>>51290645
>What's your least favorite matchup?
Playing as Affinity I hated playing against Jeskai control. Electrolyze fucks my shit up.
>When's the last time you played in a competitive tournament?
Since before Eldrazi Winter.
>Do you prefer paper or online?
I'm starting to prefer MTGO actually. I hate paying real money for digital cards, but I'm really enjoying playing whenever I want. Really the only paper I've been playing lately have been cubes. At least on MTGO I don't have to store thousands of trash commons and uncommons I got from drafts.
>What one card do you wish was printed in a standard set to use in Modern?
As much as I hate playing against it probably Counterspell. When I started playing years ago it was everywhere, and I've just gotten used to playing around it. At 2 blue it should be able to slide through standard without too much trouble, if they wait to design a more aggro oriented meta.
>>
>What's your least favorite matchup?
Mirror matches with Tron, the person that starts first usually has the upper hand and wins unless he/she keeps a retarded hand.
>When's the last time you played in a competitive tournament?
Less than a month ago.
>Do you prefer paper or online?
Paper, I play mostly to socialize.
>What one card do you wish was printed in a standard set to use in Modern?
None, I'd prefer wizards to simply reprint some hard to get cards so you don't get anuerysm trying to get them.
>>
>>51290645
>What's your least favorite matchup?
Anything that can sideboard in Leyline of Sanctity because as of yet Neither Red or Black have enchantment answers in modern.
>When's the last time you played in a competitive tournament?
Probably a few months ago didnt do much won first two matchups and got curb stomped in the 3rd match and dropped
>Do you prefer paper or online?
Paper MTGO is unusable trash.
>What one card do you wish was printed in a standard set to use in Modern?
Even though I have no blue decks probably Good ol Counterspell, Hymn to Tourach, or price of progress.
>>
I hope wizards print Berserk in standard set
I want to see infect decks winning consistently t2
and maybe the mechanis as a whole will see a ban

>>51291054
anon as much as I find infect distasteful Infect is necessary as a hard counter to tron. Also its not hard to beat if your on the play inquisition or thought will grab there creature.
However berserk in modern would be fun for zoo based decks
>>
>>51291141
>>51291134

Infect isn't hard to beat and there's a card that rapes it hard which was not even that long ago printed.

I just hate infect as a bullshit mechanic, that is all.
>>
>What's your least favorite matchup?
Infect
>When's the last time you played in a competitive tournament?
A year? Almost a year.

>Do you prefer paper or online?
Paper
>What one card do you wish was printed in a standard set to use in Modern?
Hymn to tourac
>>
>What's your least favorite matchup?
Grixis and Jeskai Decks

>When's the last time you played in a competitive tournament?
I only played FNMs (only started 1 year ago)

>Do you prefer paper or online?
Always paper. I don't care for bits, i enjoy collecting, meet people and sell/trade. The only reason I started playing this game was because I traveled around 5 hours per day to go to collegue and ended up having many period without classes and needed a distraction.

>What one card do you wish was printed in a standard set to use in Modern?
Probably would be the Zendikar Fetchlands, it's what avoid me to build some decks when the other ones costs only 1/3 or even 1/5.
I know if they printed it would be all Khan's super-expensive Standard again, so I pretty much aknowledge the unluckely possibility of this happening.

>Currently playing
Affinity (made it with Masterpieces (still waiting for the drop of price of the new ones) and Dredge (luckely they didn't ban Prized Amalgam).
In 1 year i tried many Modern Decks, and found this 2 to be my absolute favorite, mostly because the crazy shit i could do. I had: Merfolks (2 times), Green Devotion/Tooth&Nail, Living End, GR Tron, Affinity (also 2 times), Dredge (also 2 times), Bant Eldrazi, and sold Infect 3 days before the ban.
>>
>>51291413
I think you missed the point of the 4th question.
OP was asking what cards that aren't already in modern should be printed in a standard set and thus be legal in modern, like Brainstorm and Swords to Plowshares

Oops my bad.

Hmm, don't know... " Unmask"? Probabily would hit the ban hammer in just 3 months.

I have kind of a weird question. I'm playing RUG scapeshift here, but I want to change my deck. I have close to no money to buy into my other deck. Is there any easy way to basically sell my existing deck for another one, considering the two decks are equal on the average price tag?

