Anyone else like the new BW Eldrazi Taxes deck? Seemed pretty fun to me. I like these new Eldrazi decks without eye, just big creatures with good stuff, it's pretty fun and fair. Interested in seeing who wins the scg tourney today. Lot of Abzsn Company, the deck seems to just keep getting better as we move forward, seems like as long as there's creature tutors, that deck will stick around. Also the 8-0 D&T player last night cheats.
>>
>>47018485
I was building that deck before Eldrazi exploded, same as a lot of people were. It's fun, but I hate TKS in a deck where Aether Vial and Temple pull you in differing ways.
>>
>>47018717
What do you mean Eldrazi exploded? Like after it got banned? Why build a bad version before it got banned?
>>
Jim Davis said BW Eldrazi Taxes is bad, pack it in everyone.
>>
>>47019092
It is. D&T lacks tools to compete in Modern.
>>
So everyone agrees that infect is the best deck in the format right?
>>
>>47019202
Jund is popular right now, so no.
>>
>>47019202
Haven't you ever heard the rule that infect is bad when bolt is big?
>>
>>47018485
I played against the deck with U Tron and absolutely dumped on it. So it must fucking blow.
>>
>>47019292
thats not true because lighting bolt is bad against it and it has a good match up against jund.
>>
It has some game against (GR) Tron which frankly will never be tier 1 again without Eye. Just unban Eye, ban temple and mimic and be done with it.

It is junk not jund with the good match up against infect. Infect is practically built to beat jund while junk has a tutorable Melria and can out value infect. all the jund has is k command.
>>
>>47019717
Are you fucking stupid? Before you even have a chance to try to buff your creatures, I can thoughtsieze or IoK them out of your hand.
Plus, Jund runs shit loads of removal, more than protection you have. Also -2 lili
>>
>>47019777
though seize doe not hurt the deck is redundant, I have just as much protection with two spellskites, four vines, four apostal's blessings and all the pumps. also fetch four arbor is one of the oldest tricks infect has. Are jund fags really this salty that there $1200 deck has a bad match up.
>>
>>47019838
Nah, your just clearly retarded and never played against Jund. Thoughtsiezing and IoK'ing out all your threatsakes it easy enough.
But with 3 Abrupt Decays, 3 Terminates, 2 K commands, 4 Bolts, and 2 Pulses, I have much more removal than you. Since I don't have to care about damage from you, I can have several confidants out and am much more likely to have the cards I need than you as a result
>>
>>47019838

I was facing some dude who was playing Modern for the first time with a list from some primer and he ended up making first place - just play every creature on curve like some braindead 14 y o and clog the board until you eventually win - this deck is everything that is wrong with modern

I don't even get why they banned Pod to begin with
we are at the fucking same point again where Finks/Redcap Combo are easy as fuck to assemble as early as turn 3 and reliably on turn 4
they have access to every sideboard card in a format that is defined by sideboard cards and where everyone else is denied any sort of filtering

I mean seriously, why do you ban Pod and then print two new pieces for the deck? what is the fucking purpose?

Between Voice making */*s pop up, Scooze randomly hosing a lot of strategies as a maindeck card, Fulminator Mages doing Wasteland impressions and Finks beating for 5 I don't feel like this deck cares for it's combo as much as you say it does.

As I wrote, without removal or filtering for any other color but green they can just play everything on curve, still have mana open for Chord/CoCo and win just by the fact that they play nothing but creatues in a format where efficient removal is considered Hitler
>>
>>47021213
Grixis Control. Infect folds hard enough to Bolt, Kommand, Terminate and Electrolyze that I can't even imagine how much harder Jund fucks it with Abrupt Decay and Liliana. Infect feeds even more free matches than Twin did.
>>
>>47021451
>Be Infect's hardest matchup

Don't be retarded, anon, even Jund is easier to face.
>>
>>47021300
All the cards you listed are played in several decks, run in sideboards or as 1 ofs in the deck. Yeah the deck is strong but any deck with interaction can beat it. Jund plays a lot of those creatures but runs efficient removal and is an all round better deck.
>efficient removal is considered hitler
Are you high? Have you seen kommand vs affinity? Abrupt decay against most permanents? Path and bolt are crazy too. Coco requires it to have an active graveyard and works with 3 creatures. If that is too linear of a combo you're deck has no interaction at all. What do you even play that can't bolt in response to the combo? Yeah they have value creatures, so does pretty much every deck in this format, but they opted for a combo side than removal.
>>
Why are Memedern players such babies?

