How do you guys feel about delirium?

What are the best ways to get delirium?

How do you feel about Embalm? Seems pretty sweet in my opinion, I hope they don't just make the creatures with it trash to make up for the what seems to be pretty decent ability.

Playing, hating, brewing, sideboarding, teching, memeing?

How do you guys feel about Wizards saying the format is becoming too much threat oriented and is gonna shift to answers?

Can there be a good counterspell that isn't just counterspell?

delirium is shit
Play death's Shadow which gets delirium but doesn't play any delirium cards

Don't know enough about embalm

Brewing my Tallowisp deck. And I think Undying with Eldritch Evolution has something going for it.
>>
>>52404473
Embalm seems fine as a mechanic. Don't see any deck in modern particularly benefiting from it (maybe dredge?) but it's just generally ok. Sam Stoddard's most recent standard article talks about powering up answers but still acts as if every answer needs to be super specific rather than just generally good so I doubt we'll actually see good answers anytime soon.

>>52404550
Embalm could be very powerful in midrange if there are good creature who have it, which there probably won't be any that will be powerful enough for Modern. It's an oppertunity for card advantage, seeing as the card would have to removed twice.

It's essentially just undying or persist that you pay for senpai
>>
>>52404634
Agreed, but there's quite a few mechanics like that and the majority still don't see play anyway. Undying sees no play, finks is the only persist that sees play and it doesn't cost mana to come back a 2nd time. Against removal they're good but when your opponent top decks goyf you've essentially got 2 chump blocks for quite a lot of mana. The ability to use embalm if you discard the card like lingering souls is the larger advantage in my opinion.

>>52404692
But those are great abilities, just neither yield to many great creatures. Really only Kitchen Finks comes to mind, but he is quite good. Embalm is only a bit worse seeing as you have to pay mana, but it dodges Graf Diggers cage which is useful, as well as can't be countered. The ability is strong, it's just needs to be included on powerful cards, which hopefully it will. For example, imagine a 4/4 vanilla for 2G with embalm for the cmc. That seems quite powerful, seeing as it's a decent sized threat that must be answered twice. Undying and Persist just lacked good creatures that had those abilities, or at least good enough for Modern anyway

It's more that it's a solid Undying option that could prevent Eldritch Evolution becoming an opponent's 1-3 with removal.

>It's more that it's a solid Undying option that could prevent Eldritch Evolution becoming an opponent's 1-3 with removal.

By removing the targeted creature you're trying to sac which fizzles the whole thing, shiiet. Right. And Geist's undying would allow you to at least retain a 3/2 instead of getting completely wiped.

>"new player, the deck"

But I am new. Also, it doesn't get old btfoing $500+ decks with a $80 one, especially when they thoughtseize/inquisition the shit out of me but all my cards are so mediocre it doesn't even matter and I still blow right through them.
>>
>>52405988
>By removing the targeted creature you're trying to sac which fizzles the whole thing, shiiet. Right.
That works for Polymorph, but EE's sack is part of the cost, it's already paid when you go to respond.
>>
Is Aristocrats any good?
>>
>>52405988
Other way around. The sacrifice is an additional cost. The sacrifice occurs before the spell is cast, and therefore before priority passes, so the spell can't fizzle by killing the sac target.
The issue is if the creature made by Eldritch Evolution gets hit by removal. At that point, a creature has been sac'd, EE is in exile, and a new creature has entered and gone to graveyard.

I'm tempted by EE, but I just don't think it's actually a good card. It's too vulnerable to interaction, so it's got to be used attempting something nasty if at all. It could power UGx (Sultai would be flavorful) by churning out a Simic Sky Swallower, and that includes options to protect against counterspells.

But that's not true. There's a lot of variance in magic, and player skill matchups are a real factor. Playing better decks increase your chances of winning, but you can and will win with tier 2 and 3 decks as well, especially if you're well versed in how to pilot it, as opposed to hopping on the flavor-of-the-month bandwagon every time some new meme deck takes the cake.

Delirium is okay in Abzan

And by that I mean I lke Grim Flayer in it. Other then that no other good delirium card has a home yet. Transverse is pretty powerful. Whispers is odd. It's a great effect obviously but until you can consistently pop it turn 2 with delirium on it'll just be forgotten.

