Don't know if this is the right place, but considering the public I think it is

my collection just went over the 1k card milestone, and i don't have enough stamina/money to sleeve/box all of the cards
how do I protect them then? Are silica bags good? how about contact with wood? Do I need to make sure the space will be dry and dark? how about average temperature?
>>
>>44888714
Put expensive cards in sleeves in binders. Whatever isn't in a deck that isn't expensive goes in a cardboard card box, sorted first by set then by WUBRG then by alphabetical order.
>>
>>44888754
yes silica bags or no silica bags?
>>
>>44888714
If the number of loose singles you own exceed the size of approximately three fatpack boxes, you have too many. Cull them. Having a large trade binder isn't cool; donate the chaff to someone or the store and only keep the good shit around.

Unsleeved cards don't do well against wood. You don't need silica unless you live in a humid place and if you decide to use them you should make sure the box is sealed so they don't need to be replaced. My cube has sat in a case with silica gel bags and they haven't "worn out" in years.

I see no point in having a large collection in loose cards. The majority of one's collection should be in a deck. I'm not impressed by people's huge binders of mostly-crap, often it tells me they don't care enough to be organized.

>yfw you realize that R E S T O R E B A L A N C E has a great matchup against infect which is going to get wildly popular
hehehehe
>>
>>44888939
I use a converted briefcase to carry all my singles. My random supplies like sleeves and loose packs I put into a shoebox, decks go into another shoebox, which I pick two or three out and carry around in what is essentially a purse with a shoulder strap.

I have a hard limit on the number of singles I own to prevent myself from hoarding, which I am prone to do. The briefcase is always 100% full, if a format staple needs to go into it, it means something has to go. I never have more than around 50 cards for trade at any given time and they're all worth around $7 or more; I don't waste my time with piddly shit that even EDH players don't want.

All in all, the whole shebang can fit into a milk crate.

beast within works, along with aggressively mulliganing to get a spirit guide + combo piece to get a turn 2 Balance. I own both decks and have been running them against each other and it's a pretty tough matchup for infect, not 100% unwinnable for it but it's hard
>>
>>44889850
It doesnt deny mana, you can still cheat things in and you eventually run out of gas

After playing standard for one year I was thinking of making a Modern deck, Zoo. I have some questions.

Is the deck playable (as competitive playable) right now against the rest of the meta?
What are the decks worst/best matchups?
I can afford nearly all the deck except for Arid Mesas and Tarmogoyfs, are there any viable replacements?

In return, my thanks and this burrito rabbit.

I was going to buy a Kiki for EDH before he jumped higher, but my gut is telling me to finish my set of Mutavaults to finish my fish.
>>
>>44890921

>Zoo
No. Play burn or Infect. Zoo is poo
>>
>>44890921
What's the list you're using? If they aren't playing any other delve cards, I like Hooting Mandrills as a budget replacement. Obviously not nearly as good for the fast explosive starts Zoo normally has, but still good. Otherwise just more burn probably. Or you can try shoving Collected Company in there.

Anyway it's probably going to get fucked for a little bit now that Tron players are all going to be trying out their shiny new Kozilek's Return sideboard toy before they decide whether it's actually good or not. Pretty sure Affinity and straight Burn are just faster right than Zoo right now, but its time will come around eventually.

3 Restore Balance
4 Violent Outburst
4 Ardent Plea
4 Greater Gargadon
1 Riftwing Cloudskate
1 Gideon, Ally of Zendikar
1 Garruk Relentless
1 Kiora the Crashing Wave
2 Jace, Architect of Thought
1 Beast Within
1 Utter End
1 Dismember
4 Simian Spirit Guide
4 Wildfield Borderpost
4 Wildfire Borderpost

2 Veinfire Borderpost

4 Terramorphic Expanse
1 Plains
1 Swamp
1 Forest
2 Island
1 Mountain

I have 3 flex spots in that last, currently filling them are 2 Nihilith and 1 Riftwing Cloudskate. Probably going to remove the Garruk, Kiora is decent against Tron because it can stop their creatures and it gives some card draw. I don't really want to get rid of much more removal but maybe I should do that and just run removal in sideboard.

>zoo is bad

I see. This is the deal, like I said Im just a Standard player and I have been playing for a year.
Since Khans will rotate out in April, I was thinking about selling my Abzan deck right now to cash the fetchs and everything else while it holds value.
However I could also keep the fetchs and start building a Modern deck, but nothing too expensive either since I don't have that kind of income right now.

Since my favorite colours are Green and White and I like nature themes, I figured Zoo would go fine with me, but I don't want to build the deck either if it's not competitive enough like you guys say, because I like to go to GPs or big cash tournaments and what not.

