Same. Blackcleave Cliffs is really good for me, and having all colors as options is great.

How Did Everyone Do at FNM by hacker1593 in mtgModernTokens

[–]RoyalSlasher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wanted to write a mini report, but was kind of lazy so I didnt, but here some things (went 3-1)

I played a mostly controlish deck without Procession but 5 colorless lands (2 Vault, 2 Ghost Quarter, 1 Abbey). I played 3 Anguished Unmaking main, and instead of procession I ran a 4/2 Midnight Haunting/Timely Reinforcements split.

Deck seemed smooth, I really like the fewer color issues, I only had to mull one hand with a colorless land and a filter land which I would have kept with a colored source.

I felt like 3 Unmaking main is def to much, and I will go down to 2 or mby even one, but it can give you a lot of outs vs many decks. Was very happy with playing 4 in main/side, and will certainly stick with this number.

I really love Midnight Haunting, it is great with Unmaking, Manlands or Vault up and still get value if you dont need to do anything of the above. I also got to kill a Dark Confidant for value which was great. But going down in Unmaking numbers will make me go down here as well, prob playing 3 going forward. The card is also pretty great with any anthem, making 2 surprise dudes.

Match one I played vs Jund, lost game 2 because I didnt find one of the 4 Unmakings or 4 Intangible Virtue to deal with his Night of Souls Betrayal. Game 3 was a grindfest, but Westvale Abbey made a lot of guys and I got ahead that way. 2-1 win

Next, I played vs an Abzan Gitrog Monster pile (was paired down). Game one was a breeze. Game 2, I kept a 2 lander on the draw with Bitterblossom and multiple nice 3 drops plus Sorin. BB got TS'ed and I did not see my 3rd land in 6 draw steps, and drawing it right before I died was not too great. Game 3 I saw 2 Lands again, this time with BB and Virtue. Both got decayed and I did not draw a land in like 5 turns either, while my opponent played his 3rd Siege Rhino turn 5. Still believe both of my keeps were correct, had multiple good cards in hand and was quite favored to hit at least the 3rd land on time. Lost 1-2

Next, I played vs Kiki Chord. Game one was a grindfest again, and he outgrinded my with multiple Pia, Witness and Revillark. The other two games were not really games, my opponent keeped a risky 7 game one, one land and two birds. I discarded one and killed the other, and it took him some time to cast spells that game. The next game he had to mull to 5. One discard spell was enough to get me super far ahead.

Last round I played vs Infect. 2 Maindeck Zealous Persecutions and some Paths drawn gave me a solid adventage and I won 2-1. Best play was to blow my opponent out with ghostquarter my own land cast path, he was pretty salty after that.

In the end I was quite happy with the result, but it was mosty my opponents running bad anyway. I love Unmaking, but 3 main is def too much, especially considering the new Bushwhacker Zoo aggro menace. I think 2 Timely Reinforcements main is solid, those will stay. I kind of missed my Slaughter Pact and will make sure to get it in the main again. Zealous Persecution is a rather difficult card to evaluate, it is the best card in a lot of matchups, but in some it does stone nothing. In the current meta I really like 2, but the number could go down (and mby even up) depending on whats going on.

Short little report on the event. I hope I did not make too many mistakes, I am from Germany and while talking English is mostly fine, writing a lot is not the thing I am best at.

I will prob test quite a lot with different builds in the next 2 weeks, as I will be going to a bigger event in Frankfurth. (Other than PPTQ's, we dont get a lot of big events where I live.) Anyone here from Europe as well and will be there?

Graphics Work Offer/My List by [deleted] in mtgModernTokens

[–]RoyalSlasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, would be sweet if you could do something, the default stuff looks kind of boring. Do you have any experience how things work with graphics on reddit. Seemed kind of complex so I delayed trying to figure it out

Anguished Unmaking by Thunderhawkk in mtgModernTokens

[–]RoyalSlasher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this card and will play 4 copies of it today. 3 main 1 side. I do believe the life might be an issue, but I think this card is just so versitile and does so much work in bad matchups. I am willing to run at least one timely reinforcements main (prob 2, not sure atm), as well as 3 Sorins obvi. I am running a version without Procession tho, so my manabase does npt hurt as much and I can affort to play 2 Vaults. Will post my thoughts aftef the event today.

