Essentially. You also have MB Leyline of Sanctity to fuck with some decks and Porphyry Nodes as removal early on. Nykthos for mana.

I might try moving away from Form of the Dragon and try something like Searing Meditation as a wincon instead. Maybe run something spicy like Shining Shoals in the SB.

Yes, and? This has nothing to do with what their individual MU looks like. Ideal will get raped by Tron and any number of other decks but it might do well against Dredge.

there was an implied "it" in there, I'm sure

>>50597881
blue moon
sun and moon
skred
ponza

None of these decks is anywhere near aggro and I'd argue the only one that isn't control is r/g ponza.

It was a typo yeah, could've deduced that from the first sentence.

>>50597942
oh yeah it makes a lot more sense with an "it" in there. I've seen stupider things posted here than "modern is nothing but control"

Well in that case, 3 mana is a lot for aggro in modern so that's a reason. Also some affinity decks side blood moon

Always liked GW beatdown decks in Standard, and love playing Maverick in Legacy. Don't have a Modern deck yet. How worthwhile is GW Hatebears?
>>
>>50597955

If you weren't bad and actually put in some reps with the deck you'd know that you can interact with the deck by stripping their hand and destroying the artifacts. Also shit like Rule of Law/Ethersworn Canonist/Chalice on 0 and 1 also work in slowing them down long enough.
>>
>>50598513
GW hatebears is usually played as D&T in modern. GW D&T is viable in modern but way weaker than the mono W legacy counterpart.

I had a question about spell stacking,
So in a game of magic I had a friend target one of my creatures (creature doesn't matter)
I use Mother of Runes to protect the creature against anything green, he then use uses the same green spell (different card though) and targets the same monster.
He says that the spell stack trumps mother of runes because of spell stacking, but I don't understand because I already protected that monster against green for the rest of the turn and the spell didn't do anything to negate that effect.

Am I right where the Mother of Runes still protects the monster, or is he right about the spell stack?
>>
>>50597791
I have it in my Affinity sideboard. I still feel sorry for the poor bastard playing his all non-basic manabase when I dropped it first turn.
>>
>>50599467
>This is not a thread for beginners. We expect you to already know how to play. There are plenty of articles and videos on how to play
>>
>>50599467
he's right. you have to think of it like what it is: a stack.

he casts Green Spell targeting your Creature. In response, you use mother of runes to target your Creature giving it protection from Green. This goes "on the stack" on top of the green spell, which hasn't resolved yet. In response to you activating Mom, he casts another Green Spell targeting your Creature, which then goes on the stack on top of the Mom ability. Once everyone's done doing everything, stuff starts resolving in reverse order, basically from the top of the stack downward: i.e., his Green Spell resolves, then your creature gets Pro Green (if it's still there) and the first Green Spell fizzles since creature is pro green now.
>>
>>50599467
>He plays green spell targeting your creature
>In response to target you activate Mom's ability to give that creature protection from Green
>In response to you activating Mom's ability he casts green spell again targeting the creature that you are targeting with Mom's ability.

Stack resolves in his favor.
>>
>>50599547
>>50599602
Common misconception with mom. the color for protection is not chosen until resolution. If he asks what color of protection, the ability is assumed to resolve.
>>
>>50599635
True facts B. But I assume any half-decent player knows to respond to the target rather than ask what color he's choosing for protection, since the pro-color choice would be obvious.

Id say it is more mono-red control or midrange than prison. The only prison card it runs is blood moon.

What is the bolt test
>>
>>50606188
more than 4 toughness; needs to not die to galvanic blast
>>
>>50606188

>What is the bolt test

First criteria:
Does not die to bolt
>Aka: hexproof, indestructible, shroud, >3 toughness

Second criteria:
Dies to bolt, but gives you value regardless
>Kitchen Finks, Stoneforge Mystic, Eternal Witness, cantrip creatures

Third criteria:
Dies to bolt, but doesn't matter because you didn't lose any tempo (creature costed 1 mana typically), and the benefits outweighed the downsides
>Birds of paradise, glistener elf, hierarch, delver, wild nacatl

Certain creatures see play that don't meet any of these criteria. Typically they are "must answer" creatures that provide overwhelming advantage if the opposing player doesn't have an answer.

>Dark Confidant, arguably monastery mentor? Once again very few playable creatures fall into this category

You can just relax and enjoy the feeling of playing in a tournament.

My decisions are usually easy. My sideboarding is straight forward. My matchups are hardly ever strictly bad. And my deck is so consistent that opponent's drawing poorly or mulliganing are usually free wins.

I go to tournaments to hang out, meet people, and indulge my card game lust, not feel like I'm magic'ing the most magic that I can magic. Burn is easy and fun, and just wins.

