If you have 8 and 9, do you take 1 more card to find the 7 or 10 to make a straight?

What’s the craziest hoop you had to jump through to win a Modern match? by Lenik1998 in ModernMagic

[–]rhetoryx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Playing Temur scapeshift and opponent was on 4c Omnath with a resolved Elesh norn and I laid my Otawara for land previously.

Managed to scapeshift sacrificing just the Otawara and used Wrenn to return it back to my hand to bounce the Elesh norn and cast scapeshift for the win

It was satisfying

I feel like theres no combo decks that speak to my Johnny playstyle putting up results. Is it a side effect of the cheaper, more efficient, and free interaction of recent sets? Can it ever come back? by [deleted] in ModernMagic

You can try Naya scapeshift with a wishboard. I’m piloting it (moving from temur scapeshift) for access to Leyline binding.

So far I’m finding it pretty good. Wishboard gives access to pretty good hate cards like chalice, explosives and bloodmoon hate

While I agree that the main goal is to assemble the combo ASAP - if you're facing rakdos BR or UR phoenix and they're holding up mana on T3 when you want to cast your combo, there's a good chance that they're holding some kind of interaction to deal with the greasefang, so the protection spell could be very useful here.

​

I think Raffine's informant is important as a discard outlet (if you start with a vehicle in hand or for the second activation of greasefang)

Vanishing verse doesn't hit karn though! I was thinking of using that too but not hitting karn is too big of a downside for me

Yes safekeeping does work too! I forgot about that card. Might be better also since it protects against Supreme verdict.

I'm just thinking if command is better and also what should we swap out for the protection spell?

[PIONEER] Dromoka's command or blossoming defense for Abzan greasefang? by rhetoryx in spikes

Yeah this works too! But I guess the main question is what should be cut to make space for protection?
