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

I doubt Wizards will make a lot of Modern Horizon bans because it will make people hesitant with buying cards in expensive booster packs, come the next premium/Horizon set, if they know they'll get banned anyway. Or maybe they don't care at all. It looks like all they care about is just printing a b...

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

Weren't pro tours and grand prix supposed to come back? Any of them playing modern? A big tournament with focus on modern could give some spotlight to any problems.

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

I didn't play it myself, but my best friend did. He's always been into mardu colours and that deck was just fun to play against and also watch. I really liked the idea and concept of the deck. I don't know what it would take to make a deck like that viable again or if it would even be possible. It w...

I just miss when cool decks like Mardu Pyromancer were viable. Simpler times. Life was so much better. Only a few years ago.

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

It's rare I see rogue decks anymore at the local level. And the general public's lack of outrage towards MH2 is completely baffling to me. Could be a lot of people have accepted it's just how things are now. The top meta is pretty diverse, but it's basically still the same cards over and over in th...

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

Modern is the most fun Magic for me when you disregard tier 1 decks and just pick some of the more "fun" tier 2-3-4 type decks. I haven't played fnm since early 2019, but my local meta was 90% of those types of decks, making it very fun. Every game was different and often times very close....

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

Forgive my stupidity, but what would it do giving them split second? as in split second instead of evoke? I thought split second was a kinda of hyper-instant? It would prevent them from flickering to maintain the evoke critter, because it would stop new stuff from entering the stack before they are...

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

Oh boy, Yorion is banned. Enough? Not enough? In a way I get the argument Wizards are making that the meta game is diverse when you look at the different decks and the top of the meta decks have a fairly low overall percentage of the meta. But at the same time, is it really in a good state when the ...

Pretty wild Liliana of the Veil is getting reprinted in the new set. One of the most popular modern cards about to make the rounds.

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

I still think that modern is my favourite format in terms of gameplay, especially if you want to build something fun/interesting and not just maximise on power level. Some of the most fun games I've had are with those 3/2-2/3 decks. I really like that. That's basically the most "magic" to ...

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

I played modern last night with two of my friends just for fun. First time in a long time. We used proxies just because two of them are just sort of dipping their toes into the format and don't know if they want to spend money on the actual cards. So it was all just casual and for won. One friend pl...

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

As much as I love artifact decks, it may just be one of those "too dangerous" cards because of what it can enable. But I wouldn't mind it back.

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

Funny with all the power creep that has happened in Modern and then seeing spoilers for that new Baldur's Gate commander set. Holy shiiiiiit those cards are crazy. So many "You get a million treasure tokens and draw some cards too". Wizards really really really like treasure tokens. I'm st...

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

I think the Wrenn and Six reprint won't do much to the price... high demand, mythic rare, high priced set... I don't think the price will move at all sadly :(

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

I think it's "just" the power creep that outvalues everything pre modern horizons. It does get a bit stale. As far as I can see on goldfish it's mostly the tri lands people are using. Esper Control has void rend, but that's not a high tier deck. Cool card though. Doesn't look like this set...

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

Yeah, or at least a second in the sideboard so you can fetch it with Karn. I think it's just because the deck is trying to do a lot of things at the same time. It's kinda tron, it's kinda tempo, it's kinda controlly, it's just kinda funky all around hehe.

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

Sorry for double post, but damn I love Mono-Blue Tron lol. It's such a weird deck in that it kinda at it's core is working against itself for what it's trying to do, but I just love it haha. Brings two things I love about Magic together. Tron and counterspells lol. Would love to get the last pieces ...

Not sure how it does without Ragavan and Wrenn, but that RG Ponza deck that was popping up a lot about a year or two ago (and sometimes still does) looked really cool to me.

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

I like that Pioneer is getting some spotlight though. I really like the idea of the format itself, I'm just always left with the feeling of "I could be playing modern where I have Counterspell... tron lands.... lightning bolt... etc etc etc", so I usually end up never clicking "purcha...

What about the SCG Tour? I saw Star City Games cons are being held again. Do they still stream the tournaments? I liked watching them if it was modern or something like that. I thought that team format with 3 vs 3 was pretty cool where every player was playing a different format. It was pretty cool ...
