Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 07/13/2020)

I dislike the bannings of simian spirit guide and mox opal. These decks were more vulnerable to discard and removal. Now I feel the format is too midrange-y. The banning of Simian Spirit Guide is necessary ever since the printing of Shardless Agent in MH2. Do you really want to see someone having a...

Re: [Deck] Amulet Titan

nice detailed report. I enjoyed reading it. Sorry to hear you barely missed top 8. Looks like those only two players you lost to actually made top 8.. strange twist of events. anyway, looks like Amulet Titan is still a very strong deck, based on those crazy things you did with nut draws, even outra...

Re: [Deck] Amulet Titan

Modern $1K - 65 players. Round 1 vs. Infect. This player went into the top 8 as the 2nd seed at 5-0-2. A look at the Companion standings and his game win percentage was 90.9%, so he went he 2-0ed 4 other opponents before IDing into the top 8. And our match was super close. So, this player comes from...

Would like to see a reprint set this summer.
Would be nice for the player base. Remember, Wrenn and Six will be reprinted in MH3. The problem is that people can't wait that long, especially since the Lurrus ban and rise of Money Pile from number 3 to number 1.

Have fun losing to yorion money piles. Aren't most decks money piles? I really dont see much difference. While I see your point, 2 of the top 3 decks just lost a key component in Lurrus. The other deck didn't lose anything in the announcement and may seem to gain something from the new Triomes in t...

Personally I would go with Murktide, but the differences in ho...

Re: [Deck] Amulet Titan

congrats on the results. does the deck play a little differently now that it has Boseiju? Yes, there's always a bit of tension whether to play it or save it. But every deck with Boseiju has this issue, but Amulet can at least bounce it and play it later. Sometimes Primeval Titan fetchles Simic Grow...

Ran Amulet again at a 15 person FNM.

Round 1 vs. E Tron. 2-1.

Round 2 vs. GB Saga. 2-1.

Round 3 vs. Shadow. 1-2.

Round 4 vs. UR Kiki Exarch. 2-1.

I go 3-1, so now 11-3 with the deck since Boseiju.

looks like the new Boseiju card is being helpful to some decks. What do you guys think, get a playset now, or wait a few more weeks for the price to drop?
I bought 2 from my LGS at $18 and 1 foil one (out of regulars sadly enough) for $25. I needed to have them immediately for Amulet. :grin:

Re: [Deck] Amulet Titan

nice, looks like Boseiju gave the Amulet deck a bit more power boost. First 2 tournaments, it didn't do much. But it was huge in the last 4-0, lol. It definitely did give Amulet a boost and was the sole reason I switched back to Amulet. I may actually play the same deck for a few weeks now, lol. :r...

I'd have a hard time seeing a {card]golgari grave-troll[/card] unban considering it was already unbanned then banned again. While dredge did have a looting ban, which probably hampered it a lot. I don't know if the format will handle a GGT unban. Maybe I'm just wrong on this I agree. Dredge also wo...