Grim Flayer's a house though and I'm pretty gay for how cool his art is and BG in general

>How do you feel about delirium?
Love it. Sweet mechanic, adds a very cool puzzle minigame to a strategy. 4 cards seems like the perfect number to make it challenging but not impossible. One of the best mechanics ever.

>Best ways to get delirium?
If only they had the balls to make it cost 1 less Nyx Weaver would be a nice alternative to Dark Confidant for delirium variants of BGx
Gitaxian Probe was nice until it got banned the fuck out.
Self Mill like Thought Scour is generally the best way to unlock delirium. It got some support in Sultai colors during Shadows over Innistrad block but it still has some way to go. If enchantment creatures were evergreen like artifact creatures you'd have even more avenues for it too.
Maybe once frontier/Magic Origins-on becomes a format, where there's no Dark Confidant to steal the spotlight. (And assuming Nyx Weaver gets a standard reprint)

>How do you feel about Embalm? Seems sweet, plz no trash Wizards
Couldn't agree more. It's a sexier unearth though I like unearth too- is it still sorcery speed?

>Playing, hating, brewing etc
Simic ramp. So much value yet so much do-nothing. Slow as fuck. Sucks. Adapting.

>What are feels about Wiz shifting to answers?
Means good things for Sultai colors - since they are woefully in need of better answers. Green needs better fight cards, for one.
I think we shouldn't expect a Counterspell reprint but stuff like Undermine is more possible.

>Can there be a good counterspell that isn't just counterspell?
Yes. There is a gigantic gap between Cancel and Counterspell that begs to be filled with all kinds of mechanical perks/drawbacks and value trade-ofs. Would make for a healthier game than HURRDURR ALLPURPOSE TURN TWO ANSWER I'M GOOD AT THIS GAME GUYS.

Depends on many factors, but mostly, that they're cherry picking their surveys from stupid uninformed circlejerkers who don't purchase the product.
>>
>>52409240
A big factor is also that most of the hate for these sorts of things is based on overuse. They do a survey and there's 2 types of people, those who like it and those who currently don't care but will end up annoyed at overuse. So by their surveys they see everyone either loves or doesn't care if they shove jace in every set and they design years of cards and marketing to reflect that.
>>
>>52409256
That's actually a good point. I don't give the slightest fuck about the gatewatch, and I don't play standard. But I think that's fundamentally misrepresenting the issue, on wizard's side.

If the gatewatch was less... obtuse and was written by *good* writers, I bet a lot of people who avoid standard would jump in happily. But, much like containment boards, standard is designed to save normies from autists, modern is designed to save the wallets and so on.
>>
>>52409315
I mean the gatewatch doesn't just exist in writing. There's 3 Nissa's currently in standard and based on art work we've seen there's going to be 4. Shit like Gideon and banned emrakul are pushed because wizards wants people to care about the story, it's no surprise when all the story cards break the format that people get mad at the story itself.

Do you think the deck will get hit by the ban hammer? Is it really a tier 0 deck?
>>
>>52410429
The shift to more mid range decks mostly. Eldrazi tron, GBx, bant eldrazi, these decks don't have a large amount of reach in terms of direct damage or evasive threats and if your guys are just bigger than theirs they lose.
Some proto-decks of the original deck shadow aggro started seeing play when temur battle rage was printed.
>>
>>52410048
Hmm, I'm not that anon, but I believe the card in question, "mental misstep", is banned. Which in that case would make you the crying bitch nigger.
>>
>>52410462

They already indirectly banned a card from the deck by banning Gitaxian Probe. As a result you're actually see Death's Shadow lists run fewer copies of Temur Battle Rage and Become Immense.
>>
I wanna get into magic. Is there a half-decent deck I can play with cute cards for £25 bucks? With a focus on being able to build it into something tasty later?
>>
>>52410462

As to your other question not it's not really a tier 0 deck.

The deck is actually beatable by a number of other decks, it's not like Eldrazi Winter where you had 5 different flavour of Eldrazi decks and you were either playing that deck or trying to play a meta deck to beat it.
>>
>>52410500
The only thing budget that actually builds up into a tier 1 deck is mono red burn.

