unless it's like Spheres in which case we may never see more xd

This is what we got going on rn

But meta is slightly too fast rn for this to succeed

He's a free instant speed sac outlet for 2

He is a sac outlet

He's a free one that's not once per turn or sorcery speed

I will finally cash in my currency on MTG:A for packs

hey how many tokens you want to make?

#

no but seriously tho, how many tokens would this be making

#

like is this an exponential equation

polar lake
#

if i did my math correctly

#

192

from one

so im assuming the equation is x(3*2^2)?

Craft is basically Synchro Summoning

#

first there was Meld (Fusion Era)

and now we got Craft (Synchro Era)

sudden lava
#

How is it synchro?

#

Dinosaur dragon 😮

zinc shard
#

Well you have the card with Craft (The tuner) and the other materials (The non-tuners)

sudden lava
#

I see

#

bruh why does every set have to have a dragon.

Note that the ability is secretly 1 mana if the frog is untapped

I feel like reach on a mana dork was already crazy but the deathtouch ability makes it amazing

only good card in lost caverns so far

fallow citrus

what the dog doin

sleek ferry
#

Why does this look fake

fallow citrus
#

it's an mtga reveal

sleek ferry
#

Ah, for the alchemy set?

fallow citrus
#

no just for the set

sleek ferry
#

So this is an mtga exclusive, but not an alchemy card?

fallow citrus
#

no it's a card in the set

#

the mtga account is just revealing it

#

and assuming because it's the account revealing it they're revealing it in the mtga card style

sleek ferry
#

Ah okay, cause I’m thrown off by the set symbol looking different

fallow citrus
#

probably just how the set icon is on mtga

it's the same as normal just the middle is white instead of gray/black

Good reprint since I think this was on the pricier side

sleek ferry
#

It was in the last core set, so it shouldn’t have been that pricy

trail anvil

it shows the cheapest listing as $28 so that's pretty up there

There's gnomes on Ixalan?

How problematic would this be

why did you post this twice

rich bronze
#

Oops

#

Thought this was a different server

fallow citrus
#

😔

rich bronze
#

Typo

fallow citrus
#

so you pop an arti and they can rebuy any creature or arti?

rich bronze
#

Basically

#

Creature or arti

#

And they rebuy anything

fallow citrus
#

sounds kinda not worth using then if they have anything good in yard

#

unless you like pop chalice so you can keep playing or smth

rich bronze
#

More of a last resort

#

Basically you can only use it once

rich bronze
#

Because they can return the thing you destroyed last time

#

On the second go

fallow citrus
#

maybe I'm just thinking worst case but like

in response your opp just goes cycle troll or smth

they get a free fatty in for nothing

I mean syvelun is good just maybe not as a commander

Do Merfolk even have a commander option?

but like manland tribal isn't a thing and you can't just put marit lage into standard lmfao

like ideally they'd kind of give you nerfed versions of stuff good in legacy for lands if they really wanted to push lands as a thing

but clearly they're just going for something cute and flavourful

No way the German word for "destructionist" is "Kaputmacher"

#

Also he seems cedh viable

fallow citrus

yeah you just make things go kaput

Its not a great translation but that word doesn't really have one

also weaker if it gets removed before battle phase

What was the best Modern deck ever? We made our community vote for one deck to represent each year since 2011, played four rounds of Swiss, and now we bring you each match of the Top 8. Carl is playing Thoralf and either Grief or Croudpost could be knocked out of the tournament.

Is it weird that I agree with a Kibler take

rigid scarab
#

||God I love that match||

rigid scarab
#

And basically

#

If he wanted to play competitive, that's what 60 card is for

#

(I still like cedh, this is just in response to 'cedh is the best way to play edh', I don't think there's a definitive best way)

twilit canyon
rigid scarab
#

That's really aggressively costed too

sleek ferry
#

Playing competitive standard is not the same as playing competitive pioneer, and that’s not the same as playing competitive modern

rigid scarab
#

There not being sanctioned cedh events might be one thing

#

At least iirc

lusty trench
#

Y'all aren't ready for this

#

CHEAP WHITE REMOVAL

rigid scarab
#

But honestly from what I've seen online the hatred that casual edh and competitive edh players have for each other is on the same level of like

