white border objectively looks better, I've asked non magic players and they overwhelmingly prefer white border

you only think white border is worse because you associate it with low value

the correct choice is to reintroduce white border but only for high value cards, all mythics and foils as well as rare promos will now be white border

Soul Sisters is a fine tier 3 deck. It'll do fine at your FNM but anything above you'll probably get smoked.

Just the way it is.

There's pretty much nothing that can stop this deck besides one mana removal and not tapping out turn one.

I think that modern has reached a turning point.

They either unban things and allow the format to speed up. Or they ban the best deck in modern every year.

>>45277601
With a sideboard of something like 1 Chalice 1 Anti-LD of your choice 1-2 Pithing Needle 2-4 Melira 1-4 Anti-burn (Swagtusk, Feed the Clan), Gut Shots, Nature's Claims and Warping Wails you have a chance to bounce back g2/3 vs all of those. 15-20 damage by t3 with a free thoughtseize from Eldrazi Workshop is too much but either Temple or Eye is getting banned after the PT anyway.
>>
>>45277606
um. they are pretty clearly going to just keep banning things.
>>
>>45277584
I don't. Stony Silence and Ghost Quarter makes the matchup pretty 50/50.

>>45277608
It doesn't hurt to split the sisters, to be honest. So it's just an extra precaution that I have no reason not to take.

Also if the sisters deck has removal it is a fair match against infect.
>>
>>45277631
> Stony Silence and Ghost Quarter
As a Tron pilot, trust me it really doesn't. A Ghost Quarter is so much negative tempo for you while allowing me to cast Stirrings and Scrying without an egg or giving you life it's not even funny, your best bet is to beat my face in with a fat Pridemate by t3/4. Tron never keeps an opener without Nature's Claim g2/3 unless it has natural Wurm/Ugin/Karn t3 (on the play you can crack map before SS).
>>
>>45277645
>I can win 10-0 matchups!
>>
>>45277632
tron has always been weak to decks that are very fast and that is what eldrazi is, it comes out fast and is also huge and resiliant against the removal that tron has

you need fast tron and a wurmcoil or you are in trouble

worst of all is that tron just isnt better than eldrazi at anything, theres no advantage to the deck
>>
>>45277529
I don't think you understand what CoCo does and where it works best. You don't have a single 3 drop in there, the best you can hope for is getting equal (2 two drops for 4 mana)
>>
>>45277657
Not only is Eldrazi fast, but Ugin's -X is useless at stabilizing the board.
>>
>>45277645
Honestly, the only rough matches sisters had were tron, bogles and bloom. I'm not sure how it would fare against eldrazi, but with the lifegain, token chumps, and ghost quarters I could see it win. Getting a serra's ascendant online would probably win the game.

Don't underestimate the sisters. You can grind harder than jund, eat burn and go just as fast as affinity. Gonna start playing it again and see how it does.

Eye is fine compared to temple. Even if eye was banned, temple still allows for turn 2 thought-knot and turn 2 reality smasher with simian spirit guide. Eye of Ugin is legend so they can't play two and Ugin + Urborg doesn't allow for the turn 2 thought-knot.

>>45277749

Nothing's as fast as it since they keep banning stuff.

If they ban eye then we'll get a grindy eldrazi deck early plays replaced with targeted discard and removal. (jundrazi/junkdrazi) Likely heartless summoning to get the discounts, the creatures are great.The mana base will be fragile as fuck.

How does it feel to be retarded?

>>45277823
But it doesn't allow for degenerate turn 2 and 3 plays. Sure they can play mimic and endless one for free, but it prevents a turn 2 thought-knot and a turn 3 reality smasher without simian. Plus it makes colorless mana matter more as ugin doesn't generate colorless even with urborg.

This is game 3. It says so at the bottom right above the Protour symbol. "Players Tied 1-1"

I do think the coverage is lacking comprehensiveness.

