I for one welcome our new DSJ overlords

Playing?

Hating?

Opinion on the current meta? Do you expect any meta shifts?

How do you feel about Modern as a format right now?

Favorite fringe deck in Modern?

What do you think X needs to be more viable?

Most retarded cry for a ban you've seen?

How much do you Rev for?

Learning DSJ, playing affinity and random eldrazi builds

Land destruction I guess? Nothing really
>Opinion on the current meta? Do you expect any meta shifts?
Decent to good. I can see DS getting hit but I really hope it doesn't
>How do you feel about Modern as a format right now?
It's been dull for a while but DSJ is pretty fun. Better than when it was just infect/dredge/burn at least
>Favorite fringe deck in Modern?
Weird color eldrazi builds. Sultai and Mardu come to mind
>What do you think X needs to be more viable?
I'd like to see some kind of interesting storm/combo deck, something built around cards like paradox engine or something.

>Playing?
Bant Eldrazi and G/B Tron.
>Hating?
I don't really hate anything; if someones deck shits all over mine, well, that's just how it goes.
>Opinion on the current meta? Do you expect any meta shifts?
It's okay. I expect DSJ to pick up more steam for about a month, and then fall off from there as people figure out how to hate it out.
>How do you feel about Modern as a format right now?
It's pretty decent, I dig the diversity of decks. Most events I attend I can sit down and never play vs the same deck twice.
>What do you think X needs to be more viable?
I wish there was a good Kiln Fiend deck in the format, I love that shit in pauper.
>Most retarded cry for a ban you've seen?
"Mox Opal is Vintage level broken"
>How much do you Rev for?
None. I've never played a control deck.

>>52346119

Been on DSJ for a while now. It's a great deck and it puts up a ton of results.
>Hating?
The annoying and obnoxious faggots at my lgs
>Opinion on the current meta? Do you expect any meta shifts?
I think it's fine. No one deck is overly dominant. DSJ doesn't even go over 10% of the meta. I expect another ban with all the bitching, and if that happens, I'll play regular Jund again
>Favorite fringe deck in Modern?
I love those free wins against Kari Zev's Expertise and Cherri0s
>Most retarded cry for a ban you've seen?
Anything out of Death's Shadow
>How much do you Rev for?
Fifteen and a half.
>>
>>52346177
U/B Thopter/Sword with Whir of Invention + Pentad Prism and a bunch of 1-of hate artifacts like Pithing Needle, Ensnaring Bridge, Nihil Spellbomb, etc.

Best control deck in the format.

>Hating?
Eldrazi Tron cause I can't deal with tks AND chalice
>Opinion on the current meta? Do you expect any meta shifts?
I expect DSJ to take less of the meta and I expect dredge to come back a little. I also expect some meme deck to come out of amonkhet and steal a bit of the already edge combo meta.
>How do you feel about Modern as a format right now?
It's not bad. It could slow down.
>Favorite fringe deck in Modern?
>What do you think X needs to be more viable?
I think there should be a U instant, draw 2 shuffle 1 from your hand into your deck.
>Most retarded cry for a ban you've seen?
SSG cause the decks the ban hits are already edge cases
>How much do you Rev for?
4, and hope I draw into another rev so I can remand their play and rev for 3 next turn

I could see Dredge getting a decent Aftermath card, assuming they push the mechanic.

The only time WotC pushes a mechanic is when they forget Modern exists.
I wish they'd remembered fetches when they introduced Revolt.

I maintain it would have been more interesting if it only reliably hit 2-drops.
There's printing a powerful card, and there's printing a card that changes certain aspects of play, but not all aspects.
I favor the latter.
Opening the door to impactful 3-drops would have added angles of consideration for decks. Trying to build around Push is pointless. Only Tasigur really dodges it.

>>
>>52346814
I'm okay with it. The unbalanced visual weight makes me want to lay it down "tapped", which clearly indicates the aftermath effect is the part occurring.
Much better than the first few attempts at split or double cards.
still feels like a gimmick through. "Choose" effects are much better printing, and flashback is evidence a simple graveyard-based clause is fine

Sure. A box of singles you pick out yourself.

No.
Buying boxes is a speculator's game. If you're after certain cards, buy them. Cracking packs from "value sets" might result in profit at a large enough scale, but it is still no guarantee of any specific rares.

