    What about quicksilver fountain? It hasn't been mentioned in a while and can be tutored with Whir. If we sac it before all lands become islands, then they are at least slowed down for a bit

    If your prison build includes bridge, then swinging with 5/5 beaters is kind of a nonbo

    I definitely need to update my list. Maybe some discard and or counters in board, but was surprised to have defeated two tron lists last night. Went 2-0 against each. Won 2 games due to ghost quarter and whirring out Crucible of worlds. Then oddly enough I won my other two games by going infinite with time sieve. One game I just had the natural 3 cards for the combo in starting hand with three lands. The deck is definitely a nightmare to play against but man does pithing needle do work. They cast a walker or some other card like expedition, then in response I Whir out a needle. Makes me want to add a second into the board. Have one main deck. Also makes me want to go to full 4 whir main instead of three. With all the tron talk, wanted to put in my two cents. Both tron lists were colorless

    Unsure on tourney legal but got my copy and totally playing him in mine. I think he will be a sweet commander or card in the deck. I hope he is tourney legal but not sure.

    I know it's mainly a judgment call, but just picked up a Crucible of worlds. Mainly for Tezz in legacy but would like to run it in modern. But if I'm going on the land destruction route as an option, is ghost quarter better or is tectonic edge? Ghost quarter gets them a basic but if the deck is all basics or mainly basics, then tectonic edge isn't great. I have 1-3 slots. Is a 2-1 split or a 1-1 split enough to run it?

    Thanks guys. One more question I haven't seen mentioned. First I love the Whir version of this deck along with prism. So much fun and good toolbox version. I personally run the four prisms plus two glimmervoids and two spires and two opals. That's 10 ways to produce any color. Has anyone built a version similar? I run Abrupt decays in board and they have been great but wondering if I have enough 5 color sources to try running sideboard cards of other colors like red or white. Thoughts?

    Played Whir last night. Nothing really to report and nothing special in the deck that hasn't been discussed. Lost to amulet bloom and an aggro Goblin list with Goblin grenades rabble master etc.
    Do we have ways of beating either other than discard?

    Hey guys. Just got into this deck and looking to go landkill route. Haven't had time to dig through the pages yet, plan to, but is there a current land kill deck that is 'stock' or something most agree on to give me a good starting point?

    Thanks

    I know this isn't a speculative form, but I've heard many rumors of maybe Jace getting unbanned and reprinted in mm3. Seems doubtful to the extreme, but is this a card we woukd want to play? Just curious, cuz I know I would play two in the 75.
    Dont want to spark an argument to too much talk about it but curious since the legacy version of this deck runs jace

    While I agree the artifact becomes a lightning rod, if they can't destroy it on their turn, then we get a second. Then third etc. Unless they have a pulse or echoing truth, we should be in good condition.
    And like it was stated earlier, if we place it on a thopter, we could win by our next upkeep.

    But I'm a player who loves alt wins. What do I know haha

    Sounds like a good night. Not sure how u got two chilies in play on zero, but Remember though that the first one counters the second. Might come up at a large tourney.

    I only play tezzeret in legacy and this list makes me happy as a ported modern version
    I hope ur meta gets hurt by chalice on one cuz it didn't effect mine. But I loved the turn on chalice with guides. And I own Gemstone Cavern and it's such a cute card. Oddly enough I had good luck with it.
    Would love to know how chalice and caverns is working for u? Same with the land count plus guides. I think u will find u want more cranes. I started at two and quickly jumped to 4 as it is a modern ish version of strix. Flyer for 2cmc that draws a card

    Thanks radouf. Mana base is new with the fairs but I'm open to any suggestions. Haven't noticed a ton of color issues but some is often.

    Was running a 3/2 split but feel dumb now cuz we have the crane. I have a third foundry but can get a hold of a 4/3 split.

    Completely forgot about spellbomb. Don't get much modern in lately and spaced that Relic takes out my yard as well.

    Post was a Lifegain mainly card cuz my lgs is heavy on burn and zoo, which is also why the field wipes R there. The other half plays chord style decks where we can't afford them to keep their guys

    And don't own discard spells. I know, weird. Figured collective brutality was a descent sub.

    Own one spellskite that usually hangs in the board.

    SIDEBOARD is usually similar to this:

    2x Torpor Orb
    1x Gemstone Cavern
    3x Chalice of the Void
    1x Welding Jar
    1x Grafdigger's Cage
    2x dismember
    1x Spellskite
    1x Damnation
    1x Pithing needle
    1x Flaying Tendrils
    1x liliana of the veil

    Any help is appreciated. The help is greatly going to help for this weekend.
