I always said I wanted to see modern burn. This weekend, I got my wish.
>>45283035
I don't know if I should regret buying my playset of Eyes
Eldrazi truly did too well
>>45283035
I regret not buying cyanide pills, we have at least twelve months of this shit to look forward to.

How do you want your mulligans familia?
>mfw during this pro tour

It cares about quarter, having your Eldrazi Temple replaced by a Wastes is not a good trade and at least one game was won yesterday because the Eldrazi player ran out of gas after a couple quarters.
>>45283122
>not using livestreamer
but why?
>>45283035
Mimics.Chalice of the Void. Seriously, its been on my to do list long before the PT because I love the card. I used to have a set that I got for $9. Same story with Eye of Ugin. I guess I'm an idiot.

Here's your (You), now you can stop deleting and reposting this.
I'm building the colorless Eldrazi deck at the speed of light. Maybe if I hurry, I can get one game in before they start banning shit.

Welp, nice Pro Tour guys. I'm going to go hang myself in my closet now.
>>45283210
ur plays chalice in the board
This new Eldrazi deck is a lot like Affinity.
You drop 4 or 5 cards T1. The difference is that Affinity has about 2 power avg this way. Eldrazi has 8-10
CAN'T SINK THE CHINK
>>45283189
It's much better than Heartless Summoning.
You can't cast Eldrazi Memeic with Heartless Summoning in play.

The Eldrazi decks are way too powerful to be a flash in the pan, we're in for a rough year unless they make an emergency banning.
everyone start playing the same deck, we YuGiOh now
>>45283379
I don't think so, its just not legacy power level
probably tier 3 in legacy
>>45283379
Eldrazi Stompy will probably be a thing
>>45283379
Eldrazi Stompy is a bad MUD deck, which is already bad

No. You gonna get interacted on.

>>45283379
Very easily could you make Eldrazi Stompy. It's already just a better version of Zoo, and Zoo sees play in Legacy.
The only saving grace for Legacy is that you have powerful counter-magic/pillowfort cards to give control some breathing room
>>45283428
There is no damage control.
Just the same old "wow we had so much fun this tournament" that every tournament have and then a bit of "sure was a lot of Eldrazi though".
Can someone please tell him about the malteser stuck in his face already?

>>45283316
holy shite same,
My Ad Nauseam deck just made me money before I even used it.
>>45283362
They wouldn't. BW Eldrazi would slap its shit with 4 ThoughtNazi, 4 IoK/Duress, 2 Thoughtseize, 4 paths and 2 dismembers. Chump blocks for days with Lingering Souls, mainboarded Relics to cockblock Snappy and all sorts of nasty shit. Or the UR version would straight up race it. Or the colorless version would sit on chalice at 1.
Eldrazi are straight up power creep, that wizards fucking knew would catch on since they reprinted eye and temple.
>>45283496
He knows he put the last nail in the coffin
>>45283507

>>45283066
God, same, I honestly didn't see Reality Smasher going anywhere, so wasn't too hyped about it, but now that with the Mist Reshaper and Thought-Knot Seer I got from prizes, my pool looks so much nicer in retrospect.
>>45283459
Oh, ok. So literally nothing being said in public. I certainly hope that behind the scenes they're panicing.
should I sell my spirit guides now?
>>45283035
A playset of Eye of Ugins before they jumped to $30 each
Now they will never go down until they get banned.
>still 0 Legacy support
>forced to play Modern or Standard which both get worse every year
Honestly if they don't do something soon I might as well quit Magic.
Just abondon the reserve list and print Eternal Masters so I can finally play a non meme format.
We need more Niggers and Insects
>>45283379
Its probably comparable with MUD. You don't have as strong a disruptive element because you want to run eldrazis instead of lodestones but you're more aggressive and don't take pain from your lands
Of course, you could always just run the sol lands anyway.
At the very least MUD has some new toys
>>45283524
You should grind out some store points at modern events for a few weeks before selling it.
>>45283454
its not just that, control is kept in the format because of combo. its something people seem to have forgotten. control is playable because the decks that dunk on control are supposed to be kept in check by fast combo decks that in turn fold to control. this makes all of the decks make concessions in deckbuilding to have game against the other archetypes and prevent degenerate strategies that push out the deck that they get beaten by.
with combo artifically kept out of modern and control kept from having counterspells and cantrips to find their important answers, modern can never have a healthy metagame
>>45283530
>His smile and optimism: gone
>>45283547
I'm selling out if my local store becomes memedrazi.
>>45283530

