They should ban counterbalance and unban top....what deck plays counterbalance now?
It was only viable with preordain, ponder, jtms and top.
Why not inch the power level of the format a little by just banning counterbalance and bringing at least top, preordain, jtms or ponder back? Preordain and jtms aren't even played that much in legacy anymore....
ARTIFACTS (10):
3 Talisman of Dominance
2 Tumble Magnet
1 Nihil Spellbomb
1 Executioner's Capsule
1 Engineered Explosives
1 Mox Opal
1 Pithing Needle
PLANESWALKER (5):
3 Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas
2 Liliana of the Veil
I run 15 Artifacts and its not too shabby, realize this is not ideal, but thats why I figure I'd just run 3 Tezz.
I have the Aetherling in there as the alternante win con if I'm faced with too much artifact hate.
I have 3 Ghost Quarters for the game one vs Tron...I side in Extirpate (to remove a tron piece after destroying it) and Rain of Tears.
Mana Leaks and Thoughtseize are for the game one combo and control matchups.
Lily has been ok, but if I decide to change the Tumble Magnets for Bridge, I think she will be stellar.
What do you guys think of the list...I play Modern on Tuesdays at my shop and when I dont get mana screwed or flooded it tends to take over most games...but I do end up tieing alot.
I love the deck since it has so much synergies and ways to win, I just have to learn how to play and think faster.
I joined just to be a part of this thread.
I've been tinkering with tezz for a few months now and I'm glad to see people still playing it competitively in Modern.
I just recently changed my deck up to splash green for abrupt decay as a 2 of main...figure it works against stony silence...and is good vs the twin match up...also can deal with liliana.
I'm interested in peoples thoughts on Ensnaring Bridge vs Tumble Magnet?
I don't run Bridge currently, but thinking about including it main as a two of instead of Tumble Magnets. Just dont know how I would win through Brigde...or may change my strategy to winning off tezz -4.
Also I run an Aetherling, Wurmcoil and Batterskull as alternate wincons.
I run 2 thrist and 2 think twice for card draw....thinking of putting in a phyrexian arena for the control match up.
