Can we find this little guy a home? I really like the art

>>53065413
I've had good success with him in my draft decks

For real though it's probably a better delver in those low spell count delver decks that probably shouldn't be playing delvers anyway.

>>53065413
perhaps a grixis pyromancer shell? sort of like grxis control but lower to the ground, playing 4 pyromancers, 4 of these, some black delve threats, etc. I don't know if it would be good but it seems fun

>>53064929
working on it, maybe you can help me

i dont see it in any color combo other than w/b to just shore up the fact that vehicles/creatures that work with vehicles (well) are subpar, so i can just use discard/push/path to make the deck from 'bad' to 'mediocre'

That's some spicy tech my dude. I've never realized you could do that before.

>>53065413
URx Delver/Control decks will like him right? Has any results come out? I like him too and I hope he goes far.

>>53066136
>>53066273
It sounds brilliant in theory but in practice they will draw their deck, bounce the needle and pop you anyway.

>>53066136
>>53066273
Won't that just shut down Lightning Storm for you too?

>>53065413
>>53066289
I helped a friend test him in a U/R Delver shell. The Drake is a very solid beater as long as you can protect him.

>>53066136
>>53066273
>This is the skill level of your average poster here

>>53065413
I'd like him in rug delver but I have enough threats that get gimped by yard hate.

>>53066497
To be fair, Lightning Storm is a card that exists in some pretty weird design space and Pithing Needle isn't a terribly common sideboard card.

>>53066303

What about running some kind of WR deck using depala and four drop Gideon for token spam to crew the vehicles. Honestly making a UWR artifact deck with some token making walkers doesn't seem like the worst route to take making vehicles. Plus it let's you use that improvise tutor in blue and mono blue tezz

>Pithing Needle isn't a terribly common sideboard card.
Since when? Just about any deck that eats dirt when facing down Karn runs it. Hell I've seen people use it against burn decks to prevent the burn player from fetching.
I honestly don't know why more decks don't run needle.

>>53067739
Okay buddy, take care now.

>>53067864
do you know that the rules about split cards are changed?
also, what's the upside in having breaking/entering in your LE build?

>>53067864
PV doesn't even play living end. This article is actually trash and only serves to try and sell cards.
You can instantly disregard anyone removing the land destruction plan from LE. Even TWoo. Sure he made the deck but he's more into cards that make friends with each other than competitive aspects. Much love, Travis here

>>53067808
I agree, almost every deck in legacy is packing 1-2 needles in their board and yet it is almost nonexistent in modern. It's a great card that belongs in every sideboard

>>53067830

>playing
Naya burn and grixis deaths shadow

> brewing
Currently working on a bw aristocrat deck with bone picker and the new black god but it's in a very beta stage.
>hating
Sun and moon. Not because it's annoying deck but because the guy who plays it where I play is awful. The place is super casual and small (the most we had was 15 and that's rare) so we all know each other well and are decent friends. In fact a lot of us go play commander after.
The guy who plays sun and moon takes advantage of everything. We usually give players the benefit of the doubt on things, don't check deck lists, and if someone makes a mistake like playing the wrong land or times the trigger wrong we usually let the, correct it. We also have a slightly mentally challenged guy that plays and it's an unwritten rule that he gets at least one win in the match. The sun and moon guy though preside boards, has a sideboard that's over 15 cards, and makes it so he has the perfect hand every time. The sideboard stuff he tries to hide by saying "oh I'm just making sure my sleeves are good" when he's actually putting in cards since he usually knows what everyone there plays. As for triggers if he Fucks one up he expects you to let him correct it but if you fuck up he won't give you the same courtesy. Like I played 8 rack against him and the rack deals damage at their upkeep. I forgot and mentioned it when he was drawing but he refused to take the damage since I didn't catch it right away even tho I let him correct 3 mistakes that match. He's never mulliganed but has had a leyline in opening hand every game. If you play burn he has leyline opening, chalice turn 2 and kor firewalker t3 every game without fail which shuts you down so you basically can't play. He doesn't let the autistic guy win and even makes fun of him. When the autistic guy beat him he basically slammed down his deck and stood in the corner until his next game.

