Thoughts on Through the Breach in the post ban meta ?

Right now it's kinda bad since it has troubles dealing with 5/5s on turn 2, but once the Eldrazi menace is gone I feel it could be really well placed : it's moderately fast, has great matchup against CoCo and Affinity and is reasonable against Jund.

Well to be honest you really need a perfect draw to pull that off. Usually it's more on turn 4-5 and not always hits an Emmy.

You'll need several cards to do so. There is no card that give you singlehandedly 5 mana on turn 3.

So you'll need 3 Lands, A big guy, TTB and a combination of two ramp spells to make it work, that's a perfect hand of 7.

He said that they plan to be careful nerfing it and don't want to nuke it, because it's a honest and fun creature deck and not a evil blue deck or nazi combo deck.

That's why there is a chance that it's still gonna be op.
>>
>>46081318
Nah, it's gonna get slammed into the ground.

In case you didn't notice, Drowner of Hope and Eldrazi Skyspawner, Cyclonic Rift and Phyrexian Metamorph have a blue color identity. So the deck is blue, which means it has to get banned for the wellbeing of the format.
>>
>>46081318
I expect Chalice, SSG, or Mimic will be the prime targets. Chalice can be used asymmetrically by the deck (even though it's played less often now and in the side rather than MD), and SSG enabled that filthy T1 Chalice for 1 that got so much attention despite the fact that it had been in the format for ages. Mimic is goddamn Mimic.

I don't expect them to get rid of the lands, because this is quite clearly a deck they want to be in the format and it absolutely lives on having 8 sol lands.

You only need maximum 6 to 8 source of producing mana to start casting 2 spells every turn.
Each producing mana land that you draw is kind of dead.
Fetch land let you play only the minimum producing you need while removing 2 land instead of one from your deck.
And it gives you acces to multiple choices of colors.

>>
>>46081430
And this would be inconsistent with Wizards' track record... in what way, precisely?

>>46081507
Expect the ban to be off-target in some manner. The fact that they're taking their sweet fucking time banning a deck that rocketed to a third of the metagame and that created its own ecosystem of builds designed to beat the mirror suggests that they don't want the deck DEAD, they just want it neutered.

Wizards clearly wants Eldrazi to be a thing, and banning the lands would be far more likely to kill the deck.

>>
>>46081980
But Bob itself isn't the issue. Bob in a non-aggro deck is the issue. Bob in Jund works because the deck focuses on beating the opponent to death with Goyf/Scooze/Bolt. 8Rack aims for the dragged-out game, which doesn't synergize with losing an unpredictable amount of life every turn.

>>46082195
If they banned mimic I think they'd just replace it with something on the same CMC, maybe G/R eldrazi becomes more dominant and Tron Eldrazi makes rises, due to the ability to generate more mana and play more Smashers and TKS.
If they banned TKS I don't know what would happen, but that's a card I wouldn't mind being banned.

>>46082203
I believe MaRo said this.
>>
>>46082195
>How would the deck change if they banned mimic or tks instead of the lands?
Banning Mimic would end T3 kills, and I don't think anyone can argue that would be bad for the format.
Banning TKS would mean non-black variants wouldn't get to pull answers from opponents hands, and would force the use of a less optimal turn 2 play. The deck would be much less oppressive to play against.

So, for anyone who was curious about selling to ChannelFireball for their buylist... I sent in around 100 cards on their buylist. I was worried about their Nazi-ish grading procedures and knocking NM cards to SP.

15/96 cards were marked down from NM to SP. 0 cards were marked down to MP/HP/Damaged. Out of those 15 cards, only a Cursecatcher and Temple Garden (RTR) were worth more than $5. All of my $25+ cards retained their NM rating.

My buylist was worth $579.50 on submission, and has been graded down to $571.50. I really don't think they'd jew over your list. Just be honest to yourself when you send stuff in.

Let me just tell you right fucking now, I ran a budget sneak and show list, and when I say budget I mean vents instead of volcanics. It was bad. 2 life is a big fucking deal man, 4 life is pretty much a loss. When I got my first volcanic, the aggro matchups got good. Then I got another and now I just straight up win. There is no budget legacy, just decks that lose.

How do I tell if a foil card I purchased was fake?

I bought a 10th edition wrath of god foil and literally the whole card is foil and blindingly shiny..I haven't seen this on any other card.

Should I be concerned?
>>
>>46083440
Fake foils look obviously fake. If the rest of the card doesn't look fake in any way, it's real.
>>
>>46083440
Foils are incredibly hard to fake, and don't necessarily follow the tests for non-foils (light test in particular).

