MTG Salvation

@GerantDePhares

glad to see you back here friend. I hope you're doing fine. Sorry for not noticing the new post sooner.

btw, if you have not noticed. This thread has a duplicate thread on MTG Nexus. All updates here, I also post there. Have posted there that you have come back here, so development for the deck can continue.

from this post on, I will check this thread at least once a week, so to be able to see if people are chatting here.

A belated Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year to all users of this deck.

banner restored. It disappeared again in postimages.

there's not much activity now, but most info on the primer should probably be still usable for people who would wander into this thread.

yeah, this deck is still alive.

if ever you play in a tournament or fnm, even if it's just a small one, I would like to hear more from you YJBh33ls. Interested to see how your build perform against the current decks in modern.

@YJBh33ls

liking your Stoneforge list. Looks solid.

one question though. Why the mainboard Gideon of the Trials, you've been facing plenty of aggro?

about your classic decklist. Ambitious Farmhand looks like she is a good fit there. Has Ambitious Farmhand been useful to you, and in what ways? Asking because I prefer using feedback from players like you who have actually used the card, when adding new cards to the primer.

and lastly, on the Wisp vs Ephemerate. I do agree that Wisp is less of a dead draw, and it can target non-creature like batterskull to create a new germ. Ephemerate can be a dead draw, but the advantage is it cost only one W for instant speed blink effect that can be used on opponent's turn as a combat trick. I think it's just a matter of preference on these two cards, as they are both strong in the right situations.

nice to see development still ongoing for this deck. I enjoyed reading all the posts in this page.

looks like there is a return of Flickerwisp in the main, and along with ephemerate.. there seems to be more of a blink strategy in current builds.

also Kaldra proving to be a strong card overall.

congrats to everyone doing well with their builds.

I'll be watching out for lists that do well, and will update the primer when we have enough new info.

flanking, this is so flavorful for knights riding horses.

hmm, winning against 2 out of 3 opponents in fnm is not bad. I see some new cards in the main, Giant Killer, Hex Parasite, Martyr, and Alseid. Most curious about the maindeck parasite and matyr, have these cards been helpful?

Primer update:

Plichow fnm report added to primer. Thanks for your contribution.

Table of contents -> tournament reports.

nice to see you back Gerant.

I will update the primer once your testings on new cards are done.

the new 3/2 lifelink does look like it has plenty of potential.

primer update:

Lurrus is now banned in modern. Removed it from Card Choices Choices section. Also removed Plichow's Lurrus emeria from Decklist section.

@coffeeortea

thanks for letting me know about those. Nice to see the deck getting improved and being able to do 5-0.

added The Rake and Dani's list to the Top 8's and 5-0's section of the primer.

primer update:

Plichow's report added to tournament reports section of the primer.

Table of Contents - > Tournament Reports.

thanks for your contribution Plichow. Glad to see people still play this deck.

I'm not here everyday, but I do check back every once in awhile to see if there's new content for the primer.

hmm, and some new Kamigawa cards do look like they can be tested for our deck.

hi, and welcome to the thread. Always nice to see a new person here.

would be helpful if you post your actual deck here, so people could more easily give suggestions.

anyway, I checked the link, and that article has a guide for fighting Splinter Twin.. that article is quite outdated. If you have time, please take a look at the primer at the first page of this thread. It's updated with info from Stephan and Starstorm - they are the posters in this thread who actively played this deck in tournaments last year. Their deck lists are included in the primer.

gone for more than two weeks because my net provider died..

back now.