>>53067830
That card is terrible. Play cryptic

>>53068376
Cont. We all hate him but his only friend therE is out only judge so the judge won't call him out on his shit. I'd go play somewhere else but I love everyone else there, the owner is cool, and it's really close. So now I build all decks with sun and moon hate in mind.

>spicy sideboard cards
For burn sideboard I put in ensnaring bridge and a lot of people think it's dumb but it has won me games that burn usually has a tough time against.
For grixis death shadow I have eidilon of the great revel in. It fucks up some decks and pumps up death's shadow

What is the deck you have had most fun playing, ever? Regardless of performance? I would like to pick up something fresh and fun, I am sick of constantly playing death's shadow. Assume cost is no issue.

>>53069102

>>53068789
The most fun I've ever had playing magic was playing Legacy Worldgorger at stupidly casual FNM, playing what wight as well have been kitchen table.
Modern specifically, I would say Burn, hands down. Slamming Bolts all day long gives me a raging erection.
Recently I've been playing GB Tron with a playset of inquisitions and extractions. Its loads of fun.
I'm thinking about building Skred so I can slam stormbreath dragons like I'm playing Theros standard.

>>53069246
Didn't see that coming

>>53068789
My favorite deck I ran was actually one I ran by mistake. I was playing grixis deliver and wanted to put a card from my commander deck in. I think it was languish but I was in a hurry and accidentally grabbed nicol bolas the planeswalker in. I didn't realize it until I pulled him mid game. It was a grinds game and I actually was able to play him. Luckily it was a game against my friend who knew my deck and we started cracking up when he realized what happened. Ended up playing him 4 times that night and even got his ultimate off once and tied for first place.

>>53068389

I don't think it's terrible, seems good with snapcaster

I thought they hated those 2 decks? What is their goal?

>>53070595
Instead of attempting to ban out decks, instead manipulate how the deck operates to make it acceptable?

GGT was clearly a crutch, unbanned for the purpose of making Dredge exist. Then they took the crutch away when they thought the deck was strong enough to exist without it.

>>53070566

Then Magic really is dead.

I say the same thing about Naturalize in Standard.

If at any point Naturalize is not a playable sideboard card in Standard, someone has utterly fucked up.

It's actually even worse than that. Wrath of God (Fumigate) isn't even playable. Think on that.

What other Modern staples should I grab? I've got paths, bolts, and pushes so far.

>>53071383
Buy deck pieces for a deck you want. Hoarding staples is a fucking retarded thing to do.

What's the use of having a billion staples when you don't have a deck.

>>53071383
Birthing Pod, Stone Forge Mystic and Splinter Twin

>>53071383
Lands.

Get Allied shocks and pains at least. If you can't afford allied fetches you shouldn't be playing modern.
Enemy colors are far more expensive. I personally do not begrudge Abzan players who use a full playset of Godless Shrines and Windswept Hearths and skimp on Verdant Catacombs.
The MM3 reprints only took the edge off.

>>53071383

Khans fetches before they go up more

>>53071424
If a guy is still buying staples, he probably doesn't know what deck he wants yet.

>>53071424

is story circle good enough to be played in SB?
how many detention spheres main do you typically run?
is a 1 off Vault of the Archangel main a good idea, or is your manabase too cramped?
lists that i was drafting up had a 4/3 split on GOST's and Zurs, if only because Geist is the one that's actually going to win games. Is this accurate? or am i better off just running 4 Zurs/ 3-4 Geists?

>>53067541
Actually, OP's card is from Planar Chaos, so it's a planeshifted card and not a futuresight card.
Meaning, it's the same effect as a card already created, but in a different color because it's from the alternate multiverse that touched our multiverse during the course of that block's story.
Like Red Akroma being that universe's version of our White Akroma.

>>53072003
I just run circle of protection red but story circle is probably better in general

2

Vault seems a little hard. The Kamagawa legend lands are pretty good though.

I actually do run the 4/3 split with a 4th Zur in the SB to make it easier to get my SB enchantments.

