Abzan, dredge, grishoalbrand and blue decks in modern are the reasons I love the black Leyline.

Leylines are trash that should never have been made.

Too bad, good luck for the rest of the rounds.
They'd be fine if they weren't so good.

I lost to Bogles last night because he side boarded in a play set of Leyline of Sanctity. :\
Yes, he played one turn 0.

Am I crazy for wanting to put pyromancer's ascension into Narset EDH?
The deck would also have spellweaver volute and enlightened tutor to enable either.
Loving this Jeskai Ascension deck. Seth did a video series recently with a similar list, a bit more stormy.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I'm just gonna bite the bullet and bring Bant Company to Game Day today.
The problem is that there's very few decks in the format historically that care about having a cheap hard counter when the tempo gain from Remand is often just better. There's just so few decks that want to load on counters that aren't Cryptic.
Mana leak isn't always "perfect" but I think that it's still pretty strong in Modern.

Dredge is insane in Modern on MTGO. There are times all that I see on streams is either Dredge or Jund.
I want to know whose bright idea it was to make a free turn 0 anti-burn anti-discard card with no color requirement that Red and Black have next to no way of destroying.

Meh, Burn can suck it.
dat insolent neonate
Most hate cards are hard to deal with for the other side, that's why they encourage you to build around it with a second strategy. Grafdigger's Cage is hard to deal with for Jeskai too, although it does have access to artifact destruction post board and I think Affinity most of the time doesn't have a way of dealing with Stony Silence.
But did something get released that helped the deck? Seems like all the key cards have been there from the beginning of the year in Modern, yet it's only now that it's so popular.

dreeeeeeeeeeeedddddddddddgeeeeee
Amalgam made it insane.
From the SCG Deck Tech the new cards are:
4x Insolent Neonate
4x Prized Amalgam
1x Haunted Dead
2x Collective Brutality in sideboard

I cast Atarka's Command and then Boros Charm my Eidolon to give it double strike. ¯_(ツ

That's actually a question worth asking. Why did they print leylines as hosers?
Yeah, I'm on mono-W enchantments. Durdle all day every day. Better hope I haven't hit Sphere of Safety yet though, or that plan goes out of the window!
Destructive Revelry fucks me up good though. My friend plays a full set of them in the sideboard, and always draws them against me

I run one Leyline of Sanctity, and that's mainly because Burn wrecks me G1(Horizon Canopy is so bad against any deck with a clock)/it's another piece for Ad Nauseum/Hulk's Footsteps/Burn to have to fight through to beat me post board, and even then I'm still not sure if it's worth it.
THE POWER BE WITH YOU!!!
3-2-1! Lend me your might Magic-GAF!
Vintage/Legacy. This is way, way, way before Modern was a thing. Hell, Legacy may have still been 1.5 at that point. Extended was still around. (I Top 8'd a PTQ with a deck featuring Vindicate and Watchwolf!) WATCHWOLF.
The real hosers, aside from Void, were printed in 2010 in M11 though, which was one year before the conception of Modern.
Congrats! So still two rounds to go for day two?
Yeah. I think I can win and tie to make it to day two? But I'd rather just win out.
Which means they were designed in 2009.

I love new Nahiri. I've seen her played in Legacy, too.
Watchwolf was a big deal when it was released.
You better win out boyee

Stinkin' Dredge
I think 4 colour Humans is more surprising!

It is! I'm already tired of seeing Dredge, between this tournament and the last week of watching Streams of MTGO...
It's more annoying to me than something like Twin ever was.
Was it from Amazon proper or a seller on Amazon. If it's the latter, odds are they know the weight and just pre-printed a shipping label. If you don't mark items as shipped on Amazon within a certain number of days, Amazon will auto-cancel the order.

Kaya + "Oath of" cards? None of them seem paricularly good- Oath of Liliana maybe? Chandra seems slow but makes the 0 to reset more symmetrical. Might be fun in casual
Now that's my kinda deck.

Took 7th in Game Day #1 today. Bant mana base kinda hates me. Ah well, that's what you roll the dice on playing 3 colors.
Took 2nd in Game Day #2 on the day. I'm so glad I found another shop that has evening Game Days since the other one shut down. It was later in the day, so they did no top 4 or anything, just gave the mat to top in the standings. Boo.
Played Bant today. Got torn apart by a local grinder who made an improved and streamlined Prized Amalgam deck. Managed 13 power on the board at the end of turn 3 against me and it looked easy. It was impressive.
