>tfw get to run 4 of these in burn sideboard and bring all of them in against Tron
They're probably the most useful SB slot all around, I use it in tons of matchups.
wtf with all the spikes ?
Modern is getting as expensive as Legacy without the safety to get buttfucked by random bans.
Just ordered 50$ chinamen cards because a 40$ uncommon is just complete bullshit. Fuck you jews of the coast, fuck you star of david games REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Should I build Scapeshift or Abzan Midrange?
>>44915526
If I'm on the play this sets them back a turn and they can't cast Karn or Wurm
Try this shit online for solitaire fun;
18 Island
4 Calciform Pools
2 Snapcaster Mage
4 Serum Visions
1 Telling Time
4 Remand
4 Exhaustion
1 Cryptip Command
4 Time Walk
4 Walk the Aeons
4 Temporal Mastery
2 Part the Waterviel
1 Temporal Trespass
4 Dictate of Kruphix
2 Howling Mine
1 Elixir of Immortality
Lil Jace is fun in the deck but he gets killed often. Add more waterviels if you'd like but I find 2 works.
Survive until turn 5 using counters, then with extra draws you can have infinite turns.

>What is set of Warping Wail in every Tron side after tomorrow
>>44915508
The question is: are the proxies any good?
I'm worried we won't be seeing any more Modern-level cards all year long because MaRo is making a point to feature shit about players saying powerful cards are shit and modern doesn't matter in standard set design.
The eldrazi are obviously an accident since they're not actually powerful in standard and wouldn't see play if they couldn't play 8 sol lands in modern.

Clearly Jeskai Control and Temur Tempo. Did you not read WotC's article on why they banned Splinter Twin?
>>44915508
>wtf with all the spikes ?
Large vendors like SCG and ChannelFireball were given advance knowledge of the bans by an insider at Wizards. This allowed them to predict what would happen to the metagame, and start capitalizing off it. Note how Twin and Amulet never rose in price during all of the price rises, and all of the cards that rose in price have a place in either Burn, Affinity, Tron, or the remaining uninteractive combo decks.
You're all being played for a bunch of idiots.

>>44917008
>>44917011
I mean, obviously other can counter this, but there wouldn't be any legitimate complaints to a judge about me using Fumarole's ability infinite times during my turn would there?
>>44917016
>Nephalia Drownyard just rotated out so now everyone needs Jace, Memory Adept to replace it
Heh.
>>44916984
The fact that you're playing a shit 4 drop stops it.
>>44917032
Why would there be? IRL you can just shortcut it.
>>44917040
That's not the same thing. Prophet was what happens when leyline had seedborne's baby and was run in most u/g or u/g/x lists.
>>44917065
It's sort of the same. The implication is that one card which does everything you want it to can be replaced by hamfisting cards that do similar things into your deck. You can Green Sun for Prophet and get the entire Muse/Leyline package. Without Prophet, you can Green Sun for Muse, but you need to naturally draw the Leyline. It's just not the same.

How long can this be sustained?
RIght now everywhere but north-america, western europe, s. korea, japan and australia are being priced out of product by disadvantaged type exchange on already poor economies. I don't know about mexico but canada and america are looking famelic when it comes to LGS attendance and even SCG's events are drawing less people than other seasons.
How long until one hoarder chickens out and the wave comes crashing down on the secondary market?
>>44916984
It's a turn 5 combo at the earliest.
Most likely turn 6+ since you need to give that shit trample/unblockable/protection and hold a counter for Path.
By turn 6 you're facing Ugin and Karn, Ulamog, Blight Herder and Oblivion Sower, 6+ 3/3 flying vigilance tokens, or have already been dealt 28-32 combat/12+poison damage by Burn, Affinity or Infect.

Is this still a decent 8rack list to build or did bfz/khans change the deck a bbit?
>>44917088
>famelic attendance
My north west England LGS is lucky if it gets enough people to even do a standard FNM these days. The LGS is actually nicer now than it was a couple years ago, but INN/RTR standard could pull 20-30 on an average FNM with ease. You could actually build a deck you liked back then for like $100 tops and do well with it. Now you can't build quirky decks, everything is either terrible or stupidly powerful and powerful. $500-$800 for a deck that rotates out faster than ever and isn't even fun to play.
It's beanie babies all over again.
>>44917148
8rack isn't decent
>>44917148
Asking for opinions on a deck that can't top 8 in the first place is pointless. You don't need opinions on decks because results speak for themselves. Taking 8rack back to the drawing board and approaching it from another angle is likely the best option.

