Hello everyone, I am new to Modern and decided to go with Burn. I started building my deck based off of the Pro Tour Fate Reforged top 8 but with the new Command being spoiled this morning I went back to the drawing board and put this together. The Soulfires are a separate test I am running with but with Naya in mind I though to play some Nacatls and since I am trying to keep cost a little lower, running Windswept Heaths instead of Arid Mesa. I also swapped a Foundry for a second Stomping Grounds. I have not changed the sideboard at all from my original build so any suggestions on how to improve it would be great.
Again I am very new to modern and burn so constructive criticism is more than welcome.
Single card I shelled out cash for was a Jace, TMS at 105. The most expensive single I picked up though is a Revised Underground Sea, lightly played, got it for 200 using trade credit.
These are the three sites I use to find what I need for a good price(outside of ebay). I go with Channel Fireball when I have large orders usually. They all will pretty much always have better prices than Star City and the customer service is just as good. Also Card Kingdom shipping is scary fast. Honestly I would never buy English cards from Star City because there pricing is unreasonably high to me. The only thing they do good is the huge selection of foreign language foils and promos.
1 on 1 EDH is a format that sees non WOTC tournament play. Its called Highlander and is big in parts of Germany and Canada. They have a small ban list and rely on a points system to keep things balanced.
Here is a podcast about it from the guys behind Friday Nights, unfortunately the audio is borked for it with crackling but it is worth a listen if Highlander(100 singleton) interests you. TTC - Highlander & Budgetlander
Modern Masters reprints didn't cause a price crash because of the limited print run, the really expensive cards were printed at mythic and the boosters were more expensive, making it a niche product.
At rare, unlimited print run, expert level set, there's so many, many more Thoughtseize being opened.
This right here. Some people at my lgs were talking about Thoughtseize price and brought up that a lot of the MM stuff didn't drop and in some cases have gone up with the exposure.
They missed the rarity change and small print run. You can't look at Goyf and Thoughtseize the same way.
Open it. The value of the set down the road is in singles, not as a whole. Most people aren't buying FTV Exiled as a whole, they spend less to buy just what they need.
And most people who collect all the FTV sets will have already gotten it.
Again I am very new to modern and burn so constructive criticism is more than welcome.

And as for re prints, I would think Onslaught fetches would be re printed much sooner than Zen ones.
