This situation is a little bit different. I was ridiculous on the button last week. Had a weird epiphany while discussing the deck with a friend last week. Realized that if you played Endless One you had a a card that had a variable spot on the curve and would bring it all together. He looked at me weird and said he didn’t get it. Could’ve been on that hype had they listened to me.

Right now I think that UWr control might be the hype. Have a list in my head. I have a sneaking suspicion that it might beat eldrazi somewhat clean because of the nature of the deck.

In other news, the Eye of Ugin I randomly found in a pile of cards a few months ago has now quadrupled in value.

People have really short memories. Standard almost always takes over Modern, and then it doesn’t because of bans or just the meta shifting. When no one is prepared for it, it walks over everything but then people get creative with solutions or run different decks and it just becomes another deck.

Tarkir completely changed Modern with Delver running Treasure Cruise / Dig Through Time until they banned that. Then you have the impact of the Delve fatties and Rhino and what Rhino did for Junk decks running Pod. Then they banned Pod. The same thing will happen again.

Edit - Eye is probably the prime candidate for banning. It breaks so many of Wizard’s rules on mana acceleration. Like you can drop mimics for free turn 1. t2 you can drop a Thought-Knot Seer with a Temple turning them all into 4/4s. With a good hand you’re looking at turn 3 kills.

4991

Well Eye of Ugin let’s you play the new Eldrazi guys for 1-3 mana.

4992

Or 0 in the case of Eldrazi Mimic. Urborg also lets it tap. With this latest lot of stuff it’s probably banworthy.

4994

Oooh, @shinquickman legacy could very well have a eldrazi deck with city of traitors and ancient tomb. Put in the eyes and eldrazi temples, and you could have a significantly higher top end. You could even maindeck chalices and trinispheres. So it’d be like dragon stompy without the red mana requirement.

Why? Because fuck the police.

Had a guy play against me with some brew on MODO, was bad , I asked him how it was going and he said bad. One work Wastleland and another Terminus and another Counting to 10 and another 3/2 Flyers outrace ya or affinty can drop its hand and be done. Ok more than one word. Though on that odd spot I wonder with the new draw card land if the Legacy version of Affinity could be somewhat playable again. That was its biggest issue vs decks like Miracles you just ran out of gas and it had many open sideboard slots.

So after looking at decklist’s in Modern oddly if the top 4-5 decks are creatures and burn then prison becomes a sexy ass choice. Suppression Field would be cut completely and thought knot would be enemy #1 but IDK like its not a Karn or Ugin lol. You just run the 12 sweeper package 4 Nodes/4 Wrath and 4 Holy Light(infect) maybe (though Chalice might make this better as a mass removal spell like Anger of the Gods or something a little more risky like Dismember). I would main deck 4 Blood moon since outside the UR version it would be back breaking for eldrazi and affinity and zoo. Some food for thought you little modern kiddies. Take it and run :slight_smile: If I was going to a Modern event tomorrow I would go with it. Cmon you know none of these teams had a prison deck is there gauntlet of decks. If they did they would of been like yo the deck with Propaganda isn’t a terrible choice lol.

4996

Yeah, I’ve been thinking about building prison; especailly because the eldrazi deck is badly matched up against ghostly prison. They make a lot of mana for casting creatures but not much else. Mana leak is hilarious good against these because the mana is virtual, not actual. So you aren’t tapping a eldrazi temple to pay for a mana leak.

So it goes with people’s overreactions though, nobody’s gonna want to look at a lot of the weaknesses the eldrazi decks are showing.

4997

They tried that already.

4998

:rofl: I got a permaban from the Magic Stream chat for saying “Guts & Bugs”. This was in response to LSV having a Gutshot in hand.

Draftdrazi vs Colorless Eldrazi in finals.

I feel like if wizards just keeps printing new janky stuff then I’m OK with welcoming new deck archetypes like this. I feel like people who were trying to make allies decks in modern from BFZ were hoping for the same impact that eldrazi people were expecting from Oath. Maybe the new innistrad will make vamp/zombie modern decks competitive!

I really don’t think that all of the people demanding a ban are going to be heard. Even if wizards does somehow plan on banning the lands they are going to be making a good amount of revenue from the people trying to buy booster boxes/drafts from the sets. Although treasure cruise and dig through time were eventually banned throughout the formats, it wasn’t immediate at all with dig taking quite a while considering how obvious it helped combo decks.

5001

Getting ready to sell all my magic cards tomorrow.

5002

By any chance, do you live in Las Cruces?

5003

@Menschenopfer Do you ship?

5004

I live in Az. Im sure I can sell my serum visions, remands, cryptic commands, spell skites, scalding tarns, steam vents, white blue fetchlands, and other stuff for modern. I think theres a UPS next to me, I might be able to walk their and ship. Only problem is I dont have a ebay or amazon account.

5005

@Menschenopfer The only way to conduct business would be for me to take you on your word and paypal it. But I have every blue/black/red card that matters.

Do you have green stuffs or paths?
