>can't consistently kill before turn 4
>infect
Why does wizards do this? I'm not calling for a ban or anything, but infect can sure as fuck pull off turn 3 wins easily. I don't get why wizards had to go and ban Amulet Bloom and Twin and let infect be a thing, it really makes no sense to me. I only mention this, because I was played ting against it last night, and if you're not running a decent amount of interaction, you pretty much lose to infect.
>>46980769
because any real interaction shuts it right down.
>>46980769
> i don't like noninteractive explosive decks
>but i don't like to play interactive spells
>>46980769
Because the only way Infect wins turn three is if your opponent can't interact with the board in any way. Any creature deck wins quick under those circumstances.
I got so tired of encountering infect in my local meta that i mainboard spellskites in every modern deck i play except Living end (for obvious reasons).
Spellskite so gooood

I don't get it.
Why these shitty wincons? Its not like its a budget deck or anything.
Been testing Hoogland's Kiki-Chord the past few days.
It's extremely fun but you have to know all decks semi well.
>>46981881
That's a lot of tron. Seems like you should play infect.
>>46982065
Only because Meme Rhino and Oblit survive it and i can path the bigger stuff
Hilarious to path an iona on black.
They board her out everytime i do it

Yes, the one of in your list, I'm so scared.
>>46982151
Do it. It's great for those days when you want to play magic but are feeling tired and don't want to think. And you can always use the old women for something else.

And to give you something to actually reply to:
Meta is: Infect, Kiki Chord, Abzan Company, Blue Moon, UW Thopter Gifts, RG Burn, Naya Aggro, Jund
What could I play that fucks this meta the most? Somehow I don't see a blind spot.
>>46982151
>>46982356

>>46982356
ehhhh maybe
I'm about to start a full time job that pays $19/hour, so I guess I can throw money into more decks. Gotta prioritize my purchases though, because I still haven't gotten Lili's.

>What is Bird, what is Finks, what is Rhino, what is Caryitad, what is Thraggy
What kind of gifts players do you play against? They must be fucking retards.
>>46983069
Tron Gifts and Thopter Gifts and bastard abominations between the two, and some gifts jammed into MonoU Mindslaver tron
Also, I've usually killed a creature on turn 2, 3, or 4, before the gifts
>>46983113
The point is mostly Caryitad, Thraggy, and Finks.
Unless you path Finks, it comes back.
Unless you edict Caryitad, you can't touch it.
Unless you double kill Thraggy, it comes back.
>>46983188
So, you realize they try to get the Iona lockdown on turn 5, right? That's the first thing they do, and they only have the one Iona
>>46983214
>you saying all these things
My friend, I play gifts, I know how it works. If I Iona lock, it's turn 4 generally (because bird and Caryitad)
But even so, I'm not gonna lock against Junk, I use the Thopter combo.
>>46983013
No it's not needed, but may be worth continued testing.
Cutting the Coursers for an Aven Mindcensor and a Sin Collector greatly increases the odds of winning game 1 against spell based combo decks like Scapeshift.
>>46982111
>No Snapcasters

>>46982952
>Are you retarded?
Are you? The person you responded to was just clarifying that Ancestral Vision does not have a mana cost of 0, but instead has no mana cost at all.
>>46983549
have you consider Beast Within as removal?
>>46983549
i've seen a similar deck
maybe you'll find something useful
http://mtgtop8.com/event?e=12063&d=269214&f=MO
>>46983611
Giving your opponent a creature capable of blocking half your guys and trading with the rest is a great way of pushing damage through.
>>46983549
Explore and lead by example suck the dick here get aspect of hydra for them sick beats
someone make modern zombies a thing
>>46983549
ditch the groundbreaker for leatherback baloths. commune with nature is unnecessary because you are an aggro deck. same with elvish visionary and explore, you dont need ramp because your curve is very low. lead by example is not good. add more vines and some removal, like dismember or prey upon. consider some scavenging oozes for value and synergy with your avatars.
so pretty much listen to this anon and go this route >>46983654 this is a proven to work deck

