Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 03/09/2020)

I already proved you that there is no hypocrisy to my posts, but clearly you don't agree. To each their own. I will now stop the conversation, because your behavior is extremely hostile, and you are trying to attack me, instead of my ideas. Also, linked a decklist. You can take a look and discuss i...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 03/09/2020)

Claims to have 30 hours of testing. provides nothing. I am not the one trying to convince you over here. I am the one telling you it could be fine, especially with AA. You are the one with the strong sentiments here. So, I am waiting for your data and proof on Twin, if you want it to be unbanned. O...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 03/09/2020)

Those are aren't contradictory at all. First off, I didn't start the conversation and neither I wasn't the one asking for Twin to be unbanned. Second, because "We are certain that Twin would be scary with Arcum's Astrolabe and Ice Fang Coatl legal" is your claim from back in the day AA wa...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 03/09/2020)

I wonder why nobody is trying to present such data, but just repeats it over and over again, as if that would make it true. I also wonder how you manage to come up with such sanctimonious, hypocritical BS statements when you failed to do the very thing you think others should do. Still waiting for ...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 03/09/2020)

The main problem is, for me, that there is a person pushing for a twin agenda that his arguments were successfully disputed and instead of him admitting his arguments were not good enough, he is telling other people to shut up, and ignores the 70% of their arguments. You think you were successful i...

I asked politely numerous times.

Matchups? Win rates? Recorded matches? Nothing. So why should anyo...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 03/09/2020)

This is probably not as definite as you are suggesting but definitely a risk. This is also a huge reason why I have supported AA for a while now. In the grand format scheme, I believe it is far better to have a bunch of these 3C/4C goodstuff piles that are fundamentally interactive/reactive strateg...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 03/09/2020)

I'd much rather have interactive Snow piles punishing the linear degenerate decks then simply let them run rampant. They've had the last four years to themselves, minus a week or to here and there. And we want to give it right back to them? Come on now, if it's too strong, it's too strong. Doesn't ...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 03/09/2020)

Would like Astrolabe and Veil both to go, although I could see it being just either one. Astrolabe would dial back all the most relevant snow shell cards just a bit, so collectively it'll make a pretty decent impact imo. Snake gets slightly worse, Mystic Sanctuary gets slightly worse, Uro gets sligh...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 03/09/2020)

What happened to humans? I look away for one second and its totally out of the meta; it even survived lurrus so I'm just a little surprised. Are snow decks just pushing it out with midrangey value? Yeah, the cards in the snow shell match up too well against Humans. Humans actually did make some adj...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 03/09/2020)

So, some players can play UW Stoneblade and win a Modern challenge or top 8 one, even once, or go several 5-0 with it, but you complain about UW Stoneblade not serving you well on MODO practise rooms, which is the thing you are doing. That seems at least not reasonable and it seems like you are not...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 03/09/2020)

So, I might be a little blind right now to AA requiring further action. I can certainly agree that the statistics don't lie though, and going by mtgtop8, 22% of decks playing it as a 4 of is alarming. It's the most played non land 4 of in the format, with Monastery Swiftspear being in second place ...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 03/09/2020)

Let's not also forget these new powerful ramp cards in M21 are supposed to be in the same standard as Oko, ouat, WAR Nissa and various other ridiculous powerhouse green cards. If anyone's also following the Arena Player's Tour, UG is something like 35+ % of the Meta and has also overperformed in ter...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 03/09/2020)

41% of decks on 2,5 copies of Veil of Summer . Forget all the qualitative arguments. That's just a fact. I don't understand how anybody is arguing about this. And this still doesn't prove Veil is making blue and black unplayable like you claimed. What are we supposed to be arguing? Is Veil a busted...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 03/09/2020)

Are you forgetting that Shadow Decks are UBx? Or that Jund is base black? Because Black has been fairly popular in Modern for years. Lest we forget that control decks now are UWx + Green mostly because of Veil and Uro. The post i replied to made reference purely to UB, so i did not think it necessa...

I'm tired of this "It's legal, so he has every right to play it" argument. Nobody is disputing that. It's completely beside the point and a shallow non-argument. Never defended the card. Veil is disgusting. You thinking it's justified to throw insults at other players because they play a ...

I just got double Veil of Summer ed in g1 by an Ad Nauseam Player. I insulted him, saying he must be really dumb if he can't find a way to win a game of magic other than 4x maindeck Veil. He said I'm a toxic player and left the game. And you know what? I don't regret a single thing. I stand by my w...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 03/09/2020)

In Legacy ALL combo decks can win on T1, with the exception of Infect, Elves and Cloudpost Ramp. T3 might be more common, but not for lack of ability. Still, plenty -if not all of them- can win through disruption , even in those first couple of turns. In Modern the T4 rule isn't about winning throu...

I rest my case, as I think its one of those cases where you are not going to change your mind. Numbers were given, people who actively play legacy said their piece, but it seems that you want to be right, even if you were proven wrong. I just think data > opinionated post from someone who does not ...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 03/09/2020)

Unless there's a language barrier, how does that breakdown prove me wrong? Your dataset is 6 months in which 37% is combo and 38% is aggro, are you going for pedantic or dishonest? Your dataset includes the full companion %$#% show, and aggro has Eldrazi decks (which it is), but it definitely is de...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 03/09/2020)

I've played (and watched) Legacy. I never claimed Legacy was a T1 race, but those decks DO exist and they're a large percentage of the meta, if not the biggest. And that's with almost no competitive spotlight on Legacy. "but those decks DO exist" Correct "they're a large percentage o...
