This, if you wanna make political jokes, at least keep it Modern related.

>>46656231
Go make your own then faggot, I've made all the modern threads for the past month, suck my dock if you don't like it.

Is there a good modern deck for under $100? As in, good enough to win packs at FNM.

>>46656509
Yeah, tooth and nail is a little bit more but it can win, there's mono red burn, and green stompy. Try looking at the budget section of mtg goldfish

>>46656575
They no longer have a budget section. Do you have a list for the tooth and nail deck?

>>46656467
Wow and they've all been garbage. Good job

I'd make one if it was worth it. All shitposts and unrelated Lumberjack memes. So epic

>>46656690
Your opinion literally means nothing to me, I don't give a single fuck about what you think, now excuse me while I have an actual discussion about magic while you cry about meaningless shit.

>>46656630
yes they do http://www.mtggoldfish.com/decks/budget/modern#paper

>>46656778
Huh, I couldn't navigate to it. Thanks.

I'm new to magic and I was wondering if you guys could help me put with a modern eldrazi deck.

I already am working on a RB aggro eldrazi for standard and i'd like to play with something similar on modern once eldrazi are no longer playable on standard.

>>46656630
Well I don't actually have a list, but I can make some card choices for you.

21 forest
4 utopia sprawl
1 emrakul, the aeons torn
1x Xenagos, god of revels
4x dryad arbor
4x voyaging satyr
4x overgrowth
4x harmonize
4x primal command
4x garruk wildspeaker
That is like the basis of the deck, not sure why I write 4x, I was kind of just free handing the deck, but I'm not 100% sure on what I would run. That's the core of the deck though, you ramp up into a tooth and nail, entwine it, then play Xenagos and Emrakul and swing for 30 annihalator
6 which usually wina the game. Those cards are what you probably want, then add acidic slimes, beast within and other green cards that help yout win or ramp, oh and primal command, that cards great. And don't necessarily just go off any list, making your own decks more fun

>>46656864
Eldrazi is bad in modern now tho. Just take your standard eldrazi, add in 4 bolts, 4 dismembers, 4 terminates, and 4 eldrazi temples, there you go

Would Eldrazi Temple been a better hit than Eye of Ugin?

>>46656866
That's not "a little bit more". That's a fuckton more, in fact.

>>46657014
Really? I think it's like 120 for the tooth and nail and emrakul, probably get it for less than 100 on ebay, and that's it really as far as cards over a couple bucks go

>tfw I'll probably have to play burn because it can actually be good without breaking the bank

Ancestral Vision sucks. Too slow.
Thopter/Sword is okay. My test builds have been having trouble with aggro, which is what my meta is filled with.

No.

When I hear brew, I attach a connotation that it's something I'm playing, not something I'm testing without assembling.

If test builds=brews, then yes, I was trying shitty thopter builds... this is the last one I tried before giving up:

>>46657445
Huh interesting "test build" there bud. What kind of aggro is in your meta? I mean, you don't really have any targeted removal, so idk.

>>46657144
If you can't afford a tier 3 budget deck like tooth and nail then you shouldn't get into modern. Just play pauper or standard. Or, you know, get a job.

>>46657508
The more I think about it, when I hear brew, I just think casual jank, since most people aren't coming up with effective brews. But I guess that technically I play brews from time to time.

>What kind of aggro is in your meta?
There's Elves, Burn, 8whack, Affinity, Merfolk, Infect, BW Tokens and Zoo, as well as other random aggro from time to time.

I was disappointed with test results vs Affinity and Burn, so I gave up, since I can run other decks to tear up the meta like Affinity or Abzan Company.

>>46657655
How the fuck is standard a cheaper option? You spend the same amount,but more often.

>>46657655
You are the reason people hate modern players.

>>46657718
I'm just saving him the hassle of putting together a bad 100 dollar deck that goes 1-3 every fnm that makes him hate magic. I'm serious, just play standard or pauper if you want a cheaper competitive format. Recognize that most good decks play expensive cards because lots of other people want to play those cards too. If he really wants to get into modern, he should take that 100 dollars and buy staples with it and slowly build a collection.

>>46657815
>standard is cheaper
What the fuck?

Anyway, he should just go with mono-red burn. Cheap and effective.

