Evening Everyone, Inspired by the desire of having a transformational board plan like ice zebra station, and with the emergence of the UB shadow deck, I bring you this nightmare of a fever dream.
...

As far as manamorphose goes, it by itself does not add a whole lot of value. It can fix mana sure, but I've never found myself being color screwed by the deck. Mana screwed, sure, it's a greedy 75...

I can see that, Bizarro stormy is pushed into the all-in turn it seems. I just always liked exhume because it gave me one more way to stick children. For one reason or another it has been easier to...

For a reanimation package, I cannot recommend enough the shallow grave/exhume/reanimate picks. All the reanimation spells tag all creatures, except for Emrakul, who is the last of my concerns. It...

That's fair. I like the card not only as a bin outlet but just because it helps churn past cards in a way that ponder does not here like it does for storm. Brainstorm is likely the solution to all...

I mostly agree with this. The 4c list seems to be overextending just to have SB blood moon. I would probably want careful study in the main, I don't like relying on entomb and discard alone. It seems...

I want to burst onions next week the SCG event but I don't know if my friend who would drive is going yet.

Good luck to anyone who tries to go for it.

I always bring this up when it comes to magus but a consideration is dragon's breath. I saw the card in an oath's deck many moons past and it always seemed cute.

I'm not arguing against toll box decks, or tool box play styles in general (I play Kiki-Chord in modern for all it's worth), it's just like you said, sometimes RB reanimator goes off without entomb...

My strong disagreement was in response to the line that the RB build itself is not competitive. A linear T1 gameplan, with a T1 back up, that can continue to threaten a win every turn of the game...

@Karhummies

I get how the loop would work but it's not a matter about having 1 extra mana post combo. I am not particularly worried about card disadvantage when the game plans contain 2 concise...

I previously tried the burning LED build but found it underwhelming which in turn led me to cut them completely. The chrome mox is I think part of the warping that results from exhume. If you go all...

Afternoon TinFinians.

It's been a while since anything updated here but there is 1 card from Rivals that I think is worth considering.

Silent Gravestone

I've had a blast playing Ground Seal,...

Since you're not boarding into the mentor plan I would definitely recommend massacre over toxic deluge.

Deluge hits more, sure, but I've only found wanting the -x/-x against d&t/hatebear...

I've beaten chalice on 1 multiple times with 2 cmc spells, so a stompy player may go chalice on 2 if they have the chance. But that being said, I don't think it is particularly likely of a scenario...

My auto include was for chrome mox, I never really considered playing without them.

I agree on the CoBru. I didn't immediately value the card when it was first printed but my opinion changed as...

I always played assuming I needed them in my 60. But that was always just because that's what I did. My whole world is upside down now, thanks .dk.

^Agreed 98%, I disagree on the chrome mox but I am playing a different deck which may rely on it as a crutch.

I like running 4 griselbrands just because that is a card we need to enter the grave...

Welcome to the best deck!

The second chrome mox is helpful when the worst case scenario occurs and you need to enter into combat with just Griselbrand for an extra draw 7. Shouldn't happen often...

Fair enough, I cut goryo's before adding ground seal so that concern was never on my mind.

I completely agree, boarding in 4 cards always feels wrong, which is why I'm curious to other silver...

Yeah, I got the idea for ground seal a couple pages back around August? September? Not sure, but it was from another individual on this thread.

My maindeck runs 4 shallow grave, 4 exhume, and 4...

I know a lot of people are on the transformation to a mentor sideboard, but mentor hasn't been as good in the RB version due to a lack of cantrips.

So, instead, I've been trying a Jund list with...

I play RB Tin Fins which looks mostly like a reanimator deck swapping animate dead for shallow grave, and the 2 flex fatty slots for 1 Emrakul and 1 Children of Korliss.

Some hands are weaker...

I'm not arguing against ponder but careful study might be a consideration. Just as an extra way to bin a griselbrand. You do have plenty of discard so it doesn't seem like it would be too much of an...

Hello Fellow Tin Finians.

Eternal Extravaganza is firing off today in Philly and I jammed the afternoon legacy side event. A little while back Karhummies suggested ground seal, skeptical I brought...
