The paper Modern Metagame.
>>47873735
Let come the autists saying that new emrakul is good for modern
We tron now.
>>47873768
newrakul is the best card in modernthat allows you to lose the game by wasting 13 fucking mana on a shitty mindslaver
>>47873809
>mind slaver is a 13/13 flyer with trample and protection from instants
/tg/ retards, everyone
>>47873809
That can actually cost ~5 mana.

>Can be countered
>is useless with RiP
>Mindslaver is better and sees 0 play
Did you bought ou TiTi's at 25 dollars each?
what do i need to do to this deck to make it viable in a casual/slightly competitive setting?
not expecting to win every game, i would be happy with 1/3
http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/hunted-thing-in-the-ice/
How good now is Skred? I think to buy this deck, only expensive cards are blood moons. What do u think?
>>47873735
Wait, people still play this trash format? Just play legacy of you want something that is actually skill-testing, fun, and competitive
>>47873783
>doesn't require anus mana
SASUGA WIZARDS
>>47875686
I assume you're not going to accept that it's garbage an you shouldn't be playing this in modern.
The manabase looks awful. Get some shocks and fetches to replace those terrible Choked Estuaries.Sign in blood would probably be better off as Read the Bones even. Also replace the Deprives with Remands. Maybe add Tasigur and Gurmag Angler.
Honestly, just scrap this shit and build a deck that has put up tournament results. There is no way this could ever be considered "viable".
>>47876071
Asshole mana actually makes me upset, every card just needed the line "at least x needs to be paid in colorless mana". No erratas, no new special rules. There's literally no reason why you wouldn't do it that way.
>>47876157
Read the bones is pretty good in the right deck desu.
>>47875318
>it's the same shitter from the other thread
Lol, what a mongoloid.
>>47876264
Because that would be ugly as fuck and take up space on dozens of cards. Its not that hard to understand.
>>47873735
I want to get started in modern, never played the format before and have been away from magic for a long time, would be a burn deck a good idea to start with?
It seems like it isn't extremely expensive yet powerful enough, I also like red.
Would a card based on well known people in the MTG community be balanced?
>>47876973
Kill yourself.
>>47876973
As awful as this post is, a UU costed planeswalker looks fucking T A S T Y.
Would even settle for a colorshifted Tibalt.
>>47876811
Yes it would. I don't know how budget naya burn even is anymore, but you could probably make a cheaper list that would be alright for a new player.
>>47878607
I was looking at some lists and while I don't mind dishing money for a deck have to pay 300€ of lands alone is pretty annoying, how much of an impact do these dual lands have in modern? I can understand need untapped mana t1 in legacy, but it seems that it could work fine even with taplands in modern.
>>47878913
Burn is a fast deck. It's retarded to do nothing on turn one
>>47878966
I know, but with some tuning chances of having taplands turn 1&2 are slim, turn 3&4 however I would have to play them.
>>47876549
>mongoloid
I'm not the one saying this will be playable, shitter. go play limited with your garbage
>>47879095
With burn you either play fetches and shocks or go monored. Dont play taplands.
>>47876973
Fuck off.
>>47879165
This. If you're too poor for shocklands, just go monored.
>>47875979
>How good now is Skred? I think to buy this deck, only expensive cards are blood moons. What do u think?
Bump
>>47879165
>>47879339
Guess I'll go for that then, thanks.
>>47879483
I 4-0 with my list but I've been playing it for awhile.
It has good matchups against creature decks and jund.
Wilted abzan and ad nauseum are it's worst matchups.
Don't run mind stone. You only need 3 moons. Reckoner is boss. Skin invasion is super secret tech.
>>47879831
May I see your list?
As a long time Standard player I want to get into modern but I'm really torn about what deck to build.
The pricetag of a competitive deck is so much higher than in Standard that I really just can't decide what to pick. I fear to be desapointed or get bored with my deck after only a few games.
As a Modern veteran, what deck would you advise for someone that looks for a fun yet strong deck requiring some good thinking.
I like Mardu but it's not really high tier... I was thinking maybe Kiki-Chord. Idk, what do you think ?
>>47880801
Answer these first:
>Are you alone or do you have a playgroup?
