So what is everyone's opinion of Newagin and is it worth buying? I know Karn is something to keep an eye on. Anything else to watch for those who only buy play set's for modern decks and brewing?
Honestly I am fine playing against Tron, I have beaten it quite a few times with various LD decks I play. The one deck I do not like playing against is Tefari decks.
Definitely wish they would reprint Terravore, and Jokulhaups I can see both doing really great things. I have to agree with The Fluff, Ponza could use the strength of Terravore.
I do know on MTGO the London Mulligan made sure Griselbrand was able to go off on turn 1 each time I played against it after the opponent mulled to 4 and 5 respectively. I think the London mulligan has its pros and cons but as has been said it helps combo more then fair decks.
It's so nice to see Bolas get his just deserts. I have never really been a fan of him, back in Legends as a card and even more so as his character and deeds have been brought to us. I wonder what the new evil will be though. That is the big question now that Bolas is trapped in the Prison realm.
I think this will work great in a low CMC superfriends type build with board wipe and maybe land destruction effects. Would be great maybe in a Sarkhan tribal build for kitchen table fun.
I have been play-testing with my version and have found the Sphinx to be a workhorse when it sticks. I have also realized that a unchecked Curious Homunculus can really swing the deck in our favor. Here is my current list below.
True indeed, the Sphinx is pretty nice. What exactly are you looking for in a Red/ Blue Land denial manipulation deck? I know for mine I am testing 8-11 creatures/ threats 8 dedicated land destruction 8 card draw effects and currently looking at Wildfire as a semiboard wipe land destruction spell as well as 6-8 bounce effects.
Blue cards
Capsize, Rescind
Or at least something along those lines and casting costs.
Or give us back good old Armageddon

UR Land Destruction Sphinx
I have been contemplating running convincing mirage and see if that may help in the land disruption market
