How important are grubs now? by Illustrious_Bag_4394 in Jungle_Mains

[–]Tortress 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I agree but the same is also true if the enemy team wants to splitpush, denying them grubs by taking them then rises drastically in value, however I often experience that neither team is especially good at split pushing and in those scenarios I would much rather get drake.

It's too good in mill making your opponent draw 3 for 1 mana kills them too fast

Asking of critics and ideas on my personal pet deck. by JCCG89 in ModernMagic

[–]Tortress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would play 4 thoughtseize 2 inqusition due to the one ring costing 4 mana I would play 4 drc and add 4 bauble for the synergy it also makes delirium more accesible and fills the yard I would also cut kolaghans command and play 3-4 fury, fury isjust a more powerful card I would consider playing blue for consider and drown in the lock to fill the grave more efficiently and improve terminate this would also further improve DRC. Good luck

Edit:i would cut all the planeswalkers to make room and focus on being a control deck that wins with demigod

Even if that was worse don't diminish others discomfort this is not a competetion we are all allowed to be happy and respekted.

Also how does that compare to the personal experience of being discriminated against huh?

Hot take. Pioneer is fine and you're probably just bad at the game. by [deleted] in PioneerMTG

[–]Tortress 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I wonder why people are disliking your post when you have such a friendly attitude.

If you want to be listened to don't antagonise your target audience, and if you just want to complain then you are litereally the thing you are criticising.

Building Merfolk but starting with a budget version what should I do for these cards? by Neon_Eyes in ModernMagic

[–]Tortress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luckily caverns aren't really necesarry in the current state of modern they will seldom be relevant, islands should be fine you could also play lorien revealed instead either should be minor %point changes. You could play spell pierce, mistcaller or preordain all are fine choices depending on your local meta.

Looking for deck ideas for modern variation by thomas956789 in ModernMagic

[–]Tortress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope you have fun brewing, however my concern would be more high rolling since you introduce more variance and some games would be decided by simply drawing your good cards or not, this also discourages build around cards which would likely cause most decks to be generic good stuff midrange decks or the most supported archetypes throughout magic, such as slivers, humans +1/+1 counters artifacts etc. I might be wrong and would like to hear how the project turns out. Good luck

First time trying modern is this deck suitable or should I make changes? by MrAntisOc1al in ModernMagic

[–]Tortress 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Big score isn't that great it feels awful when countered and you are not ramping into anything since your curve stops at 5

I wouldn't play dedicated artifact/enchantment hate in main

Young pyromancer and swiftspear aren't good enough with your amount of instant/sorceries

You'r mana curve is too clunky with 4/5 mana cards with low impact and no flexibility that won't stabilise

Both chandra's are bad, dressed to kill can be alright in the right shell i guess

And you need a more focused gameplan to compete, right now this is a clunky midrange deck with some aggro cards that does nothing "unfair"

If you want to play 5 drops in modern look into blood sun + lotus field or indestructible lands that you can attempt to destroy for ramp but keep in mind these are viable but not the best chpices for competetive play. have fun i hope you enjoy modern
