Pod and Twin
>>
I'm really enjoying Bant Spirits right now. My build is testing fairly well, I'd just like the opportunity now to test against some of the more prevalent builds like Deaths Shadow and Scapeshift. Unfortunately I don't have a lot of that locally.

Ripping fat collected companies gives erections I haven't had since Standard Miracles.

Who the fuck is going to cheat on Cockatrice? You waste somebodies time and they leave. The only person you are cheating is yourself when you go to actual events and people don't get tricked by misrepresenting things.

I've been trying saheeli. It's not as powerful as twin once was but it's definitely got some game to it. Sun Titan is pretty nuts in the deck

>when you CoCo into Spell queller + Drogskol into topdeck drogskol
That CoCo roulette in that deck is just gas, I really should put it together in paper and bump some O.T Genasis

>>52024529
How's the extra birds? I like having two godhead but enabling t2 quellers more often seems dank
>>
>>52024553
An issue I was running into often is not having enough mana early enough. The build is a bird up from proven builds, because of preference. Replacing a godhead. Steel of the Godhead is a excellent card to draw into but I never want it in an opening hand.

Numbers having already been crunched on the 2 vs 1 argument, statistically speaking having one less doesn't hurt that badly. It's a win more card that helps with racing or in weird spots, or can just be a random life saver.

The extra bird is there to get my stronger turn three plays live more often. A game that lets my mana dork live the first turn is a much stronger one for me than one without, naturally.

In an ideal playstate, I would turn one fetch and mana dork. Turn two Geist, turn three swing for 7. Turn four coco into gas, and we can be flexible from there on how we kill. In our worse case scenario, our opponent is killing the dork and the game is longer, which plays into your favor anyway, as you want the draws and land drops. Being able to hold up quellers faster is ideal also, as it makes being on the draw sting less.
>>
>>52024595
Lately taking account of the current meta, and the addition of more targeted removal, it might become fruitful to test Kira, Great Glass Spinner again as the one off. As Death Shadow having fatal push makes the matchup a lot harder. But I wont know of the necessity until I test it. Kira can be... awkward sometimes with other card choices like Phantasmal Image.

Which by the way, my biggest hard on is when I collected company into a phantasmal image that becomes a Spell Queller. That really gets my jimmies going and the salt a flowing.

Hey Modern friends. I have two questions, as a complete outsider to your format. (Primarily Limited, also Standard and Commander player here)

1) What kind of decks run Geist, and are they fun/good/affordable/etc.
2) Do you think Modern Masters 2017 is going to be worth a draft or two?
>>
>>52027045
bant spirits runs geist. if it's fun/good/affordable is entirely subjective. expensive dick ass mana base like every other 3 color deck in modern, rest of the deck is moderately cheap.

http://mtgtop8.com/event?e=14446&d=286502&f=MO
>>
>>52027329
I suppose 'fun' means 'is it playing the exact 3/4 cards in the exact same way every single game, or is there some interaction/playing around the opponent from time to time'.

Good is 'can it stand up in the meta'.

Affordable I just threw in because I'm technically on a somewhat limited budget.
>>
>>52027329
Also that decklist looks pretty dope.
>>
>>52027350
well, like all competitive decks it has some repetitive elements, from what I've seen in person the collected roulette can be a pretty fun part of the deck. shit like spell queller and rattlechains let you react with and counter-play your opponent while giving you impressive tempo swings

AFAIK it still gets shit on by tron but such is the fate of decks that want to cast 3 drops.
>>
>>52024274
what are you talking about dude
>>
>>52027350
If you want an interactive deck, why are you basing your selection on whether it plays Geist, an uninteractive, inefficient creature?

Nearly every deck is linear as fuck in modern. what you're looking for are t2 or t3 decks like 4cGifts.These interactive decks can compete, but the potential for mistakes is huge, so most people don't play them.
>>
>>52027425
It wasn't so much a selection as it was curiosity. The theme of the thread is Geist, so I figured I'd ask about Geist. I'm honestly pretty new to contstructed to begin with, my Standard deck is a wonky shitbrew that's constantly being modified as I run smack into new cards that blow me out.