> I wouldn't
and that is why you are a complete pleb
>>46985948
What are you talking about? I don't see how the conversation flows from the two posts you linked to your post.
>>46983549
Ditch the explore, you aint got time for that. I'd say the same for elvish mystic. Drawing action is better than drawing commune, but if you feel like you need it to smooth your deck out a little, that's fine. Groundbreaker is questionable, but if you think the threat density of your deck is high enough to tax their removal and therefore allow your GB to sneak in there then do whatever you want with them. As someone else on this thread have already suggested, leatherback baloth is probably the better card. I also question the inclusion of Lead by Example
What deck to buy into? i've played a couple of burn itterations, infect, and Blue Moon that my friend owns, they're all pretty cool.
Any cool budget brews anyones' fucked around with recently?

>>46986438
eh maybe 5-600? just kinda lookin to a sort of "starter" modern thing. Really like naya burn though. I know basically anything "good" is in the 1k range and i dont feel like just blowing 1k on something right off the rip.
>>46987031
That looks quite interesting, thanks for the link.
>>46987209
It's just crazy enough to work, or get shat on by actually good decks
>>46987209
Yeah go naya burn or kikichord if you want something a little dirtier
>>46987209
you have options at that price breh. Kiki-chord, naya burn, infect, tron gifts, living end, dredgevine, death and taxes. Looks up any of the names that get your attention.
>>46987209
if you're into combo theres storm and ad naseum
>>46987209
If you feel like slow is the way to go to you can run lantern control or turbo-fog

I post this every modern thread, and never get any replies, but desu it's a really fun deck. Between the 3 skites and 4 chalice main boards my aggro match up is pretty sweet. On top of that, the thopter sword combo is great against aggro. All in all I just have such good match ups against my field, as I'm running all this main deck aggro hate, it's pretty rad. Then my midrange and control matchup is prettyy great, as my deck is just so good at finding the combo, and the combo is just so hard for them to beat. Loving this deck desu, give it a shot.
>>46988955
pls dont buy listen to this man
>>46987209
Allow me to introduce you to UW Gifts Tron, the spiciest deck in modern. We've got it all
>Gifts Ungiven
Any card you want, when you want it, and where you want it. This card puts your opponent in the hot seat and lets you control your hand and graveyard.
>Mindslaver
You know you want to crack this bad boy. It's one of those cards that's just so crazy it works, and you can even win by taking all of your opponents turns and decking them.
>Iona, Shield of Emeria
Nine mana? In my format? It's more likely than you think. Think of the salt you'll sow naming red against burn or green against elves. Comes with a bonus giant flying beat stick.
>Elesh Norn
Got $500? Then you can get the prettiest judge promo ever printed /and/ play it in modern. A house against creature decks, especially ones that go wide.
>Emrakul
15 mana, win the game. Spicy tech with Gifts since it can get you all your spent cards back or go into your hand for the fabled inevitability. Works in the main or side.
>Thopter combo
Tron manabase pushes this combo to the extreme. If you though rev for 15 was a hot meme wait until you fire off this piece of shit.
>Crucible of Worlds
Smells like EDH in here. This card borders on abuse with your draw spells and gifts
Plus you get access to blue's counter suite and white's removal suite, as well as value trains like Rev for 15.
>>46988955
Why play 4 mana leaks when you can just play 4 rune snags?
>>46987209
Black/White tokens and Soul Sisters are both budget tier 1.5 decks. They hate on specific strategies, and get beaten by others.
The problem with both is that they don't really have cards that will Transfer to other decks if you move away from them, aside from Path to Exile and Inqusition of Kozilek/Thoughtseize.
Soul Sisters is my favorite deck, and only costs about 300 for a completely optimized list, and about 100 of that comes from 3 Archangel of Thunes. People say gaining life doesn't win games. Prove them wrong.
>>46989208
What?
>>46989365
Because graveyard hate gets brought in against my deck, also its normally just not as good.