>Do you plan to play in sanctioned events?>What are your favorite Standard decks?
>How much are you ready to pay?
>Have you seen some Modern matches before? Paper and/or online, streams, YouTube, etc.
>What decks among >>47873745 interest you?
>>47876065
"skill testing"
decks in legacy winning on turn 1
do you even?
>>47880914
>Are you alone or do you have a playgroup?
I have a playgroup
>Do you plan to play in sanctioned events?
Only FNM for now.
>What are your favorite Standard decks?
In current Standard I play Sultai Seasons Past but my favourite deck isGreen Aurora
>How much are you ready to pay?
Money isn't an issue
>Have you seen some Modern matches before? Paper and/or online, streams, YouTube, etc.
I've spectated some matches at FNMs and seen plenty of videos online, mainly tourneys on WOTC's youtube channel
>>What decks among >>47873745 interest you?
Summoning Trap, Grixis Delvers and Kiki Chord. I also like Mardu which isn't on this list but is very similar to Jund.
>>47879985
I will post later when I'm home
>>47879109
What a retarded shitter you are, you're probably one of these scrubs who despite having a top tier overcostly deck still get BTFO by everyone for how shit they are kek
>>47881088
>Pick up 4 of this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70cbNJrs2Xw
>Get all the decks
>>47881400
You are one of these who bought TiTi at 25 bucks, and aslo one of those who tought myth realized would break vintage
>>47881472
Stop crying about getting BTFO by Slivers with your Jund deck and git gud shitter.
>>47881444
I'd rather not. I don't want to risk getting banned from my lgs even if the chance I get caught is really slim. Also I don't trust chinaman to deliver either.
I just one one fun deck to play.
>>47881088
>I have a playgroup
If you have a playgroup, then the best advice I can give you is for you and your group to print out a few competitive decks and try stuff. Once you find the deck you like the most, start building it. Try to grab a deck that has staples that go in multiple decks, like Kiki Chord's Noble Hierarch and Restoration Angel.
>Only FNM for now.
FNM level depends on the store. Some local metas are pretty hardcore, and some are fairly easy. Mardu definitely has a fighting chance there.
>In current Standard I play Sultai Seasons Past but my favourite deck is Green Aurora
Based on your Standard preferences, try looking for Devotion Green.
>http://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/432479#paper
It's around Tier 3, it's an alright deck. Proxy that deck before buying it if it really interests you.
>Money isn't an issue
Money not an issue? That's great. I heavily encourage buying a deck that can easily be transformed into something else if you are bored. Like Kiki Chord becoming an Abzan Company deck, or something. Just because it's not an issue doesn't mean you should spend big whenever you want to build a new deck. Not having to play a budget deck really helps though.
>I've spectated some matches at FNMs and seen plenty of videos online, mainly tourneys on WOTC's youtube channel
Okay, so I assume the format interests you enough for it to be worthwhile. At this point, I suggest you watch Modern streams whenever you can and see if a deck catches your eye so you can try it out before maybe buying it. Also helps make you a better player, as commentary usually explains why a play is more optimal than another.
>Summoning Trap, Grixis Delvers and Kiki Chord. I also like Mardu which isn't on this list but is very similar to Jund.
Kiki Chord is probably the strongest in that list. Mardu is also good, it's just an awkward Jund and Jeskai hybrid though. Consider proxying both of these decks before trying Mardu out.
TL;DR print whole decks and play
>>47881513
>I don't have arguments, i'm gonna insult you
go play your janky 5 color tier 9 shitbrew, sure you always go 4-0 on your casualfag tourney
>>47881553
Thank you man, that really helps. Will definitely try out green devotion.
Any good streams you would recommend watching ?
>>47873905
Mindslaver can be setup for an infinite loop with Academy Ruins and a whole heap of tron lands. Doesn't need a 13/13 body.
>>47881444
How much does this guy charge ?
>>47875318
To be fair, Mindslaver does get played in U-tron.
>>47875318
I don't think it's THAT bad. But def not as good as everyone thinks
Can anyone rate this budget creatureless UW deck based off of Floch's Azorius deck? I've been playing around with it all weekend, trying to keep the main deck below $100, but I don't know if what's ended up is playable.