>>46657679
I've been testing this, works pretty great against burn and affinity, it's mucheaper better against affinity if you know you're playing against it and can chalice for 0 to shut down those explosive draws. Test it out man, it's been great for me.

>>46657815
>implying standard is $100
Fuck that dude, Magic is literally too expensive to play well right now. Sure, it's one thing spending money on hobbies but no normal person drops $600 (only 4 goyfs) on something that quickly. There are literally hundreds of better things to do, and at a certain point you begin looking like an addict with spending habits.

>>46657840
Standard is cheaper you mongoloid. You only get to play your deck for about 6 months, but that deck is cheaper. You could argue modern is "better value" because it doesnt rotate, but standard is still cheaper. 100 dollars gets you a lot further in standard than in modern.

He's going to get crushed with 100 dollar burn at any store with competitive players. If he's not going to play competitively he should just play casual with friends and not even be looking into modern.

I despise modern and modern players but really if you can't afford a $120 deck, why are you trying to play magic?

Get a fucking job

I fuckin hate seeing poor people spend their money stupidly

>>46657892
You could just collect staples over time with whatever cash you have left over and from trading standard cards. Like every modern player I know in the real world does. It's a hobby game, like golf or poker. It's not for poor people struggling to pay the bills.

>>46657953
Jesus, you're stupid and obnoxious. People like you are why everyone hates modern players. $100 burn beats a solid amount of decks if it's played well.

>>46658010
Dank samefag.

You wish I was a samefag

Nothing wrong with $100 burn deck I'm just saying if the difference between a $150 deck and a $100 deck is that significant for your budget, you shouldn't be playing magic, you need to get your shit together

>>46658097
Do you not understand how money works? If you have $100 to spend on cards, then you already have your shit together, and $100 left over to spend on a hobby.

>>46658126

>implying having $100 of spending money is having your shit together

>>46658064
He's obviously not buying cards because he can't afford a 120 dollar budget deck. If a difference of 20 dollars is so significant it means you need to get your shit together and manage your finances correctly.

>>46658153
>implying people don't have other luxuries to spend extra money on

>>46657815
standard is probably the most expensive format to keep up with, so that seems like a pretty unreasonable suggestion.

Pauper is great though, I highly suggest that.

I bailed on the meta when eldrazi winter started. Still rocking Affinity. How should I feel? What big threats should I prepare for? Is 4 master of etherium a good Idea? I was playing it as a 1x before Eldrazi was a thing.

I should have worded that differently - I didn't drop out of the meta because of Eldrazi - I just meant that was about the time a took a break from Magic.

>>46658558
Oh you're fine then. Affinity will always be a giant in the format until it gets something banned. Even with all the hate it top 8s every event

>>46658463
Affinity is still a great deck but with thopter sword running around people are packing even more artifact hate than usual which hurts the deck. Honestly it is probably a good thing if affinity drops off the radar for a bit or else cranial plating or ravager will get the ban hammer.

>>46658612

>>46661594
Groundswell nigger.

>>46661207
Why are you running a removal jewkite? It does nothing for you. If you absolutely need an extra flyer for a match toss it in the sideboard. Replace it mainboard with ugin or another counterspell, or maybe cyclonic rift. Then switcheroo when your opponent is going wide on the ground. I see where that pseudo firebreathing/flying combo can wreck with a ridiculous mana base, but you don't need it for most games. Only against bw tokens or gobs.

>>46661799
Congrats on kid
Yea modern dipped in popularity, first because of twin/bloom banning and then because of the shitstorm that was eldrazi

I'm excited to see what this season brings, hopefully things settle down with a bit more control.

>>46661957
I've been hoping control would get good ever since R/W/U dipped in populariy. I really thought the fetches would open up more possibilities but it still wasn't enough

They did. If, and only if, your third colour is red. Blood moon and bolt invalidate playing any non-red three colour deck.

I can't imagine a judge stopping you since it's a real card and baller as fuck. Phyrexian Elesh Norn technically is unplayable because "Phyrexian" isn't listed as a language for Oracle text, but you can still use her.

Ooga booga

>>46666585
8th tests are internal cards and cannot be used in tourneys. Also phyrexian norn has a specific allowance by wotc to use in any format where it's original printing is legal(just as every other judge foil does).