Garbage gifts. It's fun

>>52028143
Pretty much any deck that has removal > his infect creatures. Normal lists run 4 glistener elf, 4 blighted agent and 4- 6 mana dorks (noble hierarch and bird of paradise). Although, they also run counter spells and can ruin your day. If you want to be really cheeky, bring Volcanic Fallout and Exquisite Firecraft.
>>
>>52028368

>>52028472
Jeskai comes with path, lighning bolt, mainboard lightning helix, and snap
all mainboard, it's a slog to try and get through all this fire
>>
>>52028472
>really cheeky

Play Jund Super Removal control. Bolt, Terminate, Fatal Push, Abrupt Decay, Exquisite Firecraft, Thoughtsieze, Inquisition. Throw in no more than 6 late game wincons (Tasigur and Kalitas is a good choice) a few ways to refill your hand, something like Grim Lavamancer.

Basically, remove everything and rev for 15.

If you're going to use that logic then literally every deck is linear.

Sure, there are games where you just find the combo turn 3 when they're tapped out. But there are games in Jund where you just have a removal for their 1 thing and beat down with value creatures.

If you've ever played the deck, you'd see that there's a lot of times where you need to go extremely non-linear and chord for a Voice/Tracker or a Scooze or hand disruption creatures.

Right faggots I've got 3 super spicy brews lined up and only want to spend money building one, so you faggots get to pick which I build.

>Loam Control
Molten Vortex + Life from the Loam to control the board and slowly win through burn, counterspells to handle everything else. Plays a bit like Twin, but instead of going infinite it reaches a point of being insurmountable. Has a phenomenal matchup versus small creature aggro decks like Merfolk, Affinity, and Infect. Deals with Eldrazi fairly handily too.

>Gravestorm
Abzan weenies who die well with Blood Artist effects. Capable of comboing off as early as turn 4, but can also just win through face beats. Chord gives you toolbox, Return to the Ranks is just gross honestly. Incredible matchup against traditional aggro as the lifegain really does add up. Orzhov Charm is an allstar here. Deck runs an Abzan Ascendancy.

>Self Mill
UG aggro deck using Boneyard Wurm and Ghoultree as the main face beaters, surrounded by a shell of Snapcasters, cheap counterspells, and creatures with cycling to fill the yard. Splashes black to be able to cast Architects of Will and lock someone out of the game long enough with bad draws to push damage though. Vedalken Aethermage is the most supreme spice you'll read today for something like this.

I played pod in standard and modern as long as it was legal. The ban is fair. It was stupid good when it was banned and it was gonna get even stupider as time went by. I miss the deck, but it was fucking stupidly good.

Different anon here: id do it.

>>52035575
I would reccomend just buying a bunch of copies, you'll be able to buy the entire deck for the money you would make if you bought 50 of them for 4 dollars and they went up to 30 which I 100% believe they would and that's being conservative. So essentially you're just putting a 200 dollar deposit down on the deck, and if it ever became a deck then you're fucking golden and can buy it easily With the money you'd make off eBay
>>
>>52035575
Don't listen to the twincucks, that deck is never coming back and they know it.

Would say that any deck which normally doesn't have decision making in game plan. That includes every hyperaggro, burn, combo decks, tron. There are of course exceptions for each decks, but technically they always don't care about interacting with opponent.

>>
>>52036355
So are you saying that midrange is the only nonlinear archetype? Or only control is nonlinear?

Every deck has decision making and every deck has options of interaction. The only decks that don't are legacy combo decks and hypercombos like Grishoalbrand, Cheerios and Infect.

Every other deck needs to interact or respond to interaction in different ways. The fact that you can boil down any 'linear' decks to "they have a wincon in mind and continue down that path" is the definition of trying to win the game.

Why are you arguing against decks that look to win in more ways than countering, destroying permanents and swinging with big, dumb beaters?

I know this cunts shitpost in order to "trigger", but this is just boring, it's "banana-tier" in /b/'s YLYL threads.

Oh gee, we are talking about vintage level? I think monastery mentor and young pyromancer should be banned, because as you can see they are clearly overpowered and vintage proves it.

What about ravager and walking ballista? Jesus they are so broken, how can they still be legal? I think it would be only fair to ban them.

I mean I get it. Fast mana is issue, because it makes some volatile decks win earlier than they "should", but could we underline bigger issue here that has something to do with not being able to play a deck that polices degenerate combos and instead forces us to play either discard deck or decks that hopefully win before combo.

I play quite a bit of grishoalbrand and I'm thinking he might be cheating man. Shuffle his deck and look for marked cards. The more common kill turn is 3-4+ with t1/2 occasionally.