If it's fake, it will be obviously so.

Do the microwave test. If it does this, it's legit.

Does Lili see play in any good Legacy decks?
>>
>>46083834
As I've said, it seems pretty clear that they're not looking to ban the deck altogether. Banning one of the two lands is something I feel like Wizards may want to avoid, so that leaves noteworthy lines of play for ban targets.

Of those the most notorious is probably SSG into T1 Chalice, and Mimic as a card has gained some notoriety for being a strong T1 play and its interaction in multiples with Eye of Ugin. I'm not saying I LIKE any of those bans, but that if they don't take one of the lands those three cards are likely at the top of the list of things they'll try getting rid of to nerf the deck.

Yeah I've sold once to them and had a pleasant experience.
They give you 30% more for your cards if you choose store credit.
So for Liliana of the Veil they give you $75, and the 30% brings it to $98 of the $120 they will sell it for. Not bad in my opinion as my LGS gives only 60% of the full value and not a penny more ($72 for the Liliana example).

Every potentially playable card 'limits design space' and spirit guide doesn't do so more than most interesting cards.
>and enable a lot of degenerate things that forces you to watch your opponent durdle playing solitaire
Sounds like if you're concerned about uninteractive durdling banning blood moon would be the actually sensible option (although still debatable)
>until he goes off on turn 3 because he had his perfect hand.
People with perfect hands are going to win weather they win turn 3 or turn 7, do you judge fun by the amount of turns you played?
Even if you just hate combo decks that much it is still incredibly stupid to ban the fast mana cards rather than the actual enablers, pauper has systematically killed every combo deck without killing every piece of fast mana, and it has less uninteractive bullshit decks to show for it.
>>
>>46086185
So you're recommending to ban things like Ad Nauseam, Through the Breach when the real problem is the fact that they go off on turn 3 and if you are on the draw and/or didn't have a discard spell or your hate card you're fucked ?

Meanwhile if it happens 2 or 3 turns later (ie. Without SSG) you are more likely to draw into what you need to disrupt or apply enough pressure.

It limits design space because they probably can't print aggressively costed combo enabler because of the fact that SSG fasten this combo by a turn.

Blood moon is a card that should go too. But it's the only way to punish people for greedy manabase. I'm on the fence about this card, I want it to go, but at the same time, I want people to be punished for running fetches/shocklands without having any basics.

>So you're recommending to ban things like Ad Nauseam, Through the Breach when the real problem is the fact that they go off on turn 3 and if you are on the draw and/or didn't have a discard spell or your hate card you're fucked ?
Please think about what you are saying for a bit before you say it.
The real problem isn't the speed of these decks, the real problem is the uninteractivity of the metagame.
Banning SSG only helps the metagame become more 'interactive' by weakening combo decks, that is all it could possibly do, the combo decks that played SSG won't become significantly more interactive just because they they'll get slowed down by half a turn or so, and any interaction that they will gain will be offset by the fact that other decks will play less interaction against combo decks (as there become less of them).
>Meanwhile if it happens 2 or 3 turns later (ie. Without SSG) you are more likely to draw into what you need to disrupt or apply enough pressure.
First off, it won't come 2-3 turns later because they have 1 less mana through their entire game, it will delay them by 0-1 turns (except for AD naus which will just die). Second, and more importantly, THE GAME YOU DESCRIBED ISN'T MORE INTERESTING THAN A TURN 3 KILL. You aren't actually making the format more fun in the scenario that combo decks are still just as viable, you are just shifting who wins (this is of course blatantly paradoxical in its own right).
>they probably can't print aggressively costed combo enabler because of the fact that SSG fasten this combo by a turn.
They never print those anyway, and who cares about those great combo enablers if they will never see play?
I am of the opinion that combo decks must be accepted to the point where they unambiguously kill any non-combo deck that does not pack hate for them, or combo decks need to be removed from modern all together.

>Chalice

For what purpose? Chalice isn't even a big offender and all the aggro/tribal decks either play Cavern or go too fast on the play that Chalice is just bad on the draw.

>SSG
Reasonable target but you would indirectly be hitting reasonable combo decks like Ad Nauseam that haven't done anything wrong.

>Mimic
Mimic is a good target for a ban since it stops the explosiveness of the deck from doing 12-20 on turn 2.

Nothing feels better than dropping chalice for 0 on the play against affinity, this is why God made it.

