    Nice. Setting aside my bias, I agree. This is actually how I approach my Modern manabases.

    [Heavily biased opinion] Shocklands are absolute trash that add up to nothing more than a slap in the face to anyone who's long time favorite format is the unloved bastard child of the Reserved list....
  3. Re: What happened to the Chinese counterfeit apocalypse predicted in 2014?

    And there we have it. If we can't trust an online marketplace we have to go to the LGS to buy cards. Along with that, selling our cards becomes more difficult unless we trade in to the LGS at...
  4. Re: What happened to the Chinese counterfeit apocalypse predicted in 2014?

    Your story is a little open ended. We're you knowingly buying fakes or what?

    On another note, that guy on mtggoldfish claiming that fakes are bad for the game and for LGS's couldn't be more...

    Re: Best Forum for Modern

    Yep I remember. Good times indeed, but I kind of jumped ship on Legacy when Modern first came around because Legacy was already turning into the same few decks.

    The worst part about Modern now is...

    This strategy works. I played 5 or 6 games against a similar list last Friday. I was on Goblins and the pre board match was 50/50. Ratchet Bomb was a pain for sure. Keep working on it and take...

    Re: [DTB] Canadian Thresh (a.k.a. RUG Tempo, Tempo Thresh)

    So I just jumped back into playing legacy after a long break and chose to play RUG. So far I've had no problem beating Patriot or UR Delver in the face of TNN. In fact I've lost exactly one game to...

    Re: [Deck, Modern] 3c Gifts

    I think you're underestimating the main a little bit. Given the fact that, currently, the only viable combo decks in modern are creature based combos, the deck seems to have waaaaay more than 3...

    Engineered Explosives? Other than that, good point. Although the deck does seem to be rather more concerned about the long game instead of eeking out exalted damage in the midgame. I could see...

    [Deck] UWG Gifts

    The concept of 3c Gifts is familiar to most of us who have seen the power of the Intuition/Loam engine abused in Legacy. In Modern, Gifts Ungiven...

    Re: The State of Modern

    What you allege requires your assumption to be true and that I somehow missed it. This is easily disprovable. Black Lotus is capable of generating more mana in one game than the sum of mana cheated...

    Re: [Combo?] Heartless Myrs

    Heartless Summoning seems to work better with Scythe of the Wretched and Triskelion. At least that way you actually get a 3 card combo.

    Re: Card searching engine

    Yeah. Either the engine is a total failure or it's so counterintuitive that it's inoperable.

    Try searching card names for "wish" with colors white, red, or green. Uhhhh...we all know...
