>Whats the best removal in the format?
Path to Exile will pretty much always be #1, simply due to how versatile it is.

> Any that is lowkey spicy tech?
Forked bolt always got me some crazy value when I used to play it, but I'm pretty sure the meta has shifted enough that it's not nearly as good now.

>Think fatal push will make a sizable splash in modern?
It's a nice bit of supplemental removal for decks that can't run bolt, but it's not replacing anything.

Filigree Familiar as an alternative to Kitchen Finks

Yes, I've been very impressed by the card from what I've seen so far.

Early morning bump

>>51572463
>What is the best removal in the format?
Dispatch. Doesn't give them a land like Path and it can be splashed for with the help of Mox Opal.

It's a secret.

Of course. Takes out pretty much anything you could expect to see from BGx decks.

Mox Opal should be banned already.

It's bullshit that a strictly better card than OG moxen is legal in a format like Modern and is being abused by unfair and unfun decks like affinity or lantern.

>>
>>51574783
But it is strictly better, because it's rainbow and you want to dump all your hand anyways.

Don't defend this broken thing just because you play a broken deck.

Modern is no place for cards that should be limited in Vintage to begin with.

RIP thread. Btw blatant shitposting is a rules violation. Keep that shit to /b/
>>
>>51574821
yeah no that's literally not what strictly better means they're not even flexible when it comes to the cards they have to come with. it HAS to come in with 1/1 and 0/2 0-drops to be broken

affinity just top 8'd a big tournament once in god knows how long. though i'd say i'd agree it's auto ban if combo decks abuse it

don't even need to discuss the other meme deck.
>>
>>51574872
>affinity isn't tier 1
>>
>>51574912
It would play those cards anyways and as far as these decks go, who play many artifacts anyways - Opal is a strictly better card than OG moxen for these decks.

Such a card must be banned from Modern.

This man is an imposter.
As someone pro Mox Opal banning the strictly better rhetoric is the giveaway.
It's like he's trying to force meme a narrative for the opposition's argument.
Someone said Mox Opal is strictly better than OG Mox in a context, it was clarified like 10 times and the buttmad muh vintage retards wouldn't let it go because they couldn't read.

Go home and be a family journalist for CNN.


Anyway, thoughts on Unlicensed Disintegration in Modern?
>>
>>51575080
maybe fringe decks? unconditional removal is A++ but only aggro decks would really want the player damage and walkers besides LOTV aren't really popular in modern

K-command comes at the same price too
>>
>>51575080
Costs too much for what it does

Context was that opal is strictly better. The "in modern" part makes even less sense. How can you have vintage power level in modern you can't storm off opal

Speaking of babby Jace how about him in Modern?

I think Grishoalbrand lists use him sometimes and for a while Grixis Control builds tried him out.
What else could be done with him?

>>51575222
Not much. He's not really that good when bolt kills him twice. Like you said, some lists run him, but i wouldn't splash for him or anything.

I've been fucking around with him in a budget BUG deck that uses flip jace and lili last hope until snapcaster and lili of the veil get reprinted in MM17. He's alright, getting a walker back with lili is pretty cool, and he's real good with damnation and such, but unlike snap he kinda prices you out of playing countermagic so your blue is just for like thoughtscour and the fun-of mystic snek.

Forked Bolt was amazing in the Git Probe meta. My current "spicy tech" is Pillar of Flame from Avacyn Restored.

I've been running into so many Kitchen Finks ever since Fatal Push was spoiled, so I removed the 2 Forked Bolt from my deck and included the 2 Pillar of Flame.

I'm expecting a lot more in the way of Abzan CoCo decks, which this destroys handily

ey b0ss, coco just top 8'd like 3 major tournies

>>51575797
>are you on delver friend

Yep, my current list is this:


4x Delver
4x Snapcaster
2x Young Pyro
2x Tasigur
2x Gurmag

Spells

4x Serum Visions
4x Thought Scour
2x Sleight of Hand
4x Lightning Bolt
2x Pillar of Flame
1x Dispel
2x Spell Snare
2x Remand
2x Kolaghan's Command
2x Terminate
1x Fatal Push
1x Dreadbore

Lands
4x Polluted Delta
4x Scalding Tarn
1x Steam Vents
1x Blood Crypt
2x Watery Grave
3x Spirebluff Canal
1x Darkslick Shores
2x Island
1x Swamp

It's inspired for sure by Caleb Durward's list, though I play more fastlands.

