Perilous Myr is a joke. Its kinda 3/3 artifact defender for 2. Very narrow and not so powerful.
I didnt play Arcum's Astrolabe but I like it. There was something missing playing Mind Stone on t2 and passing with mana but nothing to play with it. With Relic of Progenitus losing its value we can replace some with AA. Also we can add more utility lands and not worry about missing red mana. Thining a deck is also good. And pumping Skred
Who do you think is better Dregscape Sliver or Unsettled Mariner?
How is Gemstone Mine performing? Canopy lands? Ziggurat?
Also could you accumulate more data before posting please. With 2-3 matches per post it will take a full page before we get to reliable statistics
So the answer is "there is no way to do it"?
My question is about a trigger that has no choices, has no visual effects on resolve or on going into stack etc if this is not obvious
How do I determine if a trigger is missed by my opponent without reminding him?
Lets say he has a creature that has "When this attacks alone, it gets indestructible until end of turn"
Creature attacks alone and I want to block or not depending on whether it has indestructible or not
Chalice build is meta dependant, with Phoenix gone from top positions it is weaker for sure
Chalice is good against Death Shadow, Infect. Semi good vs Whirza, Affinity, Storm, Ad Nauseam. I cant say its even semi good vs Burn, its playable, but Burn is fast and supposedly already played its threats before you want to counter them with Chalice. Now it even hedges its Bolts with another 3 cmc spell.
In my opinion Chalice is more of a sideboard card now. In many matchups it doesnt do much and without much interaction we just need to be fast, meaning more 1 drops which are not going well with Chalice.
Interesting list
I think its better with 21 lands to make t2 Chalice more reliable
Necrotic is kinda weak at 20 lands with no mana slivers
First Dregscale should be good, 4th - weak
Horizon lands I think are not that great, we have a lot of mana sinks
I think deck's concept is weak right now. All these decks that WANT to have some cards in the graveyard.. Usual card advantage game doesnt apply to them, so 8Rack is not functional against them.
How is Skred going nowadays? With 4x Relics main it can be good at hosing these graveyard strategies going rampant. Last time Skred made a splash in a similar situation - it wasnt played much and Dredge was played much, so Skred came out winning those unprepared people and grave decks.
For those of you who like numbers, I’ve run 100.000 simulations of two different decks, just to test keepable hands : my deck with 4 Virulents and 16 lands, and another with 2 Automaton and 2 Ziggurats instead. Surprisingly, the deck with 16 lands and more Weenies was more keepable than the one with 18 lands, and by a wide margin... 78% vs 63%, if I recall correctly.
I bet a build with 18 lands has more win percentage than 16 lands. And your algorithm for keepable hands is most probably flawed) Playing one 1-drop per turn is a road to defeat.
No one plays 16 lands in Modern for a reason
And this deck is no exception, yes it wants to play 1 drops, but its power comes from 2 drops, which is a problem at 16 lands (2 cmc mana dork is not a solution)
My initial interpretations of Hexdrinker and Barkhide Troll were incorrect. We should definitely test them out. We have to either cut lands or Steel Leaf Champion or a mixture of both for them though.
Also Veil of Summer is an auto include as a 2-3 of in the sideboard- maybe 4 of. The only reason not to is your specific meta doesn't have blue or black.
I dont see Veil of Summer as great card in theory. Whats its ceiling? You 2-for-1 them, saving one of your janky creatures. Im not sure such card advantage is even good vs decks that want to grind, grinding is their game, they will outplay you if you give them time. Not to mention you have hexproof, pumps, undying and regeneration, so another hexproof can be superfluous. Its floor being a blank card you cant use, because blue and black decks dont pack much removal and counterspells these days. Overall I think thats a weak sideboard card. If I want to grind Id be happier with Kitchen Finks, aside from 2-1 it can deal damage and kill planeswalkers, more synergic with our pumps and gains life. Also not only applicable vs blue and black.
I think MTG Nexus deserves a chance. Developers have put money on the table after they’ve been told MTGSalvation was to close, before a rival company took over and decided to maintain the site. Please have a look at MTGNexus. It’s awesome, with excellent tools on the front page, truly beautiful primers, and a superb look everywhere.
I would prefer the community to move there, but I can’t force anyone...
I checked that site and it looks like it has 100 times less visits. You are the only poster in that thread there, Im not going to move.
Down on: Damping Sphere
Storm has not seen much play in while, and for the time being Tron isnt very prevalent due to all the turn 2/3 decks running rampant.
Shutting off Altar of dementia, Griselbrand, inkmoth nexus, Pendelhaven, giver of runes, Celestial Colonnade, walkers doesnt sound great to me. Hogaak can win without altar, Griselbrand can still fly for 7 lifelink
inkmoth nexus, Pendelhaven from infect? Nexus is only one third of their threats (or less if you count Hierarch), Pendelhaven has small effect
disabling one walker after he used his ability doesnt look gread. If you cast Needle in advance its hard to name a proper walker since they usually dont run sets of four. Celestial Colonnade is very expensive, if you didnt win before or coudlnt counter it with pumps seems like you lost anyway.
though it looks ok vs Affinity, they have a lot of good targets so Needle is not likely to be wasted
Damping Sphere. Tron, Phoenix are still top decks, Storm, Amulet Titan are still good. I dont see a reason to remove great sideboard card for our tough matchups.
Nissa, Voice of Zendikar. I like Finks, they are great for aggro and grinding.
What do you guys think about the new one drop hexdrinker that was added lately?
Do you think its good enough in our deck?
I think Pelt Collector is better as a pretty reliable 3/3. Hexdrinker can be better than Dryad, it depends on your meta and number of mana sinks in your list (less mana sinks > Hexdrinker more valuable).
how is this possible
sites like this should be profitable
if they lose money on it, they should sell it
if they cant part with engine or something else, copy forum database to a new site with free engine, make some banners and be profitable

New dragon Opportunistic Dragon can be nice for Dragon Skred, I never liked Thunderbreak Regent and Verix Bladewing was kinda slow

still hard to cast, but effect is powerful to make room for a pair in sideboards