5x Island
2x Jace, Architect of Thought

>>47882644
Here's your (you)
>>47873809
dont be a dumbass, by the time you would even be able to play newrakul, you could prob play it for 9/10 mana and thats atleast a couple turns in.
>play new emmy for 10 mana
>take control of opponents turn
>look at hand
>use all the spells
>attack with their creatures (by this time, you should atleast have some board presence with creatures)
>block with your creatures and emmy
>your turn rolls around
>attack with emmy and others
you prob played all their spells, and if not, you know whats in their hand.
but if you did, they are top decking for their next 2 turns and cant do shit cuz you still have a 13/13
>another tournament where Nahiri memes doesn't make top 16
Do people still think the deck is good?
>>47884859
Infect didn't do anything there either, and that deck remains pretty fucking powerful.
>>47879831
How the fuck is abzan a bad matchup for blood moons and removal the deck?
>>47884211
The only deck that could possibly cast newrakul in modern is Tron and I think they have better options. Ulamog seems like a more consistent game winner and if you're gonna play a wincon that costs more than that you might as well play old emrakul.
>>47873783
Seems like a fun commander but I don't think it will be better than the other Eldrazi that tron can already choose from.
100% total casual here, but I think I've found out an interesting combo.
Use creatures that exile things as long as they are in play, process the things in exile, and then flicker to exile more things and/or process more things.
Has anyone else dabbled in this concept? I feel like this idea could really flourish with the proper person building and playing a deck.
>>47885809
Check out Eldrazi Taxes. The deck is very, very similar and it has legs.
>http://www.mtggoldfish.com/archetype/modern-eldrazi-taxes#paper
>>47885897
Thank you for the information, I guess the big problem with the deck I whipped up was how it only focused on that one combo and nothing else.
I'm not entirely certain what you mean when you say it "has legs" though.
So I'd like to get back into MtG, but how should I progress?
Buy some cards in bulk, to get my deck building up again?
Buy some of these new starter packs?
Build some decks online and buy the cards each?
Any advice is appreciated.
>>47886053
It means the deck can compete. It is not "just a random list", it's a real threat.
>>47886144
Oh, that makes sense. Thanks again.
>>47884859
Got 3rd dude, and it's still a strong Tier one deck.
So I can't decide between running read the bones and pieces of the puzzle in this. Each of them have their upsides, but i'm leaning more towards read the bones. Been running it for a while and it works great. Like looking at the extra card and not loosing life with pieces, although you can't keep an any creatures or planeswalkers with it.
http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/grixis-griselvengeance-no-shoal/
>>47886193
That's weird, that list doesn't show up on SCGs official results list:
http://sales.starcitygames.com/deckdatabase/deckshow.php?event_ID=36&t[event]=28&start_date=2016-06-18&end_date=2016-06-19&city=&order_1=finish&limit=8&t_num=1&action=Show+Decks
>>47886264
SCG fucked up man.
Is RG werewolves good/fun/viable?
>>47886255
I assume painful truths it out of the question?
>>47886538
Or something like a DQ happened.
>>47886628
Yeah, I tried it but I like the card selection of read the bones better. Also that one life can be relevant sometimes.
>>47886657
good point well my vote is for pieces of the puzzle. 1 in ten times you lose lili but I feel like every other time you want creatures in the yard anyways. Plus digging through the top 5 is just more efficient for finding vengeance/through the breach than scry 2
>>47886552
I haven't played with/against any in a long time but werewolves are probably the most technically interesting tribe MTG has to offer.
>>47886855
Looking at Ulrich, there might be some baller werewolves to play with from the new set.
>>47881634

Even fucking AznEyes is a better gook card channel.
Alright boys I'm building Dredge in legacy, so the question is: Original border or new boarder?
>>47888734
>dredge
Why play a deck that gets completely shit on by a single low cost card?
>>47885382
>Ulamog seems like a more consistent game winner
It seems right versus control and still a certain colored control (mindslave a grixis is sweet, an esper is shit)
>>47886552
They might be fun but they definitely aren't viable in modern.
>>47888734
Old border, it's not like dredge's pile of bulk isnt expensive once you have LEDs, go foil while you're at it, the busted commons from RAV aren't too pricey.
Also make sure you get Future Sight Bridges. It sounds like one of those stupid spergy "pro tips," but it is legitimately nice to be able to quickly and accurately count your Bridges when there's a cardboard equivalent of a dumpster fire spread out in front of you.