The only other reason to buy boxes is if you want a cube and want more consistant filling than a $100 junk box from who knows what sets.

this deck is over 600 bucks for the most bare-bones build
and the extra bells and whistles (which you kinda want) like blood moon, explosives, pact of negation, emrakul add up. not to mention it's not the easiest deck to play
grishoalbrand is a really good time but i wouldn't recommend it to someone looking for something cheap and simple to get back into magic

Do you guys think a Restricted list for Standard would work? That way people wouldnt feel as bad about getting a card Restricted as they could still play at least one? Same question for Modern too I guess.

Doesn't control use liliana?
>>
>>52351224
>I drew my sol ring and you didn't! Don't you love increased variance
>>
>>52351257
No, control wants card advantage and Liliana strips your hand too. Liliana is best in a midrange strategy where you are hoping to topdeck grind out your opponent.
>>
>>52351333
I find the increased variance more fun. You get to run these very powerful cards but only as one ofs. Your strategy benefits off the cards but you arent forced into a specific shell due to them.
>>
>>52351224
It adds variance to the format and that's never a good thing. Oh my opponent drew his one of and pulled some bullshit that sure feels great. Couple that with the fact that there's no real reason to restrict stuff outside of vintage and you have an answer as to why wizards doesn't do it.

Go play vintage and tell me how you feel about a turn 1 lodestone golem that involves two one ofs feels or when paradoxical storm has the nuts etc

It's alright, one of the best moments to start in Modern. DSJ might drop a bit but it's still a very good Deck.
>>How do you feel about Modern as a format right now?
It's at it's peek since a long time. Some interesting (although Meme) decks are appearing, diversing the meta. The "death" of Dredge and Infect ended up helping a lot.

Any Control Deck besides Lantern.
>>Most retarded cry for a ban you've seen?
Got 2:
>"Mox Opal is a Vintage level card"
>"We should ban fast mana so Combo dies"
Regarding the Mox Opals, since I own them, the problem wouldn't be the financial value that would be lost, but the high probability that would kill one of the most fun Decks I tried (and I tried many). Specially considering the plays around it don't feel that powerfull when there are Decks with amazing strong (cheap) creatures with very little drawbacks. We don't need Modern as a "Stronger Extended" but a "Lite Legacy". We shouldn't remove the hability of allow "fun" Decks.
>>How much do you Rev for?
0 because I'm a plewb and never used it.

>>52353348
Don't do it. Bump in the Night and Rift Bolt are more or less comparable and you have to factor in the additional life loss from blood crypt. If you were doing RBx Burn, then sure, but 4c Burn is never a good idea. I've played Burn for a long time, and tried out all flavors of the deck. The added conaistancy (which is a very small amount) is outweighed by the loss of life and/or inconsistency of your mana base.

Anyone see Franky playing that KCI memedeck?

I think the loops are real, are a solid core could be made for the deck with a bit more testing, kinda like Sneks without the traverses.

The Ugins Sactum gimmick I actually really like, the thing that sucks is the whole Battlespheres being really shitty. The Emrakul wincon, and fetching it with sanctum, is the 'easiest way out', but emrakul is a terrible card in hand too.

The first thing is that Hangarback Walker does the same thing as Battlesphere for Sanctum, while being much more castable, nets extra mana with KCI when x=1, and also counts as a 0cmc for Trawler.

Been thinking of ways to make the finisher a combokill instead of Emrakul too, maybe with Retreivers and a Ballista or something.

tl;dr Trawler KCI is sweet, the 3 card wincon package could be better.

Chrome sphere also seems subpar, and the Mishras playset seem hamfisted (considering opal and hangarback are redundant 0cmcs), although it does add extra 0cmc slots at a low opportunity cost so it's probably not bad to have some baubles

The retrievers on paper look real too. Instead of fetching up an emrakul, you can use the retriever loop to trawl back opals infinitely, make a bigass hangarback/ballista, draw the whole deck, etc.
I think using the cute sanctum tech to get a combo loop is more in spirit with the deck too than hardcasting Emrakul

We drafted MM17 in my store for 18 canadian dolars with no prize support,pretty chill, I opened a foil Resto Angel.

After the draft we realized the biggest value card was the resto angel. We were kinda happy we drafted this box because if someone bought it it would had been so sad.

Walking Ballista can win you games, the moment you play it, you can start killing stuff with (specially with Basilisk Collar). It is basically a Ulamog 2.0 that you can play early and pump later while controlling the board.
I find Ugin lacking, he doesn't help very much against Decks like Affinity or Eldrazis. When you already have All is Dust, which you can play much earlier, he doesn't seems as appealing. If you Meta has a lot of graveyard based creatures (Dredge), then yes, he will win you games. But he still is a 8 MANA which means 3rd turn in best case scenario (if you played mindstone), which can be hard to survive.

draft is the best format

there is an element of RNG but there are so many layers of RNG (pulling X card out of a pack, do I get my lands, do I get my colors, do I draw it, does he have an answer, etc) that it basically boils down to skill and card selection eventually

If you can consistently win draft (it's possible) and understand why, you're a good player

You also get to use almost everything in the pack, it's the only format "draft chaff" matters and the only format you'll see something like Serra Angel actually feel powerful.

