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

The fact the meta is the most diverse since decades ago is not debatable.

Companions or not.

How many of those decks run Lurrus.
Does it even matter? Cause they are very diverse and Lurrus is ONE card.

Anyway, six of them. (Burn, Prowess, Grixis Delver, 4C Shadow, Vizier, Esper Control).

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

Of course fun it's subjective. No doubts here.

But is it also the diversity? I saw many people pointing out that they were always face the same decks.

Modern Challenge top8 is a thing of beauty. Great diversity, even when Lurrus is overplayed.

So, we have a list with 20+ archetypes in and we're complaining?

No wonder it's always the same people being annoying about the format.

That's pretty rubbish, and you can see that from top8 results.

I don't get people being angry at Modern *every year*. There are individuals who complain since Twin's ban. For God's sake, just stop playing it if you don't think it's fun! Right now out there is plenty of very viable strategies: - UW/Bant Blade - Snow Control - Urza Variants - Jund - Amulet Titan ...

Re: [Primer] Esper Draw-Go Control

I was very confident - again - in Esper after the printing of Drown in the Loch.

Then, Titans happened and Thought Scouring the opponent was the worst thing you could do in the format. Since then, I see very little reasons to stay in Esper.

Re: [Primer] Esper Draw-Go Control

I didn't play at all in the last three months.

I tested something during the last week, and I honestly see zero reasons to stay in Esper. Bant Control is very powerful, and Sultai is a much better choice when you want to go the Draw-Go route. The latter has been phenomenal for me.

Re: Splinter Twin vs. Modern gauntlet testing discussion

TarmoTwin wants Serum Visions instead of Opt because of "sorcery" for Goyf.

I still think Jeskai would be the way (T3feri + Path).

Re: [Primer] Esper Draw-Go Control

There is a lot of sense in not playing Leylines. It's called consistency.

You can agree or disagree with the choice, it's fine. But one cannot deny what a card does. Leyline is far from being a strictly superior card.

Re: [Primer] Esper Draw-Go Control

Sorry to say this, but you seem to misunderstand when and against whom we side it. RIP in this deck isn't a catch all like in straight UW, where you board it in against things such as GDS or Grixis Control. It's a Dredge hoser. Nothing else. You bring it against strategies where you basically win on...

Re: [Primer] Esper Draw-Go Control

It doesn't answer Dredge. It's a temporary solution, and we win vs them with hard counter (aka: RIP or Leyline).

Good luck playing Guile on the draw, then.

Re: [Primer] Esper Draw-Go Control

RIP only enters in otherwise unwinnable matchups like Dredge. Where when you resolve it you care 0 about anything else.

Played vs Simic Urza, Amulet Titan, Red Prison, Temur Snow and UR Storm. Deck stays strong. Sanctuaries are dope.

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 08/26/2019)

GDS is the opposite of 'a consistent deck', but it's a 'powerful one' for sure. It doesn't play the same, but it's somewhat similar to the old Canadian Thresh.

Sb Decay our vs GDS is wrong, cause they hit walkers too (Scions, both Lily).

GDS is strong right now, not "awful". I don't get why we should always exaggerate.

I didn't miss them, cause I replaced Hulks with another creature that makes CA and beats down the opponent. I don't think there are other routes, either you play the first or the second.

It's actually one of the variants i'm testing, Not this exact list, but an Esper version of @aspiringspike Grixis Control. I don't know if cutting Kommands and Bolts to bring in Paths and Guiles is worth it. Certainty I dislike the walkers, it's a draw-go strategy. And Guiles conflict with Drown and...
