What version are you playing? I've been playing with Caleb Durward's R/B version a ton lately and Ux decks have felt fine. I could see shoal or even the grixis deck having a harder time with it though.
YEAH im running the grixis shoal version. just seems like you need the t2 or hope you get good splices.
i feel it takes making use of the splice mechanic not as great with Defense Grid . sad you beat fury of the horde version thats my favorite variance of the deck:(
sweet showing though
G1: got lucky g1 with a early worldspine wurm, ******* got real close though
sided: -2 nwhisp -ttb -blood moons/ +leyline +pyroclasm
G2: got leyline down and pyroclasm into a combo.
M2: infect 2-1
G1: played inkmoth first i did a turn 2 blood moon. combo'd turn 4
-blood moons -1ttb -1DR [ i dont know why]
+pyroclasm +inquistion
G2: killed me turn 2
G3: t2 killed him
M3: naya burn 1-2
G1: combo turn 2 [ got the nuts]
-same sb as match1
G2: milled to 5 cause i really had to but i got a leyline so i kept it. mother ****er destructive reveled me and it went all down him from there even with a shoal Worldspine heal.
G3: just didnt have anything and misplayed playing a pyroclasm that costed me the match.
M4: naya burn 2-0
G1: he had 2 rift on suspense 2 swift spears and a grim lavamancer ready to kill me next turn. top decked goryo with an early griselbrand in the gy for the win
-sideboard plan the same
G2: in my opening hand got leyline down and he didnt expect it and ended up winning around turn 7.
ended with some decent pack pulls and store credit, didnt get any free matchups like jund/azban/or tron like usually shows up. played all fast decks and it was spooky. playing griselhoalbrand against burn or infect is literally straining my life but it was still fun.
thoughts: i dont feel like the splash of blue is needed. i would run the grixis if i was planning on playing fury of the horde version but i want to see how the new format is going to adjust before i make any changes. even though i played all fast decks i still REALLY like blood moon in the mb and i think it will be better in the new format.
Twin made the format a lot more interactive. The question deck builders had to start with a lot of the time was: "can your deck answer a 3 mana creature with a 4 mana enchantment on it, at instant speed? If not, go home and add some more cards to your deck that care about what your opponent is doing."
And now that is lost.
I seriously hope modern doesn't just devolve into an uninteractive turn 3 infect/affinity/burn + tron format.
thank god it got banned then.
Thank god the card that was making the format a much more interactive one got banned? Are you confused or something? Unless you like uninteractive goldfish magic, in which case fair enough, but most don't.
do you mean how stale the format is forced into playing a certain way? are you confused or something?
No, I literally meant: "the card Splinter Twin significantly increases interaction in the modern format of magic the gathering by altering people's card and deck choices in order to combat it."
Do you agree with this statement or not?
Don't try and avoid the issue by bringing something else up like you did in the post I'm quoting.

So, you want more uninteractive decks? What is harder to interact with, Twin or Burn/Affinity/Infect?
twin. now you just adjust your deck accordingly to the new meta. ezpz