lusty trench
#

We've come so far

rigid scarab
#

Casual vs competitive yugioh

#

If not more

twilit canyon

we have plenty of cheap white removal now but this is nice

Versatility of it is higher too

#

Crazy

twilit canyon
#

its worse vs some decks better vs others

sleek ferry
#

Get Lost hitting enchantments is super nice though

meager isle
#

Like you have to add rules so that they don’t become cedh

rigid scarab
#

I dont think sanctioned edh tournaments are a thing period

#

I dont think any sanctioned edh events have prizing

#

They're all just made or added in by stores I think

#

And yeah adding prizing to your edh event and questioning why everyone brought their best deck is weirdchamp for sure

sleek ferry
#

the play to win boys make cedh fun

glad peak
#

Cedh is definitely fun as is edh without very specific types of people but I have no idea why some of the people playing edh don’t play yugioh because yugioh’s much more thematic than magic

rigid scarab
#

Never said cedh wasn't fun

#

I love Rocco and Etali

#

But I don't see it becoming the main way I play edh

rigid scarab
#

Either saltlords or screeching about you misplaying

subtle sierra
#

i have no point of reference to say if it's good or not

twilit canyon
#

maps require a creature on board to use

sleek ferry
#

and then 1 mana a pop to explore

twilit canyon
#

unlike clues or blood, they are also sorcery speed locked

glad peak
#

I didn’t say you thought cedh wasn’t fun nyaruhodo

rigid scarab
subtle sierra
#

oh sorc speed is a good point

glad peak
#

But yeah tbh I was referring to people who get mad that you’re not playing a themed deck

twilit canyon
#

maps are actually still pretty good dont get me wrong

subtle sierra
#

i'm a zoomer at mtg

twilit canyon
#

they are just way more limited and less universal than clues or blood

rigid scarab
#

Thats sort of my thing

glad peak
#

I’m playing a thematic deck, my deck is about a mermaid who was devoted to a god going into a cult and getting lost in it nyaruhodo

rigid scarab
#

The unwritten rule of cedh is to always make the optimal move

#

Which is very dubious

rich bronze
rigid scarab
#

Sometimes you will get people actually just coaching you

subtle sierra
#

i play a little here and there between formats, i like mtg i just get bored by it fast

rich bronze
subtle sierra
#

just that i only play standard so

glad peak
#

Eh I coach my friends time to time because there’s a weird interaction or combo they don’t know about

twilit canyon
#

imagine recommending someone get into modern with scales

rigid scarab
meager isle
#

Just play burn

rigid scarab
#

Fable isnt banned

  1. stop pinging me
  2. that sounds like shit advice
  3. i'm only interested in standard
rich bronze
#

Great fun deck

meager isle
#

But it isn’t beginner friendly

#

Like at all

twilit canyon
#

i would not hand scales to a new modern player

#

bogles maybe, burn sure, mill too

rigid scarab
rich bronze
#

meh, it’s a great deck to learn the format with

twilit canyon
#

but not acales

#

*scales

rich bronze
#

only burn is viable out of those three

meager isle
#

Scales teaches you nothing you can use for other decks

glad peak
#

I’m fine with scales to a new modern player if they know math in that it’s most of the time stompy

rich bronze
#

And scales is a lot more viable than burn

meager isle
#

???

twilit canyon
#

ehhhh

#

it can depend on your lga

#

*lgs

glad peak
#

It teaches you quite a lot

rich bronze
#

scales is a GREAT first deck

meager isle
#

No it isn’t

glad peak
#

Scales is slightly more viable than burn recently but both are close

#

I wouldn’t call it a good first deck though

rich bronze
#

I mean honestly the best deck to learn the format with is Murktide but idk if a new player should touch it

meager isle
#

A new player on scales is going to lose 100% of their games

rich bronze
#

Not true if they learn a few lines

#

But tbh burn isn’t a great intro to modern

fallow citrus
rich bronze
#

I like burn

glad peak
#

The best first deck is creativity because they have a random chance of just winning and that boost in confidence is more needed than teaching game principles

meager isle
#

“Not true if they get better”

meager isle
rich bronze
meager isle
#

I’m iffy on anything with hand hate

rich bronze
#

As in, for new players?

