What SOI card is everyone excited about, in a Modern context?
Modern is solved, SOI brings nothing new to the table, the format has become worse than standard, there is no saving it, move on.
>>46170159
Oh shut the fuck up already.
Personally trying really hard to make Traverse work. Gifts Ungiven decks sound awesome for it, at least.
>>46170159
>>46170159
Isn't this true though?
Play Tron, Affinity, Infect, Eldrazi or go home.
well modern general tonight during a casual match a mono-u tron deck shut me down harder than I've ever been shut down before

Sometimes the Double Entomb plan isn't the best thing to do in a game. Gifts will sometimes grab 4 cards like [Snapcaster, Witness, Souls, Gifts] and an extra piece like Traverse might come in handy.

The Modern format is already dead; the Eternal format will soon rise.
When the year is dīngyǒu there shall be balance under metagames!
>>46171896
Only in budget builds.That's Poorfag for "No, you fucking retard"
>>46171922
>>46171896
Haakon says hi.
I'm finally retiring Owling Mine and instead building RW Skred because I'm a fucking idiot.
>>46171922
but its better suited for 8rack than bob. you will get your opponent to topdeck mode really quick, plus it triggers in both upkeeps at the cost of only one life. and it has madness so you dont lose card advantage when using liliana's +1 or any other discard effect that targets both players.
So I saw a monoblack life-loss deck in here several weeks ago using bump in the night, syphon life, and the black command as well as Night's whisper and a bunch of other things but I didn't save the image.
Does anyone have that particular decklist or is it lost to the ages?

>"You must do more than try," said Ugin. "With the hedron network damaged and the fail-safe removed, the titans are free to leave the plane. If Ulamog is wounded, you could drive him away from Zendikar entirely. Away from the hedron network, and our best chance of stopping him. You understand why that would be a disaster. But it may not seem that way to the people of Zendikar. You must dissuade your friends from attacking Ulamog directly—and, if necessary, you must stop them."
We "killed" them in Oath of the Gatewatch.
>>46172787
Do you have any way to describe this super secret format that's being brewed?
I live in a GP city with a ton of Modern players. The only gripes people have is that Wizards is releasing broken shit that gets banned the next release. Before that, they were only slightly concerned that there was a pseudo-rotating aspect to Modern when Splinter Niggers got banned.
>>46172931
I know what happened anon. What I meant is that everyone and their mother knows that Emrakul is in SOI for gods sake.

>>46172993
>Do you have any way to describe this super secret format that's being brewed?
By people who don't have shit taste wanting to play a potentially non-stagnant format?
People are already trying to make 'eternal' a thing, they're mostly just jokes (like my post) I certainly advocate for the removal of the modern format in any way I can, and it does show signs of strain, but I'd be surprised if a bunch of memesters on reddit killed modern (although that's basically how modern killed extended so who knows).
>>46173293
Extended died because people wanted an eternal format that wasn't Vintage Lite and when four years later rolled around and their decks weren't legal anymore they stopped playing.
>>46173183
I'm not much of an EDH guy, but I'm pretty sure Gifts is banned.
>>46173336
Just checked.
God dammit. Fun shit is always banned. Fucking S&T and FoF are legal, but Gifts? No way.
>>46173397
To be fair, gifts ungiven is much more unfair than fact or fiction in a format with a card pool that large, while Show and Tell has its obvious downsides. The EDH banlist does seem to be arbitrary at best.
>>46173013
Except Emrakul was only cut from BfZ after SoI's plot was finalized...
>>46173336
>>46173397
>Gifts Ungiven is banned
>literally 10+ green cards that do the same thing but worse are okay
>>46173462
Just wait until it's Marit Lage and not FSM.
Is it okay to use Swerve to change the target of a counterspell to Swerve itself? Since it targets Swerve, and it is already resolved, it would fizzle out, right? I think there's already a ruling on it but I just wanted to be sure.
>>46173667
>>46173681
>I think there's already a ruling on it
then go pull it up you double nigger
>>46173681
Literally on the Oracle rules listing:
If you cast Swerve on a spell that targets a spell on the stack (like Cancel does, for example), you can't change that spell's target to itself. You can, however, change that spell's target to Swerve. If you do, that spell will be countered when it tries to resolve because Swerve will have left the stack by then.
>>46172065
actually in my experience with 8rack decks, the opponent is rarely actually at 0 cards, they usually hover around 1-2 depending on how much they feel they need to play lands
thats why the card blows
what are some cheap decks that are predominately blue?
None of my decks run any blue so I feel like I should go out of my way to play a blue deck.
>>46173593
i literally have no idea what green cards you are talking about besides jarad's orders