Draft is the best format, and there are probably best blocks/packs to draft but draft on the whole is the best

Modern = Commander in terms of how good. Constructed you get to play with cards you like and win how you want, but the cost of entry is crazy and people can basically turn up their power levels on a gradient by spending more money. With commander you get high variance high impact which is fun but it gets really spiky and degenerate at high levels which gets away from the high variance spirit of the format. Modern only gets so spiky once you hit tiers and that's it, the "spirit" of the format is to beat or play the tier decks, so construction is still fun. But draft does away with a lot of the "auto lose" that you get in modern and no cookie cutter lists makes your deck building and card analysis skills more important.

Draft is the best format

I think the people speculating that Push is just a meme and will leave the meta soon are wrong, Push will probably stay around for awhile. I also think that Disallow may begin seeing play in modern control, at least I hope so. Cryptic is probably still better but I think Disallow could have a lot of interesting interactions in Modern.

Mox Opal. It's literally played only in affinity and I think a deck like affinity keeps the format healthy.

Anyone have any thoughts on running pic related in the sb of Bant Spirits? I'm not sure if a Fog effect is any good in the meta rn.

Martyr Proc needs a better way to deal with combo. Even a way to deal with tron would do. The match up is 99-1, it's impossible.

>>52360424
You're probably right, the other people I've asked say False Hope is a little too cute. There's better things I can run in the sb for aggro match-ups I suppose.

>>52360451
White already has one of the best removal cards in the format, against Tron I feel like as of right now all Martyr Proc can do is side in Surgical and Dismember and run Ghost Quarter in the main for the land destruction. Against a combo deck like Valakut though it definitely gets btfo.

>>52360353
Limited is cool. I liked SOI and EMN a lot more than the Kaladesh block but I just haven't really grasped how to draft around Energy. I was super good with Investigate in Shadows block but Energy counters is a whole different mechanic.

>>52360555
There's not a single use for dismember against tron. GQ + surgical does little, martyr proc does not kill fast, they'll hardcast their threats. I'm hoping for an anti-planeswalker card one day, like stony silence but for planeswalkers, but that seems unlikely.

You're right I was thinking of Eldrazi tron but dismember wouldnt help against regular tron. I'm really hoping for some Planeswalker hate cards some day too. Hero's Downfall, Ruinous Path, and To the Slaughter are all pretty underwhelming and restricted to black. There's some destroy target permanent cards but those are also pretty expensive.

Pithing needle is fine at dealing with one planeswalker, but the one I most want to hit is ugin which means I need to deal with karn, Ostone and ulamog removing the needle. Honestly I just need pithing needle with hexproof.

Play KCI, slam down Trawler, recycle a bunch of tin cans until you can make a lethal Ballista; ideally with a 2 Retriever loop (or 2 Trawler 1 Retreiver) to make infinite mana and draw the whole deck, using sanctum to tutor for whatever missing combo piece.

I've been liking Ballista over Emrakul, although I've yet to face a maindeck Leyline of Sanctity.

>Antiquities/Chronicles (1 of each h version)

Quite often my opponents are so confused that they have to ask whether my Tron is online or not because i'm playing 1 of each different art.
>>
>>52361497

I think the matter is how imbalanced they are for a draft.

Do they print them at common and have possibly multiple sets of tron going around? Do they print them at uncommon and have it be an oddity if anyone even gets full tron at all? Do they print it at rare and cheese people off?

Honestly I feel like tron should be a draftable archetype but I feel they probably did fairly extensive testing on it to determine that for some reason or another it was unhealthy for the format.

Having tron means they need land support, land interaction (less fun) and draft level tron payoffs that get passed by anyone else. Just seems to me that they didn't wanna give MM any **really** meaningful draftable lands.

Etc.

Reminder that you never use Ghost Quarter to hit Urza's Tower against Tron. Always hit the mine or power plant. Without the mine there can be no raw materials to power the Power Plant which keeps Urza's Tower functioning. Disrupting the power plant will also break the chain of production.
>>
>>52361873
Seconding this, always Seas the means of production.
>>
>>52361873
Isn't the reasoning for not hitting tower that to search for the other tron piece they have to tap tower + mine/plant and that would leave them with less mana when they assemble tron?