>What one card do you wish was printed in a standard set to use in Modern?
Brainstorm, but it would be instantly banned.
>>
>>51292486
Here is two problems with that:

1. My local MTG facebook group is kind of empty and doesn't really have much emphasis on what I am trying to achieve. It's mostly article posting and discussion about the new sets.

2. The deck I'm trying to purchase is a bit unusual ( A certain version of vengevine, if you have a clue of what the deck is ). I imagine it's harder to get that sort of trade going for a deck that is rare, or not T1
>>
>>51292417
Your best bet is to find an acttlual person who has money and isn't a store owner who is willing to buy the deck off you for full price. Then go spend your newly acquired funds on scapeshift. No store (unless the owner is super based) is gonna buy your cards for full price
>>
>>51290645
>What's your least favorite matchup?
Infect mirror or dredge vs Tron. I'm pretty sure Tron wins every game unless dredge hits the absolute nuts.
>When's the last time you played in a competitive tournament?
Never because I keep missing them, and there isn't much modern in my state.
>Do you prefer paper or online?
Paper all day. I wish I never bought dredge to play online. Shit is super boring.
>What one card do you wish was printed in a standard set to use in Modern?
Stifle. That would make tempo pretty fucking real. Maybe RUG Delver would become a deck too.

I only play online, no sweaty manchildren to deal with, no rules lawyering, play whenever I want, chess clock, can play every format I like, no need to buy sleeves and shit, I can sell/trade cards right away. The software is pretty buggy sure, but all in all MTGO is great.
>What one card do you wish was printed in a standard set to use in Modern?
False Cure I guess
>>
>>51293737
>RUG better than Grixis
Ok, guy. It's more fun than Grixis for sure, but lacks the raw versatility. Grixis can transition from trying to kill you on turn 4 to draw-go in a heartbeat. Rug can't really do the same.

Also, Tasigur>Goyf.
>>
>>51293639
But really, shuffling is relaxing. In a big match, taking a short break to shuffle and reevaluate can be huge.
>>
>>51294083
Also helps that you can see through your entire deck and go "goddamit it was at the bottom". Dunno if that's cheating tho.

>>51292204

>>
>>51294221
Fringe maybe. You can jam something together and get wins against some decks.
>>
>>51294289
The issue is probably the amount of mainboard relics and sideboard ravenous traps/RIP tron runs in newer builds. Sure loam quarter conflag would beat tron but without good dredging in the first few turns it makes it hard to get damage in before wurmcoil hits the board
>>
>>51294049
You're wrong. Also tasigur is never going to surpass goyf.

>>51294049
You've never played any version of delver before, have you?

Tasigur will never be better than Goyf though
>>
>>51294289
>>51294428
Unless the lists have changed, Dredge doesn't really have the slots to play enough Ghost Quarters to guarantee hitting one. The mana constraints on the deck are extremely tight. You need to be able to produce B or R on turn 1 and RR, 1G, 1B, GB, and rarely 1U on turn 2. A colorless land can ruin you when you have constraints like that.
Tron switching to white also enables them to add Path, Rest in Peace, and Blessed Alliance. Ugin, Karn, and Path exiling remove your best threats from the game
The lifegain from Wurmcoil Engine and Blessed Alliance also allow them to stall you out.
All they have to do is land an Ugin and hold priority, and they win unless you have a Gargadon in play.

So I'm slowly dipping my foot into modern before fully jumping in. How viable are goblin decks in the format? Can I build one on a budget?
>>
>>51295403
They're good enough to blitz out certain decks, and they should be fairly cheap. They aren't really tiered or anything.
>>
Trying to spike a big tournament near me on Feb 4th. Should I bring RG Shift or Bant Eldrazi?
>>
>>51295403
Theres a deck called 8Whack, which is basically a gobbo deck. It should be pretty cheap, too, and can cheese out wins.

Also, there was an actual goblin deck floating around last year that was basically Fish, but for goblins. Never did anything, though.
>>
>>51295403
Not exactly a goblin deck but check out 8whack. Not to be confused with the older deck 8rack.
>>
>>51295472
Trawis Woo posted like 1-2 days ago quiet decent gobbo deck that can go out of control pretty easily.
>>
>>51295403
8 whack is the best you could do with goblins. Not that's it's awful, but you will lose more than win.
Alternatively, build mono green stompy. It's like $70 or so and a bit more competitive than goblins.