>>46175011

>>46170494
Eh Jund is still pretty playable even after bans. Pretty versatile shit. Lately playing against alot of Mono Green stompy things and Tokens. Modern isn't as narrow as people let on.
>>46175031
Just type in "mtg proxy" and pick one you lazy nigger.
>>46170494
Even if Eye gets banned Tron still beats every fair deck with a single Wurmcoil, O-stone, Ugin and/or Karn, control with Emrakul (no need for eye to fetch since control has no clock) and Ulamog and folds to Infect and fast combo like always.
>>46175672
>everything is in Spanish and won't translate
>>46173667
Just wait until it's Wrexial and not Marit.

If eye gets banned I'm taking out Emrakul and putting in a total of 3 newlamogs

That'll probably work as well, I'd still keep Emrakul in side against UW(R) control though.

Unfortunately, yes. It qualifies as tier one. Deal with it.

For gifts you can just chose 2 and those go straight to your hand.

"In Magic, calling someone a troll is generous. It is perfectly adequate to call a retard a retard."
>>46178026
>you will never play on Kiora's mat
>>46178113
Ruling on Gatherer:
You can choose to find fewer than four cards if you want, but your opponent will still put two of those cards into your graveyard.
>>46178113
They go to the yard if you only pick 2, not your hand
aka the Elesh Norn + Unburial Rites combo

Literally a meme deck.
You'd be better off playing UW Sun Titan Control.
>>46178782
Infect is a turn faster on average. It's not great for affinity. They have to have a piece of interaction or they just lose.
>>46178850
So its Burn>Infect>Affinity then?
Because as far as I know Infect folds to Burn, and Burn vs Affinity is a coin toss pre-sideboard.
I miss it.

>>46178839
Having played UW emeria sun titan, I think I can say that it is not a control deck. It plays more like a midrage deck with extreme reach due to your creatures never ever dying unless exiled.
While an easy win against other midrange decks, I find the deck struggles against actual control decks, unless I happen to land an early Geist that they can't interact with.
http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/uw-emeria-titan-wgifts-ungiven/
>>46178823
i mean, 10-20 euro. I'm not a poorfag. But I don't want to waste more in such a shitty crazy-ass budget deck
>>46179077
as what, infect?
Because I tried the matchup from both sides and just found myself folding to burn very easily due to all the removal.
>>46178924
I just don't get why there was so much butthurt over this deck. It's not like it went off every game
>>46179270
Well I guess you could say that Zombie Hunt is a crazy-ass deck that works once every 100 times.
Not much that I could think of aside from that. Maybe super budget mono g infect?

So whats the verdict on this for a Burn deck?
Why/Why Not?
>>46180214
Burn wins with its cheap creatures followed by reach.
I think Nacatl is a good fit now. I will admit I had my doubts before, but what's hard to beat about Burn is its RDW approach.
>>46180214
theyre so affordable you should just buy them and try them out yourself
>>46179490
>46179490
the most interactive probably lantern control. Not sure if you consider that fun though.
>>46179331
OH, i mean as an affinity player. I totally forgot to add that.
>>46180236
But burn wants creatures that are (almost) guaranteed damage, or creatures that give reach
>>46178850
>>46178882
You guys are bad
Affinity beats both these decks easily
>>46178924
God this deck was so fucking fun
Fuck the haters
>>46180603
>Bad for somehow beating Affinity consistently
>>46180236
>>46180492
This is what I'm worried about Nacatl, because while its great damage early on it:
1. Forces you to fetch out Stomping Ground first regardless of what your hand is
2. Dead on the draw post-turn 1
I know that its great in a Naya Zoo build, but I often found that in a Burn deck it tends to be pretty hit or miss.
Then again I always see the pros running it so what do I know.
Sin plodder is going to save modern.
>>46179360
Well Wizards thought that it was too consistent:

>>46180868
>Blood Moon coming down before T2
>>46180603
Oh i guess you're a better affinity player than someone like Frank Karsten. Most affinity players agree that infect is an unfavorable matchup.
You know, I got to thinking, Starfield of Nyx is kinda like Emeria only without the 7 Plains requirement, so I've been tooling around with builds. I'm actually really surprised how well Kruphix's insight can reload my hand consistently with 3 enchantments with this current build. With the Green Enchantment Ramp I usually get Starfield out by turn 3.
G/W Starfield (Modern)
Nonlands (38 of 38)
Nyx-Fleece Ram x 4
Eidolon of Blossoms x 3
Eidolon of Rhetoric x 2
Yavimaya Enchantress x 2
Aegis of the Gods x 1
Archetype of Endurance x 1
Condemn x 4
Kruphix’s Insight x 3
Font of Fertility x 4
Utopia Sprawl x 4
Starfield of Nyx x 4
Oblivion Ring x 2
Banishing Light x 2
Faith’s Fetters x 2
Lands (22)
Plains x 5
Forest x 17
>>46180868
That's why it was a stupid deck
Either it was degenerate or it did absolutely nothing
Decks like that are not healthy
>>46181137
How does it fair against something like Tron or boardwipes in general?
>>46181401
I haven't had a chance to play against any Tron decks unfortunately. Everyone has gone hyper-aggressive-agro with their decks (hence the Fleeces and Condems). I was hoping Kruphix's Insight and Multiple Starfields (a Starfield can bring back a killed Starfield, after all) would offset the potential weaknesses to a boardwipe, but I haven't gotten to test against it.
So I got a couple new packets of sleeves from Japan and I'm noticing a huge difference between packets.
The top picture has 100 cards, 50 from one packet, and 50 from another. The bottom has them alternating every 10 sleeves.
This is going to be an issue with Judges, isn't it?
>>46181675
Let's see the sleeves themselves anon
>>46181675
As a level 1 judge, looking at your sleeves, I wouldn't let you mix those sleeves at a competitive event. You can clearly see the difference on that picture.
I would file a complaint to your sleeve supplier.
>>46181755
>level 1 judge
Lmao what a faggot
>>46181708
They're meant more to be fun than anything serious.
>>46181708
I thought so. I got them to use at FNM and prereleases as a funny way to break the ice.
Also, I don't think I can contact the supplier because I don't speak moonrunes.
>>46181840
You won't be calling me a faggot when I get my sick judge promos and you don't.
>>46181884
Try in english first then google translate senpai.
>>46180214
Is Nacatl worth it with no shock land?
>>46182656
hell no,Nacatl is only worth it when you can get its stats for a turn 2 swing. Waiting Turn 3 to swing for a 3/3 is not worth it. Swinging a 3/3 on turn 2 is acceptable.
>>46181889
Too bad lv1 don't get a ton of the good ones, like FoW.
How do people feel about this set's dual color lands?
>>46183035
not recommended for modern at all
Useless as top decks compared to old checklands, awkward in early hands cause they dont interact with fetchs or manlands. Fine for standard though
>>46177525
Bargain would be way, way better in EDH.
What deck plays the murderous redcap/kitchen finks combos?
and what is nayas sideboard against it? Rest in piece?
>>46184503
Chord/CoCo decks play various creature combos. That's one of them. Some people also do Kiki + Resto or Angel of Thune + spike feeder
Removal seems like a better catch all.
>>46184503
Melira company is the name, but the combo can use Archangel of Thune, Melira or Anafenza (DTK one).
Rest in Peace and Pithing Needle are the best. Grafdigger's Cage stops CoCo and Chord, but I'm not sure if it makes Finks not be able to come back from the grave.
>>46184503
>What deck plays the murderous redcap/kitchen finks combos?
Abzan Company / Melira Company / Melira Chord
>what is nayas sideboard against it? Rest in piece?
If we are talking about Naya company / zoo
I usually see scooze but RIP could work, maybe try Tormod or Relic? But Naya decks I see try to beat the shit out of the other guy before the combo can do off
>>46184652
Cage stops persist.
Is there any way to make this fucker playable in Modern?
>>46185109
Simic flip using him, Stratus Dancer, Obscuring Aether, and the card that says something like "Whenever you flip a card faceup, draw a card"
Should I get rid of my GR tron deck and get scapeshift instead?
>>46185109
It may be a while until they do morph again. It's definitely a popular enough mechanic to bring back again, but it needs a good explanation in the story for why it's happening.
>>46185275
I am confused by your post.
>>46185403
They'd have to reprint it in a modern legal set to be a modern legal card. Morph is not a mechanic that turns up that often, so it's unlikely to be reprinted soon.
>>46185480
You sound like someone with a mental handicap
>>46185480
Willbender is already Modern-legal.
>>46185480
>They'd have to reprint it in a modern legal set to be a modern legal card.
What is timeshifted
>Morph is not a mechanic that turns up that often, so it's unlikely to be reprinted soon.
Dragons and Khans had plenty
>>46185109
He MIGHT be playable if Jund/Abzan were much bigger than they are, purely because Redirecting someone's Abrupt Decay back onto their Liliana or Goyf while leaving a 1/2 body behind is mad value.
What do you guys think of this little dude?
>>46186191
It's like Vexing Devil but shit.
>>46186191