They don't give a shit about Modern and Legacy when printing cards. Their first and top-most priorities are Limited and Standard. Hence why Delve was such a fucking disaster.

On the contrary. I think they deliberately print cards that are format warping for modern, to get it to drive sales.

I can't wait for Jeskai Ascendancy to get the next format warping madness cards in SoI.

Chapin said it best last night, there's no fucking winning with Modern because everyone will just bitch about whatever shit ass new deck becomes the new kid on the block.

This format is fucking garbage, but not because of WotC, because of the players and their fanatical need to ban everything.

Is it worth it to trade out of Burn and into Memedrazi? If so, which build do I make? I already have a playset of strands I could use in the draft chaff version, but that already lost out to affinity. Whose list is the best?
>>
>>45278451
Dank.
>>
>>45278358
I don't disagree with what you're saying, but the suggestion that Twin "barely won anything" is ludicrous. Twin won 2 PTs, with many more top 8s and was similarly dominant on the GP scene, I think it won something like 7 GPs and put up a bunch more top 8s too.
>>
>>45278358
My vision is a modern where due to excessive bannings Soul Sisters becomes the dominant deck to beat.

As long as they keep doing, what makes you think people will stop doing it?

Also I believe their motives for banning twin, and pod to some point, were not that simple and had more to do with their own self interest. They downright said after the fact that part of the twin ban was "Making the pro tour exciting" not to even mention their clear intent to push BFZ cards this whole event which would have happened even if memedrazi didn't break the pro tour.
>>
>>45278455
Jeskai Ascendancy is going to be the next meme deck. Madness is being reprinted in SoI and will be extremely pushed to sell cards to modern audiences.

Eye of Ugin is going to be banned before the next pro tour.

Eldrazi draft chaff has the better match up in the mirror. Other eldrazi beats everything else.

I'm looking down the road post ban, grindy eldrazi decks the creatures are too good to pass up for the built in card advantage and as finishers. B/g/x stirrings, heartless summoning, rape people's hands with thoughtseize and Iok.

To be fair, Chapin is a fucking moron. A few of the very loudest, most obnoxious people were bitching about the fact that Siege Rhino just got slammed into Pod, and so Pod got the axe for the "design space" argument they occasionally drag out and ritualistically beat with shit like SFM. Nobody was bitching about Twin. The deck wasn't dominating, it didn't break the rules, and the ban came seemingly out of fucking nowhere. Anyone who didn't have their nose firmly planted in WotC's collective ass was left wondering what the hell Wizards was thinking, because the Twin ban doesn't make blue better.

Eldrazi, on the other hand? People have been muttering about this here and there since OGW got spoiled. There was a general realization, especially among older players and pros, that we already kinda had two Sol lands for that deck already, and that Legacy-style Eldrazi Stompy was going to be a thing. Even a few people on cardsellers' payrolls questioned whether the decision was intended to let Eldrazi flourish at the PT.

6/8-ing the Top 8 is only causing people to bandwagon behind something the smart players already knew: letting Eldrazi have 8 sol lands and then printing cheaper, more efficient Eldrazi was a horrible decision.

So apparently Sam Black went 8-2 in Modern with Lantern (lost to Burn and Affinity) against Eldrazis, everyone start windmill slamming your bridges?
Although Lantern's only mb answer to t1 chalice for 1 is Abrupt Decay, which might come a bit too late to if you want to land a bridge and needle Ratcher Bomb.

Except that "design space" is a fucking specious argument for SFM anyway. Wizards' new sets have been trending downward in power for the past 3 years, there is no remote possibility that they print an equipment that's BETTER than Batterskull. And look at what a turn 3 4/4 would do in this format

The wierd thing is that the bw eldrazi build that started the hype wasn't even played. That version and the other midrange versions could survive a eye ban which despite everyone's bitching I don't see happening before they ban the tron lands. The main reason it was so dominate is because it's new and people tried a completely new build of it that hasn't been seen before. And affinity still dominated like usual but no ban calls there.
