I don't believe that Grim Reminder acts as you think it does. It never says that you put the card you reveal into your hand. All it does is let you shuffle, and maybe, in a very rare case, cause the opponent to lose six life. I like the idea of Manamorphose that you mentioned in an earlier post, even if it is only for the cantrip.
I just looked Keiga up, I didn't realize it was so expensive now. Any idea what got it up to that price?
I'm not sure what she was last time you looked up the price, but ever since I had gained interest in her, she has always been a consistent six dollars. What I do know is that it's rather difficult to find one though, so MM I think will help with that.
I've been busy with work, school business, and camping. Finally things have calmed down a bit.
I'm not good when it comes to pricing, but I agree it might be better to just buy the singles you are looking for. I might buy a pack or two myself, but really all I'm looking for is a Keiga, the Tide Star.
Which Modern decks do you run, Bartuk6? I'm putting together a Gifts Ungiven deck at the moment but it's so difficult to find the cards without spending ridiculous amounts of money.
Both are listed in my signature, one is Mono Black Aggro Zombies, and the other is budget Esper Spirits and Spirit Tokens. And I understand about not wanting to spend a lot of money on cards.
As is, you are much more aggro than he is. He uses more controlly cards, like Oblivion Ring and Mana Tithe but none of his creature spells cost more than a cmc of 2. But these are all just suggestions, definitely do what works for you.
Atogatog is very flavorful, and I second the request for a decklist please.
I really wish that the card shops in my area had a better selection of singles, I'm six cards away from having both my Modern decks be non-proxy, my zombie one took 2 years to finish. /sigh.
A friend of mine runs a mono white list, but he also runs Mirrorweave. What he does is he tries to get out more creatures, and attacks when he knows he has enough on the board so he can Mirrorweave a Wizened Cenn during combat to one shot them.
cool, i was on a hiatus when masque was released so i didn't know about those
You bring a legitimate concern. It's true that without bob you can one for one your opponent's threats only for so long. In that regard, grim also creates card advantage by turning fetches and spells into more removal/burn.
I usually try to bait my opponent into using his removal spells on my early drops, holding bob until the coast is clear later. Exposing your bob too early isn't always the best option, even if the payoff can be big. Seeing my opponent's hand really helps making those decisions.
Many matchups are winnable without bob but sometimes you really need him to stick.
If your results have proven well enough for you, which is most important, then, like I said, I really like the list. I may try it out with my play group.
Thanks, i didn't know this color combination had a name
Yeah, all the wedges have a name. GUB is Ana, GUR is Ceta, GWB is Necra, and WUR is Raka. But that's sort of off topic.
I really like this list, but it seems you want to get your Bob's really early. It looks like you can run out of juice quite quickly with out them, that's my only real concern about this.
If I remember correctly the card shop I went to today had a sign that said MM was mid June. I hope that they will spoil more soon, I'm excited thinking about what might be reprinted.

I'm not sure if I missed it in the rest of the thread somewhere, but what is CDCC?
Also all this talk of EDH building has got me started on a new deck as well. I'm going to try something new for me, more control, less aggro.
Turned out awesome, you rock. Thank you so much.