Kind of better off putting Chalice on 1 than 0 against Ad Nauseam. Yes you'll hit Lotus Bloom but they also have Pentad Prism to accelerate and putting Chalice on 1 will shut off Angel's Grace and all the cantrips thereby slowing the deck down immensely and having to facilitate a win through Phyrexian Unlife.

Brewing Modern Zombie with the new cards spoiled so far.

Pic related.

Notes from testing:

Relentless Dead is very underwhelming and doesn't provide any immediate board impact. I haven't been able to use any of his abilities nor have I found the urge to.

Diregraf Ghoul is an MVP. He hits the board and takes over immediately. He's good at any point of the game and has to be dealt with right away or things get out of hand. Late game? 2B for a 6/6+ easily. Early game? Shits out a ton of 2/2 tokens. His interactions with Gravecrawler and Lotleth Troll are amazing.

Example:
Discard Gravecrawler(s) to Lotleth Troll
Cast/Vial/CoCo in Diregraf Ghoul with X counters
Cast Gravecrawler(s)/Zombies from hand and drop X 2/2 tokens

This is a very early version of the deck and I'm working things out to get it more explosive since this is Modern after all. Here are some of the things I've been thinking about:

Is 3 colors too much vs BW / BG.
White gives us: Path / Suller / Sideboard
Green gives us: Lotleth Troll / Abrupt Decay / Collected Company

Vial vs CoCo?
I've only tested Vial, but with how many 1cmc spells that are already in the deck and everything being 3cmc or lower, CoCo is looking more appealing. It's also a MUCH better topdeck and multiples are fine.
Vial let's us keep mana up for Path/Abrupt/Regen and flash shinangins. Makes getting around mana restrictions easier.

Would a set of lords be better than the current options? As I said, this is a very early version and needs to be tested more with other cards.

Any card suggestions? It's a lot of fun to play right now.
>>
>>46092273

Why don't you add blue so you can vial in/relentless dead reanimate a Skaab Goliath?
>>
>>46092267

She did it on purpose. She could have ended the game many turns earlier, she just kept it going for as long as possible just to fuck with the bimbo.
>>
So what would be a decent and cheap deck to build right now? I've been thinking of either building Merfolk or a janky Kiln Fiend burn deck.
>>
I think the new blood scrivener might be playable in MBC, am I an idiot for trying to eek value out of +1ing Lili with her? I run too many big CMC cards to get away with Bob
>>
>>46092527
Merfolk sounds fine.
>>
>>46092558
What kind of Merfolk though? Mono U, maybe splash some white or some black?
>>
>>46092572
Never heard of any merfolk deck that isn't monoU
>>
>>46092593
Well, okay. I guess I'll do that then.
>>
>>46092572

Merfolk is always mono-blue. Wanderwine hub is just there because it doesn't get hit by island hate.
>>
>>46092572
I like white splash, but that's just me.

Black splash is not good, period.

there are faster 2 card combos, like adnauseam.
>>
>>46092917
>>46092787
But I thought we were in a fun deck thread. Besides the lifegain actually could be pointed at yourself in the early game to put aggro decks out of reach.
>>
>>46092964
>6 mama early game
wew lad what sort of spicy causal environment do you come from?
>>
>>46092982
You would play other lifegain cards and things like Condemn / Devouring Flesh could work with it as well. Maybe Rest for the Weary. Put in an Idyllic Tutor in there somewhere.
You could get out of reach in the early game.
You could kill him with you other "burn spells"

I haven't made this work because I'm not a good brewer but someone could
>>
>>46092982

Actually to be fair, 6 mana is possible by turn 3 or turn 4. Easiest way usually involves a Pentad Prism or a Lotus Bloom coming off suspend.
>>
>>46092505
Unfortunately you still have to pay the CMC for the zombie you return to the battlefield.

You have to give us a concept familia. Like a land has madness and it has a mana cost to pay for madness?

It would have to act like a weird mix of Splice and Madness with a solid ETB effect, like

I suppose it's feasible anon.

A playset of Beacon of Immortality and a playset of pic related and you've got 8 win conditions.

Add in premium removal like Path and something to filter through your enchantments and you're onto a winner.
>>
>>46096126
Yeah, sounds like a modern all-star, 12 cards that are completely dead in your hand and require you to stay alive against burn and eldrazi beatdown for 7-8 turns.

Not to mention sanguine bond / exquisite blood not actually winning you the game. You need to ALSO deal damage / gain life.
