How do you guys feel about Grim Flayer vs Bob in Junk? I've been doing a lot of testing on cockatrice but I still can't figure out my list.
>>
>>51766140
Junk usually wants flayer because they run a sightly higher curve than jund most of the time and with bob that can hurt you. Flayer also has the added ability of potentially being mini-goyf 5-8 with trample, as well as card selection which can help you get what you need or help you get things in the yard to pump him/goyf or souls in a pinch. Some lists run a split between the two, but if I had to choose I'd choose flayer.
>>
>>51766214
Ive seen the more aggressive junk lists run hierarchs and flayers and bobs. The higher costed list I've been trying has a split of bobs, flayers, and rhinos.
>>
>>51766140
Why not just both.
>>
>>51764559
MonoGreen Stompy can be built for like 50 bucks.
Leatherback Baloth and Dungrove Elder are the only remotely expensive cards
>>
Anyone here going to scg indianapolis?
>>
>>51766140
With Flayer you need to build your deck around him in order for him to be remotely playable. If you have no main deck artifacts/enchantments then don't bother. Some lists play 2-of Nihil spell bombs or Mishra's baubles which apparently is enough, spell bomb isn't an unreasonable main deck card for a GP meta. I personally would rather just play Bob and two more proactive spells and gain value with no effort than include some do nothing cards and bave to work to make Grim Flayer a half way decent imitator

Yeah, that's really the only reason. 90% of things that need to get bolted die to this, and it makes a big boy tarmogoyf real quick. I mean, when you think about it in alot of cases, it's deal 2 damage, put 2 +1+1 on your creature
>>
>>51778519
You usually play it in addition to bolt in decks that want to make bigger goyfs, temur delver runs a few usually. It also helps enable delirium in decks that run traverse the ulvenwald and I think the recent death's shadow lists usually run that as well.

Honestly hidden herbalist doesn't seem like it makes it that much easier to case battalion. Your enable also needs to be enabled? Too many hoops. And a 4/3 isn't that great for all that effort, you should go with Myr Superion instead and even that is kind if niche, better stats but can literally only be case off BTE or HH

Thinking of making some shitbrew aristocrats deck using the Flip Lilly and Ormendahl.

Question is what pieces do i put in to succesfully flip the Prince without bigger issues? CoCo is obviously a must.

Possibly no Melira shenanigans since for stomping I got my tron to do that.

There's your problem anon.

If you're not dropping the money for guides, I'd recommend pulling the Burn at the Stakes, the Dragon Fodders, and a mountain for a set of Reckless Bushwhacker and a pair of Raging Goblin.

If you want to be really spicy though, maindeck a set of Goblin King and Blood Moon.

Did you have any particularly spicy/fun matches? Also whats your fanciest/nicest card in the deck.
>>
>>51785260
Pretty much. The deck should be reasonably more aggressive now and the blood moons can cripple many opposing decks.
>>
>>51785371
Last game was pretty intense.
He had the combo on turn 4. If i had of drawn exactly galvanic blast i could have killed his Melira and equipped 2 platings to an inkmoth for lethal poison (he was at a 100 billion life)

Game 2 i am on the play, he plays blooming marsh in to noble heirarch, then fetches for temple garden to path one of my creatures. My turn i untap and cast bloodmoon with an opal up to feign a stubborn denial/galvanic blast. Chip away for a couple of turns before he scoops. Game 3 i side the blood moon out as he got wrecked by it so would play around it. I mulligan to 6 and keep a strong hand (whipflare, mountain, glimmevoid, signal pest, Cranial Plating and Vault Skirge)

Get opponent down to 10 from him fetching and shocking and me chipping away with a 4/1 plated ornithopter and signal pest. Have Galvanic blast as only card in hand, hold on to in case of combo. I draw a master of etherium & play it, now i am swinging for 10 if i activate blinkmoth, so opponent paths the master. I hit for 6 and then sho the gal blast. Feel super lucky as he is a great player and great guy.
>>
>>51785446
Damn that sounds intense. Do you feel the deck was the right call for the meta or was it simply your play that allowed you to 6-3?
>>
>>51785371
Melira pod is an awful match up for affinity.

