhere near tier 1.
>>44807167
Do you not know what causes a blood moon? Hint: it's not what the moon is made of
>Be falling out of magic for a while now, used to play standard constantly
>Buy Burn deck to get into modern, sell standard deck when prices are stupidly high. Decide to just play this for my magic fix.
>Burn has done nothing but get better since I swapped.
>Tron exploding in popularity and Twin banned
God bless the USA.
>>44807214
Jund gets shit on by tron, though. And I don't think the eldrazi matchup is particularly good as well.
I just saw the bannings and ha ha ha oh my god is Wizards even trying with Modern anymore?
Legacy decks look better and better all the time, too bad it's dead as fuck.
>>44807210
Twin was one of it's best match ups
I mean it still favored Twin but your disruption hit it pretty hard.
Tron should in theory just dump on hatebears, especially if Kozilek's Return starts getting mainboarded.
>>44806849
More like they had to backpedal because Trick and Helene are fucking assholes and the vintage community was ready to make their own DCI and stop opening 100 boxes of conspiracy for a foil Dack Fayden.
>>44807210
Fewer decks to hate, more space for pure aggro.
>>44807207
>If you run a proxy tournament you can lose your WPN status
Wizards is actively trying to fuck Legacy too.
Eye of Ugin needs a ban desu
>>44807157
Between Pendulum Magicians, Kozmo, Amorphages which will be basically YGO's D&T and the release of Solemn Strike I guess the next YGO meta will have very much interaction.At least with your wallet, the prices are through the roof, fucking Konami.
>>44807214
Jund's game 1 against Affinity and Burn is terrible. Four Maindeck Confidants and 3 Thoughtsiezes means you get fucked.
Games 2 and 3 vs burn aren't much better. Jund doesn't have much good life gain. It does better against affinity post board, but can still be pretty goddamn hard if they have an explosive start.
Time to jump ship to Force of Will for good. It's as powerful as Modern but isn't run by a shitty company like WotC.
>>44807271
Jund should run Feed the Clan, it shouldn't be that hard to get your Goyf to 4 power.
>>44806909
They think
>Lol just use Kiki
Is an aswer.
>>44807271
It's been a while since I looked at Junk. Any better game against Affinity and Burn?
>>44807305
Better against Burn for sure. Rhino doesn't give a shit about Eidelon. Plus Sorin and Vault.
>>44807271
I think junk will do better
>stony silence
>leyline
>path
> finks
>rhinos
>teeg
>voice
Actually fuck it since blue is getting fucked I'm just going to build Gifts
>>44807270
Every time I get back into the game it's been Synchro Solitaire, Burning Ass: The Shuffling, or Respawning Spacejews. I've literally never played the game in an interactive meta.
>>44807305
lingering souls is pretty good against affinity.
>>44807271
Jund's affinity match-up is pretty good. Killing inkmoth nexus is a pain though
The age of Twin is over. The time of Tron has come.
Ok so this makes Tron and the Eldrazi decks better, we know that.
What other Tier 3 or Tier 2 decks do you think get bumped up a tier?
>>44807346
You mean UW Tron?
>>44802130
spreading seas is better than peak eruption against burn and pretty much every other deck except twin. Burn runs pretty much no spells with generic mana in their costs.
>>44807051
This desu sempai.
>>44807346
Will gifts get a place in the meta?
>>44807378
Combo decks that kill after turn 4 like scapeshift
>>44807378
Death and taxes, jund will be tierra 2 imo
GET BTFO BLUE PLAYERS AHAHAHAHA
YOU KNOW WHAT DOES WELL AGAINST TRON?
