TOO SOON

Hm... Uh, I don't think it was coordinated. Well... Yeah carefully calculated this move and set ourselves up to peel Twin off the top to win! Nope.

Repeal Hurkyl's Recall Engineered Explosives Chalice of the Void Academy Ruins but seriously, you can jam as many Repeal as your heart desires!

Hm. This idea sounds awesome actually. How do you feel about running multiple copies of cards? Me spewing ideas: Control: Lightning Bolt Young Pyromancer Dualcaster Mage Pyromancer's Goggles Midrange: Abbot of Keral Keep Outpost Siege Chandra, Pyromaster Thundermaw Hellkite Aggro...

I wasn't actually trying to promote discussion. Sorry

Yeah, what I really hate about this (and the article you linked echoes this sentiment) is that Modern was sold to players as a non-rotating format, and now Wizards has imposed a yearly rotation to the format under the guise of "spicing up the format."

With Pod out of the format, fast aggro/combo is extremely strong in the format (Burn, Affinity and Infect have always been top tier or close to it), and to answer these decks you either need to be playing your own fast combo (i.e. Twin, Amulet) or be able to tear apart combo player's hands with...

I don't know which blue decks get better/more diverse as a result of the ban, which is why I think their reasoning is pretty poor. What options are there in blue (not Merfolk) that are still competitive in Modern, given that Tron and Eldrazi, along with Infect/Affinity/Burn will be the new...

Does anyone else on the forums play Modern? WoTC released their new B&R and... Splinter Twin is banned in Modern! :'( Thoughts?

The "red artifact" decks don't have to be reliant on their planeswalker to be strong though. I prefer my "artifact decks" to be fairly incidental outside of a few more narrow cards like Thopter Spy Network and Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas. FWIW I don't run Deretti but he's another direction you can...

The mentality that red is just "a sea of attacking small bodied red drops" is probably why this card falls short for you. Red can be that but it can also be much more than that if we allow it to be. Outside of Chandra, Pyromaster and Daretti, Scrap Savant, standalone walkers in red are fairly...

For reasons I detailed above, this card does so, so much to support big red decks. I'm not going to go over the utility that it gives decks again. I've done that already. But keep in mind Goggles is a ramp card first and foremost. "Big Red" needs mana, and my cube doesn't run many mana rocks in...

First draft of the semester is today! Here's the update (we wanted to try some OGW cards): IN: Doomsday Darkblast Miscalculation Flayer Drone Weapons Trainer Stormchaser Mage Reflector Mage OUT: Smothering Abomination Snuff Out Memory Lapse Geralf's Messenger Plated Geopede Goblin...

This match makes me laugh every time I watch it. The stone-faced Emerakul... Emerakul? EMERAKUL! ending in game 3 is pure gold.

Did anyone here win the Lottery?

During the time Theros was in Standard, mono-black decks routinely played off-colored Temples because the scry effect was that powerful. In a deck that could curve Thoughseize > Pack Rat. Granted, the environment was on average slower than many of our Cubes, so that might have been a factor.

From what I've found, it's not that you need a certain density of red instants/sorceries, as (presumably) your red spells are good enough on their own to be played in your deck. You have to want a situational piece of late game card advantage that also provides some ramp. It allows red to be a...

Personally, I like instant speed a lot. But here's my analysis: Runious Path feels a lot like Shriekmaw, only different other cards care about each. Pod/Creature recycle cares about 'maw, where spell-based decks (think Snap, YPeezy) care more about Path. Shriekmaw Ruinous Path Comparing the...

When I wrote this I was actually thinking the opposite. A lot of my posts this winter have been kinda shitty and non-contributive to the community as a whole (which is probably a function of me being away from drafting on the regular), and I'd like to change that. Meaning, I might post less or I...