Wouldn't copperline gorge or better yet Grove of the Burnwillows not be superior to Fire-lit Thicket? In my own testing and just watching Hoogland streams thicket bites you in the ass way more than it ever helps.
Also what should I replace horizon canopy with until I get one? I've tried a bunch of different things and nothing feels quite right.
>>46989262
Got a list?
>>46989568
Idk, it depends on some stuff, what's your list? I run 2 PnK and Kiki, and it really helps me cast that shot cause its really like my only read source outside 2 shocks and birds.
>>46989777
The only differences between mine and Hooglands last list is i run a maindeck courser instead of mindcensor, I run one huntmaster in place of one of the PnKs, I run a copperline gorge instead of a Thicket(should hopefully be a Burnwillows by tomorrow) and I keep trying to find something to sub for the horizon canopy until i can get one(right now I am trying a mana confluence and it has been functional).
>>46989525
This deck looks sweet, but god damn G2 must be awful.
>>46989498
Soul Sisters is tier 1.5 easily. It beats up on creature decks and burn, but it loses to combo decks, tron and infect. That's what I consider a 1.5 deck, but your opinion can vary. It plays fair against a lot of decks, but gets reamed by others. It's a great deck when you expect a lot of aggro on the field.
>>46990314
No, tier means what share of the meta a deck makes up, if you're saying soul sisters is in between tiers 1 and 2 that's just wrong.
>>46990274
Well there used to be a time where sticking Blood Moon did hilarious things to people.
But then they unbanned Sword. To be honest I haven't played Boros much at all between lolELDRAZI and now ThopterSword being legal. And when I did it used to eat shit to Splinter Twin because in practice keeping up removal to intercept the combo is harder than it looks.
Fucking Deceiver Exarch and its 4 toughness.

Also does anyone run UB Tezz in their affinity deck? Been thinking about trying it, but it just seems like it would be a bit clunky.
>>46992447
Get your index and middle finger and put them in your ass and curl them up to find the prostate, this feels exactly like playing elves
Then take out your shit smeared fingers and put them in your mouth, this is what modern feels like
>>46992447
Tezz is really not what you want to be doing in affinity. It's bad enough getting to 4 mana. Win more as fuck
>>46992724
That really wasn't funny desu m8
>>46992786

Green White is alright for sideboard. Mirror Entity is shit don't bother. Go with Craterhoof.
I'm trying Black Green but so far it's pretty much the same but less ramp and more crippled by boardwipes.

>>46989437
As a former Tokens player, Tokens is tier 1 in a meta of exclusively Affinity, UWx control, Jund and Abzan
Sadly, Infect, Zoo and burn are hard (50/50, worse post-board), living end is just better than you are, ad Nauseum, and Scapeshift are terrible. Concede to Tron of any sort.
The problem is you are playing a control deck with little way to stop a spell based combo like ad Nauseum or something like that.
Soul sisters is godawful. Its tier 3 at best. You get crushed by Tron, Tokens, living end, any fast deck. The only deck that you beat is storm and ad Nauseum
>>46993430

Collected Chord
>>46992262
Abzan, run Gilt Leaf Palace, horizon canopy and Cavern of Souls
The idea is to have an elf skeleton of nettles, druids and dorks with wincons game one.
You only need to run 1 or 2 of most of your wincons. 2 Ezuri, 1-2 Shaman of the Pack
You then adjust a whole heap of flex spots. I run a Spellskite in the main and another Sideboard. You can try fauna Shaman for living end, chameleon colossus for jund
Thats why its a good deck. You basically have the Kiki Chord deck with an aggro deck.
Try to build it for consistancy. I run 4 mainboard Chord personally, because I like to be able to get my answers no matter what in long games.
>>46988777
>Ad Nauseam
Don't play this. It basically can't win against infect, has extremely hard matchups against affinity, jund, and abzan, and does a little worse than average against burn and bogles. So it loses more than wins against most of the premier decks in the format. On the plus side, it's got decent or better matchups against everything else, and Tron is almost literally unlosable. Still, that doesn't make it any better than mid Tier 2, and it always will be.
Source: I have been playing the deck for two years.
Is this the competitive thread for Modern? OP didn't specify.
I'm trying to avoid getting bitch slapped by aggro and Jund in my local meta. Any hints on this sketch?