Here I am on BGx flavors, trying to dodge Tron and figure out what the fuck my opponents deck is trying to meme me with each round before there's 50 goblins up my ass or the combo players start stroking.
Its a blast, and playing to grind and race every game works fairly well, but what kind of build/sideboard should I run for meme.meta?
Should I go the GP route and play with safe options that shore up what I think Ill see?
Or just load up a 15 shot revolver with silver bullets and hope I draw the right memeslayer?
How viable is this card in Modern?
>>47876590
>that would be ugly as fuck
>>47890650
What the fuck is considered "non-meme"? BGx variants?
>>47890650
>haha I will just call everything a meme then maybe I'm funny
nice meme you memelordmemes
>>47890650
Your meta sounds fuckin' swell. I myself am brewing all sorts of dank memedecks. I play Esper Spirits tribal, Gitrog Loam Dredgevine and a Bant Planeswalker / Enchantment based deck named Oathkeepers after the Oath cycle in OGW.
That said, to survive in the meme jungle of the meme meta, you gotta single out the alpha memes, the ones that consistently top at FNM. Those are the ones you are most likely to go against at later rounds if you win your matches.
Its also important to sideboard specifically for the decks yours is at a disadvantage with, doubly so if they are dominant too. You don't sideboard for the decks your deck can take on by itself after all.
It's important to have a failsafe in your sideboard that constitutes a general answer to a variety of threats. Since I don't have to worry about neither control nor aggro I have a couple answers for Affinity, Lantern Control and Tron specifically and answers to combo and midrange in particular.
So yeah, it's neither approach, but a mix of both.
>>47890650
>Melira
>Jeskai
>Zoo
>Eldrazi
>Fishfucks
So T1/T2 decks are memes?
>>47876590
There's what like 10 cards total that would have this
>>47885261
Because they run abrupt decay and funny fetch like retards. You don't always get moon.
Turn 3 rhino into wilt leaf top buff it is difficult to deal with. It's not removal the deck, either.
>>47890650
>ad nauseam
>meme
Well, I suppose it is a meme deck despite being tier 2.
>>47890681
Could be decent. Depends on if whether or not any more eldrazi tribal spells will be printed.

>Nahiri Jeskai meme deck now putting up 0 results

Is this just damage control from people that bought that shitty planeswalker?

It's okay. Most of the hype is or was from starved draw go control players.
>>47893546

I'm playing since invasion. I learned back then to hate all draw-go shitters. There's no wrong way to play, but almost all the draw go players I ever met acted like assholes with superiority complex.

Noob question here.
Was this card ever experimented on in Jund/Abzan/Mardu to replace bob ?
Decent effect as you often end up empty handed with these decks and you can pitch it to Lili plus ability.
As anyone tried it ? Also, what do you think of Madness cards in general in decks that run Lili ?
Anyone bought stuff to Villa Zheng ? Are his prints good ? How much does he charges ? How fast his delivery is ?
I can't afford a playset of real Goyfs...
>>47894669
Why do you type like a caveman
>>47894554
More situational than bob. Asylum visitor makes you loose 1 life no matter if what and jund is pretty low to the ground so the it's not really better than bob in any way.
>>47882100
I know you are on a budget list here but you should at least consider getting a full playset of Collonades. You NEED more win conditions.
Generally speaking, trying to build UW control on a budget usually ends up doing horribly wrong.
Also, Quicken and Spell Snare are really odd in this deck and feel completely out of place. You should replace them with more counterspells and/or card draw. You also want to drop two condescend and run the full playset of Paths mainboard.
As for your sideboard, you need graveyard hate badly. Tormod Crypt is a good card if you are in a tight budget. You might also want a couple Stony Silence but these are expensive. You might want to try Kataki instead but he doesn't fit your deck very much.
>>47894760
It's late, I'm busy eating, English isn't my mother tongue, this is an anonymous imageboard. Plenty of reasons.
>>47894819
>it's not really better than bob in any way
Well it has Madness, that's why I was asking in the first place.
Also it can draw you 2 cards if both you and your opponent are hellbent.
>>47895073
You're never hellbent on turn 2 or 3
As someone who plays modern casually with friends but /might/ play fnm at a shop is it worth it looking into a tournament-tier deck? I feel like I would get decimated by my friends if they weren't playing tournament style decks too.

