I thought this was an interesting thing to bring up; Hallowed Fountains are lowest they've been since the reprint.

anyone know how long the pucatrade 3x deal is going on for?

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/bananaman-and-his-pet-fish/

Based on the guys having a conversation about Chapin style Grixis control overwhelming both the newer grindier control build or Kiki replacing Twin I ask, why not both?

>>44888641
Probably because its been literal years since UWx control was a thing.

>>44888641
Now just tell me when Flooded Strand goes back down and I'll sleeve up those Mana Tithes.

Don't know if this is the right place, but considering the public I think it is

my collection just went over the 1k card milestone, and i don't have enough stamina/money to sleeve/box all of the cards
how do I protect them then? Are silica bags good? how about contact with wood? Do I need to make sure the space will be dry and dark? how about average temperature?

>>44888714
Put expensive cards in sleeves in binders. Whatever isn't in a deck that isn't expensive goes in a cardboard card box, sorted first by set then by WUBRG then by alphabetical order.

>>44888754
yes silica bags or no silica bags?

>>44888714
If the number of loose singles you own exceed the size of approximately three fatpack boxes, you have too many. Cull them. Having a large trade binder isn't cool; donate the chaff to someone or the store and only keep the good shit around.

Unsleeved cards don't do well against wood. You don't need silica unless you live in a humid place and if you decide to use them you should make sure the box is sealed so they don't need to be replaced. My cube has sat in a case with silica gel bags and they haven't "worn out" in years.

I see no point in having a large collection in loose cards. The majority of one's collection should be in a deck. I'm not impressed by people's huge binders of mostly-crap, often it tells me they don't care enough to be organized.

>>44888858
I see. To be honest I'm just so afraid of giving up my cards that I end up behaving as a hoarder

>yfw you realize that R E S T O R E B A L A N C E has a great matchup against infect which is going to get wildly popular
hehehehe

>>44888939
I use a converted briefcase to carry all my singles. My random supplies like sleeves and loose packs I put into a shoebox, decks go into another shoebox, which I pick two or three out and carry around in what is essentially a purse with a shoulder strap.

I have a hard limit on the number of singles I own to prevent myself from hoarding, which I am prone to do. The briefcase is always 100% full, if a format staple needs to go into it, it means something has to go. I never have more than around 50 cards for trade at any given time and they're all worth around $7 or more; I don't waste my time with piddly shit that even EDH players don't want.

All in all, the whole shebang can fit into a milk crate.

>>44889766

>>44888940
Only if you don't die pre turn 3, got dismembers in the main of my build ATM but can't find too many ways to interact early

>>44889762
Idunno man, if you can't kill her turn one she warps the entire field around her. DnT has Thalia,and that new bird thingy to deny mana.

>>44889807
beast within works, along with aggressively mulliganing to get a spirit guide + combo piece to get a turn 2 Balance. I own both decks and have been running them against each other and it's a pretty tough matchup for infect, not 100% unwinnable for it but it's hard

>>44889850
It doesnt deny mana, you can still cheat things in and you eventually run out of gas
Some decks will just entirely go around you.
Legacy DnT has Wasteland and Port that dont just make it difficult, but impossible for your opponent to play magic

>>44889762
Ghost Quarter + Leonin Arbiter does a pretty good Wasteland impression.

>>44889401
noice, got tats?

>>44889887
Exactly, Wizards hates that style of deck so we're never ever getting anything to make Modern DnT actually good.

Inverter of truth looks really really sexy.

It could be the splinter twin replacement we've all dreamed of!

I'm thinking of Call the Gatewatch in Balance Superfriends and maybe Painful Truths because the deck is 5c anyway and it's a strong card draw engine. I also pulled a Gideon and tried it out and it's pretty great as a finisher, defs keeping it in

After playing standard for one year I was thinking of making a Modern deck, Zoo. I have some questions.

Is the deck playable (as competitive playable) right now against the rest of the meta?
What are the decks worst/best matchups?
I can afford nearly all the deck except for Arid Mesas and Tarmogoyfs, are there any viable replacements?

In return, my thanks and this burrito rabbit.

>>44890921
That's a taco you heathen.

>>44890921
thats clearly a taco rabbit

I was going to buy a Kiki for EDH before he jumped higher, but my gut is telling me to finish my set of Mutavaults to finish my fish.

