What are SSGs used for? Is it to be a turn faster or to have extra mana for interaction? Is there also a discord where I can discuss this real time or is it just these forums?
thanks for the insight! this deck doesnt seem as complex or deep at first glance. i thought its a generic aggro deck that just dumps its creatures and hopes for the win but apparently i will have to think more about the cards im using. that made this deck even cooler than before.
that being said, i am very new to modern and have no clue how to build this deck correctly. is the decklist in the primer still relevant in todays meta? also, what would be general pros and cons for using the risen rift build vs unearth (aside from price)?
hello, im curious why this deck doesnt have results showing its degeneracy? after goldfishing it a bit, i really want to buy into this deck in paper. there is one thing i noticed though... this deck's pilots are kind of scarce and not everything is covered here. for example, on mtg goldfish i found a list piloted by 1 player several times, but their decklist differs quite a bit from the one in this forum. they dont run any unearth, or non-creatures for that matter, safe for aether vial (4x).
i wonder now if these decklists are interchangable? do they have the same strengths/weaknesses? i really like the idea of a maindeck brutality so if there isnt much of a difference i want to build the unearth version. also, how "necessary" are the caverns? does this deck really struggle vs counterspells? my reason tells me the redundancy allows me to easily play around counters, but maybe im missing something? the primer mentions gy hate is tough, is it "gy hate vs dredge" tough or "gy hate vs storm" tough? basically, does gy hate completely shutdown this deck or does it simply slow it down? one last thing, how does this deck fare against: abzan good stuff (or similar), gifts storm (or similar) and humans (or similar)?
im really hyped since my all time favourite deck is a horde of notions tribal commander deck and seeing elementals are viable in modern is like a dream come true!
