And now for a special PSA on Blood Moon and why it's totally a thing... that'll probably be ruined by Wizards' love of punting their own coverage articles.trolling judges with cardboard is fun!
Would like some help on my SB if possible for an upcoming modern event. We don't do modern that much in my area, maybe once a month or so.
I love UWR. Played it a ton in standard until burning earth came up everywhere where I switched to UW and play it in modern. Last few modern events I have played birthing pod but decided I would play the deck I like to actually play more this time.
As far as my Main board, it's pretty much a replica of shahar shenhar's worlds list except I play 4 cryptics MB. I took out a PTE for it. Just really liked the balance he had with everything.
However, SB is where I am having trouble. I am finding I wish I had 30 SB slots. Here I will list my current SB first and maybe you guys can help me.
I chose wrath over supreme verdict because of thrun
A good representation of my meta would be something like:
3-4 RG tron
2 UW tron
1 other UWR control
1 birthing pod
2 RG or Naya zoo
1 affinity
3-4 playing BGx
1 birthing pod
2 scapeshift
1 GW hatebears
3 bant aggro with wish sideboard
That's pretty much spot on to the current meta, now that I think about it.
Anyway, any and all help is appreciated! Thanks for your time.
I think that pod will still be somewhere in top 8. It might not be as rampant, but I still think it will. It's still really good if you take away the persist/infinite combo and can get around control easily if it goes first and especially has the turn 2 pod.
I agree with magix. Living end has so much land destruction. It kind of reminds me of the RTR block graveyard hate vs junk rites. They would just play their turn 3 or 4 acidic slime and then blink it and just win through regular midrange/land destruction.
I was actually wondering this as well. I thought they did a great job with sorin vs tibalt and was wondering if they kept up with this (before buying it)
So you really like planar cleansing? What else do you do vs. Jund? I never really got a chance to play vs midrange jund on Sunday.
Also how do you feel about the UWR matchup? I ask because I always feel like I will lose that matchup. It could just be me though.
Edit: also wanted to ask, how good is quicken being for you? I ask because you really only have like 4 or 5 spells you can use it on. And I don't know if I want to use it just to draw off the top and hope for a verdict
I probably cheer for melira pod because I like the deck more. But Reid is a nice guy I've talked to him a few times. Probably root for the duke
what do you mean?

Definately affinity