Gobbos is probably a decent deck. It's just that it's too close to Burn. Though I do love me some Spike Jester. Not to mention that a tribal deck automatically starts at $320 because you need 4 Caverns.
>>
>>51294541
I exclusively play Delver. Modern Delver is exactly as I desceibed; an amalgamation of several other archetypes wrapped in a versatile shell. It's really only in legacy where it plays in a unique way.

I've play a few "duels" of MtG long ago. Recently I've become interested in it. I'd like to buy a few decks so I can play with me pals when they come over. I can get new Planechase anth. for ~100€. Is it worth for my needs or should I look into other decks?
Comimg from YGO btw
>>
>>51296868
I'm not sure this is the thread for you. Here we are talking about playing with 650-2000 dollar decks. A more appropriate thread isn't really up though.

I'd recommend just picking up a couple of duel decks. They are official decks from WotC made to be played against one another. They are cheap for an easy entry point, and playable at least. Modern is not a format where you want to start unless you want to put down some cash.
>>
>>51294159
its not cheating as long as you shuffle without cheating afterwards

>Tron is on 4 and can freely cast it's shit digging for more Tron pieces

Tron might not be able to get Tron online but every turn you ghost quarter is a turn you're behind vital mana and Tron is up one. Maybe you can get them out of basics and strip mine them eventually but by then they're hard casting wurmcoils and you're at 2-3 mana still.
>>
>>51298885
>spend your t4 loam quartering and play.. another 2 drop?

I take it back, your loam is your two drop.

Fair reminder that people who hate tron are the reason we will never see a real control deck in modern. Tron basically plays the control game, denying threats to opponents. Real control decks do the exact same thing as tron and would be hated once people played against them.

Hexproof, first strike dudes make it really hard to get attackers through.
And they run Spirit Link, which will make you cry like a bitch if they slap it on your Eidolon.
Palms in the side are great, but unless that palm is lethal the next strike is gonna completely undo that last hit.
Plus Bogles tends to attract rules lawyering faglords, that make hasty burn players rip their hair out.

Been trying out Grixis Goryo's with the red expertise card and Breaking // Entering, replacing Through the Breach, and adding in two old ulamogs for additional targets.
It's pretty sweet essentially through the breaching in a creature on turn 2 with the expertise combo, and it's nice that you can reanimate a Griselbrand if you discarded it a turn earlier if you bust on the breaking. The fact that the creature stays in play is also fucking great, pretty sweet deck.

Like the other guy said, EE is probably your second best bet. I've seen Grixis control lists run Languish but that sounds way too slow

I'm just sad that they could have made it actually interesting but instead they just made it fucking shit, like there is no way to spend an energy counter that I actually want to do
>>
>>51301415
Yeah, for casual stuff.
>>
>>51301426
Yeah it's pretty uninteresting, one of the big problems was that they wanted energy to be spendable by cards that create them, which basically meant that energy could never do anything really busted.
I think paradox engine might legitimately be bustable though, no idea what you could do with it though

so i want to get into modern, and although i haven't tested many decks, i really really like merfolk, considering i don't have the money for anything super duper expensive (i know merfolk isn't budget, but it's not like jund or something )

so my question is, should i build merfolk? what are the pros and cons of the deck?
what's the best list?

also other budget modern deck recommendations would be cool
>>
>>51301477
Yeah paradox engine is not """"bustable"""" maybe in edh or something retarded
>>
>>51301521
nnnnooooooooo
It's not in a good spot right now and tribal decks don't really ever get any support, meaning that there's not really any chance that it's ever really going to get better than it is right now.
The next best cheap deck to play is RG scapeshift, you can build it for about 450, which is cheaper than merfolk, and it's cheaper if you go with less Scapeshifts which is perfectly viable. It's also pretty well positioned and does well against a lot of top decks, and there's a good amount of play to it to keep it from getting boring.
If you don't mind being bored out of your skull, Ad Nauseam is another good option. Warning: if you play the deck too much you start to feel like the guy on the card
>>
>>51301521
What's your idea of budget? Let me just tell you anything under 500 is literally unplayable fucking trash

