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

I watched a stream of a guy playing merfolk through a league the other day. Tishana's Tidebinder is pretty damn good against those evoke elementals. At least if I understood what was going on correctly hehe.

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

I wouldn't be surprised if they ban Creator Karn because "It's the best One Ring deck, so it doesn't need more power" or something like that. Or they ban Ragavan after people shouting about it for two years, now that orcish bowmasters are taking care of the monkey and isn't selling packs. ...

Re: The One Ring

I know it's not commander, but it's the most played card in the deck lists of the modern pro tour that starts today. There may be a word or two about the card after the pro tour and that could make people keep an eye on it in other formats.

Pro Tour coming up this weekend. They're playing Modern. Could be an interesting watch if you ignore the barrage of constant commercials and annoying hosts and commentators constantly talking.

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

I still feel like Tron is a very overrated deck in the format. I get that it gets a power boost from the one ring, so maybe it gains some ground here. But I'm surprised it has done as well as it has on mtgo over the past couple years. I still think the deck has consistency problems. It's pretty cra...

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

Looks like nothing except maybe one or two cards from the Lord of the Rings set will make any appearances in Modern. I'm honestly kinda relieved and tired of it all at the same time.
Palantir of Orthanc looks really cool as something Karn could get in the tron sideboard for grindy games.

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

I don't know if I've just lost interest, didn't pay attention or just didn't notice anything with modern potential. Bit of a letdown given this set was the big "Avengers Endgame universe cataclysmic event", but at the same time, it's nice that a new set doesn't have a massive format twiste...

White just got a better Remand from the lord of the rings set. That's the first card that's going to see play we've seen so far.

There's another possibility: it doesn't all get reset. This could be the Transformers: The Movie moment, where they actually kill off half the characters(so they can sell you new toys).
Only difference is, Transformers the Movie is actually good :)

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

Could modern work with a sort of "restricted card" list? like you can only have one of X card in the 75? I'm sure it would be a different bag of %$#% to deal with, but it could be an interesting solution to cards that would otherwise get a ban. And even if Ragavan gets banned, something el...

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

I agree. The main problem for me is I just can't afford it, but Pioneer, a format I really want to like because it has cards I like and the format is a bit slower, it just doesn't do it for me. My friends and I just proxy the cards we don't have or if we want to play something totally different just...

Interesting both of your stores have so much Pioneer attendance. Maybe it really has begun to draw modern and standard players away.

I don't know, I haven't bought any new cards in ages, and when I did I only got singles. The only times I've bought sealed products were when my mates and I played sealed for fun. But that was not to pull specific cards, it was just because we always have a lot of fun playing sealed. But haven't don...

Interested to see. What does the Minor Misstep do? The card link does not work. 1 mana counterspell that counters something with mana value 1 or less. So it's a non-free mental misstep, but for the one mana you also get to counter 0 cost spells. I mean modern has "free" spells like force ...

Have you guys seen Minor Misstep? Pretty cool new 1 mana counterspell. Could definitely see play. a non free version of Mental Misstep, but this can also hit 0 cost cards.

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

There won't be any consequences for anybody who brought money to the company.
I think there's basically two options for people who love modern. Either go with the flow or try pioneer aka worse modern.

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

I genuinely don't think Wizards cares about modern meta and stuff like that. As long as the money keeps on rolling nothing will happen. I'm sure there'd be more bans/unbans etc. if pro tours were big streaming events. There'd at least be more focus on it. It seems like the company has zero passion f...
