Blue Moon.

I don't know what the answer is but I know the market thinks its Fulminator Mage

I want to play a deck in Jeskai colors.
Is UWr control legit for FNM level of play?

accidentally posted this in the last one but what would be the cost of building merfolk if i already have Aether viles? I am currently stuck between Merfolk or Instant Reanimator for what deck to play next.

>>44875065

Your daily reminder that Tron is essentially a colorless deck, and that control decks can't close against it even if you shut off the ramp.

The Wurmcoils crawling up your ass don't care how many lands were tapped to play them, or what colour they were.

Tron is immune to discard and holds the best inevitability in the format. Spell Piercing a Karn or Ugin was only cheeky when you could punish them for tapping out with Twin the next couple turns. You're going to run out of countermagic long before he runs out of threats, and even if you don't you still have to win the game.

>>44875051
stax/mud when?

>>44875132
Soooooo what you're saying is I shouldn't bring Grixis control to a local tournament this Saturday. I should bring burn.

>>44875132
Moving karn from turn 3 to turn 10 is a pretty decent thing to do. Pushing back wurm by almost that much is the same too. Also by the time engine comes down you'll practically be able to steal it with shackles.

>>44875189

This is assuming you don't just flat out lose to a resolved Karn on T3, or he practically wins by popping a rock/floating mana and wiping it out with one of the half dozen options for artifact/enchantment removal Tron now has free.

>>44875186
As someone that plays all flavours of grixis, definately take burn

>>44875186
I am already dismantling my grixis and shifting to Jeskai Aggro. Take the burn List.

Tfw loam pox is good in the meta. Tfw 8rack is also very well positioned.

>>44875051
Ghost Quarter -> Surgical Extraction on one of the lands is the best I can do in Esper Control. That slows him down a lot and stops Emrakul from hitting the field. I can deal with Wurmcoil/Karn/Ugin/Newlamog if I have time to sculpt a hand and make land drops.

>>44875065
Blue Moon is a bad deck because aside from bouncing something with cryptic and then countering it again (probably with another cryptic because by the time you have the mana to do this Mana Leak will be dead) you can't deal with resolved threats that don't die to bolt. Grixis/UWR/Esper all have hard removal in the main and better sideboard options for noncreature permanents.

Should I be picking up goblin gudes now? Been thinking about building burn lately.

The the meta is aggro. Whatever you are doing make sure you can apply pressure and a clock. I forsee all decks changing this way.

>>44875484
Should have picked them up during the hype after the MM2 announcement like I did. $55 for a playset, best decision I ever made.

I haven't played for like 3 years. I'm bringing my old monoblue faeries deck to a local tournament this weekend. Aside from the usual problem that aggro poses, anything I should particularly beware or otherwise plan on having adjust my sideboard to combat?

>>44875051
Would reprinting invigorate make infect viable?

The metagame without twin is going to be gross

>but my tier 6 brew might be top tier now with twin gone!!!!

lmao

>>44876368
Infect is T1 now because it destroys Tron, what are you on about? Invigorate would make it the best deck in the format by far, you'd win T2 like 50% of games.

>>44876395
Then why isn't it viable in legacy.

>>44876368
>invigorate make infect viable

Infect was already viable. Invigorate would make it broken.

>counterspell

Probably wouldn't change much. Control would still suck dick in modern until we get something like stoneforge or mind sculptor

Everytime I see this pic I forget it's a jumpscare.

JUST VISITING THIS THREAD TO SAY YOU'RE A MOTHERFUCKER, HAVE A NICE DAY.

>>44876395
Not him, and I'm not saying Invigorate should be reprinted, but I really don't think the metagame is as simple as you think it is.

Spellskite is still a thing that gives Infect headaches, for example. Moreover, aggressive strategies was always Tron's worst ones. Twin on the other hand was pretty easy for Tron to deal with, especially near the end, and Twin did a lot to hose many aggressive strategies.

>>44875704
wow you were in the same position i was two days ago. Buy them now t.b.h fa.m

>>44876368
I want Price of Progress in Eternal Masters.