Wait so you like ghost quarter your flagstones when it's blood moon time? Kinda cool

>>46673206
The reason why I don't agree with those is that getting two Temples for t2 TKS is pretty christmas land and if you have tron online an O-Stone, Ugin, Karn or Ulamog does a lot more work. World Breaker is pretty gud but requires color fix so you can't cast it t3 without natural/tutored tron and an uncracked egg.

Hey guys

I'm trying to make a RW Angel tribal deck, but I'm kind of lost on which good tribal support cards for angels to look for (assuming there are any).

It's for casual play with friends, so nothing too fancy, but the idea is to get something functional and properly themed.

What would you guys recommend?

>>46675030
Bring to Light, it's more versatile since you have +4 copies of all your hate cards (creeping corrosion, crumble to dust, obstinate baloth if you're facing burn) as well Scapeshift itself.

>>46673206
No, that's not where it's heading, that list is trash

>>46665275
why use repeatable discard when you can use targeted discard?
inquisition/thoughtseize are way better with land disruption than blind discard for many reasons.
Anyways it might be possible to do lockdown but i think you will have more success with a tempo strategy. i think for a hard lock you'd be better off in RW.

cards to consider: crack the earth, smallpox, bitterblossom, young pyromancer, bloodghast, fulminator mage + k command. oh and if you end up going with smallpox, delve works really well with it since you get three cards in the grave. For instance with fetches you can t1 discard, t2 pox, t3 tombstalker.

From research, I was considering some sort of UWR deck with a Delver/Pyromancer/Mentor value shell and assorted cheap tempo spells like Bolt and Vapor Snag and Remand. I'd rather play 2 colors if possible, UR seems the perfect combination, but white has the best SB options and Mentor/Path is absolutely bonkers.

'folk and D&T aren't really my cup of tea. I don't want to prison my opponents, I just want to control the board.

>>46678825

Run snapcaster mages

>>46678989

Ya they were in the plans but they enter more in the "value spells" slot, y'know. He is more or less mandatory anyway.

What I'm concerned with is more how this deck would fare against the meta AKA is it worth shelling hundreds for the lands and such in this deck or should I just spend like 100 bucks for a monored deck that would carry me further than what seems a deck that no one is playing at all.

Fuck me sideways lads, a good two years later I piece a decent BGx together only to find we're in a pretty shit place right now. The pieces were the Bobs that arrived just before the new banlist hit. The rest I have too find memories with to part. You think the Rhinos and Paths are gonna do any better than Kolaghan's Command and Lightning Bolt in this meta?

>>46679488
In the unlikely event that Thopter Sword becomes a real deck, Kommand will be nice to have.

>>46679538
I think our Terminate-Abrupt Decay split might end up leaning on the side of Abrupt Decay too.

>>46656168
Cool card, OP
not

>>46679538
I've jammed it into unburial gifts and it works very nicely there. I'd recommend BGx players stock up on abrupt decays.

is anyone here going to GP Los Angeles?

I'm probably gonna get a hotel room at the Courtyard Marriott, but I would like roommates to help with the cost so email me if you wanna work something out.

>>46681122
I'm going but I live in Pasadena so I'm good with accommodation. All the best though! Are you gonna go to that panel with Pau Cheon et al?

>>46681349
I've been lurking around the event page, last time I checked they didn't announce what panels or side events would be a thing yet.

Also, I hope they use actual panel rooms in the LACC and not just a portion of the main hall like they did for Oakland earlier this year.

BB is the strongest card in the deck. The deck is just bad, not BB.

But anon
Snapcaster could be anything
Even a lightning bolt

>>46683903
But it is a creature. Not an instant.

>>46682634
3cmc slot is pretty clogged.
nyxathid doesn't combine well with mana denial
i still think it's a mistake not to run B discard, especially if you want to run specter. it's going to eat a bolt/path/mana leak very very often. Inquisition/thoughtseize is like literally the best t1 play in this kind of deck
blightning would possibly be better as rise//fall
11 land destruction effects seems like the most you'd want but idk

>>46683934
snap caster might as well be: cast target inst/sorc from your graveyard,pay its cost, put a 2/1 onto the battlefield

>>46684355
I wish it were that. More things would counter it.

My LGS is holding modern at thursday.

I guess we were like 20 people.

