    So obviously scratch every th ing I said. Wizards went ahead and printed the answer Modern needed to Splinter Twin. Glad to see Wizards recognized it as a problem in the format.


    Uh yeah, a card that is arguably worse than combust and is so dang narrow that its useless versus almost every deck


    huh? Have you seen how excited most people are over the card? Most can't wait to replace combust, since the only thing combust hits that rending volley doesn't is siege rhino, and most people don't being in combust to just hit a siege rhino. Volley still hits all of twins creatures, resto angel, etc. The one mana over two is huge. Volley is the real deal.

    Using Leaks over Deprive. Sideboard is heavy anti affinity, and there wasn't a lot of affinity that made day 2. Main decks great, but I'd down on the EE, shatter, or vandals. 7 slots for that is pretty huge.

    Can someone fix the title of this thread? The OCD in some of us are cringing.


    what you rather it be?


    I think its because it says steam instead of stream.

    Lets take the standard talk to the standard boards. Cluttering up a discussion about the future of modern with standard arguments is a waste.

    I am surprised at the amount of people that want Modern like legacy. Why not just play legacy then? If its the cost I can understand, but if modern became like legacy, the cost would probably rise as well, keeping more new players out than it already does.

    This is a good discussion going on.

    Not a big fan of GCB. First we are banning fetchlands. Next he is surprised that GGT isn't broken yet. Then we are playing some weird Naya Zoo deck with Become Immense. And finally we have an equivocating comment on how control may or may not have the cards and he wouldn't be surprised either way.

    So it really sounds to me like he's just trying to distinguish himself with unique or predictive opinions.


    O I think he's an idiot, but Sutcliffe is asking the questions we all have been, on air, which makes the discussion great.

    Name checked on the website! Woo hoo!

    Unfortunately, I did much, much worse in the main event. I can list lots of reasons, (and waking up at 2am and not getting back to sleep probably didn't cheap a great deal) but ultimately I just didn't play well. Enough. I played against abzan, twin, twin, mono u Tron, infect, dredge, burn. I blame myself squarely for the abzan matchup, my starting hand was fine for abzan but I could have sworn I'd seen him on infect in an earlier round and mulligan ex accordingly..... Worst.decision.ever. but the twin matchups were rough. (As was infect) I pulled 4-5 (that's right, I only actually won 2 games all day Frown )

    But you know, it happens. I'll do some write ups at a later date I consider my contribution acceptable as I got us a shout out on the trial lists Smile (But right now, I need sleep!)


    Sorry I couldn't get us up there boys and girls!


    Props for rocking a good and unique list, I'm sure the lack of sleep didn't help!

    I also feel like the islandwalk off the seas is very important in certain matchups as well.

    My position is that of accept Modern warts and all, or abandon it, but don't torture it with more bannings and unbannings when the format seems relatively healthy


    Sperlings response to a post. Just throwing that here to see if that is true after GP Vancouver. After the last 28% azban, 12ish % infect and burn, if there is a repeat of that then obviously the format is not healthy. I think after this weekend we will have a lot of answers.

    " whole deck can be purchased for 1.5 Tarmogoyfs." This is how we should discuss card prices from now on, the Goyf scale.


    haha great scale. I hope it catches on!