It's a local meta thing. I don't expect it at a high level but there are a couple players here that use it, in addition to a Jund player that has some Kitchen Finks.

The deck did get a lot better with Renegade Rallier, I will say that.

I want to learn to play MTG.
There are no circles around my town,so I have to resort to online play.
Where can I learn how to play, and maybe spar with other noobs without having to shell out 10 bucks for M:O?
Sorry if it seems cheap on my end, I just don't want to use that money on something I'm not even sure I'd like in the first place.

God, I wish my store had pauper instead of Modern nights.
>>
>>51576347
Was a meme. Now its tier 2. Its decent enough depending on meta
>>
>>51576364
Dude Pauper is the fucking best format. It's fun, the meta is open and offers a lot of deck types, and also it's cheep. So it will never see a lot of play as Wizards wont see support from 14 year old kids try and buy their way to victory instead of just learning the game.

>Whats the best removal in the format?
Kolaghan's Command is actually the best one in terms of pure value for cost.

>Any that is lowkey spicy tech?
No. It's all known.

>Think fatal push will make a sizable splash in modern?
Modern doesn't have what I would call 'must-kill' creatures in the 0-4 mana range outside of Podless and Evo-Chord. I think it's an extremely good spell under the correct circumstances, but Lightning Bolt already does it's job quite well and Path to Exile cleans up everything else.

>>51576455
Jund or Grixis

>>51576503
I'd say control then.
>>
>>51576503
Don't play grixis control, it's just meme jund for people who refuse to believe that blue isn't dead

Just fucking end it already wizards
>>
>>51576503
>Delver or control? Lots of midrange in my meta

A lot of people will say Grixis Control, but Delver tends to actually be really strong vs Midrange and Control matchups, with a pretty decent Aggro matchup. You have the counterspells and the ability to grind hardcore with Snapcaster Mage, Kolaghan's Command, and Tasigur. Every single threat is a must-answer.

Also, the lines of play are so varied that can you end up having different styles of play within the same match.

Wouldn't exactly call it hate, but dredge. Right now there really isn't a meta at the place I'm playing at, everyone plays something a little different, except for three dudes who all play the same dredge deck

>>
>>51579546

It used to be playable with Probe, so you could get value on t2 before push could stick. Nowadays it's too slow, because you need to have it *and* a 1cmc spell in your hand on t4. Basically the longer you wait in the game, the more likely the opponent is to have already killed you with 6 cards in hand trying to get that juicy pyromancer++ t4, or it was hand sniped before you had the chance.

That said, it's better than goyf in a deck with many spells, and is going to trade 1:1 or better for the same answer (minus bolt). Just don't topdeck it on an empty hand/board (aka the vs GBx boardstate)

Burn but replace the green with black.
>>
>>51583276
Mardu Burn exists, technically. I'm a burn player and toyed with it for a while. Losing out on COmmand and Nacatl really sucks, though. Also, you have a critical mass of burn, but it's mostly sorcery instead of instant.

But the sideboard is pretty sweet with stuff like KCommand and Rakdos Charm. You can side in to a "control " deck, but you still lose.
>>
>>51583276
Drop white from burn
>>
>>51580351
I'm trying three in the hopes that with four delvers they simply won't have enough removal. Although the tempo loss from drawing one late game is a kick in the dick. I don't like clique in the deck so dropping all of them and putting in one of those is my worst case scenario.
>>
>>51583482
What? No, don't do that. Boros Charm is way too good and your sideboard options (Deflecting Palm, Path, etc) are just too good.

Seriously why?