>>44876643

Could you imagine if instead of unbanning Twin, they just declared Modern a T3 format, unbanned blue's toys, and reprinted Counterspell and Price?

Legacy Burn is already just Modern Burn + Price and duals, so it really wouldn't take much to get the aggro decks on a T3 clock.

>>44876727
Doesn't legacy have chain lightning too?

This. I'd rather play a thousand Twin g2/3s than a single match vs burn or infect that rips the god draw.

>>44877157
Why the two Unsummons? I get that you don't lose the life if you want to save one of your lords, but that seems very negligible while the extra damage a Snag gets in does not in an aggressive deck.

>>44877371
Not very, most decks are half their paper prices more or less but there are quite a few instances where certain cards are more expensive online than they are offline.

>>44877371
I automatically assumed that spoiler was modern, let me re-word and say that Pauper is virtually free if you're not playing T1.

>>44877371

Is it worth it? I mean this seriously. Don't you have to burn an Angel's Grace to be safe? What happens if you hit Lightning Storm?

>>44877519
It's a pretty solid tier2 deck. Great matchups against combo, alright against shardless. It's about 50/50 against Grub Delver.

>>44878540
Spoils is always worth it. You just run two lightning storms and you're fine. If you end up having a really shitty spoils and exile like half of your deck and hit too many lands/spirit guides then you weren't going to win anyway.

Memedrazi seems like a horrible matchup for Ad Nauseam though. They run discard and can process our lotus blooms.

>>44878612
I run 1 Conjurer's Bauble in the main; it's been clutch many times when I draw Storm and they Thoughtseize it. If I dump the Peer (I can't remember how many I run) should I add 1 Storm and 2-3 Spoils?

No, it's way too vulnerable to removal. Even the grixis goryo Kiki deck is just straight trash

>>44878835
Might wanna post a link that works.

You should run the spoils version, or at least try it. It is so much better and more consistent.

Will Hatebears become tier 2 now?

>>44879065

Your responsibility, anon. Also, that's just current jund with G and W switched. Not very original and goyf just seems like a better option.

>>44878911
American Gifts may be a fun alternative. If an opponent taps out you Gifts EoT and reanimate Kiki-Jiki on Turn 5.

Really it just means your surprise win is slower and isn't as compact. Viable at T2, but no longer T1

>>44879212
Damn. The funny thing is I don't even own the deck I just really was intent on building it because I love the Izzet from Ravnica and the deck fit that perfectly. I have a lot of pieces but thankfully the pieces I have bought slot into scapeshift more then Twin (I have a set of Mistys but no Tarns). I guess it's time to let Twin rest or maybe see how the diehard Twin players have altered it for the Pro Tour and at my LGS. I'll talk to the numerous Twin players this Friday and see what changes they've made.

Hi anons
I wanna enter into modern, but I only have around 180$ to build something. Is there aanything semi-competitive i can build with that budget?

>>44879515
Keep saving and buy into burn. Imo senpai

It filters as spam

Also lel >original

We're not trying to be special snowflake but just do variants in working strats

Also this deck handles burn better, while also destroying Jund. Also probably has a better affinity matchup than Abzan due to kolaghans command. Likely does better than Jund versus infect as well due to lingering souls

The topdeck game is strong with abbot

>>44879235
Bad in ad nauseam because you have to pay life as opposed to losing it. Plus there is the risk of over or under drawing with that card and it costs more.

Not that guy, but more V-Clique leads to even worse blowouts from Pyroclasm, and Cryptic can be kind of harsh with a 3-color manabase that's not centered on blue.

>>44881041
I hope a piece gets banned but it's hard to say which piece should. Maybe map should get banned, they can still use chromatics + stirring but can no longer get that reliable t3 7 mana.


Idk Trons fine if you play aggro though, god bless burn.
2 bloodmoons, 4 skullcracks in the sb, maybe some attarkas/dpalm/smashs.
If you can stop the wurmcoil's swing you're golden, pyroclasm doesn't hurt too much and Karn is pretty much a Raven's Crime vs it. Another way to stop the wurmcoil's lifegain is to chump block then burn your own creature. If you can stop that +6 life you'll win, if you can't, scoop that shit up because there's no way to race a wurmcoil.

what's the best version of zoo atm?

