That's what's been bothering me. He had two fine decks(Grishoal & Mardu Pyro). I also had UR Phoenix, another deck that the format had been adapted two. Yet, we lost 3/4 decks we had, and now there is a talk about my Amulet(which I was playing since 2015). People are mentioning Summoner's Pact ...

Oh Mardu Pyro, I loved the version of it with looting but I'm still kind of glad looting got banned out of the format. While MH1 added some absurd cards to the format, I feel that 2019 as a whole just broke Magic as a game and it can't just be limited to one format that got broken. Just a few pilla...

I think it would be a mistake not to make Modern Horizon 2.

Maybe it was just me who was unlucky, but 3/4 decks I played against at fnm had stuff where I wish I could have removed their graveyards. Stuff like Uro, izzet phoenix and a cycle/drake haven deck with a lot of graveyard stuff going on too. I was just immediately thinking about what to swap out for ...

or a playset of Tron lands a bad choice Me no like, but understand hehe. At the same time, like it or not, with Pioneer being what it is, Modern is pretty much THE Tron format, so nerfing tron too hard would be no bueno. That being siad, they just %$#% affinity decks up which I'd say was one of the...

Does anybody have an idea why Tormod's Crypt isn't seeing more play? Particularly in more aggro based decks.

The 1 mana requirement means you equally trade tempo which would IMO balance the card. 1 mana for a repeatable l...

A color-shifted "white" Sinkhole would be cool. W w Exile target non-basic land, sorcery speed. I think Wasteland would be too strong for Modern (I say that as someone who loves playing Wasteland). On the other hand, I could see Rishadan Port being a fair addition to the meta. That would ...

Going to my first Pioneer FNM on Wednesday and I'm really excited for it. Haven't been able to attend Pioneer (or modern) FNM's since it started due to being busy, but I have assembled a Golgari Stompy deck and I'm hoping I'll be able to smash just one victory in :) I'm thinking I'll get my ass hand...

Chalice won't get banned. Not worried about Chalice getting banned, I'm more worried about wasting money on a format that people are fighting and screaming about sucking hehe My concern is making sure enough people actually show up for events to fire. And that the actual gameplay isn't just an open...

I'm pretty sure the card market tournament in Paris had around 200 players. That abzan ephemerate deck was sick. Really not sure if I should just go for getting 4 chalice to complete my eldrazi deck, get 4 karn and 2 ugin for tron for my modern games or get the stuff I need for my esper control Pion...

This is a massive sidenote, but it's about a modern staple. I'm so sad my favorourite Chalice of the void artwork is the Kaladesh invention with a price trend of €126... The normal is so ugly, and it's hard for me to put so much money into a card that has such ugly artwork hehe.... I need four thoug...

Not that my opinion has any weight or meaning, but modern's draw to me is a format where I can play Tron hehe. I'll keep playing whatever format I can do that in. I was a big fan of normal Affinity and Hardened Scales Affinity. Both were on my list of decks I liked when I switched to Modern. I only ...

if you guys feel that trons win rate isn't problematic and the format has other problems then i won't argue against that too much. i was under the impression that e-tron was everywhere online and people didn't like it. i would also rather have green tron in the format than eldrazi tron, at least it...

This I think is a much better approach than winding back the clock. I'm hoping that WotC realizes the jeopardy that Modern is in and uses MH2 to try to remedy it. We need more staples and less draft chaff. It can still be drafted, obviously, it will just be super strong. Honestly, that sounds more ...

whoa, the inverter lists are surprisingly strong.

Anyone have a link to the winning Sultai list?

https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/2723371#paper

Looks cool, I bet it's really fun to play too.

The sultai list was dope and I like the idea of the Inverter list, but it got boring to watch after a couple of rounds during the weekend hehe. I agree with the lack of answers and ktk's post, but I'm still at the same time having a great time playing golgari stompy and working on my esper control d...

Banning around the edges means Ancient Stirrings or Expedition Map would be potential targets from Tron/Eldrazi Please nooooo :( I know tron players have Once Upon A Time as a backup in case of a banning, but still :( I agree with your point about draft too, but I just really hate draft formats in ...

https://t.co/v4kxu8Qcmp?amp=1 The usual questionnaire is here again Still filling in Modern as my favourite format, if only to show support I voted modern too although I've almost only been playing Commander the last couple of months. Mostly because my group of friends have been really into that la...

I really hate the term "fair decks" in general lol. It's just a silly way of saying "not really good" or below tier 2 You know, you are probably not alone in that thinking. That is also why many view Modern as a degenerate joke. Yeah hehe, I'm just really happy my local store's ...

Tomatotime That's why I was confused. I think it's a relevant conversation in Pioneer as well. For what it's worth, I'm fairly certain that this eats a ban and it's Ballista. The combo is fewer colors, harder to interact with, and potentially faster than Cat Combo and Cat lived one whole week in Pi...

This is the modern thread hehe, so I'm primarily talking about modern unless I specifically mention Pioneer, but if it's strong enough to get banned in modern, then it'll definitely get killed in Pioneer too. But yeah it depends on how strong it'll end up being in Modern. Guess we'll have to wait an...

Yeah, you're right. Heliod isn't too bad himself. I was lucky enough to get him when I was playing sealed with my friends and I'm putting him in my Atraxa commander deck. I can just see Walking Ballista being banned from a mile away. I hope I'm wrong since Ballista is probably my top 3 favourite car...