>>46186248
It's red and it does damage, is Goblin Sharpshooter also like Vexing Devil dumbass?
>>46186248
But Anon, Vexing Devil was already shit.
>>46186435
It gives your opponent a choice they can use to gain the upper hand because hey, it's just a 3/2 for 3 without haste anyway. Like who gives a fuck? Oh wait this is standard where this card is broken levels of fast. Games are meant to end on turn 15 not turn 7! #BANRED
>>46186504
That's not the ability, just the cost of the ability. They aren't really comparable since they do two very different things at different costs.
I do agree that it's probably a garbo card though.
>>46186191
some kind of deck with through the breach and emrakul
Is playing budget in modern impossible now? I was just gonna run BW sisters and grind dailies, but I guess there's no real spot for grinding cheap nowadays.
>>46177525
Have you ever played edh?
Necropotence is strong but the fact that you don't get the cards until end of turn is really limiting compared to yawg's bargain
Yawg's bargain is beyond broken that you can activate in response to removal and win the game at instant speed since the cards go straight to your hand
At least if you activate necropotence in response to removal, the rest of the table has some time to figure out a way to stop you from winning
>>46187533
I still think UR delver is an extremely underrated budget deck
The best part is you can very easily upgrade it and see immediate results.

You don't know what you're talking about. Everyone saw a titan eat a Remand and still just get played the same turn anyway
>inb4 Remand isn't a counter
>>46192008
Remand is a tax, if he had a Spell Snare or Swan Song he would have won.
Modern is the cuck format
>>46191459
Seems pretty solid. While I look at it and think it's going to get shocked anyway, I see it in every BW deck listing. Any recommendation as to what to take out for it?
>>46191258
If I ever get around to buying Ascendants I will.
>>46181154
You could describe half of the decks in modern like that
Gonna be traveling to the US. Would people there buy cards in Spanish?
>>46192524
that's like the worst language on earth..probably not
>>46192097
Neither of those hit creatures fuckface.
>>46192524
>Spanish
Maybe if you encounter some Mexicans, but beyond that, I personally would never buy a Spanish card unless I knew I could make money flipping it to ABU or something.
>>46192008
Its almost like banning the absurd shit that enables the degeneracy is better than just axing the deck.
Speaking of which, how is Ancient Stirrings still legal? Ponder, Dig, even fucking Preordain are too stronk selection for the format, but "G, dig 5, pick anything" is completely fine? Its practically half of a fucking Dig with half the cost and no Delve requirement.
Axing that pile of bullshit would soften Tron's consistency, and make Bloom no more explosive than Infect. Much better than just nuking the deck and saying "lol u can play some shit other card instead."
>>46192524
Where will you be, I might buy some depending on condition. I have a friend who's a spic, he'd be pretty excited and I can uptrade him.

lol im pretty sure he was cheating all the time at everything
My LGS is the store he worked at and when i played him in standard, he played jeskai ascendancy, and im certain he was drawing extra cards
other regulars there believe that he was always cheating somehow too, even before he got caught
luckily, it ruined his life and cost him his job
i hear he still plays on a hacked modo account
>>46180775
A three drop that gives no immediate value and dies to basically ever removal spell in the format. I love the design of the card, but there is no way in hell that it is making an impact on modern.

