MTG Salvation

There certainly is!

SaffronOlive posted a list a while ago focused around comboing with powerstone shard and mystic forge.

So is this deck officially dead in Modern?

Boys? We back?

I just built a Tatyova list not too long ago. Been looking for ways to make it more competitive. Been having trouble finding ways to make it run smoothly outside of basic fast ramp into bombs, so this provided some inspiration, thanks.

Anyone see this list? Looks pretty sweet, think it deserves some discussion. I might be a litle biased since I'm on the GW plan as well. My list is fairly different from this one though and is currently being changed every few games.

@The Jeskai Way

I've been considering that. My main concern is you ever need to path something with a Thalia on the board, you'd need 4 mana to do so.

I've bumped up to 4 jadelight ranger, cutting blade splicer and the card has been great. Sometimes I miss the 3/3 first striker but the upsides have been overshadowing the downside. I have to do more testing with it, but of the last 5 games I played on mtgo, it almost never felt bad casting jt.

Also Samzam I suggest you check out spiderspace's eldrazi list. It's pretty good and has been putting up results.

Jake, I am a little curious as to how you will handle the Jeskai Control match up. That deck always shows up no matter the setting. I've been running Thrun in the sideboard for that match up.

I'm interested in your approach to the match up. Maybe I will learn something.

I've made some tweaks since posting this. Jeskai control shouldn't be too hard. Being on the play obviously always helps.
Burrenton Forge-Tender and Selfless spirit are my ideal SB cards against them. Be aggressive with mana denial. Not just Leonin Arbiter + GQ, but Flickerwisp especially. Basically, mono-white is the best build of a deck against them, so play like one.

I've considered it. It's a good card, but I think I'd rather have eidolon in my SB since it's good against both Storm and KCI (as well as burn) which are fairly prevalent right now. Gavony Township already does the same effect for 'cheaper.' I'm really just not sure what I would cut to include it.

I definitely don't want to do less than 4 Restoration Angel.
If Jadelight Ranger doesn't prove to be any good, it's definitely next in line for testing in the flex spot.

Hey guys, I have January off work so I'm going to be grinding games/tournaments with this new list all month leading up to GP Toronto. I usually play mono-white, no eldrazi. I'm changing it up and trying GW. Knight of Autumn seems too good to pass up. The sideboard is definitely not set in stone, I'd like to get more accustomed to GW before deciding what the whole 75 needs to look like.

In my 2 flex spots I currently have Jadelight Ranger and Thalia, Heretic Cathar. Thalia is pretty good in creature heavy metas, so it's possible I should just be playing too. However my initial thoughts looking at this deck compared to mono-white is no Thraben Inspector. Playing the full 4 Horizon Canopy, or even 3, feels a little risky in this meta. Otherwise that would be the obvious way to keep cards flowing. Might adjust the number after testing. In the meantime I'm going a little off the beaten path with Jadelight Ranger. I think we can abuse this card pretty heavily with flickerwisp and Resto. I'm excited to test it out. Anyway, here's the list. Any input is appreciated.

How has testing been going for people trying Knight of Autumn? I'm currently playing GW Death and Taxes, not many people are discussing that version on the Death and Taxes thread. Looking for any solid input.

Hey guys!

I want to try the GW variant of D&T and i'm wondering, wich 4 drop is the best in the mainboard? We got the traditionnal Restoration Angel, Shalai, Voice of plenty and Collected Company. Personally I think that Shalai place is in the sideboard and i feel that coco is better than Restoration Angel. However i still find a lot of lists where restoration angle is used.

Sorry for bad english

It depends on how you build your deck, but I personally favour Restoration Angel a lot more. It has for more synergy with the deck, especially allowing you to abuse Flickerwisp a lot more, it's a creature so Aether Vial and Thalia aren't as awkward, and it's pretty much never a dead draw.

Has anyone seen this? https://www.reddit.com/r/ModernMagic/comments/9oa0w8/so_i_just_50d_a_competitive_league_with_this_hot/

Obviously our deck is a different one, but has anyone felt MD blood moon being lacking in this meta?

What are some non-intuitive lines for the deck, or is it fairly straightforward to pilot? What cards do you often prioritize casting first against which decks, what do you often want to mulligan to in bad matchups. What sort of sideboard options do we have and why do you choose certain ones over others? i.e playing molten rain over fulminator mage, or surgical extraction over nihil spellbomb.

Would this be the sub to discuss the Mardu Pyromancer build? I recently acquired the pieces for the deck and am looking for suggestions on piloting the deck and build tips. Was looking for a primer.

It sounds like an interesting idea, I would suggest giving it a try. Traditional Stompy builds can't bring in Tarmogoyf against GY decks because of Dryad Militant, as well as we have more effective ways of punishing and/or combatting those strategies. And yes, taking out Leatherback Baloth for the big new green boi is something I'll be trying as well.

EDIT: I know Reclamation Sage isn't exactly the favoured Affinity or Bogles SB card, but has anyone done any testing with Thrashing Brontodon? In the main or side? Been mulling it over lately, double green is good for Aspect, doesn't die to bolt, etc.
