Affinity? My brother from another mother. I never considered Bitterblossom out of the side. I just bring in Thoughtseize usually to pluck Stony Silence or Kataki.

>>51370782
Modern seems to be doing okay without Twin imo.

UW fish. i think going monoblue only hurts the deck. only downside is you get slightly hated out by blood moon

Esper artifacts. combination of UB tezz lists, thopter/sword combo, and architect/pili-pala combo. it's fun, not good yet. but fun nonetheless

this memedeck has no breaks.

>>51372037
Add Aethersphere Reservoir since you can pull it from Inventors' Fair & get infinite storm from Isochron (I see the Magnifying Glass but that's stupid)

>>51372070
I used to have aetherflux resevoir as the wincon and some neat tech like academy ruins but maindeck spellskites killed my boner. BSZ wincon feels good, it used to be door to nothingness but I like that you can regularly cast blue suns sometimes and reshuffles itself back.

I agree that glass is shit tho. so damn slow, but it does it's job decently enough.

>>51372190
Wait I suppose you can activate aetherflux infinite times. It's a good choice of wincon.

Idk, I still like that scroll or muddle can find bsz, you'd have to maindeck whir in order to activate scroll/muddle as wincons so it isn't hard to fully adapt to a Aetherflux version.

>>51372257
USZ is fine (BSZ is black), I just like Aetherflux instead of Glass since you have Inventors' Fair

>>51372317
the upsides of swapping usz for aetherflux:
-can cast it and gain some hp, as well as combo with only 2 rocks out IF you've hardcast it.
-frees up maginifying glass slot

downsides:
-imo hardcasting USZ in a pinch seems better, in order to find the combo. reducing the required rock amount is usually redundant and gaining a few life is less relevant than drawing a card or two.
-replaces fabricate with whir (or uses the glass slot). Imo whif feels worse without trinkets laying around like some welding jars
There could be a huge benefit to going that route, I just like cast huge zeniths famalam

>>51370293
Shouldn't Fatal Push be in that black slot now?

Narset draws you cards instead of just giving you board presence, which is useful against Control and Combo decks, I guess.

I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this Anon, but that foil playset of Japanese Fatal Push that you bought for $100 each aren't actually that good in Modern. It's a pure sideboard card. A solid sideboard card, but a sideboard card nontheless.

>I'm running out of questions. Someone pitch me a few.
Whats the most common deck/archtype in your meta?

Also what would i do to add enchant hate to mono black 8 rack splash green for something like golgari charm? or what else?

>>51374914
Green would give you access to Maelstrom Pulse and Abrupt Decay. Also some interesting sideboard cards to protect/recur your artifacts.

White would be similar, and give you access to extra wraths and point removal.

>>51370293
>Whatcha Playin'?
Grixis Delver

>Whatcha hatin' the most?
Tron, same as always

>Got any secret sideboard tech?
Added Ceremonious Rejection to my sideboard some time ago. Right now I have 2 of those and 2 Fulminator Mage. Great aginst my two worst matchups, Bant Eldrazi and Tron. I'm also considering moving my second Kommand to the mainboard and adding a Sword of Feast and Famine to the sideboard for a bit of an edge against B/G/X

>I'm running out of questions. Someone pitch me a few.
>Any new shitbrews?

I'm thinking of buying into the format with merfolk. Iv been testing the deck out in xmage and it seems pretty fun.

Iv been meaning to test grixis delver since I have a few pieces but the tarns are making me shy away.

Can you guys recommend other decks I should try? Will I regret buying into fish? Thanks

>>51375045
I've been running Delver without Scalding Tarns for a while now. I'm using a 4/3/3 split of Polluted Delta, Flooded Strands, and Bloodstained Mires instead of what I consider an optimal 4/4//2 Delta/Tarn/Mire. It costs you a percentage point or two, but the only lands you can't fetch with Flooded Strand are Mountain and Blood Crypt, which are also the least needed lands in the deck in most games. It's a serviceable replacement.

