Counter target spell that is attempting to counter a spell or ability you control.
This spell can’t be countered.
“Uh-huh” is more fun to say to a “nu-huh”, sounds even better when said by the most interesting man in world.

FoodChainGoblins posted a message on HOU (and the other less official ones lately. ) spoilers discussion for ModernPosted in: ModernQuote from MemoryLapse »Quote from Mortal Coil »Jesus. Is there any reason not to run black now? 3 mana wraths, Targeted discard, Lili, Fatal Push, The Delve critters, Painful Truths, Collective Brutality... This is getting a little ridiculous. It kind of feels like everything good for Modern that gets printed, gets printed in Black.
You're not wrong. Black gets all the toys, blue gets the dumpster scraps, white isn't much better either. Personally I think it all boils down to this:
Draw go counterspell decks are only fun for only one person. WOTC wants a game that is engaging and fun for everyone playing. It's bad for business when you print cards that make draw go decks best in class.
This is very true. I nearly jump for joy when my opponent cast a turn 2 Gurmag Angler on the play. When my opponent's first 2 turns consist of 3 Inquisition of Kozilek/Thoughtseize, I am probably the most ecstatic person in the room...maybe even the country. I feel like I am making SO many plays.
On the other hand, my opponent did a turn 5 Cancel on my Through the Breach and I won't lie. I killed a kitten when I went home. It just was not as engaging as when my DS opponents strip every single non-land card in my hand by turn 3. I totally prefer games that go land, land, land, scoop. -

Hawk7915 posted a message on 4/24 Banlist update: Legacy Top banned, Vintage Gush/Probe restricted.I predicted last week no bans in Standard for exactly the reasons Forsythe said, as well as the additional reasons of:Posted in: The Rumor Mill
1) Bans tend to make folks investing in the game nervous and they are releasing a set that I think they feel shaky about (hence the full-art lands)
2) They have no idea what the meta could, should, or may look like now. All their testing was based on BFZ rotating and Copter and Emrakul being legal. They also completely missed CopyCat and dramatically underestimated the power of vehicles. They're lost in the woods, so why not just see what the pros cook up before doing something that hurts player and investor confidence?
3) The advent of extra ban's per year means we are unlikely to ever see bans right before a set releases again unless the meta is truly unsalveagable.
Not super shocked at the banning of Top, but it does completely gut the Legacy metagame. Happy to nab more for my EDH decks though.

WizardMN posted a message on What does MaRo mean by NH?He means Northern Hemisphere. He does that because Fall in the Southern Hemisphere is not the same as Fall in the Northern Hemisphere so it is meant to clarify for anyone in Brazil or Australia (for example) that whatever he is talking about will actually happen in Spring for them.Posted in: Speculation -

Havrekjex posted a message on 3 decks to cover most metagames?Posted in: Modern
The polar opposite of Temur Delver is Jund. Between those two decks you should have game against almost everything but Bant Eldrazi, which both sucks against.Quote from traderjoe »If you were to build 3 decks to cover the meta games of modern what would they be? I don't expect 1 deck to cover everything, but maybe a deck to handle combo metas, a deck to handle midrange, etc.
I have
Temur Delver
Coco elves
Martyr-proc
At the moment. Do these 3 cover most metagames?
This looks great, but I`d put RG Tron in the third slot. Eldrazi is a better allround deck, but RG Tron does the rock/paper/scissor thing better.Quote from Torpf »In a nutshell Modern is like a game of rock paper scissors. You have BG/x > Combo (Formerly Twin) > Tron/big mana > BG/x. You want some decks that fall into this triangle, so I would suggest a combination of:
- Jund/Junk
- Infect (Maybe even fast decks like Burn or Affinity)
- Bant Eldrazi/RG Titan Valakut decks
I honestly wish you could give this a rest. It`s not remotely the best deck in the format no matter how often you repeat it, jokingly or not, and your post is doing the exact opposite of what the OP is asking for, just to toot your own horn. What`s the use?Quote from MemoryLapse »Or just play 8rack and beat everyone -

MemoryLapse posted a message on Jace, Vryn's Prodigy - where does it stand now?Posted in: Modern
This is a bunch of words and terms without any real substance or experience behind it. Where and when did you try it and why didn't it work?Quote from cfusionpm »It's not good and has never been good. Maybe that is a bit of an exaggeration, but in a format as hostile as Modern, where if you aren't being killed by turn 3, whatever you play will be killed, and Jace's impact is minimal at best. I picked up my copies at ORI launch for $11 a piece and am kicking myself for not selling them at $90. Still sitting on my playset, hoping they find a home outside of filler EDH slots. Snapcaster is better in almost every regard, especially with counterspells. And outside of Goryos looting, I feel Jace would only be run in a deck as Snaps 5-8. But to take full advantage, they would also have to be running a proactive strategy (and even then, that requires cutting better, more useful cards to make room). -

citybug posted a message on Graf Rats and Midnight Scavengers (New "Meld" mechanic)This has to be real, it causes Hanweir, the Writhing Township to make complete sense. Hanweir, the Writhing Township is the product of several meld cards transforming into an oozing, living Eldrazi amalgamation.Posted in: The Rumor Mill -

This guy knows what he's talking about. All of this makes logical sense

I definitely want to play Abzan Eldritch. Play it Unburial Rites style, with Mulch and Grisly Salvage and Seige Rhino...

Nonbasic lands lose all abilities and gain "T: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool."
Good hoser for the strong ability lands and multiple mana lands while not locking people out of the game like Back to Basics or Blood Moon
