    Oh, I see. So the "Pyro" from the name is Young Pyromancer. Seriously, I thought it came from Pyroclasm. XD
    Hmm, looks like a strong red white deck indeed. Clamp makes good use of the tokens from the pyromancer.

    If you're going to be playing Affinity in the next year or so, especially soon, buy now. If you can wait for MM3 it's a possible include there. But that's a year away.

    If you are ever going to pick up Inkmoth Nexus now is the time, you can find copies for around $20 at the moment. Nexus sees a lot of play so there is demand for the card. The only thing holding Inkmoth back is it has reprint written all over it. If it does get reprinted it will likely fall to the $8-10 range. If it doesn't get reprinted in MM3 it could jump to $50 or more. My advise is pick them up now. I would rather loose a few dollars than for a card to jump up in price and become less attainable, Speaking to my budget, yours maybe higher than mine.


    My MTG budget is only 40-50 dollars a month. Cannot exceed that, which is why buying semi-expensive cards is not easy. Anyway, I'll try to save up for them. Thanks again for the replies. Smile

    Horizon Canopy is getting ridiculous, $90? When is the next chance at a reprint? Conspiracy? MM3?


    Just checked at SCG, and indeed it's 89.99$ OMG Can't believe it's at that price now. Well, to be fair it's a rather useful land.. my mono green stompy has one. But a card like this should not be 100 dollars. Maybe 20-30? A reprint badly needed to lower the price..

    And speaking of lands. What are people's thoughts on Inkmoth Nexus - would it further go up or down? It's one of the last few cards I need before my Affinity is complete. Already have Ravagers and Opals. Buy now or wait a few more months? Thanks. :>

    Recent revelations have shown that Eldrazi are getting in on the DFC action, backside of one card is apparently:

    >Hanweir, the Writhing Township
    >Legendary Creature - Eldrazi Ooze
    >Trample, Haste, When ~ attacks put two 3/2 colorless Eldrazi Horror tokens onto the battlefield tapped and attacking
    >7/4





    Looks good. Hmm, of course a monster as strong as that surely requires the player to do something not easily done to get whatever it is to flip. I hope the flip card would be a land, so it's at least easier to add into a deck.

    Firstly, congratulations. I have been trying to get one going at my lgs for months now, to no success.

    I think affinity is really strong in these tournaments. Some decks that are strong as well are pyro clamp, bug midrange, and even countertop. I personally would love to play storm, eggs, and even bloom Titan.


    Pyro Clamp? First time I've heard of it. Can you give a short description of what it does and what cards are in it? Thanks. :>

    in such an event, I would probably borrow 4 Eye of Ugin from a friend, then bring my Eldrazi deck and hope for the best. ^__^

    The decks that I don't like to encounter are Affinity and Summer Bloom. Specially Summer Bloom - that deck is super fast and I don't have much sideboard for it.

    Mishra's Factory. As a budget replacement for people like me, who can't afford Mutavault. Smile

    Good card is good, but I'm much more interested in the implications of even more (possibly cheap) Eldrazi coming into Modern.


    Maybe they could print the W eldrazi that they were not able to print in BFZ and Oath?
    I saw somewhere that there were more devoid white Eldrazi planned, but they were not able to print those for some reason...

    Emrakul has risen!



    A little bit weaker than her previous self, but more hard cast friendly. Will try her in my Eldrazi deck, though just for fun as the deck isn't built to reliably cast eldrazi beyond 6 mana. Going to get a land, sorcery, and creature in the grave for sure, so that's 10 left.. hmm..

    Main reason for getting the card would be for collection purposes. Kekeke

    Thanks for the detailed reply. Your build does seem like it can unload a lot of damage pretty quickly. Played during Zendikar standard, have experienced to be on the receiving end of a kicked bushwacker. Hmm, I'm probably going to build something close to your deck.. but I plan to splash green for Destructive Revelry and Atarka's command. Having something that can get rid of enchantment is important in my meta, because some people here still have worship - I guess that's one of the lingering effects of Eldrazi winter..

    That's good results for a budget list. Am getting encouraged to build this deck.

    Just one question. What do you do if you know an opponent has 2 or 3 pyroclasm effects in the sideboard? Still go all-in and hope they did not draw the pyroclasm?

    Surprised to see this kind of thread. Affinity is Tier 1 deck in Modern.. maybe there's a lot more anti artifact cards in Legacy? Frown

    For 5 things I think the set needs:

    <snip>

    5. Sanctuary Cat appearing in some form, and that form not being dead, undead, crazy, or corrupted. Sorry, I'm a cat person and a Sanctuary Cat fan in particular, and I feel like Innistrad needs something like that to be not corrupted or destroyed (if only thanks to luck) if only to contrast against all the corrupted, crazy, killed/unmade, or undead things, and I personally want it to be Sanctuary Cat.


    Agree on that. A return of the 1/2 cat would be nice. Am a cat person too. Currently own 3 adult cat and 4 kittens.

    Ok, now. For things I really hope to see..

    1. The return of "Undying"

    2. Even just one decent green undying card at GG or GGG cmc would be enough. Please WOTC. >__<

    3. Good utility lands for aggro

    4. Hoping to see more Wolfir.

    Just 4-1'd Modern League with a new list. Here's the 75 with card explanations and League report to follow.

    Sweet run with some sweet new cards. Not sure if it's better than the tried-and-true build, but I really like the Contagion Clasp. Has anyone else tried Nissa, Voice Of Zendikar at all? I'm going to take this for another spin this week for sure. I'll let y'all know how it goes.


    First of all, a congratulations on your good results.

    I have also been trying Nissa as one of, and she performs quite well enough. However, this is the first time I've seen someone use Contagion Clasp, that's quite an interesting idea there - already added one on my SCG order cart. Hmm, just have to think carefully what to take out of my list to put in one clasp.