I don't really dedicate my life to the game, but I can still compete at a decent skill level without a huge time investment.

I'm fine with it continuing, Burn shits on those decks.

>>50607269
I meant it in the way that Infect relies more on its pieces than burn. Infect can't do a single thing without a creature, whereas burn can win entire games without playing any.

Infect needs creature + pump spells

Burn needs creature and/or burn, doesn't always need both.

"Combo."

I have a few questions for you guys:

>What do you look for in a Magic article?
>When was the last time you read a Magic article from beginning to end? What was it about?
>What do you think there should be more of, in terms of articles out there? Less of?

I ask because I'm a dirty shill for a certain site and I want to write articles that people will actually enjoy.
>>
>>50608650
MTG Gold Fish for looking up decks mostly, what's doing well recently.

I don't read a lot of MTG articles but if it's something like a deck or sideboard guide proof you've put up results with the deck. If it's something more meta like ban discussion more information in the article than just your opinion. Anyone can tell me they think SSG is unfair, give me stuff like when wizards banned things previously and why, meta statistics at the time, etc.

Grixis control guide. Saffron Olive's dredge history for a no specific deck article.

Less ban articles, at the very least until the next time they actually ban something.
>>
>>50608650
>>What MTG sites do you guys read regularly?
None.
>>What do you look for in a Magic article?
Complaints about the price of this game, stores struggling, the complete disregard for long-term players.
>>When was the last time you read a Magic article from beginning to end? What was it about?
Probably something about Cube. Can't remember, because they're everything else is fucking opinion pieces.
>>What do you think there should be more of, in terms of articles out there? Less of?
Instead of writing fucking articles a site needs to compile and update a giant history of formats and metagames and update that; instead of forcing people to crank out garbage every week pay them to be archivists. I'm tried of seeing endless what should be banned/unbanned articles. Guess what, there are no articles that contain facts, they're all opinion and speculation pieces. But you're not going to do that, because Magic players need their idiot-crack.

Recycling Ichor Wellsprings into eggs for more draw.

Eggs recycling into Moxen for more mana.

Downside being that playing 3 mana artifact creatures that gets hit by every removal ever seems like a horrible idea. Although I'm not a fan of current iteration of eggs needing to resolve Vaults either.

I had this (bad) idea in a dream, decided tp post while I still remember.

I know this might be heavy coming from the guy you responded, but that sounds like a terrible standard jank spiced with modern jank. Only card I love is Myr Retriever as another 2 CMC, but every card like that is pushing it further into jank oblivion of greed.
>>
>>50610294
It was still KCI eggs but instead of Vault he ran Outcome. Outcome seemed a little weak (the anvil carried a lot), but it was still the same eggs core, with a singleton Aetherflux Resevoir as a finisher (since it counts all the spells you've played previously that turn)
And the black puzzleknot (if you don't mind the lifeloss) is a better 2cmc egg than the rest if you want to maximize card drawing.


If they reprinted KCI in standard right now, standardeggs would be totally be a real thing, but for now I guess the Colossus will have to do.

Is it just Affinity that has extremely swingy matchesor maybe the way I play?? It seems like Game 1 is almost always a win if I draw decent action, and then Game 2 and 3 come down to if they draw their hate/I draw my counterhate.

This guy here again. Been goldfishing this thing for a bit. Extremely fragile to disruption I'd imagine, but definitely goes off in trigger hell solitaire fashion. I actually prefer this over Open the Vaults/Faith's Reward version.

Not a fan of Tron lands so far. They feel unnecessary and greedy. I feel it would do better with more colours for a robust sideboard plan.

4x Thirst for Knowledge are tempting, but the deck is already super tight. Definitely need one more 3 CMC artifact which should probably be Workshop Assistant. Could go down 1-2 lands probably, but in that case I would like to have 4th Mind Stone.

More Aetherflux Reservoirs seem tempting, but it's probably a bait and a bad idea. Would like some other side wincon to be able to beat Memoricide effects. Or maybe it's just the fate of this pile to be a glass cannon johnnyjank.

As much as I'm inclined to believe the buttblasting will be biblical, I think a lot of players won't stick around to bitch for too long.

If Wizards even acknowledges Frontier - just writes an article about it. I'm just done.

I don't understand why all the fucking Magic websites are talking about Frontier. Look at these people, they have all the cards, played every format (Modern, Legacy, Vintage) to death to the point they become bored, and start celebrating this new thing while all the other players can hardly justify buying more than one Modern deck. It doesn't help that NONE of them have made any real effort to point out that prices are totally fucked. Writing articles about "budget" decks is not acknowledging a problem.

I actually want to see this game die. I want to see all the people in the secondary market who cashed in on this game who made it all the more harder to play these past ten years lose all the liquidity in their fucking CARDBOARD. I'm pretty sure I own $10,000 in singles and sealed product; I want to see that value drop to $100 regardless whether the game has become cheaper to play or because it has died.