>>52361963

It's a joke but yes that is one of the factors. The main factor is that more often than not Tron players like to hold back Tower pieces knowing that you will prioritize the Tower with GQ and then play a fresh new Tower on subsequent turns.

Thinking of breaking into the format here, I've barely played constructed apart from casual EDH. Are T2+ decks worth playing? I'm sure it depends on the meta, but I don't want to be totally blown out by anyone playing T1. I like the look of Dredge.
>>
>>52362157
Just play BW tokens, family.
>>
>>52362157
the T2 decks are fine. there will be games where you just get stomped by DSJ or affinity that will leave you rump roasted but the majority of the time you'll be fine and have fun. dredge is still pretty good too.
>>
>>52362157

>are t2 decks worth playing

Absolutely. Tier is only determined by popularity/meta share and lets you have a chance to prepare for what seem to be likely opponents. Tier 2 and below decks are definitely worth playing, but there *is* a correlation for strength with tier. So if you're playing a tier 3 deck and everyone else is playing tier 1, you might not win, because the best decks are often popular *because* they're strong. If you're playing a tier 3 deck with stony silence you can still beat tron, affinity, and lantern depending on the draws.

Basically, look at what is succeeding (anything tier is succeeding, regardless of tier), play what you want to play, and prepare more for your metagame than anything else.
>>
>>52362157

>Are T2+ decks worth playing?

If you put in the time and reps with the deck, absolutely. For example Ad Nauseam is a Tier 2 deck but the deck is very solid and combos out frequently and top8's and has even won a GP. Knowing how to play AN against a deck that is wanting to go super fast and kill you before you combo like say Affinity or a bad matchup like Infect is another thing entirely. If you're unfamiliar with the format I would suggest a tier 1 deck or a good solid deck that has fairly even matchups like Jund or Bant Eldrazi to get a familiarity of the format and exposure to other matchups. But with everything, hop onto something like Cockatrice or Xmage and try out a list and see if you like a deck first.
>>
>>52362206

What I'm getting at is if you play Ponza to try and prep for tron/eldrazi's sol lands, you might beat the tier 1 tron deck but lose to the rev for 15 meme when your 3/4 cost spells get remanded.

>Inb4 ponza doesn't beat tron
I'm just making a point. Change it with "play burn to beat tron and lose to t2/3 soul sisters"

What's strong all depends on what other people are playing around you.
>>
>>52362175
>>52362206
>>52362210
Awesome, thanks. I'll try a few out on XMage - I was thinking of Ad Nauseam too, actually. Are there any decks that are just plain unfun to play against? Because I want to avoid those.
>>
>>52362390

>Are there any decks that are just plain unfun to play against?

Who cares, it's Modern. There's always a deck that is going to be unfun to play against just because it's a bad matchup for your deck or your opponent's deck.
>>
>>52362422
Fair enough
>>
>>52362455

Just play what YOU want to play.

To put it into perspective I like playing Elves but hate playing the matchup against Tron or Scapeshift because they're bad matchups. On the other hand I also play Ad Nauseam and they're good matchups for me to play against either of those decks.

Narnam Renegade. 1/2 Deathtouch normally or a 2/3 Deathtouch if a permanent left the field all for G. The 1/2 stat is actually pretty neat because you can use it to evolve an Experiment One if you played that as your first turn drop.

It's one less power but there are times when you can freely swing into a Goyf offering a trade but then they don't block and then BAM Vines of Vastwood slammed down. Or you can also have Rancor on it for a 3/2 deathtouch trampler.

A deck can't be "criminally outplayed" and have overall worse winrates than the top of the format. Amulet Bloom pre-2015 was underplayed, Troll-less Dredge is not.

>>
>>52366288
I didn't like Tasigur or Angler because they don't play too nicely with Snapcaster. I wanted to maximize 4 snaps. With the Delve creatures I only can realistically only play 2. Negate I can see moving to the side.

And I wanted to be cute by playing 4 lingering soul tokens with a flipped Curious humuculus for only 3 mana.

Is it worth it for a new player to play MTGO?

