goblinundertaker posted a message on The State of Modern Thread (B&R 10/02/18)its nice to see that the unbans of bbe and jace are encouraging more people to discuss more unbans. i remember lurking and seeing people just lose it over the idea of sfm and gsz being unbanned. i have a feeling that gsz and sfm would be perfectly acceptable in the format. sfm and gsz potentiality open up more midrange options in the format while having little risk. no one is losing to gsz or sfm pre turn 4 and they promote interactive magic. the common counter argument is that they limit design space which is true but i would say is greatly over exaggerated. wotc simply hasn't been printing good equipment with sfm banned and i doubt they are ever gonna top batterskull. The green creatures they have been printing are just midrange value or beaters. if you want to do a creature combo strategy chord is likely just better as it gets all creatures and is an instant. the limits design space argument is also just used inconsistently as there are many cards legal in the format that tutor or work well with a specific card type that theoretically should fall under the same scrutiny. i could also see punishing fire and preordain unbanned but i think they have a little more baggage than gsz or sfm. punishing fire and preordain "feel" like they would be ok on power level but the have some questionable play patterns. punishing fire can lock out certain strategies and if there are enough good blue cantrips in a format you run the risk of enabling a blue cantrip consistency engine similar to what we see in legacy, but there are already some very questionable and similar play patterns already in the format so idk. in my opinion modern is the best its been since eldrazi winter and i believe a large part of it is due to recent unbans. if i were running the show i would wait a few more months and release sfm and gsz into the wild but i guess we will seePosted in: Modern Archives

goblinundertaker posted a message on [Primer] Zoo [Video Primer]this is what i have been trying out. bbe lets you play thalia main which as apposed to collected company. i wanna say thalia main is going to be a necessity for zoo otherwise we just lose to combo particularly storm . rallier has been good. it keeps thalia on board some, along with some pretty game breaking bbe into rallier into whatever. it also lets you run seal of fire to actually make the goyfs respectable creatures it has been doing ok but im pretty sure its just a worse humans deck though. definitely needs some tweaking but bbe opens up some deck building options.Posted in: Aggro & Tempo
