>Advice for any1 who wants to buy proxies
Don't buy blue or white core, just black core
Always ask the seller for the latest batch, this is most important when you are buying sinlgles
Buying sets is obviously cheaper, and buying 4 sets could give you almost all the staples for 200 dollaridoos, but not all cards are the same quality. so be aware of that

As a normie I love playing stuttering social retards. Really fucks up thier game. Get my wife to come by and kiss me and say hi to my son, have bachelor's and a good job, speak like a normal human being in normal social situations.

Really fucks them up and makes them super upset so they try that elite nerd shit and I laugh.

Not the guy from above, but here's a detail of two BBs. Top one is real. The color difference does really depend on whom you order from.

On aliexpress stores:

Gathering House is shit. Plasticky poker cards, with the color either too dark (Liliana) or too light (abrupt decay). Would not use.

Liquid Cocoa Mall is shit. They send out the exact same stuff as Gathering House.

Black Lotus. Used them for their fetches, which look pretty great aside from the Onslaught ones. Nobody can quite seem to do the Onslaught fetches: they're far too dark.

Best Shopping Centre. Best product IMO. Best color, best card-feel, best thickness. I'm going to buy more from them. Fetches certainly, but also try out some Legacy stuff.

The good thing with Aliexpress is that, from my experience, if you bitch and moan enough about their product in the review of it, they will likely offer you 'a refund' which they (in their chinaman lack of precision with English) use to mean a 'partial refund'. But if you take it to arbitration, the arbiters from aliexpress side with you and give you the full refund. Make sure to keep the email trail of evidence, because you can screenshot that shit and use it as evidence.

Should I build grixis with dank dwellers and AV or mardu with Bob, Lili and low to the ground

>>47369598

It's so weird that I don't feel guilty buying and selling fakes (as real)

But taking advantage of the Chinamen that produced these products seems wrong to me.

I'm morally fucked.

>>47369906
Feels awkward to me. And I've one upped you, my girlfriend plays. Has decks that easily out value most others in value and playability. It's like people don't know how to react. Luckily it's rare where I'm from, but when it happens it weirds me the fuck out.

And without sleeves.

You can still see the difference either way, but if you were playing a full playset of them, without any real ones in the mix, I'd be hard pressed to tell the difference.

>>47370318
When there's that much difference you almost have to go all fakes.

>>47370264
Just remember that most people, like you, see them as yapping chihuahuas and nothing more.

Yapping chihuahuas can get pretty annoying.

Lol banned becuase i backed a guy up who had criticism about Gabby.

The irony is real when you point out that if your a white male you get censored, and then they ban you.

>>47370318

Legit magic cards can look off too so if you have one of those in a deck with 3 real ones it won't be enough to accuse you unless they force you to take the card out of the sleeve and inspect it further.

>>47370521
They are. But you also learn to disregard them because that's all they do.

>>47369274
I'm playing infect as my first modern deck
wanting to get a second deck
Should i get abzan liege/Wilted Abzan?

>>47370037
Not really.

The MTG secondary market is fucked, so getting around it using proxies is easy to rationalize.

The Chinese guys who make the proxies are probably poor and do this work alongside their soul-crushing assembly line jobs, so screwing them out of a few dollars just because you're THAT cheap feels wrong.

Honestly Spartz is ok, she has fine synergy with LSV.

>>47370609
That's what we think. but we don't know if they can already do perfect copies, and profit both from their mistakes and their succes

I don't sell the cards but i trade them to get what i need, i trae scalding tarns and blood moons that are the best i get

>>47370617
the thing is she got the job literally only because she's an attractive white female

>>47370633
>I don't sell the cards but i trade them to get what i need
That's the only thing that's actually wrong, because you're lying to other players AND taking advantage of them.

>>47370674
>Is more wrong to get their cards that their money
Its a thing of perspective. i'm trading cardboard for cardboard that costed the same to produce. not cardboard for paper that has legally a value of acquisition in other context besides the hobby.