>>44881152
More like

>in the wake of splinter twin being eliminated from the format, it has come to our attention that one deck aggressively generates mana to power out powerful threats. This deck challenges fair ways of generating mana, and therefore, to preserve the viability of fair cards like the urza lands, we are banning mox opal.

>>44881119
Because people used it for combo bullshit.

>>44875788
I love my legacy dredge deck. 50% of the time it is a turn 1 kill. the other 50% I have 30+ power worth of zombies and ichorids to out swarm any deck on T3.

>>44881287
Naya could still be strong if you sideboard properly, it's got white for leylines/paths, and red for aggro and land destruction and dank green creatures. It loses to combo pretty hard though, since it's not as fast as burn (which puts combo on a very short clock) and the midrange aspect of it fails to tron's midgame. Its not quite a rock or a paper or a scissors, rather it's like a paper-thin rock I guess. Still good but not 'meta'
IMO bantz is better, same beater plan as zoo with a combo to end things on the spot.

>>44881699
Yeah, mists is pretty good, that's what I'm running. Lili would be better against tron though.

>>44881630
I like to think that maindeck spellskite, SB rending volley and torpor orb were always the better option

>>44881699
well i will admit it is a well budget option, liliana's -2 is very useful against an eldrazi meta.

alright, thanks. I see a lot of budget lists running pack rat but it seems way too slow. I'm thinking about having 2-3 Nyxathid in the SB, in the hopes that they swap out any removal after game one

>>44882044
Pack Rat is amazing dude

>>44881901
I dont really like this list
Thought-knot seer and reality smasher are auto-includes
Blightherder is bad, and conduit of ruin is better than oblivion sower

>>44882044
>pack rat
>too slow

Son...

>>44882068
You don't really want TKS and Smasher in a processor build. They go in a different type of deck

>>44882068
So then link a list.

>>44882044
i have played 8rack for a year straight, first build was 35$ and built up to the complete version. For budget version i dont recommend pack rats because you do need sac and play smallpox aggresively on turn two. When you have the complete full built list i recommend adding packrats and taking out smallpox for lilianas. I still have 4 smallpox in the sideboard where liliana is too slow like burn for example and taking one of their lands is very important.

>>44881851
About 20 bucks on legacy ANT

>>44880192

Can you delay Tron long enough to kill it with GoST? I only see a single tectonic edge.

>>44882058
>>44882073
is it not? I've never played with it but 5 mana and a card to make 2 2/2s seems pretty poor. I get that it picks up steam quickly but still

>>44881826
>not enough reason

but return is 2R instant speed sweeper that most likely will trigger twice.

>>44881825
what do you play with BG?

>>44882135
You don't know how good it is until it's played against you.
Trust me, it's amazing

>>44882135
you can go very aggresive, packrats and nyxathid and ignore smallpox

>>44882135
like it seems like a limited bomb (which I understand it was, wasn't playing during RTR)
>>44882096
thanks a lot! what would you recommend in place of the rats? more discard/removal?

>>44882187
4 smallpox and 3 dismember if you want to go creatureless. If you like creatures 4 pack rats and 3 nyxathid. All these cards are very cheap so im pretty sure you can test choose one choice over the other after testing.

>>44882089

>>44879235
Plunge is way better in that deaths shadow deck

>>44882117
It's a midrange deck. So Tron's a pretty awful match up anyway.

tec edge or ghost quarter?

>>44881851
G/w hatebears
$400 initially(the kibler 2013 list)but I have two binders of green and white staples/sideboard cards that I brought over the 4 years playing that deck. It's the only deck I enjoy playing.

>>44882624
Ghost Quarter is superior to Tectonic Edge
Ghost Quarter:
+Pop Anytime
+They receive a basic land (if you hit tron with multiple Ghost Quarters they get time walked)
+Super Useful
Tectonic Edge:
-Requires opponent to have four or more lands (remember modern is a T4 format)

>>44882624
Always Ghost Quarter.

