Well, I have a good answer if Whirza or Urza Outcome is a problem, play Narset, Parter of Veils :) Assuming they don't just attack and kill her with a 9/9 Construct token. :\ In a shell that can profitably run Narset (meaning both be able to cast it, take advantage of her minus ability and leverage...

I watch scg Philly and 11/12 matches on stream till now used urza. This is horrible and a very bad sign, because people like me stopped watching streams now, because everywhere same deck. OK it's only a team event, but I think mox is extremely in danger at the moment. Yesterday after round 5 I swit...

So how's the UWx Stoneblade brewing going? So far, I have not been very impressed frankly. The version I've seen that seems the most powerful to me is a Bant build using Noble Hierarch and Icefang Coatl, but that's not really my style. Straight UW has seemed weak and not committed enough to either ...

Well, focusing almost exclusively on control for years it's been relatively ok in terms of spacing the times when I buy cards. I can always have a competitive control deck, and various other control decks. The problem is now that I want to branch out to control decks that include Green, and that has...

They're not going to forego Field of Ruin though. FoR is much better than these lands, it is one of the big reasons to be straight UW over 3 colors to begin with.. Hard disagree. I had a ton of success recently with a 23 land build of UW control packing zero field of ruins; I instead opted to build...

http://mythicspoiler.com/ted/cards/brazenborrowerp.jpg I just want to talk for a bit about this card, because I have seen it being heavily discussed on Twitter/Reddit. Main topics include whether it should/shouldn't be a Mythic, and whether it is powerful or not, and if it is, does it justify being...

the blue and black castles feel like they would be decent as a mid-late game mana sink. Adding a single castle land to a deck that can support it feels not bad at all.

Yeah, gonna definitely try them out in some decks! Now that UW control doesn't run SfA, the U land might be good!

Another option is to combine Drown with a bunch of discard, which is not a big stretch with the card being black. However countermagic and discard do not work together well and although Drown is also removal, the potential power of the card is it being Counterspell. If you end up mostly using Drown...

Fires of Invention feels like a bad version of Wilderness Reclamation . Pay 4 mana for an enchantment to double your mana, except one plays well with instants and the other locks you out of casting spells on your opponent's turn. I mean, I agree that it's not great, but it gives you the ability to ...

Hm, did the newly spoiled "Dance of the Manse" broke Whirza? Dance of the Manse XWU Sorcery Return up to X target artifact and/or non-Aura enchantment cards each with converted mana cost X or less from your graveyard to the battlefield. If X is 6 or more, those permanents are 4/4 creatures...

UB Faeries (imported my UB Extended Faeries but without Bitterblossom because it was banned). Then I played UR Faeries that Hoogland had gotten a GP top 16 with (his breakout deck pretty much). Then I played Grixis Cruel Ultimatum control for quite a long time until I managed to get the cards for Je...

I think we shouldn't be losing our minds over Emry (yet). I can definitely see all the arguments for it being a good card, but whether it is better than Goblin Engineer of Stoneforge Mystic in Whirza is a matter of testing and/or adjusting. For example, yes Emry can mill your combo piece and then br...

Yet rarely do we see pros pioneer anything in Modern or Legacy. New decks and tech often grow from the community and deck specialists. Playskill aside, most pro players are far from subject matter experts in Modern, at least not to the extent that they are in Standard or Limited. I generally agree ...

Literally nobody said SFM won't be played in UW, Many people said it would create different forms of UW. This is not true, a lot of people in the threads of the MTGSalvation forum had made statements that "whoever says that SFM will be played in UW control has no idea how the card is played&qu...

Preordain would fit straight into every blue control and every blue combo deck. Name a blue combo deck. Storm, Ad Naus? Those decks never going to be a real threat any time soon. Neo Brand and Infect? All easily tier 2. My problem with Preordain being on the banned list is that the reason it origin...

Just my 5 cents on the topic of Preordain and why it won't be unabanned ever, and also why Ancient Stirrings is fine for now, but maybe not later. A lot of discussion is being done over the Faithless looting ban and what it means for the two cards mentioned above. I believe, however, the knowledge w...

But that's the thing, UW was already one of the best decks, so putting that package in an established, good deck, is at best a lateral movement (especially since you have to remove interactive cards to make toom). Most of my playtesting with her over the last week (about 50 or so matches) has been ...

SFM is white, and white is the color with plenty of anti-burn cards. Burn can take game 1, but game two should be more even. Right? Thanks I thought I was going crazy for a sec. I think what people were getting at, is that those decks aren't winning because of stoneforge, but in spite of stoneforge...

Why would anyone not vote for Bitterblossom is the real question. Bitterblossom was indeed a sweet unban. I personally thought that it would be too good and went on a short timed crusade to get it banned again. Faeries in Standard was insane and in my honest opinion, a Tier 0 deck. Looking at the t...

Why would anyone not vote for Bitterblossom is the real question.

Sfm in Legacy is considered as one of the most powerful two cmc creatures SFM's power is directly related to the power of the equipment she tutors for and Legacy has Jitte. That's a pretty significant tool to have access to. I don't play a ton of Legacy myself, but the friends that do have been fai...

I wish I bought my set of sfm already though same here. I should have bought some more.. SFM is suddenly a 60 dollar card on SCG. For sure, she also spiked hard on other places. You mean, like I did during the GP period where they printed her as a promo for 9 euros a piece? ^_^ Not to brag really, ...

Well, that's some great news right there! Let's see what this does to the meta game. We are not talking about a post Hogaak world any more, not a post MH1/WAR world anymore, but at a completely different field. Phoenix and Dredge won't be half as strong (especially the first one might go all-togethe...
