There's something horribly wrong when first prize at a massive Legacy Grand Prix will barely reimburse you for the cost of the deck. Wizards is clearly worried about pegging the cost of the game to prizes, though having things as grossly disproportionate as they are is certainly much more...

hehe, my playgroup wasnt too enthusiastic about renounce even though I boast the highest proportion of gold cards in, well, any cube ever. the demon's inability to meet the threshold isn't really a deal-breaker for me, my more standard-minded friends have been huge proponents. jason: much...

how do people feel about these bad boys (first one courtesy chas andres finance article)

t2 geist is really hard for even sisters lists to deal with (one of the reasons i switched to Wb control) and t3 pethy is certainly a powerful play. t2 geist and t2 liliana are roughly as sickening for anyone to see. elspeth has fallen out of favor in modern for complicated reasons, but as i see...

in chicago i recommend eating hella sandwiches and pizza. i am in new york and both these fixtures are definitely far worse

uwr asks few questions aside from geist. as i see it the entire conceit of the deck is that it can run a ton of removal and collapse its wincons into a hexproof beater / giant manland. rest is a strong card, no shame in that i dunno, in the zoo list i'd be tempted to cut spells to make room...

Ditto, I felt ripped off cracking for tarns at $16 apiece about a year and a half ago. the modern PTQs didnt seem THAT much bigger this time around, but i do think prices are more sensitive to card availability than is intuitive. or maybe the game grew stratospherically, did you see the...

so i haven't crunched the numbers in terms of "what is performing well" but one of our playgroup's finer players loves UWx control in every format and has recently been in a slump across both modern and standard ptq seasons and the weekly legacy tournament we have here. i'm sure much of it is...

Love it, I'm gonna try a few

MOVER N SHAKER. Soul Sisters used to cost like 80 bucks. I remember when there weren't so many people who played this game

Hi guys I scrubbed the Invi due to jet-lag, idiocy, bad luck etc. so I'm back in here to theorycraft I think 5c Zoo is OK in modern, though I definitely want 2-3 Ghor-Clan Rampager. Melira Pod is a bad and pervasive matchup (and the best shell for Varolz, you goofs -- sac outlets at 1/2/3), so...

Ramp + LD Ramp + Enchantments for playable ramp + removal off the top of my head there's ramp + damage i am a big fan of the following cards

CHANTRON ftw

sadly i'm not gonna have time to do it and it'll be gone by the time i'm back. another time!

jesus that is really super. how'd a nitwit like you get so tasteful

tideover (that's his guard duty) edit: for this modo cube thing, what did you guys have in mind, like how un-sober should i be, what kind of un-sober, more friends over etc.

hooray. though jason's not with me on this one i think categories can be pretty useful for describing cubes

yeah, back in the day there was stuff like Zoo and Burn and even now there's a few non-blue aggro decks like Affinity but not so many anymore. my theory is that deathrite + decay + lilly made it way too appealing to play black to give more than a puncher's chance against combo and after playing...

OK so i was a big grump when i recorded this because i had just quit smoking. this is in addition to the self-loathing brought about by modo and its cube and my baseline level of weltschmerz etc. that excuse conveniently explains my horrendous play too. i gotta get a new mic and i'm freaking...

awwww yeah i like it. lmk how it goes. again signets are really powerful cards. they were heavily played in most decks of that era and defined said formats
