I have been on the 2nd Snapcaster for some time and I won’t ever take it out. It’s very important especially post board with the Spaitials and extra counter magic.
4-0 with the list I just posted. Lol, I’m running hot since two weeks. Beasted Affinity, RUG Scapeshift, Blue End, Vizier Company, all 2-0 except Scapeshift. I forgot the third Snare, so I used the second Explosives on its place, but it didn’t matter (same amount of cards to bring in vs Affinity, one less against Scapeshift, but I won both sb games). I’m liking a lot Seers out of the sideboard. Would gladly play the fourth, if I’ll able to find the space.
I have played this deck for years now and I have never felt this good about a version. The 4 Karns have been really great. I went 5-3-1 At the open sadly due to a bunch of burn but I’d beat some normally bad matchup’s due to Karn and his ability to close a game out quickly when your lands are being attacked.
I went 4-0 at my local Tuesday night modern event with the following list.
2-0 U Living End
2-1 G Tron
2-1 Jeskai
2-0 Humans
Ever since I went up to the 3rd Wurmcoil Engine my %has risen a good bit against the aggro strategies. I won’t go back to 2 copies. Karn was absurd in my list. I just wish I could play Darksteel Citadels but we can’t afford that. I would probably go -1 Repeal for +1 Dismember for my next league.
I went 5-0 with this list last night facing Burn,Jund,Esper Control,Nahiri & Affinity using.
