This
>>46235605
I am so fucking tired of playing Craw Wurms and 4CMC 4/3s and 5CMC 3/3 Flying creatures in Limited.
Just so fucking tired. They just spoiled a 2/2 Vanilla Werewolf that Transforms into a 4/4 Vanilla Werewolf. And I just don't care about figuring out if it's good in Limited.
I thought I would never get bored of Limited, but all we're fucking doing is using the same removal, same creatures, and same crap draw cards each set. Everyone said original Innistrad was good, and yes, it was, but we were ultimately just hitting each other with Vanilla creatures the whole fucking time.
>>46235954
>time spiral draft will never happen again in your lifetime
>>46236205
You would think Wizards would use MM/EM as a high powered drafting environment full of cheap but fun shit. Like Conspiracy does for multiplayer.
But no, we get to pay $40 to draft a bunch of garbage, but ayyy it's garbage from the past.

throw it in the trash desu family
>>46236609
Its a fucking budget deck that i will try to turn into a abzan rally and shit, of course is trash im just trying to make it a little bit less trashtrash.
>>46236695
like it was said, a $600 deck that wins is better value than a budget deck that gets rekt every game
>>46236574
>>>/standard general/
>>46236732
>>46236758
I managed to win a handful of games on cockatrice so im ok with it for a while.
I think the deck needs a more reliable draw source that isnt dark confidant and maybe a more effective way to pull off infinite combo
>>46236732
But a 600 dollar deck he can't play because he can't afford it has no value to him.
On topic, as a budget option, maybe consider proclaimation of rebirth? I don't know enought about the archetype to give you good advice.
r8 my new LGS
>>46236852

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GTcyzCFj0E
Will Snapcaster be reprinted in EMA?
>>46236862
Thanks for the feedback.
This card isnt that useful on my deck cause 1drops cant combo with bloodartist and cutthroat effects.
>>46236935
Yeah maybe I will need to go for something like that, thing is i really dont have the money for voices and fetches.
I'm trying to settle a debate here. My friend runs Infect, and he INSISTS that Inkmoth nexus is terrible in the deck. Says the lack of tapping for colors screws him over too much, and that it's better to mulligan down to one of your other infect creatures or at least heirarch.
Is he living in magical christmas land? What happens when he goes t1 elf - then it eats a bolt? I thought the whole point of running Inkmoth nexus was that you don't ever use it as a mana source, but rather as a blighted agent. I mean you can't always have Vines/ blessing in hand right? Am I missing something?
>>46237154
Why are you building a budget version of a shit deck
>>46237161
he's a dumbass
>>46236574
Why not just play pauper? Its cheaper and more fun. You'll get your shit stomped with jank crap like that. Competitive formats aren't the place for new players to learn the fundementals of deckbuilding.
>>46237161
if he's running fetches and shocks he shouldn't be having that problem
>>46237195
I can see his logic that you can't cast a t1 Glistener Elf or a heirarch off it, but why not use it to set up and cast a t2 blighted agent and use the inkmoth in case it eats removal? What if you don't have apostles blessing and they (gasp) have a blocker?
>>46236874
dank/10
>>46237193
I wish I could but theres no pauper tournaments where i live and people rarely play it, unfortunately.
I am competing with ppl that dont pay that much for decks so i just want a deck to play with and win a match or 2 at FNM.
>>46237414
Talk to your LGS employees. Ask around, see if there's interest. Talk about how awesome Affinity or Goblins are in pauper. That's how pauper got started at my LGS. Somebody literally asked the owner to start running pauper. Usually get at least 8 people.
If you're ultra poorfag and still want to play modern, MonoG stompy is the best deck.

