Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 07/08/2019)

I feel that Jund still fits into the format somewhere still. W6 was still a great addition to the format. I've been okay with Mardu Octomancer but I'm not sure actually how good the deck is.

I'm at the point where I just don't wanna see leylines in the main being the norm

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 07/08/2019)

I feel that dredge will probably just take it's place back as the default graveyard deck almost if Hogaak gets banned. Whirza and mono red phoenix will still be good.

I'm not sure how else the format would change if Hogaak was banned but I'm hoping it slows down

Re: how often do you play Magic?

Oathbbreaker has really taken off in my area the past month or so, even with people who didn't really play EDH before. I kinda found myself getting into it, even if I still like EDH more. I find it's an easier format to just play 1v1 and have quick games. We've been playing on Thursday night but I d...

Yeah nobody (that I remember) hated on Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir thats a fair card because 1. Its 5 mana. 2. Its a creature and every colour can deal with creatures. World of difference. I feel that a creature that costs 2UUU is also really hard to cast as well, especially if it's so easy to deal wit...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 07/08/2019)

Yeah, at 4, I think it would be far less an issue, and more a value play if anything. At 3, it does nothing but push the cmc where the game is defined even lower, and the format didnt need that. my issue with it at 3 is that it comes down so early and basically makes the game about dealing with him...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 07/08/2019)

Ya, its not about weird lines I clarified above a bit. There is nothing weird to be about 'I'm going to protect my combo, lol'. It just is what it is. Its too cheap for what it does, and should have cost 4, if not 5. I feel that 3feri would be a lot less bothersome if it cost 4 rather than 3, that ...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 07/08/2019)

I think it's pretty easy to guess what their logic was behind the Bridge ban instead of Hogaak. They wanted to nerf the deck, but they didn't want to kill it. That's been their MO ever since the community backlash from the Birthing Pod and Splinter Twin bans. They thought taking away the combo mill...

Re: 08/26/2019 Banlist poll - Unban

I think that SFM would be a fine unban, format is probably too fast for it right now and kolaghan's command answers it quite well I think that twin would have the same affect on the format once unbanned as BBE did. I appreciate them wanting to ban it because it was so poplar 3 years ago or so but pe...

I'd be fine with just a Hogaak ban but I have been getting closer to just asking myself if it's time that faithless looting got the ban, even if it nerfs random fair decks like Mardu Pyro

I feel that a lot of people picked up Unglued and Unstable lands because boxes were so cheap, but it didn't really happen as much for Unstable because people had learned to expect that by then.

Re: [official]Basic land discussion

When I played competitively, all the basics had to match. I used Unhinged lands because boxes of Unhinged were selling for around $45, so I had a lot of them (how times have changed). These days since I play almost entirely casual/EDH, I'll just grab a handful of my favorites and mix it up. For Pla...

Re: When it it Okay to Unleash the Hounds?

I'll usually try and end a game if it's been going on longer than an hour. I'm more concerned with people having fun rather than winning so I don't try too hard to win though, so I won't go for the win unless the game goes on for over an hour

I know Sharuum is probably just worse than Breya at this point but this deck has become sort of my baby over the past 5-6 years. I don't really wanna go full out, I guess this would fit into the 75% power category but I'd be willing to hear out options that aren't horribly expensive here it is: Comm...
