MTG Salvation

Quote from crni

Its midrange with Geist and Thundermaw here. Currently is at 11-0.

That's too bad.

Quote from CommanderZ

Am I the only one to be seriously impressed by the variety of decks being played in modern currently? I remember everyone saying that modern is just jund and affinity not so long ago, but the meta seems really healthy to me.

You're right - there is also jund without red and jund with white.

Wish wizards would update the standings... Round 13 but the standings haven't been updated since round 10?? Come on...

Such good coverage, instead of watching neat decks lets watch Jund/junk, Pod and Twin all ****ing day. So much fun watching those boring as hell decks.

No, no, no lets not watch all the new and interesting decks...

Quote from Ghorak

Jan vs Enrico showed me the power of topdecks.
Flashback faithless looting... find both an Emrakul AND Goryo's Vengeance. With exactly enough mana to cast his Dispel backup.

that was an insane topdeck!

DING! DING!

Day 2 meta is out.

Unsurprisingly, BGx is the most common archetype.
15 Merfolk. That's gotta be a record.
0 Ninja Bear Delver. Yeah speculators, keep holding on to those Disrupting Shoals.

UWR control vs BGw rock on camera.

Wow, what a comeback for UWR.

Quote from Lantern

Those are different than I expected... but still dislike the jund end. I really hop this proves some unbannings are nessarry.

Unbans won't help the fundamental issue with Jund. (DRS)

UWR scooped Jund into T8.

3 Jund
1 A-Jund-i
1 UWR Midrange
1 Twin
1 RG Tron
1 UR Delver

4X BG WOOHOO!!!!!

didn't the UR delver/pyro deck get in?

Guess it's time to port over my decks to Legacy.

People should stop complaining already. The Meta is fine.

I didn't have much luck after R1 today, went 1-5, playing against some fringe decks and insane topdecks. Still, managed to munch someone's board with a Massacre Wurm, so...

To be fair 2 of the UWR decks almost had it over the 2 Jund decks.

The first one (Dezani) wasn't even close. Games 2&3 Jund got Thrun down and that was it.
The second one (Giusti) Jund would have won if not for extra turns. His opponent scooped him in anyway.

Man, I miss all the cool matches. I have to rewatch this stream for 8 rack.

Yes... trying to come up with different ways of saying "Its Jun...k, which is the black green shell... and next is.... jun...d... the best cards in black and green and red..."

Merfolk T16s. (Lukasz Szplit)
8 Rack deck turns out to be 7 Rack!
Previous GP winner Dickmann T32s. (His brother misses T64 by one place - so close!)

P.S. Twin got paired against Tron. I guess we won't be seeing Tron in the finals.
edit: Yep, Twin takes it 2-0.

Wouldnt mind seeing delver take it. I'm pretty sad at lack of aggro.

Izz, howd you see top 16?

I only know for sure:
Valentin Mackl played Jund
Lukasz Szplit played Merfolk

I think I saw Pierre Dagen and Amand Dosimont on coverage but can't really remember what they played. IIRC Dosimont played UWR.

Looks like 4 color Jund is most popular. But meta looks healthy, hope we get some unbans

Also

>wurmitzer
>plays wurmcoil engine

We need 1-2 really good unbans and for stuff in BNG to actually be Modern playable, not just what WoTC thinks is playable, i. e., Steam Augury.