UWx being in the "fun" category amused me. It's literally 60/40 or better vs the entire T1 field right now. With the exception of maybe zoo which for some reason has made a huge jump, or jund, which is 10% of the meta top8, but you've ignored it too.

Hey everyone, I was thinking about making like a bant humans deck, with shape anew as a interesting way to just win out. I was thinking like, Thraben Inspector, Blade splicer, and Tireless Tracker, what do you guys think? Are there any other good ways to get an artifact on the battlefield, and any humans I should consider?
>>46998911
i've played against a bant list using whirler rogue to help get reliquary knight through
>>46998951
That seems a little too cute to me, other things I'd want to do for 4 mana.
>>46998911
Are you trying to build a polymorph deck? Blade splicer seems bad if that's the case.
>>46999266
No not polymorph, banter humans with shape anew.
>>46999285
So you're trying to shape anew into a blightsteel?
>>46999403

Blighsteel is cool, Platinum Angel not so
>>46999906
GBx midrange will either be 2 grand or garbage. it sucks without expensive unique cards like goyf, lili, etc. You could look into a deck like living end, which can be made on a budget. When you start upgrading the deck, start with the mana base though. Also look through mtg goldfish for modern decks that run the colours you like.

sideboard aven mindcesnsor, flash it in when they attempt to combo.
sideboard shadow of doubt, cast it when they attempt to combo.
there's two options right there. incidentally shadow is searchable with wish, being both black and blue.
>>46999742
Something to keep in mind is that guild names like "Golgari" are usually used in reference to the colors, not the actual guild. So a good "Golgari" deck will have pretty much nothing to do with the guild.

He conducts himself poorly when he looses.
>>47004117
he likes to whine about decks he doesn't like
>I know Birthing Pod is Ban
Hey so wanting to build a (melira) pod deck, not for anything sanctioned obviously. Are there any newer cards since it's banning that I should really consider adding?
"Colored spells" is so racist. This commentary is triggering me.

your girl called, she said she wants a man that can do both.
>>47004172
Consider Kalitas and maybe Woodland Bellower, but nothing else jumps out.
>>47004291
Oh and maybe, MAYBE consider Thought-Knot Seer. Might require a manabase makeover to allow it though, but the card looks like it could fit.

underrated post
>>47004102
who is that?
>>47005069
Jeff hoogland aka "boohoogland" is best known for his kiki-chord deck in modern. He's also known for being a salt golem and crying about stuff he doesn't like. He's also a bit of a smug cunt if you've ever watched his streams. He's regularly ridiculed by legacy players for crying about brainstorm being too strong.
>>47004646
>playing a meemee deck
>ever
>>47004834
what does that even mean? if I'm playing for fun why even pick a format at all? I'll just do kitchen table with my shit cards I keep in the basement.
>>47004834
unless you're saying you have all those formats. in that case, EDH players are cancer and vintage is a meme format.
>>46983534
>Playing Kiki-Chord
>60 Cards MB
Bruh, play 61-63
>>47005172
Well, brainstorm is pretty darn strong, I mean it's a 4 of in pretty much all blue legacy decks, and vintage.
>>47005244
I meant EDH for fun, could've been formatted better on my part.
>>47005266
Depens largely on the LGS, EDH community is pretty chill here. Legacy remains best format though.
Also, calling vintage a meme format posting in the modern thread is pretty exhilirating.
>>47005523
Given how much Brainstorm defines Legacy, it makes you wonder how much different the game would've been if they never printed it (or fetch lands for that matter).
Blue/red pauper infect here, it tears new assholes left and right, massive butthurt in local community.