nothing to cry about
>>45283554
There's no reason to not just jam Trinisphere in an Eldrazi shell.
Your Mimics are gonna cost 3, big deal
>>45283471
Its all I have left now.
>>45283547
Not to mention prices of everything in general just keep climbing and climbing. MTG is getting more and more popular and they won't address demand.
>>45283052
why?
>>45283536
Well obviously they can't have the hosts be all like "oh lol so broken!!!11! instant ban tomorrow guise".
But yea behind the scenes someone is already thinking whether or not they need to ban something or what they could do instead.
>>45283547
You ask for Legacy support and they'll turn that into a rotating format too. Just hope that your LGS lets you play with proxies for shit like dual lands.
>>45283556
This, Splinter Twin was a necessary evil in that it acted as the gatekeeper against some of the degenerate strategies that we've seen all weekend.
>>45283573
you don't understand
MAGIC IS DEAD
>>45283575
>when modern players try to talk about legacy

>>45283581
>That fucking mole
>>45283594
They'll probably wait a few months until SOI is out so that they can still sell shitloads of OGW, then they'll start banning stuff.
>>45283598
this is great
Someone needs to catalog all the drops now, I'm running around and I have no idea what's going on.
>>45283620
you go increase decrease then apply trinisphere
>>45283243
Unless you have a spare set of Chalices lying around.
>>45283575
But you can't cast trinisphere with eldrazi lands
So where is my fucking announcement...
don't tell me it was just the fucking Abrupt GP print
>>45283655
That's what I thought
So there's no way to cast anything for less than 3
Except I guess delve, because that counts as paying a mana?
>no Eternal Masters announcement
Well fuck. I wasted my entire day on this bullshit?
>>45283035
I'm pretty sure I traded away my Eye of Ugin.
>>45283554
you can play 16 sol lands
>>45283599
Explain to me how twin decks would have stopped the eldrazi decks
>>45283670
Yeah Wizards decided to pull the announcement because of the leak.
your problems are solved /tg/
>>45283676
yeah since the change delve and convoke counts as paying but it didnt used to
I'm new to MTG so I'm sorry if this a dumb question but what are all the types of cards that stay on the field after you play them that aren't creatures?
>>45283681
They already have Vintage Masters.
>>45283686
It wouldn't. If anything people would be jamming twin on Eldrazi if it were legal.
>>45283706
Lands?
>>45283706
>>45283706
Artifacts, Enchantments, Planeswalkers, Lands and Creatures are all permanents.

Daily reminder that it's pro players who set the power level of the OGW Eldrazi. :^)
>>45283686
Threatening to win on turn four would slow down the Eldrazi decks on average, not to mention that Twin would just start main decking Spreading Seas to improve the match-up.
Thoughts:
UR Eldrazi is the better deck.
Apostle's Blessing could be some slick tech in mirror matches.
>>45283719
And Enchantments and Artifacts.

>>45283838
not the one where BGH reprint was confirmed
Well first Let's dispel this fiction once and for all that Wizards doesn't know what they're doing. They know exactly what they're doing; they're undergoing a systematic effort to change Modern and make Magic more like the rest of the TCG's.
If we play Cube we'll embrace what makes Magic the greatest TCG in the world.
>>45283851
Oh, yeah true I hope he does get in SOI.
>>45283856

>OGW creates a modern archetype that has likely broken the format
does anyone have that graphic of the different modern archetypes and their resiliance/speed/interactivity?
>>45283756
The deck isn't really susceptible to 1-for-1 removal, and if you're spending T2 to kill one of their guys you've already fallen behind.
8Tomb Eldrazi, with decent representation, will continue to win events because other decks have to nut draw AND not fall to disruption to win the match.
have x14 endless one, waiting for $8+ to sell
>>45283915
Here you go.
>MTGS doesn't have a thread for UR Eldrazi

Chalice is being bought out. I can only find moderately played and damaged for like $40.
>>45283756
>Just doom blade out affinity bro
Eldrazi does the same thing as Affinity except it doesn't get blown out by random cards like Creeping Corrosion and vandalblast. Just accept your new tentacled masters.
>>45283907
>Implying there has been an above average draft set since KTK.
Cube is the only thing keeping me playing to be honest, I haven't touched modern since October and it doesn't seem like that is going to change anytime soon.

Eye of Ugin is getting banned in two months. Sell yours now.
I just got home, can anyone explain me the Though-Knot Seer meme? To many coloress Eldrazi decks in Moderns?
>>45283966
Spot removal doesnt hurt affinity as much because ravager can just eat itself or any other thing you point doomblade at.
>>45284042
Oh boy. Can't wait to trade all this shit in.
>>45284046
>eye of ugin
You mean eldrazi temple
>two months
You mean two weeks at most.
>>45284072
Spot removal doesnt hurt eldrazi much because they either already got your best card, might get a new card, make you discard a card to cast it or got to play a bunch of free lands.