Hey that's actually a pretty solid combo
Can't be bolted or Abrupt decayed and can happen on turn 4 if you're running some rituals and turn 5 with out.
Could this replace the stupid Kiki combo?
>>44915547
Build Eldrazi midrange instead.

>>44917727
I'm going to do the exact opposite of whatever you recommend because you're an insufferable tranny faggot so Scapeshift it is.
I saw a dream that I was playing some kind of Bant Superfriends/Control/Midrange.
I tried to recreate it, but it's all over the place;
>two sets of mana dorks (Noble, Birds)
>25 lands
>durdly early drops (Finks, Wall of Omens)
>narrow UW control package (Cryptic, Path, Verdict, Leak, Spell Snare)
>reach for late game (Eternal Witness, Snapcaster)
>Planeswalkers as finishers
Also there was a Sun Titan in the dream, but that seems rather dubious.
Someone wanna try making something sensible looking along these lines?
wut
>>44917990
It doesn't. It doesn't help against Tron either.
Modern land destructions is useless
>>44917990
How does it not? Blow up their Eye of Ugins and Eldrazi temples.
>>44918020
They'll already have large threats out by then.
Keep in mind that Eldrazi don't have to wait three turns like Tron to start dropping fatties.
>>44917148
Play 24 lands (16swamp4muta4urborg) with 4 Smallpox to avoid mana screw, pack rats to side (blank their creature removal, mutas beat enough) and replace with funeral charms and/or dedicated creature removal, slaughter pact isn't needed with Twin gone.
>>44918002
I legitimately think that Bant with 4 copies of Wargate is the only thing that might stand a chance against the shitstorm to come. Being able to Wargate for 2, grab Pacifism, and put it on a Bogle is a huge deal. Then you've got your Affinity boardwipes in green, Timely Reinforcements for Burn in white, and countermagic for Tron threats.
I have dared to dream, /tg/.
>>44915708

It's happening guys.
My econ teacher wants us to write proposal topics and turn it into him. It can be on anything we want as long as it's related to economics.
Guess who's writing an essay on the economics of reprint policy and the buyouts in the modern format?
>>44917148
Oh and don't play Ensnaring Bridge in main either, just gives more targets for artifact hate and only does real work against abzan company, replace with removal or more discard. Only play 2 Thoughtseize to make burn MU winnable.
We're at the point where people just leave when they see turn 1 Eldrazi lands.

Can Twin just be turned into UR Tempo like when you board out the combo games 2/3 or is the deck dead?
>>44918704
Playtest?
>>44918687
He's 2 mana because Wizards won't print 1 mana dorks anymore. He was given upside lip service because Wizards wanted to pretend like there's a reason this card has an upside.
>>44918676
Sorry to hear that you didn't pull anything else good but that is a nice foil. I myself ordered a foil set of it. The only other card in the set I want is eldrazi displacer for testing in DnT.
>>44918713
I don't have a PC so no cuckatrice and I don't actually own the deck in paper I only own various pieces. I'm thinking of just using the pieces to build RUG Scapeshift because it's still viable and it would be much cheaper.
>>44918687
Any color, for creature spells only.
>>44918704
No because there's no threat of combo which is huge for tempo gain. Twin won most of it's tempo plans because fuckers were scared of doing shit.
>>44918594
Yeah, so all those times wizards printed non one mana dorks totally signaled that one mana dorks would never be in standard again.

