MTG Salvation

@Rasselas, Got the list from a guy that top 8 an open sometime recently, don’t rememeber the name. thought it looked awesome, and I had most of the cards already. Switched howling mine for search for azcanta. Sideboard is all my own concoction, with the help of these forums and my own experience.

Sorin, lord of innistrad... sorin, solemn visitor... hero of blade hold... Brimaaz, King of Oreskos

There was an orzhov tokens deck that top 8 the last scg modern classic in Syracuse. Definelty worth checking out

While the scry mode of azcanta is very nice, I usually like it flipping in to an extra land. It helps power into the lands needed to chain turns, or be able to multi spell and try and gain advantages, or dig for the clutch answer. Flipping it is sometimes a chore, we don’t load up the graveyard a ton, and temporal and PTW get exiled on cast, along with snap targets. And it is a “May” flip, so it can stay in search mode
I haven’t looked back since taking the howling mines out. Dictate+Jace+Azcanta to go with remands and cryptic seems to usually have me where I need to be without gassing my opponent up.

Welcome @The Rematcher. I’m still figuring out the posting deck lists myself. Good luck. I really enjoy playing taking turns, I’m on a mono blue version. I like a good time travel story.

Went 2-0-1 again today at the Sunday afternoon modern event. 6 person, 3 rounds, we intentional draw to split prize money. Round 1 was 2-0 vs tooth and nail devotion deck. Round 2 was 2-1 to UW control. We played round 3 for fun, he was on dredge. I won G1. G2 I miracled a deviation tide to bounce a bunch of his stuff, but had no plans for the conflagrate in the yard. Was probably dead any ways. G3 I got to use commandeer against a conflagrate for 3 for lethal, but nothing for the 2nd one same turn.

Added 2 pithing needle for those pesky spirits, to name aether vial and mausoleum wanderer. 2 Grafdiggers cage for dredge, Phoenix match up. Is grafdigger good against storm? Shut off past in flames and all the flashback?

Played in a saturday event at the LGS. 8 people showed. I experimented with removing a snap and the 4th remand for 2 boomerang main.
Round 1 2-0 vs RUG scapeshift

Round 2 0-2 vs Bant spirits. 3 aether vials turns 1 and 2 led to disaster. Round 2 i got a few turns going, but couldnt get any extra draw to build anything.

2 dredge decks, 2 burn decks, 2 spirits, scapeshift and my mono U turns made up the line up

Boomerangs were ok, cyclonic rift may be better for the early/late game potential. 2nd snap out feels wrong, but didnt seem to hurt. Just trying to shore up the early game weakness. Spirits was rough. Brought in 2 devastation tide, and a ratchet bomb from the side. Didnt see any of them. Maybe another ratchet bomb would help?

Round 1 I played my friend and his mono green devotion superfriends home brew deck. Won 2-0.

Round 2 was eldrazi stompy. Won 2-1.

Round 3 we decided to split, we were the only 2 2-0. Not sure what he was playing, he left quick after collecting his winnings. There was a Temur scapeshift, monoblack devotion, and Abzan decks at the event

My mono U build went 2-0-1 at the LGS Sunday modern event. Only 8 players, but I had fun, my opponents, not so much. 3 rounds, only me and 1 other guy were 2-0, so we drew and split. I took out 1 spreading seas, 1 Spellskite, and 2 negate from the sb for 2 boomerang, and 2 devastation tide. Still don’t ever sideboard much

@timewalkin haven’t played the deck much competitively yet, so It’s coming together. Spellskites are theoretically for infect and burn matchups. My problem seems to be I never want to sideboard anything out. Or not a problem, the deck usually runs well when playing against my friends.

Feels like such an accomplishment!

Thanks

No one is running faithless looting? I’m currently on 2x faithless, 2x serum, 2x opt, 3x thoughtscour. The diversity seems to do well for me. Feel like bobble doesn’t do enough, even if it is free. Never played with it though

Hi all. I’m on a mono U build. I don’t like letting my opponent get the first extra draw from howling mine, so I replaced them with Search for Azcanta. Feels much better. Love the deck, and all my friends hate playing against it. Haven’t tested it much competitive though. Is there a way to post a decklist from saved decks in my profile? Or do I have to type it all out?

Could lich’s Mastery work here?

Hi guys. Finally decided to start my serious journey in to modern. I went with Eldrazi tron. Thanks to all in this thread, especially Tituba. Your insight helped me build my deck. Took forever to get the account woth twitch straightened out but ive made it.
My deck is very similar to Tituba's chaliceless list. Ive got the deck built in the forums, but havent figured out how to share.
First fnm went 3-2. Beat burn, some green land destruction deck, and eldrazi and taxes. Lost to allies and humans. Lots of fun, and i look forward to where this deck and I will go.

I like the boxes, spindown, and players guide. I usually use the players guide to make decks. Its easier to look through those then 1000s of cards. Sometimes i get lucky, and get really good pulls. Sometimes crap. I will buy 1 or 2 per set, just to have. I spend a lot of money on magic tho.

Are the boxes themselves worth anything? I have been getting them since world wake. I missed Mirr. Besieged, and NPH.