Played Tezzerator modern port (still with Chalices, 6 rocks and stuff)
Faced Naya Something, Blue Moon and Kiki Chord
Played horrible but got to get some valuable testing of Tezzerator

>Naya Something
g1 Nacatls, Hierarchs doing some early swings and him having 3 Bolts in hand
g2 I suprised him with Thopter Sword and -4 Tezz
g3 he played Qasali T2, Qasali T3 into Kataki T4

>Blue Moon
sidenote: he played Visions
Such a grind - nothing happened...
g1 we had no boardstate besides my foundry for like 10 turns until I finally found a sword and he conceded
g2 he won a counterwar, game stalled, dropped Blood Moon at some point to neuter my Academy Ruins and I made a huge mistake that cost me the game
g2 went into time and we ended 1:1

>Kiki Chord
g1 dunno what happened
g2 again some huge misplay, had 1 mana open & 15 life and was too tired to realize I got a Dismember in hand to stop the combo

Tezzerator works - but there is so much natural hate for it running around, Scoozes, Qasalis, a bazillion sideboard cards - I even faced multiple Vandalblasts
MVP: animated Darksteel Citadels
Considering: maindeck Torpor Orb and Flaying Tendrils

>>46683456
If I wasn't being facetious it would have been lightning bolt.

>>46685379

This is complete bullshit and you know it. Mono-red burn has more in common with 8whack than all-in goblins does.

Have you tried spy network? Maybe im just trying to be tribal about thopters but the tempo seems like it might be cool.

>>46686327
It does

>>46686017
Abzan, Kiki is a strictly worse build without all the good stuff black has.

>>46686514
Kiki chord splashes black for the good stuff, and chord makes the splash very achievable, I disagree. Also I'd say Kiki chord is better if you know you're meta real well, while abzan is better all around

>>46686354
If I was going to run something that combos with the combo I already have I'd just run time sieve

>>46686327

you can always sac the Orb if you really want to combo

until then it stabilizes and prevents a lot of stupid ETB shenanigans

this is just god awful. how do you justify trying to blood moon people with 4 ghost quarters and 4 paths? I'd like to think you're just trolling me.

>>46679488
what's up fellow GayBx bro. I've been playing Junk with four bobs and no rhinos to some decent success the past two weeks. on Monday I 2-0'd American control w/ Ancestral vision, Jund, and RUG moon. Lost to Abzan chord and I'm convinced the matchup is pretty much unwinnable unless you can keep a hand with Leyline of the void and the nuts g2 and g3. only problem with the deck I've had so far, so if Company/Chord dies out, I think Junk will be very well positioned.

>>46679488

Go home Boohooland, playing Fulminators which are castable with strictly red and 1 Sin Collector off sideboard with a manadork is not splashing black.

Now this is some spicy (budget) meme'ing.
I'll call this "Keki wa kono Dio da"

I mostly play commander, but I'm thinking of getting into modern. I love control, is esper, grixis, mono blue tron, or blue white best? On a slightly below average budget, which would you recommend?

>>46691848
grixis or uw. u tron is absolute trash and espers not much better.

>>46691466
>implying paying an extra 40 dollars for a card that was 60 for a playset means anything to me
God, it must be so troublesome waking up every morning and finding new ways to be poor

>>46691921
I'd think esper would be a good bet, it allows a lot of sideboard options and paths. But I don't play much in modern, so could you explain a bit?

>>46691848
If you're on a slightly below average budget, go blue tron. If you want what is in my opinion the best control deck, go grixis.

>>46691848
>>46691921
U tron is fine (struggles vs aggro and the lowest budget of the lot. Esper is trash for the money. Grixis and uw are the better of the lot but they're hella expensive.

>>46692084
>>46692108
Guess I'll give it a try, will brew up a list later today

>>46692230
You could also try UW tron, but it's more expensive than U tron. Better vs aggro, worse vs. Control and combo

>>46692325
Guess I'll have to check on what my local meta has more of, though I could switch it back and forth if I need

>>46692351
Ok, seems like it has a lot of affinity and jund, so now comes the budgeted UW I guess. Probably Elspeth Suns champ as a budget win con

can thing in the ice be used in delver strategies?

>>46693280
god no. if you're going to play it, put it in a control shell.

>>46693280
Nah, really isn't more valuable than a young pyromancer

>>46693408
but it doesnt replace wall of omens :c or what would the distribution be with the creatures in uw control?