>Bant with 4 copies of Wargate
This intrigues me. I've tried to build UWg Bant control before, but it came out clunky compared to Esper or UWR. My friend has been trying to make Bant in any form work in Modern for years. Neither of us have considered Wargate before, but in a post-Twin metagame big splashy sorceries are a lot more viable.
Would you ramp with Birds+Hierarch or Explore+Farseek? Are you going to run the UW midrange Wall of Omens/Kitchen Finks/Resto Angel package, or try and play Supreme Verdict and Cryptic Command? 4 Colonnades as the main win condition? Which planeswalkers would you run?
>>44919070
I'd leave the ramp to Birds and Hierarch purely because they're one drops. The only reason I thought of Wargate was because it's basically a toolbox card that grabs whatever you need. Pacifism for Bogles, Teeg for Tron with Spell Pierce mana for Pyroclasm, Firewalker for Burn, Stony Silence for Affinity, etc.
>>44918874
>>44918866
Jund makes my dick so hard, too bad I'm poor.
I'll just be over here in the corner playing memedrazi
>>44919095
>>44918191
BTL just seems better. The only real upside to Wargate is that you can cast it for four to grab one-drops. Sure it can also search for artifacts and enchantments, but it can't search for sorceries or instants either.
>>44919099
Atleast you can take solace in the fact you beat jund more often than not.
>>44919145
>BTL
I'd forgotten that thing even existed. But I'd still favour Wargate over it. An instant, sorcery, or creature won't save you from the shit that's coming. Any of those card types you might want will be run as a 4 of in your sideboard anyway. I wonder if some compromise between Wargate and Eternal Command could be found.
>>44919099
I love the value BGx packs. Siege Rhino, Goyf, Baloth, Huntmaster, K Command
Such value
Should i sell my scapeshifts (50 each) and buy into infect? Scapeshift seems pretty shit idk why its 50 bucks
>>44918874
Nothing you do is going to stop Karn and Ugin from shoving their oversized wangs down your throat. Your worst matchup just lost its worst matchup. It's like Squirtle was deleted from the original Pokemon games and you were asked which starter was the best.
>>44919212
Its actually really good in the new meta. absolutely stomps tron and if you're a good pilot you can beat aggro more often than not.
>>44919222
Yeah thats why i'm gonna retool to anti aggro with a small hedge vs those, and hope the meta does become linear enough to push tron out.
>>44919294
Pyroclasm will ensure that Tron doesn't get pushed out.
>>44919222
>Nothing you do is going to stop Karn and Ugin from shoving their oversized wangs down your throat.
I think I have a new fetish
>>44919328
This. I've lost track of how many times I've wiped away aggro beats and hate bears that are touted to hose tron.
Is the processor Eldrazi deck actually a thing? I have a friend claims it's "at least T2".
>>44919222
>Your worst matchup just lost its worst matchup
Wrong.
>>44919374
Tron's worst matchup was Twin. Pyroclasm is useless, and tapping out for a big dumb threat is a great way of eating an end step Exarch.
>>44919394
>Tron's worst matchup was Twin
No.
>>44919374
Also this. Burn still exists. I had solid sideboard tech for twin that has now become a lot less relevant and the options for the burn match are weak and few.
>>44919370
Tier 2 decks are like homemade porn of curvy women. You go into it expecting to see big tiddies, slim waists, and child bearing hips, but you find out that the word "curvy" has been usurped by hambeasts trying to convince both themselves and others that they're somehow attractive.
>>44919370
yes, it's stronger than people imagined. eldrazi temple and eye of ugin + urborg turns into crazy fast mana, oblivion sowers and conduit of ruin come down as early as T3. after OGW drops they'll have T2 4/4 cliques. the heartless summoning version cast a turn 4 ulamog on the SCG stream. it also runs lots of main deck graveyard hate which just shuts down several match ups. turns off delve creatures, bashes snapcaster's kneecaps, gives it a bye vs graveyard decks.
>>44919394
Ad nauseam is also an abysmal matchup for tron. Twin wasn't alone.
>>44919432
Do you think that the Blight Herder and Wasteland Stranglers will be relevant once OGW releases?
>>44919459
the BW version likes strangler, blight herder might become a sideboard card for match ups that need speed bumps
>>44915244
Tron runs 2-3 Crucible of Worlds thou right now.
>>44919413
It was a huge reason for Tron not being the most dominant deck in the format. Tron's overall worst matchup is Living End, though. When MTGGoldfish still had their matchup data on the site, it reported 100% match wins for Living End vs Tron.
>>44919425
this is actually a better analogy than id ever imagine it would be
>>44919394
Who thinks twin and ad nauseum is better VS. GR Tron than Infect, mfw, turn 2 God hand gg ofc, but turn 3 is win for infect, and thats jund wrecked pre-sb
>>44919425
Best....Post....Ever!
>>44919510
Crucible is a waste of time desu. More than half the deck is draw, dig, and tutor.
>>44919573
Given that I've won nearly every infect match and lost every ad nauseam match, I'd say that is correct.
>>44915244
playing living end, I've been re-evaluating my SB and trying to cover all my bases. this is what I have now
>3x Crumble to Dust
for tron and eldrazi
>3x Gnaw to the Bone
tap out T3 and T4 to gain life vs burn, they'll probably be out of gas by T5
>4x Ingot Chewer
affinity
>3x Ricochet Trap
anything with counterspells. used to be tech vs twin as well. stealing a splinter twin and sticking it on my fulminator mage was GOAT
>2x Slaughter Games
catch all vs combo decks. there's at least one guy who used to play ad nauseam locally, if he picks it up again the match up is pretty much unwinnable without slaughter games
I also jam 4x fulminator and 4x beast within so I can play stone rain vs tron. thinking about maybe making room for avalanche riders for some extra "fuck you"
>>44919629
Crucible is the best sb vs: Jund, Junk, Restore Balance, Living Death (Especially), i've played GR Tron for like 2 years, its a great card in some matchups, but yes, a dead card in most.

