Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 01/13/2020)

Even if I am playing Amulet titan for many, many months, I was hoping for an addendum to the Banlist the day after. It never came and it seems like we won't have any bannings until end of March, post GP's. Yea I think they'll wait and see if Veil of Summer is still as ubiquitous in decks as it is n...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 01/13/2020)

In my opinion, this "threats vs answers: threats should be better/have to be better" is a gross over-simplification of the matter. Some removal spells are "better" than some creatures, i.e. they trade up with them in value/tempo (e.g. Push with revolt, Kommand with artifacts etc)...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 01/13/2020)

don't think threats are too diverse, and as you say, removal is good enough, Drown in the Loch, Trophy, Path take care of most things.

The problem is veil of Summer, pure and simple. It's too good, to broad. End of story

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 01/13/2020)

Veil might be fine in this new landscape. The card's good, but it's ultimately a bullet. No offence, but are you for real? Srsly... A bullet is a card that shuts down ONE spefic deck or specific type of deck. 1) Veil is a very broadly powerful sideboard card, it's a hoser for any interaction-based ...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 01/13/2020)

in theory, how soon could we see a Veil ban? somebody said "modern could be a Veil-ban away from being great" and I agree. Will have to see how Urza/Emry.dec shakes out, the emerging temur lists seem pretty damn powerful. The fact remains, Veil has to be a goner, and everybody knows that. ...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 12/16/2019)

Never wrote something but a fiery reader. For me this ban mania Is and Will Always be the true cancer of Modern. There Will Always be a top deck. There Will Always be a deck that eveyone hates. Modern had the oportunity to create a rotation through meta. It had the opportunity to play the deck you ...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 12/16/2019)

Theese bans are almost as "No changes". Wizards didn't change anything in general, keeping Urza, Big mana and other combo decks playing around in tier1-2. Looks like no way I will ever return to this format. RIP Modern. Hello Pioneer. Oko, as per statement, was by far the most played card...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 12/16/2019)

comment board on mtg goldfish isn't as happy, lots of people still unhappy with faithless looting ban. losing affinity doesn't help either. i don't expect attendance numbers to grow at all. I'm sorry but if you're unhappy about the Looting Ban, you're probably one of those people not interested in ...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 12/16/2019)

Not a peep about Veil of Summer. Very surprised that they didn't just not ban it, but didn't even mention it as a problematic card... Y'all think it would be ok to unban Ironworks now? Why unban a card that has already proven itself toxic? No thank you... I mean you're totally correct, especially w...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 12/16/2019)

I can't believe how you all forget our meta bevore veil. Veil was not the beginning, it is a little part of it. And like I allways said, it doesnt matter if you think banning veil stops urza... If we knew they was busted bevore veil too. This is unlogical thinking it's a solution. It's not possible...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 12/16/2019)

Can someone talk to me how you all want stopping "urza" if they all don't need each of your ban suggestions? How should this work?? I happen to think the modern card pool is large and powerful enough to regulate both Urza and Oko. Spells like Mystical Dispute, Dreadbore, Thoughtseize and ...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 12/16/2019)

TLDR: 1) Astrolabe dissolves color as one of the basic structures of MTG, making the game "lose itself", dissolving the game if you will. 2) Veil of Summer could be the product of a "create the most ridiculous protection spell you can think of", answers close to every interaction...