So is ad nauseum that i played rnd 3 - he combos off in Game 1. Game 2 i attack with a cranial equiped inkmoth was that 7/1. He taps out for Forfend (?) & i windmill slam my Stubborn Denial. Game 3 i get off to an aggro start and cast chalice for 1. Opponent had 2 angels grace in hand, was at 11 and facing exactly 11. Another super nice guy that i had played before
>>

Mainly play. I played a guy in the mirror who was pretty good. Beat me 2-0. I learned a bit. Also actively acknowledged a few mistakes i made even in games where i won - hopefully can learn from. Have a lot to learn about the deck and dont play often.

>>51785941
I think the card's pretty straightforward, it does one or more of the following: Makes your go wide -starts with Signal Pest better, is an Ancestral Recall when your opponent can't be arsed or can't afford to remove a 1/1 that doesn't even have Plating on, finishes your opponent from an empty board with haste after Liliana of the Veil is active and/or your board besides Plating is gone, or at the very least cantrips.

The problem with your bait is that Bant Eldrazi ("Eldrazi Aggro") is midrange, Abzan is midrange, Jund is midrange, Death's Shadow's critical turn is back to like 4-5, it plays LOTV for crying lout and Affinity is objectively the most fun deck in Modern.

No, I know about cockatrice, but there's a second program people talk about that for the life of me, I can't remember the name of.

>>
>>51789851
desu opal wouldn't hurt either.
>>
>>51789851
The deck would work almost as well with Hurkyl's Recall or SSG. Wizards may pretend that it isn't their policy, but they really don't want to see decks such as Storm and Cheerios doing well. Those suggestions don't cut it.

>>51790409
Tbh it's too slow to get online. Most decks that use it don't get it down until t4ish and you're already dead by then. It has the same problem as gifts ungiven decks. Good cards, good strategy, but their just not fast enough in Linear Uninteractive Aggro: the format.
>>
>>51790409
It's shit, and you'd waste your money and time if you bought it.
>>
>>51790461
how do I shut down linear uninteractive aggro then?
>>
>>51790481
Ensnaring bridge
>>
>>51790556
Ensuring bridge requires you to play a strategy where you can play while hellbent, so it's not just a jam it and win answer like bloodmoon
>>
>>51790671
It's great in the thopter sword deck
>>
>>51778722
It's also delirium for Traverse the Uvenwald. Use Street Wraith, Bauble, and Tarfire and you have delirium for R.
>>
>>51790055
The reason the deck works right now is that it is faster than the other linear decks. If they lose recall, it probably becomes the same speed or slower than the other decks with less interaction. I could be wrong, but I'm selling my retracts and some of my puresteels either way.

>>
>>51791273
>killing affinity
No. Affinity would survive, maybe be reduced to tier 2 at lowest.

Cheeri0s absolutely needs mox opal though. SSG is not an adequate replacement in any way, because SSG is only ever good for one mana per card, instead of one mana per loop.
>>
>>51791204
How do you cast Retract/Hurkyll's the turn you play your dude without Mox Opal?

>>51791301
Dude, if Frank Karsten says Affinity won't survive an Opal ban (given artifact lands already are), it won't survive an Opal ban.
>>
>>51791429
Use SSG to cast your dude, Retract with your land, more SSGs for Grapeshot or just wait for turn 3, Paradise Mantle equips for free to Paladin.

Getting rid of retrace should be enough to make Cheerios not complete bullshit. If its still to strong they'll probably ban Paradise mantle or something. But getting rid of Opal completely destroys Lantern and Affinity and makes them unplayable jank, so WotC isn't gonna do that... unless they actually want to completely kill modern as a format.

>what is steel overseer
>what is signal pest
They are clearly amazing card on their own. Pay 2 for a 1/1 that takes an entire turn to do something, and a 0/1 with battlecry, which by itself is also amazing (try attacking with it alone).
>what is cranial plating
It's a strong equipment, probably the strongest card in the deck considering a synergy, but still, it's worth 0 by itself, also costs 2+1 to do something, the same for example a Liliana, that can win by herself.
>what is etched champion
A 2/2 that's a godsend for control matches, as if Grixis Control was abusive against this deck as it is. The only card that can make a player feel confortable agaisnt the huge ammount of cards that can hurt Affinity immensely. Still is a 3 mana for a 2/2.

All the cards that are very situational, all of them have requirements to be effective and not a burden in your hand. Modern is feeling with cost effect creatures, being the most knowledgeble, the Tarmogoyf, which is a 4/5 for 2 mana (although when enters is usually a 3/4). So saying that 1/1s, 0/1s, 2/2s are overpowered when you can put much larger creatures by the same cost, is not doing a very good research.
>>
>>51796016
the difference being that goyf comes down on 2 whereas overseer and pest can both come down on 1 making unfair boardstates that are difficult to interact with.
>>
>>51796094
Goyf survives Bolt.
Overseer and pest don't.
Overseer is literally putting a 1/1 at turn 1, with Mox Opal.

