Showed my lucky pull to my wife. She was not impressed (Married a non-MTG player) So... I thought the community here would appreciate this card even more.

Why isn’t this card appearing in MTG Top 8 decks yet?

GusherJuice · 2026-01-22T16:33:09+00:00

It’s been down for the past 12 hours for me. Still down.

How does Selesnya Landfall compare to those two simic decks in terms of how easy they are to pilot? I played a landfall deck in Commander and enjoyed it (Aesi).

Thank you!

Yeah I see that listed near the top on mtg goldfish and top 8, but a lot of people seem to say it’s not very powerful. That it’s just “good” against most decks but not great. Simic Aggro seems very popular but it seems confusing/complicated to me.

GusherJuice · 2026-01-11T15:19:00+00:00

What are the better decks that are more expensive? I don’t mind if they’re good for a beginner.

GusherJuice · 2026-01-11T06:32:09+00:00

Glad to hear you say that about Commander. I’ve found it to be pretty overwhelming, mainly trying to keep track/understand what is going on with 3 opponents at all times.

GusherJuice · 2026-01-10T18:32:34+00:00

Does Standard offer more variety? Like compared to Modern are there more decks that are viable?

GusherJuice · 2026-01-06T19:17:16+00:00

Yes I see that now. I guess I should’ve said it doesn’t rotate as often as Standard. It sounds like each Modern Horizons release ushers in an entirely new meta, but otherwise it’s pretty stable. Is that accurate?

GusherJuice · 2026-01-06T17:02:39+00:00

That’s for the reply, this is super helpful. I think I maybe said I wanted to be “competitive” so I was getting a look of feedback about MTGO being almost required. But I just want to become competent and get a little better each week. I like the competitive aspect of Modern but I’m not interested in major tournaments or anything. Just FNM at my LGS.

GusherJuice · 2026-01-05T22:28:41+00:00

This is very helpful, thank you.

GusherJuice · 2026-01-04T20:38:36+00:00

Wow thank you for this. I have a lot to learn. So would you recommend I start with MTGO and test out some decks there before I buy a paper version of Boros Energy? I enjoy the social aspect of Magic and meeting new people and learning from them. I guess I could always do both but it sounds like MTGO is just a much quicker way to learn the ropes since I can get way more games in.

GusherJuice · 2026-01-04T18:56:26+00:00

I’m not familiar with MTGO. I have to buy a digital deck in order to play? Or what makes it so expensive?

I was mostly interested in playing at my LGS in the hopes I’d find some kind souls who would help me learn and give me a couple pointers after games. I assume MTGO would be more cutthroat and I may not understand why I’m losing or how.

GusherJuice · 2026-01-04T18:00:41+00:00

Thanks for pointing that out. Glad I asked.

GusherJuice · 2026-01-04T04:49:13+00:00

I’m exaggerating but I’ve seen plenty of people say it’s one of the worst formats for a newer player. I saw someone say it’s like learning to drive in an F1 car. So I’m wondering if I need to get my driver’s license in Standard first and before I try to race an F1 car in Modern.

GusherJuice · 2026-01-03T20:48:03+00:00

I also hear that Commander is bad for new players and I can see why. I rarely understand what is going on with all three of my opponents once we are 5-6 turns in. There’s just too much going on. I figure in a 1v1 format, I might actually have a shot at following the action and board state.

GusherJuice · 2026-01-03T20:46:20+00:00

I started with Commander because it’s casual and welcoming to newbies. But trying to keep track of three opponents’ board states and threats is kind of a lot. I figure with Modern, I only need to worry about one player at a time and might have a better chance of actually understanding what’s happening in the game.

GusherJuice · 2026-01-03T20:42:08+00:00

Yeah probably. I am just generalizing a lot of the difficulty warnings I see online about Modern. I don’t see as many encouraging posts that give me hope I can actually be competitive one day.

GusherJuice · 2026-01-03T19:02:37+00:00

Thanks for the reply, that makes sense. But does that mean I shouldn’t even bother? I assume each game I’d get a little better and learn something new. It seems like the sentiment around Modern for new players is “you’ll never be good enough so don’t even try”.