>>51301575
i thinking maybe sticking to decks around merfolk's price

noob question: In order to make the best use of this thing, you would need another card to untap it, correct?
>>
>>51301692
no, just activate it with another land
>>
>>51301637
Well that's a very suboptimal list
>>
>>51301603
Wait a bit to see if Dredge is still kicking. I found that deck to be very fun to play and it's rather cheap (specially at the moment after the ban).
>>
>>51301717
Ok, so if you want to buff it you have to tap it. But if it's tapped it can't attack...right?
>>
>>51301734
You just play 4 of them.
>>
>>51301734
yes but you're not trying to buff it and active it with just one Blinkmoth
>>
>>51301734
You can buff it with other Blinkmoths, but nobody ever uses the third ability
>>
>>51301692
Only deck it's played in is affinity
>>
>>51301742
>>51301745
So you are trying to make a 5/5 flier by tapping eight cards?

Sorry if I sound good im just trying to see what is so good about this card.
>>
>>51301772
you're not trying to make a 5/5 flier

you're trying to make an 8/1 flier with Cranial Plating
>>
>>51301772
It's a land that turns into a flying artifact creature for 1 mana
>>
>>51301772
It's played in affinity. It's a land that can help drop out more creatures on turn 1, and then become a creature on turn 2 and swing in for extra damage.
When it's animated, it counts as an artifact as well, so your cranial plating get bigger.
>>
>>51301772
It counts as an artifact for cranial plating and mox opal and serves as another for affinity to move their counters around with arcbound ravager for a finishing blow. They also have a creature with battlecry and a creature that gives all of your creatures counters. You use it to play shit early then turn it sideways later.
>>
>>51301809
aaah it all makes sense now. Sometimes these cards dont make any sense without knowing how they relate to other cards

>>51301843
>doesn't understand that artifacts go good with other artifacts

>>51301521
I've played ad nauseam for years, still not bored with it. The deck is very nuanced and requires a lot of subtle skills in order to do well with it.
>>
>>51301940
That's cute you think this
>>
>>51301940
>subtle skills
Like what, not playing against discard?
>>
>show up to fnm again after months of not going

I beat bogles, naturally, but I never have enough protection to save me from smallpox and 10 bolts.
>>
>>51301961
>>51301955
Starting with a more basic skill, knowing when to use spoils of the vault. Not just to get an ad nauseam, but when its worthwhile to get other cards as well. Knowing how to win the mirror. No simian spirit guide is not the answer. Knowing how to win around hate cards like Eidolion of Rhetoric. Knowing when to combo off, even if it wouldn't lead to a win on that turn. Knowing when to cast ad nauseam for value.

The list goes on.
>>
>>51302181
How do you not get bored of playing the deck ad nauseam
>>
anybody like rogue decks here?
>>
>>51301521

Merfolk is not a tier 1 deck, but it does not mean it cannot win. The benefit is that people rarely if ever hate on it, and definitely do not SB for it.

It takes a bit more to play it than it seems so it will take a bit to get used to it. That's not to say you can get early lord fueled, islandwalk wins, it does happen.

It has an involved community, various forums for it.

The down sides are that it has an awful matchup vs affinity and you're not really getting anything for other decks so if you want to go somewhere else you have to go all out.
>>
>>51301692
>>51301692
You can actually turn it into a creature, block with it, and in response to the block you can use it's tap ability to make it a 2/2 blocker.
If you run Mutavaults, another similar land, the Mutavault can count as a Moth for the activation.

Of course most people just run both Blinkmoths and Inkmoths for maximum Moth playz

I've been thinking about transition my Fish into a more Blue Moon style fish deck with 4 Seas Claim and 4 Spreading Seas, but idk what aspects are cutable.

In light of Fatal Push I've been tinkering with an Esper Teachings list modeled around Wafo's old Extended deck.