Welcome to Modern General, if you cant gargle the cum of 7 different fine gentlemen at once while shitting in your fedora go back to casual formats
>>46237624
why would we tell and enable someone to play a shitty deck, modern is a competitive format
>>46237604
Why not play both? the format is cheap is a shit.
>>46237669dude I play like 7 pauper decksexcept affinity, fuck affinity
>>46237624
>Welcome to Modern General, if you can't win on turn 4 go back to casual formats
FTFY. It's just honesty senpai
>>46237739
What about control anon?
>>46237808
Control wins with setup on turn 4, they just drag it out and bleed you dry for their amusement :^)
>>46237879
True enough.
>>46237414
From the other thread that got axed harder than Bloom
>But you aren't wasting anything. If anything, the cards you buy that see T1/T2 play are going to hold value or appreciate relatively over the time you build.
>If you spend a "budget" amount on a shit deck, you'll just be left in the "Im here to have fun" bracket with a pike of firewood that could have been fetchlands or staples.
>>46238088
This, desu. A cheap budget deck is a number of T1/T2 staples, or a set of fetches. I just look at my purchases in terms of relative play.
How many standard formats did my deck cost? Probably 2-3. How many drafts did my deck cost? Probably a year's worth.
It's a bigger up-front but cheaper long-term. As long as you're not stupid and playing the best meme decks (like Amulet or Eldrazi, which were obvious bans) you'll end up doing alright. Plus, there's nothing like dunking on some kid's janky homebrew and then crying because he can't afford cards.
>>46238232
>playing the best meme decks like Amulet
Bloom was like a $350 deck, even if a meme gets axed, it isn't like your $1,800+ UR/RUG Twin deck got blown out.
>Plus, there's nothing like dunking on some kid's janky homebrew and then crying because he can't afford cards.
This fampai. Playing Junk vs some kind of Leyline of Vitality ramp deck. Postboard he didnt even get to play a threat, despite me holding up multiple Paths and Decays.
>>46237879
So that's why modern is overrun by control decks, nice!
>>46236574
you need green in that deck for it to be better. you need a better mana base, so its going to be expensive. if you wanna play b/w in modern play tokens. its cheap as fuck and its way better than what you have over there.

>>46236205
>>46236495
Kill me now. Put me out of my misery.
are there any decks that play this bad boy?
>>46238993
it's a sideboard card in decks that have green. Jund, Junk, RG Tron, whatever
>>46238993
I play it in Gifts. Because it's the best lifegain card out there. Sure, some people play Obstinate Baloth for the free-Liliana value and is Bolt proof, but I like that this fucker drops a 3/3. And the 5 life feels a bit better than 4 life.
I know you are wondering about what decks play a lot of copies of Thragtusk but the reality is that Gifts is the only one that has even a remote chance of playing it because the deck itself sometimes doesn't even play Green. The Jund-clones don't seem to be using it at all. You'd rather just Fulminator them to death and just forget the race.
Legitimately tapping 5 lands for a creature just isn't what any deck in Modern wants to be doing.
>>46238993
Sometimes one or two get played in the kikijiki/restoration angel deck
>>46239098
>I know you are wondering about what decks play a lot of copies of Thragtusk
exactly what I was wondering. I know some decks run a few copies here and there but Id like to see it as a centerpiece of a deck but I guess that impossible because bolt is a thing.
I wish ramp was a thing in modern so good big creatures that are not Emrakul or Griselbrand could see play.
>>46239207
Ramp was a thing. Sadly they banned it along with Splinter Twin.
>>46234574
I'm playing Elves. I managed to enjoy myself despite this harsh colorless winter, but I sure fucking dread the return of Lightning Bolt summer.

DAILY REMINDER THAT MODERN HAS BEEN SOLVED, PLAY 1 OF 5 TOP TIER DECKS OR LEEEEEEEEEAAAAAVVVVEEE RREEEEEEEEEE
We seriously have to discuss dredge decks right now. Gitrog Monster can be a wincon by itself. It literally dredges your whole deck and there must me something disgustingly good to be done here.
What approach should we take? Aggro dredgevine style with a surprise wincon, or something more like a combo deck of some sort?
>>46239911
Wizards didn't let anything happen long enough to make a decision on Dig, seriously. Control decks finally had a semi decent reason to start playing control, and it pushed some new archetypes. Dig/Treasure time was seriously the best time in modern. Everyone had access to new toys and in general, it was a lot of fun seeing how the format was evolving.
But no. They preferred staying in the boring zone and forcing subpar decks for a reason, where there was absolutly no reason to.
>>46240068
Cruise was fucking broken and you know it
>>46240068

