I'll have a modern tourrnament in 2 weeks and I will try a couple of grapples and corpse churns instead of the looting,and I will come back with the results.
Finished 3-2 on this tournament. I put 4 Commune with the gods instead of the lootings and put out some creatures to put in Chancellor of the dross.
Started with 0-2 against a Jund and some kind of Saheeli combo. I was drawing very bad, 4 commune with the gods ended in just 1 creature in the graveyard. After that I destroyed a grixis control deck,a burn and elves.
Here are my thoughts:
- A huge mistake was to put out 3 bomat couriers and 1 Chromanticore because Traverse was parcticly useless. I will definitely put them back and cut something out.
- The biggest problem of the banning of looting is not the card draw and filling the graveyard but mainly the discard. I couldn't win without Lotleth Troll in play. I will definitely put the 4th copy in the deck.
- For the same reason Cathartic reunion is a lot better card than Commune with the gods
- I'll probably play 3 reunions and 3 Grapple with the past, for a total of 10 gy fillers, plus the grapple is an instant (othervise grisly salvage is the only instant)
- I think 4 Traverses are too much, I'll cut 1 out