>>51375045
Fish is alright, but it's more of a tier 2 deck. It's not bad by any means. Grixis Delver can be played without the Tarns, like the other anon said, and it's a deck that can fit into any meta very well. It's also fun. I'm trying to build it, but I can't afford the Snapcasters

>Playing
Titanshift

>Hating
Hatebears. Affinity draws with Arcbound Ravager.

>Secret Sideboard Tech
1 Melira against Infect. Virtual 4 with 3 Summoner's Pacts. Also 2 copies of Courser of Kruphix main because I just like that card and the card advantage is sick

>Questions
How many Fatal Push in Jund/Abzan/Mardu/Grixis/Rock/other black decks? Will Fae become real again thanks to Push?

My deck doesn't care about Push, but it's still an interesting card to talk about.

>>51375206
>Can't afford the snapcasters

Niiiigga, they are as low as they can possibly be! Just grab them before they go up in price again.

>>51375329
I believe my friend has two of them, and they're both mine. If he does, I guess I'm gonna try to buy the other two somehow.

>>51375206
This is the lowest Snapcasters have been in a loooooooong time. These things are going to go up again; the card is too powerful to sustain a price this low. At this point don't consider it wasting money on a magic card, consider it a guarnteed investment.

>>51375445

Boy oh boy have I been away from MTG for a long time, probably at least 6 months. What have I missed in the greatest format of all time? Gimmie the bulletpoints.

Also Xmage vs Cockatrice, which should I use and why if you don't mind me asking in here.

>>51375045
If you like fish try Affinity- they're fairly similar and Affinity has a few flex slots to adapt to your own playstyle.

>>51375206
Just order some china snapcasters and some other shit.
For $100 you get:
A play set of every shockland.
4 snapcasters
4 bloodmoons
4 goblin guides
4 thoughtseizes
4 path to exile
4 karn liberated
4 of your favourite fetches

Then you basically have the base for a lot of decks you could ever wish playing with. Afterwards it's just a matter of slowly introducing the cards into your collection so you don't raise suspicion as to why you suddenly have 4 snaps.

Add 1 snaps to your folder and ask your friends if you can proxy out the other ones because you want to check out how they play. Then after some weeks you can replace them fully for your china playset and no one on your lgs will find out as long as you keep them doublesleeved they look 95% like a legit snapcaster.

I think china proxies are perfectly fine if you use them for personal use and don't attempt to sell them under any circumstance.

>>51375695

>>51375903
It's perfectly fine to buy proxies and play with them against your friends. I have proxied versions of T1 decks when I need to test decks.

The only bad thing about proxies is that some people will use them in tournaments, and will treat them as legit cards. That's when proxying is not cool.

WOTC has taken a more proactive stance over bans. Except more bans than ever. You'd think they'd leave modern alone now that official coverage is not a thing anymore? Nope.

Though that possibly means they will unban cards that were banned without rhyme or reason, like splinter twin. One can only hope, right?

Thanks for the replys. Il give affinity and grixis delver sans tarns a try and report back.

If I do end up on delver, I might hold off on buying the snaps until mm17 is spoiled. They should still drop somewhat

>>51376027
Having a smaller meta share than Affinity with all the variants combined and being a neat slice of the control - midrange - aggro - big mana - combo --metagame isn't a reason for ban imo. Blue has been struggling ever since and there are no decks, concrete or hypothetical, that Twin was oppressing out of the metagame completely, even though it would have kept a check on Dredge and Death's Shadow which would have been an overwhelming positive.

>>51376081
I'd be fine if Twin came back only because RUG Delver will get better via splash damage.

>>51375695
Not long enough

>>51376007
Did they explain WHY they banned them??

>>51376167
Just Google it you nigger

>>51376167
Golgari Grave Troll was because Dredge was an oppressive deck and every sideboard needed 5-6 pieces of graveyard-hate or you would just lose, unless they fizzle.

Gitaxian Probe because it was enabling turn 3 kills too often in Infect and Death's Shadow Zoo.

