I'm splashing white for 3 PTE in that slot, how have other people found the W splash? Manabase is effectively unchanged (4x Hallowed Fountain 4x Wanderwine Hub) plus stony silence can come out of the board.
"Hello, it looks like you play Merfolk lords. Heck, I think my Lord of Atlantis accidentally gave all your Merfolk Islandwalk. Why don't I take this guy over there and kill your Master of Waves for you?"
I don't believe Lord of Atlantis works like that FYI. He's errata'd to be identical to Pearl trident.
Here is the UW list I've been using. I like the straightforward tempo aggro version of this deck, Remand and Spreading Seas main board, along with Silvergill which also cantrips. Spreading Seas main board seems to be really good, shuts down tron and makes everything unbreakable.
Phantasmal Image is also great, 3 may be a better number, going to 4 is not worth the chance of holding two.
I haven't been playing modern too long but affinity feels like a favorable matchup with this deck. Especially with 3 recalls post-board. Im still trying to figure out the sideboard, I want to take this to GP Richmond in March.
I might swap a spellskite for a Kira, Great Glass-Spinner mainboard (putting the spellskite into the sideboard). I like the tricks you can do with Aethervial flashing skite in, though.
It seems like you can do the sam tricks with Kira though. and she gets some damage through.
I was trying Tricksters but theyre SUPER underwhelming if youre opponent isnt playing 8+ fetches. I would also try out Phantasmal Image over the commander. Commander is really slow compared to 2-4 more 2CMC lords
Ive been playing a more beatdown version of this deck(experiment one, lotleth troll, mangler), but I think im going to put in the Whip/Merchant/Desecration package into my deck. I still have to test out the new version, but I think you guys are overlooking lotleth troll. He was an all-star for me, and the synergy he has with whip is pretty sick. Almost impossible to deal with, plus you can pitch something to him and whip it back the same turn. nasty
I guess I'm not convinced the land drop isn't relevant. Getting Gaze of Granite bigger faster and Aetherling earlier seems cool. 5 mana for three cards is good value. My deck looks similar to the SCG baltimore list, with 4x farseek with 25 land, so if you leave 1 mana up you can drop that second land and leave up negate mana
Has anyone tried running Urban Exploration? I run a more control oriented version of the deck, seems to be the only deck which can use it most effectively. So much cards
Anybody mentioned Convoke? MaRo has tagged it as one of his favorites, was only done in selesnaya in Ravnica(I think), and I think with the confirmed God theme it makes the most thematic sense, creatures tapping to bigger spells/creatures, like worshipping them
Mindsculptor is the most powerful single card in the current format, while Jace 1 was nicely balanced. There aren't many good reasons to reprint Jace 2, since after cascade rotates out of standard it likely becomes even better than it already was. It isn't a good idea to keep it legal for even longer than it already is.
WWK rotates with M11, and since it is so much more powerful Jace 1.0 would never see play while 2.0 is in standard.
right when i registered the first time it says server busy plz go back and try again.
The second time it says code invalid now.
WTFz!
i still got no email, called customer support.
I get the same, tell me if you get anywhere with them
Jace's were readily available, coming in like 2 out of every 3 boxes. I work at Wal Mart and when WW came out I bought 3 fatpacks, and each one I pulled a Jace the Mindsculptor. When RoE came out, I did the same thing, and pulled 3 Gideons. Either I'm incredibly lucky, or they are a lot more readily available then people thought, perhaps thats why most decks I've seen run 3-4 in there blue decks.
I'm by no means a man loaded with money, I work at Wal Mart as a sales associate and support a wife and 3 children off of that income. In the long run, I ended up with 4 Jace the Mindsculptor, and 5 Gideons. I do not have any of them anymore. But these "chase" mythics were by no means hard to get my hands on. I'm only on my 3rd BSA, but those two planeswalkers were so much easier to get.
1 in 80 chance for Jace, less for Gideon. So Jace should be in 1 in every 3 boxes, not 2. If I buy one worldwake pack and pull Jace, does that mean everyone is guaranteed to pull him in every pack?

Yes Yes Yes. The cantrip takes it over the top. This deck wants to win in turns 3-6 so timewalking them and getting a card is huge.

Could you tell me the name of that youtube video?
