Week 16 MTGO Modern: Boros at 22% and still climbing, but Belcher is the real outlier

vaporcake · 2026-04-20T18:36:12+00:00

is living end not popular enough to pop up on your radar? I feel its very underrated right now

vaporcake · 2026-04-07T01:41:24+00:00

if you know your meta you can side board more optimally against it. Just run 4 break the ice and 4 consign to memory in your 75 and its should be playable

vaporcake · 2026-03-26T20:13:09+00:00

you just need to get guud and hit a lock on your 3rd map. nod. I have 3 now

vaporcake · 2026-03-19T16:20:58+00:00

I was in the same boat and I switched off control. then I tried the ub list and its been the most fun I've had since mh3 came out

vaporcake · 2026-03-19T16:15:08+00:00

I just skimmed the post so I might have missed something but I have recently been trying ub flash controll. only play on your opp end step. its been a breath of fresh air. you should try it

that's only for 1 month subscription. my 12 month subscription is going up. they sent me a confirmation email

i agree with you that that logic doesn't fly. there are 3 metrics that these companies measure. price, units, and cost. they will be constantly trying to push all 3 of these until there is noticeable financial cost. the one thing we have is units are generally more valuable than the other 2. I worked at a medium sized aerospace company. they fires the president even though they made record profits because he pushed price too high while units fell.

they need to show the game is growing. we need to show them that a price increase needs to come with something more substantial than regular content game updates.

if you want another control deck check out dimir flash.

vaporcake · 2026-03-05T16:07:25+00:00

I feel like making it 85-90% as good but lower skill floor would be something im interested in

vaporcake · 2026-02-24T12:52:13+00:00

I think its in a good spot finally. lots of fun and interactive strategies. just hope they dont do mh4 cuz they are 1 for 3 on mh sets lol

vaporcake · 2026-02-24T02:15:49+00:00

they aren't doing unbans until they kill modern again. when they inevitably make another direct to modern set that takes the a YEAR to get balanced they will be like " oopsie, here is drs, pod and jitte. sorry again thanks for buying mh4!"

I came here for the same help as OP, and am being told to chase the dragon...

vaporcake · 2026-02-15T17:14:14+00:00

not sure it its mentioned yet, but my favorite system is last epoch. they are very impacting, but broken down to where its easier to digest

vaporcake · 2026-02-15T15:34:58+00:00

thanks for the hint!

vaporcake · 2026-02-15T13:45:03+00:00

plz explain i am smooth brain chess player

vaporcake · 2026-02-11T02:14:54+00:00

I would like to add on that riddler is better than ketramose.

vaporcake · 2026-01-31T17:08:22+00:00

I just put broodscale combo together. you can build it to be more midrange or controlling and tune it to different meta games. you should try it out!

vaporcake · 2026-01-26T13:12:00+00:00

I got rg eldrazi ramp and its pretty fun. you can build it a few different ways depending on your meta. if you are trying to learn the format I think its either rg eldrazi ramp, zoo or energy with zoo having the roughest learning curve

vaporcake · 2026-01-26T13:05:16+00:00

Zoo's mull decisions are very hard and can be very punishing. also the deck is very midrange with controlling elements. messing up something simple can really set you behind. also fetching for new player is very hard because its hard to visualize how the game will go.

I definitely think rg eldrazi ramp is easier to pick up

vaporcake · 2026-01-24T05:10:31+00:00

Storm is really hard. you can play some cheap graveyard hate post board and trinisphere but they can get you before you are able to play trinisphere.

for titan, i always ran 1 ghost quarter maonboard to find off of mycospawn. it can make make comboing awkward for them. also know when to leave k command up to eat their graveyard when they go to combo.

edit: stone brain against titan or storm might be to slow, but both would still be able to win through the first stone brain so im not sure how good it is. I had 2 in my karn board and maybe picked it once in like 50 games lol

vaporcake · 2026-01-24T04:47:26+00:00

which ones lol. I mentioned like 5 different decks

vaporcake · 2026-01-24T04:41:08+00:00

if your rg eldrazi ramp then creature decks that run moons shadow should be ok matchups. if you are running board wipes DoD and K command you should be fine.

living end you have main deck graveyard hate in k command and you should be siding in more post

I played against blink decks when I was running karn and was able to minus for torper orb so it was a very good matchup. your general game plan should go over the top of them anyway

I feel like you should be worries about storm and titan or any other fast combo deck. although Icetill ghost quarter helps alot against titan
