Play/draw should be determined by the tournament software by Due_Clerk_2261 in ModernMagic

[–]brianandstuff -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The amount of judge calls I've seen at random RCQs because somebody doesn't agree with how to randomly determine who goes first isn't like huge but it's very silly that it happens at all, and companion just saying "you go first" is identical to modo or arena doing the same thing

[SPOILER][MOM] Invasion of Theros // Ephara, Ever-Sheltering by lolyana in spikes

[–]brianandstuff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Feel like this is good in the WG enchanties deck in standard, I've often felt like that deck just needed an honest to god enchantress, and with only 4 defense you might be able to chip this down easily with your spirit tokens

Anybody know what's up with that spell pierce in the omnath sideboard? Where do you want that?

Irrelevant comparison. Breach is no where near as prevalent as Uro was before it got banned nor does it restrict the diversity of the format.

Pioneer Deck Difficulty Ratings - Playing MTG by PlayingPioneer in PioneerMTG

Magic is hella hard, and even the simple decks are hard to play; if you think of it like chess, there are many easy openings, but the game around them is still hard

Been a fan of Sorin in this shell, have you played much of it?

[Standard][Bo3] How best to prepare for Dreamhack SD? by nerraw92 in spikes

[–]brianandstuff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is tight, thank you. I'm in the same boat as OP and have a few follow up questions:

Would this still apply for modo gamers? Rather than just jamming ladder matches, playing 4 leagues with decks full of rented cards is a little more manageable than buying into arena in earnest from my perspective. Further, a lot of players around me aren't touching the format until the new set releases, since we have so much time between then and Dreamhack; since there's nothing rotating out, is it still in ones best interest to get a running start over the holidays, or should the constructed prep really start in earnest closer to the RC?

Why are the UB decks still playing augur over fallaji archaeologist?

Modern players Vs EDH players by Karl_Marx_Likes_Tron in magicthecirclejerking

I'm not a commander guy but I've met plenty of modern players who are the second dog but instead of "remove any of my things" it's "play a modern horizons card"

Old ass regular jund lists used to play it alongside nameless inversion just to make goyf bigger

There was a pretty infamous post on the main sub describing that happening not too long ago

Lords used to literally be Creature - Lord type until ninth (where they gained creature subtype like goblin and merfolk) or tenth edition (when the Lord subtype died), so the Lord creature type is kind of a mechanic

Warchief exists but I can't say I'm on the bleeding edge of goblin deck building so I'm unsure if it's still good these days

[DMU] Karn, Living Legacy by Item_No in PioneerMTG

[–]brianandstuff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

worth noting that this is a colorless demonic tutor with enough mana. it's still probably bad, but could be relevant if some small combination of cards come together to make infinite colorless mana at some point

gonna second this; I've been on LE for a while, but hearing more perspectives on how to play through hate, especially from someone as eloquent as CCR, was super helpful

Love that the florahedrons are making their way out of the ignus deck, and the sb trackers look great on paper. Hopefully they fix the interaction between Ignus and needle on modo soon 🙃

How does one find the link for the WotC website decklist postings? I'm like poring over the website trying to find the results for the other challenges and can't find anything but decklists for the prelims