Do you think shared fates is jank enough? The idea is you play a control deck with pic related and then no win con. You use hand disruption and counter spells to make your opponent have no win con while you use their deck against them

>>46694317

>>46694338
Mulls less* I should say.

>>46694338
You don't have a mirror match, it's such a rare and jank deck. If you have to, you can sub actual win cons in.


I'm the anon wondering about playing control on modern a bit earlier, and I found this.

>>46694399
>You don't have a mirror match, it's such a rare and jank deck
This. Nobody in their right mind plays Shared Fate. Your odds of a mirror match are less than an Open the Vaults mirror, which is about the strangest thing I've seen.

>>46694317
I went to a different shop to play modern once. some autist was playing this deck against a newbie with budget infect. they were both so bad me and another 2-0 guy were staring in disbelief.

his wincon was "wait until I draw your breeding pool, and then a glistener elf." it was pretty fucking gay.

>>46693467
I'd play it in grixis rather than uw

Im finishing a Living End Deck but I dont know if i should add 4 Bloodstain Mires or 4 Blackcleave Clubes. The reason is because fetch are staples, and can use in other Deck (and in the future might increase it's economical value), while the fastlands might get reprinted and lose their value. My Deck already has some basic lands, 4 Wooded Foothills, and 2 of each red/green/black shocklands. Do you think adding more fetches might ruin the Deck by the lack of fastlands vs burn or very fast (aggro) decks? Best regards.

>>46702252
No. Legendary is a supertype. Delirium counts card types (Land, Creature, Artifact, etc.)

It can play through all of that with a skilled pilot. With needle you just take the alternate route, with yard hate you go through the breach, with skull crack you simply play around it(don't run into it vs a burn deck, sometimes you have 1/2 iok post board, and git gud probe to check for/remove it)

Need advice, playing Naya burn in a 32 man tomorrow, I need to know what is good board against a boros burn/lifelink deck(soul fire grandmaster, lightning helix, Ajani vengeant etc) it's one of the decks I lost to today and will probably play against tomorrow, I'm thinking of adding pitching needle against Ajani vengeant??

Also, how does burn deal with decks that go off quicker like goblins? I lost to an atarka goblin deck that didn't run bushwhackers, it was more centered on collected company I guess? Do I just try to clear his board until he's out of gas?

Any sideboard advice would be cool

Also is the nacatl worth playing? And how can I reduce the damage I'm taking from lands while still efficiently using my mans?

I want to good tomorrow so I need your guys help

The rest in peaces were added to the sideboard for jund/living end and to make snapcaster Mage worse but I think I can cut them entirely because the 1 living end player is playing bogles and I think it's fringe against jund/snapcaster

It does shut off scooze though which is good against me

I just got a third path to exile for my sideboard so I could or at least cut one for my third path

So yeah, any advice would be great

Pic related is other cards that were in or could go in sideboard, I have others too like pithing needle, Grafdiggers cage, stony silence etc

>>46704866
Are you playing Skullcrack main ?
Atrka's Command ?
The prevent lifegain clause is very important against decks that have incdental lifegain.
If you're not playing one of those MB, I would suggest -1 Kor, -1 Deflecting Palm for 2 Skullcrack.
If you're running Nacatl, Atarka's Command might be better since it can also boost your team on top of the deal 3 or prevent lifegain.

If you're worried about CoCo deck, run Graffdigger's Cage instead of Rest in Peace.

So yeah, I would go
-3 Rip
-1 Kor
-1 Deflecting

+2 Atarka's Command
+2 Grafdigger's Cage
+1 Skullcrack

>>46704967
4 atarkas command main 2 skullcracks main, considering 4 main or at least more in the board I'm also running searing blaze as a 3 of mainboard but I'm considering it as a 4 of considering our meta is aggro heavy

If you need advice playing fucking Burn you should probably quit mtg altogether.

Chill out

Sideboarding is hard

Anyone tried out Mikokoro in Tron after bans? I'm starting to think it's a more simple and functional solution than all the Academy Ruins/Sanctum tomfoolery. Gives a tutor an useful target in late game, helps you dig and giving your opponent cards shouldn't matter that much when playing against anything but Ad Nauseam, Infect and Burn.

They're really not, Affinity and Jund don't give two shits. Infect can just dump hand for lethal become immense and protect with Apostle.

>>46707994
Meh... I tested it several times against Burn and it was simply not favorable.
