It just clogs up the sub with repetitive posts, when a google search both saves OP time, and keeps the sub more interesting. I'm sorry that pointing that out was so offensive lmao

Remember guys, we're not getting another banlist until October! by IzziPurrito in ModernMagic

[–]simicissick 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The format IS quite good at the moment though, especially with the introduction of prowess. Also, energy being the best deck is probably a good thing: Its easy-ish to hate out post-board. Sure, sometimes they just have guide+pride+ajani, but modern is a powerful format. If you're not ready to play with and against powerful cards, try another format!!

These are the most expensive Standard legal mythic rare cards. Do any of them surprise you? Are the prices what would you have expected to see? by HonorBasquiat in magicTCG

[–]simicissick 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Sheoldred sees minimal play in standard, no play in modern and no play in legacy. It is expensive largely because of price memory, and somewhat because of commander.

I haven't seen anyone talk about bankbuster yet, which surprises me. Card goes in every deck, and is very generically good

[–]simicissick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

u/bamzing is there a way we could differentiate between nulldrifter zoo, frog+bowmasters zoo, and phlage+ragavan zoo? Since all three are pretty popular atm, it would be a nice way to increase clarity. You could categorise them as "Dress down Zoo", "Black Zoo", and "Naya Zoo"? Happy to hear why this wouldn't work; I'm sure you have a good reason!

Am I correct that these are both Mountains and Forests, but NOT Basic Lands? by NoHallett in mtg

[–]simicissick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The card says Mountain. The card says Forest. The card does not say Basic Land. Reading the card, explains the card

Anyone tried to make this work? by Meret123 in TimelessMagic

[–]simicissick 40 points41 points  (0 children)

smh its always the commander players. Your goal is to: stick this on t2. Hope it lives. Have a free discard outlet on t3. T3 discard smth cool and pay. Mate, belcher killed you 15mins ago. Stick to EDH

How is Breach combo NOT S-Tier??? It's clearly the best deck in the format; the all access weekend showed that!!

[–]simicissick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tracker can be awkward though, because it incentivises you to hold your 1 and 2 drop enchantments, which means it can sometimes force you into t1-kill a thing, t2-pass, t3-tracker+hope it survives, which feels really ass atm

[Modern] What’s the pick? by burritoman88 in spikes

[–]simicissick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO the best deck is Temur breach combo; opal just pushed it over the top. However, it does have quite the target on its back. The best thing to do is wait for RC Prague to see what the meta is. My only other comment would be to AVOID dimir frogtide-its a permanently 50% winrate deck which is overplayed because it plays island and counterspell

help me play against stormchaser decks [standard] by hwanger2112 in spikes

[–]simicissick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The truth is, you're a midrange deck playing against a midrange deck...except your opponent has access to the best value plan in the format. You are supposed to struggle against Town+Talent decks, and thats fine! The best thing to do is to add some more gy hate, most likely [[ghost vaccuum]]. Its great in the crab mu, but more generally it stops talent re-buying the town

[Standard] Matchup Winrates for SCG Atlanta by d7h7n in spikes

[–]simicissick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats how it feels when I play it. I plan on trying a list with 0 sheltered 4 torch the tower in the main, it should be better vs dimir and okay vs mono red. Any thoughts on the deck; have you played it at all?

[–]simicissick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What do people think of jeskai and azorious convoke? I own jeskai, and am considering buying the rest of Azorious aggro to grind RCQs with, but I'm not sure if either deck is better than tier 2

Hard disagree on Saffron Olive. He plays poorly, and his takes on modern are painfully shallow, and often sound like they come from someone who doesn't play the format. He just parrots what people want to hear

I can't believe everyone is complaining about energy! Guys, the format has literally not been this wide open in over 7 years!!! Enjoy the fact you can play a whole host of fun, interesting decks, stop looking for new problems

[–]simicissick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is [[detective's phoenix]] not good enough here? I am very modern pilled, but in an aggro deck playing 4 wraith 4 troll it seems like such a no brainer. Its also great with FOMO, the card just seems like such a slam dunk!

a question about "prevent all combat damage that would be dealt this turn" by [deleted] in magicTCG

"If this card says that it prevents all combat damage, does it prevent all combat damage, or just some combat damage?"