This. Fuck control players. They are always assholes with superiority complexes. "Im too smart to play those braindead aggro decks".
Their tears over JtMS being banned and there being no "true control deck" always makes me cum so fucking hard I love it
Why is Liliana considered so good in Jund ? Her +1 is awkward to use and while her -2 is good, if your opponent is playing a deck that goes wide it's gonna be unimpactful at best.
Am I missing something here ? why is she so good ?
>>47897280
Hand pressure through discard
>>47894473
>all the draw go players I ever met acted like assholes with superiority complex.
It's not their fault that you're so inferior.
>>47897280
It's very easy to take control of the game with her and a few other discard spells eating the opponents hand. Slam a goyf and activate your raging ravine when she's on the field and you've pretty much got the game
>>47897488
But you are hitting yourself too in the process, so you don't generate any advantage throught this.
I get that if she is left unharmed you threaten to ult her but this is a painfully slow process for a format that quick and it requires you to allready be ahead.
Most importantly, why don't Jund runs cards that would benefit from being discarded if it runs 3 or even 4 copies of Lili ? Isn't it a missed opportunity to generate a beneficial use of Lili's discard ability. Thinking of cards with flashback or stuff like Squee, Goblin Nabob.

Sometimes he's good. Other times he tries to be super deep about his basement flooding.
>>47898168
I can't stand his humor. Just rubs me the wrong way I don't know why.
Shame because he seems knowledgeable on the game.
He sucks WOTC's cock a bit much tho. But nothing as bad as TMS

he's got some really cringy stuff too though. like some of his EDH deck techs.

Is that alot to you? Is this bait?
>>47898418
Get the swiftspears and Eidolons first. Then you should try building up the mana base from this point.
>>47898168
He makes some bad content like the TCG Player tutorial, the MTGO tutorial and that scummy shit with PucaTrade.

If your allowance is that generous, perhaps you should hire an English tutor. As I understand it, one even has his own MTG channel on Youtube.
>>47898653
Typo on my phone. Sorry you're poor and obviously angry at the world
>>47897720
that's exactly the point of jund, destroy board presence and hand with 1 on 1 trades, lili costs little and lets you do that while your opponent is stuck trying to kill her because nobody can ignore her, unless they are playing combo and win in the next turn.Jund is very redunant and you just need to keep trading until you have the edge.
>>47898653
It's called having a job.
I am new to MTG and want to get a booster box just for the hell of it, no more than 120 dollars any recommendations?
I was considering just getting a box of Shadows Over Innistrad so i could have some standard cards.
>>47898819
>unless you are playing combo
Combo or that piece of shit UW fog deck I'm starting to see pop up at my LGS every now and then
>>47899041
No. Cracking packs is only good if you're drafting. Cracking boxes is fun when you draft it with friends. You can buy standard staples with 120 freedom bux.
Thoughts on this boy?
Pondering throwing it into a Jund tokens deck, but indecisive.
>>47899103
I don't think it's worth it
>>47899103
Woops.
>>47899088
I am going to buy a box regardless.
So what box should i get?
>>47899147

No thanks.
So I'm putting together a mardu Deck. Heres what I'm running, ant tips?
2 Planeswalkers:
2 Nahiri
9 Creatures:
4 young Pyro
2 kalitas
1 Emrakul aeons torn
2 tasigur
30 Spells:
4 Lingering
4 path
2 helix
2 Thoughtseize
4 inquisition
4 bolt
2 terminate
4 looting
4 crackling doom
19 Lands:
2 blood crypt
2 godless shrine
2 Sacred Foundry
4 wooded foothills*
4 bloodstained mire
1 planes
1 swamp
1 shambling vents
1 Lavaclaw reaches
1 vault of the archangel
*(foothills cause I don't have money for arid mesa yet)
10 Sideboard:
2 wrath of god
2 solfire grand master
4 molten rain
1 grafdigger cage
1 torpor orb
>>47899637
You probably need more lands. Like 23 at least.
>>47899637
How the fuck do you plan on winning the game? You literally cannot defend Nahiri, if you can even reliably get her out on 19 lands.
>>47899682
His curve is so low other than like 3 four drops. 23 is too much
>>47899630
you need to see proto-innistrad for yourself
>>47899682
>over 20 Lands
>in any noncommander deck
>ever
>>47899718
See all the removal, smart guy?
>>47899731
The top end isn't very high but he doesn't have any deck manipultion, and you don't really want to miss land drops early in a deck like that.
>>47899718
Removing my opponents threats and playing dank creatures?
>>47899637
>4 looting
I don't understand why
A full set of crackling doom seems too much
>>47899637
I'd honestly run 2 Vault of the Archangels with that many tokens.
>>47899968
And you'd honestly be mana screwed quite often
>>47899759
>>47899798
Your main wincon is a 2-of, and the only way you have to defend her is chumping with Peezy or hoping you have enough Paths for any given Tarmogoyf or x/4.
When a creature that doesn't die to Bolt can lock you out in a format where good creatures have to not die to Bolt, you aren't in a good spot.
Also lol at 4 4-drops, 2 Tasigurs, and 4 Souls in a 19 land deck.
>>47899984
Says the faggot running manlands. Abzan runs Vault + Gavony Township without getting choked, and Vault is just too good with Young Pyromancer too. Consider Grim Lavamancer too, since Vault works with his ping.
>>47890650
>No Wizard Tribal
>No all in Red
>No Emeria Control
Holy shit do you even meme bro?
>>47900085
Not even him
Manlands tap for colours, friendo.
Abzan also runs mana dorks
>>47900121
Abzan didn't always. In the times when it didn't, it still ran Vault + Township. Like nigger it's TWO colourless land. The deck shouldn't be running 4 Crackling Dooms in the first place. Nothing else is tough enough on your mana for it to matter. If you only have 2 land you're up shit creek anyway.
>>47900076
>crackle
>Terminate
???
>>47900076
Clearly we both play in different metas. I will admit you have some strong points but for the most part you aregayandwrong.
Tassigur is a dope play for 1 mana and delve. Kalitas makes tokens and buffs himself. Nahiri also let's me draw cards. It's not just about dropping the spaghetti, but it's a nice fall back plan if someone leaves me alone.
>>47899637
Maybe Kolaghan command?
>>47900326
Considered it. Probably gonna pick up a playset. Definately going to cut down crackling doom to 2 and maybe bring in solfire Grandmaster main board. Shoulda also clarified I just have a playgroup and a local FNM group as well. Im not gonna be taking this to GP. I mean I'm all for spending money on fun cardboard but GP just seems like a lot of work and money for very little pay off. Especially since I'd have to travel to attend.