I'm fairly confident he's cheating unless you're just exaggerating
>>
>>52036465
I view any card that tries to hinder opponent gameplan as a control card. Midrange decks in modern utilize mostly discards or removal. As in every jund/junk variation and Grixis control, delver being an oddball. You could argue tron has a lot of decision trees, but it really does feel like playing the same thing against every deck.

Hyperaggros just vomit their hands on table and hope to win. Sometimes they have occasional removal like dismember/bolt/galvanic blast to supplement, but it's the same shit every time. Your decision tree consist of what's correct attack order.

Dare you tell me how combos are going to play their deck differently between matches? I get you are trying to protect the combo, but most of the time rest of the deck is build around to get the combo off, is that not linear?

Not trying to belittle modern decision making, but it's really, really limited.

I'd reccomend you all start with pauper. It's really cheap and has some high power cards and the decision making and stuff is there. Also I should mention it's really cheap, like you could build 20 pauper decks for a single pricey standard one. Maybe ban delver cause it's kind of op in my opinion. But for real start with pauper before shoveling money into modern or even standard.

>>52036777
Start with standard.

Modern is expensive.
>>
>>52036837
Standard is fucking garbage right now, start with pauper
>>
>>52036857
No one fucking plays pauper you massive faggot. He said they were going to play at FNM.
>>
>>52036877
He's not going to play at fnm you illiterate kike, he said his friends are going to get together on Friday and play. You wouldn't understand cause you don't have friends clearly.
>>
Hey its cool! I'll check pauper out.

So Would you advise against modern then? I mean we don't necesarily want top meta decks right now. Mostly to draft and play while we git gud and learn the ropes
>>
>>52036905
This is true.
>>
>>52036933
Even like a budget modern deck can run like 100 dollars. I'd say start out with pauper, find a play style you enjoy, and then ease into standard or modern
>>
>>52036933
Not that anon, but modern, while not the most beginner friendly, does give the best bang for your buck. Drop $200-$500 on a deck and you can use it for years, standard will drain you.
>>
>>52036933
If you're just learning the ropes, then the pauper format, or a set of intro decks or duel decks is probably good.

If you're committing to modern, you're going to be spending a few hundred to over a thousand dollars to be competitive. You wanna be sure you know what you're doing and that you really like the hobby before sinking any significant amount of money into it.

God damn that was insane.

Hey what about those 20$ sets magic sells which are like a box of cards with some decks in it?
>>
>>52037074
Those decks are just really bad though, in all formats. They got it right with the tokens modern event deck, and then never made a playable deck again

>tfw Twin will soon be free
>tfw Wizards will have to admit that they were idiots to ban it

>>
>>52037074
None of them are any good against a halfway competitive deck.
They're okay if you just want to learn the basic rules.

A decent pauper deck can be made for less money.
Deckbuilding is also a significant part of the hobby, which prebuilt decks completely bypass.
>>
>>52037074
just play pauper or magic duels to get antiquated with the game. Modern isn't the format for you unless you have a lot of experience with other card games.

Avoid standard at any costs it's a money sink designed to milk you
>>
>>52036050
Oops
>>
>>52037097
>>52037148

If deckbuilding is important should I go ahead and buy a lot of cards or should I just spend a bit in booster packs ? Any places online good for card aquisition. Even if its for pauper ruleset?
>>
>>52036777
Modern is the best, but if you dont have any cards will be a steep sell to your friends. Start with dual decks - theyre 2 preconstructed decks that are reasonably balanced. Then build a standard deck and take it to your local flgs to battle it out.

Dont buy boosters, just buy singles.

Use resources like mtg goldfish to check out competitive decks.

Try to build a deck that uses a lot of cards that are also used in Modern - eldrazi, spirits, graveyard synergies (to play dredge) etc. Pick up modern staples that are currently in standard as it is when theyll be in their greatest supply.

When standard rotation coomes around, shift in to Modern and enjoy being able to play your deck without having to shell out 300 every 6 months to keep up with the meta
>>
>>52035815
Sweet! Thank you for reminding me that card exists.

