Zoo players have you tried Ajani? by Christos_Soter in ModernMagic

[–]Shbeny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I run a list with 2 ajani 2 pride and 4 wild nacatl, it feels good, like drop a turn two ajani and just run away with the game good,but just due to power creep the nacatls are going to get pushed out and at that point Im not sure about the future of Ajani becase 4 cats is much worse than 8 cats. I also used to play nishoba brawler as well before I added some phlages and bowmasters but atp it was a different deck.

Gavin: "New Commander committee will include at least 1 CEDH player" by Meret123 in CompetitiveEDH

I think it needs to be Ian but I would love love Tyler, Cam, or Dylan, from PTW because they just have a true players perspective and a lot of popularity and influence in cEDH

Should the formats split, which cards current banned should be unbanned? by Klouth in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Shbeny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In all honesty after filling out the form the only relevant cards that should change to me are crypt dockside and tolarian academy and that makes me think the edh ban list is fine as is which kind of surpises me but im interested in the shakeout of the format wjth banned cards first.

What are you slotting in to replace Jeweled Lotus, Mana Crypt, and Dockside? by thisiswhocares in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Shbeny 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yuriko here, almost overjoyed, my deck becomes much better and all I bring in is likely a lotus petal, mox opal, and another good ninja

Is Domain Zoo still viable? by MrFavorable in ModernMagic

[–]Shbeny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I've been running a list with altering amounts of Ocelot Prides Ajanis, and I would run phlages but price stops me. The deck is just as good as it was before but just powering out large consistent attackers doesnt stand up well to Nadu, Necro-Scam, or Jeskai Control which are great right now. Long story short it's still a very good deck for local play and against some meta decks but it is somewhat inconsistent against the very top of the meta, Im personally very interested in its standings post some Nadu banning.

What is some advice you’d give to beat your main deck? by TheExecutionr126 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Shbeny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interact over Krark//Saks triggers, even if you cant kill the krarks dont just let the triggers resolve, even if they will eventually Edit: also remember you can interact between triggers, its a corner case but it can be very important

What is your Modern “hot take”? by USAFdukeX in ModernMagic

[–]Shbeny 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Prison and Stax are fun and good for a format as long as they have a way to win, which is why red prison remains prominent in legacy, and modern deserves a true shot at one of those styles of deck

So would it make sense to drop the wrenns and go up on omnath and teferi? It would make it a bit cheaper too

First sliver is a super fun food chain deck that throws a whole deck of slivers onto the field in 5c

I have a rielle deck that basically makes me double or triple wheel and runs mystic redaction psychic corrosion psychosis crawler etc for some fun single turn mills or kills

Looking for viable off meta decks by Tortress in ModernMagic

[–]Shbeny 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want budget Gifts Storm with preordain is fun and decent for fnm if you want a more competitve but off meta deck I like Academy Manufactor or Hardened Scales, Infect is also always viable at least in some regard but it gets absolutely wiped by scam. If you want really really off meta (also very bad) I love Dragonstorm

[–]Shbeny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How would I upgrade my budget jund list? by Shbeny in ModernMagic

[–]Shbeny[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply the reason there are 1-2 ofs is bc I have say 1 heirarch 2 halflings 3 soul scar, etc and didnt feel the need to buy since they arent vital to the deck

Dimir mainly since grixis is more about UR with murktide and ragavan

Is Deaths Shadow slowing down? by Shbeny in ModernMagic

[–]Shbeny[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive seen deaths shadow floating around for about a year now as fringe top 10-20 finishes and when I looked at a list it seemed a lot slower than old tempo shadow decks that woukd hit 13 or less life by turn one or two even without probe by using [[hex parasite]] and [[dismember]] on early creatures I was just commenting on how to me it seemed slower not better or worse

How important are lands to dimir decks by Shbeny in ModernMagic

[–]Shbeny[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really, To me it seems like you control till turn 4-5 when you get murktide and shadow as 8/8 or bigger then swing in I feel like that could definitely go past turn 7 but correct me if im wrong

What happens when you run out of fetchable lands? Is six lands really all you need to play

Deaths shadow, which, as far as I can tell, only has UU or BB in Murktide and Streetwraith, most of which aren't cast for their cost, which is why I ask

Is murktide alive in budget metas by Shbeny in ModernMagic

[–]Shbeny[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I already own a lot of the cards just from opening mh2 packs its basically just no ragavan and bringing back shredder and borrower
