I believe it's already Tier 2 level in terms of power just not in popularity or in terms of tournament showings. It however, has been consistently putting up 5-0 results online so we know its decent enough. Now, if they would ever let Cabal Therapy in Modern...
Nice list! Going to start putting together a similar list since my LGS is starting to do Legacy this Fall. I'm out right now but I'll post the list I'm looking to build a little later.
Great job on the primer! I'm currently building the Unburial Rites version on MTGO and in Paper. Plan on taking this deck some PPTQ's starting in July. Hopefully, I'll be able contribute on the deck soon.
Oh snap! We're on our way up! Bring us some goodies Eldritch Moon!
In all seriousness, this deck is constantly placing 5-0 in nearly every competitive MTGO League everyday. There is something clicking with this deck right now and I hope more people jump on the train!
So I'm building this list as of right now. Saw this on MTGO today and I really like it a lot. Hopefully Eldritch Moon gives us a few goodies to help push this deck. Anyway, what's the one card do you think we need to make the push in being more competitive? And let's not say Dread Return because that's not going to be in Modern anytime soon.
Hey everyone! I'm thinking about getting into Legacy since my lgs is starting to support it this fall. I'm looking into Dredge as the deck to get me into it. Here are my questions, should I start with Mana-less Dredge or LED Dredge? What's the pro's and con's of each? If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome! Thanks in advance!
Sorry, I don't know why my screen name showed up on the deck. I wasn't the pilot of this deck but was pumped to see it online. I've played a list very similar to this but never on MTGO. Will do so this week though.
Hey everyone! Mono-Green Stompy was one of the first decks I built when I got into Modern. Thinking about getting it for MTGO. Anyway, here is a list that went 5-0 in league yesterday. Here's the link and list. http://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/427575#paper
Sorry, It shouldn't say my screen name on the deck as I didn't pilot it. The guy who piloted to 5th in the SCG Classic is Daniel Hernandez.
Personally, I wouldn't play the ascendancy...it's a one of in that list and kinda win more.
Hey everyone! I've been keeping my eye on this thread as Aristocrats is one of my favorite archetypes. Anyway, here is a list that got 5th in SCG Classic today. I think its pretty sweet (mana base is a little weird though) and I'm going to try this list as soon as I can. What do you all think about this list?
Edit: This is not my deck, the guy who piloted it is Daniel Hernandez. I haven't figured out yet how to take my name off of the deck list...
So the Modern card Power Rankings article went up on Channel Fireball and apparently whoever wrote the article thinks Cranial Plating should be banned within a few years. Guess he/she doesn't like artifacts... Seriously, Affinity is a good deck, but its a deck that can be hated out though. Also, the format is probably the healthiest its been since the conception of Modern, so lets leave the decks alone and not push for more bans.
This is the problem with banning the best deck just because. Every time a new deck rises to the top, ban mania will ensue. And will be re-hashed over and over again as has been the case with Affinity.
The Twin ban is a big reason for this ban mania.
When a deck is oppressively good (Twin), then it needs to be looked at. Not broken good (Eldrazi), but the undisputed best deck in the format, and with win percentages to match. No deck right now hits that percentage.
I'm just tired of prominent people in the magic community calling for bans on cards when the format is good. It's usually people who hate losing to a certain deck or just don't want to face a certain deck in the format. Anyway, we should be talking about unbans instead of bans. Like I said, Modern is the best it's ever been right now so leave it alone.

I agree with you assessment. If you want the pieces, get them now. I would start with Nobles, than Caverns (if they're not reprinted in EMA). I'm pretty sure the prices will jump big time if this takes down a tournament when Modern season hits this August.
Oh snap! We're on our way up! Bring us some goodies Eldritch Moon!
