You could be right about Jitte. I personally have a lot of reservations here because sometimes I like to play dumb creature decks for fun and I don't foresee those doing well vs. Jitte, while I have to run 4 myself. But I am all right with WotC at least trying it. Many Pro Players have said it's ok...

The companion and astrolabe points are fair, I wouldnt want to see astrolabe go myself, but the mana consistency factor as well as the fact that it replaces itself has made for a lot of very one-sided games, and thats put some people off. Im trying to gauge this information so it can be validated an...

So if Im remembering all of this right, the current collection of ideas Ive come to is this Introduce a companion rules change for Modern. Either it replaces a card in your hand at the start of the game OR they can ONLY be regular maindeck cards in modern. Im fine with changing the rule to remove th...

There are already discord communities for the eternal formats of players who have removed wizard's bad decision making from their enjoyment of the game. I found one discord server for a group that basically caps their format at Pre-War and intends to evaluate which cards should be banned when they e...

"Its the old cards that are broken" I just wanted to put an umezawa's jitte onto a bitterblossom token and attack through my opponent...But nooo we cant have that, "here, jump through these hoops and have have a free 8th card in your hand that recurs your cheap stuff, thats good in et...

Let's be fair, Bridge had it coming either way. It's a card that's bound to break at some point down the line, like Looting. Contrary to Looting though it never enabled interactive magic. BridgeVine was nothing more than a gimmicky Tier 3 deck until Hogaak broke it to pieces. Sure, very few people ...

bad is subjective definitioning. it depends upon interpretation, I agree seeing these decks makes me feel a bit better about the whole situation, but there is this uneven playing field complication that sours the whole situation. Any of the suggested rules fixes Ive seen on twitter and in articles w...

recent modern leagues seem alright Too bad they're engineered to look diverse. Events are the only really trustworthy data, sadly. this should really be common knowledge now. Every time I see a faeries list in the 5-0 challenges Im often looking to see new tech, but I am also ultimately pissed at w...

Modern's identity is probably that of busted synergies and who's going to do the most broken thing first of them two. And unfortunately, it's almost always in a busted state. Pioneer's identity is probably that of a fairer, midrangey/aggroy format. It's still got a close to tier 1 ramp deck(UG ramp...

I have heard too many people well versed in this game allude to "you need to be playing a companion to not be far behind in your games of magic" and this brings up a point that I have had pop into my head,,,why are there so few? I'm sure the power level would have been easier absorbed if t...

https://www.coolstuffinc.com/a/franklepore-04222020-the-companion-conundrum #CompanionWatch2020 from the perspective of Frank Lepore. It is just a collection of the twitter posts from players of companion based decks in all formats, as well as a run-down of the known tournament results including com...

alternatively I find the mtgo decklists situation very patronizing. Its "Hide the evidence we are doing a horrible job so we can downplay the concerns of the smart ones whos data analysis clearly shows there is a problem" and thats an element of the present situation that, going forward, i...

Surely the must be a happy medium between arse weak standard of Oath, say, and the OTT post War nuts-card-of-the month? The other point is would all these new nuts cards be nuts if they printed nuts answers? Imagine. Cursed totem for walkers. Even better a 2 mana torpor orb OR cursed totem, modal o...

Christ, its an hour? I dont care to discuss Twin itself, I was hoping to see if general discussion points could be extracted from it. :p Well the twin perspective of mine thats reinforced by this video personally is the THEORY that the requirement for interaction similar to the deck helps keeps som...

And you know what, you dont have to. Freedom of your time and efforts man, but the professor has gone from vocal supporter of wizards of the coast to pseudo intellectual and emotionally critic of the policies of the company. And yes I believe that the factors of this discussion, and some of his pers...

Alright, I am going to disturb your peace. Warn or ban me if you must, but this is what everyone has said. This is a host of the Masters of Modern podcast Ben Bateman along with TCC discussing the twin ban and debate if the aftermath that has led us here could have spawned from that (potentially) po...

jim davis commentary. This has a more modern discussion focus and his perspective on companion, with experience playing from a blue deck, as well as an idea on how to fix the mechanic.

nikachu is commenting on this, unsurprisingly, I feel like he has gained a the vocal representation of tier 2 players in modern while also expanding on common opinions that he shares. H

ok whos actually planning to play drannith magistrate to solve this problem we have here? /s

https://twitter.com/ArkhonTV/status/1252274892604690435 not looking too good to me anymore myself. Confidence in a product is needed, and thats been reduced every set the past few years. this is likely maro talking to keep his job, but the point has been clearly stated before, I have a specific trib...

I think this is just going to lead to a functional rule of. "You dont have access to a card outside the game unless a card effect from within the game allows it." I think the companions themselves are fine creatures, the consistency of the companion effect is the issue. I always thought th...

well then can we elaborate on the nature of black and why its not seeing enough play? I mean I had that discussion about Liliana of the veil being bad currently in the faeries discord since discarding cards is meaningless when the value engines spiral out of control with game advantaging 2-for-1s an...

i remember maro having said dimir was his favorite color combination. i think the history of the color pair makes them so afraid that they dont know how to push the envelope for dimir anymore. They dont want to repeat that faeries thing again, so they play it very safe, but Id love it if they made a...

honestly i have been thinking of running astrolabe and snow lands just to get more consistent UUU for archmage's charm and cryptic in a deck running mutavault, but the icefang coatl astrolabe snowlands package seems to the best advantage engine to play to keep up with the format, and people are just...

Well as the creator of the Faeries discord (struggling to keep up, we know...laugh it up) I was always curious of if there was a reference being built of Modern Magic related discord links. Would there be a positive use for a Modern-HUB Discord with a library of deck discord links? And such a librar...