>>53072110

I'm not a Living End player famalam, just noticed the lack of mentioning B&E

90% of your mana is spent as the following:
1-2 mana, mill 1 bigguy draw 1
2 mana, mill around 4 bigguys

The downside is the more you run, the less creatures you'll hit. I would try one for memes sake.

It's also interesting as a sub3cmc card and a way to build a living end deck. Having access to cheap spells that aren't Shriekmaw could be sweet.

>>53068318
I don't think it's full shill, to be fair the articles are decent and they provide free content for bored fuckers like myself. I haven't bought a single thing from them.
(Support your LGS!)
Trav's heart is in the right spot, with the 4cmc cascade you can't run monkey/fulmi. I think right now the way to go is to stack all the 1cmc cyclers you can fit, even if it means shitty rainbow lands.

>>53071383

I hate this card for what could have been. WotC flat said the White was going to get all tax based counters then they went back on it because they are a bunch of talent hacks and released a meek "Well we couldn't think of any ways to make blue counters interesting so were giving them back the tax counters"

okay, solitaire this last night and didn't work that bad.
I'm relatively new to U/W control deck and this version with the green splash for Nissa try to rely on the miracles mechanic.
It's a sort of WUG take-turns...opinions?
not solded on:
terminus over supreme verdict
sphinx's reevlation over 25th land

4x island
4x celestial colonnade
3x flooded strand
2x hallowed fountain
2x glacial fortress
2x ghost quarter
2x plains
1x breeding pool
1x temple garden
1x windswept heath
1x misty rainforest
1x temple of enlightenment
4x serum visions
4x path to exile
4x cryptic command
3x failure // comply

That's a colorshifted card, you dingus.
White was never going to get counters.

>>53077927
It is new art. Modern Hasbro art direction just demands that every card look exactly the same.

No that is new art. It just has to follow the WotC make-everything-shitty-boring-CGI guidelines so of course it comes out looking exactly the same.

Some of these mtg investment fuccbois infuriate me. Rudy has at least had the decency/self awareness to tell people that you shouldn't be using a fucking collectable card game as a substitute for actual investing. Like I get speculating on a few copies of banned cards or something but if you're buying out random cards to increase the price upwards of 100% you need to find an actual source of extra income.

>>53080385
>All the cards that haven't even been reprinted but are dropping more.

At least Lilly and goyf aren't over 100 r..right?
Verdant prices are insane for a rare in a just-printed masters set I pulled a regular and a foil and they're the most valuable cards I pulled other than a lilly.

Anybody play turns? Working on a list.

2x Cryptic Command
4x Dictate of Kruphix
1x Elixir of Immortality
3x Exhaustion
3x Gigadrowse
1x Howling Mine
23x Island
2x Part the Waterveil
4x Serum Visions
4x Spreading Seas
2x Telling Time
4x Temporal Mastery
4x Time Warp
3x Walk the Aeons

>>53080756
Your only wincons are two part the waterveils, which is generally a risky move.

I play turns, but I use a extraplanar lens/Emrakul variant.

>>53080756
turnsfag here. exhaustion is the nuts, wouldn't play less than 4, and should go up to 2 howling mine.
Everything else looks decent dude.

I'd also consider 3 part 2 walk to pad out the wincon. I run 11 warps but more is fine.
I'm going elixirless personally, but if you do that I'd recommend 4 part the waterfalls and a yolo mentality since that shit can get risky

>>53076836

Any burn players here? I keep wanting to make the mainboard only r/w with a playset of helix but keep green for the sb. Anyone having the same issue?

>>53082870
That's fine. A lot of people are on straight Boros with green only for Atarka's or Destructive Revelry.

>>53082870
Yeah, I ended up doing that ages ago too. Cat just can't keep up with all the removal in the format. I keep them in my SB on the odd chance I get pitted against Titanshift or some retarded UR list. That being said I'm probably gonna cut them for harsh mentors, see how well they actually preform.

Hi, I'm a Judge. I'm very sorry that you're having this experience. I'd suggest you talk to your store's owner first and foremost about this behavior, and what you feel is unfair partial behavior from the Judge. It's possible the owner doesn't realize there's an issue, and would rapidly correct it if their attention was called to it.

