Worry bout that land destruction mayn. Theres no land hand disruption
>>
>>44140127
I always play tower last but stupor and blackmail can sometimes take your land. Really crazy people might use burning inquiry. It's not likely, but it is possible
>>
>>44140169
Good points, but personally I always feel land destruction as more of a threat.
And also, if you need to tap two lands to get out your third Urza Land, you want to have as much mana as possible when Tron is online
>>
>>44140169
There's also fulminator mage to worry about

>>44140230
But other than fulminator, what land destruction exists?
>>
>>44140246

Ghost quarter
>>
>>44140261
Oh yeah thats right
yeah run the one you have the most of first, but who plays ghost quarter turns 1-3 unless you know its against tron, but who runs more than like 2 at most?
>>
>>44140169
3/4 of a Hymn for 3 is probably too slow, huh?

Still, time spiral block always has something that surprises me.

>>44140246
Ghost Quarter I guess, crumble to dust if things get hateful, Beast within. Not a whole lot either but I'd say moreso worrysome than discard

Let's imagine that I'm a huge waifufag weeb. What deck should I play in modern? Hatebears?
>>
>>44139731
The Tron player should always try to play Tower before the others so that it is more likely to get hit by land destruction than the others. If the Tron player needs to tap out to find and play another Tower, then they would have 3 mana available whereas the other two lands would produce only two.
>>
yeah my favorite deck is random rares
>>
>>44140312
If they see you dig for it then you're already probably playing it later than the others, depending on your opening hand

Hatebears has great waifus like Thalia and Flickeriwsp

I mean, all your land fetches require you to reveal what you searched for, so if you're fetching for a Tron piece it generally means you don't have it, but you can't really sequence at that point anyway...

>>44140468
I guess dig was the wrong word, I'm just saying by turn 3+ you are more likely to have drawn into your turn 3+ land than your T1/2 lands, meaning you are more likely to have not had your turn 3+ land in your opener.
They realize this and try to kill your 3rd piece assuming it was the hardest to get, thus having multiples of your third is a good idea
>>
>>44140518
>5 mana sorcery that doesn't win the game and can even set you back
No.
>>
>>44140518
Nah, at least in T1 decks, but the mechanic has a lot of potential

As always with new spells matter stuff, I'm hoping for a decent modern playable cantrip.
>>
>>44140392
I was assuming one of each of the Urza lands in the opening hand since the prompt is allowing us to choose the order.
>>
>>44140518
No.
>>
>>44140577
Yea i agree with the multiples thing, see what you're saying with queing up thirds
Sequencing is still really dependent on how you draw, whether you have eggs or digs, ect.
>>
>>44140577
This thinking works assuming they can't see your hand but most decks have targeted discard or git probe so odds are they'll be able to get a read on what you're doing.
>>
>>44139731

Plant > Mine > Tower

You need Urza's Power Plant to power up the machines in Urza's Mine so they can harvest the raw materials needed so you can construct Urza's Tower so you can finally oversee all your production.

Rug prowess. It doesn't want tentacles, but it's probably the best deck to trigger surge.

I wanna get back in but I need a deck,

Let me say this, I am a sadist.

I really enjoy decks that cause tears, it doesn't need to be meta but I need tears flowing,

I play YGO online and use multiple Exodia variants because they produce maximum tears.

Delverbro here, got my sideboard purchased today so I'm pretty stoked.

I realize redirect is strictly better, but my landbase is a bit fucked so I prefer the UR cost to the UU cost. Plus my friend (and most burn decks) only has single target stuff so it works out okay.
Plus it's called swerve like how pimpin is that I mean c'mon
>>44142748
I'll post the list in a sec, pretty happy with it tho minus a conundrum I'm having on mainboarding 1 or 2 dispel.

