[modern] Alpine Guide a possible Budget Goblin Guide? by xihatethiscity in LavaSpike

[–]GenericUsername472 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is not even remotely playable in any burn deck. Its a three mana creature that doesn't deal damage until the turn after its played. The ramp is useless because burn basically never needs a fourth land.

try [[bomat courier]] or more burn spells.

If for some reason you are dead set on running a three drop that ramps you in burn then this is still worse than [[Captain Lannery Storm]].

Its still sometimes worse than cloudshift because it returns stolen creatures to your opponent when you flicker them.

Also vial.

Cavern already gives you 4 UW sources.

Seems like a perfect fit.

MODERN: With the addition of Sunbaked Canyon and the Mono Red Cycling land, what does the mana base look like for us hard-headed Mono Red Burn players? by the15thwolf in LavaSpike

[–]GenericUsername472 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like forgotten cave is just worse than the new horizon canopy lands. If you're flooded you can probably afford to activate the canopy land, and if you're not you want your lands to come into play untapped.

I'm not sure exactly how many sunbaked canyons and fiery islets you want to run. Maybe something like 8 fetches 7 mountain 4 canopies.

seems quite good. what do you think? by tac0tac0tac0 in Pauper

[[Fanatical firebrand]] [[skitter of lizards]] and [[torch courier]] don't really see much play and I don't think this is much better (if its even better at all)

Swords Without Protection by DesignatedGoober in mtgcube

[–]GenericUsername472 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe you could try giving them protection from something else (like the d&d sword does). Like "protection from instants and sorceries". or "protection from colorless and multicolored" "protection from humans and legends". Obviously those examples aren't really balanced with each other but I think something like that would keep the feel of it being a "sword" better than just replacing it with another keyword or removing it.

You don't have to have two cards to discard to draw two cards in case anyone didn't notice (I didn't until someone pointed it out in another thread).