MTGO if you want to pay for your deck again (albeit cheaply), but play against a slightly more serious crowd.

I feel like there is something wrong about:
- asking for advice to dominate your friends
- but being too cheap to do it properly
- damage controlling that there's no cruel intent behind it even though the intent to wreck them is intrinsically questionable

I just feel like it's the most pussy way to go about things. It's like you're asking for advice on how to rob old people without physically harming them. Either you drop some real cash to show that you're a real big dick player or you do the right thing and figure it out yourself (like a good and proper casual) instead of giving us shit and vague parameters to work with especially when you're essentially asking us to help you shitkick casuals.

Anyways, the answer is burn. The answer is always burn in any format. But even the cheapest and reliable versions are well over $100.
>>
>>51585254
it's just a pricing error on their end, if you order the cards it shows up as ~$110. Jund is a pretty fun strategy and sounds like it'd be fun in your meta.
>>
>>51585086
Serious answer : control. UW or UB control with maindeck board wipes should wreck their shit.

>>51585293
>burn
That's not entirely true. I just threw together a mono red burn list with the TCG Low price as $26.82. The average price of $154.14 is scewed because of a listed average price of Lightning Bolts as $25 for some reason. But you can make a burn list that's halfway decent for casual games for cheap.

Or he could look at any competitive pauper list. Thats what i do whenever my EDH friends want to play 60 card whatever. Any of those decks would destroy.

Sleight of Hand actually works really great. The deck needs a lot of draw to even work with 19 lands. In my maindeck with 2 remand, 4 thought scour, 4 serum visions, and 2 sleight of hand you have a lot of draw power.

Also, in regards to Young Pyromancer, he was never a "set and forget" option. Generally you want him out T3 or T4 with a couple spells to use with him. Preferably a counterspell so you get some tempo advantage. In rare situations (i.e. vs Tron or Ad Nauseam) you'll drop him T2.

The deck definitely got worse with the loss of Git Probe, but it's not out yet. Just needs some work.

Overall your deck looks pretty good. Personally I've moved away from Electrolyze. You may also want to try getting a Spirebluff Canal or two, card does some serious work in a deck with 19 lands. I'd also do -1 Young Pyromancer and +1 Sleight of Hand.

>>51592308
Different guy

I've been unimpressed by Sleight of Hand in the deck, personally. Serum Visions and Thought Scour are nice because they don't just draw you a card. They either guarantee a Delver flip, set up your next couple of draw steps, or fuel Delve+Snapcaster. Sleight of Hand offers card selection, but provides little else to the deck. If I wanted more cantrips in the deck, which I do, I'd probably just go up on Remands. In interet of curve, though, instead of the 2 Sleight of Hand I've been using, I'm going to be adding 1x Spell Snare 1x Remand

>>51594051
What I have learned about burn is that appreciating min-max is all and everything. Besides not missing a single damage from optimal, it's not that playing in itself is hard, but learning to play against meta has been tough.

Compared to, for example, UR delver or Tron, I think burn is a lot harder to play. Although it's still nothing compared to hatebears.....

Couple questions since Fatal Push has time to breathe:

You think Delver is back in good standing thanks to Fatal Push? I knew someone who top 8'd a GPT with it and kept praising the card.

And could Faeries make a comeback to at least be a deck that isn't shit? I've got Burn at the moment and I don't wanna be yet another Tron or URx player where I play at.

I'm a guy who decided to start playing again casually with friends and I wanted to make a single deck. I've bought a few boosters and grew interested in a "draw/mill" Blue/Green with a little bit of Black (for cards like Glimpse) that uses the Ingest ability and Clues in order to keep a dynamic game, while some Green enchants like Unbridled Growth and usual Blue control stuff to keep the game moving.

It's just for messing around, really.

>this thing can bring back cancel from the gy
its a solid 5/10 wizard, it should bring back all instants and sorceries but its good enough, if there was an awaken burn spell it would have been a 7/10. Of course to be played in modern it needs to be a 9/10 and somehow be able to get a 2 for 1 like snapcaster.
>>
>>51601408
It does 2for1. Sadly doesn't see standard play, since it's what I feel to be a trap card.

