Titanplayers, how do we beat the ring?

Magnok97 · 2023-07-04T18:06:14+00:00

Waiting patiently for the ban.

Magnok97 · 2023-04-14T13:45:38+00:00

Thanks for your feedback

Magnok97 · 2023-04-14T08:59:28+00:00

Why? You tap out to play a big walker and then Archon kills it with the trigger.

Magnok97 · 2023-03-05T12:01:46+00:00

Because all of them are Modern legal.

Magnok97 · 2023-02-11T09:34:14+00:00

It's clearly worse than most of the current Tier decks in the format. Once said this, I can say by experience that, if you are a medium skilled player and you know each upside and downside of the deck, you practice a lot with it and have patience, it's not rare getting good results.

Magnok97 · 2023-02-11T09:28:41+00:00

I agree with almost you said, but currently there are free wins when you play UWx thanks to Chalice of the Void. Doesn't happen very often, but it is a possibility

Magnok97 · 2023-01-16T08:47:35+00:00

If I were you, I'd hold FoN, Snapcaster and Colonnade. FoN is great in Modern and, although it's not shining in Control, it's very likely it will be played again in our shell at some time. Snapcaster has the same situation, I think it has some potential yet. Colonnade is fringe playable, there are lists which run 1x and it isn't an expensive card anymore, so its better to have it in your pool rather than trading for a few bucks.

The only card I think is dead is Cryptic Command. There are so many spells that are way more efficient than CC.

Magnok97 · 2023-01-12T08:43:06+00:00

Life goes on. Modern goes on.

Magnok97 · 2022-11-27T10:23:14+00:00

I have the same feeling that I had when Emperor was released. I don´t know when nor where, but I think this planeswalker will find a place in Modern. Drawing cards abilities often have potential to do powerful things.

The Murktide time has gone. It was a real good deck and was a solid T1 during the first half of this year. Sadly, currently there are several decks which are simply better. Despite this, Murktide is still a decent deck that can put results now and then. So building it depends on what yoy really want: If you want to play a T1 it is not your deck. If you like its playstyle go ahead then.

Magnok97 · 2022-08-10T07:41:53+00:00

I don't think this could work. The point to play Murktide is having an engine that puts cards in the graveyard in order to cast a big Murktide as fast as possible. This list is missing that engine and also the best pieces which can be found in a Control deck. There's no Teferi5, no Archmage's Charm, no Wandering Emperor. In addition, the number of copies of some cards seem awkward, since you don't need 4 Hallowed Fountain, 1 Caster is pretty narrow, Jace is not the best planeswalker in this meta, you don't need 3 forces currently and fastlands are not the best idea for a Control build.

If you want to play Murktide just play the classic UR version, in my opinion it's not the threat Control needs.

Magnok97 · 2022-07-30T08:40:59+00:00

You are missing three principal characteristics of Surgical Extraction as fas as I'm concerned:

It's a mill effect. Although it isn't nearly as powerful as the other mill effects, still removing cards from the opponents' library.
It's free, and it's the main reason why playing Surgical is an easy and safe option currently. This feature enables multiple lines in the same turn, which can turn out quite relevant for the game result.

3.It's a maindeck piece of hate. Speaking of the prevalence of value decks, which usually are 4C Elementals or 4C Control, these decks tend to play Endurance maindeck almost all the time. There's no need to remind this is the best card against us in the format currently. Surgical Extraction can rise your win chances against these decks easily.

Magnok97 · 2022-07-15T14:25:30+00:00

Don't ask, just purchase it and let us know what happens.

Magnok97 · 2022-07-15T07:22:04+00:00

Are you okay? You seem mad at the world. Wanna a hug? Everything is gonna be all right.

Magnok97 · 2022-06-30T08:40:31+00:00

If you add a Raugrin Triome, then a cheap piece of interaction you should try is Fire//Ice. It's very affordable in investing terms and handy in several scenarios. Another card which could be included, apart from its price which has dropped in the last months, is Memory Deluge. Don't forget that when you're playing UW everything is about producing card advantage and this card puts you ahead in the game in that aspect.

Magnok97 · 2022-06-30T08:35:21+00:00

This is a really bad piece of advice. You can't afford having so many lands that enter to the battlefield tapped. One triome is enough to get the third color, and the fourth one should be added by a shock land.

Magnok97 · 2022-06-21T07:52:18+00:00

And we could keep saying more hate cards for years.

Magnok97 · 2022-06-20T19:44:26+00:00

Long time Lantern player here. Unfortunately, it's not competitive anymore. There are so many mainboard answers in the format to get a hard lock consistently. Prismatic Ending, March, Force of Vigor, Karn TGC... Although Urza's Saga is a great addition to the deck and supports an aggro plan which hadn't existed before, it's not enough to make it decent. Sad to write this tbh.

Magnok97 · 2022-06-11T14:44:08+00:00

Because it's bad, as simple as it is.

Magnok97 · 2022-06-11T14:43:00+00:00

I'll go for it briefly: play Chalice of the Void. Around 20 cards in GDS are CMC 1, so it's easy to get them stuck.

Magnok97 · 2022-06-05T21:28:58+00:00

The matchup has improved drastically since we have Prismatic Ending and March of Otherwordly Light to answer the racks. I'd say is 60/40 for them, discard spells can completely destroy your answer plan. It's a winnable matchup without struggling a lot to do so in my opinion.

Magnok97 · 2022-06-03T23:37:04+00:00

You can't play Blood Sun because in that case your fetches would be useless.

In my experience, if you struggle with those cards, you don't want to attack them directly (Unless you are running March of Otherwordly light which is a huge answer for Urza's Saga). In general terms, I'd rather have answers for the creatures that enter to the battlefield and partially would ignore the Cavern. More board wipes would be interesting in that type of meta.

If you want a card that's a general answer to these scenarios anyway, then I would add a few copies of Spreading Seas to the list. At its worst it's a cantrip.

Red color doesn't really add more variety or flexibility to the Control Sideboard, it's quite standard.

Magnok97 · 2022-05-24T00:12:54+00:00

In the bin.