>>46240090
>>46240115
As long as Ancient Stirrings is legal, Dig being banned is a straight up joke.
>>46239207
I play tooth n' nail, you won't get much more rampy then that. And you can put any large creature in there depending on the meta. I run hornet queen and thraggy in the side as a 2of
>>46240043
Zombie Loam dredge is fine as it is. It has new tools in SoI like Prized Amalgam, vampire Bitterblossom and that 1cc enchantment that kills target creature in exchange for 1 life, 1 black and 1 cars on top of your library.
Gitgud Pepe is enticing bug 5cc is too steep of a price for the deck. With 5 mana you could be flashbacking Faithless looting, dredge 10 cards off your library and casting Conflagrats for 9+ while enabling hasty Bloodghasts
>>46237161
>Am I missing something?
No. He's a moron. Inkmoth is a fundamental piece of the deck.
>>46236574
This is garbage without green. Abzan Ascendancy, Saffi Eriksdotter, Voice. And seriously only 3 Artists?
>>46238993
Death Cloud
>>46240471
Zulaport Cutthroat > Blood Artist
the "when opponents creatures dies" is irrelevant since there i no kill spells (except against abzan coco where 2 artists prevent infinite life combo)
andthe fact that zulaport is loss of life and doesn't target gets around leyline of sanctity and other shenanigans like this.
But yeah this list is garbage.
>>46240158
>gets 2 cards for 2 mana
>gets 1 card for 1 mana
Please, you're being embarrassingly stupid.
Quick question:
I have Thespian Stage and my opp. wants to destroy it with Tec. Edge.
When he activates Tec. Edges ability, he doesn't have to declare the target, until it's resolved, right? If I want to save the stage, which time do I have to activate the ability and copy a basic land on the field?
>>46236495
That's so depressing. I wasn't playing during TS but man do I wish I was, it's a great set in general
>>46241154
That's some basic stack knowledge, anon. The ability of destroying Thespian Stage is put on the stack, to which you can respond, for example using your Thespian Stage for something.
That's a bit worrying because this is really important to understand. Would reread stack priorities and such if I was you.
>>46241154
>Thespian's Stage in Modern
What are you doing?
>>46238993
scapeshift has 1 (maybe) on mainboard and a couple offboard, as an alternate plan in case of hate or burn
>>46241341
Haven't played for a long time and a buddy convinced me to play with him today.
I still don't get, whether he has to declare to destroy stage and I can respond with stage or do I have to respond with stage before he announces target?
>>46241342
Modern General is the most active MtG thread on /tg/. I'll get the quickest answer asking here.
>>46241382
Using an ability that target involves chosing a target for it... Same for casting spells that target...
As it as always been the case.
>>46241380
We seriously prefer Baloths because it is excellent against any grindy decks like Jund. Our aim is to survive, so Baloth is cheaper and can swing tempo in our favor against Jund.
>>46237808
Tron wins after resolving Ugin, O-Stone or Ulamog, the game just takes a bit to close.
Short rules question.
If a transformed dfc gets returned to my hand, I can't cast it again, right? Since it has no manacost and all that. Or do I pick up the front face in that case?
>>46236874
do they sell chainsaws?
>>46241980
are you serious?
>>46242052
Yes I am.
And can you supply any actual information?
>>46242067
Go read the fucking rules. If you still don't understand how retarded your question is, this game isn't for you.
>>46242089
I've played the game for a few years on and off.
I have read the rules now and then when necessary.
I just thought people where helpfull here and did not want to go searching in the rules since I also have other stuff to do, then again I tend to forget how elitist many m/tg/ players here are.
So thanks for reminding me.
You people sure like to cry about muh cashualisation but don't actually help new or less experienced players into the game.
>>46242131
If you had bothered to google "MTG Transform" you would have found, on the very first page, a wiki article including the rules and rulings for cards with Transform.
The pixilated bit is the answer to your easily researchable question. I'm not your mother.
>>46236493
>Daybreak coronet was in a draft set with next to zero support
>>46242198
>I'm not your mother.
Yeah, thank god for that.
Also the page doesn't tell me anything new. Thanks.
I'll just guess that when transformed the back face of the card is treated like any other card and a return effect will return that face of the card and hope it is right.
Which is how I thought it works before coming here.
I just wanted to be sure.
Do you think wizards would ever consider printing a modern masters set that contains currently non-modern legal cards for the purpose of bringing them into modern?

