What do you think will be printed in Modern Horizons Guys?
Is there any chance of CounterspellHymn to Tourach or Brainstorm
or that some banned cards like Ponder will be unbanned?
I think of moving some of these on mainboard to endure me against the Aggro Players. What do you suggest?
I could move my 2 Brutalities to main because, i use them post board in almost every game i play so, why not give them a chance?
My current list is this right now but i change it very often.
Notice that you can use second brainstorm in the same round with Bolas. For Triumph i am not sure what to cut it depends again on your playstyle. For example If you use too many Electrolyze maybe you should cut one for a copy.
I have another question again. I am on a search for a card that uses grixis colors and gains life. I need to use it against Aggro decks like Burn for early turns.
I am thinking of puting 2 copies of Pharika's Cure. Does it worth removing 2 Bolts for it?
It kills all creautres that Burn uses and gains life. It also kills Drogskol Captain.
I also think of moving my Brutalities mainboard and add 2 Sun Droplet on side.
Some Jeskai Control players play 3x Teferi, Hero of Dominaria, so we can too, except Mind Sculptor is 4CMC.
As i understand, the static ability is the best. If you have Jace and Bolas down you have 2 brainstorms or you can see the top 2 cards of target player's library.
Exile Karn with its own ability or destroy it with its second. Sacrifice 2 Creatures or discard 2 cards if you control both Liliana and Bolas.
So if the Jeskai player has a Teferi, we ll have too.
Yes this strategy seems to work. Yesterday it was the first time i won against Bant Spirits 2-0.
As i understand this thread is to build the perfect Grixis Cruel Control deck that has good matchups against every other type of deck in Modern.
Has anyone played against Mill, Burn or Izzet Phoenix lately? What cards are good against Mill and Izzet Phoenix? My opinion for Mill, is that i consider both Mill and Burn the same Deck. Aggressive strategy that burns your Life or Library so with small differences i use the same sideboard (except thoughtseize).
But for Izzet Phoenix i don't know. My goal is to make a deck independed of meta, that is able to beat anything in the format. I haven't faced anyone who plays it yet, but i want to be prepared for this.
Hi guys! I currently run this list but need some help for mainboard and sideboard options.
For Mainboard:
-My first thought is to add more counters but don't know what to remove. I also don't know for 4x Logic Knot but as far by now it seems to work.
For Sideboard:
-I can't decide if Fulminator Mage or Crumble to Dust is better sideboard solution for land destruction for dealing with Tron decks mainly but not only.
-Maybe The Izzet Staticaster is too much and unnecessary for this deck and maybe it need to be replaced with something else. A counterspell like a Counterflux or Spell Snare maybe in the mainboard.
Is there any chance of Counterspell Hymn to Tourach or Brainstorm
or that some banned cards like Ponder will be unbanned?
As for the lifegain cards, I use these all to sideboard.

I have another question again. I am on a search for a card that uses grixis colors and gains life. I need to use it against Aggro decks like Burn for early turns.
Except Collective Brutality that i already use on my sideboard, is there something similar to Lightning Helix that uses Grixis colors?
I am thinking of puting 2 copies of Pharika's Cure. Does it worth removing 2 Bolts for it?
It kills all creautres that Burn uses and gains life. It also kills Drogskol Captain.
I also think of moving my Brutalities mainboard and add 2 Sun Droplet on side.

Am i wrong to something?

What cards are good against it? Graveyard hate maybe? Surgical Extraction? Extirpate? Nihil Spellbomb?or just keeping Electrolyze for the Phoenix until you start resolving Cruel Ultimatum?