>>44890921

>Zoo
No. Play burn or Infect. Zoo is poo

>>44890921
What's the list you're using? If they aren't playing any other delve cards, I like Hooting Mandrills as a budget replacement. Obviously not nearly as good for the fast explosive starts Zoo normally has, but still good. Otherwise just more burn probably. Or you can try shoving Collected Company in there.

Anyway it's probably going to get fucked for a little bit now that Tron players are all going to be trying out their shiny new Kozilek's Return sideboard toy before they decide whether it's actually good or not. Pretty sure Affinity and straight Burn are just faster right than Zoo right now, but its time will come around eventually.

>>44890906
3 Restore Balance
4 Violent Outburst
4 Ardent Plea
4 Greater Gargadon
1 Riftwing Cloudskate
1 Gideon, Ally of Zendikar
1 Garruk Relentless
1 Kiora the Crashing Wave
2 Jace, Architect of Thought
1 Beast Within
1 Utter End
1 Dismember
4 Simian Spirit Guide
4 Wildfield Borderpost
4 Wildfire Borderpost
4 Fieldmist Borderpost
2 Veinfire Borderpost
2 Mistvein Borderpost
2 Flooded Strand
1 Steam Vents
4 Terramorphic Expanse
1 Plains
1 Swamp
1 Forest
2 Island
1 Mountain

I have 3 flex spots in that last, currently filling them are 2 Nihilith and 1 Riftwing Cloudskate. Probably going to remove the Garruk, Kiora is decent against Tron because it can stop their creatures and it gives some card draw. I don't really want to get rid of much more removal but maybe I should do that and just run removal in sideboard.

>>44890921
without goyf Zoo can either go burn-ish (that's gruul zoo), or it can go combo-ish (that's Knightfall) or it can go hatebears-ish (scooze, voice, and pridemage), which direction do you want to go?

>zoo is bad

I see. This is the deal, like I said Im just a Standard player and I have been playing for a year.
Since Khans will rotate out in April, I was thinking about selling my Abzan deck right now to cash the fetchs and everything else while it holds value.
However I could also keep the fetchs and start building a Modern deck, but nothing too expensive either since I don't have that kind of income right now.

Since my favorite colours are Green and White and I like nature themes, I figured Zoo would go fine with me, but I don't want to build the deck either if it's not competitive enough like you guys say, because I like to go to GPs or big cash tournaments and what not.

This was the Zoo list I saw: http://mtgtop8.com/event?e=11234&d=263815&f=MO

Or should I just build Modern Abzan?
http://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/360637#paper

>>44891062
To be honest Im not that smart, so the easiest more effective playstyle would be my choise.

>>44891174
keep the fetches, those are going to hold value for a long time

>>44891174
so you were playing Azban in standard. Was it Azban aggro or Azban midrange or Azban control?

>>44891202
Okay.

>>44891217
Aggro.
This is pretty similar to what Im running right now: http://sales.starcitygames.com//deckdatabase/displaydeck.php?DeckID=96309

>>44891296
if you were running azban aggro, then you don't want to play modern azban, its a grindy value deck. Zoo aggro is going to be where you want. Aggro zoo runs the naya colors, you keep your fetches and have the naya shocks. Take a look at these two lists:
http://www.channelfireball.com/articles/naya-zoo/
http://www.channelfireball.com/articles/burning-zoo/

zoo was quite bad until nacatl was unbanned and coco was printed.in that first list, go ahead and sub in birds instead of hierarch and Voice instead of goyf for budget alternatives.

Raging Ravine at $24

>>44891504
I remember when all the WW manlands were $3 and I only bought up the green/white ones because that was the only color I played at the time. God damn you wizards.

if my opponent has a Leyline of Sanctity, and I played Hunted Horror, they're not a legal target for the tokens, right?

>>44891497
Thanks, also I don't mind playing grindy decks at all, is not like I could kill anyone before turn 10 or so (more or less, you get the idea) with Abzan Aggro on standard right now.

>>44891563
You are correct, but the strategy is very poor.

>>44891563
It works with something like torpor orb but you're better off doing it in legacy with a turn 1 dark ritual into torpor orb phyrexian dreadnought

>>44891504
>Eye of Ugins are $40
>Blacleave Cliffs are $24

After the fucking pro tour it's going to be cheaper to play Legacy than Modern. Screenshot this post.