6 of the top 8 decks in the Pro Tour were Eldrazi decks. The final match was Eldrazi vs Eldrazi.
Eldrazi also took 1st on MTGO's PTQ
>>45283988
Because the one thing lacking in every Magic community is people who have stopped playing not showing up to remind players that the reason they quit is because the game has shit the bed.
Five years from now you won't see many who claim they've been playing for longer than five years. It's going to be lifers, newbies and kids with plenty of disposable income just like how Wizards likes it.

>>45284157

>>45283284
>remove basic lands
Holy shit you're a dumbass
>>45284176
Turns out having two lands that make eldrazi cheap (eldrazi temple and eye of ugin) have the effect of giving any shit card a lot of mileage over the other fair alternatives.
>>45284176
Drowner of Hope was a 4-of in the deck that just won the Pro Tour
>>45284224
We don't need basics now we have wastes
so if wotc doesn't print modern playable cards you are all going to be bitching, if they do you will be bitching anyways.
no one expected eldrazi to be this good so the meta has not adapted to it. wait at least a couple of months before crying "broken".
>>45284302
Hi Mark.
Foil Vile Aggregates are now 25 bucks.
So what is modern now?
CFB Eldrazi < UR eldrazi < evasive version of infect or boggles < the entirety of the field < CFB Eldrazi?
>>45284302
there's such thing as a dominant deck that just needs time for the meta to adapt
then there is eldrazi which beats zoo and burn and affinity at the aggro game, has bigger dudes than mid-range, has more reach and self protection than control can deal with, and ends the game by turn 4 or sooner so combo can't race it.
Go ahead and list some sideboard cards that impact the eldrazi deck before turn 2 when they thought nazi you. or before turn 3 when they reality smasher you. I'll fucking wait.
Is it me or is Thought Knot Seer legitimately adorable?
>>45284343
In the United States of Jewmerica maybe. :^)
>>45284343
So what? In a week they are going back to 2$ a piece.
>>45284302
There's no need to "wait and see". All the pro and their teams solved the new format. MODERN IS FUCKING SOLVED and Eldrazi decks are the new top tier decks with 70%+ winrates.
>>45284385
Quite so, sir.
>>45284385
i want a plushie of one
is the eldrazi deck viable without eye of ugin or eldrazi temple?
Why are people buying Baby Lillys? Is it that good in Abzan CoCo?
Could someone explain the difference between standard and modern to me?
>>45284472
Standard is cheaper and has a better deck diversity because Wizards actually tests it.
>>45284472
Modern is the format where your above average Standard cards become broken cards.
>>45284472
Bait
>>45284450
Probably still tier 1 with just temples, probably mid to low tier 2 with just eye of ugin.
All right, with all these cards jumping in price, there have to be some cards that were previously high that are dropping now, right? Is there a website that'll keep track of that kind of thing?
>>45284450
With one banned it will still be strong, but not nearly Tier 0 like it is now. Probably Tier 2.
If they ban both then it's a pile of shit.
>>45284467
I've tested her when she came out. Didn't like her, but it can work wonders in super grind matches where focusing on the combo isn't smart.
Good idea to buy Drowner of Hope?
>>45284450
without the fast mana the deck has nothing, its just midrange/aggro hybrid
>>45284158
Mfw all the mtg dinosaurs leave the game finally and go play another shit gaame like heartstone and force of will.

Friend just made the colorless eldrazi deck last night and challenged me to make a deck that could beat it saying its unbeatable. I built this and crushed him 5 games in a row. Of course this deck is god awful and will lose to most fair decks with little effort on their part. But hard countered the pro tour list pretty handily. Their only answer is ratchet bomb ticking up to 3 and that's just too slow to stop koth from ulting with moon and bridge out, and all the draws to get what you need. so just saying, their are answers. But do you really want to make a deck that beats eldrazi but loses to EVERYTHING else?
>>45284364
>>45284431
>>45284630
alright alright you guys might be right. so what do you think modern is going from here? are they banning the sol lands? should they? or will they keep printing more powercreep?
>>45284630
>let's print sol lands that can be used in one archetype with already aggressively costed creatures while banning all the other fast mana in the format, seems like a good idea

good luck to it getting its islands against turn 1 blood moon they cant even ghost quarter their own lands then.
>>45283888
You gotta be kidding.
>>45284467
Shes pretty goog in my abzan CoCo. With the pro tourand the madness ability in new innistrad, she might increase her price.
>>45284779
Eldrazi basically scoops to multiple Moons or Bridges.
>>45284790
Only when both are legal. If one were to be banned, temple would weaken eldrazi more. Temple enables turn 2 thought-knots and reality smashers. Its impossible to cast a turn 2 thought-knot and reality smasher with just ugin and ugin is a legendary card so you can't play more than one at once; making having multiple more of a liability. Plus you can't cast your disruption cards with an eye of ugin alone on turn 1.