>>47370700
Same argument can be said of counterfeit money

>>47370700
No, it's more wrong to trade OR sell the proxies than to buy or use the proxies, you mong.

Selling fakes to people makes you worse than the Chinese. It makes you a thief.

Where do I go to discuss modern?

>>47370750
What do you want to discuss?

>>47370750

>>47370750
There's plenty of posts not related to modern. Youre choosing not to get involved with them.

>>47370723
Magic cards aren't legal tender.

Are Villa counterfeits the best? Anyone here order dual lands from him?

>>47370700
Legally the market value that you scam people of whether cardboard, plastic, dogshit willl be used to determine your punishment/crime. So just because it's cardboard for cardboard and not cardboard for money doesn't make it legally any better unless you explicitly tell them it's fake. And obviously you're already a morally bankrupt dong.

>>47370700
yeah you're walking the slippery rope

if you only use fakes yourselves and get caught, you can probably get away with it

if you sell fakes to other people, you'll be a pariah and chances are charges will be pressed, because what you do is scamming.

if you want to get out, just go to everyone you traded the fakes and tell them your source of cards was getting you fakes and you discovered it only now, and then reverse the trade. it won't be pleasant, but it won't get you in jail.

Yea, I made about 3 grand selling fakes.
Using human proxies of course, at WORST you can plea ignorance.

You could probably fight it and say you sold them as real and they swapped with fakes.

There's really no way to lose. Besides maybe getting caught locally and having rep tarnished. But that still dosent stop you from selling online.

>>47370936
There are no legal precedents/basis about this stuff which is always a huge risk. If shit hits the fan, I'd hate to be in your position, since you might very well walk free, but also go to jail.

Also how do you want to plea ignorance? Judge will ask how you acquired the fakes for below market price, so you could sell/trade them.

There's no legal precedent because nobody has ever been charged for selling colored cardboard.

>>47371061

I'm not debating that the cards would be fake. Of course they are.

I could plea of ignorance, probably wouldn't work.
Or accuse him of stealing my cards and swapping with fakes.

All id need is some well documented evidence which is easily done buy purchasing duals from reputable sources. I'd be making the money back from selling the fakes anyways.

A bud of mine got caught at GP Toronto a year or two ago with fake Fulminator Mages. He feigned ignorance, and the organizers forced him to buy new ones from vendors or trade for them if he wanted to continue the tournament, which he did.

What no judge who inspected his deck caught was that all of his Lilis, Goyfs, and 90% of his manabase were all counterfeits. Walked out of there free with his DCI membership in good standing.

>>47371262
How he got caught? Random deck check? How good/bad the Fulminators were? I'd imagine they had to be pretty sloppy, since it's hard to tell a double sleeved fake during a regular deckcheck.

>>47370604
I think that depends on what your goals are. Do you just want a fun deck?

Do you want a second deck to beat the metawhen it adjusts, making infect bad? If thats the case, i would maybe build black green infect, as it seems better able to beat control. Or maybe Tron or Scapeshift if Jund is a problem for you.

>>47370700
I would fistfuck your face if i had the chance.

>>47370426
Left one is real, actually. The fakes tend to go darker—which sometimes makes them look 'better' (or at least crisper) than the real ones.

>>47370371
To be safe, for sure. But I play these in a burn deck, so I've been without incident so far with them mixed with reals. They all go to the graveyard anyways, and stack up on one another.

>>47371298
They were really bad. The text was as blurry as parkinsons photography. It was actually an opponent who brought them into question.
The upside was that the judges expected all fakes to look as shitty, so the bright fetches/shocks and dark Lili/Goyfs got an instant pass.

>>47371363
You can't really identify a fake only because of it's brightness, since real cards are wildly inconsistent, too. Also it's only really visible when you directly compare the cards unsleeved.

If you have decent double sleeved fakes, presumably even the matte ones, you are completely safe.

What decks can you play now that you couldn't play because of Splinter Twin?