Second, if this is an actual certified Judge (instead of just 'the guy who handles the Judge stuff at the shop), I encourage you to report this shitheel behavior to their Regional Coordinator, and the Judge Conduct Committee.

No Thassa or Jace Beleren?

>>53088527
Not that guy, but I'm not super fond of Thassa, even if she does provide an alternate wincon. I feel like Monastary Seige and Jace's Sanctum both what she does better (aside from, you know, being an alt wincon, which she does quite well)
As for my nigga Beleren, if your list runs Elixir he's a beast and a half. Alt wincon that ignores life total, at 3cmc, that also acts as a Mine, and is sometimes objectively better than even Dictate.

I really wanted to still run him, he's that sweet, but without Elixir he'll have a hard time getting multiple ults off.

I can post my old deck pic I used to shitpost, but it's outdated as fuck.

Also, every list needs a Gemstone Caverns imo, that greasy little land is perfect in the deck.

>>53082963
>>53082963
"Best" way is for mainboard Stomping sideboard Destructives, if you don't care too much about sideboard slots you can even sideboard the stomping ground to have that 4 helix inspiring vantage feelgoods.

There's no substitute for Reverly, card is just too bonkers, but if you don't want any green you can try a Patrician's Scorn in the sideboard along with a few War Priest of Thune (the least shitty enchantment removal I could find for R/W burn, and she's been decent)

Basically swaps 2 damage for a 2/2 and requires other slots for artifact removal too, but that's the best white has.

Colorshifted Reverly when?!?!?

Took a gamble on a box of MM17 and I was rewarded for my bad decision:

Nearly $350 worth of cards including Liliana, foil Misty, 3 other fetches, Blood Moon, and a bunch of $4-10 rares.

It's pretty much guaranteed that fetches and Lili will start rising again in a few months, right?

And maybe which one is considered to the true pro format?

>>53089004

Modern is better but wizards pushes standard more because it sells more product.

Spent a long time playing that deck. Foiled it out. Loved it. But man, every time I got so close, every time it really mattered, it would let me down.

I went 8-1 day one in GP Dallas. Out of 2019 people I was in 34th place above Seth Manfield. I knew day 2 it was time to rock. I went 1-4 and dropped. I didn't give up on the deck. I continued to tweak it, I even ran smuggler's copter for a while over wall of omens. Just as I was going to top 8 another super IQ, I lost my win and in to some faggot affinity player who dumped his hand turn one two games in a row. That's when I gave up. Because I was playing some weird type 2/extended deck and my opponents were playing modern.

I play Deathshadow now.

Hey, looking to build a black/green Eldrazi deck. Here's what I've got so far:

Seek the wilds
Natural Connection
Sylvan Scrying
3x Loam Larva
Nissa, Voice of Zendikar
Nissa's Renewal
Blisterpod
2x Scion Summoner
2x Grave Unbirthing
3x Carrier Thrall
3x Eyeless Watcher
2x Witness the End
2x Eldrazi Devastator
2x Scour From Existence
2x Conduit of Ruin
3x Ruin Processor
3x Complete Disregard
2x Transgress the Mind
2x Swarm Surge
Reality Smasher
Bane of Bala Ged
Grip of Desolation
Titan's Desolation
Sifter of Skulls
Corpse Churn
Oblivion Strike
Birthing Hulk

And I've got Ceaseless Ulamog on the way. This deck is mostly a labour of love cuz I think the Eldrazi are cool as shit. I need advice on any weaknesses/holes in the deck, plus on what lands to take. I've got 2 Mortuary Mires, a Fertile Thicket, an Evolving Wilds, an Unknown Shores and a Shrine to the forsaken gods. I've included Nissa and the Loam Larvas to help get lands out. Are there any other lands I should take? Should I include all of these or just a few.

Looking for a good pinger card in red for my 8 whacks sideboard as I don't have anything that can really get rid of a few x/1's outside of bolt, goblin grenade or mogg fanatic. Just fished out 3 copies of electrickery, or should I try for forked lightning?