>>51376200
Well, that just goes to show that banning Twin was a huge mistake. Now that twin is banned, you must ban other cards that cause a large problem without twin to keep certain decks in check. Twin was the sort of gatekeeper of degeneracy. Now, they had to ban keycards of other decks that are now too good without a gatekeeper to keep things in check.

Grixis Control is showing up on mtggoldfish as Grixis Delver. This is actually pretty annoying.

>>51376340
You twiniggers never seem to understand that if Twin was degenerate enough to keep degenerate decks from being good, maybe it was too good.

>>51377314
You're retarded and I don't give a fuck about twin

>t1 lantern of insight

Is there a better feeling?

>>51377595
Ya, actually playing magic

>>51377595

Getting to play a fun game of magic with good friends?

>>51377218
Because Twin can win by turn 4, while buying time by simply tapping your problematic creatures. They can also counter problematic spells like cathartic reunion that made Dredge a top contender like it was ( and still is, if you ask my opinion ). Those options, that are available before sideboarding, makes Twin a decent contender against Dredge, by its inherent nature of simply buying time before the combo is reached.

Now, as you can see, this doesn't step on Dredge's viability, but simply allows the deck to be a gatekeeper, by its natural ability to being able to win before sideboarding. That is how Twin was a perfectly fine deck, and a gatekeeper of these kind of decks. Sure, sometimes Dredge pre-sideboard can be degenerate enough to simply roll over any type of answer you may have, and that's fair: that's what the deck is supposed to do.

>>51377694
>I can't turn my creatures sideways so it's not magic
wew

>>51377793
Yo goddamn retard
Anon means a t1 concession isn't playing magic
>anon is correct

>>51376340
To be fair I don't think that twin would have kept eldrazi or dredge under control

>>51377739
Twin's problem is that it was a contender against everything while also having several auto win matchups. It had no bad matchups, Jund and Grixis don't count when you can just side into a control deck and be 50/50 against them.

>>51377739
Could Dredge just run Abrupt Decay and discard to shit all over Twin's wincon outside of Burn? I seem to remember Jund being great against Twin.

>>51377966
Eldrazi? Certainly not. The deck was too fast for anything to beat it consistently. Dredge? It's debatable. Before any sideboard, dredge cannot remove anything from your board, while you have the advantage of Exarch/Pestermite acting as not only a tapper to tap things that would kill you on the spot, but also as a blocker for eventual bloodghasts, that 3/3 zombie, and so on.

>>51378003
I think it's not a problem, but rather a good thing. Jund acts the exact same way: it doesn't have any bad matchups ( except tron ) but it isn't favored against anything too. Twin had a good time against aggro decks, because it had a strong tempo element to it. The reasoning is the same as dredge. However, the matchup was never ever favored against control or combo decks, which made these decks a very sensible choice in the meta: because it had an increased chance to beat Twin, while also making a name for itself against other decks in the meta. If they played against controls, they would meet an excessive number of counterspells or unbeatable removal. If they would face combo decks, they'd have to take a consideration into trying to either win and possibly facing an enormous blunder while meeting a counter of some sort, or waiting because your opponent would combo out themselves. That's what made Twin a strong, but more importantly, a gatekeeper and a balance enabler for the modern meta.

>>51378009
Dredge often runs Decay in the sideboard. Decay was for sure a key sideboard card against Twin, and if it was ever to come back, that would still be the case.

I played Ascension storm and I basically disassembled the deck as soon as I got the news.

Maybe someone can help me out.

I've been thinking about getting into DnT in legacy. Is there a lot of spillover into Modern or should I just separate the formats?

>>51378175
Again, Twin didn't "really" have a bad matchup against control and midrange because they could just side into a control deck and be at least 50/50 against them. Even in game 1 you could just eot peek/clique and see that the coast was clear and win the game on any turn. Twin never had a bad matchup against combo idk what you're on about, towards the end it was the only real combo deck besides amulet which it had a good matchup against. On top of that, twin also had a bunch of matchups where it was 90% favored game 1, like affinity and infect. There were plenty of decks that were not playable simply because of a bad twin matchup. So the deck was 50/50 against its bad matchups and 90/10 against its good matchups, that's just too good. Even Jund has several matchups where its a complete dog, and its the best deck in the format right now.