>>44891719
Without dual lands it actually is cheaper to play legacy than modern, I can build legacy ANT minus the duals for less than most modern decks

How do you figure out what the next card to spike will be?

>>44891779
git gud and guess the meta shifts
after the tron pieces buyout and the pro tour, inkmoth is going to spike like crazy. inkmoth and goryo's vengeance are my predictions

>>44891779
look at what card just went up in price
figure out that the card goes in deck A
Deck B is good against Deck A
Buy cards from Deck B
Repeat with decks C,D, etc. and eventually look back to Deck A

>tfw legacy and vintage are the comfiest formats but they're so expensive
why are legacy players so much better than modern babbies

>>44891823
Wow, you finally realized this game is a rock/paper/scissors kind of thing huh

>>44891840
Because Legacy and Vintage players overall are very old players with little to prove and a shortage of people to play their preferred formats with.

>>44891779
You create the spike by buying out the card

>>44891779

I'm thinking of putting it back together with Stormchaser Mage from oath.

>>44891840
Legacy and vintage are a really small community which helps keep things in line.

>>44892195

>>44892195
Ive played against that deck before, you run 4 Delver of Secrets, 4 Disrupting shoal, vendillion clique, etc
http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/ninja-bird-delver/
Heres a deck list, you can also run ninja bear Delver, same except for a few creatures
Basically it is the tempo-iest tempo deck ever. This is not a deck you play if you want friends, or are bad

>>44892265
Martyr of frost could find a home in a deck like this.

>>44892121
Aggro will be more viable without Twin. Tron/Eldrazi.dec won't be as dominating as you think.

>>44892301
The only thing which may swing for Tron is how good the new mythic slagstorm thing is.

I actually expect Boggles to make a huge comeback. Ive never played it and have no idea what their infect matchup is but if its even 50/50 it seems very well positioned.

They are talking about unbanning Ancestral Visions, right?

I just bought a Japanese Jace vs Chandra, weeb edition, for $20. Did I do good?

My deck was just viable became twin easy ezpz and I 1/4th of my matchups were twin, so scared to see what will fill the void. I really hope its not tron.

>>44892381
Infect got better by a lot with the best deck in the format being its free win deck, but struggles a bit against some of the other aggro decks, yet makes up for it by beating the other combo decks. Bogles had something like an 85% game 1 win rate with Twin in, I can only imagine how much more popular it's going to be now. Which is fine actually because I like Bogles, it's really simple and autopilot and fun if you're just chilling or playing drunk.

>>44892265

What's the proper way to run Disrupting Shoal? What CMCs are important right now?

>>44892459
Nope, you have to turn on Faerie Conclave and enchant it on the same turn and leave faeire conclave untapped. Freed from the Real falls off once Faerie Conclave is no longer a creature.

>>44892522
Therapy usually means combo, and they're probably going to name force if it's blind and game 1. If you only have blue card + FoW then don't bother. If you have blue card + FoW + another counter, it's probably worth it.

>>44892522
It really depends on what you're gripping. Cabal Therapy is one of the most skill intensive cards in mtg and I'm shit at legacy so here read an article or something I just googled

Or just trade cards until you have a deck. This whole "I sold my deck" business is nonsense, you lose way less if you just trade intelligently. The only thing I actually had to buy for ANT was the LEDs.

Legacy burn actually has lines and has some play to it. Modern burn is just autopilot.

>>44895190

>>44895234
thanks, I thought that was how it worked since it doesn't check the power/toughness after targeting it.

>>44895243
>since it doesn't check the power/toughness after targeting
It does. All targetting spells check requirements upon resolution. It's just that spells that are worded like Warping Wail also check them when declaring the targets. A card like Pyroblast, however, only checks them on resolution, it still allows you target any spell or permanent when declaring that you cast it regardless of its color.

>>44895270

>>44890378
I'm male and my hands are small as fuck.

>>44897366
Go for it, I've been playing Storm at FNM's for a while and I've noticed almost no decks have hate for it in the sb, the worst thing I've come across is RiP and Chord for Eidion of Rhetoric.