I have been interested in MTG for a while, I like the cards and gameplay, played Duels but it feels like it's too much of a freemium game that doesnt give me as many choices as the real game

I figure MTGO is the way to go right? Is it worth a new player who is still getting into it to invest in it? Is the community decent?
>>
>>52366211
>those mismatched basics and strands
You cannot be serious.
>>
>>52366344
Yes, MTGO is the way to go. The community is a bunch of try hards.
>>
>>52366197
You can't be serious. It is verifiable fact that urban areas voted for Hillary and trump won rural areas.
>>
>>52366211
imo, delver is the worst card in the deck. what if you cut them for thought scours and found room for tombstalker?
>>
>>52366211
No homunculus you goddamned retard
>>
>>52366327
>they don't play nicely with snapcaster
Which is why you run more fetchlands and the thoughtscours. You have a ton of choice in what to delve away and it hardly limits snapcaster. Also not having threats that die as easily as homonculus is a big plus

What are the best modern BUG sideboard cards?
>>
>>52366382
But anon, playing mismatched lands gives you the edge in psychological warfare because it titles a fair amount of the autistic manchildren that play magic. I run mismatched Urza's lands (I have lands from across 4 editions, 3+ artworks for each different land, they range in condition from NM to HP and one of my mines is in Japanese) for just this reason.
>>
>>52366556
Last I heard she was charging them about $80/hour.
>>
>>52366622
I always run a single white bordered land in every deck for this exact reason. It doesn't happen often but the look on someone's face when they thoughtseize into two plains, one full art the other some shit no name white border is priceless

Dude, do not, and I repeat, DO NOT waste your money on digital cardboard. Install XMage and play online for free. Literally any deck you want at any time of the day, and it's FREE. I will never understand why people continue to pay for MTGO.

Because everyone sucks and xmage is shitty

I suppose I was mostly wondering if the card pool from getting a box is good enough to justify it over singles. I plan on pooling cards with a few people other than myself.

They don't work senpai. Twin was only good, cause literally if they ever tapped out it could be GG. This meme requires 7 mana to go off on one turn, just let it go. #Freetwin though
>>
>>52367893
Twin was never good. It was outclassed by Pod, Burn, Affinity, and Jund every single time. It was just Blue faggots refusing to give it up.
>>
>>52367928
Just kill yourself you absolute moron
>>
>>52367268
New. Olivia is just garbage to look at.
>>
>>52367868

Because none of the pieces are any good on their own, and they sit in your hand for too long making you vulnerable to the formats widespread hand disruption. And on top of that the creature does not have haste so it needs to survive an untap, so the deck also folds to the formats widespread creature removal.

Twin was powerful because it curved from a 3 cost flash creature that doesn't die to bolt into a 4 cost enchantment, both of which had a degree of usability outside the combo to support the decks other wincon, which is tempo/damage.

Trust me anon I like meme combos too but unless your combo has like unlimited redundancy it won't work
>>
>>52367957
I'm right you dumbshit. It was only good against Tron. It's unfavorable against Azban, Jund, Pod, Burn. If it was today's meta, Death's Shadow, Eldrazi, Infect, Burn, Ad Nauseum can beat it.
>>
>>52368028
Yea it was banned for being bad lmao. The fact you think affinity beat it is hilarious. Just get out. Kaladesh your first set?

I swear I've seen someone do this in ancient Modern threads before on /tg/ on MODO.

I mean the event is huge, basically imagine your average GP meta, you can expect to face burn and jund and affinity plus a couple one-off decks

>semi-competitive
I believe so, but don't have a list off the top of my head. There's a guy at FNM who runs it and regularly goes 2-2 which should suit your needs.
The usual picks of Thalia's Lieutenant, Champion of the Parish, Launch the Fleet, Honor of the Pure, etc., I've seen Grand Abolisher and Apostle's Blessing for anti-removal, Thraben Inspector as a source of card draw.

There might be more, but I don't know it. The core of Lieutenant/Champion, and Fleet works well.

No Modern-eligible cards, or no cards at all?
If you're a new player, it also matters to know what your local kitchen table group is like, if you have one.

But, I might recommend 2015. The cards are more consistently usable. 2017 is split between pure gold, and absolute garbage.

Buying singles is a bad idea if you don't know what you're doing, because it gives you access to the coolest shit, without the knowledge to know how much of that is also unplayable shit.
It's overall the best option by far, but not if you're new to the format, or magic as a whole.
>>
>>52368666
>America

>>52367475
Buy the black white tokens modern even deck. Reasonably priced and is relatively competitive.
>>
>>52368342
As a skred aficionado I would highly advise against only running 2 relics. Also I have replaced my goblin rabblemasters with trinispheres in the sideboard, works amazingly against all the rabblemaster match-ups except for tron.
>>
>>52367596
Pooling is a good idea in theory, but in practice it doesn't work out well if you're trying to make coherent decks and it's your primary source of cards. It takes several boxes to get a playset of a rare and even more for a playset of a mythic, and most decks in the same colors want the same cards, meaning you need even more boxes.