Was there any viable deck that could consistently beat twin over 50% of the time that was not itself a twin variant? The answer was no, and that's why it got banned.

>>51374036
>>51378202
Primal Command into Witness into Command is too much value for most decks to beat eventually. I think Devotion really wants a playset of each.

I feel like this format is less rewarding when you try to interact with your opponent. Degenerate decks thrive in modern.
Playing GB/x? Doesn't stop their top decking skills
Tron? GL not getting cheesed before you resolve anything big
Control? I can't say much other than perfectly lining up and drawing the right answer to their cheese strategy
Why are we not playing legacy?

>>51381765
no lands, modern needs to be abosrbed into legacy and vintage while wizards pimps commander, pauper, frontier and standard. Vintage and legacy players can be the ultra competative players who are willing to spend money and the babies who just want regular magic without wotc "balance" can play frontier. The babies can play standard and the casuals can stick to pauper/commander.

>Twin didn't "really" have a bad matchup against control and midrange because they could just side into a control deck and be at least 50/50 against them.
Before AV got unbanned this is just false, every card of Jund was a 2-for-1 vs Twin and Keranos was a mediocre plan at best, since it either never resolved or stayed on board vs UWx and Jund beat you to death before it became relevant.
>Even in game 1 you could just eot peek/clique and see that the coast was clear and win the game on any turn.
Peek wasn't ran in most lists, and this doesn't really differ from Infect killing you with an Inkmoth when it wants and sees when the coast is clear with Probe (Requiescat in pace).
>Twin never had a bad matchup against combo idk what you're on about
Twin was heavily unfavored vs Ad Nauseam, since you couldn't basically resolve anything without dying in response nor play draw-go either since at some point the Nauseam pilot will either have Boseiju or 4 Pact of Negations + sideboard.
>On top of that, twin also had a bunch of matchups where it was 90% favored game 1, like affinity and infect.
This doesn't explain why Affinity regularly beat Twin's face in by turn 4 with Etched Champion and Galvanic Blast/Spellskite preventing you from dying to the combo and why Affinity had a higher meta share in 2015 than Twin variants combined, given Twin has more game vs say UWR and Junk, decks vs which Affinity has troubles with.
>There were plenty of decks that were not playable simply because of a bad twin matchup.
None of those hypothetical decks are more viable now than in 2015. If anything any flavor of Uxx control is deader than dead because there's no Twin to wipe the floor with and the rest of the format is too degenerate in too many ways for your sideboard to stretch, maybe things will settle down a bit with bans and push print etc, maybe not.

Jund has exactly one such matchup and that's Gx Tron, and it sure as shit isn't the best deck overall (if the best deck is to be understood as the highest average win percentage in a matchup matrix vs every other metadeck).

I wouldn't say control is dead, but it's not in a great spot, even with push.

>>51384331
If Dryad Arbor is changed into another basic land type (such as by Sea's Claim), it continues to be a creature and a Dryad. So, it's a Land Creature - Moutain Dryad.

It follows directly from the way layers work. Learn the rules before answering questions.

I play Eldrazi Tron, and I enjoy it. It's still GR Tron, but $$ cheaper because it's Titans and Worldbreakers instead of Wurmcoils, Karns, and Ugins. I have one Ugin, the Spirit Dragon in
there and I'd like to get a second. I run some All is Dust for flavor. Can't decide on which wipe to play, but I'd like it to Kozilek's Return since it's on flavor and grab-able with stirrings.

I don't have anywhere to play right now (looking around), so I don't know how good it is, but it's been wining in the games I played with friends.

My secret wish is to build a tron around Spawnsire of Ulamog to cast an enormous sideboard, but I know it isn't a competitively good idea.