it's very tough. I've only played against it once, went 1-2. game 2 he processed a bunch of creatures back into my yard and tried to go wide, without realize the consequence of his actions. G3 I attacked him down to 3 and he top decked his only all is dust, I didn't find another cascade spell and he top decked a relic,was game over from there. I didn't have crumbles in SB at time though. shutting him down as hard as he shuts me down might give me an edge in the match up
>>44919741
Uncommon.
>>44919668
I disagree. I think its mediocre tech for decks you already have strong game aganst.
>>44916810
The reason why they didn't do well wasn't because of twin, it's because there is no support cards for them to begin with. How will they compete with Tron?
>>44919825
Presumably with the same red, white, and green cards available to other decks.
>>44919770
Read my first post again
>>44919851
The red, white, and green cards that beat Tron are Lightning Bolt, Goblin Guide, Boros Charm, Atarka's Command, Monastery Swiftspear, and so on.
>>44919766
Yeah, the deck sucks because it's almost impossible to meaningfully interact with them. The deck has a much lower average cmc than Tron so even land destruction doesn't do much.
>>44919851
The only two blue decks that had not shitty matchups against Tron were Twin and Scapeshift, and the latter only if the pilot wasn't a complete retard. Going slow against Tron is very difficult because they'll just have meaningful early plays you can't come back from.
>>44919798
Their primary strategy yes, but after SB, often, you will need a way to get back ontop, or your game might be too slow.

>>44920474
For the same reason why blood moon isn't that great, they can still hardcast their wurmcoils and karns while you are wasting your turns instead of applying pressure.
The best hate is sowing salt(or the new version) since it not only prevents tron forever but also sets them back a land.
>>44920431
It's great against eldrazi, blanks inkmoth, and helps slow down scapeshift.