Why would you rather go with the spell than a permanent? Just curious; I tend to prefer my effects have bodies.
>>
>>52036933
Modern is the best. Work towards it as a goal. Start with precon intro decks, then draft, then standars, then modern
>>
>>52037206
Yeah tcgplayer is best for pauper stuff, and eBay for more expensive. To start out try a mono colored deck with just some creatures and spells, all commons, a good place to look up cards is gatherer.wizards.com
>>
>>52037123
Was only banned for the modern pt, which no longer exists
>>
>>52037228
>Modern is the best.
Why must you lie to yourself, friend? Legacy is best.
>>
>>52037228
>modern is the best
That's a funny way to say holiday cube
>>
>>52036679
How can you compare with something that doesnt work in that situation?

Lets do this instead:
>Is Mox Opal good in Vintage?
No, isn't used, so it doesn't belong in Vintage.

>Is Mox Opal good in Legacy?
It's user but it's underwhelming. The only Deck that uses is, Affinity, is tier 2.5. So it doesn't belong in Legacy.

>Is Mox Opal good in Modern?
Yes, it's used in a Deck (the oldest) that's been popular since the star of the format.
So it belongs in Modern.

other representation:

p(Mox Opal | Vintage) = 0 => Mox Opal ⊄ Vintage

p(Mox Opal | Legacy) << 0.01 -> 0 => Mox Opal ⊄ Legacy

p(Mox Opal | Modern) > 0.05 => Mox Opal ⊂ Modern

So I don't understand when someone says it's Vintage Level, considering it's barely Legacy level.
>>
>>52037286
What's the difference between Affinity and MUD?
>>
>>52037334
What Mud? Legacy Mud? Or as I like to call it bad Eldrazi?
>>
>>52036148
>wrong.
Yeah! It's an unfun and bad format for often completely unrelated reasons!
>>
>>52037334
I don't know, tell me what's the difference.

Mud? Which one? Metalworker combo is cool, but tier 2/3
>>
>>52037401
I personally don't want modern to be legacy lite, but I also don't want it to be dominated by Aggro decks I think the format would be a lot better with more of a balance, but as it stands it's more than 50% aggro, with pretty much only 2 real combo decks between valakut and ad nauseum. I just don't understand why wizards is fine with turn 3 wins as long as they're coming from aggro and not combo, it makes no sense to me.
>>
>>52037482
It was. Turning Tora into a 24/24 on turn 4 is a hell of a thing to see.
>>
>>52037501
It's easier to deal with creatures than spells/activated abilities, in modern. That's their explanation.
>>
>>52037520

Wait, what on earth did they pitch from their hand that had a 24 mana casting cost?
>>
>>52037501
serious talk if modern wants to not have combo decks than that's fine, but banning fast mana is the most retarded way of going about it. Pauper is an alright format and it didn't ban combo decks by banning its fast mana it banned the actual combo cards. In modern you're for some reason allowed to play a deck that wins with 0 interesting plays or interaction, but only once you've played for 4 turns. It's bizarre. Fast mana makes card advantage better, which makes control better. Bombs make card advantage irrelevant, which turns control into midrange.
>>
>>52037567
Or 2 12 mana, but still
>>
>>52037560
It's almost like wizards is too retarded to think up a half decent counter spell

>I just don't understand why wizards is fine with turn 3 wins as long as they're coming from aggro and not combo, it makes no sense to me.
Because you can actually interact with aggro in modern? I'm not saying combo shouldn't be allowed to exist but having combo consistently win before t4 is problematic because modern has less interaction for that sort of thing compared to something like legacy.

Also valakut decks have more than 1 way to build them and you forgot grishoalbrand, storm, bloomless titan and living end for combo. These might not be tier 1 but they've all put up results. I also think you're exaggerating aggro in the format right now, we have a pretty diverse meta right now so I don't get why you're complaining.

Jesus christ. Well I have to give it to the homebrew deck, I'd love to see it in action. I have a soft spot for Kamigawa cards.

Walk me through this one. Because as I understand it, it should just become a 12/12 once. That power doesn't stack.
>>
>>52037788
Yeah you're correct, it would just be a 12/12, I read it wrong
>>
>>52037810
I mean, don't get me wrong, that's still going to ruin someone's day on turn four. Just a little less cataclysmic.
>>
>>52037669
jeez kamigawa was objectively less anime than mirrodin or ravnica which were the blocks before and after it, but because it was japanese it didn't matter if its plot/atmosphere was literally an american anti war movie?
>>

Never gonna happen, sadly. MaRo hates Storm with every fiber of his being.