>waaaaaah muh reprints
>>
>>47021490
Infect's hardest matchup is melira co. Abrupt decay is v good against me unless I'm on nexus, in which case it looks real silly. Jund and grixis are both definitely not good for me, but they aren't unwinnable like company is.
>>

Modern decks run the most removal out of all the formats
>>
>>47021754
Yea Melira can be a bitch but its only one card that you will often have an answer to.

I've folded hard to Grixis due to the obscene amount of removal and counterspells, but I guess that it just depends on the matchup.
>>
>>47021858
>Yea Melira can be a bitch but its only one card that you will often have an answer to.
Such as? Unless you can deal 20 normal damage with Hierarch good luck drawing your one-of Dismember.
>>
>>47021898
Sorry, meant to type that its only one card that you have to worry about.

Also doing 20 damage isn't impossible.
>>
>>47021938
You probably won't have to deal 20 since nearly every deck doesn't care about going fetch->shock against infect.
You'll probably have to deal 14-16, which is still hard

It's not, but requires a nut draw and isn't an option after infinite life combo, the turn after you're dead.

JUUUUUUDJE!

As a owner of 4 decks (Ex Twin, Jund, Affinity and Infect), I must say Jund and Junk/Abzan preys on infect decks since the chance of winning for jund is 70 - 30, however SoI gave the UG Infect some tools to defend from discard. The new sorcery counterspell for U was a big surprise when I played vs an infect guy. He made the fucking match last over 10 minutes, time enough to setup delirium and remove my stuff from my deck. I kept killing his creatures and spellskites, hoping to land a lily (bobs didnt showed that match unfortunately). He saved a fucking negate to screw my lili. My tarmos were countered by spell snare and I was wondering what the fuck was going on. Had abrupt decays in hand that were useless vs the Inkmoth and died of Aids.

I still believe Infect is not good vs Jund, but they have now some stuff to fuck us if we go with the full discard and and beat plan.

Cant give an opinion since th lack of details in the story, but as I understood, was that we gotta make sure we have discard on t1 before they can defend with that new counterspell.
I agree we can get screwed if that thing is cast with delirium. Removing our IoK and Thoughtseizes can be a pain.
Some jund players remove their lightning bolts and rely on lily/bob/goyf + discard spell because of the fear of them having wild defiance and that is a mistake. Lightning bolt is one of the best spells in modern and they shouldnt be removed post sideboard.

That really seems like it should go without saying. Wild Defiance still eats Decay, and chances are better that Bolt puts in work than Defiance lands and sticks around.

>>47021585
>>47021829

The reason modern decks run so much removal is, because it is creature centric
The reason why control still doesn't work is because the removal is shit compared to what creatures can do

No matter what removal you pack, you always got huge blind spots in certain matchups while a creature always does the same no matter what opponent you face - you can always slam it on the board an kill with it

Also, try to stay on card parity when you try to remove Finks and Voice
Even PtE, the most easily available removal, that bypasses their abilities gives your opponent a free card

That is what I call inefficient removal - we are already at a point where creatures aren't on par with point removal but surpassed it

Efficient removal in this format would have to be shit like a Doom Blade with Investigate - or something like StP - heck I wouldn't care if they printed Swords to anything that is not them gaining card/board advantage

>>47025633
or infect just had enough protections spells. This match up literally comes down to opening hands and infect takes it more times then not because Jund will let you kill them with regular damage more than any other deck. Removal is not enough against infect one because it is bad in modern and because infect has a shit ton of protection. People here seem to think that just having a response is enough when it is not because infect is the one active while Jund has to spend all of its time reacting to what infect does giving infect plenty of time to just keep swinging on it already fast game plan. Also thoughseize is not good against it because it is a very redundant deck with a ton of cantrip effects and evasion.

