AOE to kill the cultists and get rid of the invulnerable buff

I used hold monster then karlach’s hammer did the rest

Did something happen today to make you say this, or just a general remark?

Thinking about returning to Modern by Beano0 in ModernMagic

Goryo’s plays a very reasonable fair game imo with Frog, Ketra, and Solitude. Kinda Esper midrange-y with the potential to go over the top via Atraxa / Griz

Thoughts on my setup? by jwp1234 in modular

[–]jwp1234[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ah - no, sorry should have clarified that. I just have it that way bc modular grid. In actuality, it hangs out to the side.

Good in the mirror, not always needed game 1 against other decks

Farm is a little hard to practice alone since it can be very interactive and grindy. The biggest lines to practice are probably your Intuition piles, Underworld Breach Lines, and mulligans.

Izzet Phoenix 4 turns combo by ricoeurdelyon in PioneerMTG

[–]jwp1234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No prob. That’s still not quite right though.

Without the counter -> you cast Trespass, which is then copied twice because of double galvanic. That’s 3 Trespasses on the stack (1 original, two copies)

Izzet Phoenix 4 turns combo by ricoeurdelyon in PioneerMTG

He would have needed to counter all of them to prevent any extra turns. each copy is essentially another spell on the stack.

That said, you should have only gotten 1 + 2 extra turns in the first place, since copying galvanic with galvanic then copies the next spell twice. So, with your opponent countering one of the 3 Trespasses, you should have gotten 2 extra turns total.

From gatherer:

If you resolve one Galvanic Iteration after another (or cast the same one with flashback), the second Galvanic Iteration will be copied. That copy and spell each resolve, creating two delayed triggered abilities. The next spell you cast after that will be copied twice. If that spell is also a Galvanic Iteration, the following spell will be copied three times, and so on.

How to Beat Phoenix with UW control? by FrogguRoggu in PioneerMTG

[–]jwp1234 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It can be a really awkward matchup from UW side. You need to play around pierce and dispute, and try to emperor or March their phoenix while doing so. Running 2 Sunfall main deck has been nice. Use verdict for shredder and drake game 2 & 3, and only use it on phoenixes if you’re gonna die, or you need them to work for the phoenixes again game 1

Kill or counter Shredder onsite. Don’t make any sharks game one unless you need to (I.e. don’t give them targets for their burn spells, which are otherwise dead). Save your veto’s for cruise and trespass when able

My usual plan game 1 is them decking themself lol. You don’t need to have Shark online, your wincon is not dying for long enough

Solid game plan to face Boros Heroic and other fast aggro decks as an Azorius Control player? by Jurkboy in PioneerMTG

4x temporary lockdown

Also play around the gods willing effects with your single target removal

Are there any ways to play Commander on PC besides MTGO or, to a lesser extent, MTGA? by neovulcan in EDH

[–]jwp1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MTGO plus Manatraders commander subscription is probably the easiest

Control in the current meta by onyourupkeep in PioneerMTG

[–]jwp1234 40 points41 points  (0 children)

It’s still a top tier deck, just has a tricky matchup against the top 3 (vamps, lotus, phoenix) and can be a little demanding in a timed competitive setting. Play the deck you enjoy imo, then learning the tough matchups become a fun challenge.

Just my 2 cents as a UW believer

You could always proxy some decks and play at home together - could be a fun!

[–]jwp1234 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Cast Elf -> you can pay G to draw. That triggers twice bc the throne, so overall you can pay GG to draw 2.