It's a fine card, I wish it was a 2/1 instead of a 2/3, but that's mostly because toughness in modern doesn't mean shit if it's below 3. 2/3 is fine though, 3 mana is fine for a Snapcaster in standard, the additional text is cute. Shitty awaken cards hurt so much though.

It was a T1 strategy during Cruise era and has consistently been either T1 or T2 during its entire life in Modern.

I wouldn't say that it's insanely strong, but it's very powerful and one of the top creatures in modern. It's put up a lot of good results recently, especially in the SCG Regionals this past weekend.

Nah Delver decks in Modren have been Tier 2 for awhile now. I think Fatal Push is what it needs to be T1, at least in terms of just placing in top 8s more.

Also, would Dig Through Time still make BRx decks bonkers if it got unbanned? I don't know what could be done to make blue an ounce or three better in the format.

Right, I'm saying it's either been T1 or T2. Right now it's firmly T2, I'd agree wth you there.

Also yes Dig Through Time would make blue significantly better, but my feeling is that it'd end up in combo decks (RUG Scapeshift/Ad Nauseam?) rather than just traditional blue decks.

Unbanning Preordain would be a great first step.

And preordain, and ponder.... wasnt modern supposed to be an eternal format btw?

Dang, they just used removal on a 1 mana creature and not tasigur/angler.
What a shame.

>>51603267
Which is why I don't play vintage or legacy, if you don't run deck that can support 4x FoW your deck a shit and say hello to gazillion of storm decks that'll rape your shitter.

Still have one copy of foiled ponder just for the sake of having it and got rid of the rest.

What are the bad cards in a grixis delver deck?

Yes because that makes it bad.

Brainstorm is the only one that would have complexity. The rest are simple filter spells and a counterspell
Plus, you act like all decks run those cards

How competitive is the average MTGO league?

I play on Xmage and while I don't mean to brag whatsoever, but, I don't lose games.

If MTGO is much more competitive I will buy into it; begrudgingly. I hate the idea of digital cards but I don't get to play enough in paper

>I play on Xmage and while I don't mean to brag whatsoever, but, I don't lose games.

You could have spared the false modesty and said "xmage is full of shitters" and nobody would have thought you were bullshitting.

Post list and I'll tell you if you lose games.

I don't need you to meme on my deck. I need input on the quality of mtgo opponents
>>
>>51603997
MTGO has the highest concentration of good Magic players than anywhere else with the exception being a Pro Tour. They can sate their addiction at any point and there is somewhat decent prize incentive to winning.

You won't find better opponents elsewhere. And if you find shitters just remember Wizards is too stupid to implement a matchmaker.

In the past The Rock has sometimes been known to splash a third color. And the term is sometimes used to refer to any two- or three-color midrange value deck that includes GB. So it's not entirely pointless to specify that you're talking about a GB variant.
>>
is Esper more than a meme yet
>>
>>51604384
Maybe if people build it differently. It can work against Jund/k but against other, more aggressive blue decks and aggro it still loses.
Durdling just doesn't pay off in Modern

In what fucking context?

Because even in terms of Modern that's way off.

what do you think the best way to build Esper is then? I'm assuming you're talking about Draw-go and the Narset deck
>>
>>51603997
>I don't need you to meme on my deck

And I don't need you to complain about xmage and say you never lose with your meme deck, because I guarantee you that people play top tier decks regularly (I always see GBx, affinity, infect, tron, etc) and you will find bad matchups no matter what deck you're playing. Play more, use ranked serious. You will find occasional meme decks but people with your elo will join and give you a run for your money.

They will never EVER implement a matchmaker.

It violates the number one rule of gambling addiction - everyone's got to win sometimes even if they didn't earn it.