This is where I currently am:

Creatures: 3
1 Snapcaster Mage
1 Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir
1 Torrential Gearhulk

Instants: 28
4 Fatal Push
4 Spell Snare
1 Surgical Extraction
1 Path to Exile
4 Mana Leak
1 Blessed Alliance
4 Esper Charm
1 Anguished Unmaking
3 Cryptic Command
3 Mystical Teachings
1 Consume the Meek
1 Sphinx's Revelation

Other Spells: 4
4 Ancestral Vision

Land: 25
4 Creeping Tar Pit
4 Polluted Delta
4 Flooded Strand
3 Watery Grave
2 Hallowed Fountain
3 Island
1 Swamp
1 Plains
1 Glacial Fortress
2 Tectonic Edge

Sideboard: 15
3 Thoughtseize
1 Extirpate
1 Dispel
1 Negate
1 Celestial Purge
1 Disenchant
1 Rest for the Weary
1 Timely Reinforcements
3 Damnation
1 Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir
1 Grave Titan
>>
I have 4 Ancestral Visions rotting away in my binder. What's the best deck to utilize them?
>>
>>51302596

I like how explosive it gets, and how consistent it is. I have simple tastes and don't get to play too often.
>>
>>51302567
I used to run some Seas-related tech for when the Drazi were rampant, IMHO Sea's Claim is unreal tech as well against Burn.
Against Burn it's basically a one mana land destruction since they have no colourless symbols in the manacost of their shit.
I would highly recommend trying out some Claims somewhere in the 75.

I think I saw Ms Mulligan run a fairly orthodox fish build with both seas in it too.
>>
>>51302732
Ya know what, fair enough. I jam way too many games. I think that's my issue.

>>51302141
git gud. Like all of those decks are sub optimal, you should be able to beat them with a proper infect list if you know how to play.

>>51302773
You should try a solitaire deck, no joke. I have similar deck adhd and while I do enjoy something like burn every now and then for a different playstyle, Extra Turns always entertains me.

Hi guys. This deck was one I threw together a while ago since I had the cards and wanted to show them off. Recently came back to magic and realized it's a shit deck and I was hoping for some help on making it not entirely shit.

I'd like to keep most of it and get it to a functioning deck instead of just 60 cards. I know I can cut the artifacts, probably the enchantments (since no synergy) and some of the lands but I have no idea what to add to make it work.

Any advice is appreciated. Card explanations are green texted at the bottom.

Creature (12)
4x Serra Sphinx
4x Serra Angel
2x Frost Titan
2x Sun Titan

Sorcery (1)
1x Worldpurge

Instant (7)
3x Psionic Blast
4x Time Stop

Enchantment (4)
4x Steel of the Godhead


Artifact (8)
4x Fieldmist Borderpost
4x Azorius Signet

Land (28)
6x Plains
6x Island
4x Urza's Mine
4x Urza's Power Plant
4x Urza's Tower
4x Nimbus Maze

>Titans are foil promo's
>Serra's are waifu's. I know Baneslayer is objectively better.
>Timestops are foil 10th ed. Pic related.
>Worldpurge is foil and in there because I only have 3 Psionic blasts.
>Nimbus Mazes because I have them and I like the art.
>>
>>51302757

Yea, I ran a one of during the EoE dark times that let me steal two FNMs from people who were not expecting fish.

Against Burn, yes. It's sick, especially because they so heavy into Naya that they're running Nacatl. Dropping Seas onto a Foundry is petty fantastic, and a T1 Claim could be a game ender against something as explosive as fish.

Speaking of fucking burn, I also need to get Chalices, too. T1 Claim, T2 Chalice for 1 is pretty much game over at that point, right?

Anyway, I'll see what I can do, and keep an eye on that list, too. Thanks.

I really wouldn't use frost titan even if he is foil, I just think he sucks and I'd rather have 2 spellskites here
sun titan is good, adding ghost quarter and spellskite makes him better
I would only keep 1 playset of Serra(probably sphinx because of landbase) and add serum visions for more card draw

if I don't know how to count and that ain't 60 cards add whatever the fuck you want my man

It taps for mana and turns into a 1/1 artifact creature. What more do you want?