Why didn't they just restrict eye of ugin instead of banning it?
>>47005802
>wins ever g1
Nigger, I've been playin dredge for a long, long time. It's a fun deck, but it doesn't beat a lot of decks, it's definitely a meta choice, a fun, different way to play magic and fun stuff, but still, it doesn't always win game 1.
>>47006747
Because there is no "Restricted List" in Modern and there never should be.
By the way, Tron deserves to suck.
anybody play Grixis here? How necessary is Flip Jace to the deck?
how much would modern and legacy be different if dual lands, shocks and fetches were never made? would burn be powerful?
>emma mandy on cam again
oh god why
jesus christ how hideous
>>47007003
I think mono coloured decks would be more prevalent. The Formats would suck though. Every deck would be super clunky. Burn wouldn't be so great in modern, because people wouldn't lose so much life off there lands.
>>47007060
painter servant would be a a lot better for legacy, also control would be gone even harder than it is now for modern. Affinity would get a ban because how how broken it would be. Shit might be cheaper though.
>>47007119
Elves would probably be insane.
>>47007150
what could stop it at that point?
>>47007239
maybe some form mono black or mono blue storm. Just decks that can go off turn 2-3 in general.
>>47007275
would high tide work?
>>47007405
Possibly. I think it would depend on who played first honestly. Elves is turn 4 usually, but I'm not to sure about high tide.
>>47006871
Why does ton deserve to suck?
Why are we having this pointless discussion on if some cards weren't printed? Also fuck yeah to Thompson keeping Eldrazi alive.
>>47007602
Hating Tron is basically how ex-Pod players and Twiniggers define themselves after getting their decks banned, don't mind them.
So is hatebears now a shitty t2 deck?
Is there any way to make it semi-viable with new g/w spells?
>>47007656
because it is fun and we are enjoying ourselves, no one said you had to join if you didn't want to. You could have just kept scrolling and posted the end of what you said about Eldrazi.

>>47007583
The earliest high tide can go off is turn 4.

Kind of a cunt ain't ya.
>>46993387
Merfolk suck against elves. Went ten games at FNM and won every one against Merfolk peasant
>>47007003
One of the reasons burn exists in legacy is price of progress. If everything was mono you would lose alot of damage.
>>47008062
I don't think that's true.
Turn 3. Cast high tide.
Tap your second island for two. Cast 1 high tide. Tap 3 island for 3. Use 4 mana to cast turnabout. Then tap 3 islands for 9. Cast Time spiral. Go off....
Used to play high tide. Shits fun.

Holy duck is anyone watching this Death and taxes player sit the bed? I can understand ghost quartering the land to try and cut him off coco, maybe he didn't see that line to gq his plains and get one untapped to path. But Casting a mind censor main phase? Against a chord deck? Are you shitting me nigger? That's a fucking poor show. I'm honestly embarrassed that this retard is 8-0.

I'd drop the ancestrals and serum visions at least. If you're playing soul sisters then you want a maximum of creatures to trigger them. Norin The Wary would work well with sword too
Hey trying to help my friend play burn better, she's new. Anyone have that chart of What to' and When to's?
>>47010608
But that's why I'm so hard anon. I live for memes.
>>47010589
He's clearly shitting his pants because he is 8-0 and on camera. The deck is impossible to win with if you pilot it like shit, especially for a perfect streak.
Any new meme Vampire decks in T2/T3 with SOI release? It's been a while since I've played. Hit me with some decklists if possible.
Anyone have that chart on "how to play burn."
>>47010657
Nah, casting mind censor main phase against a chord deck is just retarded, literally no excuse for that level of a hit play.