I was thinking that Wasteland strangler would be redundant with all these exilers when I was building, in retrospect I shouldn't have put 8 Fisher Punters in.
>>47900798
No. We hate custom card fags that fish for yous
Would a card like this be balanced in modern?
>>47900798
I just hate custom card fags.
>>47901032
There are entire threads just for this bullshit. Why are you posting here instead of your containment thread??
>>47899147

>>47900901
Oh. Yeah I hat that shit too. I also hate alters. Not sure how people feel about that here though.
>>47901032
>>>/anywhere but here/
>>47901032
The real question is whether or not Modern wants a card like this. We're not concerned with balance anymore in Modern; Modern has Bolt, Thoughtseize, and Path to Exile - it's already at high power level.
Your card itself is just a value card. You might as well be asking if Modern needs Brainstorm or whether Preordain should be unbanned as they, like your card, are just outright value cards. In that way it's no different than Lightning Bolt or Thoughtseize.
Ultimately, Modern doesn't want your card and I say that because if it's good enough it's only going to make something better instead of making something new. Because Modern's problems aren't going to be solved by introducing outright good cards like Jace Mind Sculptor or Swords to Plowshares or even Wasteland.
>>47899306
>There's this guy that brings a wooden abacus. Real fancy.
Thats pretty fucking autistic anon.
>>47901164
Is Daze still overpowered for Modern (I assume Force is too powerful)? Does it even want it?
>>47901473
Disrupting shoal should be played more in modern.
>>47900178
I didnt see the Terminates, but it's still a pretty thin plan when you're getting grinded out and have nothing to realistically stick on the board, or are getting flooded and can't crack back.
Also top fucking kek at 4 Cracking Doom and 4 Lingering Souls in a 19 land deck. Kommand too much value for you?
>>47900273
>Tassigur is a dope play for 1 mana and delve. Kalitas makes tokens and buffs himself.
Tasigur is very rarely straight 1 mana, and if he is, he's probably not enough to come back considering you cant use his ability in Mardu. You're better off with Gurmag, at least he threatens Goyfs usually.
Kalitas and Nahiri are hilarious. You don't have enough land to reliably hit Kalitas, let alone land him on curve. Kalitas is only strong if you can use him on the back of removal to cinch tempo and crack back, which you aren't doing on 19 lands.
Just you mentioning Kalitas' sac ability makes me think you don't know what you're doing, I don't think Ive ever seen that used outside of Standard. Even Jund's mana is too constrained for reliable use of it, and Jund runs 24.
>>47897280

Okay, so wtf happened to mtgo tournaments?