Agony Warp isn't completely unplayable in a metagame with a lot of aggressive decks because in addition to being removal, it also buys time by saving you damage but for two mana I think terminate is just better

Serious question to the people that play infect: Do you actually have fun with that deck at all? I've played against it with tokens and midrange and neither is a terrible match up in my opinion but god damn I still can understand why people play this unless they want to shit on tron
>>
>>51308346
It's kind of like being a sniper in an FPS, it fun whether you get free kills vs AFKers (Tron) or have to fight through harassment (midrange/control). One-shot kills with multiple layers of protection against lots of interaction is the best at turn 5-10, but killing Scapeshift who suspended Search on turn 2 is fun as well.
>>
>>51307377
To be fair there can be a lot of shit going on at the same time on the Affinity side of the board. Most folks can't follow five or six things at once- tap this and that for mana, sac this, play this, equip this, activate this, attack, Pump that, move this over here, sac all that....
>>
Have you guys sold your MTGO collections yet? There's a new client coming, and WoTC has been unwilling to confirm that they'll keep the market as is, which they probably would have done by now if they really intend to keep things as they are. There's a very good chance that they'll go for a system of free cards akin to that of Hearthstone, which would make all the current collections worthless. I've already sold pretty much all my stuff, and I advise you to do the same. If one of the big botchains start dumping their stuff, it'd be too late. Prices are already going down quickly. Better safe than sorry, lads.

>>51308346

I do genuinely enjoy it. Having the occasional free win is fine, but when you really play the deck, and have to slow roll it, deciding when to do 1 or 2 or go all in, I find it enjoyable. Playing around hate, deciding when to keep protection or use it ect. Anyone can pump to 10 turn 2 or 3, it's when you have to play a longer game or are forced to play around hate thay separates actual infect players from those seeking an easy time. I also play the deck in legacy as well, so maybe it's just me.

Right now I see it as a no functioning wreck and I would like to get it up to midsized sedan, if that makes sense.

Thanks for the advice also. I would like to keep the Timestops and Nimbus mazes so that messes up the mana base a bit.

I will probably start with cutting some lands and the borderposts for a some card draw. If I have enough Talismans I will swap them out.

The only MtG constructed format where you can spend 100$ and end up with a functional deck is Pauper (or Peasant).

Anyone else been playing infect? Still feels pretty good. Jund matchup got a fuckload worse which sucks since it was already pretty bad but you can still do well against a lot of other decks.
Decided to go for Slip Through Space since the 1 damage doesn't matter too much and the cycle is pretty necessary against discard based decks, plus is hits the yard right away which can be crucial sometimes. Went down to 2 BI, up to 4 Groundswell, kept 4 Blossoming and 1 Apostle's Blessing. Might be too much but without a peek effect and with more jund and abzan running around and the probably resurgence of burn I'd rather have redundancy with those effects than not.

Pack the deck with expertise, dorks, spirit guides and busted fuse cards and you pretty much can't miss. It's quite consistent.
>>
>>51314860
You should feel bad because you're buying boxes to crack.
>>
>>51314860
Not really because you also basically got hot garbage
>>
>>51314917
What colors and what expertise? And how is it better than any other combo deck?
>>
>>51314970
not that guy but I've been running in Grixis goryo's instead of the through the breach and it's basically a better through the breach since you get to keep the card, you can reanimate anything in your yard and it lets you dig pretty deep for it.
>>
>>51314952
I counted up my cards and hit good actually. Compared to him Im laffing.
>>
Hey, I gave up on Magic years ago and I have friends who play Magic so I was thinking about making myself a modern deck just to play with them. Are Shadow Over/Eldritch Moon good editions? I like the Lovecraftian concept.
>>
>>51315016
wrong thread
>>
>>51315022
There is no other thread
>>
>>51314986
>better through the breach
What about the fact that it requires 2 cards and does not give haste and the other part of the card is literally hot garbage?
>>
>>51315038
>requires 2 cards
so does through the breach in a sense
And it does give haste, fucking retard
>>
>>51315038
What about the fact you're an idiot?
Is a free emrakul or griselbrand not good? It's fucking turn 2. Even if you whiff it's not the end of the world.
Not to mention you can hit beck/call. 4 flyers and a refill on cards is a pretty good whiff.
>>
>>51315016
Not really man.
Want a good cheap deck? Go either mono green stompy (around $70) or mono red burn.
Want a cheap deck that will win every now and then? 8 whack goblin

God do I ever hate Wizard's website. I can't ever find shit on it.

