[QUOTE="God's Beard!";194492324]Eldrazi doing its best shops impression

I just sold my playset lol[/QUOTE]

I always intended to buy a couple more. I have two of them for my Living End deck.
Now I may just sell them, lol. Or I'm thinking of maybe keeping one for Daretti Commander, casting him a turn earlier than I should...


And what was on Brown's shirt? lol

Looked like a cartoon of Silumgar.

 

["God's Beard!"]

Or I could just play Lantern yes we know know ffs stop talking about Lantern

I know being irritated all the time is your thing, but Lantern is my deck. Of course I'm going to talk about modern in relation to the deck I play the most. I talked about bogles a lot when I was playing that deck, too. It's part of figuring out the puzzle.

It doesn't help that I'm forced to keep talking about Lantern because you try and shit on it whenever I bring it up. Which is fine, but it really does seem from all evidence that Lantern is one of the strongest decks in the field against Eldrazi specifically. And eldrazi is the big story of the weekend.

It's not like there's a whole lot of other stuff to talk about for Modern. It's the same bomb-shitting non-interactive hyper aggro decks that the format has always been about, except one of the few decks keeping those strategies in check is gone. Modern was already my least favorite constructed format and it's getting even less interesting strategically.

I didn't realize "you are a jerk" was justification for bringing up the same thing over and over and over in response to essentially unrelated things. If someone is talking about playing some specific card in a $1500 deck they already own, its not useful or interesting advice to say "lol play Lantern instead" which is what you say every time anyone talks about a Modern deck they are playing. I'm not going to sell my deck and go buy Lantern.

Are we getting a product announcement today?

 

[Etrian Oddity]

I'm guessing I'm the only one who thinks DFC are kinda silly and unneeded.

 

[Daedardus]

I'm guessing I'm the only one who thinks DFC are kinda silly and unneeded.

I really like the flipwalkers though.

 

[OnPoint]

Start asking me what to build lol.

Or build affinity.

Well? What should I build? I have a good portion of Affinity stuff but might be better suited selling off the pieces and building something a little cheaper.

Affinity is a format staple and they've already banned the cards that would make it overwhelming OP.

Kirblar was just advising people to stop chasing the flavor of the month decks. Eldrazi lands are going to get hit hard.

I have most of Affinity myself, other than the rare lands or the Mox Opals. ;_;

I'm selling out of my Eldrazi pieces tonight. I guess I should just suck it up and play Affinity then. God damn it.

 

[The Technomancer]

I've got a prerelease promo Thought-Knot I wish I had a good way to move

Kiki-Chord is a FOTM deck but it looks hilarious....

Build a cube. At least you can get some enjoyment out of that. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) 

 

[Lucario]

DFC not good enough. Bring on the triple faced cards.



.... God I miss Kaijudo

Kiki-Chord is a FOTM deck but it looks hilarious....

If you're interested, definitely proxy it up and try some games. It's one of the most fun decks I've ever played.

 

["God's Beard!"]

No nonbasics wtf haha

 

[Angry Grimace]

And for what its worth, I think Standard is a better format than Modern.

[QUOTE="God's Beard!";194497070]No nonbasics wtf haha[/QUOTE]

I thought I misheard it. What exactly did she say?

 

[f0rk]

That's surely not what he means?
I'd of thought it would be you can't have a Hallowed Fountain in more than 1 deck

There's no way they keep it like that if that was the intention

 

[Santiako]

[QUOTE="God's Beard!";194497070]No nonbasics wtf haha[/QUOTE]

It's so stupid. I don't even know what's the point of having 2/3 decks with only basic lands.

 

[Lucario]

This does not seem like an improvement to Unified Constructed.

 

[Angry Grimace]

Okay they repeated it and that sounds like the most random, arbitrary deck building restriction I've ever heard. There's no way that sticks, I bet you they mean you can't have the same nonbasic in two decks, they're just confused.

I mean, if that's how its designed, wouldn't everyone just play Skred?

Specifically clarified and got it wrong lol

Good job they don't do performance related reviews for Pro Tour coverage

 

[Angry Grimace]

Called it lol

 

[Santiako]

OK, you can't use the same nonbasic in more than one deck, that makes more sense.

 

["God's Beard!"]

Booooooo

I'm all for random deckbuilding restrictions for funsies tournaments like wmc.

 

[Angry Grimace]

OK, you can't use the same nonbasic in more than one deck, that makes more sense.

You can't use the same cards at all. I think the example made Rich really confused and I have my doubts Helene is terribly familiar with actual game play. She's a PR person.

[QUOTE="God's Beard!";194497991]Booooooo

I don't understand why they have Standard-Modern-Modern. Should be either Standard-Modern-Standard or Legacy-Modern-Standard.

 

[Lucario]

https://twitter.com/mtgaaron/status/696389172840439808

That makes WAY more sense than "nonbasics in only one deck", lmao.

Still don't really understand what the point is. I guess it encourages synergistic decks by making teams want to get the most use out of their 4-ofs?

 

[divisionbyzorro]

But then why do they need to call it out? Isn't that implied in the name "Unified Constructed?" Why do they specifically need to say it?

What a shitshow.

Previously, you could split playsets between your team's decks.

 

[Angry Grimace]

But then why do they need to call it out? Isn't that implied in the name "Unified Constructed?" Why do they specifically need to say it?

What a shitshow.

It's not, you can play 2 Hallowed Fountain in one deck and 2 in another in Unified normal rules. The deckbuilding restriction was just 4 of any card across your entire team cardlist.

 

[Haines]

I've got a prerelease promo Thought-Knot I wish I had a good way to move

So do i, and my card shop wouldnt buy it because they had a few and wanted to see what happened to its value

 

[f0rk]

Well it's not much of a restriction otherwise considering you rarely play full shockland playsets.

 

[Lucario]

dat turn 1

 

[Daedardus]

Oh boy, that play.

 

[Hero]

Well, that just happened.

 

[Santiako]

But then why do they need to call it out? Isn't that implied in the name "Unified Constructed?" Why do they specifically need to say it?

Before you could play 2 wooded foothills in a deck and 2 in another, now you can't.

 

[The Technomancer]

Yeah Eye is getting banned

Unless SoI has some 0 mana artifact that counters spells that are played for 0

 

[A Serious Man]

I can confirm that Eye is stupid.

 

[Lucario]

Well it's not much of a restriction otherwise considering you rarely play full shockland playsets.

Oh, didn't see it was Modern. That makes a lot more sense.

 

[divisionbyzorro]

Before you could play 2 wooded foothills in a deck and 2 in another, now you can't.

Oh I see. That's...odd.

 

[Haines]

Guess ill tune in for lsv and at least i know so e of the cards in this match

 

[ultron87]

Just missed it, was there the multiple mimic + Eye draw?

 

[The Technomancer]

Just missed it, was there the multiple mimic + Eye draw?

Eye -> Mimic -> Mimic -> 2/2 Endless One

 

[Simply Sarah]

You really start to wonder why they didn't just ban Eye and/or Temple prior to this PT. They had to know this is exactly what would happen.

 

[Santiako]

That would stunt sales for OGW and BFZ packs.

 

[El Topo]

I don't think anyone expected the deck to dominate to this extent.

 

[Simply Sarah]

That would stunt sales for OGW and BFZ packs.

I know it's the truth but it doesn't mean it sits well with me.

 

[Angry Grimace]

I wanted to see that Gut Shot

 

[Little Old Man]

What's the context for the Twitter conversation on build restrictions?

 

[The Technomancer]

Ahahaha that was great

 

[El Topo]

You got to see a top deck win, don't get too greedy.
