When do you guys think is the best time to pick up Collected Company? Will it get cheaper as soon as the set is released? When/Will it go up because it seems quite strong and I guess it will be played in Standard?
It isn't Goyf so good luck getting many responses.that card is really hard to evaluate. It seems like it should drop after release like most cards do, but with all the hype it is getting I could see it shooting up. I plan to order mine on release day.
ok, the economics stuff is getting a bit toxic. can we just take a big step back and just for a moment bask in the glory of Karn Liberatedcoming back? I would hate to sit across from this beast in draft, especially if the Tron lands get printed
Except that isn't quite true either. I started playing in high school with a very small budget and I saw that Standard was just a money sink and since I don't get to play as often, I started with Modern so mt deck would be playable for a good long while. I have played Standard exactly twice, drafted mm1 once. Most of the new players around me have rotated collections so when I get them to play, they start with low level Modern on a shoestring budget. Modern is not just for established/rich players, it is often a cheaper option for news and there should always be options that reflect this.
Okay this bugs me a bit. Basic lands in any color make one mana, with no additional effects. No matter how good it is in Standard, would they rrally make a basic that was worse than any other land? And say they give it synergistic cards, wouldn't any incentives good enough to use them is Standard make them broken in Tron? That happens to be a deck I love, so bring it on, but I would hate to see the hammer fall on another card I want to play with.
Short answer, EW does not get shocks.
long answer, it does not get ABU duals either, only basics. It is fine for casual, but to compete, the extra versatility is valuable.
Welcome! I am a fan of brews and haven't stopped brewing.
To answer your question the best I can without going into a bunch of detail, you want to fill your sb with cards that are the bad matchups for which at this current time are: Splinter Twin Decks, Life Gain strats such as Soul Sisters, Combo decks such as Storm and Jeskai Ascendancy, and the mirror. You also have to be out on the lookout for Leyline of Sanctity as is shuts down half of your deck.
Thank you for the welcome
So for what you said about bad match ups...
I am planning on running 4 Atarka's Command in my mainboard. Should I put some additional Skullcracks in the sideboard, or should the commands be enough?
Rending Volley seems like a great sideboard card against Twin. Would 3 or 4 of them be better do you think?
I have no idea what to do against combo honestly :\ Any pointers?
Here is the thing.. I am sure you need the full set of skullcrack over command. I think command is probably better maindeck, but without the full set of skullcracks, kor firewalker can run away with the game. it is important to remember Atarka's Command does not deal with firewalker. Rending volley feels like 2 of...maybe 3. Combo you have to race. This all comes down to knowing when to mulligan. I think deflecting palm plus revelry is better against tron and affinity then smash revelry.
Side in stuff for Twin, I know there are better solutions for other metastatic but I side heavily for Twin and Affinity, rely on it being a great deck for most matches and just kinda cross my fingers against the odd combo deck. Dismember deals with a lot of what I see week to week
As a Burn player, might I suggest Merfolk? That, Twin and Affinity are the ones I dislike. Also, it really is a price thing. When MM2 drops and Karn is affordable, you have my word I will be playing Tron and brews for at least 6 months. I think it really will drop off this summer. Until then, as a guy who does not want Burn hit with a ban, faster aggro, and Twin hurt. Best of luck!
I agree. WOTC needs to to give us something so burn players can Chill out.
Then we can enjoy the Warmth of a fun Modern format.
And this boys and girls is the difference between weakening a deck that might be a bit much and literally killing an entire color because you can't be bothered to adjust to Burn.That might be the worst suggestion on this site. We can't have that kind of hate without answers. Give us one of those for each color and bow to green is the only way it is fair
ok, this might not end up being the worst set since I started, but it is the first that we have all the mythics and they all bore me. and no full art lands on top of that just means I have cash for MM2. seriously, 1/2 commands will be decent and the rest doesn't mean jack to me.
Well the one UR with Nahiri seemed to indicate that they travel separately and only come together for a truly epic plane. No evidence for the second bit but Nahiri had fought Kozilek and never seen the other two
As a Burn player, it is not hard to beat. That said I will never fear any Grixis deck, ever, period. I love to see 3 color. An early Wurmcoil in Troy is basically game and I personally fear Izzet Twin or Affinity,you would not believe how much of my SB goes to those MUs. It can be done
I think that BGx would limit its own meta share just because if half the base is using a deck, it gets serious hate and is no longer the best, see Burn. I personally would love to see BBE and DRS levels of Jund plus current Junk levels. Back when Jund was huge last time, I built a few hyper-Jund hate decks, all cheap to make, I used a different one each week to keep from being hated out and I KILLED every week for a couple months. DRS banning was the saddest day for me since I got into Modern, goodbye easy packs. Obviously the chance for an unhealthy dominance is there, but the decks are both fair, easy enough to hate out, it wouldn't last long once people realized playing Goyf was a good way to start the handing of their asses to them
didn't forget him, I meant outside of this block, that was the reasoning for it, if this block is the first time it would be a cool precedent, a new way to show story
The way it is worded, it almost sounds like we might get an Ugin Liberated card, new version for a new timeline. idk how the name/number thing works but there looks to be room in colorless. or maybe 5 color. has there ever been 2 of the same walker in a block? possible or just wishful thinking? because I love the first one