Not a huge fan, wastes one of my turns land drops, and turns 1-3 I want to do big stuff, and then still gives them a land. I feel like in that case spreading seas would cycle, not set me back in tempo and they have the same slow down for mana
>>44920626
By playing a better deck?
>>44920541
Thanks for the ideas, might test some of those. I'm not a fan of tasigur, I have been thinking of running a finks main. Some MB lifegain can be really nice in quite alot of matchups. Thats party why I like the huntmasters, but they are getting to feel a little too slow right now.
Many people are mentioning kalitas right now, and I think i'll test a one of as well.
The charms have actually done wonders for me, but I have been thinking of dropping them, they are probably the weakest part of the board.
>>44920650
But I want to play allies.
I'm not asking if it's the best. I know it isn't.
>>44920630
Well, spreading seas is less versatile, but still great. If I'm playing something blue, I consider both, but ghost quarter goes in everything.
kiki deceiver combo into a zada+expedite
God its like you ur players just expect to win against tron before tron beats you
>>44920681
Allies wasn't a thing when it was in standard with the good allies man. I understand tribal decks but there's my better tribal decks, or token decks
>>44920692
Fair enough, thanks for the feedback. Working on esper so I want to have a lot of Land hate. Tron is the strongest slow deck so it's my biggest problem
>>44915508
Where did you order the chinamen cards from?
>>44920722
You simply cannot beat Tron. You wait until turn 10 to start your big plays. Tron waits until turn 3.
>>44920664
The good thing about Golgari charm is that it's nuts against infect and has play against bogles but your infect match up is already pretty good. Huntmaster absolutely is insanely slow and idk if Obstinate Baloth is any better.
>>44920708
I'm not asking about other token or tribal decks though. I don't doubt other tribal decks are better, but they aren't what I want to build.
They've gotten just enough support with bfz and ogw to be fun to play. I'm not saying they're going to win any tournaments, but let me give it a shot.
How good is the living end deck?
>>44920878
Really good considering 2 biggest memes run relic as a 4 of
>>44920788
Is it fun to go 0-4 on a Friday?
>>44920779
The baloth is mainly there for the mirror honestly and just an extra card for burn as well.
>>44920722
You beat tron with maindeck commandeer
>>44920909
Considering my fnm scene isn't running any tier1 decks, I doubt I'd go 0-4. I've gone 2-1 with a clowny platinum angel/Soul Conduit deck.
But, allies are a fun tribe, and they're what I want to play. If I lose, I lose. I would rather lose with a deck I find fun to play.
Calling it now.
>Banned Twin to reprint Counterspell in SOI.
I really, really hate tron.
What would stop Pox from breaking Tron? A turn 2 smallpox would kill tron lands. I remember seeing a modern variant that utilized Red for Crack the Earth as another "Pox." And because smallpox doesn't hit enchantments, just the hand, creatures, and land, you could use Phyrexian arena instead of Bob to make sure you stayed ahead on the resource war.

>>44921021
>At mythic rare
>>44921118
If I would splash red in pox I'd just go Mardu. Lingering souls is a good discard for pox, you can run lots of fetches and that one land that search for a plains when destroyed. You can run boom//bust in conjunction. White also gives you access to stony silence and other hate enchantments which don't die to pox
Been testing a glittering wish version of ad nauseam. Seems extremely powerful as it effectively gives you 8 copies of ad nauseam with bring to light as well as access to lotus blooms, alternate win cons, and ways to remove hate cards. The only downside being you are less likely to combo off at instant speed, but this isn't a huge problem now that twin is gone.

Is Jeskai Ascendancy the dankest meme deck currently?
>>44921021
Would that even change much? I don't think the lack of good counters is why control is dead in modern.
>>44921302
I've tried many decks in modern and have played it since it's inception and, honestly, playing against pod was hard (but not miserable), playing against jund in the BBE dethrone shaman fiasco was fun (played affinity during such a time) and even twin's evolution proved to just be a skilltesting matchups
But fucking tron.
There is nothing fun about that deck. There's so little skill in the matchup if they natural tron turn 3. It's boring and feels unfair for a deck.
If wizards used a deck being unfun (eggs) it using resources in a way that is hard to combat (bloom titan) and suppresses the metagame (twin) then they should have banned tron.
>>44921298
???
Spoils already does this
is 1 mana
can grab anything
nor reliant on gemstone or artifact mana
BTL is shit
>>44921118
Crack the Earth could work in a RW deck with 4 Flagstones of Trokair and 4 Ichor Wellspring.
Also Boom/Bust with Darksteel Citadels.
>>44921325
hey, this looks pretty cute
>>44921386
Boom//bust works with fetches

Just because Twin is banned, it doesn't mean that your meme deck is now good

>>44921389
Thanks. Building it in paper actually right now
>>44921400
Yup, but I can try now because its not just a worse twin anymore :)
>>44921302
That's hurtful anon.
>>44921400
But it's better :^)
>>44921307
is a bad card.
>>44921427
I went to school with Ali! Awesome dude; glad he's back into Magic.
>>44921427
Ali Aintrazi is a fucking faggot too, don't delude yourself
>>44921427
Isn't that the game where he declared Tron online when it wasn't?
>>44921207
>mythic doesn't mean good, it means complicated.
>>44921502
Eheheh it totally is. If that brony wasn't such a fuck up, he could have won.