>>47371778
I know you're going for the metaphorical approach, but maybe Living End since it lost its worst MU and 3 mana wraths on turn 2 seem okay in the current meta, even though it was playable with Ricochet Trap in the sb back in the day as well.

>>47371778
bant chaff drum, the you know one with the combo mana trio with all the in place pieces for the turn second.

Maybe at the kitchen table at the psych ward you can do that, where the quadriplegic can't respond with removal becuase he can't hold his hand.
But not in the big leagues buddy. Not a fucking chance. Even the thought of seeing this card across from me makes me feel sick. I'd actually feel bad last picking this in draft. Let alone playing it in standard.

Fuckin' Vintage really?, out of all cards in SoI, when shit like Traverse the Ulvenwald and Cryptolith Rite are printed and THIS is the one card that sees eternal format play?

I got a couple, what are the odds they become cash in my pockets?

>>47373462

vintage is a unique format, especially for creatures

a lot of creatures suck in the context of your opponent also having multiple creatures, but if they have none, it can be vintage viable, i.e. scab clan berserker

>>47373462
Uh, quite a bit is playable in Legacy.

Thing in the Ice has been doing quite well, Tireless tracker is starting to see quite a lot of play as an advantage engine for non-blue fair decks (Maverick/Nic Fit primarily), and the meme frog also sees play in Nic Fit.

>>47373502
Well, fuck me in the ass with a red-hot iron if I understand the first thing about Vintage or what passes for viable in it. If anything I though those two and maybe Avacyn would be Vintage viable.

Likewise I get the feeling that Modern is full of powerhouses that never see play because they don't fit in a deck. Maybe they were standard staples back in the day, maybe they were part of a Modern deck that fell in desuse. But the more I look the more convinced am I there's lots of untapped potential in this format.

Look at the new Avacyn for example. She's all the rage in Standard for a very simple reason: the fact that she's crazy powerful and can win you games with ease. And yet, 0 Modern play.

The Gitrog monster is another case. Guy seems practically MADE for dredge and still manages to see no play.

I bet that if we started dilligently brewing we could put out one T1 Modern deck every other week.

>>47373631
>Tireless tracker
That card's the shit. Got it in my Bant Clues deck and it just puts out so, so much work. Investigate is turning out to be a very fun mechanic.

Lots of tricks on their sleeves.

I won't lie, its not elves or merfolk, but mass hexproof from Drogskol Captain is a very useful tool, plus, Phantasmal Image + Aether Vial allows you to have 2 lords by turn 3.

Instant Hexproof from Rattlechains wards from Path, Bolt and the like, and its mass flash effect is great alongside Topplegeist, perhaps one of the best 1-drops ever printed. There's not many great ETB effects for this tribe though. Just a couple of good ones would make the tribe good enough for Modern.

The high number of creatures goes great with Anafenza, an excellent legendary that gives all your creatures a lot of board pressence alongside the Drogskol / Phantasmal Image combo, and if tokens are more your cup of tea the tribe has some of the best token generators out there, Spectral Procesion, Lingeribg Souls, Promise of Bunrei...

There's also Saint Traft, whose power speaks for itself. I personally don't quite think he fits in the deck, but he IS able to put the hurt on te opponent real fast.

the real seller for me is Godhead of Awe though. Most of the creatures you play have lowish P/T, so your side of the board doesn't loose much while keeping the +1/+1 effects from counters and lords. On the other side the opponent's board is left in shambles. You can't even get rid of Godhead because at that point everything has Hexproof or if not they could just play a Rattlechains.

Tribal also means the deck uses Cavern of Souls which means these fuckers can't be countered. All in all, its very hard to get rid of them other than a total boardwipe and even then the fact the deck's part blue means they'll just counter that shit.

Here's a link to the list I use

http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/17-04-16-CET-spirit-tribal/

>>47374538
Ayy, I remember making that with you guys. You actually built it? How does it run?