What's the best configuration for burn going into the the new metagame: Naya or RW? I feel like with all of the aggressive decks everyone seems to think are going to be popular that I should be RW in order to have a less painful manabase and have access to maindeck lightning helixes. I've never been a huge fan of command though, so I feel like this might be personal bias getting in the way of playing the objectively best build for the meta. Also, 1x mainboard deflecting palm; super secret tech, or pure jank?

>>44897581
Mardu is best

>>44890419
Heartless Eldrazi

>>44897581
I played straight Boros burn for a long time. When I made the switch over to Naya with cats I noticed myself winning far more. Nacatl is just so explosive and it fixes the problem with running out of gas.

>>44897760
It's just such a shitty top deck though. Even if I play Naya, I probably won't run Nacatls.

>>44897809
>>44897809
It's up to you I had the same exact opinion as you. I love them now even though I absolutely hate the art, I couldn't ever dream of running without them. Imagine a two Nacatl and one guide hand. It absolutely demands an answer from your opponent because with out one you can threaten lethal on turn three. It helps slow your opponents gameplan down.

>>44897560
At lot of people at my LGS netdeck, so its was full of Tron, Affinity, Twin, and Bloom.

Like, Its nice to know turn three is a little safer, but a single Karn activation could cause trouble, and infect will kill me turn 1 if I don't have a Tim Allen in hand. But with Twin and Prime time gone now, should I go give it another shot? or should I go looking for another store.

>>44897496
Anon, right now there IS no viable midrange deck in Modern that isn't BGx. Tier 1 has and may continue to have BGr, and Tier 2 has BGw. Goyf, Decay, and discard effects are literally too good to pass up at the competitive level.

Mardu is too focused on using spot removal on creatures, and lacks the heavy hitters you get by including green. Jeskai relies too heavily on badly-gimped countermagic and ALSO misses out on the heavy hitters in green.

>>44898176

But it's useless against affinity.

I'm building Naya Burn, but don't really have much of the manabase right now. I can definitely pick up the foundries and 2 more foothills (already have a pair). Probably can get mires as well, but tarns and mesas are a bit expensive right now. Is there anything else I should be looking at in the interim to flush my manabase out while I gradually pick up the ZEN fetches?

>>44898428
Seriously. Why the fuck do people run Nacatl. It's not good in burn. You're shorting yourself 4 burn spells by running it.

Go cheap and get Foothills and Mires; they all fetch for a red source anyways. Fuck the Zendikar fetches man, burn doesn't even run blue anymore.

>>44898269
Ehh my mardu list is completely viable it's just not great. Abbot of keral keep works as a pseudo goyf in half the games as long as your dropping a spell before combat. Also you randomly get to blow people out with bolt spam + prowess. Not to mention abbot + free card into play lategame. Also you get the free perk of destroying Jund because of souls, path, and free cards from abbot

>>44898484
The Idea is that it acts as a Bolt on a stick. But I agree that it seems to only make Burn more inconsistent.

>"I hate losing to bad players"

>>44898481
Well it technically can prevent Etched Champion from being a viable damage carrier since Deflecting Palm doesn't target.

But you still have to outplay Affinity's ability to shuffle damage and disregard blocks as it sees fit.

It does nothing to Lantern Control either. That's one of the benefits of playing niche decks. People have plenty of dead cards against you game 1.

I am a little scared about all the artifact hate will have at the ready because of Affinity however, but I suspect I will just mill it away anyaway.

>>44898774
What kind of format doesn't have people playing 2-3 Stony Silence in the side?

>>44898518
If palm gets played, affinity decks will just use ravager to shift damage.

>>44898467
>>44898501
>>44898565
I'm this anon (>>44897581)
So you're all basically confirming that maindeck palm isn't jank right? I figure it's good against any of the top decks, and worst case scenario you target a bolt or something and it's basically just a lightning helix.
>>44898569
Burn still rekts storm because of eidolon. sorry fag.

>>44898888
Personally I wouldn't main it, but if you want to out-yomi the opponent then go for it.

But only after you max out on Boros Charm and Lightning Helix.

>>44898945
My current build if I put a singleton palm in the main puts me at:
4 charms main
3 helixes main
1 helix sided
1 palm main
2 palms sided
The thought of palming against infect game 1, or blowing out a searing blaze in the mirror is just too good to pass up.