>>53090596
I think they meant stuff like Horizon Canopy. Allied colored lands and enemy colored lands are considered separate land cycles in respect to being "complete" or whatever.

>>53092466
Do you want real advice or kiddy gloves?

>>53092511
Real advice please, as long as "real advice" isn't used as an excuse to waste my time with stuff like "durr hurr play blue/red instead"

>>53092609
First of all this is the wrong thread to be asking about this. Modern is a specific competitive format of mtg, not a time frame. If you want specific card choices go to the "kitchen table mtg" thread. But I will give you some general deck building advice, just so you can't say Modern general never did anything for you the next time you stumble in here with a casual shitbrew you want advice on.

When building a deck you need to keep a gameplan in mind: Curve out hard, ramp into your big dumb beaters, flood the board, kill all of their shit and stall the game, etc. If you just pile a bunch of cards you like together you're going to get crap. Consistency is king, identify your best cards to achieve your gameplan and play 4 of them, none of this piddly 2 of this and 2 of that shit. Look at decks other players have made, if you think this is cheating somehow or think that makes you "netdecking scum" then fuck off, no one got good at deckbuilding by refusing to look at other peoples' decks. Plus looking at decks in your colors helps you identify good cards in your colors, if a bunch of players run it then it must be doing something right. Finally, a point about card selection, if your vanilla beater isn't a 1 mana 12/12 turn 4 or a 2 mana 4/5 turn 3, then it's probably a shit card and you should include another creature with an effect, preferably one that doesn't require it having to survive an entire turn to get value off of.

I've seen deck recipes in Modern costiong from $200 to $2000. $2000 seems utterly absurd but I could handle buying the lower cost decks.

Could I stay competitive in Modern if I set aside like $1000 a year for cards? Or is that not enough?

>>53093976
If you pick a deck that won't get banned you can build it once and then just add to it as cards come out/expand it as the metagame evolves. Once you've bought the initial deck maintaining it is relatively cheap (unless they do something likeprint Voice of Resurgence)

>>53094080
What decks play voice of resurgence anyway? I always felt the card was mediocre.

>>53094136
The deck that played it the most got banned. I've been out of the game for a while but it got played in hate bears and I would be surprised if it didn't get played in Collected Company lists.

Does anyone else wish that WotC would add a few more good mill cards to help make it more competitive? As it is, I still think it's an underrated strategy (not that it's top-tier); you can get lucky with mill + surgical extraction and extirpate to get rid of some of your opponent's critical cards.

22 lands is slightly too few, especially when 10 of them have a 'sacrifice this land' ability. This list wants 23-24.

SoX&Y are medium at best. These should probably be Smug Copters or Honor the Pure.

Maindeck Mindcensor is bad. These should probably be Serra Avengers or Blade Splicers, depending on if you're running Honor the Pure or Copters.

Judge's Familiar is EXTRA medium. These should 100% be Thraben Inspectors unless you're walking into a Storm meta, which you'd want Dryad Militants for.

Sunlance is literally retarded. Seriously, 4? At least play Condemn.
Elspeth K-E is not Gideon AoZ. This is not comparable. One of each or two Gideons.

What's the best way to beat Eldrazi Tron? Seems like they're not as vulnerable to mana disruption as traditional Tron lists.

>>53096089
I don't understand why this is still a top deck.
It seems so bad every time I play against it.

They don't find tron half the time and when they do it doesn't even seem to matter. Oh no, an endbringer or another smasher you could already afford.
Bant eldrazi and traditional tron are much better decks imo. The only thing this deck seems to stand on is chalice of the void.

That being said, mana denial and a fast clock is still key. They pretty much can't beat ensnaring bridge without ballista. Pithing Needle is great if you can find ways to deal with the other eldrazi like tks and smashers

Could Cast Out be decent in Abzan?

I can kinda see it as an alternative to Mishra's Bauble in Grim Flayer variants. Sure, it's not as good as Bauble turns 1-3, but turn 4 or later topdecking this could literally save you the game, where a late game Bauble is a liability.

