The amount of flavor that oozes from Stormkirk Noble makes me smile. Everytime I look at it I laugh. The art evokes the feeling of "not a single **** was given" and "like a boss!" all rolled into one.
I've been trying all week to brainstorm a Spirit-centric R/ ramp deck that revolves around Elder Pine of Jukai, Glitterfang, and Loam Dweller but a lot of the Kamigawa spirits are pretty underwhelming...
This was probably my favorite Standard deck of all time. Mystic getting banned is a little rough but oh well. You could use the slots that Mystic and the equipment took for more removal and creatures. In my personal experience Flamekin Harbinger is a must as a 1-of in this deck. Balefire Liege also works nicely in this deck.
So back before the neutering of Extended I was experimenting with the idea of a combo-ish deck involving Treasure Hunt and Selective Memory with Sesismic Assault and/or Lightning Storm as the win condition. The deck played various counters to stall until it was able to combo off. If all went to plan and interrupted it could go off turn 4 or 5 depending on acceleration. There was also an idea to splash green for recursion like Eternal Witness and Life from the Loam.
Now I haven't been able to test this yet but I'm just wondering if there's any way this deck would be able to be at least tier 2/1.5.
The Bitterblossom thing seems weird to be. Is Faeries really that good in this format? On an unrelated note now that Modern is a legitimate format can it get moved onto the main forum index?
This is great news. Apparently Wizards REALLY hates Caw-Blade though. Would not be surprised to see Stoneforge Mystic and Jace the Mind Sculptor get banned in Extended as well.
I have a Reveillark and a Kemba's, Kha Regent in play. My opponent casts Lavalanche where X=4. All my creatures are destroyed. I say Reveillark's ability triggers so I can get back Kemba. He says it doesn't because since they all go to the graveyard at the same time there's no legal target for the ability.
"Search your library for X cards. Put them on top and shuffle your library"?
Is this playable in Modern? A decent replacement for Stoneforge Mystic?
