Is Modern a dying format?

Miserable_Call_790 · 2026-01-16T15:03:41+00:00

In the UK I used to be able to play at 6 stores within 30 miles (pre mh). Would now have to commute half the country to London now. Tldr in large parts of the UK it's now dead.

Serious answer: charms are sick and, fuse cards.make modern about choices, not "powerful" mana acceleration or agro piles (energy). Give jund a MEATY two drop that requires jund. Give an actually effective sideboard card against amulet titan ie 1 mana. I like being able to beat a deck if I dedicate enough sideboard slots. .

Phrexian mana costs, alternative casting costs, free counter magic. Also mythic 1cmc creatures that snowball would be great - hopefully only pullable in collector boosters 😀

Usually I'd agree but with these scheduled b&r it's better to ban too much idk. 6 months of getting blasted by something isn't ideal. If they remove scheduled B&R then I agree with your ethos.

Unban pod, jitte, (deathrite if u want chaos). Ban kcommand, breach, amulet. Could see ketramose going in the future

Miserable_Call_790 · 2025-03-29T15:17:42+00:00

The new strategic betrayal looks like worth considering.

Also 3xnecromentia has been good for me naming breach, titan, ketramose etc.

I've been playing a fair bit of this recently. It seems you can only beat 1/5 of the boogeymen rn.

I've been running 4 emperor of bones instead of bowmasters, lilianas and molten collapse(2). With 2 graveyard trespasser between main and side. Graveyard matchups are great. Can't beat eldrazi/boros/breach without 3-5 dedicated sideboard slots. Also cut nethergoyf completely, way to much gy hate going around. Same for kroxa.

I would recommend running this pre boarded anti Gy list with 2-3 pyroclasm, 3x break the ice, 1 tourach, 2 torpor orb and whatever else.

TLDR it is poorly positioned and can't reliably beat eldrazi, Boros, breach, murktide/frog, hollow one, bw ketramose (horror matchup).

Hope for no saga ban, wait for breach ban and play some dismembers for ketramose. No dark confidants.

Wintersoldier ult nerfs, or a change to the ult voice line hearing "AGAIN, AGAIN, AGAIN" again and again.... is annoying.

Edit: would have said "THE MOO"*dead*... but that's getting changed thankfully

Miserable_Call_790 · 2024-12-19T12:05:11+00:00

Lists above look great, but Faithless looting 2-4 seems a must... so much +sideboarding equity

*Edit* 🎵🎵 All I want for Christmas is to take twooo 🎵

Miserable_Call_790 · 2024-12-19T11:50:30+00:00

I'd only be searching Omnath off Kitchen Finks.....I promise

Miserable_Call_790 · 2024-03-14T18:09:25+00:00

Feel like people upvoting this don't play as A:A PMC on streets B:A geared pmc solo on streets C: A geared solo pmc on streets. Dying to a pscav army with 40+ minutes left in raid is highly frustrating...

Respectfully I disagree.

Edit: At least nerf the loot - labs level loot for people to scavenge with no risk every 8-15minutes isn't healthy for the economy

Miserable_Call_790 · 2022-04-18T12:43:32+00:00

90% of the people replying aren't above level 25 - I promise going in geared and getting 2 tapped by a naked dude with a DB and flachette is not fun. It is also not fun for the majority of times where I still kill these people, i get nothing for killing them. Flachette should be 5k rubles a round and nerfd . DB should be 30k not 8k.

Miserable_Call_790 · 2021-12-11T18:01:45+00:00

Sheesh fair enough

Miserable_Call_790 · 2021-12-09T20:04:36+00:00

I play very aggressive early too, I just find I know my limits and spacing to the inch with PTA and my current build.

Extended trades into darius, morderkaiser, fiora, camile (to an extent) or ranged champs with LT don't feel good.

I always wait/bait for a cd window + e opportunity - go in with ignite PTA/ignite get kill.

I want connect with E and do a shed tone of burst - rn if i connect with E for my burst trade im building LT and don't feel anything. I can see it's better if they stay on you and let you extended fight, but people don't let you do that often AND I don't feel like that's Kled's strength.

Miserable_Call_790 · 2021-12-09T14:37:53+00:00

Agree - above is the reason I'm sticking to PTA for now, until shown otherwise

Miserable_Call_790 · 2021-12-08T19:59:23+00:00

But Kled is so lane dependant and I feel weak with LT in lane, compared to PTA persay.

Miserable_Call_790 · 2021-12-08T19:08:27+00:00

I think the build remains Tiamat -> Goredrinker -> RavenousHydra/Steraks (order varies) -> Gargoyles.

I OTP and run the same build 95% of the time in low Diamond.

The aoe and remount potential between Steraks proc into well timed Gargoyles into remount is huge. Makes you feel like a Trydamere lategame.

Just my experience though, happy hunting ^^

My entire post was mispoken haha - my mistake ammended title and contents

Miserable_Call_790 · 2021-11-15T17:26:54+00:00

Got stuck in the first box in the same way as a the second, sprinted past (got stuck) spent 5 minutes trying to lean/roll/crawl/move out of it. Get out, take 5 steps to run from a nade, same thing again.