>>47374538
Is the black splash really worth it? Lingering souls is a very very good card, but why are you playing a Dimir Catpurse? It's body is kinda shitty and has no evasion. Also, why Anguished Unmaking, and why are you not running a full playset of Paths? Bloodghasts I'm kinda iffy about because of the double black. I'm also failing to see the reason for the random 2 serum visions.

>>47374538
Lovin' that sb

>>47374538
If I use Mirror Entity's ability to buff all of my creatures, does that override Godhead of Awe's constant effect until the end of turn? If so I think I just found the perfect addition to my UW Bird Tribal deck, they were all 1/1s anyways.

>>47375239
I don't think so but I ain't no darn judge

anyone wanna play against my janky funbrew on xmage

>>47374769
Its quite gud. I was actually the one who got Godhead in there. Anguished Unmaking, Always Watching, Invasive Surgery and Ojutai's Command were my suggestions too.

I've also been testing some cards, like pic related in place of Serum Visions or Lingering Souls.

I've been also testing wether it'd be convenient to change the colors from Esper to Bant. There are quite a few tricky but possibly good spirits in there. A small list:

>Kodama of the Center Tree
>Kodama of the South Tree
>Lifespinner
>Loam Dweller
>Sekki, Season's Guide
>Seedborn Muse
>Windborm Muse

There's more (and the last ain't green), but I don't want to bore you. If you are interested though we could talk about possible changes to the list in a new Spirit tribal thread (wouldn't want to derail the Modern general would we?)

>>47374840
Unguished Unmaking is there for the Tron matchup.

Dimir Cutpurse I never really liked personally, but the draw bad discard ARE nice... I guess.

I do run a full set of paths, but I cannot modify that list myself.

The Bloodghasts are really good. They work great with Anafenza and give the deck both attacking power and endurance. Like Anafenza, the casting cost isn't too much of an issue because you can play it with Aether Vial.

The Serum Visions I wasn't there when they got included. Prolly would have argued against it. I think the main objective was triggering Topplegeist's delirium?, That's why I want to change them by Promise of Bunrei, which not only does that but also gives a shitload of tokens.

I've been wondering about that black splash myself, but it does give you access to a lot of cool tech. I even came to consider 4 color spirits but even I am not that ballsy.

Oh, I forgot the pic.

>>47373451
It really can't, stop shitposting.

>>47375562
Serum visions is not a card that you just jam into any and all blue decks. It's only really useful for blue combo decks, or blue decks that need to dig for their win condition(s).

>>47375610
Any idea on what to cut to shove in the last 2 Promise of Bunrei?

>>47375689
Yeah, I know, don't know why I listened to that guy.

the fact that I'm shuffling and playing with hundred dollar bills makes me laugh everytime

>>47375562
I'd also perhaps would relegate Anguished Unmaking to the sideboard completely. I can see it being a reasonable tech card against Tron, but having just that 1 card in a deck of 60 cards makes it unreliable. You can't reasonably rely on it to come to your rescue if you need to exile that Karn asap. Also, is Tron really that prevalent in you meta in the first place? I'm also really iffy on the card being mainboard because of the three life loss. That is just a deathwish against burn, affinity, and other linear aggro decks.

I'm also meh about the invasive surguries, and the 1 of remand. You're deck's mainboard doesn't run any counterspells at all, so having 3 counterspells (incredibly niche ones at that) seems out of place. The reason why you see things like 2 Negates and 1 Dispels in sideboard for control decks, is to switch out their 7ish mainboard counterspells to better counter their opponent's gameplan. I would take them out entirely for something else, you're an aggro deck, not a control deck.

>>47373212
>>47373227
Modern Dredge also uses it.
It has such nice synergy with Gravecrawler and Bloodghast.

>>47369472
I see white core, black core, blue core and German paper as options. Is German paper any good?

>>47371257
Any red fetches are fine if you're on burn.

>>47375973
That makes a lot of sense. As for the sideboard, sideboards are generally very meta-specific, so while I did cut the counterspells, you should be making your own anyway.