>>44881851
Around $600 on tooth and nail

>>44882218

4 Chalice of the Void

4 Mox Opal ("free" mana"

# Tron Lands

>>44882853
Sol lands that only work for Eldrazi though

>>44882708

Them receiving a basic land is a negative not a positive, but yeah I agree

>>44882880
Are there sol ring effects in modern to make the deck viable? Then again T3 going tron + Mox Opal into double lodestone golem (Legacy MUD esque).

>>44882916
Most people with exception to burn, and merfolk run only 2-4 basic lands.

If they fetch out [OR] play T1 basic then they are essentially down to 1-3.

>>44881851
About $500 on Legacy Leylines

>>44875647
>$55

I swear I got mine for like $32 total or something.

But this was... I want to say before Deathrite Shaman was a card? It was definitely a few years ago so of course I got mine at a good price. Burn back then was not quite the shit stomper it is now.

>>44881851
About $80 and it was Mono-Blue tron. Still need Chalice of the Void, but besides that it is done.

Everyone talks about these eldrazi decks but I never see any lists linked. Whats the win condition even?

>buy into mono-green infect (first modern deck), pick up everything but inkmoths for ~$50
>do reasonably well, put off buying a playset
>consider picking them up, they're gone up $10

I don't have the cash to grab a playset now, but they're only going up unless WotC goes back to Phyrexian shit, RIP.

>>44883011
80? Does your list contain oboro, ugin and urborg (the later for dismember and sunderino shenanigans)

>>44883111
Big fucking creatures hitting your opponent in the face
Processor lists run Ulamog as a finisher

>>44883114
You assume they would include Inkmoth Nexus in that Return set. Don't bet on that. Ever.

>>44882875
underrated post

>>44883122
Yup, opened 1 Ugin at pre-release and traded for another. Urborg had some from 2015 or whenever it was reprinted and Oboro is cheap or was when i got it. The most expensive thing were the Wurmcoil engines and O-stones.

>>44880798
BGx is pretty safe, there's nothing dominant about it and blows ass in the new meta

>>44883129
When I see the deck in action it seems like Ulamog is rather redundant in the deck. Often Blight Herders or Sowers will have taken over the game by themselves, and UB lists also have Drowner to keep potential blockers away.

>>44883331
That's why the future is tempo lists with Smasher and TKS as win conditions

>>44883111
http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/deck_search_result.asp?Format=Modern

Just look for eldrazi in the name.

>Whats the win condition even?
Usually pounding face with fatties pumped out quickly thanks to processing or RotE lands. Oblivion Sower in tandem with the eye of ugin and eldrazi temple help ramp up for newlamog as well. Once oath drops, I can see a lot of decks not even bothering with ramping with oblivion sower and instead gain tons of value from thought-knot seer, reality smasher and eldrazi mimic and the like.

>>44880896
Affinity, Infect and Burn are only safe because they take up the same niche in the meta as aggro decks, meaning that the meta is already diverse as far as Wizards are concerned because more than one aggro deck is viable.

Hopefully they learned their lesson after banning Nacatl though, that when just one type of aggro deck is played it might be because its the only aggro deck that can deal with the other decks in the format.

You're almost right. Splinter twin was designed to be a combo piece. It was released in the block just prior to Scars of Mirrodin. You know, the block Deceiver Exarch was printed in. They were fully aware of the interaction between the two.

>>44883678
forgot about it desu, cut the victim of nights, a funeral charm, and a wrench mind for 4x duress

>>44883551
liliana's caress is only good if you have it in your opening hand, it becomes useless in top deck mode.
Consider Waste Not in its place, which would give you more value if you have it early

>>44883765
necrogen mists is bad

So I guess this is the best place to ask. What was Wizards thinking/smoking when they made Wurmcoil? "Every color gets a ticket to value town"?

That was the point. Every color gets to slam a 6/6 for 6 with added abilities and the ability to 2-1 your opponents removal.

>You should be happy they did not make roast >do 6 damage instead of 5.

>>44883881
Not to mention you get to sphinx's rev for 15. Also, main board board wipes.

>>44883952
And then after you discard down to 7 cards in hand you can elixir of immortality and make sure you play all the cards you want. The best part your deck becomes all action and no fluff (lands).

