MTG Salvation

nah man im not kidding. I think that card is really good and may find its way into that GR deck.

Add in 4 of that red cycling godzilla lol thatll fix the creature problem.


but anyways yes lurrus needs to go. This reminds me of sol ring in commander everyone needs to run it no matter what.

I dont know where else to post this but Im already super tired of lurrus.
Im tired of modern getting absolutely warped with each new set. The solution is a separate entity controlling B&R. WoTC is really screwing its player base by printing OP cards, making profit then banning it. We really really need someone to step up and take control of a B&R list or we will continue to get completely warping cards until they decide they should ban it (after all profits are made) This is THE solution to this problem. I guarantee you if someone else takes control of the b&r decisions WoTC will stop their broken designs immediately bc their broken cards will not be sold at all since they will be halted at the gate.

Have you guys tried failure//comply ?
I dont know how to link this type of card (aftermath card). It seems like a pretty good card not that I look at it. Its a pretty sweet tempo card.

Neither am I
Im down to talk about any decks here lol
Ive been playing alot of mono green stompy so whatever. And its nice that we have this thread makes it unique

I was going to suggest aether vial but i felt that perhaps its good enough without them and it makes it just different which is what i liked.
Do the vials make it more powerful over all? Or are there match ups where its not as good as the version without them?

Dude!! That list looks sick! The ranger + giant killer combo is super sweet! The list looks cheap too so i think ill buy the whole list and test it out

You guys think those new lands are playable at all? Even as a 1 of? They are fetchable and can be grabbed turn 1 instead of fetching for a shock land and putting it in tapped as is done many times.

Oh damn i didnt even notice it was sorcery.. that severely weakens this card in my opinion.


oh well sorry guys. I had my hopes up too.

Whats going on guys. I hope all of you are doing well and safe.
I was looking at electro dominance after playing it on arena recently and i feel its mega value so seeing it in this forum makes me want to pick up a playset just in case.


But i wanted to talk about this card

It seems very very interesting
Could be very good with spell queller or snapcaster mage. Imagine casting snap caster to block, flash back in one bite to pump snapcaster mage..
Whats your thoughts?

Ive been on the fence about royal scions in this deck the primary reason is that its a fairly aggressive card but i think im just biased bc of my unreasonable disdain for planewalkers..lol..
I think this deck is sweet and the SFM + royal scions package is bada** bc it makes SFM more relevant than just a chumper or equipped attacker. Now SFM can be a more serious threat without the equipment which is great news and one thing I felt SFM was lacking. Another cool thing about the deck is the boros charm on the side. Thats a little spice I like to see.
I really want to see this deck played.

Check out this tempo list that 5-0d a league

Looks pretty cool and exactly the type of list I like

The reason I think horizons was a mistake is that it did more harm than good. And generally speaking the good a set brings to format is easily over taken by the bad if they dont act quickly with bans and in some cases it cant be fixed via bans which is the case here. Mardu Pyromancer for example is a deck that died because of horizons and its not the only one, theres 8ball, OG bridgevine, izzet phoenix and now affinity, hardened scales, and many other mox opal decks will never see the light of day even if they were already tier 3-4, now theyre tier nothing bc they cease existing and this is due to things like hogaak, urza, oko, faithless looting ban bc of hogaak, bridgevine ban bc of hogaak, mox opal ban because of urza, oko ban because of oko. This set was like an atomic bomb struck modern. These decks may never see their former glory again. Couple this with the fact that the creation of various cards keeps other cards from ever entering the format namely force of negation will see to it that counter spell never enters modern due to things like teferi and little teferi existing. These cards just make it impossible for there to ever be an opening for counter spell to enter. I believe this was the case when they tested counterspell in standard. The existence of teferi hero of dominaria ensured that counterspell was NOT introduced in standard. And here in lies the pattern. Normal sets introduce ridiculous planes walkers while these modern specific sets introduce these ridiculous spells and round and round it will go until they ride this ship as far as it can go. But thats enough of my ranting. I just really disliked so much what happened in 2019 and I blame planeswalkers and modern horizons.

im low key hoping that another body takes control of modern and starts making its own ban list etc like that one for commander. I feel that wotc spreads itself so thin that they cant give anything the attention it deserves and end up screwing up in the end and returning to what works. Couple that with their full throttle approach to things and I feel we are certainly in for another tough year. We have seen the full throttle approach too many times. Master sets, master pieces, full arts, and now digital offerings, special edition packs, and the list goes on and on. Wotc finds or makes a treasure and then they go too da** hard and ram into the ground. Then they return to what they know and return to a popular plane to stop the bleeding.
I really really hope modern picks up, I really really hope that wotc does NOT make another modern horizons set, and i really hope they stop it with the planes walkers. I actually feel modern horizons hurt the format significantly. It would have been far better off with another classic modern masters set. Quite frankly they could have released OG modern masters again and it would have killed. WoTC is taking serious risks for an unknown reason and it seems to really be hurting.

Theres so many cards they can introduce into the format. They keep pu**y footing around the fact that counter spell needs to be in modern but instead they keep giving up dinky cancels, and ridiculous Ux planes walkers that no one asked for and the format doesnt need. In fact planewalkers are perhaps one of the reasons we may never see counter spell. I am not even gonna lie theres maybe 1 planes walker in the past year that i actually like, because i am so so tired of seeing planes walkers. Lets not even mention the ban list bc there are at least 5 cards that have no reason being on there.

I agree that modern has become a digital format and that to me seems like a problem bc its on a platform that is largely neglected by wotc as they have started to spread themselves thin in the digital realm as well. IE Arena, now a rpg and that moba which was rumored, to a new show that is also rumored. They have admitted themselves that the story sucks. I believe an article waas put out a couple days ago and the excuse was something along the lines of being spread to thin..? (i didnt read it i heard about it i should probably read it before saying anything but still..)

They need to cease all this stuff and focus back on the game and the players. But maybe we will be left in dust if the show and rpg start taking off bc history shows they put all their eggs in a basket until that basket breaks and is thrown away in the warehouse bailer.

2019 was probably the worst year for modern in my opinion. The format has taken some huge huge blows and I dont see wotc's competence level being able to salvage it while also pushing pioneer.