Eye of Ugin provides card advantage late game, giving the Eldrazi decks (and Tron) good matchups against Control decks, further distorting the metagame.
Ban Eye, Control needs the help.
>>45284951
modern is too expensive to shift the deck you play for most people, a lot of people will just play tier decks
>>45284951
>implying implications which I did not imply
>>45284970
Switch to eldrazi and the deck pays for itself.
>>45284713
have you tried gemstone caverns, faithless looting, or magma jet?
>>45284995
not when its a sizable portion of the field and is metagamed against, then your down several hundo and nothing to show when the ban comes down
do you guys really believe eye of ugin will get banned? I bought mine when they were 5 a piece and now it seems too good not to sell them
>>45284816
Nah, Baby Lili is shit. Madness in T2 wont make her expensive anon, plus its not good in CoCo decks so stop with the meme plz we are not guilty of you being bad at evaluating a card. A 2/3 Lifelink is not enough to stop Goys and our new Eldrazi masters so stop with the baby lili meme plz.
>>45285110
I think temple is more likely to get banned.
>>45284880
Ah, but one Eye can let u plop down 1-4 Memdrazi Mimics on turn 1, one temple can only plop down 1 Mimic.
2 Eldrazi Temples on turn 2 can cast a thoughtknot seer, but an Eye of ugin and a temple can do the same. BUT an Eye of Ugin and and Eldrazi Temple can plop down 2 Matter Reshapers on turn 2, can 2 temples do that?
And lastly Eye gives u fuel in the late game.
Not to mention it doesn't even tap for its affect so it syncs well with Urborg, Tomb of Modern.
I'd say the eldrazi deck would still be strong with just Temples, but would be more balanced and sustain itself as a tier 1 deck, and not the over oppressive shit that it is currently.
>>45285157
This, because banning eye would also weaken Tron
>>45285186
>Implying people care about tron
>>45285186
you mean the deck that tg was saying was going to take over the format
>>45285211
Peoples opinions don't mean shit. wizard's do. if they think banning eye would weaken tron, then they ban more likely temple
>>45285186
Eye only matters in Tron against Control decks, which need the help more than any other archetype in the format.
Banning Eye of Ugin would be the best thing for Wizards to do.

>>45283892
I have to get a bank loan if I want to play modern at all.
>>45285167
But what good is 4 mimics if you can't reality smasher or thought-knot turn 2? It gives you time to answer it. Pyroclasm is GG with a play like that.
Eye alone can't cast 2 matter reshapers turn 2 either and it has a harder time paying for other colorless mana costs than temple.
With just eye eldrazi would likely revert to a slower late game deck as opposed to a fast aggro one; which is good for the meta.
>>45285362
But muh diversity
>>45285342
>there are people in this thread who forget that 75% of the top 8 and top 4 and 100% of the top 2 were memedrazi
Honestly this looks like the best deck

I think his point was only that they were not, in fact, 70% of the meta
>>45285423
Looks pretty shit to me familia. It's slower than both Colorless and UR Eldrazi, which isn't good.
>>45285423
That looks just awful

WE FORCE OF WILL NOW, BOYS
>>45285569
Quarter is just not a good card
Modern really does need Wasteland
>>45285423
it doesnt even have mimic, the most broken card with eye
guy who built that had no idea what the fuck he was doing
>>45285562
RDW =/= Burn
>>45285463
That's really kind of how it works family
>>45285562
>>Want Allies? You really don't
Maybe some people enjoy losing. But seriously what is with the OGW's allies?
>>45285576
Except Asians suck at Force of Will. Last world championship was Italy vs. USA grand final.
>>45285620
Not in an Eldrazi deck, that looks so much slower than the PT lists
>>45285576
>>45285644
Honestly I hope all this brings some players over. FoW is pretty good and cheap which is nice, especially after Cheshire rotates out. I need more players at locals too ;_;
Bought 11 foil Gut Shot, 10 Drowners, and 2 Italian foil Skyspawners.
>>45285681
I will be rotting in the ground before I start messing with that weeb shit