>>44921549
Well what exactly CAN you do in that situation? You have an answer, but he has an answer for your answer. There's literally nothing you can do in that situation; the situation is solved. This is my biggest personal problem with the Modern format; it's just too damn shallow. There were no choices the players could've made in those games to change the outcome barring mulligans, but without knowing your opponent's hand you just don't know.
>>44921207
it wouldn't even matter, previous prints of counterspell would be legal to use so there wouldn't be a huge supply problem
>>44921537
>implying the stack isn't too complex for the average standard player
>>44921415
Looks pretty good for me. Once griselbrand reanimator is banned(cause it will), this deck could replace it.
>>44921118
4x Boom/Bust
4x Young Pyromancer
4x Crack the Earth
3x Simian Spirit Guide
4x Gitaxian Probe
4x Serum Visions
3x Hatching Plans
4x Death's Shadow
3x Perilous Research
4x Bitterblossom
4x Inquisition / Spell Pierce
Have fun. Hope there's no burn in your meta.
>>44921725
I like it
>>44918002
I remember seeing this screenshot of a Bant Company brew some threads ago. It contained Voices, the new UW bounce guy, some Flickrwisps and look actual fun to pilot.
Anyone happened to save that screenshot?
>>44921392
Nice, didn't notice that interaction!
>>44921758
Isnt the spell countered since the target is no longer legal?
>>44921800
So long as there's one legal target, it's OK.
You weren't targeting your opponent's fetchland too, were you anon?
>>44921800
i think as long as 1 target still remains its ok
>>44921725
Wait. Forgot 4x Bolt.
-2 Death's Shadow. -1 Perilous Research. -1 sumthin dunno wut.
How long does it take for buyout stuff to go back down? I just want my ravagers, opals, glimmervoids, and inkmoths.
boom // bust buyout? lol
>>44921814
Lol why would i do that? My opponent could fetch in response
>>44921878
Holy shit 9$? Disgusting
>>44921895
dont think goldfish has updated for today, $9 is median on tcgplayer and many listings are $10-$15
>>44921878
lol
>>44921725
Oh. Also you can cut the black entirely and add 2 snapcaster (mostly to flashback probe / crack / pierce) Might be better that way actually. You'll need wincons to replace BB, preferably something with multiple bodies. There's a goblin dude for 2 with echo(?) that drops 2 1/1s or you can play jeskai sage. Delver sorta works.
Sideboard heavily for affinity (crack the earth & boom are both ass here) 2x forked bolt 2 terminate and 2 shattering spree is what i do.
>>44921593
To be fair this is the case in any rock-paper-scissors resource management game where the scales have tipped enough, be it Starcraft, Counter-Strike (being pinned down by AWP with only a pistol with time running out and smoke on the ground etc) or even fucking Chess (there are some positions you can't outplay ever, especially if playing black).
So you guys do realize that for all these weird cards, the dealers keep low supply, so when a few morons buy cards off of troll recommendations in this thread, it creates the illusion of a buyout
>>44917148
Two Slaughter pacts are you fucking mad? This is the stock list. I found this is the best one desu.
>>44921878
Why does everyone think that every time demand for a card surges it's a "buyout." Nobody "bought out" the card. Demand is increasing for it to tech Tron.
>>44921955
I don't understand what I'm looking at here
>>44921380
Spoils can't reliable grab sideboard hate and is effectively dead if you already have ad nauseam in hand. Its only other use is as an emergency button, which while useful in a twin heavy meta, is much less useful now. Being able to grab most of your sideboard hate, alt wincons, and lotus bloom as well as ad nauseam makes wish much more useful now that instant speed isn't as important, as it is almost never a dead card.
>>44922198
at one card for 50 cent, one for 1€, and all the others for 5€
Can anyone explain to me why sedge sliver is so expensive?
I don't play Slivers, but it's confusing how that card is so expensive. I've only encountered a Modern sliver deck once in my whole time playing the format and it was terrible.
I seriously don't understand the secondary market at times.
>>44922190
you are a horrible person
>>44922213
Casuals. Look at ball lightning. Not even fringe played anywhere, reprinted multiple times and still on $2.5
>>44922213
Slivers are a casual favorite. Just go look at the price of the sliver legends, EDH has made them INSANELY expensive.
REPRINT SINKHOLE
TRON WAR NOW
>>44922274
Modern really needs Wasteland, Stifle, and Force of Will.
>>44922224
The only thing that is devilish is the surgical main board.
>>44922197
increased demand is a gradual increase over time
sharply jumpng several dollars literally overnight indicates a large rapid consumption of the available supply.
