why do people think blood moon is good vs infect? it does almost nothing besides shut of inkmoth for 3 mana.

UWR twin is much better vs aggro. much better than RUG vs aggro. depending how you build it of course.
and Grixis is not reliant on the combo at all.

were not trying to combo aggresively and dispel is usually better and has more uses. vines can be better in some places but dispel is better in ALOT more spaces

I've been testing the Bloom Titan match against a friend and i noticed that goyf is really bad in the match up. So after a few games i started cutting it after SB and going full combo. I've found that even Spellskite is better than him on the match. Anyone share my thoughts?
Grudge is a trap card against titan. Its not worth it.
Not true. It's definitely worth bringing in, but don't keep an opener if grudge is the only form of disruption you have. It's like blood moon against Tron. It's only good if you have other things going on as well.
Its decent on the play, but its really lack luster on the draw. Amulet is really only powerfully relevant in their fast wins. Otherwise, Id much rather run negates, dispels, cliques, etc to deal with their threat cards on top of the mana denial plan with blood moons. By the time you can grudge an amulet, you've likely already lost.
Temur Twin with an impressive win against UR Delver to get a player into the top 8. Not sure on his overall Modern Record but it had to be at least decent.
Seems pretty stock. Notable omissions are keranos and blood moon out of the board. Looks like he opted for a second huntmaster and a thrun to round out his top end plan. Other notable choices are 3 spell snares, 1 Probe, and 2 Cryptic. I like the snares a lot, and it showed up well in the win and in by snaring a pivotal remand. Still not a fan of 2 cryptic. I like it when its good, but its been coming out a lot in many matchups. Single probe makes the greedy mana understandable. Still, though, nothing special out of the list, but it seems like it has been tuned well.
I've been back on UR Twin recently, and the thought came to mind that Monastery Siege would be sweet in that deck. Both modes are relevant depending on the plan. In grinder games, the loot effect on the Khans mode is great, and in games where jamming the combo is the plan, the Dragons mode makes things very difficult. I think Siege might be a lot more potent in Tarmo Twin, however, especially on Dragons. It just makes the beatdown plan a lot more difficult to answer. What do you guys think?
Diekmann's mana is greedy. I don't understand how you think 22 lands in a deck that runs 3 colors including UUU and RR requirements isn't greedy. Its ok because you run probe, but the mana base IS greedy. Its not a subjective thing, and you can't just say people do it so it isn't greedy. Im not sure why thats so difficult.

Keranos and Siege do completely different things. I really like Siege against Jund where both modes are highly relevant. Turns off their discard, Bolts to face, etc. It also lets you dig for answers if you're behind. Solid card all around. It also is a decent leyline replacement against burn.
Agreed. It's just another piece of the puzzle. It's extremely flexible and gives you a significant edge in whatever type of game is being played out. I don't think it should be easily dismissed.
In light of all the speculation of banning/unbannings (let's all not start a debate about what will/won't get banned/unbanned.) Who's jamming Bloodbraid Elf in Tarmo Twin sideboards if we get it back?

You have to take that question to the ban/unban thread. You'll get a warning in deck threads.

The question was much less about 'do we think it's getting unbanned?', and more of, 'wouldn't that be nice?'. If the mods take issue with that, I take issue with them. Sometimes (who would have thought?) topics in Magic cross over, because it's all one game.