Frontier is to Modern as Tiny Leaders is to EDH. When Wizards does announce a new non-rotating format, it'll start at Magic Origins. This way they get to make a format about the Avengers, and exclude fetchlands/Meme Rhino/Company/delve at the same time.
>>
>>50629830
That would imply the never plan to reprint fetchlands in a standard set, which is highly unlikely. Not only is there a need for the zendikar fetchlands in an unlimited print run set, but those lands basically sell the set themselves.
>>
>>50629870
>That would imply the never plan to reprint fetchlands in a standard set
Funny you should say that, because ZEN fetches tanked overnight.
>>
>>50629901

How and why? Did they announce reprint in MM or something?
>>
>>50629901
Whether or not what you've said is true. So long as Fetchlands are more than $10 I don't see any "tank" in price being practical to anybody wanting to play this format.

It's like saying, "Tarmogoyf tanked to $200". If someone actually in response to that jumped to buy Tarmogoyfs I would actually wish they were dead. I mean that is just an objectively stupid thing to pay for cardboard.
>>
>>50629901
That is not true. The only time they took a price dip was before BFZ was fully spoiled and people thought they would get a legitimate reprint. They are all sitting at 50+ bucks

Several things

1.) No one said anything g about investments. We're just saying that spending money on a hobby isn't stupid if you have the extra income

2.) Sure go ahead and buy Chinaman fakes. I own several, mostly because I can't afford the real things. But as soon as I can, you bet you're ass I'm spending the extra dosh

3.) You're moving the goalposts by trying to bring in "muh investments" and Chinaman. If you don't want to spend the money, then don't. But for those who do want to and can afford to, then it's no different then spending a shit ton on a car or boat or model airplanes or new kitchen appliances. That's the point of disposable income. One day you'll know what that feels like

>We're just saying that spending money on a hobby isn't stupid if you have the extra income
Nope, but buying the mos expensive version of a thing when there is another that is exact the same and does not have any difference bya 1000% the price just because i can is an irrational decition, because for logic the less expensive objecti is much better. ergo your irrationality of expending your income is just stupid and ilogical. if buying a real tarmogoyf would give you any benefit superior than a fake, that would be "smarter" but it does, ergo is stupid
>>
>>50630938
Why would Wizards make an official format out of what some random ass Jap shithole came up with?
>>
>>50630992
>if buying a real tarmogoyf would give you any benefit superior than a fake, that would be "smarter" but it does, ergo is stupid

It does. I can take a real tarmogoyf to a gp. Can't take a fake one. And don't try to say fakes are getting too good to tell the difference, because they are not good enough to fool the professional circuit.
>>
>>50631051
Why would they officially support a format that some bored Alaskans made up?
>>
>>50631051
Part of the conspiracy is that isn't wasn't just the store that came up with it, but wotc themselves, and they were using the store to test the idea. This way, wotc doesn't get heat for trying abolish modern.

The fact you're getting so butt hurt over this shows you know how flimsy your argument is. Hell I don't even know what your arguing. Every knows prices are absurd, and the general consensus on here I chinaman fakes arr they are OK for casual and FNM, but anything else and you're gonna get caught.

Or are you arguing that people should only spend money on what you think is acceptable? And that having disposable income is some abhorrent concept that you think doesn't really exist
>>
>>50631085
Ding ding ding, we have a winner.

What you guys thought the collusion was just a one way street? WOTC informs bigger chains about upcoming products and high value reprints, then these chains repay in kind with "favors."
>>
>>50631073
Because they can sell product for it without worrying what will happen to its metagame. Meanwhile Memetier lets people play all of those fucking amazing cards we all remember that made standard fun as fuck to play, like Siege Rhino and Collected Company. Weren't they the best things to ever happen to standard? Oh just ignore how Siege Rhino killed an entire fucking format in block constructed not to mention made standard an $800 format, and how fetchlands are considered a cancerous waste of time and money, and how delve broke every nonstandard format, and how Company turned standard into a game of coinflips. Gee it sounds fucking incredible to have to put up with that bullshit all over again.

Not even Wizards is stupid enough to endorse a format like that.

3 things are certain in life : death, taxes, and wotc's continual ability to fuck up

>>50631073
I hope the make Frontier official and it becomes more popular than modern. This way we might actually get some non-creature cards that are powerful enough to use in legacy, but won't "break" modern because no one will give a shit about it anymore.