Death Cloud was kind of a thing when I first tried modern, but it was more of just a ramp thing than a grindy strategy. Is that still around?
>>
>>51796248
If you can't answer to a Steel Overseer that means you are racing it, which means you can't complain it starts to grow, because it still takes a couple of turns. Affinity isn't Infect, where if you can't interact you can die the next turn.

Get fucked, broken shit is ruining this format which is why wotc is cutting support and attendance is down.

The only way to actually make modern good is to lower the power level to make the format more accessible and either reprint expensive cards or ban them to allow more entry to the format. Just because I recognize that most of the decks in modern are cancer and killing the format does not mean I'm ruining the game, fuck off.

>>51796806
>death's shadow

Confirmed for never playing the deck or just being salty. death's shadow has one of the highest skill caps in the game because of balancing the life loss and knowing when, if it all, to go for the kill. Also mana sequencing and how and when to get delirium online for traverse is another aspect that it challenging.

Stay mad
>>
>>51797050
they're fairly poor match ups. grixis delver tends to be light on threats, so getting delver searing blaze'd sucks. add in how self-harming a three color mana base is, and that you're not in the colors for life gain in the sideboard, and burn isn't a very pretty match. You also don't have the pressure to kill tron before they get online, and since modern's best counters are just "pay [N] extra mana" tron literally just waits one extra turn and ignores all of those. and delver doesn't have much of an answer to karn/ugin/world breaker/ulamog.

>>51797050
i think the grixis delver shell is flexible enough that the deck can be tweaked to make any matchup favorable but i don't think there's a way to have good game 1s vs both tron and burn.
The lists that are good in the current meta are indeed too slow to be favored against tron. If they resolve any of their threats it's usually gg for delver and even if you manage to counter ulamog it will wreck your clock. as for burn, i think grixis has decent interaction, it just has to draw it in the first 3 turns. So yeah neither of these are good matchups

You probably want more lands, even with Serum Visions

You want all 4 Paths before any Pushes

Swap one Gideon for an Elspeth, K-E

Three Snappy might be one too many

Tas is bad without Thought Scour

You don't want to run any counters in the main because you're actually a midrange deck. Removal and discard all the way.

When you put counters in the side it should probably be Negate

4 Verdicts in the 75 seems like a good idea

Try to squeeze in 4 manlands, maybe a 2/1/1 split with mostly Tar Pits

What happens if I imprint Blessed Alliance or Collected Brutality to Isochron Scepter?

I can cast their additional modes for basically free? Or only one?

also new thread when?

anyone?

6/8/2016: Because you’re already casting the spell using an alternative cost (by casting it without paying its mana cost), you can’t pay any other alternative costs for the card. You can pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those.

Why is WotC so scared of releasing good token generators?

Creatures are getting progressively stronger and the only good token generator since the Innistrad Block was Twin, and it wasn't even a conventional token generator. And it got banned.

I don't see how any of those, except Monastery Mentor, are better than Lingering Souls.

So no one here seems to have mentioned that Lantern Control won GP Brisbane. What are everyone's thoughts?

Ban 8th/9th edition

Opal ban is pretty much inevitable now desu.

The only really good one on your list is Elspeth and she costs 6 mana. Lingering souls is head and shoulders above almost everything else for effective token generation (as card advantage)

Nope. cheeri0s is actually better without Opal, you're just going to improve the deck. Meanwhile, Affinity, a deck that has consistently been at the top of the meta for forever, just like Splinter Twin, is unplayable without Opal, and Wizards, in its desire to preserve the status quo of the meta and prevent the format for rotating, will never, ever, ever ban Opal. Despite it meeting all the same criteria that eventually lead up to Chrome Mox being banned. Opal, like Sol Ring in commander, is absolutely a cornerstone of Modern and necessary for the format's health.

What in the fuck are you talking about

You could have said all of that about Twin, and it got banned, dude. And it wasn't fast mana, it was a fucking 4 mana creature enchantment. Again, a 4 mana aura was too good for the format. Face it, nothing is safe in Modern.

