Feb 3, 2014TheLovelyLamia posted a message on Launch Giveaway!My favorite magic card is Hellkite Charger. The first time I saw it, I thought it was a really underpowered dragon with a useless ability. I soon learned how amazing haste is on a beefy enough flyer. While his ability has won me very few games, the games it has won have been memorable (including one where I killed three people over the course of two back to back attack steps) and I've won countless more games on the back of having a 5/5 hasty flyer at my disposal. The art is one of the most gorgeous dragons in magic, and I really want to see it make a proud return in a core set some day.Posted in: Announcements

The fact that we're getting more answers is very very good, though.
Just PLEASE give us better answers to dredge and tron!!!
But within the last 3-4 months, Midrange has all but been punted from the format. Mardu seems to be dead on a competitive level, Jund and GB/x decks have been consistently underperforming as well.
And yet I dont see too much talk of this, aside from "Oh yeah just dont play Midrange in modern". The archetype was a reasonable choice 3 months ago but has not kept up with the format, and I wonder if WOTC is going to be fine with this or try to give it a leg up somehow.
That said, I would consider moving it to the side, or using Alpine Moon in the side instead, and bringing in Rabbles. I think potentially the rabble/hazoret package is good enough to run all the time, but I wanna test out Nahiri first before I make that call.
So... in general, how are people feeling about this deck lately? I'm really considering putting it down.
As for fair vs unfair I think it's very subjective. I wonder how fair vs unfair coincides with linear/nonlinear.
I have a lot of meh-be cards for the SB, like Molten Rain, Stony Silence, etc. I think I want to try removing my final copy of Wear//Tear for something like these, but I don't know yet.
Mainboard, I've been fooling around with the slot that used to be Manamorphose. There are a few options here. I like Terminate or Dreadbore but I'm still unsure as to which is currently better, though at least towards my control-heavy meta I'm leaning towards the Bore. Liliana the Last Hope is the only other truly obvious flex spot, and I haven't really decided what I could jam in here that's not Lili. I definitely haven't been feeling her recently, but that might be confirmation/negativity bias. To be honest, I haven't really SEEN or played with her in most of my games so who's to say if she's really good or not.
Goblin Rabblemaster mainboard is the one thing that I've been seeing people do a lot. Often in place of Blood Moon. I'm not sure how I feel about this, but given that Moon isn't really the "Gotcha" card it used to be, maybe I'll try moving it to the sideboard and putting the Rabblemasters back in. I do have to admit that I've never been pleased with them in the mainboard, however.
After another unsatisfactory tournament finish tonight, I'm trying to figure out what I can do to be better. I've been playing a pretty wide field, probably the most common thing I run into is some variation on control (usually U/W but also Grixis and U/B.) but aside from that I've played... everything.
I just feel really lackluster and like I'm not playing well enough/adjusting my deck and sideboard well enough. Here's the deck.

I was doing pretty well with a very similar list about a month and a half ago, but recently I just can't seem to put up results.
Amonkhet is making a REALLY good argument for me to build a Grixis cycling deck! (Probably with [[Sedris, the Traitor King]] at the helm unless we get a super super cool Grixis legend.)
Monuments are kinda interesting.
If this is all the set has to offer though, I'm severely disappointed. Nothing interesting today, at least not from the Mothership.
Either they're holding onto something big for the middle of the week, or they didn't do a good job picking spoilers that'll actually be interesting.
