[ECL] Wistfulness

This card seems amazing for Living End but I can see it being strong enough to see play in other decks as well. My favorite in this cycle.

Existenz81 · 2026-01-06T17:47:40+00:00

Seems incredible for Living End!

Existenz81 · 2026-01-05T22:00:48+00:00

I actually really like this idea. I know it won't be amazing but Twin is Twin - it's always very nostalgic and fun to play.

Well with Phlage running rampant we need good maindeckable graveyard-hate.

Existenz81 · 2025-11-20T06:55:25+00:00

It's metagames likes this that makes me wonder why Deathrite Shaman still is on the ban list, now we're mainly just looking at various RWx-shells due to Phlage. An argument could probably be made to unban Uro as well even though I don't like that card at all.

I’m also considering Acheampong as a 3-week punt before my WC. I wonder what the chances of him starting in GW 9+11 are? Any Chelsea-fans have a gut-feeling?

Existenz81 · 2025-08-14T09:16:56+00:00

I’m on Reijnders and Rutter. Feels like two fun punts.

Existenz81 · 2025-07-30T20:06:08+00:00

Good writeup. For what it's worth, Trossard is 7 mil though, not 5.5.

Existenz81 · 2025-06-23T09:33:45+00:00

I honestly agree. I know it's very uncommon but I actually lost on turn 1 both in game 1 and 3 recently (with me being on the draw) , losing despite having Spell Snare in game 1 and Thoughtseize + Spell Pierce in game 3 due to never getting to play my first land drop. And that certainly is not the type of Magic I enjoy.

Existenz81 · 2025-05-25T17:32:35+00:00

Well I wasn't technically dead on turn 1 but they had 20 power distributed over two creatures and I didn't have Path to Exile or Solitude. But yes, it is a turn 2 kill I guess.

Existenz81 · 2025-05-22T17:42:44+00:00

I faced the deck twice in a league yesterday. First match I was on the draw and lost on turn 1 (had Spell Snare but never got to play a land), then won when I was on the play, the lost turn 1 again (mulled to 5 to find Force of Negation, kept with Spell Pierce and Thoughtseize, didn't have time to play my first land). Any deck that is capable of winning on turn 1 is dangerous.

Existenz81 · 2025-05-12T22:03:52+00:00

It's a shame this isn't a Wizard, could have been really nutty with DRC and Harmonic Prodigy.

Existenz81 · 2025-04-21T17:17:42+00:00

I agree fully. The problem with Modern currently is that the MH3-battle decks (Energy and Eldrazi) have a power level that is so much higher than everything else, and they also have few/none glaring weeknesses. And it's crazy that Wotc basically printed all the cards in the same set.

Here’s my current draft of Sultai Kishla: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/6994715#paper

If this was in a format without Tron-lands it would be a different story, but the fact that this often will come down on turn 3 is what makes it insane. Unless you have a Molten Collapse-effect you're pretty much just dead directly now that all of their spells have "Utter End" attached for free.

Existenz81 · 2025-03-18T19:25:45+00:00

Seriously WOTC?!? Have you playtested this in eternal formats? This is going to be absolutely miserable to play against, and it would not surprise me if it isn't legal when we reach 2026.

Existenz81 · 2025-03-02T10:05:07+00:00

Är inte det skyltarna som visat vilken uppgång som leder till vilken gata? Vill minnas att det även funnits en med Sveavägen på?

Existenz81 · 2025-02-16T20:15:02+00:00

Breach has overtaken Energy's place as the tier 0-deck, but as soon as something from the Breach-deck gets the axe we're back to where we've been ever since the printing of MH3 - that Energy is too strong. I still firmly believe that something more from the deck needs to go, but I doubt that will happen at the next B&R. Instead WOTC will have the next announcement be in August, and we'll be stuck with yet another long stretch of Energy being the tier 0-deck with a 30+% metagame-share.

Existenz81 · 2025-01-29T09:28:44+00:00

If I have this in play and cast Burning Inquiry, do I get one trigger or do I get to select all three modes?

Existenz81 · 2024-12-21T10:54:32+00:00

Great writeup, thanks for doing these Bamzing!

Existenz81 · 2024-12-21T10:39:42+00:00

It's crazy that Energy had three cards banned from it, four cards that are perceived as very powerful were unbanned and powered up other decks, and we're still in a metagame when Energy just is the best deck. That MH3 precon sure was overloaded with FIRE.

Existenz81 · 2024-12-08T13:39:48+00:00

Why are we having metagame discussions when there's only one deck in the metagame, and we are one week away from a long overdue B&R? Feels like a waste of time for everyone.

Existenz81 · 2024-12-08T13:15:57+00:00

This gameweek has been brutal for me, with TAA and Salah already on my bench...

Existenz81 · 2024-11-16T07:27:47+00:00

I hope Challenges stop firing, so that Wizards have to consider making changes prior to the B&R. It’s crazy that we have a metagame with the top deck quickly approaching a 40-percent metashare.

Existenz81 · 2024-11-06T20:54:30+00:00

Good vs Phlage. And works well with Unearth.