Great "Draft Set", Mark. Of course Daybreak Coronet should only be playable in a red deck!
>>46242295
When it comes to making a draft set they obviously know how to do it , vintage masters was a very fun draft format , at least i felt it was, nice archetypes , solid cards , not many trash rares
>>46242267
No. If they wanted to introduce new cards to Modern outside of blocks, they would have done so with Conspiracy.
>>46234574
rip modern
>>46242357
I'm convinced MTGO devs and the people who put together print sets are wholly unrelated. Online-only sets are based.
>>46242292
I'm assuming the side whichever is up gets returned but I am just not 100% sure about that. I don't want to play with guessed rulings and can't find a it mentioned in section 711, at least not clearly.
>>46236495
i have a solution,all the old players just need to stop playing and BOOOOM they do it because they will do everything for money,Hasbro's biitchees
>>46242387
With the exception of tempest remastered , i never want to see a capsize again
>>46240908
Why on earth is blood artist worth so much if zulaport is much better?
>>46242267
No. It sounds like an okay idea, but I can't see WotC change their policy of how cards enter Modern.
>>46237161
Inkmoth may not give you your colors, but hes fucking retarded if he thinks its bad for infect.
Tell him to switch to affinity if he wants to stop bitching about colors.
>>46242533
Because Blood Artist is from an older set and there weren't any alternatives until Zularport came around. Besides the decks who wanted to play it before Zulaport was a thing still want to play it now.
>>46242401
Did you actually read section 711, or did you just glance over it hoping that what you were looking for would pop up?
711.4a.
>>46242686
Oh damn. I read 711 twice but apparently not as concentrated as I thought.
Thank you very much.
This HAS to be playable in modern
>>46243550
Standard babbies please leave
>>46243550
This card has the same problem as anthems: they suck unless you have creatures. Lategame, when you are on topdeck mode, this will stink.
>>46243550
It'll make a fun casual deck with intruder alarm, but no. It's not particularly good. You would need a repeatable effect that generates more untaps than it costs mana.
>>46243815
Also, it doesn't stack like anthems. Having one of these on the field makes the others dead draws.
Modern playable familia?
>>46244376
>>46244376
Not while affinity and eldrazi dominate
Now that the full set is spoiled, what are the cards you think will make an impact? Heck just cards you like.
I sincerely want werewolves to be a thing. Pretty strong but it still feels pretty eh unless you put it in a CoCo shell like all tribal decks in Modern
>>46244755
>>46244755
I expect this to put in work, both in Grixis (where Bob costs too much life) and Rack (where it can trigger on each player's turn).
Anyone here playing Abzan Company with the Melira combo?
What do you think about Tidehollow Sculler in the deck?
>>46243550
its unplayable in decks that want dorks, modern doesnt care about durdly cards, even if it only durdles one turn.
>>46244376
>Enchant their guy t1
>t2 bolt
when eldrazi get banned this card will be great.
>>46236205
>>46235954
They're doing a Conspiracy 2. And there also was Conspiracy 1.
>>46244755
Tbqh this set has got me all giddy. Last time I felt this legitimately excited was Time Spiral. Even if some of the cards aren't all that modern playable, they really outdid themselves with the DFCs and the amount of interesting uncommons and flavornfor the set.
Common goyf coming through
>>46244988
I'm going to try it tonight.
Why don't you test Sculler and find out for yourself if it's worthwhile?
>>46245230
Well I am going to try it out, but it doesn't hurt to hear other people's opinions.
>>46245270
Well, there's so much aggro in my meta, it doesn't sound too exciting.
>>46245203
It it were a 0/5 that got +4/+0 (so it could at least match Goyf at exactly four types) it would be a decent enough replacement for poorfags. As-is it's complete shit.
>>46237161
So beating in with Inkmoth is obviously not your plan A given it "costs 2 mana" just to get 1 damage in with it and it gives your opponent time to draw/tutor a Ghost Quarter, but as a manland it also dodges Pyroclasm and other sweepers. Infect with only 4 Elves and 4 Agents would be pretty shit.
>>46245321
I think Goyf is remarkably better too, but if you're on a tight budget, the fungus might be okay.
Goyf is almost always a 3/4 when you play him and a 4/5 when he can attack
do Grixis control lists still run Pia and Kiran or have they all switched to Kalitas?
>>46245554
Grixis is fucking dead, but Kalitas is better.
It's shit without Delirium, but does anyone else think this could be decent against combo?
>>46245789
just play infinate oliteration
>>46245929
Infi Obli only hits creatures. Doesn't help against Ad Nauseum or Storm. Not-Lobotomy can also yank value cards like Coco and Chord forever.
how do you guys like my meme deck?
53 Shadowborn Apostle
4 Surgical Extraction
2 Shelldock Isle
1 Laboratory Maniac
the deck obviously isnt competitive but its fucking nifty at the very least
imgur.com/yI9vUIy
posted it to the modern subreddit yesterday and it actually is still there, so thats something.
>>46246203
What happens when you mull down to find Surgical Extraction?
You just do nothing for X turns until you can discard an Apostle?
>>46246362
you mull to 6, so you only wait one turn at best. if you have to mull past 6 you really aren't winning anyways. i mean you arent winning ANYWAYS, but if you have to mull to 5, you're hoping your opponent cant kill a goldfish by t7, and that's like impossible unless you're going against like enchantment control or something.

