>>
>>51610602
That's like saying Twin expected the opponent to never interact with them.

It's the same mana cost to go off, the same sorcery speed requires a creature interaction, simply doesn't require drawing an Exarch or Pestermite.

Being able to threaten an Emrakul at any point while dumping 2/2 Vigilance dudes doesn't seem like a horrible idea.

>>51610624
I feel like it's fairly evident the Inquisition/Thoughtseize/Sorin gameplan is simply not viable in the current meta, given the fact that WB tokens is utter trash right now.
>>
>>51610626
>>51610602
Interaction is a meme by this point in Magic, modern or any other format.

If you run discard and/or countermagic in a combo deck, people will still go
>LOL DUDE, SOLITAIRE! MUH INTERACTION!

There's retards bashing burn for not being interactive.

At this point unless you're playing jund exclusively, you're not being interactive in a magic game, because everyone wants other people to follow their wishes.
>>
>>51610681
Yeah Tron's probably the hardest matchup because of how many answers they have to either gameplan.


I've got mainboard Timely Reinforcements so I'm not seeing the Burn matchup being too tough, especially after sideboard.

>same as first but i have lilli
>but i thoughtsiezed your entire decks plan on turn 1
It's a four of, it more than likely is not even in my opening hand, I'm not too concerned about Thoughtseize. Liliana's ability isn't really a relevant argument given that the cards are in a token shell.

>i path your token in response
I cast it for X=2 because you had path mana up, what then anon? Are you going to path my Emrakul?
>>
>>51610459
>>51610270
>>51610379
The problem with this is that 67% of the games you're playing a worse version of BW tokens, which already is a bad deck. Not to mention that the combo is countered by literally every removal spell in the format.
>>
>>51610681
Not him:
>Tron shit on you
Tron is a unwinable matchup, if you gat paired agaisnt one, just ask to write 2/0 for them
>burn shut on token
Token is actualy good vs burn, having extra value from timely reinforcement and running manlands with lifelink is great
Also a turn of sorin usualy win you the game
>jund shut on token
You can outmidrange jund the same way you do it with abzan
>W.dec shit on token
Thats why I run mirrorweave as my secret teck istead of splashing a color
Becaus if you don't want to die you have to path your own creature if you don't wanna die
But it's good only on creature matchups
>>
>>51610682
Twin had redundancy, filtering, counterspells, and was instant speed. Sure you had to attack, but you could combo off whenever. Plus drawing 8 cards from 60 is pretty easy

>>51610778
Lili forces you to sac a creature and emrakul is your only guy

Sure,i'll path both or bolt them. Or cast supreme verdict on my turn.
>>
>>51610835
White-Black tokens is good against burn. Not WR

And no, you literally can't "out midrange" jund

>mirrorweave against path
Wat?


It's ok to play a bad deck, as long as you know why it's bad im trying to make esper viable. Trust me i know that feel
>>
>>51610778
>I cast it for X=2
On turn 5? You won't be able to turn emracool sideways until t6. If you've got 2 or more tokens on T5 you're already winning anyway. BW control struggles against combo and tron. Tron shits on this combo and and both AN and Valakut aren't going to lose to a T6 emrakul. All this combo does is improve the already good MU's without improving on the bad ones. But you don't understand that because you don't play b/w tokens.
>>
>>51610682
It's not viable, bit it's the gameplan and the fact that it's doing terrible doesn't change that
>>
>>51610804
Well it isn't that I don't draw into it 67% of games, but rather that I don't necessarily play it turn 4, mostly to avoid the situation you mentioned. Waiting until five mana to target two of my creatures dodges everything except double removal which I should be able to see coming.

>>51610852
Twin was most certainly not instant speed, it could play a piece of the combo at instant speed.
>Plus drawing 8 cards from 60 is pretty easy
Lists often didn't have a full playset of any card that wasn't Twin. Plus you have to consider Twin was a two-card combo, even if you had twice the pieces you were still half as likely to have the pieces you needed.

This being effectively a one-card combo cuts slots in the deck, while keeping roughly the same probability as going off as Twin but without the deck manipulation.