Nah, kids just clearly lucky as fuxk, probably cheats or something but won't try it now on camera. Kids shit.
>>47010765
He can't cheat because he was at the top tables all afternoon under hyper supervision. Lucky is more likely at this point.
>>47010664
nothing really modern playable came out. If you've added Kalitas, you're already caught up.
>>47010791
Bruh, people cheat under judges faces all the ducking time. Especially when it gets down to the last matches. I've had faggots Crack fetches and search out townships on me, shit like that, right next to a judge, just an end of turn fetch or something no one's paying attention to. People ducking cheat man, don't think it doesn't happen.
>>47010664
Fuck, I thought you killed yourself, I was so happy.
>>47010945
Sorry to break your heart, baby.
>>47010791
Dude, just looking at that kids level of play, I don't know. To go 8-0 with a D&T deck is a difficult feat, it takes skillful play and good knowledge of the game and other decks. That kid had no idea what the fuck was going on. He made so many misplays, literally every misplay that was there to make. I just cannot honestly see that kid going 8-0 without either divine intervention or some shady business. Yeah, I'll take that he's on camera and shit, but still, that's no excuse to blow the game that ducking badly. And I noticed he flickered a bird and then gestured like he can't make mana, ad if he didn't understand how a mana ability worked. And he didn't understand the bolster mechanic, or anything really. The kid just seemed to have no idea what the Fuck was going on, I just can't see him going 8-0 it just does not sit right with me.
here's a list i play not super competitive but its fucking funny
http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/wasted-wheel/
>>47010918
>>47011077
Yeah I'm gonna go ahead and say he is a shitter who got through with shady business. I understand fear and I gave him doubt, but you can't fuck up EVERYTHING without attracting suspicion.
Which Dev do you guys feel are ruining the game. I feel like magic devs have been needing new blood for a long time but I feel Ken Nagle is killing the game set by set on the ones he develops

>1000's of cards to play with

>"competitive" format
>HNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGG
>>47011296
Maybe, there could have been a few factors. I don't know. But to get to 8-0, and then just bomb every single play, just doesn't make sense to me.
>>47011215
Tarkir block was fantastic.
Oath was great.
Shadows is great.
The one recent set he didn't take part of was Battle and that set was okay. The Standard sets are fine. What sucked was Modern Masters 2015 and even they did some things right.

In turn go back to phyrexia and his claim that phyrexia mana is balanced.
Or born of the gods or I suppose all of theros in general.
>>47009414
Yeah i guess you're right. I'll admit I've little experience with high tide. I've never seen it go off before turn 4.

>>46982151

>>47011344
SOI is ok so far. Some cool cards, I'm a huge fan of tireless tracker and Gitgud.
Everything else is kinda meh so far though. Maybe it's because standard right now is so fucking boring. There's some cool jund lists floating around though.
>>47011398
The further back you go, the weakest your argument is. New Phyrexia was 5 years ago.
Born of the Gods sucked but even that was 2 years ago. Everything after BNG turned out great.
>>47011388
I'm sure this is some kind of bait and I'm falling for it but there is no way he could have remanded your path on turn 3 after casting exarch, not with any twin build that a good player would have played.
>>47011471
Dude, what the fuck are you talking about.
>>47011460
Proxy it up sometime. It's interesting. I always felt that it made you a better as a player to learn decks like high tide ad nauseum gifts ungiven decks that make you think just....differently about magic
>>47011578

>>47011503
His first lead development was worldwake as well. How he kept his job after that is beyond me. We might remember these sets such as worldwake and new phyrexia as being powerful but a decent chunk of cards from this set were banned as the modern format came to be or considered overpowered.and considered ban worthy in stamdard. Even To the recent eldrazi scourge that plagued the format. He had some moments but I've always thought him getting the boot was long overdue
>>47011636
>>47011578
I actually do play doomsday, that deck is sweet.. High tide never really interested me. Plus candelabras are mad expensive.
