    Re: Griselbanned - Modern Edition

    What does the group think about Bob's sideboard? Is this the best 15 for that list?

    4 Blood Moon
    1 Lightning Axe
    3 Pact of Negation
    2 Inquisition of Kozilek
    2 Pyroclasm
    2 Shatterstorm

    Re: Griselbanned - Modern Edition

    Agreed. I ran your 60 in a local tonight and though I only went 2-2 (blame lack of piloting experience and running into turn 2 RIP in back to back games) the deck is obviously strong. The question I...

    All good points, I'm just actively trying to address the deck's weaknesses. Namely the clunky route to Plan A and its Plan B. Firstly, how often have you found it incredibly frustrating that you...

    The changes made by Bob Huang and Zach Jesse are certainly interesting. I want to propose Lightning Storm over Borborygmos for discussion. It's significantly cheaper to cast during the combo phase,...

    Take this one, for example, in a Jeskai Ascendancy deck that went 3-1 at Worlds:

    Re: [SCD] Gifts Ungiven

    I'm curious about Gifts Ungiven specifically as a sideboard strategy, or "Gifts Board", similar to familiar "Wish Boards". Granted, such a board would have less slots to use having 3-4 devoted to the...

    Re: TinFins 3: Return of the Onion Burst

    Not to argue in favour of the red splash, but I have yet to see any discussion with regard to a list that eschews blue for ONLY Burning Wish and Faithless Looting (which can be a strong addition)....

    Re: Griselbanned - Modern Edition

    I disagree. People were successfully running Ideas Unbound, Dig just does what that card wants to do but better. In hands that we don't have the early combo, DTT can make sure we get there on Turn 4,...

    Re: TinFins 3: Return of the Onion Burst

    That would be helpful, thank you. I just might have to irritate opponents at my local events until I get enough proficiency. Hell, it might even be a good introductory course to DDFT.

    I can't be the only one interested in the Doomsday transformation that has little experience with that deck. Is it possible to make a primer of piles that only apply to our deck? Are Shelldock /...

    Pithing Needle is something I've only run into once. It's definitely a card but so is Grafdigger's Cage and my perspective of them is similar. You're going to need to Chain or Serenity the Cage, why...

    Re: TinFins 3: Return of the Onion Burst

    I took the following list to 5 -3 at GPNJ. Bear in mind, this is rather unconventional:


    // Creature
    1 Borborygmos Enraged
    3 Griselbrand

    // Instant
    3 Brainstorm
    4 Dark Ritual
