Print a new dual with "When X comes into play, exile the top 2 cards of your library. Yeah, Brainstorm could abuse it, but no more than it would with a fetchland.
New World Order hit more than just the complexity of the game mechanics. It dumbed down the stories, as well. The Planeswalker cards were the beginning of the end of decent storytelling. They decided...
Craig might end up being the least of the buyout problems.
Martin Shkreli just joined the party.
...
Let these spikes happen. There's really only a few possible outcomes:
1. The format becomes too expensive, and those cards sit, crashing prices. Maybe people leave, but come back when it becomes...
Collective Brutality certainly looks like it could be useful in Dredge. You want to empty out a big chunk of your hand in that deck.
Edit: Just saw that you can't pick the same mode more than...
Already have the Elesh. The last combo deck I played was Booberries (Was that the right name? Shuko-Cephalid combo.) I guess it just bored me after awhile. I've never been a big combo guy. Couldn't...
Can't wait to start with this deck. I already had a few pieces, but finishing the mainboard cost me less than $70. Thinking of trying an Elesh Norn as an extra finisher.
EMA will still sell well, and we'll get an EMA2 in the future. They have to stagger some of the high demand cards to keep the product relevant in the future.
Smallpox works well with recurring creatures. I'd swap a Tower or two for Urborgs to make it easier to cast. There's just too many Towers in your current build.
Innocent Blood works more in your...
So...Legacy 8 Rack? I'd lose the Reanimates for Funeral Charms. Sideboard them if you want, but they shouldn't be part of the game 1 plan. Ensnaring Bridge was a way to slow down opponents, but since...
That's pretty much the idea. I might be a tad slower, (not much, really) but it rarely misses. I tend to flood the board with creatures that just don't go down.
I've been playing Dredgevine for a while, and I've found that recurring creatures are the best avenue to pursue. I've gradually taken out most of the dredgers and I'm still blazing through my...
Loving Prized Amalgam. Going right in my Modern Dredgevine deck. Ordered my set.
Guess I'll do a scroll down commentary of the spoiler page, just trying to focus on the newest spoilers.
Skin...
I do have sets of Strands and Deltas, and a pair of Mistys, so I'll tweak the land base to include some of them. I can't believe I overlooked that. Damn, I've got Legacy-rust.
I honestly hadn't...
I'm taking the plunge into this deck. Dreadnought has fascinated ever since I started playing, and Stifle is one of my all-time favorite cards. However, cost is an issue, and even though I'm...
Something else to consider here is that WoTC might be testing the waters to see if they want to push Legacy as a format. They've seen Modern take off over the last couple years, and have sold out of...
Unless this is like Phyrexian mana, in which you pay some price like life. Wastes might just be a non-basic to get that mana without the alternate cost.
Siege Rhino. But most people seem to prefer other options, like Dismember. Uncounterable or not, this can't off Rhino, so I don't see it as too useful in Modern.
Archive Ratcatcher :b:
Creature - Human
Whenever you draw a card, put a 0/1 black Rat token into play.
2/2
First, they ate the spell books. Then they ate the history tomes. Interestingly...
I can see a reverse shock, one that gives your opponent two life. But that's probably as close as we'll ever get.
Look up Travis Woo's articles for modern brews on Channel Fireball. He's covered a ton of decks and a variety of play styles. It's a good place to get some ideas.
Not sure about Confidant or Delver would be. The life loss from both Confidant and Bitterblossom might be too much, and there would be too many creatures to run Delver. I'd rather see Vapor Snag or a...
I don't think the red 2/1 should be that hard to make. It could even parallel Snapcaster.
Pyro Apprentice 1R
Creature - Human Wizard
Flash, Haste
When Pyro Apprentice comes into play, copy...
Junk is the best shell for them right now, with decent discard and elimination backup. Those colors bring the power/toughness boosters and cheap, useful options. I still think Frenzy Sliver has...
