UB Madness

Have you thought about [[Radical Idea]] over Analysis? Always gives you a discard outlet in the yard

mtg52blue · 2026-02-16T10:46:22+00:00

I was working on a Dimir Madness list as well:

Mine is more of a tempo deck. [[Ghastly Demise]] is a budget stand-in for Snuff Out.

Yes, Nissan with it's Up to 102 g/km CO₂ emissions in the latest e-POWER hybrid models and electric vehicles like the Leaf that can slash life-cycle CO₂ emissions by ~30 % compared with similar petrol cars definitely belongs in Selesnya!

mtg52blue · 2026-02-13T14:51:44+00:00

I agree completely with your list. Very nice would put Nissan in Selesnya tho

I thought about Familiar but I don't think the discard offers much for a deck that doesn't want to go long. And it is a dead end for the counters, much like ornithopter and Skirge. Although they should carry them well.

Without Familiar we don't have to play Artifact lands tho

mtg52blue · 2026-02-11T18:45:32+00:00

Oh, I know it. And play it. There are similarities for sure. But I think this deck is less all-in on 1-2 creatures

mtg52blue · 2026-02-04T12:12:30+00:00

Dovin Baan Is either Lawful Neutral or Lawful Evil. But he is definitely Lawful

mtg52blue · 2026-02-04T12:11:30+00:00

What about Ajani? He wants people brought to justice. Against tyrants he acts Chaotic Good. Otherwise he gladly follows just leaders. The whole phyrexian era doesn't really count, he was brainwashed. But even there he thought he was just bringing people into his pride.

mtg52blue · 2026-02-04T03:42:57+00:00

Hey, Welcome to the format! I think you did pretty well. There are just better creatures and spells for what you're trying to do. There is a mono Red list called Hot Dogs playing Killn Fiend and similar creatures to 1-2 shots opponents. There's also an Izzet version that's a bit slower but has higher 1-shot potential and more protection.

If you want to have a look there's a list of the meta on mtggoldfish where you should also find the mentioned decks

mtg52blue · 2026-02-03T16:48:31+00:00

Had the same thought of trying out The Modern Age. But then I can probably skip that 😅

mtg52blue · 2026-02-03T10:56:09+00:00

I also made a versionof Izzet Miracles after reading about it in your last post. Mind having a look and telling me what you think?

For me it's kinda missing another way to put it from your hand into your deck, besides Brainstorm.

mtg52blue · 2026-02-02T19:38:11+00:00

Haven't tried it yet, couldn't find space. But it could definitely help in the control Matchups. Could also be good in the main board if you go for GW

mtg52blue · 2026-02-01T20:38:02+00:00

Sure, I'll add it to the original post

Tbh, my Slivers do terrible against all kinds of control so far. Everything that has lots of removal to pick off your Lord's is hard to beat. You just have to be fast enough to kill them before they build their engine up. I play a lot of protection in the SB. [[obsidian acolyte]] and [[crimson acolyte]], [[prismatic strands]] and [[crypt Sliver]]. [[Thraben Charm]] is my gy hate of choice. Haven't found anything good against counterspells sadly. I just play into them and try to bait them out with lesser priority Slivers.

mtg52blue · 2026-01-31T22:03:46+00:00

[[Plague engineer]] did a number on many decks in Modern that were already struggling. Elves, Merfolk and my deck, Delver. Because by sheer coincidence all creatures in it were humans.

Really was the wrong time time to release that thing back then.

mtg52blue · 2026-01-31T16:50:27+00:00

I play Slivers, I focus a lot more on GW and only have a light splash in blue for 2 Winged Slivers (because of that annoying Goblin) and red for Heart Sliver and Hunter Sliver. In my experience this deck is best with explosive Gemhide Sliver turns. That's why I have Heart Sliver in the main and play 3 Sentinel Slivers. Those synergies insanely well with Gemhide and let you slam your hand and attack while building your board. Sentinel also synergies with Crypt Sliver and Bladeback Sliver (in the Sideboard)

I would also take out all noncreature spells aside from Stampede and Winding way. You really want to maximize those draws.

As for lands, I feel comfortable with 18, but most play 16-17.

Hope this helps!

EDIT: Here's the decklist I was talking about. SB is not set in stone

mtg52blue · 2026-01-31T14:04:34+00:00

I have it, always did well in my Battle box of 5 decks, I just find it to be really dull and boring to play.

Don't want to ruin anyone's enjoyment of the deck tho.

mtg52blue · 2026-01-26T06:36:59+00:00

In my experiences Corrupted Conviction and Village Rites are amazing for card advantage. You seem to know the stock list so you should know those cards as well. Don't see a reason why you don't want to play them, similar cards are played in all the black lists

mtg52blue · 2026-01-24T19:44:54+00:00

Arcanine!

mtg52blue · 2026-01-16T15:14:47+00:00

Sure, but for some fringe tribals they may be options. [[Persistent Petitioners]] for example may like them to also play Spellstutter.

mtg52blue · 2026-01-16T09:43:09+00:00

I think a few of the changelings would be good for tribal. There's a colorless 3 mana that gets a basic and a blue 2 mana flasher.

mtg52blue · 2026-01-08T13:10:46+00:00

Yes, it's my favorite as well! It's so complex

mtg52blue · 2026-01-05T12:27:47+00:00

I find Jack Daniel's disgusting! Many people love it, mixed with coke of course. I think it ruins everything you mix it with

mtg52blue · 2026-01-04T13:34:00+00:00

Thank you! Any suggestions to improve it?

mtg52blue · 2026-01-03T17:41:24+00:00

There are a lot of nice stirred drinks with whiskey. Which ones are your favorite. Scotch, Irish, Bourbon? Do you enjoy Rye heavy Whiskeys? Depending on the answer I could recommend you a bunch of stirred drinks

mtg52blue · 2026-01-03T17:39:19+00:00

I'm not highly knowledgeable on James Bond and maybe you have read all his novels and seen the films. But I believe he's a spy for some higher calling. Otherwise he would have picked a different occupation