Best tier 3 decks that can actually win are, burn, bogles, green stompy and 8 whack, but again only burn can be built into a high end deck.

It's basically "when x attacks you can choose to y as well, if you do it doesn't untap during your next untap step".

There's an article up on dailymtg. Nothing amazingly juicy except that cycling and giant spider are back.
>>
>>52410500

Mono G Budget Elves is actually decent and builds into a good Tier 2 deck. Tempered Steel Affinity running the classic dudes like Frogmites and so forth will eventually build you up into the real Affinity deck.

I actually have both decks and play them infrequently enough. I much prefer to play Elves though because personally speaking Affinity does get stale after a while for me.
>>
>>52410579

I like the old art for Lingering Souls but that's just me because I just need to have the old art for everything, including basic lands. My basic lands need to have words on them or tap symbols. But that being said the MM3 art for Lingering Souls isn't bad, most of the art for MM3 is actually pretty solid. As for card stock quality i haven't noticed any difference.

>>52410747

It's still a reasonable deck against an aggro field but the list has sort of changed to go into Jeskai colours(UWR) with an additional chance of winning via a "splintertwin" combo with Saheeli Rai and Sun Titan/Felidar Guardian. You might think that the combo is a little cute except this "standard power level" combo showed up in a Modern GP in Brisbane and had a placing in top 32.

As for far below the meta it is most definitely far below the meta and forgotten about but that should not discourage you from playing the deck. Nobody knew what the fuck Skred or Ad Nauseam was for ages and now they're oddly enough relevant meta decks in tier 2 level.

You can actually still play the older U/W controlling lists there isn't anything really wrong with it just you have to put in a bit more work to get your wins. Proxy up a list online and play the deck out and get a good feel for it. If you like the play style and think you know the lines of play to beating other decks then sure build it up. Not like you can't switch around to Jeskai/Azorius builds when you felt like it anyway after a while. Modern is a format that really rewards a person that knows their deck and metagame very well.

For instance I personally play a crapload of Elves so with Eldrazi Tron decks and Walking Ballista around I've switched to playing with Mark of Asylums in the board that Eldrazi Tron have trouble dealing with, it has the double factor of also negating damage based sweepers like Pyroclasm and Anger of the Gods.

There's been a couple of U/W Emeria lists taking TCG player states tournaments in top 8 so the deck has potential.

There's no need to be mad and make such a ruckus out of it, poorfag. Burn, Affinity, Merfolk and basically any aggro deck also beat Tron and are miles better than Stompy each and everyone of them. Why do you think Stompy's price is always double digits and it never places well in any tournament although meme decks are always popping up?

What did he mean by this?

>>52413724
What's wrong with mic hyper mats? I like them myself
>>
>>52411902
Pretty sure it's the shroud sliver that is needed
>>
>>52413736
Newer runs of Hyper mattes are noticeably lower in quality than the old ones. I bought some a few months back and I had to replace at least one sleeve after every game. Switched to Dragon Shield Mattes after that and never looked back.

>Living End will never be good

This is true but the spoiler of Archfiend by itself
opens the door to a deadshot-less Living Moon build allowing for an easier inclusion of Faerie Macabre. It's an exciting time to be alive.
>>
>>52413872
I bought a shit load back in like 2014, still got like 20 decks worth of sleeves so I guess I'm okay, Dragon shield are great too though

Even Burn looks interesting compared to that.

slivers is already a deck, just add coco and vial

Thing is it folds to jund because it doesn't make card advantage until it gets to 4 mana and then the slivers you get will be pretty small, just hope for nuts manaweft vial draws

the deck only plays solitaire when you have early fulminators and your opponent kept a 1 lander or some shit.

Having to win via the combat step with vanilla 3/4s means there's an incredible number of ways for your opponent to interact and throw off your game plan.

I could bet my collection that you're a drooling Jundfag who thinks his deck takes any amount of skill and I'm sure I wouldn't lose it.

What does /tg/ think of Ponza + madcap emperion?
>>
>>52415631
Are you implying living end is difficult to play?
>>
>>52415718
a decent starter deck
loses horribly against things without greedy mana and decent speed

hopefully WotC won't be dumb and start printing cards for it
>>
>>52415315
I use Dragon Shield and for those the matte ones are definitely easier to shuffle.
>>
>>52415315

Matte sleeves just mean that cards are easier to see and read since you won't have glare.