>>51610927
That is helpful input. I don't imagine Tron being winnable in any case while Ad Nauseam is hardly a deck anymore. Titanbreach is a serious problem that should be answerable somehow but I'm not seeing it.
>>
>>51610992
>Twin wasn't instant speed
You can activate creature abilities anytime you have priority. And with semen visions and remand you were effectively running a 52 card deck without your opening hand. Sure they didn't always draw it, but they could still win without it. You're "one card combo" is very easily disrupted and gets stopped by almost every deck
>>
>>51610918
I was playing BW token, I stopped because there is too much tron where I leave
Against jund, you have ton consider that every removal they use kill 1/3rd or 1/4th of a card
Thanks to Vault of Archangel, you can kill a goyf or a kalitas with a token
Maelstrom pulse and decay are something, so you try to thoughtsize or IoK them from your opponent
Lili is dogshit in the matchup, because you can always discard ligering soul

The deck isn't bad because it loose to midrange, it is bad because it loose to everything else
>>
>>51611059
The point of asking how to build tokens was so that my deck could win without drawing IC.

>You can activate creature abilities anytime you have priority.
You're a genius. Please tell me how you're casting Splinter Twin and entering combat at the end of their turn.
>>
>>51610992
>Ad Nauseam is hardly a deck anymore.
???

Seriously tho, I don't see the point of the combo. Like it said the MU's that it improves(jund, junk, grixis, jeskai) are MU's that aren't really a problem for the standard BW tokens list. It does nothing to improve the aggro and combo MU. While it's a pretty cool idea, ultimately you're giving up consistency(the combo takes 5 slots) while not getting much in return. But feel free to post a rough list, maybe I'm wrong.
>>
>>51611073
Lili maybe bad against the deck overall,but for the "combo" she sure as shit stops a single emrakul
>>
>>51611098
You never played with or against Twin did you?

You try to kill twin while they have exarch/mite on the field? In response make a million tokens. Then your now useless removal resolves. Instant speed doesn't mean 'always on opponents turn'. It means 'literally whenever i have priority'. Look up Twin and see why it was good.

WR tokens might be a thing but your combo certainly is not. Try nahiri if you want emrakul. With tokens you can protect her AND it has haste
>>
>>51611098
??????

Step 1: EOT your turn cast pestermite
Step 2: My turn cast splinter twin
Step 3: ???
Step 4: PROFIT!!!
>>
>>51611115
It's literally a token deck. I'm not sure how Liliana is going to impact my board in any significant manner without a pile of additional removal to assist her.

>>51611107
Ad Nauseam is barely tier 2 if that, not exactly "deck to beat" status.

You're probably right though, I've got zero understanding of any of the matchups.

>>51611250
You have to be autistic to not understand common parlance and argue vehemently for a dictionary definition.

Splinter Twin is an enchantment. Combat is a phase that can only be moved to after the first main phase when both players pass priority in succession. These two actions share the requirements of casting a sorcery, the main phase being empty and nothing being on the stack.

Twin didn't put Twin on a Pestermite and pass, only to activate at some other time that wasn't BoC. They tapped the Pestermite and then proceeded to kill you dead.

>>51611302
>my turn
Thank you.
>>
>>51611333
>enchantment
I legit completly forgot it wasn't a creature. But you seem to know how Twin works. So how in the hell do you not think it wasn't instant speed?
>>
>>51611392
Ad Nauseam is an example of an instant speed combo. They can hold mana and blooms back and the moment it appears you can't interact with them they can combo that off, whether that be your upkeep or their EoT.

A combo that goes through combat, let alone one that requires casting an enchantment is hardly instant speed. I am aware that you may activate abilities at instant speed, but that's irrelevant for Twin's purposes.

How you don't understand that is beyond me.
>>
>>51611333
A literal token that the combo literally relies on to literally kill its own tokens. It's turn 4 and with both of us killing your guys. And on my turn 4 i can pulse or decay any remaining tokens and have you sac emmy.Its a bad plan sempai. Run other cards

>>51611302
I forgot to mention pestermite is on turn 3.
>>
>>51611455
>turn 2 any two token producing spell
>turn three any three token producing spell
So in that time you've cast four removal spells and Liliana?
>>
>>51611424
Jesus Christ, anon. It's like your being dense on purpose. Instant Speed doesn't mean on your opponent's turn. Instant speed means at anytime you can cast an instant. The deck didn't win instantly like AN, but the combo can be done at instant speed. Thus negating removal. Which is why twin was good. Ic is not
>>
>>51611525
If your only criteria is dodging single target removal, then I don't see how IC doesn't qualify given that you can simply target two things.

