    I'm sad it doesn't include m13, I wanted to play jank battle of wits in a new format

    Hitting a twincast during the resolution of Collected Conjuring and targeting the conjuring that is resolving on the stack is legal. However, when twincast goes to resolve, Collected Conjuring will no longer be on the stack to copy, and twincast will fizzle.

    Edit: It's like Redirecting a counterspell onto redirect to counter the counterspell. Same with hitting Twincast with Epic Experiment

    I guess I haven't updated my sideboard to be as meta-relevant, as where I play leyline is often sided in against me so I've never taken scorn out.

    But agreed, leyline is usually just a speed bump for ad naus, not a silver bullet.

    posted a message on Why Tron is so hated ?
    I actually think with tron the issue isn't the lands necessarily. There are other virtual win the game combos with similar consistency and speed, but the issue is the diversity and plethora of threats that tron enables that causes people to get mad about it. For example, has anyone ever cast pithing needle, nevermore, or memoricide vs tron? What on earth is the correct choice to name?

    The diverse threat density combined with consistency makes it difficult for many types of decks to combat, and it leads to some feelsbad moments.

    I like tron, I don't think it's unhealthy for the meta. I would like more good answers to it, but that's what I want in modern anyway is better answers to a lot of things.

    I think this demon has the potential to be completely absurd. If you land him, you can just tutor up for your 5 card instant win pile you need if you can get any board presence whatsoever.

    If I'm thinking correctly, I think Solemnity shuts down infect harder than melira does. If you can't get counters but creatures attacking you have infect, they don't deal damage to you in any way. Melira, Sylvok Outcast makes them lose infect and deal real damage.

    With the return of cycling I'm praying we get some good utility/cycling lands. I really want a life from the loam deck to be more viable in modern and that'd be a good step towards it personally.

    Edit: maybe enters tapped cycling dual lands of some kind?

    posted a message on Does anyone miss playing AGAINST control?
    Even when it existed it wasn't great, but yeah I miss playing against it because it's a great match up for my ad nauseam list. Especially when inexperienced control pilots don't understand that you can't risk tapping out against it.

    The major issue with Mental Misstep is that it is the best answer to itself. So, in order to combat it effectively, you have to run it, making it incredibly format warping.