I'm an entry level player who likes ROTK and has money to waste. Is this deck a good enough for friday night magic? Could I make it better with support from P3K? (sorry if this is the wrong place to ask)

>>47376721
this is surely a joke, this cant even beat the meta, such a meme deck

It's browbeat playable in Burn?
Anyone tried?

>>47376964
It's bad

>>47376995
Why? Your opponent surely won't take 5, so you get to draw 3, which is pretty great, is a lot of ammo, if you weren't able to deal enough or if your opponent has gained some life.

>>47376964
There is literally no reason ever to run any 3 cmc spells in modern burn. Also, cards that give your oppoents a choice are pretty bad in general.

>>47376898

You can play it casually (it's way too weak for modern not to mention legacy/vintage). Also those cards aren't modern legal.

>in b4 some faggots being jerks

>>47377300
Still worth the buy imo. Thanks cuz.

>>47369918
Awesome, thanks anon

>>47376964
You never have that much mana at your disposal in Burn so I say that it wouldn't be worth it, since you will likely not have that much mana left after casting a 3CMC card.

>>47377105
I ran Exquisite Firecraft for a short while when anticipating control decks at certain local stores near me.

>>47375562
>>47375701
Excuse me, the chan just decided not to work for a whole hour for me. Just when I was sending my post too.

Anyways, I have a few suggestions:

>Remove Essence Flux
They are nice tribal support, but what do they really do for the deck when everything already has Hexproof and you can just cast Rattlechains for 1 more?, If these creatures had powerful ETB effects It'd have a pass, but as it is the counter they give is just not worth it.

>Delegate Anguished Unmaking to the sideboard
>>47375973 is 100% right about this. You should up the number to at least 3 in the sideboard though, when you need it you really want to run into it and this deck doesn't have draw and can't tutor it either.

>Remove Kira, add more Kataki
Kira does jackshit, I haven't used him a single time or ran into any situation I would have wanted to cast him. Kataki on the other hand I can't even begin to describe how hard he shits on artifact-based decks, specially when he has hexproof and can't be countered. Really, he's so good that you could even take out Stony Silence for more space on the SB though you won't see me doing that because I have a particularly strong disgust for Affinity.

>Remove Ojutai's Command
A sad lone command does very little sitting on the sideboard like that.

>Add in Windborn Muse
Holy shit this spirit is stupid good. Taxing this strong is very useful and gimps Aggro and Midrange decks. Honestly I expect it to be a silver bullet against Abzan Company. Plus, it kind of combos with Promise of Bunrei since Promise is a deterrent that keeps your opponents from blocking to prevent you from putting a shitton of tokens boosted by lords while Windborn makes it so they can't take the chance to strike back effectively. At worst its prime Sideboard material.

>Add in another Anafenza
You REALLY want to see an Anafenza every game you play. After all those +1/+1 counters make possible attacking for 15 T4. She's part of the 'ideal game scenario', so to speak.

>>47375973
I'm not so sure this tribal wants to go full aggro. There are quite a few card in the tribe that support a more control-oriented style of play. I'd say its 60% aggro, 40% control.

Also the Invasive Surgeries were there for the Scapeshift matchup. No Scapeshift in your meta -> no Surgeries. if anything Mana Leak would be the counterspell to go with, specially with other taxing effects like Windborn Muse.

>UB Mill

Because Nahiri is the only win condition ever in that deck. They totally don't got bolts and snappys.

>>47382920
They totally won't with 2-3 millrocks and en Ensnaring Bridge in play.

>>47382983

It's a favorable matchup for sure. But it's not an instant win.

>>47382850
GR Tron

He finished 7-2 with 2 byes and its his first GP.

I got caught using proxies last week. Traveling, wanting to play some modern at LGS in the midwest. Some greasy manlet noticed that the coloring of my arcbound ravager was off, called the owner over and made him deckcheck me. At this point the contingency plan is to be as helpful and be as ignorant as possible. Nothing really happened, at all, because who the fucks cards if you're using proxies besides autistic manlets who get mad when you dont spend thousands of dollars on cardboard like they did.