>It's like your being dense on purpose
It's like you don't understand what terms actually mean, likely because you don't even play the game.
>>
>>51611494
Seeing as your drawing any card you want, what happens when you draw emrakul?
>>
>>51611583
4x Faithless Looting, 3x Nahiri

Come at me cunt. If all of my Jund draws by four were lands, Liliana, three bolts, an Abrupt Decay, a Thoughtseize and a Goyf, I probably wouldn't lose a single match either.
>>
>>51611574
Because if your targeting two things on turn 5 now, where is your opponent that they can't deal with a turn 6 emrakul? Shit most decks have already won or lost at this point.

Instant Speed combo is a combo that can go off at instant speed. This isn't hard grasp.

>>51611609
And now your just salty that nobody is impressed by your 33% chance of a turn 4 emrakul.
>>
>>51611609
>Dedicating 8 cards for a bad version of Jeskai
>Watering down your own decks strategy
>Not just going full aggro Mardu token ham

>>
>>51611652
The come at me was mostly friendly, learn how to handle banter anon.

How many decks have cards that can actually kill an Emrakul, regardless of turn? Emeria, Jund and Tron are the only ones that come to mind. Why are you so focused on turn count like I'm just playing lands and passing? My deck has threats and answers in it too, it's not like I'm neither interacting nor advancing my boardstate.

>>51611690
I didn't feel bad casting any of those cards in my playtesting actually. WR tokens doesn't have many other things to resolve turn 1 unfortunately.

Say that to my face and not online
>>
>>51611707
Turn count matters in modern, man. When Karn or Ugin comes out on turn 3, affinity is swarming the board, jund has stripped your hand, and burn has you in the red zone, turn 4 and 5 are critical points in the game. Even a bad enough dude like emrakul doesn't quite make that big of a splash. And Tron and jund are both tier 1, which means you will be facing them a lot. You might fair better with junk/abzan

As for turn 1 plays that's why Mardu tokens is getting some attention. Thoughtseizing your opponent's best answer is always a good play. Plus black gives access to fatal push.

What decks were you testing against?

Anon its not the curve of the deck, its that the card in question has place in this niche. This isnt path to exile this is you losing a land. There is nothing worse than missing one land drop but forcing yourself to lose a turns worth of lands is suicide in a format that can end on turn 2. Deprive is meant to be played in a deck that can take extra turns.
>>
>>51612893
>bouncing a shock
>when you have 15 other targets

Dude, come on. It's not that bad. It's not GREAT, but one or two Deprive along with other counters should be alright.

I would be more worried about having UU in this kind of deck than anything else.
>>
>>51612893
I find it hilarious that modern, even with actual wizards effort to constantly slow down the format is still faster than Legacy or Vintage.
>>
>What's your favorite counter in the format? And why?
Logic Knot as a one-of in a Fetch heavy shell, about once a FNM there's something I want to Leak but can't because they'll pay the 3, dropping a Leak for a single Logic Knot deals with that elegantly.

>How do you play around/bluff counter magic?
I like to get into counter wars because my deck can but otherwise I just play in to it, in Modern they run out of counters before you run out of threats.

>Any blowouts because of them?
Cryptic counterbounce is an awesome blowout when they're trying to land a wrath or something, love doing that.

Ok. If counters are our thing here maybe you can help me out.

What's the optimal counter list to give me game across modern. Let's say I've never played blew before mostly Mardu colours.

I know what I'm building isn't optimal by the least but it's damn fun to play and doesn't auto lose to the top decks. Esper meme. So far I'm on 3 cryptic, 2 remand and bouncing between 2 and 3 spell snares (I really underestimated this cards impact on the format). I have a similar curve to grixis control maybe a touch fatter.

No, we hate getting our towers extracted. If it's only destroyed, then I can just get another one. The entire deck is designed to grab lands and slam fatty. And I guarantee that you'll run out of gas faster than I'll run out of ramp spells. Plus post sideboard I have loam and crucible depending on how I'm feeling.

Of course all of this is assuming you aren't running extraction. Which you should be in a LD deck

This. It doesn't stop WoG, planeswalkers, creatures, or anger. But if you have something you absolutely need to protect on the cheap and have a versatile card against GBx and burn, look no further. It has a boatload of targets, and the fact that it doesn't stop some proactive plans is alright as long as a deck shows up that has a game winning threat in these colors. It's disgusting tempo with snapcaster.

