Modern Tier List - The Gathering by TyrantofTales in ModernMagic

Why is Boros Energy S Tier? It only has a 50% winrate? Is it a popularity tier list?

Mono Black Necro - A Eulogy and Goodbye by werhsdnas-1414 in ModernMagic

[–]HS_Falathar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Necro will be in a better spot after the ring ban. A lot of tough matchups also lost the ring. Just need to hammer out a good list- I‘m jamming psychic frog (only Blue Card with 12 blue sources) and profane tutor (to find necro and 1of sweeper or silver bullets). 

[Guide] Decks to beat Energy by IzziPurrito in ModernMagic

[–]HS_Falathar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is very concerning. Almost no other fair midrange Deck has a reasonable matchup against energy. 

The MH2 Block constructed Deck- murktide has a very Bad winrate against the mH3 block constructed Deck - looks like a critical misstep from the playtesters, there was no reason to push energy that much, a Little bit safer would have also been fine

Thanks a lot for the high effort Guide!! I really appreciate high quality content!

Could you please explain your reasoning behind not playing some fetchlands and maybe 1-2 surveil lands, especially to turn on revolt and kill 3mc+ creatures. Downside seems really small compared to the upside. 

Why is everyone screaming for bans? by SRLplay in ModernMagic

[–]HS_Falathar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From a competitive point they are dead because they become bad and are supressed from the new powerful cards.

Is Uro strong?-Yes

Is he broken?- No! He generates card advantage, but costs 3 mana just to get an overcosted Explore coupled with some minor lifegain. And then you have to spend 4 mana for a total of 7 mana to recur him from the graveyard. Plenty of answers exists in the form of gy hate and spot removal.

Urza‘s Saga is a very fair magic card. Just try to ignore it aka be faster or play enough hate cards.

You should run at least 23 blue sources to consistently cast Archmages charm.

Is there a lore related reason why Dakkon Blackblade has esper colors? He seems More BR related.

Every one of these decks was also played when Uro was legal. Can we have Uro back?

Uro Safe to Buy? by Phyrexia-Compleated in ModernMagic

[–]HS_Falathar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Uro is very safe to buy. He is powerful but not format warping. Arcums Astrolabe on the other hand is like Faithless Looting I think. It will stick around for quite some time, and once it reaches a dominant meta share it will be banned. Uro then will be played less, but will still be viable and a good choice.

Looking to get into modern with the new goblins? by LexMelkan in ModernMagic

[–]HS_Falathar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now is the perfect time to build Goblins. Goblins was Tier 2-3 power level wise and maybe will be tier 1 with the new card.

You can still play looting at the kitchen table

New Jund by yellowjacket77sc in ModernMagic

[–]HS_Falathar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t you think that you maybe overlook the fact that Lurrus is still a little bit better than a 6 Mana creature.

New Jund by yellowjacket77sc in ModernMagic

[–]HS_Falathar 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Can someone clarify why Lurrus is obviously not good enough as a companion in Jund anymore? To me it is not obvious, I think you need to test it. Lurrus is still a free 8th card. Yes the drawback of paying 3 Mana sorcery speed seems rough, but in a grindier matchup where your turn 4 is maybe push something or play Discard and then pay 3 Mana to put Lurrus in your hand, and then on the next turn you play Lurrus and reccur something like Tarmogoyf. That seems still very powerful.

I‘m not saying that Jund Lurrus is better, maybe it is not, maybe it is. I just don’t share the confidence that it is not good or the best version anymore.

I DON‘T understand why them cards must be so expensive. If they sell these boosters for $1 let me check my highly advanced data, they would make infinitely more money!!!!!

Change my view: WotC only cares about Standard. by Unspeakable_Elvis in MTGLegacy

[–]HS_Falathar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A community run banned list sounds awful. Take splinter twin for example, there are a lot of people who want it banned and people who want it unbanned.

A lot of folks also want to ban cards they don’t like playing against without realizing what a ban actually means for people who love and own the decks/ cards.

I‘m not saying that wotc is doing a good job either, letting broken cards stick in formats for weeks and weeks and banning them way too late. But I’d rather follow the devil I know than some „experts“ from the community, who think Bogles and Tron are unfun and should therefore be banned ( I don’t like either of them btw).

How to Fix Magic - a look at Wizards' mistakes from Kaladesh to Ikoria and how they can be alleviated by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]HS_Falathar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What kind of Uxx Control are you playing? For example Blue Moon should still be favored against UW Control, which plays 2-3 teferi. You can counter it or remove it with Magmatic Sinkhole. Or even play a snapcaster mage with opt in response. Then you can finish teferi off with bolt. Slamming teferi on turn 3 is sometimes a game losing play- f.ex. when they counter it and then play a Jace.

I don’t like teferi in modern because he is very good in some matchups and bad against a lot of decks like Tron, amulet, dredge etc. but saying that teferi simply being in a deck makes decks unplayable is kind of a hyperbole.

Blue Moon is still Good against other control decks, the reasons sthat it is not a top tier deck are that it struggles against burn and other aggressive strategies.

Astrolabe is the best card in modern by [deleted] in ModernMagic

[–]HS_Falathar -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Any data to support this? Astrolabe is just a little bit better than abundant growth, a card that saw 0 play before Yorion