It's quite simple anon: Mox Opal is a crutch, but actually holds back cheeri0s deckbuilding. Wizards, having extensively tested all varieties of the deck long ago, know that by banning Mox Opal, they'd force cheeri0s players to adapt and move onto the far more powerful Simian Spirit Guide (spoiled for the protection of the meta), which would usher in a new Combo Winter.
>>
>>51803060
>Wizards isn't interested in artificial rotation to spice things up and sell boosters

How about the Twin ban before the PT that was clearly just to sell Eldrazis for the new, hot Eldrazi deck?

How do you plan on retracting?
>>
>>51803288
Obviously Paradise Mantle. It's about 10000% more efficient than Mox Opal. Spoiled to keep the secret out, do not look unless you vow to never let the cheeri0s players know, lest we have combo winter again.
>>
>>51803149
The reason why Twin was banned was because all Blue Decks had to use Red in order to use Twin, since not using was a major disadvantage.
It wasn't a very appealling ban, more Blue Decks appeared, in other words, Twin was limiting Blue, into always forcing it's use.
If you Ban Mox Opal, you simply remove a Deck, Mox isn't limiting an Artefact Deck, it actually is creating (Affinity, Latern and now Cherri0s).
Twin ban was a mistake, but you must understand, it was a completely different reason, one only allowed one type of Blue Deck, other creates new Decks.

Seriously, I think there's a greater than 50% chance that Wizards will ax Opal in March, and I'm thinking about selling my cute artifacts.
>>
>>51803395
You might as well. Everyone thinks there's a good chance besides delusional cheeri0s players, and there's going to be a crash in price before the banning.
>>
>>51803350
>It wasn't a very appealling ban, more Blue Decks appeared, in other words, Twin was limiting Blue, into always forcing it's use.
Maro, this makes no sense. There was much more non-Twin blue in the format when Twin was around because those decks, Delver and control flavors, had very good Twin matchups. Now, even with AV, blue is pretty much dead.

Meme magic at work. Someone is trying to meme the opal ban into reality.
>>
>>51803553
Look, I don't deal in weird theory crafting magic. I'm dealing with facts. And the fact is that Paradise Mantle+Simian Spirit Guide is so far and above Mox Opal that banning Mox Opal would be pointless. Which is why clearly, wizards wouldn't do it, despite mox opal meeting every ban criteria.

Get two welcome decks and upgrade them

>tfw my opal funposting is coming back to haunt me
>people actually want to ban it
With the git probe banning I wouldn't put it past wizards to actually do it, even though affinity and lantern aren't a problem and cheerios folds to literally any interaction.

Why do they literally have to ban something every couple of months, modern isn't on the pt and we just lost more tournaments so why can't they fuck off from the monthly bannings?

Treefolk will be considered Tier 1 by the end of the year.
Screencap this.
>>
>>51804479
Considering wizards prints new cards with no regard for how they will affect the format, this was inevitable
>>
>>51804580
they could either ban one of the paladin effects or retract though since banning the engines is historically what they do, banning opal just on the basis of hurting other decks is just retarded even though I could see wotc doing it.

"we needed an opal ban because people are sick of affinity and hate lantern"-wotc.
>>
>>51804632
Don't you remember the Eye of Ugin ban? The reason Wizard's chose it was because it hurt tron just slightly, in addition to stopping eldrazi winter.

A mox opal ban would knock down lantern, a deck everyone hates, and justifably lower affinity a bit, while at the same time completely fucking cheeri0s over without banning the engine.

it's the perfect ban, and the chances wizards does it are 99%.
>>
>>51804961
it would kill affinity, not knock it down just a bit and lantern might not even be functional without opal.

It's a retarded ban that's only being perpetuated by memers that get their fee fees upset by affinity and lantern.

Also mox doesn't dominate the format or contribute to a busted deck like eye of ugin so that's a very different situation
>>
>>51804994
>or contribute to a busted deck
How could one person be so delusional
>>
>>51805003
if you think affinity, lantern or cheerios are even on the same level as eldrazi during Eye of ugin then you're delusional not me.

>inb4 affinity is busted and needs a ban
>>
>>51805034
Cheeri0s is busted because it can consistently combo by turn 3.

>consistently
>folds to literally any interaction
It is less than 1% of the meta and hasn't done well in GP van or GP Brisbane. There's a reason no one is playing it and it's because it's still a meme deck.
>>
>>51805308
also not to mention the fizzle rate for the deck is pretty high if you try to go off early