Could you imagine the fucking salt that would exist if you only drafted or battled against the best players? That would mean an actual skill plateau would felt by players and I don't mean to say there isn't a skill plateau, but that getting your shit pushed in more often than not is going to make you FEEL it. A gambler/Magic player in order to continue feeding their addiction has to occassionally stomp some poor bastard into the ground, that's what keeps people coming back and completely dulls the pain from getting your own shit pushed in when facing someone who is superior but you don't want to acknowledge it.

When you attach a real number to your performance whether that be an ELO number or rank, some number of people are going to leave at a much larger rate than if you didn't have that system. That's one reason why they killed the ELO in Magic, not because it didn't work (it doesn't) but because you can't sell a game to people when they are literally sitting across from a person who has proven they have the biggest dick around with an actual science-number.

In fact, streamers wholesale would be against it. For many of them their entire income is based around the fact that they can take their mediocre shit and wreck some unprepared idiot.

4 Thallid Shell-Dweller
2 Thelon of Havenwood
4 Utopia Mycon

It's a guy standing on top of a rock being burned alive by a giant floating ball of fire. This fireball seems to be an attack from the Kami, spirits native to the plane of Kamigawa. Spirits who got so upset with mankind, they raged a war on all they deemed evil. Some people say kami attacks during this war were rife with trickery, subterfuge, and subtlety, draining hope and pride from the mortal world. But other attacks were a lot more straightforward. What did this man do to deserve being toasted alive? What sins did he commit in order to become crispy? Perhaps only the afterworld of Kamigawa might hold soms clues to this enigma.

And it does three damage to target player.
>>
Played against nahiri stax, martyr life, and trondrazi today with my Tooth and Nail.

It went surprisingly well against the first two and a little more than 50/50 against tron.

Hornet Queen pulls is so clutch in every single game it gets on the field.

As I get more playtesting in, I'm going to experiment with Rishkar's expertise, courser of kruphix, and mainboard blood moons.

If I run 1 temple garden and 1 plain, it's possible to get some sick sideboard tech in as well, and even put in some stax tech as well.

ur probably not gonna see this post but i wanna say that the variety of different ways to win and navigate disruption is pretty cool and greater than for other decks i feel.
It's also kind of funny how the blue countermagic matchups are better than the aggro ones.

Obviously it's dope when the deck hands you the turn 2/3 kill but for most games you'll be rewarded for being smart with your cantrips and looting

The deck is just overall wild imo. It's probably the only deck ever to utilize splice onto arcane, has some of the dumbest and biggest creatures in modern, can kill at instant speed, blood moon option, doesn't lose to any single type of hate, etc. feels like the most extreme deck in terms of big numbers as well, the sheer amount of life gain and cards and damage you get to do is bonkers.

Having said all that, you will absolutely lose to the deck and yourself but the deck is pretty powerful and if the above description appeals to you, you should proxy or play it online to see if it sticks with ya.


>>51599232
>no tarpits or mutavaults
maybe you'd win more if your deck wasn't missing over a third of its threats?

Besides discard which fucks over Cheerios, serum visions I guess. Everything else is just played by non-interactive shit that has no right to complain about the opponent playing solitaire. Cheeri0s is the policeman this format needs.

Now what?

>>51608112
you've got your leyline from sideboard, they need to draw their opals, their retracts and their echoing truth, with minimal 0s because they went off turn 2 with a pact of negation. You win off their pact 9 times out of 10.
>>
>>51606593
You forgot o mention it's an Arcane Sorcerery that was implemented during the kamigawa block allowing you to basically fuse two spells with Splice into Arcane mechanic getting 2 for 1 from one spell.

>>51607574
You can still use Dismember in mono green or Beast Within.
>>
>>51608362
Yeah but you can't hold up beast within turn 1.

Uh, Baral is legendary. You could only ever play five copies at once and that deck can't even do that. I do like seeing how that surplus guarantees interaction with your Gifts Ungiven, Rituals, and Manamorphose though.

Honestly you should try out Sorin, Lord of Innistrad. Solemn Visitor is winmore in that without a board state he can't do anything. You make a dude and he dies next turn. Lord of Innistrad actually ticks up while giving you a board presence that has lifelink. He's just so good.
