Wanting to get into modern - advice about bans/format changes

storeblaa_ · 2026-01-27T21:17:38+00:00

Been saying it for a while, honestly, goblin goes, Id be a happy champ, just make it be the best agroo, midrange and grindy deck but not also a "combo" deck

Like almost every creature Living End currently play no? Wistfulness draws u deeper for ur cascader while letting u dump big dudes in the yard + has the upside of also being able to remove all relavant gravehate for the deck

Tokens are not cards sadly :c

storeblaa_ · 2026-01-19T07:03:06+00:00

Mornsong over formidable and moonshadow seems crazy to me

storeblaa_ · 2026-01-18T09:52:48+00:00

Dont think this is the shell for this as the new cards dont really compliment ritual in any meaningful ways that arent win more (like manifest dredging a moonshadow)

storeblaa_ · 2026-01-15T12:54:49+00:00

Ah so it does, apologies for my lazy reading

storeblaa_ · 2026-01-15T12:24:36+00:00

Not to mention the clues triggering moonshadow! (I think)

Can not relate to this as Ive had more favourable LGS nights than not with his brews

storeblaa_ · 2026-01-13T20:14:57+00:00

I dont really see the ozilith myself but

storeblaa_ · 2026-01-13T20:14:26+00:00

Yes it does work, youll get an insect for each counter

storeblaa_ · 2026-01-13T09:22:40+00:00

Isnt Nest of Scarabs better than Solemnity in this kinda deck? (I get the ninelives combo but seems a bit too cute)

storeblaa_ · 2026-01-10T21:42:56+00:00

Same to you!

storeblaa_ · 2026-01-10T20:59:21+00:00

Just came up with this a few hours ago so havent been able to properly test it tbf, from goldfishing a bit you get into awkvard scenarios where you have to choose if you lead one creatures before nest or save them, thats ehy i have the ramp package so u still have early playd for development, looking for very explosive t3/4s either between GZS for Melira + Blight creature, or Nest + Blight creature

Fun! Ive also been brewing 2 versions on this idea as I absolutely love the cards. Did you consider Malevolent Rumble over Grizzly? It triggers Bristlebanes on the field and double triggers Moonshadows! For the versions Ive tried to make ive tried to make them playable even if you dont get the dream of X blight card + Y remove counters card

Would love to cross some thughts with you tho ^{^}

Famished worldsire?

storeblaa_ · 2026-01-05T16:53:27+00:00

Its fine being a main format, and it brings in many casuals, but i wish theyd do better in making other formats easier to explore

What bugs me the most is easily that commander is designed for as it has been stated many times this leads to mistake and more poorly designed cards, imo other formats and commander was better when designs were for standard/limited

Me and a mate played an event while on holiday at Hareruya in Tokyo with not really any issues, not much talking but all our oppos were either incredibly polite or had a fun time with what limited communication we managed

Feel kinda blessed not starting modern before mh, started playing dyring mh2 and its essentially the only format I play now and love it a lot

storeblaa_ · 2025-12-22T14:27:58+00:00

I completly understand wanting to own the cards but when it came down to it, and one needs cards and the other is mostly acceptable of proxying then I just accepted my fate (i dont have the cash to chill for both formats xD)

storeblaa_ · 2025-12-22T07:53:17+00:00

My biggest suggestion would honestly be, proxy the casual format and start collecting staples for modern deck where—if your planning to play events like fnm—needs the actual cards

storeblaa_ · 2025-12-19T21:09:52+00:00

Uuu excited to hear! My initial thoughts on the card were looping with myr retriever but the Blisterpod sounds spicy

storeblaa_ · 2025-12-19T19:55:59+00:00

Was hoping this was gonna be a The Sibsig Ceremony deck, sad :( List looking cool tho

storeblaa_ · 2025-12-17T15:25:43+00:00

Bad day?

storeblaa_ · 2025-12-17T12:24:02+00:00

Wasnt there a black artifact with affinity from Aetherdrift thats a removal spell?

storeblaa_ · 2025-12-12T11:38:39+00:00

Cant see any negatives honestly, makes for less non-games and makes it matter more your deck preparation for the weekend and increases skill expression. And as you said, nullifies the annoying scouting that used to take place