Quick rule question as a new player :
As I understand it, when Kitchen Finks dies it goes to the graveyard, then it triggers, checks if it has -1/-1 counter on it, if it doesn't it get back on the field.
Does this mean that I can exile it while it's on the graveyard with the persist trigger on the stack with something like Scavenging Ooze ?
Alternatively : does it mean that having a Grafdigger's Cage on the field negates Persist ?
>>46246861
correct on both accounts.
>>46247003

What do you think of Rotting Rats as budget Lili replacement in Loampox ?
It's cheaper, can be cast from the yard and eventually chump once. It's also a creature, which can be relevant if you are siding Gnaw to the Bones for Burn.

>Control seems like the only way to get highly interactive, nonlinear decks
Dredge and Kiki-Chord.
Also, Control decks like Esper/Grixis ARE linear. Counter/remove a bunch of stuff until your manlands get the job done. Sure they are interactive, but you can't say that they are nonlinear.
>>46247919

>>46248702
>Sure they are interactive, but you can't say that they are nonlinear.
You have no idea what you're talking about. All linear means is that you are more concerned about executing your own gameplan than disrupting your opponents. Burn is linear because all it cares about is counting to twenty in the first few turns of the game, none of its cards care about what the opponent does. Control decks are the definition of non-linear, stop making up definitions because the control player touched your pee-pee.
>>46249171
Nice response
Just because you have a hundred awful choices to possibly make doesn't make it non linear when you'll only choose the right one each time. Not hard to make these choices either
>>46249235
All modern decks are linear you pompous moron. Linear has nothing to do with the level of interaction with your opponent.
>>46249335
What's a nonlinear deck? Don't just say I'm wrong, give me a definition. I gave you mine.