Their abilities were designed with limited solely in mind.
Would banning eldrazi temple and restricting eye of ugin to a 1 of save modern?
>>45283664
Tfw you bought two for 20 dollars last week.
>>45285711
Modern will never never have a restricted list
>>45285711
They don't restrict shit in Modern, they ban it.
Stop asking retarded questions.
>>45284493
>Standard is cheaper
lol, no, not in the long run. Not when you have to constantly keep up to date with your list in order to be competitive. Not when you have to constantly buy and resell shit to keep up with rotations. I built affinity years ago. It's still the fucking same deck right now, give or take a few numbers.
>better deck diversity
I'll give you that, unfortunately.
>>45285711
Banning either one would make the deck strong, but much more fair. Banning both would straight up kill it.
>>45285681
I was going to try it but the art is just too cringe worthy so I can't make myself. Game looks fine otherwise
I feel like just finishing storm. I don't want to build a deck that's just going to hit a ban (Eldrazi, Affinity), Jund is too expensive, and I thought of control but its really not very viable. Thankfully Storm has been neutered hard and is thus off the list of potential bannings because the deck sucks now.
It along with ascendancy combo might get a lot better with the printing of madness in april.
>>45285775
There are various control lists that are probably more viable than storm
>>45285751
really? i feel like the deck needs both lands to be strong
its just mediocre without both, because you need to increase your odds of having 1 or the other in play in the early turns
>>45285821
The draw-go version of Esper Control got 9th in a PTQ that was infested with eldrazi
rip storm
>>45282990
I'm new to magic because all my co-workers play... I decided to go with a 1000x card bulk box from ebay and an elspeth vs kiora duel deck box. For 35 bux I can make, as I feel, a decent casual deck for just about any color.
But I dunno what to do now. How do I expand? Buying booster packs feels dumb, because they're supposedly designed for maximum draft enjoyment ie, you won't get many doubles of good cards even if you buy a lot of them? So if I like playing a certain way, the optimal way to expand my collection is to just buy singles...? Or is there something I should purchase right now that's worth it? Sorry for shitposting this thread with my newb question.
I really like Hedron crab, by the way, it's perfect for milling. I like being a mill fag - anything in the modern set I should especially get?
>Play Standard
>Modern players laugh at me all day about how it's just meme rhinos
>Overnight Modern becomes a 1 deck format
>>45285830
the deck is still very strong with just eye, you just need to play an urborg version and maybe tune it to be more like the old one that ran expedition maps or other search cards like stirrings
without eye its just bad aggro/midrange, the one sol land isnt enough to make it good
eye is the pin of the deck, its everything
Speculating about bans now is super premature. Nobody knows how the format will shape up on the next few weeks in Magic Online. It could very well be that the Eldrazi that took this PT by storm will end up not being the best deck after a while or that it's the new best deck but not broken enough to get banned. Remember that there was extremely limited time after the bans to test for this PT and none of the new decks have gone through the hivemind playtesting them thousands of times.
I got it we all go play commander. it's cheaper then its ever been
why does wizards keep bullying us
>>45285854
Buy singles if you want to build decks. That's it.
>>45285711
I don't care if eldrazi sticks around, maybe they could just ban reality smasher or TKseer to make it a little weaker. The only problem is that the format is completely devoid (ha, got the joke?) of control, and not just since Twin's ban.
>>45285936
dumb anime you deserve to be bullied
>>45285966
You don't think the blue moon deck has potential?
>>45285854
Buy singles. If you buy boosters, get people to play limited with.
You can build a mill deck with modern-legal cards but it won't take down any tournaments. Might crush at your kitchen table though.

New thread
>>45285854
you either study the meta and buy the singles you want for your constructed deck or play draft/limited and get a new deck every time.
people who buy boosters only do so because they like cracking packs and gambling but its very likely they wont break even most of the time.
the best way to "expand" your collection is to go drafting, this way at least you will get a deck you can use later and not just jank you will never get to put on any deck.
>is there something I should purchase right now that's worth it?
if you want to buy something thats preconstructed the origins clash pack has standard and modern playables. the modern event deck is going for around $75 but has a lot of staples in it.
>mill
esper mill is a tier 3 deck that can steal some games from the higher tiers but you need lots of fetches and that really expensive UB mill ten card for it to work.
I feel like making a "casual" build with Pod and Cloudpost to see how dumb this can get.
>>45285854
hedron crab is strongest with fetchlands ie polluted delta or flooded strand, but i guess evolving wilds/terramorphic expanse could work in casual setting. i think blue and black would be your best bet as you get mind funeral, breaking // entering, and creature removal.
>>45285681
I'm lucky to live in an area with a pretty active scene full of people who either don't care about the art or just get a good laugh at some of the more ridiculous shit and play to enjoy the mechanics.
Now if we could just get R/R to stay go forever.
>>45285943