>>51618234

fave counter is probably shoal. it feels so good to tap out with interaction up
i usually brute force through counters instead of playing around them. comboing off with double pact protection, boseiju, or having more efficient spells in the case of delver is what does the trick
i think dispel is one of the best counters that hasn't been mentioned much itt. does chalice count as a counterspell? it's really good but more of a counterpermanent i guess

>>51612704
>>51612893
i think you are vastly overstating the drawbacks of deprive. if it's the only interaction in your opener and somehow the rest of your cards are 2-drops then you can just mulligan. Also your greentext isn't very compelling. It's not a 2 for 1 and even if it was, tempo decks often want to trade cards for tempo. It's not a timewalk unless your opponent spent no mana on the thing you are countering and if you deprive when you're already on three/four lands it doesn't really set you back since that's where you stop making land drops anyways and it becomes counterspell
having said that and played neither, i think i like delay better.

>>51613606
>Keep them off tron as long as possible
is that really a good strategy for any thoughtseize deck? the difference between turn 3 tron and turn 5 tron doesn't feel that great for non-combo black decks and i don't think i've ever kept someone off tron by ripping tutors. not to mention they have 8 tutors for lands and only 1 tutor for bombs...

>In what matchup do you bring reveler in ?
>How is your sideboard plan in these matchups ?

I bring the Reveler package in a lot of the time. It's not always the same but the package usually includes Reveler, Huntmaster and Blood Moon.

Huntmaster and Blood Moon should be rather obvious, but Bedlam comes in against any deck where I can't just drop a threat or two and tempo them out. Control, Midrange, Affinity, etc.
It may seem janky on paper but really, dropping a 3/4 prowess and drawing 3 cards is GG for a lot of decks, and if it isn't, I'll traverse for another Reveler.
You and jund are in top deck mode and you've both exhausted your answers and threats. Now I've got an advantage.
I've used up my Delvers and removal on Affinity, now I have one last hard to remove threat for them and a grip.

The concession to Reveler is that you need to board out Mandrills. They don't play well together.

Sometimes I win simply by using Reveler as a draw spell to dig for bolts. Countless times I've been on the verge of death just to 'Revel' into bolt/snap/counterspell and can clutch the game out there.

Seal of Primordium is another concession to Bedlam Reveler so we can drop it in anticipation of a RiP or other problem card instead of making the choice between discarding it or holding back on the Reveler plan.

Boros has me now. I would go Naya but I don't have tarns and without them I've been burned too many times by not having green available.

Fellow burnbros, do you Boros or Naya? Any bump in the night mardu/jund boiz?

also, I've been trying 20 lands lately and I kindof hate it, only reason I like it is because it fills a slot. The eternal 1lander feels bad man but the flood feels even worse.

This. The tutors+lands that tap for more than 1 isn't a combo in the win the game sense, it's a requisite for playing an over-the-top tap-out board *control* game. Reminder that Karn, Oblivion Stone and 4-of removal spell of your choice cannot win the game, Ugin would be unplayable if he couldn't -x, Wurmcoil would be played even if it had defender and World Breaker's primary function is to block fliers and answers your opponent's best threats with the relevant keywords.

Eldrazi Tron isn't a Tron deck, it's a worse version of Bant Eldrazi and/or Legacy Eldrazi Stompy, the exemplary stupid beatdown deck with just enough "interaction" to stop your opponent from stopping your combats.

>>51624876
I was playing at a tournament in Toronto last week, when I suddenly realized that I fucking hate playing grim lavamancer. It's a good card, but it always eats a bolt right away, or I simply never draw it. Decided to run two helix in the main instead.

>>
>>51625736
Because ramp isn't a gameplan, it's a means of executing it. Belcher ramps into a turn turn 1 goldfish, Tron ramps into a tap-out control game, anything involving Gifts Ungiven+signets ramps into the namesake on turn 3 or just more answers per turn than your opponent can deploy threats, Bant Eldrazi ramps into dumb beaters, Valakut ramps into inevitability and/or one-shot kills with Scapeshift/Breach Ttitan.

For one, Burn is more expensive in Modern than in Legacy, purely because you're not going mono-red.

Still, it's not a bad deck, though it never was or will be tier 1 as far as Eternal formats go. The deck is too dependent on top decking luckily.

Yet, it receives too much hate here, even if it is an easy deck to play, there still are decks that have a bad match up against burn.

Decide my fate /tg/, what deck should I play for the next 6 monthes: Melira Company, Infect or Bant Eldrazi

My problem with Melira Company is that the deck fucking disappeared once hate came in via dredge being a thing so its possible it happens again. Ive always thought this deck was dogshit, but being a pod player I want it to be good.