A deck being non-linear means that it has multiple lines of play.
Most control decks don't. They have one win con and one way to get to it, period. Now stop being a passive aggressive bitch and try to learn about what you are talking about next time.
>>46249335
Says the guy which only argument is "it's boring as fuck"
>>46249362
Bad decks. You want to have a linear, focused game plan in a format this quick. If you have a bunch of different win cons and ways of getting there your deck is going to be heavily diluted
>>46249376
>passive aggressive
This doesn't mean what you think it means
>>46249301
Have you ever even played Kiki Chord? What's your list then? I feel like you're just mad at boohoogland or something
Could the Gitrog Monster be good in BGx? Seems like it could be a spicy curve topper
>>46249398
Most control decks in this format don't just go all in on manlands. Grixis alone has delve fatties, bolt snap bolt, kalitas, pia and kiran, batterskull etc. Usually it uses at least a few of those in combination to win. A grixis hand most definitely has multiple lines of play available to it. If your definition of nonlinear is "bad decks" then it's not a very good definition, we might as well not even argue about it. Its pointless.
>>46238716
You are probably right, even though its a unfinished deck.
Other than that, can I use any of the cards listed above in that b/w token deck, the lifegain ones and shit?
>>46249550
Beating face with different creatures is not multiple lines of play. It's still swinging with creatures
>>46249653
You're moving goalposts. You can't come up with a real definition of a nonlinear deck. It's pointless to argue with you if you don't even know what you're arguing over.
>>46249743
No, you're making the mistake thinking it's only you and I in this thread
>>46249548
gitrog monster is dredge tier jank
>>46249548
Pfft, no way. BGx curves out on 4. Why would you have a 5 drop when stuff like Pia and Kiran, Olivia, Huntmaster, Rhino, Kaalitas, etc exist?
>>46249862
Yeah it curves out at 4, but I would absolutely rather have this in the mirror than any of those cards you mentioned. Not only does it draw you 2 cards a turn at least, but it turns all your fetches, Lili discards sometimes, and tec edges/g quarters into draws. Not only that but it dodges every bit of removal outside of pulse and Path, and it's body beats every card they could play. I don't think you're seeing it's potential.
>>46250088
Maro pls go. Pls.
>>46250133
Wow great response, I noted you literally added nothing to the discussion.
>>46250088
It's 5 mana and doesn't win you the game on the spot. It's unplayable in the jund shell.
>>46250088
Look, it's a fine card, but I don't think it's as good in Modern as you think it is. Bob gives you cards at the rate that you should want and you should be pretty close to close out the game with goyf/4drops anyway. I'm not saying gitgud doesn't have its place, but I don't see it.
>>46250333
If you had the option of having any of the other 4 drops GBx played, or this card in the mirror, what would you choose?
Planning on abusing the FUCK out of my new land cards and the spikes I just discovered hidden in my trunk.

Gitrekt Monster enables Frog tribal edh that is all that matters
>>46250333
GBx wants to Grind, and for real this card seems like a beastly topdeck.

Tl,dr eldrazi decks are not AS BAD as people are saying, atleast for me.
Also my tron deck is outdated, what cards/combos work well in blue tron these days?
>>46250363
Pia and Kiran. Fliers are mirror breakers and the shock ability isn't irrelevant.
>>46250611
Look, maybe I'm wrong. This could be an all-star. I guess we'll find out in a few weeks.
>>46250295
Your asspain is also noted lmao
Are there no money cards in soi?
>>46250881
Planeswalkers, and that's not really money, only like 10 cards over 10 dollars right now and that's preorder lmao
>>46250685
I disagree with that to be honest, not that Lingering souls isn't great and helps Abzan beat Jund, but I disagree with the fact that you think Pia and Karen are good in the mirror, and would rather have that card straight up in the mirror. Also PnK don't see much play in Jund, so I don't even know where you pulled that one.

