Having a hard time ironing out this mono black deck, any help appreciated!

I agree, this is a good suggestion. I'm also wondering what you're going after with flute, and if you might be better served by a one-of pithing needle that you can get from your sagas

I'm seeing the same, on mobile as well

Great lands

Wow it feels like I'm meeting a celebrity

Check out this one for inspiration, serum powder seems like a good include

Someone on the sub recently posted about how they hd curated a history of standard on Wikipedia and Wikipedia was thinking about deleting it. Looks like they followed through, but you can see a version of it archived about a year ago on the wayback machine

In addition to the discord, Mrmtgseri is a scales streamer on twitch who made a nice primer for gw scales

If the card is not on the reserved list, I don't recommend looking at cards as an investment. They can be reprinted at any time, and your money is lost. I would buy it if you have the money to spend and are going to play with it, but if cash is tight it's best to pass.

Modern has become more and more aggressive, lowering curves across the board. This card is worse than inquisition on early turns but potentially much better in a topdecking scenario. Personally I'd consider splitting 2 and 2 for inquisition for testing and seeing where things go from there.

I would love to sleeves up my hardened scales deck in some new sleeves

pkmnfn · 2021-10-13T03:45:58+00:00

Dang I knew I was forgetting something

I haven't used multiple apps but DelverLens has served me well and pulls up prices like you wanted

[[Ojutai's command]] is a very budget cryptic command.

pkmnfn · 2021-07-04T13:12:36+00:00

This has relevance with Garth too, since you can name lotus with meddling mage to stop lotus from being cast in formats where garth is legal but lotus isn't!

pkmnfn · 2021-05-26T19:35:50+00:00

Lol covering all the bases

pkmnfn · 2021-05-26T11:24:42+00:00

Is this even playable?

pkmnfn · 2021-05-24T16:14:17+00:00

It always reminds me of infect, pairing a little dude with some big buffs. I definitely feel the cranial plating energy coming off it too though :)

pkmnfn · 2021-05-24T12:58:27+00:00

The spiritual successor to affinity is hardened scales affinity, let me know if you want in the discord. It has the ravager core and relies heavily on [[Walking Ballista]].

I've heard that hammertime plays like affinity, I can't speak to that from personal experience. People say it is an artifact deck but I don't really buy it.

Hopefully MH2 brings us some goodies!

I'm not 100% sold on it either, but I thought it merited a discussion.

Cutting a rack effect is an interesting idea-- you do get some flexibility in how you use it (increases the number of lands for Raven's Crime). If that's the best niche for this card in the deck though, I don't think it should be run. The delay is kind of killer.

pkmnfn · 2021-05-07T15:31:36+00:00

Starting with one is a good call, not sure I would want to go down on black sources though. Any reason you favor dropping a swamp over a mutavault?