Should I get the stomping ground expedition to match my steam vents and breeding pool or is the original just much better in this case?

>>51383957
You have to learn how to not contradict yourself if you want to win arguments. You also have to know what you're talking about when it comes to which decks were viable at certain points in time. You also took several points out of context which is a big no no as well. Here's a quick response.

>Keranos was not a mediocre plan, and neither was bolt/snap/bolt and flash creature beats.
>You just confirmed I was right as probe just got banned for enabling combo kills in the same fashion for too little cost.
>Ad nauseam was a fringe deck at best at that time with few paper results. Its pointless to argue that it had a good matchup when no one was playing it. The other combo deck in the format was amulet which twin had a favorable matchup against.
>Affinity does not have spellskite game 1 unless they are hedging for twin because it is such a bad mu. Having 4 galvanic blasts did not make affinity have a good twin matchup. You cannot seriously tell anyone that affinity regularly won against twin and was not a complete dog in game 1. You straight up lied as well, twin had 12.5% metagame share comparted to affinity's 8.5% http://modernnexus.com/modern-metagame-breakdown-121-1231/

>>51388110

I don't know if you're trying to shitpost with the XD bit, but I actually do like the idea of using Taking Turns plus Chandra's Ultimate to kill the opponent. Only need to hit three times, and building towards the ult. helps you play more "take turns" spells. It's not a bad idea. I think it could be improved, though. I'd personally run Temporal Trespass, as I think the Delve makes it easier to cast, and Ancestral Vision for card draw, as Serum Visions is just pretty freaking weak. A Snapcaster Mage and Gigadrowse would also be useful.

>>51388110

Very nice meme fellow combro.

The input I can provide is that:

1. LabMan is a nice alternate wincondition but seeing as how you have ways to prevent selfmill, you could opt for a card that fills a similar role while providing a different form of value. Thassa would be a similar 3drop that wins you the game, while also providing a pseudo-mine when you play it.

2. I usually only need one graveshuffle effect to ensure no selfmilling. I personally run an Elixir mb and a Day's Undoing in the sb for fighting Jund, but with 2 Days in your mainboard you could possibly even forgo the Elixir and rely on your Days to stop you from decking. Of course, they do exile themselves afterward, so Elixir could still be waranted if you wanna go infinite.
Just saying it wouldn't be too greedy to cut Elixir given that your Days can fulfill a similar job
Of course

I think you are mistaken!

Plow under says "Put two target lands on top of their owner's library." That means the caster picks the targets and the order that they go on top.

You really just need a milling agent to make it awesome.

>>51385106
As an Affinity player of that time I can confirm. Electrolyze sucks balls.

>I'm running out of questions. Someone pitch me a few.
Why does Wizards hate combo?

I already bought the cards I needed for it

Eons torn is banned now isnt he? I took him out of my deck.

>>51393761
I don't think they really hate combo decks. I think they're stuck with a situation that if they print certain cards designed for combo decks, those decks can be unbeatable quite quickly, especially without the existence of Force Of Will, Daze, etc.

So yeah. I know, it sucks that you can't build awesome comboes in modern, but for that to happen, you'd need to have answers. Blue already has trouble with their existing counterspells and is in a laughable position right now, just imagine if the format was full of combo decks able to terminate you on turn 2.

do not use any mill or shuffle effects after resolving a plow under. making the opponent redraw and replay two land cards he's already drawn and played is exponentially more powerful than simply removing two lands from their battlefield and giving them fresh draws.

Dont do this. It's a bad idea.
They will just Abrupt decay it.

>>51393761
Garruk is bad senpai. He dies to bolt and can't use his flipside abilities the turn he flips.

I have my bridges in my SB, ppl dont see them and take out artifact hate, i slam a bridge and they usually concede.
>>I'm running out of questions. Someone pitch me a few.
How do i deal with me taking the wrong cards out of their hand? Do i just sit down and learn what makes the decks work?