>>53096854
Also, being an Enchantment rather than an Artifact is usually going to be an upgrade for your Goyfs, since you're much more likely to be putting opposing Artifacts to the grave than opposing Enchantments.

>>53095453

>>53097247

Well that card sucks

>>53097363
For what the deck is doing I feel it's a better card than Thraben inspector which basically read "pay 2 And draw card and skip your turn".

>>53097694
You don't have to crack the clue immediately, and Inspector has synergy with things that care about artifacts, whereas Judge's Familiar is a 1/1 flying force spike for instants and sorceries only.

I have been tasked with collecting the boosters for our yearly draft event for our convention in June. Which sets would work best right now? We traditionally have decent draw regardless of set, but id like some opinions so i don't pick something retarded and piss off our attendees.

Whereas Kaladesh/Revolt forces people back to an awful set.

It's a matter of perception. Amonkhet is the typical draft format right now. It is average. There is nothing positive or negative about doing Amonkhet.

G/R has the best sweepers, G/W has path so it's better in the mirror, and G/B has hand disruption and solid removal. Pretty much the only major difference between the 3 Gx variants.

Utron is a control deck; you're looking to stop them early game with typical modern counterspells and eventually use your overwhelming mana advantage to win via mindslaver lock, wurmcoil, ulamog, or whatever else you're running.

Eldrazitron is a colorless midrange deck that runs the tronlands because it doesn't really have anything better to run in those slots. Because it's also using temples to ramp, it's the most resilient to land destruction as it doesn't need tron to go off.

Bolas isn't even a very good card. Karn and ugin are much stronger

>>53069701
Im sure they were most proud of the first line.
>you can bring back a snapcaster everyone is going to love this! And its even better that you play it right away so you cant abuse snapcaster too hard :)

You're subhuman anon

You can tell Steve doesn't give a shit about MtG when he can't create card art that doesn't have women with massive tits. That background is awful

No they just picked his shittiest submission, the other two drakes he made looked better

>>53101276
Nothing about my post is angry. You seem to have self esteem issues. Tron is brain dead and plays itself. Your problem if you take that as an insult

>>53101285
>No they just picked his shittiest submission, the other two drakes he made looked better

Just looked it up. Yeah there were several better options. Definitely points to art direction just being shit more than anything else

>>53101351
I'm sorry, anon. I didn't know you would get this upset. Jeez.

Quality posts, friend

>Implying they need to be perfect.
People already knows those famous cards. They barely look at them.

>>53101438
Some of them are just too dark. Like mox opal. Shit looks so bad

>>53092398

He used to be good, he's shit tier ever since they changed combat damage rules (still disagree with that shit.)

1/1 that you can sac to do 1? Woop de fucking do. 1/1 that you can chump block for 1 damage and sac to do a second damage? Yes please.

Wizards has done so much to make this game less fun.

>>53064142
Are there any good elf decks going around?

also did any good green cards come out with amonkhet? i haven't seen much mention of any. although i did see that one nissa card

>>53101541

Too bad damage on the stack was retarded and made no goddamn sense

>>53101972
If you weren't retarded it made plenty sense

>>53101541
>1/1 that you can chump block for 1 damage and sac to do a second damage? Yes please.
Goblin Arsonist does almost exactly that and it's still garbage.

>>53101011
U Tron is similar to classic Control.
Gx plays more like Midrange, where you want to jam big stuff until you win.

dumb question

making a mill deck.
how do I deal with eldrazi/cards that shuffle graveyards into libraries.

Can I exile during the trigger?

>>53102556
If Emrakul is shuffling the graveyard back into the library, how do you plan on exiling it?

>>53102556
You can exile it from the graveyard in response to the shuffle trigger but the graveyard still gets shuffled even if the Eldrazi is gone.

Also, not to discourage you, but mill doesn't work. Its cards are not efficient enough nor are there enough of them. You're just spending money on a deck that can't hack it even casually. The only way Mill works is when it's put into a control shell as a win condition and in that case you're still better off using a better win condition.