Usually mattes have textured backs, which make them easier to shuffle since they don't tend to stick together as much as flat ones
>>
>>52415853

I wouldn't worry, they seem to like land destruction even less than counterspells
>>
>>52414933

Might help make delver a rea thing. I dig it.

>>52404473
Teach me how to Gruul Zoo, /tg/.
>>
>>52416025
Are you poor?
Play Naya.
>>
>>52416025
Step 1: Play Burning-Tree Emissary
Step 2: Reckless Bushwhacker
>>
>>52416055
I'm under the impression Gruul Zoo is better because White doesn't offer enough for the deck to justify the third color.

>>52416096
Das a good play, mayne.
>>
>>52416118
>White doesn't offer enough for the deck to justify the third color.
You need plains for Nacatl so you might as well pack some paths and maybe stony silences in your side.
>>
>>52416025
Step 1. Add Lightning Bolt.
Step 2. Add Wild Nacatl.
Step 3. Add Goblin Guide.
Step 4. Add Tarmogoyf.

I've got some bad news anon.

>>52415819
More than any flavor of GBx, yes. As is any deck in the format.

Is the following list good?

4 Kird Ape
4 Wild Nacatl
4 Loam Lion
4 Experiment One
4 Flinthoof Boar
4 Burning-Tree Emissary
4 Reckless Bushwhacker

4 Lightning Bolt
4 Rancor
4 Path to Exile

4 Stomping Ground
4 Temple Garden
4 Wooded Foothills
4 Windswept Heath
4 Arid Mesa
>>
>>52416946
Less temple gardens more sacred foundry imo. Also Atarka's Command is the bees knees in here
>>
>>52416946

looks pretty good anon
solid budget naya zoo imo

cut your paths and go straight aggro and play atarkas command, keep your limited and matchup specific hard removal in the sideboard imo
>>
>>52416946
Cut down couple of shocks for basics and more fetches.

I'd suggest this:

2 Stomping Ground
1 Temple Garden
1 Sacred Foundry
1 Mountain
1 Forest
1 Plains
4 Wooded Foothills
4 Windswept Heath
4 Arid Mesa
>>
>>52417002

Also imo cut loam lion and go narnam renegade

Makes your colors smoother, you never need t1 white, you're still cracking fetches for the trigger, deathtouch is often relevant, and it triggers experiment one on its own anyways
>>
>>52417042
>more fetches
>when he has max fetches in color

I'm retarded
>>
>It's possible to play lots of colours so my deck should run at least 3 n_n
I don't feel even the slightest remorse over the 4 Blood Moons I mainboard.
>>
>>52417129
>should run 3 colors

Nigger, who told you that?
>>
>>52417129
Ban 8th and 9th edition.
>>
>>52417176
And Mox opal and ssg.

Grizzly bear format here we come
>>
>>52417129
Blood moon is chemotherapy

It's fucking terrible for the format, but also necessary so it doesn't die of cancer
>>
>>52417631
>implying moon and bridge don't deserve a ban
You can't even """ justify""" bridge bring in the format. Its an unfair card that promotes uninteractive magic
>>
>>52417167
Every Burn player.

>Hey they printed Boros Charm, we should all run white now!
>Hey they printed Atarka's Command, we should all run green now!
>>
>>52417686
You forgot bump in the night.
Burn is a 4 color deck senpai
>>
>>52417662
I'll be glad when these Khan's midrange babbies grow the fuck up. Control, Prison, and Land Destruction are all valid strategies with their own strengths and weaknesses. I'm sorry you don't want to sideboard disenchant/naturalize.
>>
>>52417662

>Ensnaring Bridge
>banned
>in a format with hefty amounts of artifact/permanent removal

Not even kidding.

BONUS POINTS for being fucking ugly as sin.

Apparently also, chain lightning, consecrated sphinx, counterspell, counterbalance and wrath

I do like that they are gold. Wonder if they'll make all masterpiece cards gold going forward.

Also, is it just the lighting or does Cryptic Command kinda look white-blue?