>>46247919
You still running the old Loam Pox list? Go with the Squeeflagerate one, it's faster, more consistent and is able to win combo-style with its Conflagrates. Best of all, you don't die to your own lands most of the time since getting double black 2nd turn while expecting turn 1 faithless looking isn't as important

Tbh I kind of want to try this in legacy delver. Maybe just as a SB, but seems like it could have some use.
These are some really really cute flipcards. Most of them might not see modern play, but damn are they really tight. Way better feel than the ones in OG Innistrad
>>46252460
Can infect run it?
>>46251950
anyone who preorders this for $20 has to be borderline retarded, it is a rare in popular standard set, it will never go above $10 even if it sees play in all formats
>>46251950
>>46252961
My local store is preselling for $13. Nobody is going to pay more than $15, and it'll fall to $6-8 a week after release.
>>46252647
>T1 glistener elf

>T3 buff elf with 4 spells, flip titi, return elf to hand because its not a horror, seems legit

If Insectile Aberration were a Horror this would be infinitely better.
Still combos pretty well with Snapcaster, though.
>>46250562
fucking finally
>>46250660
I don't think people really play blightsteel, but Ugin and maybe MAYBE new Kozilek are playable
If you are dropping wurmcoils and sundering titans you'll be fine
>>46252504
I really love all this flip into different card type stuff, like pic related
None of the cards may be any good but damn are they cool, so far this set is better than the last 4 sets combined

>>46253517
flip
>>46253517
Yeah, it's , sets them apart from creature>creature flips. The best part is even the creature>creature dfcs have great flavor and/or flavor texts.
My favorites are Harvest Hand, Autumnal Gloom, Skin Invasion, Startled Awake, Westvale Abbey and Accursed Witch. Really creative and interesting
>>46253640
the only disappointing thing about the DFCs are all these shitty vanilla werewolves
>>46253666
The werewolves are alright. Village Messenger, that hasty 3 drop that allows etb transforms, the old guy that punishes spells played on your turn etc. They're fairly solid gameplay wise, have really witty flavor texts and will possibly play a vital role in competitive play in Standard anyway. They'd probably just cram CoCo in the 75 for it to be playable in Modern like most tribal decks like Elves, Allies and Slivers for them to be remotely playable

>Draw 6 cards

If Wizards had the balls to unban Dread Return the frog could be the centrepiece of a legit Modern dredge deck.
>>46253724
anon why would you want to cast scapeshift without immediately ending the gameI do want to brew up some frog loam though
>>46253724
If you're casting shapeshift you might as well just murder them with valakut
Frog would be pretty sick with dread return though
>>46253757
But the thing is, if you're drawing 12 cards and starting a cycle of huge dredge bullshit, you probably ARE ending the game.
>>46253724
For 5 mana you can end the game in Loam dredge though. Conflagrated for around 9, hasty Bloodghasts and 3-4 zombies are usually Dredge's late game these days.
>>46253790
I guess, but you are probably better off just winning off of valakut triggers if you are scapeshifting, dread returning Frog and then dredging loam into dredging GGT intolab maniac GGseems more reasonable
Full spoilers are out, nothing reprinted of value, how do they expect to sell any of this set without expeditions and full art lands? Can't possibly be on muh lovecraft alone can it?
I think this is better than forked bolt, even thought it can't hit face
>>46254084
It is pretty ridiculous that they take every possible opportunity to reprint good cards and squander them.
>>46254117
No. Going to the face is definitely important to Forked Bolt's power, but the other part is that you can hit one creature for 2 damage which this cannot. So it can literally only kill X/1s while Forked Bolt can kill an X/2.
>>46254161
>up to
>>46254171
Yes, and? Reread the card. It only deals 1 damage to each thing it targets.
>>46254117
Forked bolt could hit players.
>>46254307
NEW TIER 1
>>46254307
Lightning storm is the superior combo m8. You only need 2 red sources, and you don't telegraph it.
I also like zombie infestation better, since its in color.
>>46244988
>What do you think about Tidehollow Sculler in the deck?
Good interesting option because you can Sac the Tidehollow Sculler immediately in response to its ETB trigger and exile the card permanently.
>mfw nothing in soi interests me for any of my decks so i can put the money aside for EM
>>46254490
With Seismic Assault you can go off as soon as Gitrog hits the battlefield (a turn faster than Lightning Storm). Either way though, you are telegraphing something unless you are going off on 8 mana
Infestation is a neat idea, but with how Gitrog is worded I don't think it works as well as you think it does
>>46252961
just like thoughseize yeah?
>>46254806
What do you mean zombie infestation wouldn't work? You just need 2 dakmor salvages, but that's easy as shit to get in your yard.
>>46254895
>discard 2 dakmors
>draw 1 card
>only get 1 dakmor back
It's the same way that Sidisi is worded and functioned
>>46253724
Same goes for you, sac 6 lands draw 1 card
>>46255095
Ah, was misreading the card. It's still not the worst combo I've seen, and might be worth including over the red combo pieces purely due to color consistency, or letting you splash blue.
Borby is probably better than seismic, if only because he also is a goryo's target. Which gives you some flexibility. Actually, gitrog monster might work in grishoabrand now that I think about it. It gives you more green spells to exile for the shoals, and can act as griselbrand 5-8. I'll have to take a look at some lists.
>>46254894
Thoughtseize was a reprint of an already expensive card, Titi is kitchen table jank
Now that we no longer have core sets, where the fuck are we going to get reprints from?
There wasn't a single relevant reprint in this set.
There's like, Dead Weight, Macabre Waltz, Lightning Axe, Puncturing Light, Tormenting Voice, Mad Prophet, Ghostly Wings, Gloomwidow and Fiery Temper. I probably missed a few, but that's because they are so irrelevant I didn't even know they existed.
All those cards have one thing in common, and that is being worth less than 10 fucking cents.
How are they going to address the rapidly increasing card prices?
Those "limited print run" bullshit things they pull achieve fucking nothing.
>>46255492
>How are they going to address the rapidly increasing card prices?
They're not.