Draws extra cards for potentially no life. Just has to sit there. Can do damage.

>>47026921
Jund holds up a lot more removal than you seem to think. They'll just kill it again in response.
Plus, Become Immense has nothing to do with all your pumps or creatures having been ripped out of your hand. If you're in top deck mode against Jund, you're fucked.

>>47027124
When it makes up half the fucking meta.

Lots of Jund also at the SCG Open, might as well ban that too.

Anyone ever tied a game before? Not from time, but from no one being able to win? Just happened to me.
>>
>>47027174
And if they ban it just because it makes up half the meta some hot new deck will just do the same.
???
>>
>>47027209
This has never stopped wizards before
>>
>>47026983
1. infect kills far before it get there
2. Yes become Immense does because those cards can be delved and become Immense is a kill condition on its own.
3. in response infect protects whatever Jund tries to kill.
4. Jund is a deck that tries to out one for one you. Goyf being better than any creature for value, all of its removal is the best such and such. Thing is that infect works under that because infect needs to be out valued for you to win. Infect if do much fast than it to not be able to just keep going when it looses one creature. When one guy can take your life in one swing that warps the amount of time you have to actually respond. infect lets you burst down them while they are at low mana and hold off just long enough to win. It is a deck that takes a lot of skill but then again fagots here don't get that because they think burn is simple. I was joking when I said it was the best deck in modern because it looses to junk, merfolk, grixis, DnT, and B/W tokens is another hard one but shit guys its pretty easy to see how infect beats Jund. All of infects protection beats all of Jund removal. Counter spells work against infect, out valuing works because infect has no way to make extra value. The only things tht make extra value is Kalitas, k command, and Tasigur, two of those come out too late and can be evaded while the other one is the reason why Grixis goes from hard to a death sentence.
>>
>>47027224
I feel like you are just saying that because they banned twin.
>>
>>47023742
Yes, and the random order is achieved through the shuffling of those cards you revealed through the cascade trigger. I don't get your point.
>>
>>47027190
You mean timing out? Usually decking means every game is inevitable with enough turns.
>>
>>47027246
1. It doesn't. When all your creatures are taken out of your hand or Terminated/Bolted/Abrupt Decayed, you're not winning any time soon
2. Become Immense just gets Bolted in response
3. Jund has much more card draw with Bob, it will have much more removal than you have protection
4. Not reading that shit.
>>
>>47026971

If you know infect is a big player in your meta, it's fairly reasonable to take out slower, less interactive cards (read huntsmaster) for skite. Not every version of jund wants maindeckable skite, but if your tuning against infect its good.

>>
>>47027306
1. that only happens when you over extend or they get a really really good hand.
2. in response vines with the bump. GG
3.Bob hurts you enough to where infect can kill you with normal damage. Even Tom Ross said that most of his normal damage wins comes from Jund.
4. I know you don't want to be proven wrong because it would hurt your ego but I am doing this for you so you can git gud.

What is that sentence?

Are you even writing in English anymore? Just to go after that you can win if you just get more k commands" are you trying to say run k command instead of skite? Legit confused right now. The point of skite is to get out early / under infect, not play into their disruption.