My problem with infect is that with fatal push, removal and melira spam recently theres so much shit you have to play through. Infect has always been able to deal with it but I wonder if its gotten to be too much now.

My problem with Bant eldrazi is that I never feel like I am winning, I feel like my deck is winning. I ramp, shit out some number of eldrazi and see what happens. The deck is completely fucking brainless and sometimes it feels like there was actual nothing I could do to not lose. The deck also eats shit to the numerous combo decks that exist rn.

That's actually the best creature ever printed in the fucking game and is one of the most played cards in Legacy. Modern is by no means a good fit for a card of that caliber. The card does way too many things and way too well and all it would cause is a lot of decks simply going from tier 1 or tier 1.5 to tier 2 or less and tier 2 decks and rogues just disappearing from competitive scene.

The problem is that you really do care what choice they make, if can combo this with something like extort or better yet something that would double their loss of life then sure it's a good card.

Otherwise you're dealing with countering something that people would want be okay with being countered or something that puts them on the advantage and the life doesn't matter anymore.

The best case scenario this card can be is an advantageous lava axe that combos to put you back on even footing, otherwise it's going to be used as a wasted counterspell.

Now maybe stick it on an iso stick with some untap and you can have some fun.

Trophy mage + swords on a geist of st traft deck.
Yay or nay?
>>
>>51634860
Make it bant with noble hierarch and company, you might get somewhere. It will still be worse than most other decks.
>>
>>51634860
Bogles is infinitely better at the Voltron plan. Trophy Mage is do nothing outside of being an expensive tutor.
The swords ate underwhelming in modern anyway
Way too much mana to tutor, play swords and equip. Not to mention the 3cmc for Geist

It's someone else's list, haven't done any tuning at all yet. Not entirely sold on thalia. Renegade Rallier is great, it can either get a fetch for more damage or just return a creature for value.
Also the esper player has smuggler's copter, spicy.
>>
>>51635892
Not really. You can run something like Lil' Zurgo, but that's just bad. I think i used Spark Elementals until i got guides.

They're kind of essential.
>>
>>51635845
I'd really love if Esper Delver worked but it just sucks
>>
>>51635892
vexing devil is better than goblin guide because he always deals at least 4 and the opponent doesn't get a card out of him either. Ignore the memers that say he's bad because of the choice, I play him and he puts in work.

It's terrible to give your opponent a choice. They will always choose the option that's worse for you. Would you run Browbeat?
>>
>>51636350
The choice does matter, depending against what you play, though the card isn't terrible.
>better than goblin guide
Well, you're the "memer" here. Goblin guide puts in way more work in most match ups than Vexing ever would.

Delver decks are some of the most difficult to pilot in any format. Check yourself bruh
>>
>>51636723
>b-b-but this weak deck thats my favorite has choices to make!
When delver is the highest played and most powerful deck while retaining that complexity that arguement will work.
>>
>>51636825
Dude. Why you so upset? Also your reasoning is retarded
>>
>>51636723
>Modern
Proper storm and Mono U tron and gifts tron are all more complex and harder to pilot than delver variants. I'm sure there's some other decks too that could be argued for.
>Legacy
Miracles, DDFT, TPS, ANT all more complex and harder than delver variants to play properly
>Vintage
lol

Still, way more to discuss about because of variants alone and way harder than burn ever was or will be.

Banning batterskull makes unbanning Stoneforge somewhat reasonable.
I personally support the action in order to make equipment less garbage in modern.

Swords are kinda shit in modern senpai
were stoneforge mystic legal they would be fine, but without it they are just the definition of underwhelming.

Don't use just the cards from the kit. It's for new players and will not carry you very far in a competitive format where your opponents are using a card-pool from the last 12 or so Years of magic.

Goyf in small zoo is just so underwhelming. I cut it when I used to play Naya zoo.
>>
>>51639496

Doesn't goyf work best in more value/midrange decks?

Cause if you're running Big or Company Zoo, Goyf works a lot better since you're running bigger guys (for them) with bigger guts.

Little Zoo works best imo when you're going all in with Bushwacker/Atarka's.
>>
>>51638156
Why the actual fuck did you drop the format when Eye was banned? It's not like it hurts Tron any substantial amount to matter, in fact Tron is slated very well against a slower meta after the recent bannings and has been putting up decent numbers.