Couldn't tell you. I would assume MtG gets more expensive due to 1) the secondhand market being taken over by the Jews and 2) WotC's crappy reprint policies.

Both
Competitive REL is okay ,just know how to play. Expect buttmad autists.
A lot less niggers and arabs because it's more expensive to get into. Plus IDK what the fuck it is with YGO and niggers. Must be the animemes. However, more mexicans, same amount of stealing.
Depends. Check http://www.mtggoldfish.com/metagame/standard#paper
>>46194126
fuck off and make a general if you want to talk about your significantly more fun and interesting format. asshole
>>46193871
>>>Is Modern or Standard the style for competitive play?
If you like deck brewing, Standard will be more your style. The format can take a couple weeks to get solved, so you can play around with different ideas without being considered a memelover.
If you like competitively playing the game, Modern is for you. There are tons of decks you can build and play, but if they're sub-optimal you will get called out for it.
>>Do any of you play Magic competitively? If so, how is it?
Not the the right area for it. I attend the local PTQs but hell if I'm driving 14 hours for a GP.
>>I tried Yugioh physically. Lots of niggers, arabs, and stealing. Is Magic community better on average?
My area is 90% white and 10% asian, but can't speak for everywhere. People get scrubbed in trades but I haven't heard of any outright theft.
>>How expensive is Magic compared to Yugioh? Average price for a meta deck?
Competitively Magic is much more expensive, but Modern's powercreep (Eldrazi excluded) isn't anywhere near as bad as YGO's. You can build a deck and use it for quite a while, and lands/utility cards can be used in multiple shells.
I dropped YGO when Qli took over the format, and Eldrazi are basically that without the Extra Deck shenanigans.
>>46193871
>Yes
>Sort of, been trying to to practice more, used to be really good at yugioh til i quit, then got into magic, less than a year and I was already better than my friends who had been playing since whichever set had Show and Tell
>As far as i've seen. absolutely. When I played yugioh, had to always have my shit close and in a briefcase with a combination lock on it, no joke. With magic, I put my shit in an old Tennis bag and sometimes leave it lying around for hours in a LGS and never once have I got my stuff stolen.
>Depends on your playstyle and preferred format, it can be cheap, it can be expensive, and it can also be reasonable, granted u learn to buy singles that can be used in not just one area of the game.
>>46193871
>>Is Modern or Standard the style for competitive play?
These are the only two formats that matter.
>>Do any of you play Magic competitively? If so, how is it?
Not really. I do spend a lot on my deck but I don't plan to win any big tourneys. Just win at my LGS's.
>>I tried Yugioh physically. Lots of niggers, arabs, and stealing. Is Magic community better on average?
I found it to be better. It could be my location however but there aren't as much players compared to yugioh.
>>How expensive is Magic compared to Yugioh? Average price for a meta deck?
Yugioh has reprints all the time so MTG is fucking expensive. The power creep is also different. On one yugi set you can make a badass deck worth hundreds but then on the next set you can make a better badass deck worth the same while the previous deck's price falls.
In Modern the shit just keeps going up and up.
>>46193887

Also apparently someones taken Eldrazi to legacy, using not only the Eldrazi lands but actual ancient tombs and city of traitors combined with chalice of the void and u got some real fucking cancerous shit going on. It's a good thing legacy is legacy, so they cna probably handle that cancer.
>>46194126
What the fuck is your wincon? I can see the singleton Sigil of the Empty Throne, but you can end up unable to cast it because of Gaddock Teeg. Why are you running "Ephara, God in Dismember Range" in a list with no other blue permanents and hardly any creatures? This list is a clusterfuck.
>>46193348