meager isle
#

Yes

rich bronze
#

Agreed

glad peak
#

Creativity has enough random wins it keeps people in but enough other principles that you can learn

rich bronze
#

Creativity isn’t super good rn so I wouldn’t suggest anyone build it unless they like the deck itself, but the deck will stick around so

glad peak
#

Teaching someone scam where you virtually win rather than straight up win is not great since they can just screw it up

rich bronze
#

Scam is easier to pilot than creativity tbh

#

Both aren’t hard

#

but scam has more free wins

glad peak
#

I wouldn’t care for new players starting with the best of best decks, just decks that aren’t too complicated and are good enough

rigid scarab
#

Mono white humans nyaruhodo

glad peak
#

Scam has more free virtual wins but not literal wins, new players are more likely to fumble the ball in a massive winning position

rich bronze
#

That’s true

#

When creativity “wins” you sorta know it’s over

#

Hard to screw up

#

scam… yeah

#

it’s a “win” but it’s 4 turns away

glad peak
#

Scam it’s a lot more easy to screw up funny enough

rich bronze
#

My intro to pioneer was heroic

#

Still my fav deck of the format

glad peak
#

First deck you should learn is storm nyaruhodo

rich bronze
#

Is storm viable anywhere rn

#

TES is dead right

glad peak
#

Not really but it is a deck

rich bronze
#

Ruby storm too

glad peak
#

TES is decent

#

But I’m not talking about legacy

#

Gifts storm in modern is ???

glad peak
#

Gifts storm KEKW

rich bronze
#

Not to mention fable, w6, t3f, etc

glad peak
#

Oh I don’t think they should learn 4c creativity

#

Actually maybe

#

There’s enough leeway in modern landbases

rich bronze
#

W6 is my favourite modern legal card

#

honestly the reason I stick with the format

meager isle
#

Cancerous card

rich bronze
#

makes soup good

Hope it gets banned someday

If it wasn’t already banned, unless we get wasteland, it ain’t

Make it the waste strip loop format

Yeah lmao the preordain unban was

Like 80%

#

A guy on the B&R committee being mad

#

That murk isn’t tier S

glad peak
#

I’m fine with the preordain unban but the wording in that post was sus

#

“Murktide was not performed as well” was part of it iirc

It read like “I want my deck to be good”

fallow citrus

#

Haven’t seen anyone play storm forever

I play all local legacy events

Shadow is super popular

I love playing against shadow

I’d play delver tbh

trickery was 2 mana

also trickery didn't care about the mana value of the countered spell, it could just grab anything

whereas if you counter something that costs 0 with this, you're only going to get another thing that costs 0

why is it called "scam"

you are cheating on the mana and cards that are normally supposed to be sent to the graveyard

I thought it was because it "scams" the opponent out of having a fair game

Basically the story is that the first person to play BR ephem in its current form

#

So… “scam”

meager isle
#

that's literally what misty said

rich bronze
#

Was streaming, and during a match with d00mwake ( who was also streaming ) he said “this is a scam, I can’t lose” ( he had a really good hand)… but he did, and d00mwakes chat started calling the deck “the scam deck”

If you watch d00mwake stream

#

so none

rich bronze
#

you’d prolly have heard it

meager isle
#

yes that tends to happen when everyone calls it scam

rich bronze
#

But no, I conducted extensive research on the question

#

No clips of the stream exist

#

But it was a while before anyone OUTSIDE of d00mwakes chat

#

Called it scam

#

Like a good month or so

#

people actually started calling it scam ironically after the initial laugh

#

Because doomwake tried the deck and it didn’t work

#

So it became a “scam” in the sense that you were wasting money on it

rich bronze
# meager isle yes that tends to happen when everyone calls it scam

I am 99% certain that this is the timeline

  1. d00mwake says “this is a scam on stream” => chat starts calling BR Ephem “scam deck” ( not “scam” )
  2. d00mwake tries the deck, doesn’t work => chat starts calling it “scam” as in “it’s a waste of money”
  3. It gains popularity/is refined and is known as “scam” because “it scams you out of a game” which is not the original meaning technically
