thats not possible youll have to choose a target for vesuva as it comes into play. as both come into play at the same time the crossroads is no legal target for vesuva.
easy cut then i guess
you sure? it's not like Valakut + scapeshift? as they come all into play at the same time, they're, in fact in play triggering valakut that many times?
even if that's illegal, i wouldn't cut kabira crossroads
Edit: i believe in fact it's possible. I take the example of living end. if there's, say a clone in the yard, when it comes back into play you can choose to copy a creature brought back by the LE.
Edit 2: my bad, you can't. that means two things: i've cheated people and i've been cheated. Anyways, i will still support Kabira crossroads, just exchanging the package to Kabira + karoo, then play it again.
I don't run Kabira. Kessig is mostly to kill with inkmoth which is an answer to infinite life. I haven't tested stirrings but I feel serum visions should be better.
You should run both serum visions AND stirrings as they let you cut down on the number of karroos the deck runs (im currently at 8 karroos and contemplating going down to 7, with 25 total lands, 4x serum and 3x stirrings).
I like kabria because repeated lifegain is pretty sweet, its slot is a meta-dependent one, and you might be better suited running a cavern of souls or a bojuka bog depending on the composition of your meta
Hello everyone, I though of an interesting concept possible for the titan build (without hivemind)
it came about as a way to get more view out of ancient strings. proteus staff
a few explanations.
the deck could only run titans (and a possible emrakul/hideaway land concept)
colony gardens would have to be present
ancient strings can find it!!!!
Hivemind to me does still seem better, I just wanted to share since im unable to test.
And for those who are putting in the time to make this deck, I thank you.
Hmm, so I had finished my creature base with what seems to be the standard 4 Titan 3 Azusa 1 Oracle build with double Hive Mind. Still, I'm finding that I go off less consistently than I was with Explores...I end up with tons of land on board, but so much less gas.
Has anyone else done extensive testing with Explores?
Second that. The cantrip is nice, but I dont see the room or the advantages of them. You need 2 amulets for it to ramp you. What are you cutting to have them? If strings or a scry spell its much better left out.
The point isn't a ramp; it's a more consistent way to play the midrange game in case there's no T3 combo. It is true Azusa does help with the T3 combo though. They used to be replacements for 2x Azusas and an Oracle before I had them. It seems now that I just poop out my lands earlier now, but I have nothing to do with them and no relevant hand. Before, it seems I was able to hit the right amount of lands at the same time I could play a win condition, and it's not actually much slower than if I ramp with Azusa barring the combo. Now I'm back wishing I had some amount of Explores most games. I'm leaning towards going back to 2 Azusa and no Oracles so I had Explores.
I definitely still have the Serum Visions and also 3 Stirrings with a Trinket Mage. On top of that I've got scry lands as well, which have been amazing.
Hey guys one 4-0 and a bunch of 3-1's recently with this deck in MTGO modern dailys.
JusTimur (twice), cjlack92(twice), and LordCommanderSnow. I also 3-1'ed one on 12/15/13 but they only seem to post one modern daily per day. I may have forgotten a name here. Sorry to those I forgot. Feel free to add any.

totally agree with this, I went to oracle, then back to explore. Its not a great card, but it isnt really ever dead, and it can bridge the gap in the early turns if we dont get the cards we need to combo
I started a new youtube channel guys and I may pick the deck back up and make some videos with it in the next few weeks. Just need to consider what i want the list to be of. Then i will run it through some Daily Events.
I use 3 Serum Powder in my deck to help me have amulet in the open hand.
it is useful sometime, but still I'm not sure about this card, is it necessary?

If you want to guarantee amulet run 3 Trinket Mage. Card can fetch explosives, pithing needle, darksteel citadel, amulet, chalice of the void.

Redundancy never hurts when it is an alternate win condition that doesn't clash with other win conditions.

Best video games of all time:
4. Metal Gear Solid
3. Super Mario 64
2. Ocarina of Time
1. Cave Story
^ Seriously, play it and thank me later.
Titan 65, Hive mind 35. Its essential to the deck having hive mind and allows you to beat things like unlimited life and other such nonsense.
I've also won a number of times with inkmoth nexus. Most recently my opponent cast Runed Halo naming primeval titan. I swung for 10 infect next turn

they won't unban it. Its too degenerate for far too many decks
Pact is also there for the hivemind combo.