>>47027502
Thanks
>>
>>47027463
1. So you assume you always have good hands and your opponent doesn't.
2. In response Bolt again. This is assuming I didn't thoughtseize that out.
3. Won't matter when none of your creatures can connect since their dead
4. Nigger, that's 5 fucking lines where I already know you're wrong. I don't need to waste that much time.
>>
>>47027285
Nope. I was playing against lantern control and got to ultimate jace after he had needled liliana, and played an ensnaring bridge. Got him down to 0 cards in library and he kept recurring artifacts with academy ruins. I couldn't get milled either because of Emrakul. Even when he ran out of artifacts he could just sacrifice lantern every turn. We hardlocked eachother. Really weird.
>>
>>47027590
I know big word are hard for you because you are a autistic gibbon but let me break it down for you. Remember this morning when you were playing with your Hotwheels? when they got to the bottom they shot up to the high point afterwards right? that is how infect works it goes low then wins
>>47027673
1. No learn to read because over extend was in there to
2. Now your in magical Christmas of multiples of one card and enough mana to do it after they cast something on there turn like a goyf. that is when we win because we evade then become immense. Also in response Might of old Korosa.
3. Again infect has enough protection and can ramp with noble to keep stuff alive. Jund rarely gets everything. Tom Ross and other like him can tell you that.
4. but again you need to git gud and those lines keep me from repeating shit got that little one.

What happened with Revelry on Spellskite?
>>
>>47028554
He was supposed to hold hs Revelry and use it when Joe attacks with his Wurmcoil next turn, because Joe would have to kill himself if he wanted to save the Wurmcoil with his Spellskite, which would have bought the Burn player an extra turn to draw an answer.

Instead he decides to cast it on Spellskite without thinking and lost the game because of it.
>>
>>47028554
Joe Losset was at 4 life playing ton with a spellskite and a wurmcoil in play. No way to produce blue mana. Burn player was on 6 life, with a destructive revelry in hand. He cast it on the spellskite, in his main phase, in true burn retard fuck fashion. Then drew a mountain. Tbh if he drew a boro charm there I would have been mad as fuck, cause he deserved to lose for such an autistic fucking play.

Fuck I hate this deck so much it resembles everything that's wrong with modern magic.

Also blue is still shit tier even with those 2 únbans, it's hilarious to think that there were some retards here that said that those cards are broken and shouldn't ever be unbanned.
>>
>>47030409
Why is it "everything wrong with modern magic"? It's a value deck with the ability to tutor for combo creatures or utility creatures. Nothing more or less. Do you hate tutors? Do you hate flashing in creatures? I don't get it.
>>
>>47026888
that's not really true; so, OK.
BB gives a blocker each turn.
>>
>>47026951
I agree with you but I remember saying the same thing about pod.
>>
>>47030462
I have a problem with them because they get better with every standard set while every blue or combo player gets fucked.
>>
>>47030409
What's to hate? It's turning creatures sideways, AND comboing off, AND going to value town. It can be hated and interacted with. It's everything that IS Modern.

>>
>>47030913
Against BB inkmoth isn't really a thing. And the vast majority of decks don't run 4 apostle's. Slip through space is a card, but it's definitely not a 4-of. I don't think it's even a 3-of

>>47030927
I have yet to see an infect list that runs 4 rancor. It's usually a 1-of if it's played at all.

this is the correct solution.

You have to make the infect player spend their pump spells and blessings in such a way that they are functionally casting Negate rather than Giant Growth.

The kid you're all arguing with is essentially saying 'no I just Counterspell you' to every possible scenario, which makes me wonder why yall niggas aren't just saying ' I Sudden Shock your Blighted Agent gg no re'

Ok so go and read the rest of the thread, I have written a novella on it at this point.All you fag have said is removal and i have proven that as wrong.

I've read all your retarded posts, yeah you can pump a guy out of bolt range, good for you. It's funny how in the very article you posted, that fat retard mentioned pumping their guy in response to bolt and then winning. Like, who the fuck bolts a glistened elf pre combat? It's retarded. It's pretty much like saying "lmao dredge is the best deck in legacy, so what if they have Rest in Peace? I'll just nature's claim it!" It's retarded. And if Jund isn't a bad match up for Infect then tell me, what is a bad matchup, cause if Jund isnt, then Infect should be easily the best deck, bar none.