>>53102556
>Emmy trigger on the stack
>in response, exile graveyard with ability or spell
Done.

I'm restarting, was planning on getting either this or this

or some kind of colorless deck, that sounds fun

>>53102667
Lantern is the superior mill deck.

>>53102667
Do the phenax wall mill but with a few worship. mite be cool

What's so good about lantern?

something like this?
There are so many new cards, I haven't played/collected since mirrodin came out.

That's the worst """"lantern"""" list I've ever seen and you should actually look into what a real list looks like instead of some Tezztron shitbrew.

Lantern is good because it attacks from a unique angle that's difficult for a lot of decks to interact with and it rewards player knowledge and experience in all of it's matchups. It's a very operator dependent deck and can be difficult to hate out.

For what an actual list looks like I'd recommend checking out any of these lists

>>53099336
That's not me(the guy who posted the list) but hatebears/dnt metashare is on the rise and is placing more. I'm not saying the deck is as consistent DSJ but it's far from shitty.

gonna be building this later this week.
rate and hate

>Wow I now have to make decisions instead of having an objectively correct play of 'do both' now?
>Wizards sure is making the game worse.
Go fuck yourself. It's bad enough that cards aren't being made with proper downsides anymore, but defending damage on the stack just proves you don't want to have to make situational value judgments.

>>53102981
>lanternfags actually believe this
Is there a land on top of their deck? No? Well let's mill until there is!

>>53103507
It's about playing when you don't have a complete lock you mong. Pro tip: We don't start with all of our lock pieces in hand or on the board.

2/10 I replied

>>53101646
BG Elves is really the only way to play. You could shove white in there for sideboard options, but that's about it.

>>53102981
I don't understand. What's the win condition? Codex shredder?

>>53103615
The win condition is codex shredder or waiting for your opponent to scoop once the lock is in place

>>53103615
With Lantern, the idea is you lock your opponent out of drawing anything useful by using a combination of your 8 mill rocks in the deck + Lantern of insight. This coupled with ensnaring bridge to turn of creature strategies can seal games, but sometimes you need cards like pithing needle and surgical to do that.

The wincon is mill mill but it often never comes to that because once you've got a lock of 3+ mill rocks and bridge it's all but over. it's much better than a confused amalgam of Tron, Tezzerator and Lantern like the link that was posted.

so, a long ass fucking time ago I played casual MTG. A friend I met at work got me back into it a few weeks ago, and last night let me borrow his burn deck for my first modern experience. Had a blast even though I did poorly.

Back in ~2009, the last time I played magic, I had a blue/black/white artifact deck that relied heavily on the card trinket mage and being able to grab a few utility artifacts in each game. is there anything similar in modern? I'm aware of the format's absurd price tag, but the store had 20+ people playing so it seems like something I'll get a lot of enjoyment out of, I don't mind dropping upwards of 1000 for a solid deck.

If you want, you can try to mill your opponent in one shot.
https://www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/instant-deck-tech-wall-mill-modern

I prefer to call it "Phenax's Labyrinth" because the walls corner the opponent into a dead end of delirium.

I don't know if it's just me but I get really bad heatenings while playing against someone else and losing. I start sweating, spilling spaghetti, and my face gets really red like I'm taking a poop.

Lantern is a highly interactive deck. Piloting lantern requires you to be familiar with the game plan of other decks.

I doubt it's suitable for new players.

>>53104384
Not sure about an esper Trinket mage list, the closest thing would probably be Tezzerator?
I know Trophy mage has a deck (UTron), Trinket may have a home but google is probably more help than /tg/ here

>>53103235
Looks pretty sweet Anon. Devo is flexible in many ways and has a lot of room for fun cards. I'm not going the CoCo route (instead running a playset of Primals and a Genesis Wave) but it's a fine strat alongside the Knights.

I went pure U/G, no white for Knight or Red for Wolfrun, and I run Garruks and Kioras.

Garruk is a beast in the deck (turn 2 Garruk with Arbor/Sprawl), but if you don't care for him Kiora does an almost identical job, and playing both on turn 2 followed by a 3drop usually gets people to concede