>>46194306
I know literally nothing about legacy I've just watched a dozen matches and started piecing together a concept based on a couple decklists that are all several years old. And now I'm asking random people on the internet under the assumption they'll know more than me.
What white/green wincons would you recommend in a deck that aims to be drawing a lot and turtling most of the game to replace jank like Ephara?
>>46194194
>The bears are 1/1 individually.
Would not use.
im debating whether or not to cut my one of grim lavamancer in my naya burn deck in order to run a playset of lightning helix.
any opinions on this? i know GL gives a bit of reach in some drawn out matches but i've yet to draw him and be excited, id just much rather draw another burn spell
>>46193887
Anymore reddit cock stories? I'm laughing too hard
>>46194403
Go for it.
>>46194361
I know shit all about W/G Enchantments, but not running Teeg and 4+ CMC non-creatures spells in the same mainboard should be a bloody no-brainer.
Heliod costs less to cast, becomes a creature with less devotion, doesn't require blue, dodges Dismember (this is a format with Eldrazi, remember) and can use extra mana to shit tokens when you're durdling behind Solitary Confinement.
Why isn't there a wildfire deck in modern? Seems like the type of control deck we need is boardwipes, planeswalkers and LD.
>>46194444
Nice quads. Anyway, unrelated to card games the one I read a lot is about a college couple that had the bitch's virginity taken by another dude and the guy still ends up marrying the whore. She even rubbed it in apparently saying something to the guy about remember when a guy took her for the first time while in the room with him.

Getting back into Modern. Dusting off my Loam Pox list. What should I change for the metabesides my choice of deck?
Creatures:
4x Blodghast
1x Squee, Goblin Nabob
1x Golgari Brownscale
1x Vengeful Pharaoh
Spells:
4x Life from the Loam
4x Zombie Infestation
4x Smallpox
4x Faithless Looting
4x Lingering Souls
3x Go For the Throat
2x Abrupt Decay
1x Raven's Crime
1x Flame Jab
1x Darkblast
1x Murderous Cut
1x Terminate
Lands:
4x Bloodstained Mire
4x Verdant Catacombs
1x Wooded Foothills
1x Polluted Delta
2x Blood Crypt
2x Overgrown Tomb
1x Stomping Ground
1x Godless Shrine
2x Swamp
1x Forest
3x Ghost Quarter

SB
4x Ancient Grudge
3x Bojuka Bog
2x Ray of Revelation
2x Raven's Crime
2x Golgari Brownscale
1x Vengeful Pharaoh
1x Darkblast
My only initial thought would be to remove the Flame Jab for another Darkblast and cut one of the Bogs in the sideboard for something more relevant.
As far as SOI goes, I want to test Asylum Visitor
Is there an MTG beginner-friendly thread?
I just want to talk about noob shit like which color decks I like and what forest creatures look really cool. :3
>>46194403
On a side note, I have a big tournament coming up and I was wondering if i could get some advice on my sideboard? I'm expecting to see affinity, Elves, eldrazi, soul sisters, Abzan, Merfolk, 8rack, through the breach, goblins, delver and UW control
Should I add In pyroclasm for elves/affinity/goblins ? Is anger of the gods a better choice?
Considering adding the cracks to the sideboard in case I do end up playing against some life gain deck, not sure what I'd take out or if it's necessary considering the atarkas commands
Anyways, any opinions advice would be great
>>46194483
GB death cloud has sort of been a fringe deck forever and I think its pretty similar to the wildfire strategies of yore. I think the real problem is that decks trying to play the controlling role every game find there are just not enough generic answers to all the linear strategies, so you're just going to basically pick which decks run you over and which you can fight.
>>46194640
I also have stony silences I can put in but I don't know how devasting it is to affinity because I haven't really had the match up too often
I really have no clue what to take out
>>46194640
I would use Anger of the Gods since it can also take down soul sisters and merfolk. Skull Crack is also good in case you face an Auriok Champion. If something with protection defends against you Skull Crack can kill it indirectly if your creature ties or wins the fight.