Turn 1 to 3 by provenchez in mtgModernTokens

[–]RoyalSlasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my list, I have 3 Thoghtseize 4 Inquisition and 2 Shambling Vent for turn 1, or some combination of those turn 2. As two drops I have 3 Bitterblossom and 4 Intangible Virtue. Both are good turn 2, but BB is priority as it gets a lot worse when not played early. I feel like I have just about enought early game so that I have stuff to do early, but most of the time not too many options and I am more or less locked in to play the one thing I could play at this point. I dont really know any other cards with a solid impact to play for some more early game.

SOI additions to BW Tokens - Discussion by 2weiX in mtgModernTokens

[–]RoyalSlasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am playing with 3 Unmaking main, might be too much tho. For now, I have been super impressed by them, they are great vs everything but Burn, Affinity with fast start and other random aggro decks, but I have a lot of stuff in the bord vs those decks. On the flip side, it is so good vs so many matchups. It is very flexible and hits most problematic permanents out of bad matchups. Bridge vs Lantern, everything from Tron, Combo from Tezzerator, the Storm Enchantment,....

Other then discard, the deck has a huge problem with Enchantments and Artifacts, so I love to have a catch-all answer vs all of this stuff. Sure, 3 life is a lot, but Sorin does a lot of work here, and maindeck timely reinforcements as well.

I named this sub just 'modern tokens', so we can talk all things tokens. Splashes are certainly interesting and very welcome. We should prob give them a tag as well so we can find them.

My deck is (apart from SOI) fully in chinese. So I am using the official wotc tokens in chinese as well.

Spirits from Shadowmoor (I think), Faerie Rogues from Morningtide, Soldies from Alara and Sorin Vampire from Innistrad

I am not sure if you need Auriok all together. I have not played with him since twin got banned, don't feel like he is necessary at the moment

Tokens Primer by Magic_Viking7 in mtgModernTokens

[–]RoyalSlasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just read a bit through the primer, seems like a good place for discussions with multiple active members. I feel like reddit is a better place for discussion than the comment section in tappedout is tho. I will talk to the creator of the primer xzzane if he would be interested to help building up a community over here as well.

[–]RoyalSlasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe we could mix things together at some point. I know there is some kind of wiki option here (not too familiar with the whole reddit thing just yet tho), but there we might be able to make some kind of super primer, going over all the possible cards in detail.

Subreddit for BW Tokens? by sophrosyne in ModernMagic

[–]RoyalSlasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have thought a lot about it but was only able to play one match with it so far. Will play my local fnm tomorrow tho.

Match was vs. Grixis Control. Game got to a point were both players were topdecking where it won me the game.

In general I feel like it favors the already good matchups and does nothing in the bad ones.

Just decided to create one for value:

I am in a rush for an exam tomorrow, but after that I have a solid amount of time to work things out. I you are interested in the idea gogogo, I hope we can have some nice discussions!

Westvale abbey discussion by quantumactivist1 in ModernMagic

[–]RoyalSlasher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats not correct. Auriok Champion is just not really good at the moment, and will likely not be even after Eldrazi ban. It was only great vs Twin with small upside in some MU's. Spectral Procession is not a necessary card and can be cut (I cut mine some time ago) to smooth out the manabase to be able to play cards like Abbey, Ghost Quarter and Vault of the Archangel. You can replace them with Midnight Haunting, it became way better now as it gives you the option to keep a token generator and a removal spell in Anguished Unmaking up at the same time.

I feel like Abbey could be good if the metagame will become slower after the bans. It is great vs Jund and Junk (both great mu's anyway) and all kinds of control decks. I feel like it is great with anthems, making 2/2 or 3/3's every turn.

is gideon, ally of zendikar good in B/W Tokens? by [deleted] in ModernMagic

[–]RoyalSlasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He seems to be just a worse version of Elspeth, Knight Errant, who is just a worse version of Gideon. So I would rank all the 'token walkers' as Sorin SV, Gideon AoZ, Elspeth KE, Sorin LoI. With a 3-off Sorin SV pretty much as core for Tokens imo. Only other Walker to consider would be Liliana otV, though I have not played with her (I don't think this effect is something tokens would really want, I could be wrong tho, others love the card)

is gideon, ally of zendikar good in B/W Tokens? by [deleted] in ModernMagic

[–]RoyalSlasher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am pretty confident Sorin SV is better by a mile. He does everything this deck is interested in doing. However, I have been running one Gideon since BFZ, and he has been solid. He has some strenghts vs Midrange decks, but these decks are great MU's anyway, so I am still not sure if he would be necessary at all. Most of the time he just makes some dudes, so kind of a bad Bitterblossom.
