    Does anyone have a digital render of Jace Beleren but with the artwork from the book Agents of Artifice?

    Any reason Ajani Vengeant isnt used anymore? Helix on demand and tapping down seems to do almost the same as preventing damage and finally the meaningful ultimate that can completely blow out someone is also scary. Not that it's a huge buff but if there is alot of BG in your LGS meta Ajani also dodges Abrupt Decay

    I quit somewhere around Khans I want to say... I was piloting a Jeskai Tempo build utilizing geist as my main wincon. I'm aware that's probably not the optimal way to play UWR control anymore, or even back then honestly haha, but right before I quit my bestfriend bought me a playset of Cryptics for my bday and I was in the process of converting my tempo deck to a full fledged control one. This is my list as it's sleeved now.



    Firstly, Idk what happened to the remainder of my SB but oh well I have some stuff that could slot in there haha...
    I was noticing the complete lack of Resto nowadays so i guess she's no longer needed. As well as the inclusion of SV or Opt in alot of lists now. Mana leak got replaced by Logic not which is odd to me haha, since i was sitting on a ton for pauper before i guess it got a reprint.
    When i was going for my new control deck i didnt really know where to go with it, only that I really wanted to try 1 card out as a wincon which was Krenos. He seems like a super solid late game finisher that is hard to play around.

    Any feedback would be appreciated Smile

    Hey guys I recently came back into the game for casual EDH thanks to a friend. Turns out my LGS hosts modern FNMs now which is awesome because i had a fully tooled out UWR Geist Tempo deck. Since this deck is tier 1 now and most similar could anyone point me to what a meta list looks like now? I only can find shells and staple cards but not what a full 75 would look like, ty in advance

    So guys, Im running a standard RDW list, and I was wondering if you guys believe it's worth it to run fetches for the slight deck thin. I currently went 3-1 last FNM not losing at all in the early rounds and losing horribly in the first round of playoffs due to back to back mana flood. (Laughed when I top decked a lightning berserker with 8 mountains in play though, still didnt win)

    Yeah I was running mentor in my BW tokens list, and Zealous was always a blow-out, mainly because i had the board to provide it. And Zealous realllly shines against decks that run lingering souls all by its lonesome simply because its a good card. aka Lingering Jund or most Abzan decks.

    I'll consider adding one or 2 to my MD, I still need to playtest more and acquire the rest of the deck before my input is really relavent rather than hypothetical.

    Zealous seems bad in the match-up in my opinion, sense their tokens are beyond its reach if they have any of their anthems or a Zealous of their own. I only say this because I was a BW tokens player first, I merely adopted the blue to try this build very recently.

    EDIT: I'm not doubting the power of the card itself, I LOVE it my BW token build, however it just seems much weaker in this variant.

    Playtested with a hyper Aggresive version of BW tokens and got stomped. Never did any damage, his tokens were better than mine. Early aggression kept me on thr backfoot the entire game. Sideboard options for that deck?

    Hello guys, Just dropping in from the BW tokens thread, finally picked up my playset of mentors so I'm ready to have them put in some work. Honestly don't know if they will be better in a pure tokens strategy or here where they generate advantage through excessive tempo. I love playing blue so nows as good a time as any to splash. Hopefully you'll see me around more often.

    As of right now I'm missing 3 Creeping Tar Pits, 1 Slaughter Pact, the Spell Snares, Tasigurs, and murderous cuts. So I'm replacing all of that with mediocre placeholders like Smother, mana leak, geist, and dismember. Until I actually pick up the replacements, working with what I got.

    Hey guys just dropping in to post some thoughts and questions.

    Firstly, how good are the two "useful" BW token additions in standard right now? Namely Foul-Tongue shriek and Harsh sustenance. Well, I guess I can't ignore secure the wastes... I feel all 3 are a bit to cute, opinions?


    How good do you think removing all crestures from the list and shoving 4 Monastery Mentors will do?

    I've seen the green splash going for this with hornet's nest for 13 flying deathtouch dudes. Blood artist for practical life gain rather than the obnoxious life you gain after you already cast your winning card (Act). Green also offers access to Wrap in vigor or Natural affinity. And Vizkopa Guildmage is a good one for the splash. Secondary win con. Some thoughts. Chain reaction is also B.Act 5-8.

    sorry I totally skipped out on the details of your deck... That's the combo variant. This is a midrangey tokens list...

    ey guys just dropping in to ask about the sudden rise in infect's tier listing. What's the deal? I've had a little UG infect list put together for awhile but it never really performed to the degree i wanted it to. What changed recently to make it tier one? and I heard mono G infect is a big thing now, anyone care to explain?

    Oona's grace seems out of place in my opinion. It costs 3, and every time you cast it again you are pitching a land and you only run 16. Seems really risky.

    Are DTT or TC even viable with a set of snapcasters? Because I love my snaps, and would never run less than four.

    is ninja the cut to make for more Treasure cruise? My list just two Frostburn weirds for two copies. I think 4 might be a little much, but i know i always wanna draw one,so maybe i could run 3. They're really bad if you get more than two though.
