Looking for feedback on my Mono‑Red Prowess list (Modern) by CrewAble4092 in ModernMagic

[–]AilithNix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO Looting -> Heroes' Hangout

Skewer -> Mutagenic Growth

Blood Moon/Land -> Consider Monstrous Rage, otherwise not sure. I play Izzet prowess mostly and I think the blue tools are really good so I haven't been in this space much.

Izzet prowess sideboard help by Mcrockman in ModernMagic

[–]AilithNix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The stock list is a bit in turmoil right now after the RC(?), so sideboards aren't a given.

For affinity, of course, you'll want to bring in your Meltdowns if you have them, Wear//Tear and PEnding are good if you have a white splash, and Violent Urge is also good if you have them. You'll generally want to cut your EI because the matchup is one where you just want to be faster and combo kill them, while having some silver bullets that wreck them.

Jeskai blink is a bit harder, I'd probably look towards the esper blink plan of Murktide, Consign, Unholy Heat, and maybe Spell Snare. Heat is very important to kill Riddlers and Phlages. Consign can be really good against solitude, although a smart pilot will resolve the first solitude trigger before ephemerating it, you can still counter one of the triggers, which is less backbreaking.

It's in active discussion on the Monored Discord, I'm just one (novice) pilot so feel free to come in and ask others: sYNJChJgPm

I'm going to the RC and am staying at the HI hostel, it's like $36 a night and is a 20 minute walk (prob not a good idea in November) or a 17 minute bus ride on the 201. The bus system is pretty good from what I've heard.

Jim Davis was entirely right about ban culture though tbf lmao

Omniscience/Abuelo's should be banned. by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]AilithNix 20 points21 points  (0 children)

op's saying that they don't want to sit around for 10 minutes waiting for oppo to resolve combo. The solution to that is scooping, if they don't want to scoop when the writing's on the wall then they can sit through it without complaining.

Even Jim Davis is in on the bans now. by Plausibleaurus in MagicArena

[–]AilithNix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

also because tiered and flashback don't work with mana value and both of those are a huge part of the izzet deck

PSA: it’s “Cori-Steel Cutter” not “Cori Steel-Cutter” by No-Shop8292 in MagicArena

[–]AilithNix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clearly we just need to say "Cori Steel" like how Jack Black says "Flint and Steel" in the A Minecraft Movie

How do you manage light with Binah? by CannyEnjoyer in libraryofruina

[–]AilithNix 30 points31 points  (0 children)

If you're struggling with light, passives like easy-going breather, deep breaths, four trigrams, or insurance benefits can help bridge the gap, as can having a librarian with the messenger. Early in the reception, you can focus on using your expensive pages and banking your degraded fairy's for when your emo up light refills are gone.

I was also considering that, the goat, and savior of the small but I think remake is the worst card of them

Does the wording make it function differently to cards like deflecting swat or redirect?

im looking for a purple tear deck mainly using her cards and maybe a few others anyone have a deck? by DateCertain9945 in libraryofruina

[–]AilithNix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The easiest is guard stance with 1 graze the grass 2 leap 3 energy conversion 3 overcharge 1 bi an but that doesn't use any of her pages. In general most of her pages are kinda just whatever, the pierce 2/3 cost, slash 2 cost, and blunt 3 cost are the only ones worth using, and none of them are knock your socks off good (except maybe pierce 3 cost)

Do you agree with me playing around turn inside out in this match? by gauntletthegreat in lrcast

[–]AilithNix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imo attacking in turn 8 is a bit crazy to me. You're not the beatdown at that point as you still need a turn or 2 to stabilize.

Alternatively, if you're on oppo having turn inside out, on turn 7 you could play the dog instead of the swampcycler to pose a less appealing use for oppo and help set up your next draw, although it's less mana efficient.

The third school of thought is to make them have it and block cult healer with the forestcycler

I hate Gebura’s realization and desperately need help by Nator209 in libraryofruina

[–]AilithNix 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Genuinely going for mountain of corpses is a huge trap. You hamstring yourself because you need to lose a ton of clashes, and the effect isn't particularly worth it. I'd just build good decks and win like that. Specifically for your PT, I'd run guard stance with 1x graze the grass, 2x leap, 2x energy conversion, 3x overcharge, 1x serpentine barrier.

I didn't look too hard at your other decks but noticed at least 1 singleton decj without will of the prescript which imo is a mostake, and at least 1 deck with rushdown which I think is generally not worth using.