TL;DR Yes please
>>
>>50631254
If frontier gets popular, it would be the death knell for powerful non-creature spells. It would be Coco and rhino value town for the rest of magics foreseeable life. I can pretty much guarantee that powerful spells like DTT and Ruse Cruise would be banned right off the bat if it becomes official. Hell there hasn't been good removal in forever, it would be pure midrange with WotC even more afraid of shaking up two non rotating formats, along with the eternal formats
>>
>>50631254
>actually wanting an eternal format without path and bolt
>>
>>50631455
But Anon, now you can pay 1R to deal up to 3 to a creature!
>>
>>50631455
Pauper, the only eternal format worth anything, doesn't gave path in it.
>>
>>50631532
Nor does it have the insane value creatures that modern has, or the must answer threats that legacy has. Pauper is for the most part a fairly well balanced format. Must be because wizards isn't in charge if it
>>
>>50631455
>implying i would ever play frontier
i just want every casual to go there so i can enjoy legacy without cancerous delver and eldrazi decks
>>
>>50631770
>eldrazi cancerous

Please, having a tier 1 chalice deck is the best thing for legacy. Something has to slow down the cantrip circle jerk.
>>
>>50631808
>chalice at 1

cancer confirmed. Its bad enough we have shit like miracles at 15% of the meta. Why can't we have a format that is about doing fun stuff?
>>
>>50631847
There is. its called _____casual______
>>
>>50631880
That is not a format that is an attitude. I mean its also a format but its no fun.
>>
>>50631914
The fuck playgroup you got where casual isn't fun?
>>
>>50631978
I have power nine and every card from beta to alara most of the good ones in playsets. Its not fun.

It's like you took a pair of relatively consistent decks, and asked yourself, "How can I make both of these inconsistent at the same time?", and by golly you nailed it, son.

At least it was some what related to the thread, instead of all the shit people have been spewing about memetier and fakes.
>>
>>50632167
Something I'm going to miss when MTGSalvation dies is the fact that all the decks there were semi-moderated by the OP who would update their guide on a deck. So you could actually see discussion and reasoning behind card choices in each deck.

Now with sites like this you have to sift through piles of garbage if you want to have any hopes of finding something that might be useful - and the descriptions won't tell you if its even been tested or not unlike on MTGSalvation.

Everything's going to shit.
>>
>>50632326
>This is not a casual thread. This is not a thread for beginners. We expect you to already know how to play. There are plenty of articles and videos on how to play and how to git gud.
Fuck it. I'm done.
>>
>>50632363
everything started going to shit when WOTC decided creatures are the fun part of magic and every effect should be attached to a creature and only creatures are going to be viable for decks. That was the moment we became Yu ghi oh

>I'm going to spend hundreds on small pieces of paper made by ordinary printers

wew lads, I thought warhammer players were cucked but this is something else. So much for being interested in starting lol.

Good
If nobody plays the format then all the best cards in the format will stay cheap, and I can dominate every tournament.
>>
is it possible to play faeries in modern without being a full blown memer?
>>
>>50634040
>king of the retards
someone has to do it.godspeed.


while we are on the subject. Why do people play EDH? Do you think they are mostly mentally retarded people incapable of playing actual magic? Or some of them are so and some are doing it ironically for "fun"
>>
>>50634946
no
>>
>>50635140
If you want to play a casual game at your LGS it's far easier to play EDH than trying to sort out which cards are allows/not allowed in casual modern/legacy/standard etc with the rest of the people there. It's just the best non-competitive format by virtue of being highlander.
>>
>>50635140
>Play Swamp (B)
>Play Dark Ritual (BBB)
>Use Simian Spirit Guide 's ability (BBBR)
>Play Seething Song (BRRRRR)
>Play Sneak Attack (BR)
>Use Sneak Attack to put Hydra Omnivore into play (B) (8/8 haste)
>Play Tainted Strike on Hydra Omnivore (9/8 haste infect)
>Play Mutagenic Growth on Hydro Omnivore (11/10 haste infect)
Attack and Hydra's ability kills all opponents.
Lol kiddo, EDH is a turn 2 infinite combo format, what kind of faggot wouldn't play that
>>
>>50634946
Tell them you want a break from bw tokens

Name a combo people actually play in commander and you might get support. You're better off naming any number of tutors, and a cheap 2 card infinite like Cephalid Illusionist and Shuko

If you don't see how edh is a high power format, you are either stupid or a casualfag. Edh decks have more consistent good t3 kills than modern

Also, mfw someone fucked up this bad on tcgplayer.

How likely is it that they'll even honor one of the cards?

They're a semi-big store though.

i-it would be nice if I could even have one of these for the price.
>>
>>50638641
nothing you can really do. If it was a sort of reasonable price you could probably make a stink about it and pressure them with bad PR, but since it's so low most people will probably agree with them that it was clearly not the real price or something.

She will be a mainstay in Standard for atleast another year. She won't go down much in that time.

If you need one now, pick it up. It's not worth the wait.