>Those "limited print run" bullshit things they pull achieve fucking nothing.
Except making them a shit ton of money from people playing booster lottery, i am totally surprised there were no expeditions or at least a foil mythic snap/lili chase in this set 13 year old who like vampires and werewolves wont buy enough of this set to make it valid
>>46255492
You seem to be under the impression that Wizards doesn't make intentionally shitty products. They do. They'll continue to until it stops making them tons of money.
>>46255959
Protip, large companies will stubbornly lose money because of hubris.
>TFW they completely used this art for the wrong card
Easily could've been devilish tutor, searches cards with madness or flashback for 2 mana.
>>46253481
I've always used blightsteel.
If I can drop blightsteel early, and keep him on the field, then tap every damn thing the other guy has and attack with him next turn, it's a win.
>>46255989
I wouldn't say they're losing money now. But they are on the right path to sabotage their future earnings.
Magic is dying in small communities. While the Kitchen Table money will always be there, the FNM crowd is diminishing - yunno, the crowd that tends to go to large events and do all that free marketing for Wizards. In small communities they can't afford to suddenly lose 10-20 players; FNM stops firing. People clearly see how expensive Constructed it. $100 Jaces are nothing to brag about, it is NOT something Wizards should be bragging about "it creates perceived value"; you can only say that if players are fucking retarded - and guess what, they are retarded but there's also a portion of children that realize that a game that demands $400 in four pieces of cardboard is not something worth paying for not when there's an XBox that costs the same.
Wizards can brag about the growth of the game all they want. It is true in large cities where there are huge pools of people to draw a player base from and sufficient events to keep them interested. The growth in small communities is near-death and when they die and the stores die due to online sales there is no fucking coming back. The economy is in the shitter and small cities and towns are no longer growing and everyone who would live in those towns, fuck, and have children to buy your card games are leaving - for large cities.
>>46258671
the problem with blightsteel is that it costs 12 mana, which is minimum 5 tron pieces, which makes it hard to leave up countermagic to protect him from the rampant terror that is path to exile
Wurmcoil can come down the turn you get tron online with mana remaining to condescend and closes out the game in 2 or 3 swings with pseudo indestructable
against the greedier decks sundering titan can be a 1 sided armageddon and end the game in a couple swings
and Ugin is usually a 1 sided boardwipe followed up with bolts every turn until you win
and all of these cost less than blightsteel