>>51395379
LOL why play anything right? That 1-2 of abrupt decay will ruin everything

>>51389887
They're alright if you are playing GW
GB elves is cool but you lose access to all the good "make sure my shit doesn't get fucked."
It folds to Jund tho, and that's pretty much the most popular deck in the format.

>>51395588
>I have my bridges in my SB, ppl dont see them and take out artifact hate, i slam a bridge and they usually concede
Nobody takes out artifact hate against 8rack. Your win cons are artifacts and enchantments

>>51395608
Not Tron :^)

>>51395379
Grixis delver is a shitty meme deck anyway, let him play more bad cards in his bad deck

>>51395512
No one will play bolt now that fatal push is legal :^)

>>51395618
The good builds ran Rats in the side and side out racks for them to dodge ancient grudge, k-command and whatnot. Ensnaring Bridge is unnecessary if you run Smallpox.

>>51395758
I run 3 rats and 3 asylum visitor MB, then i can side in bridges if needed.

>>51394173
I guess my ieea was to nake the lands leave and really set him back if they just draw stuff they cant play. But again drawing 2 deadish cards in a row is a death sentence anyway

>>51395758
Why not run Geth's Verdict instead of Smallpox?

Granted I sideborded couple Poxes lately.

>>51395892
When I'm on Burn I bring Guerilla Tactics in my side just for 8-rack. The salt from you 8rackers is divine.

>>51396006
You want to turn your redundant Swamps/Dakmor Salvage into Strip Mines. If you resolve Smallpox vs Infect t2 you basically cannot lose.

>>51396108
It's hard to lose against infect as 8rack unless you get a shitty hand and they get a good one

>>51396189
I find without Smallpox you're just getting blown out by Vines and Blossoming Defense and dying when they untap/topdeck Become Immense after you've enabled it with your discard, Ensnaring Bridge is way too slow. Same principle applies vs Burn and Affinity too, you need a way to punish 1-2land keeps.

>>51396362
Smallpox versions are bad. The deck is already trash so take that how you will

>>51396446
What a convincing post.

I unironically love playing Burn. What kind of person does that make me?

>>51396546
Simple.

Playing mardu vehicles with updated modern technology. If anyone wants the list I made reply and I'll post it when I get home fancy style.
This build probably won't be making any top 8s soon, however with push and all the best removal modern has to offer (path, bolt, dismember, push..ect..) it's poised to get some results. Pre probe and troll bans this deck has a decent track record and consistently threatens lethal turn 4.
Copter and toolcraft really shine and with the consistency of clues and looting from copter (and depala) keeps the deck from fizzling. Im also curious if harvester is viable as well (haven't tested that yet) that would require a rebuild of the current list.
>TL;DR new fast lands are good and copter performs in modern.

So iv been thinking of getting into modern and a gr Tron deck popped up on Craigslist for 500, everything in it was around 750 on tcgplayer. Do you think this would be a good entry into the format?

I was also thinking of abzan Coco, but I need to test that deck out

>not desperately wishing Lava Spike also hit creatures just so you have extra sorcery speed removal

It's like you never played burn before.

>>51397262
Abzan CoCo hasn't put up results in over a year, and also gets hosed by incidental graveyard hate that people have for dredge. Tron is at least decent and pretty much stomps any rogue fnm shitbrews you might encounter.

>>51397157
I'm not the one who is casting bolts at my opponent's creatures

>>51397262
Tron is pretty good desu
But if you play it, expect /tg/ to call you a degenerate.
Abzan coco is also pretty good. Just make sure you have pridemages

>>51397304

Look for a reply around 7

I think Smuggler's Copter has the makings of a real card in modern, but what kind of a shell would it fit in? I was thinking it might be able to spice up mono red burn

>>51399717
WBx because T1 Thoughtseize T2 Copter T3 Lingering Souls crew attack is about as good as you'll get really.

No matter what anyone says, knightfall is not a knight deck. It uses a singular knight as a combo piece. that's like calling kiki chord a goblin deck.