This was the Zoo list I saw: http://mtgtop8.com/event?e=11234&d=263815&f=MO

Or should I just build Modern Abzan?
http://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/360637#paper

>>44891062
To be honest Im not that smart, so the easiest more effective playstyle would be my choise.
>>
>>44891174
keep the fetches, those are going to hold value for a long time
>>
>>44891174
so you were playing Azban in standard. Was it Azban aggro or Azban midrange or Azban control?
>>
>>44891202
Okay.

>>44891217
Aggro.
This is pretty similar to what Im running right now: http://sales.starcitygames.com//deckdatabase/displaydeck.php?DeckID=96309
>>
>>44891296
if you were running azban aggro, then you don't want to play modern azban, its a grindy value deck. Zoo aggro is going to be where you want. Aggro zoo runs the naya colors, you keep your fetches and have the naya shocks. Take a look at these two lists:
http://www.channelfireball.com/articles/naya-zoo/
http://www.channelfireball.com/articles/burning-zoo/

zoo was quite bad until nacatl was unbanned and coco was printed.in that first list, go ahead and sub in birds instead of hierarch and Voice instead of goyf for budget alternatives.

The only thing which may swing for Tron is how good the new mythic slagstorm thing is.

I actually expect Boggles to make a huge comeback. Ive never played it and have no idea what their infect matchup is but if its even 50/50 it seems very well positioned.

>>
>>44892381
Infect got better by a lot with the best deck in the format being its free win deck, but struggles a bit against some of the other aggro decks, yet makes up for it by beating the other combo decks. Bogles had something like an 85% game 1 win rate with Twin in, I can only imagine how much more popular it's going to be now. Which is fine actually because I like Bogles, it's really simple and autopilot and fun if you're just chilling or playing drunk.

Nope, you have to turn on Faerie Conclave and enchant it on the same turn and leave faeire conclave untapped. Freed from the Real falls off once Faerie Conclave is no longer a creature.

>>44892522
Therapy usually means combo, and they're probably going to name force if it's blind and game 1. If you only have blue card + FoW then don't bother. If you have blue card + FoW + another counter, it's probably worth it.

I built legacy ANT with the duals for less than some modern decks. legacy Merfolk isn't tier 1, but it's also the cheapest deck that I'd consider playing

You still play fighting games bro?

Just play shocks in place of true duals, lots of people do it
Or get fakes, especially if youre only playing at Pptq or Fnm level. Im slowly acquiring the cards for my thresh deck, people cant tell the difference between the proxied cards and the real ones

like i'm on straight red deck for modern and standard now because i'm not interested in any of the meta decks. fuck-you, sideways redguys and GET 'EM.

>>44893237
I primarily play Legacy because they dont kill a deck solely for "muh meta variety", and standard is full of retards who play shitty decks
I refuse to play against a standard deck that has no win condition except a 2/2, 4 of every counterspell in standard, and about 20 silkwrap style cards

>since it doesn't check the power/toughness after targeting
It does. All targetting spells check requirements upon resolution. It's just that spells that are worded like Warping Wail also check them when declaring the targets. A card like Pyroblast, however, only checks them on resolution, it still allows you target any spell or permanent when declaring that you cast it regardless of its color.

What's the best configuration for burn going into the the new metagame: Naya or RW? I feel like with all of the aggressive decks everyone seems to think are going to be popular that I should be RW in order to have a less painful manabase and have access to maindeck lightning helixes. I've never been a huge fan of command though, so I feel like this might be personal bias getting in the way of playing the objectively best build for the meta. Also, 1x mainboard deflecting palm; super secret tech, or pure jank?

I played straight Boros burn for a long time. When I made the switch over to Naya with cats I noticed myself winning far more. Nacatl is just so explosive and it fixes the problem with running out of gas.
>>
>>44897760
It's just such a shitty top deck though. Even if I play Naya, I probably won't run Nacatls.
>>
>>44897809
>>44897809
It's up to you I had the same exact opinion as you. I love them now even though I absolutely hate the art, I couldn't ever dream of running without them. Imagine a two Nacatl and one guide hand. It absolutely demands an answer from your opponent because with out one you can threaten lethal on turn three. It helps slow your opponents gameplan down.
>>
>>44897560
At lot of people at my LGS netdeck, so its was full of Tron, Affinity, Twin, and Bloom.

Like, Its nice to know turn three is a little safer, but a single Karn activation could cause trouble, and infect will kill me turn 1 if I don't have a Tim Allen in hand. But with Twin and Prime time gone now, should I go give it another shot? or should I go looking for another store.
