FoodChainGoblins posted a message on [Deck] Modern SliversI have played the deck with 3 Sedge Sliver and 4 Sedge Sliver and it is a world of difference. Sedge Sliver is basically a worse Sinew Sliver in most cases, but it is necessary to have 12 total Lords. The regeneration ability is rarely good in my play testing, but when it is good, it is nearly unbeatable. I feel like Sedge Sliver and Abrupt Decay are 2 incredibly powerful cards that sometimes just won't be good. I think we have to accept that. I put the 5th Manaweft Sliver in the deck as a singleton Gemhide Sliver. I think it really helps Abrupt Decay, as the slightest changes really change the deck with Collected Company. I've had to cut some gain life Slivers to the SB. That being said, I actually have been running Kiki Chord at tournaments currently. It's too bad to me that there are too many choices to play right now. If I play on Thursday or Tuesday, I probably will run Slivers.Posted in: Deck Creation (Modern) - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

So I learned today that after copying an Awoken Horror the cmc for Phantasmal image is 0. My opponent was playing the new UR Arclight/TITI deck and had his Awoken Horror facing 2 imaged Horrors of my own. He EE for 2 to clear the board so he could follow with Reveler, but he lost his and my imaged ones stayed. So sweet that an image of transformed card only gets the facing card cmc and not cmc of reverse, per the rule changed with Sol.....!

Of course, those magical turn 1 moments still happen! See screenshot....

Just giving a report on recent mtgo friendly league I played with WB Aristocrats. I felt the deck was very competitive, and really enjoyed playing despite the overall result. Here is the deck:
4 Doomed Traveler
2 Tidehollow Sculler
2 Viscera Seer
2 Blood Artist
4 Cartel Aristocrat
4 Zulaport Cutthroat
4 Champion of the Parish
4 Dark Confidant
4 Return to the Ranks
4 Lingering Souls
3 Path to Exile
1 Fatal Push
4 Godless Shrine
2 Shambling Vent
2 Swamp
2 Vault of the Archangel
4 Marsh Flats
1 Caves of Koilos
4 Concealed Courtyard
2 Leyline of Sanctity
2 Nihil Spellbomb
1 Zealous Persecution
2 Burrenton Forge-Tender
3 Thoughtseize
2 Stony Silence
2 Fragmentize
1 Wrath of God
MATCHES
1. Bant Knightfall - LOST(0-2). I just can't seem to beat this deck. Game 1, faced 2 Scavenging Ooze so nothing to Return for. I was still in game with flying tokens and just needed one more Drain Creature to sac and win, but didn't get there. Game 2, multiple Spell Queller blocked the air assault, and Ghost Quarter my Vault. Eventually multiple CoCo's brought in Izzet Staticaster before I could get Drainer on board to sac.
2. Grixis DS - Win (2-0). Game 1 got in some early damage and double Return to the Ranks got me there. Game 2, He mulled to 4 and I had Thoughtseize to take care of his hand. He was way behind but tried. I got there with beats.
3. Affinity - Win (2-1) Game 1 an early Path to Exile removed a Ravenger, while multiple Lingering Souls gave me enough blockers on a Plated Inkmoth. Got in some damage and then sac'd for win. Game 2 I had Fragmentize, Paths, and Stony Silence, so kept his board light, but I only saw 2 lands and eventually died to 3 Ornithopter beaters with Signal Pest. Game 3, he kept a greedy opener with no lands and a Mox Opal, which I hit with Fragmentize. Pumped a Champion and multiple beats early on, he scooped.
4. Vizier/Druid Combo - Lost 0-2). Game 1, he went off on Turn 4, and I had no removal for the combo. Game 2 went really long. I drew removal and hand disruption. We both threw down a lot of creatures and I was setting up to sac for the win. But he played Linvala, Keeper of Silence to stall my sac, and then Chorded for combo again.
5. Jeskai Control - Lost (1-2). Jeskai is also a very tough MU in my opinion. Games went super long. I wish I had a Liliana for this MU. Game 1 I grinded out and eventually sac'd for win. Game 2 was very tense. I stayed in game with tight play against his counters, and Returned twice to keep pressure. He was at 8 life and I was down to 1 life with attackers for 5 and a Blood Artist but no sac creature. He had a Restoration Angel on the field. I had a Wrath of God in hand and he had an unknown card in hand. I attack, he blocks, and second main I wrath. Turns out his card was Lightning Helix for the win. Game 3. We grinded out and I was at 19 life and he was down to 4, but I lost on time. He ended with 25 sec.!!!!!
Still a blast to play. Shelldell, I teied for a while the Abzan version you posted but just found it too slow, though I admit would have been better against the control decks I faced. Just feel more comfortable with the faster Orzhov version. Will continue to look to tweak the deck and play more leagues.
Welcome any feedback.