>>44883929
4 Duress
4 Shrieking Affliction

4 Raven's Crime
4 Wrench Mind
4 Blackmail
3 Dismember
4 Smallpox
2 Funeral Charm

Modern didn't exist when Wizards made Wurmcoil. It was actually kinda a second string threat until modern Tron came along.

>>44884011
Yeah, if the top decks become only Tron, all in combos and aggro decks. I think UWR control becomes really good.

>>44876414
What world do you live in?

>>44884091
I think the black version is gonna be faster
If people wanna use white, theyre gonna have to cut lingering souls for eldrazi replacer so they can flicker thought-knot and wasteland strangler

Reminder that not even my RUG Loam meming could withstand these bans and I'm bailing out of the game save for a couple EDH decks and Miracles. Wizards are too erratic and contradictory. They ban a perfectly fine deck out of nowhere, then say things that make no sense about why they did it. Fuck this shit I'm putting more attention on Warmahordes. Maybe find a nice MMO to play.

I may even put a few into Death and Taxes. Vial on four feels REALLY bad, but the fact that we already run full sets of Ghost Quarter and a few other utility lands makes me feel better.

Painlands may even be a reasonable inclusion in that sort of build. Get BW for Sculler.

>>44884294
oh yeah, i just don't have the funds now and want to build it in the meantime and gradually pick them up (while waiting for reprints because hey I can dream)

I'm sitting on ~$300 on Pucatrade from flipping '94/'95 bulk, and I imagine I'll be sent Blackmails/Duresses/Funeral Charms well before IoK/TS/Lili

>>44884270
>it seems real good with a solid opening hand, but it's otherwise dead weight

That's because all you're doing is brewing yet another inconsistent combo deck. If you make the deck more consistent and/or faster than existing combo decks, then congratulations, all you've done is speed the format up without addressing the format's absolutely horrendous archetype imbalance.

>>44884429
Lilliana and thoughtsieze are either never getting reprinted or are going to be mythics in a MM although I could possibly see sieze being a rare but their rare/mythic bumps are fucking random as hell at times.

>>44884809
Playing a worse version of someone else's deck isn't really where you want to be. I legitimately think that BW Hatebears could be a real thing. I hereby name the deck "Death and Blaxes". Tidehollow Sculler was never a bad card, and Thrull Parasite is a criminally underrated card. He fucks with Tron's walkers and fiddles with your Vials while casually whittling down life totals. The life gain from him will help you out immensely in the coming metagame where Burn and Affinity are going to hurt you real bad real fast. Like god damn, it's a one drop with 2 useful abilities. The fuck more do you want? Hybrid mana cost, higher toughness, a 3rd ability, and fucking elf tribal?

Chapin style Grixis control with 2 Tasigur and 3 Gurmag Anglers is VERY legit.

Turn one fetchland, dark ritual for 3 and draw a card, turn two fetchland and Angler is very good against tron.

Now, the new, more controlish grixis with Jace, Vryn's prodigy and Pia and Kira nalaar is not fast enough,

But Chapin's grixis puts a fast clock and disruption.

>>44885873

Think of how difficult it is to land that pestermite splinter twin combo because pestermite dies to everything

The presence of gond combo is similar and even when you do get the combo off, the tokens don't have haste so unless that's also part of he combo, you're giving them another turn to untap andt find a supreme or anger of the gods

playing a 4/5 or 5/5 for one mana is not overcosted.

I just saying that people understimate the grixis tempo variant with anglers and tasi. Turn 2 or 3 Tasigur or angler is not difficult and agains tron it puts them on a very fast clock that you can keep with kolaghans' command, land destruction, and counters.

Tron should be running 2 maindeck relic
Even if you beat them game 1, theyll board in 2 more, and 2 grafdiggers cages

Hello Reddit, Ad Nauseam player here. AMA!

>>44886559
Rest in peace is a bitch, yes, but no one plays white.

>>44886649
>grafdiggers cages
To achieve what exactly?

>>44886649
meant for>>44886530

>>44886540
Prefer my lands to be white bordered, but that might just be the legacy player in me. Anyways white bordered lands allow you to fan in you hand and mite quickly find the card you're looking for.