>>44898875
The deck is alreadt prepared for Stony Silence though. It's not as if you don't automatically board in all your Nature's Claims against white decks.

>>44898976
On second thought, palm doesn't interact with blaze how I thought it did, and gets blown out by skullcrack. It also seems mediocre against affinity if they have ravager out. I guess 2 in the side is enough for the relevant matchups.

Guys I kind of want to build 5 color humans. Please remind me why that's a shitty idea.

>>44899101
The way I see it, you could Deflecting Palm choosing Ravager so long as they don't have Etched Champ out, and that forces them into questionable play mode as they shuffle the damage elsewhere.

The right play would be to board in artifact hate first and foremost but I think a skilled player can Palm for incredible value if they outthink the Affinity pilot. But that requires being able to outthink a flowing river of damage.

>>44899187
Not enough functional reprints of Champion of the Parish.

>>44899211
I already have revelries, volcanic fallouts, and a smash to smithereens for the infinity matchup. 'Bringing in palms is probably just overboarding.

>>44899262
Yeah that's definitely going overboard.

>>44898888
It's not REALLY maindeck, or at least it hasn't been previously. But depending on your expected metagame 1 or 2 maindeck could be acceptable.

Because it's actually pretty good. I had the exact opinion you guys have now until I tested it out. It's not just a bolt for G. Its a bolt that's going to keep on hitting every turn until your opponent removes it which slows his gameplan down and it gets pumped by Command.

>>44900649
You will never get to 20. Ever

>>44900557
That color identity fits with the sand niggers too.
Red for their chaotic nature, beheadings, goat fucking
Black for their mistreatment of humans, pedophile worship etc
White for their false sense of justice

>>44900524
I had the opposite opinion, tested it out and found it often to be a dead draw, also forced me to take more damage from shocklands and forced me to fetch for stomping ground ASAP. Worst case scenario is having a decent hand with a nacatl and two mountains or something similar.

Hey man, black does NOT condone pedophilia

Why not try 4x Stony Silence in your sideboard? If you're up against Affinity or Tron and lost game 1 you won't regret it (^:

Well that's alright. I noticed myself winning more often with the card. I'd honestly rather go Boros just because I like the flavor and I hate Nacatls art but I can't pass up the higher win percentage.
One day theyll print a good R/W creature and then I'll take the cat out.

Also, have you weighed Kor Firewalker vs Kitchen Finks for your burn side-in card? Seems as though both have merits.

>>44900779
The affinity matchup isn't too bad. Every once in awhile they get away from me, but that deck is so anti aggro already...

Might work against tron. I may also just have to concede that this deck blows against tron. They have waaay more inevitability than I could ever hope to muster and short of soaring ahead of them and cycling ghost quarters with sun titan over and over, the matchup is piss poor.

I do need to think of something to combat tron though

card is bonkers and unexplored

>>44900841
If I resolve/flicker 2 missionary triggers I basically win vs burn. Their guides, nacatls, etc just run into my wall of omens or trade with missionaries. I 100% think Firewalker is a better SB card.

>>44900649
I think it's just win-more and not worth the sideboard slots.

>>44900844
>>44900868

Gotcha.

Sun Titan is one of my favorite finishers of all time, maybe I'll try this deck out sometime since I'm pretty close to having everything I need for it.

>>44900864
this, it's like a red snapcaster that works on lands and creatures.
Tried it in UR and loved how it played out, I'm certain the same could be said for zoo decks or jund

Magic, despite being over 20 years old, as undergone a bunch of growtg the past few years. Now WotC is going to milk this cow for every shekel they can get. Once profits start going down they might more strides at listening to the community.

If only there was a way to fit some of Harold McNeill's cards into Dredge it'd be perfect lel

why would i ever want to cast this over ulamog?

>>44895709
Plenty of stores I know used to run proxy events. I never would have completed my MUD deck if it weren't for proxy tournaments.

>>44900415
Yes it is. "Team Italia" was the old name for a deck in those colors, and prior to Mardu being a name the wedge was either known as Dega or Italia.

When I'm in Japan next I'll have to snap a few up, they're cheaper there because there's less demand for them. Plus, you know, foreign language shit.

Three or four, I'd imagine?