Hey guys. I hear there are no Modern tours coming up (surprise surprise) - but I also hear there is goddamn frontier?
Any of this true?
>>
>>51314276
The deck is more than GGT.
>>
>>51315165
think its jsut like a GP side event, nothing big and its unofficial
>>
>>51315168
Yes but people wont be playing dredge much because it's boring. Players liked the power behind the deck and resiliency.
Without GGT the deck isn't as oppressive.
>>
>>51314651
Considering that /tg/ is bad at magic, it probably will be tier 0.
>>
Why do decks run thought scour over faithless looting? Is it the instant speed?
Other than that doesn't looting bin just as many cards but you don't feel like shit because you scoured cards you needed?
>>
>>51315259
Looting is for discarding specific cards, like dredgers or reanimator targets. The decks that run Scour run snapcasters and delve cards so turning over cards is still useful to them, and it's instant speed and gets 2 cards in the yard plus cycles itself. It's far more useful in the decks that it's in than looting
>>
>>51315259
Thoughtscour doesn't remove cards from your hand besides itself (which it replaces)
>>
Is standard really so unpopular that it can't keep a thread?
>>
>>51315297
yes
fuck standard
t. played standard
>>
>>51315297
A lot of people just had their decks banned or severely weakened.
A lot of standard players don't feel like dropping the money for another deck after that.

Give me one good reason not to build Lantern.
>>
>>51316606
It isn't fun to play against, so only play it if you only play FNMs or other tournaments, since you won't be able to get friendly matches.
>>
>>51316606
Takes a really long time, and nobody likes the guy who makes every last fucking round go to turns.
Wouldn't you rather go get something to eat in between rounds?
>>
>>51316606
Honestly wait to see if Affinity gets dominant. If affinity goes crazy they probably ban Opal, and banning Opal really is bad news bears for lantern. I think now is the time if any where affinity will get either tier zero or not, and if it does get too good then hold off on it. This is coming from a guy who just finished foiling his deaths shadow deck he'd had for 3 years.
>>
>>51316793
this tbqh
I loved having 30 minutes in between rounds to fuck around
>>
>>51316793
I can eat ur mums cunt when ever I want a go m8
>>
>>51316810
>affinity
>going to be tier 0 ever
>>
>>51316793
In defense of lantern, once the lock is in place and there's more than 1 mill rock, there is a very low chance of the other person winning so it's not my fault people can't see the writing on the wall.
>>
>it's another fucking turn 1 inquisition
fuck xmage
>>
>>51316832
Nobody cares about being milled one at a time. It's Ensnaring Bridge that everyone tries to get rid of.
>>
>>51316891
>once the lock is in place
Meaning I have bridge out, it wasn't answered and I control their drawsteps which means they wont draw an answer to bridge.

Not sure what the point of your post was desu learn to read.

Is there anyone else on the planet that's still playing Bant Spirits except for me?

I wish there was an easy way to sell my shit, I've got a bunch of stuff laying around to sell and I want to buy into robots, been playing it a bunch online and I'm digging it

I just built Knightfall. Is splashing red necessary? Also is Izzet Staticaster that good?

I've goldfished a couple of times and it seems awkward to cast not off of CoCo

Bexause lantern control is for scumbag faggots who only win if their opponents are dumb enough to concede.

We KINDA got a Hymn with Whispers of Emrakul. It requires hitting delerium tho.
>>
>>51306390
You can't cast AV that way.

Please learn the rules before you play or at least before you post.
>>
>>51320626
Wrench Mind is a Hymn light too.
>>
>>51301772
It cn also make Inkmoth nexus bigger I guess so ther eis that.
>>
>>51321127
Zero is less than 3
>>
>>51321127
Holy fucking shit anon, you're such a fucking retard
>>
>wrench mind is hymn light
Honestly I've never casted wrench mind and my opponent discarded 2 lands and I won't right there on the spot
>>
>>51321127
You are mistaken. Ancestral Vision has a converted mana cost of zero, which is less than three. Yahenni's Expertise lets you cast a spell without paying its mana cost, so you can ignore the nonexistent mana cost of Ancestral Vision and cast it for 0. Perhaps you should follow your own advice and learn the rules before talking down to others.

Is Abbot of Keral Keep good in burn modern?
is burn a good deck?
>>
>>51322374
Burn is, Abbot is not.
>>
>>51322374
>abbot
I've never really seen that card be in any main deck. Occasionally I'll see it in a sb
>is burn good
Yes, naya burn is tier1.
Any other version (mono red, r/g, r/w) isn't AS good, but is still playable.