>>47378621

Were you playing for prizes? If so, ya really shouldn't use fakes. If it's casuals, yea the guy's reaction was a bit over the top. I can totally get why it would bother somebody if someone was playing with counterfeits. If all you're playing is casual matches, its way better to avoid drama by letting them know you are using proxies. If they are okay with it, great, if not, play something else/play with someone else.

>>47383065
I'm planning to sell all my cards and just use the fakes. Also looking to maybe build a couple cubes with the cheaper white core cards. As long as the printing is good enough to read then it's fine with me. Just spend a few bucks to receive a new cube in the mail? Sounds really fun.

>>47383160
I really fail to see the point of triple sleeving. Seems redundant to the point where it add nothing else, and only makes it a bigger hassle to shuffle and store.

>>47383166

>>47373736

Funny thing about Vintage is that it generally plays much less creature removal as opposed to Legacy and Modern. So even creatures that attack for 2-3 and can either be thrown into play for free or cast very quickly and disrupt your opponent are a viable option.

>>47375239

Timestamp order determines P/T with Godhead+Mirror Entity.

If Godhead is in play first, then Mirror Entity shows up later and activates the ability(say X being 4 in this case)then everything is a 4/4(on your side.)

>>47383065
Darksteel Ravager or MM Ravager? Because all of the artifacts in Darksteel and Mirrodin have lighter card frames that what we're used to now.

I'm too tired for this. Meant legacy.

>>47383110
Ofc. I'm just glad to help.

One last note on Promise of Bunrei. Like Windborn, it is great if you are playing VS aggro or something that uses boardwipes since it fiercely repopulates your board afterwards (doubly so with Lingering Souls), but VS control you might like Spectral Procession better. It only generates one token less and unlike Bunrei's they fly. The evasion really helps closing games quickly.

Also my friend suggested a little common, albeit I'm unsure about its possible inclussion. Dreamcatcher was the name. I prefer Ghost-lit Redeemer though.

>>47389721
This. Keep big mana down!

>>47374340
That wasn't random placement, you uncultured swine.

>>47389088
Thanks. I haven't played the game for a while and some of the people I was playing with said I couldn't do that. I still won the match and got second place overall at this little thing I went to. It would have just been faster.

>>47389168
This meme was more funny back when modern was actually shit.
With Eldrazi menace gone it's actually pretty good.

>>47389115
Not him but self mill?

>>47389691
>>47390656
Eldrazi being banned hasn't fixed any of the problems modern had before OGW

>>47390793
But at least there's no more Eldrazi

>>47390848
Meanwhile, Eldrazi on the feature match.

>>47390888
No, that's Tron

>>47390888
But it's balanced Eldrazi. I personally think it's nice to see something being balanced instead of just nerfed to the ground.

>>47390278
That really wasn't where the comma is meant to go. There shouldn't have been one at all, in fact.

Is Tron the most skill-intensive deck in Modern?

MM or Ravnica Bobs?

>>47392369
Ravnica. MM looks like a more retarded Skrillex

>>47392304
no, tron is a FUN deck ;^)

>>47392369
MM
I like the darker tone and honestly I think the art is just silly for ravnica one

>>47392304
Tron is Lucksack, The Deck. Luck alone determines whether or not you can start playing by turn 3.

>>47392648
>what is the game of Magic
I'll agree that you can draw into Tron and luck is a little more relevant, but knowing the most effecient way to get to it isn't really straightforward

>>47392304
It's probably one of the most anger inducing.

>>47392648
The entire deck is built around setting up tron by turn 3 or 4. It's hardly luck: that's just how the deck is built.

>>47387243
and I was going to pay money to go to this, I guess I should thank work for taking me away.

GPLA meta looks nice, modern seems very open. Looking forwards to what ends up the streamlines version of Eldrazi/Tron since they seem to be merging.