Also got Ral Zarek today for casual. Keranos a shit, Ral is a boss

Bottom is the 15 I'm thinking of taking (no bullying my swerve pls)
>>
>>44143075
why annul?
Why four of them?
Also why a roast and a rending volley?
Also Keranos totally fucks Ral up senpai
>>
>>44143075
Spreading seas are there for da tron matchup (although my friend has moons if I need to borrow em). Could add a molten rain instead. Annuls, idk they seem stronk, could replace with smash to smithereens or something.

Flashfreeze and swerve can be replaced if you guys have any suggestions. Was gonna get a second rending volley but they were out of stock :(
>>
>>44143102
Roast because fuck rhinos/goyfs, I hate big creatures so much.
Rending to counter twin

Annuls are for affinity, basically my line of thought is t1 they drop memnite/thropter/drum/all that jazz, t2 they drop the thing that kills me, so a 1 mana hard counter seemed cool. Again I'm on the fence about em being replaced with smash.
I probably won't put in 4, only 2, but they seem stronk as fuck for some reason.

I like Rals style, Keranos is untouchable and actually a viable sb but does he have a FUCKIN COIN FLIP ULT?!

Also maybe it sees no play because of attitudes like that.
It seems niche as fuck, absolutely, I mean it has to be niche when it's a 1-mana hardcounter. I'd only take it out vs affinity though, so would it really be *that* ineffective? I agree it'd be nice to have something that deals with artifacts on the board too, like a smash to smithereens, but I still don't get why 2 annul would be bad in that matchup...
>>
>>44143720
Naya company. I think Knightfall is going to overtake it one day and I definitely think Gruul Zoo is better than it.

>>44143661

>>44143661
Why does Lantern Control never show up on these lists?

I have a 73% win rate with it overall. Nearly 100% in some matchups. It's a good deck.

There's just better SB options for Affinity over Annul.
There's no reason to waste a slot on Annul

>>
>>44143506
Right, gotcha. Although that might be a little too cute.
>>
>>44143985
Birds is p shit but you want 5 mana dorks to be more reliable
You also don't really need that many companies, the deck is either hyper aggro, win turn 3 or it's playing a tedious game of guessing and navigating.

>>44144004
Love it, having an instant spell that exiles is pretty much what keeps me in games. Takes care of Tron's engines, Twin from going off, big Goyf, Titan, all that shit and since it's one mana it doesn't get countered by spell snare (dispel sucks though) and by the time other decks can use it I can deal with their answers.
The deck as a whole has some good matchups against high-tier decks simple because it can just either out-speed them or because it can just send in more creatures than the opponent has counterspells or burn. Turn 2 4/4's are no laughing matter, especially when most people start the game at 17 life.

The learning curve really isn't that steep though. Sure you have to understand how other decks work, and be able to tell what their threats are. But shouldn't you already know the main meta decks anyways?

The stigma would make sense. And many people do think me an asshole for playing it. And that many people hate playing against it.

But I actually enjoy playing against it. I enjoy trying to find ways around the lock.

Heres a question for you, MTG:MG. I built storm, and I talked about it on here a while back, and had a shitfit about how it went from tier-1 to tier-trash over the few year span I took to build it.

Would it be a good idea to run Quicken and Layline of anticipation so I could cast Days undoing or even combo out on my opponents turn, or would running Izzet Charm mainboard be a good idea, granted its casting cost for this kind of deck is a little difficult, but its three modes are all useful, and how do y'all feel abouta single Banefire in place of a grapeshot?
>>
>>44146931
None of those ideas are good. Maybe izzet charm sb for canonists or something, its kill mode is the only reason you would want it at all.
>>
>>44143803
I'd rather Steel Sabotage as it's strictly better vs affinity but I also like how it can also deal with GW auras
Pros for annul/sabotage vs kill spells:
-only 1 mana
-stops etched champion
-goes over welding jar/spellskite/modular

Are there any other decks that run off enchantments? DnT? Probably not worth it for twin, since the combo isn't crutial to their plan.