>>44886667
Burn and Affinity do.

>>44881203
serum visions is not good in affinity i would swap it out for another thoughtcast

>>44886662
Why is Spoils the fucking worst card I've ever played
What am I doing wrong

>>44885370

"Setting them back" doesn't do anything when they just kill you through inevitability. Im beginning to think you don't actually understand how Tron works. You need to kill them, not set them back: Remand only helps if you can stop them from winning to win yourself. See >>44875132

>>44886668
Stops Snappy

>>44886484

WOTC pls.

Literally the day before the Twin ban I explained to a few friends why JtMS won't work in Modern.

Now that blue's effectively dead I actively think it's one of the only chances for control to survive.

>GRAFDIGGERS CAGE STOPS THIS

WHY

WHY THE FUCK WOULD THEY STOP YOU CASTING FROM YOUR LIBRARY AT ALL

>>44886824
Most ridiculous mechanic ever, but I like it.

>>44886758

Spoils is a card that either wins you the game or confirms that you were going to lose anyways. Its just the nature of "picking up your deck" style draws as a wincon.

>>44886758
Luck of the Draw, fellow Redditor!
Sometimes you just Exile all your important Magic: The Gathering Cards and lose on the spot! Oh no!

spoils is amazing you cuc.k, it might be that you are making mistakes in other areas of play like cantrip sequencing. fucking yourself with spoils is ~7% with two lightning storms

Setting them back does wonders when you're aggro control. If you have the ability to keep pressure on your opponent with a fast clock while controlling the board, buying a turn with remand can make or break the game.

>>44886649

If I sideboard against tron I bring in 4 molten rain and counters. I try to play an early tasi/angler and land destruction does the rest.

I am not saying is easy, but is certainly easier than with other control decks.

>>44886805
I really don't think it would bring that much harm to modern by itself

It comes out on turn 4 which is wizards safe word

Every deck in the meta is so linear that barely any would care about him or interact with him besides maybe a stray bolt.

>tron would just assemble tron and hurr durr slam muh karn
>infect, burn, affinity would go face for big damage
>chord company decks would probably already try to combo at that point

Like fuck give control a decent win condition card. If not Mind Sculptor give SFM. Having pretty much 0 viable tier 1 or 2 control decks is pretty obnoxious

>Play spoils
>exile half your deck

>barely combo off
For fuck's sakes I run 22 lands and only have 3 in play, my luck can't be that bad. Peer feels more stable tbqh senpai

>>44886875

>Clock
>Vs Tron
>Control

TIL Naya Burn is actually a control deck.

>>44886984
wew lad are you saying that you are spoiling for lightning storm?

if so i don't think you understand how the deck works

>>44886805

Why is control bad?

Is it the lack of ponder and preordain?
Is it the lack of force of will or at least counterspell?

I think it would make more sense to unban a can trip than unban jtms

guys why the fuck is fulminator spiking right now? I was looking to pick up a playset a couple of days ago while it was in the low 20s, but now it is 40-50.

>>44887028
jews

the time to buy is always yesterday.

>>44887028
When the meta is expected to be 90% tron lands and blinkmoth nexuses, fulminator mage looks pretty good

>>44887028
Tron.

Also living end is the biggest casual bait deck in existence so its cards will always be retard expensive.

>>44887004
I learned to play the deck without Spoils so yeah I have no clue how to play it with Spoils, am I supposed to be going for Nauseam?

I run faeries though. Also, with a healthy amount of discard, mistbind cliques, and remands/whatever other counters I run, I don't usually have many problems unless I mulled too aggressively. faeries can switch gears and put out a fast clock when it needs to. Having pic related online early helps too.

Control is bad because there is literally nothing a "true" control deck can do to win the game vs Tron, and the grave-dependant hybrids get fucked even harder.

Counterspell and cantrips could theoretically help, but the former already sees play in Spell Pierce and Negate, and the latter buffs Storm. Control is simply lacking a form of inevitability beyond Delving for midrange fattys and backing them up. They get absolutely crushed on the grind by Tron.