>>47388823
I dont see how CC is any different than Twin, can someone explain?
>both cost 4
>both 90% of the time in hand will let you combo win
>both done end step (instant/flashing in for twin on your turn)

not saying either need banning, just dont get why one was banned and the other wasnt when they end up doing the same thing

>>47388876
wait for cristaline to be reprinted

>>47392304
I've played pretty much everything, and Tron doesn't even come to mind as difficult.

What does come to mind:
Amulet Bloom
Norin Twin (can you play an entire event without missing a single trigger?)
Affinity (some math, deal with it)
UR Storm (to win, you have to play it perfectly)

>>47392867
things that will never ever be modern legal: the post sadly

>>47392833
The control elements in twin ensures they can push their combo through removal as well as slow other combo decks.

Also, Infinite life is beatable for some decks, infinite exarchs much less so.

>>47392732
>>47392758
You can go 8 turns without assembling Tron, through no fault of your own. It's luck when you get it by turn 3, and it's luck when you get run over without finding it.

>>47392916
No, that rarely happens on its own unless your opponent has never played tron, and thus doesn't know what hands to keep, or your opponent is directly interacting with your lands or your tutors.

12 tron lands
4 sylvan, 4 maps
8 stars

That's 28 cards, almost half your deck.

>>47392883
>Affinity (some math, deal with it)

Affinity is more 'know when to mull, spew hand and hope for no sweeper/g2 sb hate'. Burn is even a more difficult deck certain match ups, just because you keep cards in-hand and have to decide if they got to face or a bird/threat.

>>47392897
maybe the next legendary is a hexproof one

>>47392977
But it can happen, and it does happen in major tournaments, and there's nothing the pilot can do about it.

>>47392916
1. Any deck can draw that badly if god hates them. Saying "you can lose because you didnt draw your wincon" is applicable to most every deck
2. Assebling Tron turn 3 is fairly consistent, i don't know what you mean. The deck is built to do it.

>>47392992
yeah but that fucker will be expensive manawise. hexproof seems too powerful without a "other slivers" wording

>>47392978
>know when to mull, spew hand and hope for no sweeper/g2 sb hate
That reductionism

Burn is more 'throw your hand at your opponent's face and hope that's good enough'. See what I did there? Affinity is more difficult than you give it credit for, and if you've never played it before, please stop. Also, I've played burn since Zendikar and only recently switched to Affinity. Affinity is harder, deal with it.

>>47392992
one mana of each color 7/7 or 5/5 like always

>>47387243
The thousand people that dropped were the thousand that didn't stand a chance anyways.

Mayor fuckup though. I won't argue that.

>>47393005
Sure it happens. Bad luck happens to every deck. Tron is not unique in this instance.

How good does it feel to hit ancestral vision with GDD?

Thinking of buying into grixis

I have got both Living End and Affinity, and I was thinking of making a Suicide (Deaths Shadow) Zoo, since I got a few fetches to use, do you guys think is a good Deck to build? I know it's a tier 3...

>>47393439
You already have 2 modern decks, why build another? Invest in legacy or something.

Just ordered some fakes. The newest run of black core. I'll let you know how it goes.

>Also, I've played burn since Zendikar and only recently switched to Affinity.

you have no right to talk about deck piloting if all youve done since ZEN is burn.

>>47393805
I've played mono black devotion and mono blue devotion during theros standard, UB control and UW Heroic in KTK standard. I also play Storm in Legacy. Fuck off.

>>47393501
Epic

>>47393464
Not him but I have nowhere to play nearby

>>47393464
Legacy is almost non existentes where I live. I dont know, I enjoy doing deals and trading, I sold a Tooth and Nail (without lands) and an incomplete Merfolks to get an Affinity Deck. I got a playset of Wooded Foothills (plus a playset of Bloodstain Mire in LE), and had that idea, since it would cost less than 100€ to finish, but im scared I might not like it, specially when compared to Affinity.

>>47393996
Do what you want. I just don't see a reason to invest in another aggro deck when you have a perfectly fine one in Affinity.