I've played almost all of these:

Affinity = my favorite
Burn = okay
Jund = nice
RG Tron = fun, but no thanks
UR Twin = okay
Amulet Bloom = sometimes fun, too inconsistent
Merfolk = meh
Grixis Twin = 2nd favorite
Infect = okay
Abzan = nope, too fair
Scapeshift = very nice
Naya Company = boring
Grixis Control / Midrange = okay
Living End = okay
Gruul Zoo = alright
Bogles = fuck that, way too narrow
Abzan Company = haven't played it, don't care
Ad Nauseum = no
Knightfall = never played this, but it sucks in testing
Temur Twin = 3rd favorite
Elves = hell no, this deck blows

Somewhat. What he really means is if your deck isn't a tier 1 deck but has a great matchup against a tier 1 deck that happens to be the "best" deck at the moment then yeah you can do quite well.

May as well just throw in Tasigur.

At least it kills Goyf's potential.
>>
>>44150199
Tasigur is garbage in multiples, which isn't what I think Delver wants. You can easily run Goyf as a 4-of, not so with Bananaman.
>>
>Decks that run Tasigurs and Goyfs side by side
disgusting
>>
>>44150328
Nah, you choose one or the other.

Personally I think that Tasigur works better since it uses your graveyard and can return spells to you if needed. Also he isn't as vulnerable to bolts.

Plus going black means that you can run things like Terminate and Murderous cut.

>>
>>44151188
This seems like the level of garbage wizards would release
>>
>>44150694
Here's what I would release:
Karn Liberated
Cranial Plating
Inkmoth Nexus
Path to Exile
Thalia, Guardian of Thraben
Lord of Atlantis
Serum Visions
Inquisition of Kozilek
Living End
Lightning Bolt
Grim Lavamancer
Splinter Twin
Summer Bloom
Collected Company
Abrupt Decay

This added up to about $135 on TCGplayer, so the MSRP would probably be $150.
>>
>>44151533
>Thalia, Guardian of Thraben
Replace with Avenue Mindcensor
>>
>>44151533
>Thalia
>Modern
Also reprinting Summer Bloom doesn't seem like something they would allow given that it's a card that goes against what they want modern to be.
>>
>>44151562
Oops. Mindcensor is a good suggestion.

>>44151570
The other option for that slot is Scapeshift. To include Scapeshift, I'd probably need to lower the value somewhere else, probably by cutting nexus for Ghost Quarter.
>>
>>44151357
It's sad but true, they aren't going to reprint cards that sell for serious amounts of money in a readily available collection and if they did, stores would mark them up massively anyway.
>>
>>44151533
I would take out Karn and throw in Grove of the Burnwillows.

That card has no reason to be at $50+
>>
>>44151747

I think Grove was already in a FtV set.
>>
>>44151819
Well shit, it was.

In that case replace Karn with Oblivion Stone imo.

This anon >>44151896 is partially wrong, the big spike happened in August when in a modern SCG event GR Tron both won the event, was one of the top played decks in day 2 and the top8 had 2 or 3 copies of the deck in it.

He'll almost never be a creature.
The only R/B deck that's good is Jund, and you're probably never have enough Devotion to turn him on.
His effect just isn't that good either.
>>
>>44151863
He's interesting but where would he fit in?
>>
>>44151863
>Modern
>only 4 mana
Back to the kitchentable with you. Also he is just bad Sulfuric Vortex, too expensive for burn and doesn't fit into anything else. Not to mention that he is a choice card which is inherently bad and he just straight up doesn't do anything against certain deck like tokens.
>>
>>44152047
I dunno. Some control shell. Maybe if that snow deck splashes black? He puts a real clock on grindy matches
>>
>>44152112
Do you even play modern or just shitpost?
4 mana is incredibly doable
>>
>>44152123
Keranos does it better.
>>
>>44152123
He does but so does Kerenos and he just does it better.
>>
>>44152162
>>44152163
Keranos is blue
>>
>>44152153
You don't say "only" you retard, 4 is at the end of the curve for most decks with a splash of one to three 5 drops.

Implying that a 4 mana spell is cheap in modern is just plain retarded.

No. Don't rely on them and don't play subpar ones.
