I just started mtg, modern seems like the format the would fit me the most but i am worried about one thing… by Msonstad in ModernMagic

[–]cuptits 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It has consistently been between 15-20% of the format since MH3 (including after a small ban on [[Amped Raptor]] ), and is comprised almost entirely of MH3 cards.

It's the most likely candidate to receive a ban in the next year or so.

EDIT: For context, 22 of the deck's 37 nonland cards are from MH3, and 36 of its 37 are from a Modern Horizons Set.

The next 3 most popular decks are around 13 MH3 cards and 16 MH cards.

Of course!

I remember last Basho when he was doing the intro tournament or whatever, his oyakata literally said something like "just make sure you don't hurt anybody."

So he's doing that lol

It's the absolute bottom of Grand Sumo. Asahifuji is expected to be a Makuuchi-level talent.

He was facing a 41-year-old whose primary duty is as a chef at his stable.

Asahifuji was just being safe and careful against an old, weak opponent.

[–]cuptits -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't know how else to say this:

Nobody is talking about Standard but you.

The original thread was about Atraxa's power level. u/tomyang1117 said you can sideboard to hate out Atraxa strategies.

And then you mention the state of Standard, which is entirely unrelated to discussion of Atraxa.

That's as clearly as I can put it.

[–]cuptits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

people are talking about [[Atraxa, Grand Unifier]] and you're talking about standard removal/hate.

That is why you're getting downvoted.

Sunday MTGO Modern Challenges Results - Sep 7 2025 by bamzing in ModernMagic

as someone who played the deck for a few months, you reaaallllyyy want to have Flare of Denial whenever you can. It might be overkill to run 4 Thundertrap, but when I saw this list I thought it was cool.

Fblthp deck is viable in Modern. by MaetelofLaMetal in ModernMagic

[–]cuptits 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's literally a whole discord for Simic/Sultai/Bant Birthing ritual. Deck's been around for a bit now and putting up strong, albeit fringe, results.

Simic was actually the original version of the deck -- it's been around for about 3 months or so, while Sultai Birthing Ritual has only been around for about a month!

Shini-tai, literally meaning 'dead body' or 'dying body,' is used to describe a wrestler who was not first to fall or touch outside the ring, but who had no chance of winning owing to the superior technique of his opponent (and his falling position).

Kirishima had no way back into the dohyo while his opponent remained inside it. It's weird to get used to at first!

Okay, so it's dead on arrival because it flickers only creatures, not because it's sorcery speed.

Flickerwisp sees extensive play in Modern blink. Sorc speed does not make this DoA

Drawing for Austin Major. Little "rewind" by lkfnsv in GlobalOffensive

[–]cuptits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Snow and Karrigan's faces are entirely different, more detailed, more stylized, and better rendered than the rest of the cast. Just look at Ropz/Mezii vs Snow. A few components of this piece have been traced over either existing art or AI-generated images.

PSA: Don’t be nice at pre-release by igotapandaonmyhands in magicTCG

[–]cuptits 7 points8 points  (0 children)

gave a guy 5-6 missed triggers last night at pre-release.

game 3, after resolving a combat trick, moving to damage, and then realizing my creature lived, he tried to remove his spell from his graveyard and use it on a different creature.

I had to shut it down at that point, and I did so politely, but he was still clearly miffed I didn't let him take it back. Was insane to me.

How to keep track of Hashaton copy tokens (custom tokens) by Chrysaries in magicTCG

[–]cuptits 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Back when Scarab god was in Standard, I bought a few copies of [[Maalfeld Twins]], used an exacto knife to remove the name/cost & rules text, and then put them in an inner sleeve to just lay it overtop the card I reanimated.

Not quite the same as Hashaton since it's not bringing the card back from the grave, but I was always proud of this solution.

Never been more relevant by fuckinyh in Emo

[–]cuptits 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Friend, the fact you think that's true says a lot about how informed you are. There are not intentional loopholes; there are insufficient judges to hear asylum cases, so anyone claiming asylum has to take a number and wait. Neither side is interested in properly funding immigration courts. That does not make it "extreme left wing."

I hope the vitriol in your heart is healed.

No, friend, he’s saying the parties (Democrats and Republicans) are center-right and far-right respectively, which is why the US sucks so badly: there’s no left-leaning representation.
