Re: [Deck] Humans

A recent 5-0 drop had 4x Charming Prince with 2x Kessig Malcontents main... seems like an interesting angle. Prince is showing up more and more.

Re: [Deck] Humans

I'm gonna try Kataki, War's Wage in place of two Ouphes, for Urza. I see at least one and often two Urza decks each night, and Kataki seems potentially better. I also have one Phyrexian Revoker in the side,

Re: [Deck] Humans

Haven't played for a while, but went 3-1 tonight. The deck still feels quite strong, but the breadth and rapid rate of change of the broader metagame seems tough to keep up with. I find it makes optimal lines much harder to spot. I think running Freebooters is good right now, so I can see what my op...

Re: [Deck] Humans

Big Thalia has been good for me in the past, on occasion. She's amazing against Tron when on the play. On the other hand, Tron gets punished by Ouphe and Gaddock Teeg as well. I agree that Deputy can be tricky to cast, but that's why I run the land package that I run--I have more sources of U than a...

Re: [Deck] Humans

Regarding Tenacious Knight, it seems to me that BR is a pretty restrictive casting cost for Humans, with only 12 lands that can produce either color.

Re: [Deck] Humans

Humans has so many good cards that I think this debate will always be with us at some level. One thing I like about Charming Prince is that it doesn't immediately die to Plague Engineer , which every black deck now plays as a 2-of in the side. I also think that if the format is super wide open right...

Re: [Deck] Humans

Prince seems situationally good. Since it nonbos with Image, maybe replace Image with Prince? Humans has so many candidate cards, it's an embarrasment of riches. We just have to trim to the strongest 75 for whatever's happening at the moment. I'm not sure the new ELD Humans are better than what we h...

Re: [Deck] Humans

Your idea about Meddling naming Sakura-Tribe Elder when on the play against Titanshift is a good one, and I've used that to some success in the past. Sin Collector seems good in that match, too. I'll add some notes to the pairing description above, thanks. I haven't seen classic Scapeshift in some t...

Re: [Deck] Humans

I dunno, I'm no pro, but I'm not sold on that list. I disagree with some of his reasoning, too. Xathrid seems just wrong to me, and Knight of Autumn might be called for, but not against Burn, at least not in a Mariner list. But of course he doesn't have Mariner. I don't know, it's going to be a very...

Re: [Deck] Humans

Personally, I'm not going to adjust my deck for SFM until I see how it's playing out. Who knows, maybe Phyrexian Revoker will be the tech we want. But I wholly agree on the 2 Deputy/3 Reflector/3 Image plan, since I've been doing that for a while now.

Re: [Deck] Humans

Hey, psyched to see you guys here! Glad to see a dialog. Welp, not to put too fine a point on it, but I have been crushing my large and active LGS for the past couple weeks. In my last 5 events I'm 19-2-1... and I've played from the draw in G1 in 16 of those 22 rounds. My shop is pretty serious and ...

Re: [Deck] Humans

My current list is just a little different than some--I am all-in on Deputy of Detention , playing two main and two side, and bringing them in often. Since Deputy overlaps with Reflector Mage, I am down to three of that card. And since Deputy can be hard to cast (though it is a Wizard), I tweaked my...

https://i.imgur.com/CeQYRvH.png Overview Modern Humans is a powerful, versatile, aggro/tempo deck, ultimately rooted in the venerable White Weenie archetype. Humans first exploded onto the Modern scene after the release of the cards Kitesail Freebooter and Unclaimed Territory in Ixalan. The additio...

Re: [Deck] Colorless Eldrazi Stompy

You can splash R or W for a good variant on this, but I think it's a mistake to dismiss the utility land package so quickly. Playing 21 utility lands effectively ups Colorless Stompy's spell count by a LOT, and this is extremely important, in a deck that has so many dead draws. I'm still waffling on...