>>47886093
the best way to get a deck is to buy singles, dont but packs unless you are drafting with them at the store, try to buy from the store if the prices are decent to develop a relationship with the people there and play often, drafting at first to get back into mechanics and then picking a format, then choose a playstyle you like and go from there
>>47901967
You're so wrong
>>47900798
Everyone who isn't a reddit or under 18 hates the professor, he's a nu-male who thinks he's hot shit because he dresses like a professor and talks like he's actually 700 years old or some shit. Pretentious fuck

super secret anti-phyrexian revoker tech
ssshhhh
Looking at the mtgoldfish bw budget tokens. What would you guys trade out for thoughtseize/inquisition of koz and bitter blossom. Also anyone know how this deck matches up against from?
Why does blue suck in modern?
>>47903751
Not him but you should focus your gameplan and pick what kind of deck you want to play. If you're on the nahiri plan, you should play 4 nahiri's and play more lands and cards like painful truths for card advantage.. If you're playing tokens, you should play low to the ground with dark confidant and monastery mentor. Faithless looting is a bad card that you shouldn't play and crackling doom is a 2 of at most.
Bloodstained mire and marsh flats should be your fetches because you want swamp turn 1 for inquisition. Your sideboard needs tons of work, look at the good white sideboard cards like Stony Silence, RIP, Timely Reinforcements, and Ghostly prison.
>>47903970
What's a nu-male?
>>47899472
Listen to this man.
>>47904631
Not that guy but thank you for actual advice.
>>47901967
Curb is fine. Maybe you got shit luck with your lands but I never run more than 20 in a deck.
>>47899170
Why 9th?
>>47899189
Not really lucky, I did pull a Jace recently tho from my first Eternal masters pack. But im seriously thinking about getting a BFZ box. I like cool lands.
>>47899205
That is like a 300 dollar box tho
>>47899211
Very much considering shawdows over innistrad.
>>47899280
I would need to take out a bank loan for a box of that but thanks for the suggestion.
>>47899472
Maybe someday to collect. if its a decent price
>>47901064
This box is 800 dollars.
Basically what im going to do is buy boxes and put the cards i get in a binder for now, 1 binder per set. A lot of the appeal to MTG for me is collecting so opening boxes and putting the cards away is fun, I am trying to learn to play as well.
>>47873809
Except Mindslaver costs 10 to cast and activate, whereas this card can easily cost under 10, and it also nets you a 13/13 flying trample creature that allows you to kill at least one of their creatures (swing into him during their turn), he can't be hit by Swords or Path or virtually every other good removal spell in any eternal format, and his total cost can go down to, what? 6? Easily can be a one of in any slow modern deck as an ezpz win con.
>thinking this card is bad because its not the best card ever
>>47906245
You're literally wasting your money. Literally every single card you unpack save maybe 1 in an entire box is going to be completely worthless.
Get lots of format staples if you absolutely have to fill binders with shit. Binder bulk does absolutely nothing but waste people's time looking through it and showcase that you make bad financial decisions.
>>47906438
This. I'm like this. Bought 2 boxes of inistrad. Ended up with 5 pretty confident decks. 2 of which are easily competitive. A at human deck and a rb madness deck. I'm tempted to buy another box as I'll probably complete the other decks too.
I'll be doing the same for eldritch moon too. It's not about having a show case of cards for me but decks. I like deck building and having multiple decks to play with just for fun.
Anyone here playing time walk.dec? Mono blue or white blue?
>>47906626
You could have bought those decks for literally 1/4th of the price if you had just ordered the singles you wanted.
>>47906438
Playing magic to make money is a poor financial decision in general dude, I just want to collect cards and learn a game, opening packs and boxes is fun even tho it is not the most efficient way of getting cards and building a competitive deck. Also the people I play with are happy to look through collections.
It seems that you and I have a completely different mind set on collectible trading card games, I appreciate the feedback tho.
>>47906626
Collecting your way seems fun, adding themes sleeves and deck boxes to your decks would add a lot of character to the collection.

What sort of shitty keyboard are you using that still allows people to talk about the mystical alot beast?
Are any of these work getting?
Its a guy selling single packs on my local craigslist.
>>47907167
Probably not since they won't have any money cards. I know a couple years back some people figured out a pattern on which pack in a booster box contains what card. It's called box mapper or something. It's why when you bring your own 3 packs to draft you have to mix and shuffle them with the rest of the packs that's gonna be drafted.
