officially modo'd the hell out.. lol... finished with a 24-4 record. lost to junk, a terrible gifts deck, reanimator (he turn 2 killed me and turn 3 killed me) and i don't even remember the last one. but ya deck is sick..
sorry lifes been crazy. Today and Tomorrow I'll be power gaming on MODO. My brohan is in town so i set aside ample time to game. A quick update on whats up with this deck. I'm back to that original 60 in the original post. That 60 is damn near perfect. Well it is perfect.
I took notice on the popularity of this deck and back off playing on magic online for a bit. Also played some sub optimum builds to winnings records in the 2 ptqs i played. But anyways I"ve played 4 Dailies in the past 24 hours. 14-2 record. 4-0 4-0 3-1 3-1. I'll keep ya posted on more results. But we are back to the old well. and winning.
Feel free to blow me up on modo. Shoktroopa is the name. IF i don't respond i apologize and i'll try to spam ya back out when i have time
Ummm, I'm in the middle on Solemn, and Repeal. That's why I settled on 3 and 3. Both serve a useful purpose but both are kind of weak against some decks. Repeal flat out wins games v aggro. Your whole mission is to stabilize ASAP. I feel if i cut repeal to 2 the aggro creature draw for my opponent becomes even more threatful than it already is. Sometimes tapping out for solemn against aggro opens the door for them to blow us up t4 or 5. SO, its your call on what you want to do. I can't go below 3 repeal on principle alone. I feel its very valuable and versatile.
just 3-1'd a daily. Lost to twin (double dispel got me)
The mages make the deck. You should never feel the need to fabricate for O. stone. That entire thought process is flawed. If your fab'ing for O. Stone you must have tron assembled. So..., if i have tron going why on earth would anyone pay 2U to cast fab, then find O. stone. 8 mana gets me titan, wurmcoil, platinum or counter mana.
If you want to play a card that tutors your deck just scrap the whole counter concept and load up on sorceries. I mean play monoblack w. diabolic tutors. Every single card in the main has a purpose... and every card serves its purpose. The sideboard can be whatever because the main 60 runs like a well oiled machine. I can't stress that enough.
And my other rant on the whole emrakul hookeydoo post sideboard. WHY??? if i'm wasting time searching up eye or ramping to 15 mana I have already slaver locked you... This deck has an insane enough late game. Keep it straight to the point because "spicing" it up is only going to make it more inconsistant.
lol @ my 61.. ya misclicked in a 3rd wurmcoil.. wanted it in the board.. just never noticed it cause i joined at 5:29.
T - I fetched a titan, I had Map, Spell burst, stone, tower, island..
online with 8 minutes left i figured it would be easier and quicker to get a guy with burst back up and just crush him. Or draw any non land card to lock it up. I would grab mindslaver in real life and just slaver lock but this was correct in our awkward situation.
if i was computer savvy enough to stream i would.. i really would. waiting for replays kind of blows. But ya i cruised through this tournament. I think i'm 18-2 in swiss rounds in my last 20.
can people please stop talking about the platinum v emperiun. You hit the nail on the head. Mana cost is 7 and 8... tron makes 7. 8 is another turn another resource used to cast a big idiot that does nothing. literally nothing. Platinum angel is there for affinity plus its an amazing silver bullet to tutor when your opponent dumps his hand and runs out of resources. And flying helps. Emperiun is garbage.
Also, 3-0 in this daily. playing with a 61 card deck lol. Last minute mashout caused me to add a 3rd wurmcoil( i meant to add it to the board) but still 3 and 0. Beat up on pod, u/w control, and tribal flames.dec. So ignore the 61 card list and 3rd wurmcoil.
Alright boys..... Let me explain a few things about this deck.
I am the infamous "shoktroopa" on modo. I came out of retirement a little back and found myself playing a lot of modern.
This little guy is my baby. The list is ROCK SOLID. I can honestly say that I handcrafted this masterpiece single handedly. I've played 2 PE's online and went a combined (12-0) in the swiss. Took 1st, and 5th. (lost to Jund, putrid leech). The starting 60 are almost perfect. The sideboard we have tons of options because this deck is very flexible and resilient to almost everything.
Why the u/w talismans!! why no white spells.. Dismember is black.. The only reason i played u/w was and is to decieve your opponents that your playing u/w tron. It's merely an optical illusion. You can run any color as long its blue.
Oboro?! It's in the list simply because you can do a few a tricks with it. Say your stuck on one blue source and its your turn and you thirst for knowlege.. have tron but no more blue. Bounce it and play an untapped oboro. Rarely does this happen but it does and has and will.
The pithing needles are pretty much irrelevelant with inclusion of squelch / trickbind on the board.
Please don't run annex... i mean honestly? just play spreading seas if u want that.
I didn't expect this deck to take off like it has but I hope everyone is having fun bashing nearly every single deck that is across from you like i am. The deck is definitely pretty good
