1. Keep politics out of magic
2. What happened to Travis Woo and the magic for bad group is outrageous. It was closed, private group for people to say whatever they wanted to without hurting anyone. Emma Handy literally had to create a fake profile, and then ask to be added. If that is the lengths you will go to to be offended, then have a good look in the mirror.
3. Public defamation of a person is bad, continual harassment is worse. But worse than both of those things by far is Fascism. Which is ecactly what Eric Frohlich called for when he suggested a group of likeminded individuals sweep the mean streets of the internet looking for people thinking wrongthink and DCI banning them. Hitler had that kind of political supression squad. It also happened in the French revolution. Reddit is also a hive of scum and villainy. "If you have any thoughts cotrary to those of the moderators, you are banned, no matter how reasonable or thoughtfully constructed. Echo chamber or bust"
What Jeremy did was wrong. Some of what has happened in it's wake is crazy, and makes me fear for the future.

You play more fastlands because they're amazing when the deck only plays 1-2 4 drops, and because bolt aint what it used to be so Blooming marsh is amazing.
How do we fair against deaths shadow? It's a VERY interesting matchup. They have the ability, on the play, to play 2-3 hand attack/fatal pushes/snap hand attack and SHRED hour hand and leave us with no impact then kill us. We on the play have the aility to turn 2/3 blood monn GG no re. Also, if we rip a moon off the top at any time and they don't have us dead in the next 2 turns on board, then we become the favorite. Same goes for a chameleon colossus really. It comes down to each players keep. I recomed mulligaining aggresivley game 1 to either a turn 2 moon, or multiple LD threats. Don't play around stubs too much either.
Should you mull to 6 more often? Maybe. Against aggresive decks, probably. You can't afford to be a turn slow. Against midrange, control and E tron. Mediocre 7s often win. A turn 3 moon reks midrange and E tron, and tron on the play. But in unknown matchups it comes down to intuition. I was on the play the other week in an unknown and mulled away 6 lands 1 scooze. My 6 was 4 lands, arbor elf courser of Kruphix. Keep, scry land bottom. Got turn 1 thoughtsiezed. By deaths shadow. GG.
Game 2 of round 1 I died with 2 Rest in peace in hand when I couldn't fetch or sprawl for white. If I had 2 relics I would have been fighting a 2/2 knight, not a 6/6
Game 2 of round 2 vs Red white I couldn't cast a goblin dark dwellers to anger his board because I had drawn my Temple garden, rather than a fetch or Foothills
Then later in the game, I didn't emblem a chandra because I had 1 uncastable card in hand (Molten rain) And it turns out the next card would have been Dark dwellers. So a chandra emblem if I had 2 red cources would have delt 15 in 2 turns and been very very lethal
Game 3 of round 5 I again didn't have double red because of temple garden. This meant I couldn't anger away a pair of young pyros and about 6 tokens n turn 5
Matchups
Round 1 0-2 loss to Bant knightfall (AGAIN!!!) with vizier combo in it. Game 2 drew 2 RIPS but never had a fetch or sprawl and died to a knight.
Round 2 0-2 loss to red white humans. An aggro humans deck with blood moon, lightning helix and boros charm. Temple garden cost me game 2 single handedly
Round 3 2-0 win vs Grixis deaths shadow (rip helped)
Round 4 2-1 win vs Eldrazi Tron (stony helped)
Round 5 1-2 loss to deaths shadow (Temple garden somewhat cost me game 3)
Round 6 2-0 win vs Boros Burn
What can I say? I hate me some Bant company. F**k that deck.
White splash gets a trial by fire.
I've had exactly the same thought, but haven't had the balls to pull the trigger on it yet.
I own half this deck. Should I buy the other (expensive) half?
I am a good magic player, been playing magic for a few years, and modern for over a year. I own burn and Ponza. But I love me some Eldrazi.
A few other questions.
Do you think you're as good or better than Eldrazi tron?
How much of a pain in the ass is a blood moon( it doesn't seem too bad for you guys, since you play dorks and scions can sac for colorless, but I hate greedy mana that punishes you)
What is your worst matchup?
What are your meta relevant good matchups?
Are you better than Bant knightfall?
Is there a single card that reks you when you face it?
Cheers for your time bois.
That's what happens when you're the last players playing, and that's what happens when you play lantern.
Glad you had fun though.
Hahaha perhaps. Stormbae is very good there, dark dwellers bolting an avacyns pilgrim to take him off white was also handy. Inferno titan would certainly have been good, but it's not every day you play against double humans.
That's hot tho
Match 1 vs Bant knightfall.
I lose the die roll 11-10, then get steamrolled by an angry bunch of mana dorks, Thalias and Thalia's lieutenants. I started the game with a bonefire in hand, but never saw a mana dork, and when I drew my 2nd bonefire it was T2. GG
Game 2 and I was in a stable situation. He passes to me on turn 4 with 4 mana up, I smell coco. I had GDD lightning bolt and anger of the gods in hand, 3 mana on board. He has a thalias lt and a noble heirarch with 1 counter. I bolt the heirarch, he casts coco in response. I sit, silently hoping he hits sweet FA or maybe a spell queller or something. He hits DOUBLE thalias lt. GG.
Match 2 vs Eldrazi tron.
Everything about my opponent was tilting. An obese salty person, who played lands in front of spells. It was my pleasure to turn them into mountains game 1, and then finish her off with a Stormbreath dragon
Game 2 was less good. Mulled to 6, and was a turn behind the game all game. She landed reshaper and TKS before I mooned, and when I played the stormbreath she had the all is dust
Game 3. FINALLY!!! A good hand with dorks and LD, no threats. But I rated it 7.5/10 (x2 land, x3 LD, sprawl, bonefire.
Turn 2 I blow up her 1 land. Turn 3 I blow up her 1 land, turn 4 I blow up her 1 land, turn 5 I moon her (still no threats) and she never misses a land drop as she casts rachet bomb, smasher smasher. GG. 9 lands. FML
Match 3 vs Bant knightfall. Again
Game 1 was super close. I got my opponent to 4 with chandra and bonefires, but he's turned the corner and is coming back hard. He paths a mana dork and I fetch. There was a stormbreath on top of my library because ******* of course there was. He wins the game on 1 life.
Game 2, turn 4 stormbreath. GG
Game 3. He starts agressivley, but is running out of gas, I stabilize with a stormbreath and pass. On 11 life. He has4 creatues (3 of them white) with 6 power between them. He casts a pre combat coco. Hits double thalias LT. Kills me.
At this point I obviously can't top 8 and would rather commit suicide than play another game of magic today. I drop.
Can't win em all I guess. I had a lvl 1 judge who is a buddy of mine watch all my games. he told me I made no strict misplays ( I think I agree)and no obviously wrong keep/mull decisions. Sometimes modern just beats you.
