Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 01/13/2020)

I sold all of my OUATs on mtgo on Saturday after Regionals. They didn't break the bank on paper, and I made more than enough in store credit at my LGS playing them to not feel bad about it. I'm a little shocked by no pioneer banned. Totally swung and missed at that prediction. I was on 4C Shadow wit...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 01/13/2020)

I didnt think of that. If astrolabe can basically make players say, "hey, let's play a good color 4c stuff and pack in all the best stuff in one fair deck", why is drs off the table? If you're going by that philosophy, you may as well let the good stuff 3 color decks play drs. I am in no w...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 01/13/2020)

...Because it breaks the color pie without any drawbacks. That's why 4C shouldn't be viable. I don't really think I need to clarify more than that.

Jesus, guys. Some of your opinions border on satire.

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 01/13/2020)

Nothing that's snapping the format in half, its just an unhealthy card with no drawback. Blood Moon can't even fight the meta properly because of that card, though. I think Titan is on borrowed time, even though Sheridan has expressed the community being short on losing more modern pillars. I like W...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 01/13/2020)

A combination of both. I think looting and mox needed to go for a while and i made my feelings clear about them, especially loot. I do believe modern would be healthier without titan and would elect to keep tron as the ramp deck to reign in midrange. Tron lands can be interacted with easier than the...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 01/13/2020)

1 cmc for card-filtering, discard and tutors would be way too powerful. It'd also reduce the drawback of having discard in all matchups. It's not though. Look at what Modern is right now. Look at the cards that have been unfathomably pushed. A modal answer for 1cmc is about right at this point. Tha...

Re: [Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 01/13/2020)

So, I have seen Titan become extremely prevalent on MTGO, the Philadelphia Classic and a 75 man IQ I attended this weekend. The room literally must have been at least 15% of Titan decks. The winner of the recent classic played against Titan----a whopping 6 times. The deck is absolutely a problem. It...

I think I'll stick with mono black aggro since nothing is truly safe in that format; plus mono black doesn't look like it'll be bad in that format anytime soon.

I'm gonna play Shadow tonight; I'm off of Jund for a while until major changes/bans occur.

[Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 01/13/2020)

I wonder if outside of standard midrange is ever really a slam dunk.

I am not begging for ramp to be gone, just to clarify.

I just deeply dislike how difficult it is to interact with cards in this format minus brutal efficient kill spells.

[Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 01/13/2020)

Andrea Meanguchi wrote an article months ago about why he doesn't like midrange. He feels like it's the worst of both worlds. Aren't delver decks in legacy kinda as long to midrange that's as competitive as you can be? I know he loves himself delver decks. Foodchain, I bought into mono black because...

[Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 01/13/2020)

Oh, trust me, I know. SCG Classic really made this crystal clear to me. I was doing well and then both versions of the combo deck said, "Oh, that's cute, you're playing modern wrong". We don't have legacy answers for such brutal and efficient threats/combos. Michael Rapport was definitely ...

[Official] State of Modern Thread (B&R 01/13/2020)

So, I played at the SCG classic yesterday, and was doing well until I went up the ladder and got completely obliterated by Amulet Titan and Titanshift. SCG was shockingly dominated by Prowess burn and Titan. If you honestly dedicated 75 percent of your sideboard to them you'd have been golden. Titan...
