it is hard to compare it to other mythics since it is on the one hand a very powerfull card and on the other hand it doesn't see a lot of play in the current modern metagame. I just need 4 copies and the current price seems decent, but if it tanks when the MM2015 comes out online, I will not be happy...
Hey guys, I am new to this thread.
I like the controlling my opponent draws, but the win condition of the deck is milling right? and yet no big mill cards, doesn't it take ages for the deck to win? What happens if emrakul enters their graveyard? Isn't it very bad unless you have a relic in play?
Can someone give me the god hand of the deck and what you play turn 1, 2, and 3? (Guess 3 is bridge)
Is there a version of this list without mox opals? It's very expensive and I can't afford it.
Do you guys know about the bug with magus?
If opponent has multiple creatures at the beginning of his upkeep he puts all the pay 1 mana or sacrifice to all his creatures. If he taps mana before each trigger resolves, because of the bug he wouldn't be able to pay and will have to sacrifice all of his creatures. I have had, a few opponents loose all their creatures.
I don't remember a lot of details but I can tell you about part of the matches.
I won against jund, where I had boom/bust his BG pain land. After a couple of turns he played dark confidant, which got bolted right away.
He played goyf which was a 4/5 but I already had 2 ghostly prison in play and on top of that I had 4 lands and 1 maze land.
When he realized he can attack only to get exiled, he scooped.
The changes from your deck are -1 crubicle of worlds -2 fulminator Mage, +1 white leyline, +1 ajani vengeant +1 leonin arbiter. I added arbiter since it is an early blocker, and gives a hard time to fetch lands and birthing pod.
On another jund match I was on the draw with no boom bust, so I could land kill only on t3.
Opponent had turn 2 goyf and turn 3 Lilliana, which discarded a lot of my cards.
I destroyed a couple of lands but Lilliana took a lot my cards, pumping goyf in the process and I lost.
As I mentioned i played against mono red burn and lost, it was very annoying to see opponent sacrifice a mountain in response to my stone rain, while giving me 5 damage with this burn spell.
I played against BGW, lost game one when opponent succeeded to cast elspeth. I had culling scales which did nothing but kill his tokens until he had goyf and ultimate his elspeth, soon enough he won game one.
Game two, I had multiple land destruction spells and ghostly prison, after destroying 2 of his lands and casting ghostly prison, he couldn't recover and turn five worldqueller just finished his board and I won.
Game 3 I was able to cast boom bust in turn 2. He had no early drops and couldn't cast his late drops because he never had enough lands for it.
I played against gifts deck, first game I was lucky to have leyline on opening hand, which is very bad for him, and I won.
Game two i side boarded 3 rest in peaces and he was dead once again.
A card that gave me a lot of trouble was abrupt decay, killing my ghostly prison several times.
All and all, I am having fun with the deck, playing casually on tournament practice room, I will tweak the deck and if I will feel more confidant in her power I will try some 2man matches.
I tested with a list based on your land destruction deck.
I did ok and won several matches with frustrated opponents
I lost a lot to mono red burn, i play 1 leyline main but it wasn't enough if I did not have it in my opening hand.
Another thing I had a lot of trouble with was plain walkers .
Liliana or elspeth are very hard to deal with, without oblivion ring.
What do you do when the opponent drops one of those? Bolt is not enough to kill them at 4 loyalty.
i would guess no.
i have 3 slots, what to do with them?
seems solid, I think it is overpriced right not.
we are in the middle of the modern festival.
sell now?
Sell into the hype?
so now it is up, like many MM2015 cards.
why is that?
it is now 11.6, I know it is in MM 2015, where would you assume it will bottom?
