Feb 4, 2014Shriez posted a message on Launch Giveaway!My favorite card out of every card in this game would have to be Thundermare. It may not be among the best or the strongest cards, but it was the first card I ever pulled from a booster pack of Portal all the way back in 1998. I still have that same Thundermare to this day.Posted in: Announcements

Just found out there's going to be a Modern tournament this weekend with a foil Misty Rainforest for 1st place, I want to go in with the best chance I have. This is what I took to FNM, what should I switch to maximize my chances? I don't have access to Liliana so that's out of the question.

1 Anger of the Gods
1 Nihil Spellbomb
1 Bontu's Last Reckoning
1 Slaughter Games
I definitely want to take out Illness In The Ranks and switch out Bontu's Last Reckoning for Wrath of God, beyond that I don't know what to put in. It's in a store I haven't played at before, so I'm going in blind as for what kind of decks to expect.
Differences in what I ran compared to my list above was removing 1 Grim Lavamancer and 1 Lingering Souls for 1 Big Game Hunter and 1 Lightning Bolt. Thinking of cutting BGH, 1 Paladin, and 1 Crusader for 2 Lighting Bolt and 1 Lightning Helix

Doesn't feel like I can do anything when they get natural turn 3 Tron and/or I get stuck on 1-2 lands and no other lands are coming up for 10 turns.

I'm pretty high on Thunderbreak Regent lately, thinking of bumping up to 3-4 and testing out 2 Dragonmaster Outcast and 1 Dragonlord Kolaghan for more Dragons.

Round 1
Ad Nauseum
1-2
He comboed the turn before I could Slaughter Games his Lightning Storm, lame.
Round 2
Infect
2-0
Squadron Hawk and Tombstalker were the MVP's this match, forced out the buff spells by going for kills on my turn.
Round 3
Grixis Death's Shadow
2-0
Honestly this feels like the best matchup for me, Rest In Peace and Mirran Crusader put in work.
Round 4
Copy Cat
1-2
I had the most abysmal luck this match, didn't see any creatures in any games except for Squadron Hawk, 1 Thunderbreak Regent, and an Emrakul thanks to Nahiri. No Lingering Souls, no Butcher, no Nahiri post game 1, nothing.
This is the Flying Midrange list I'm taking tomorrow, I'll write up how it does each round:
2 Arid Mesa
2 Marsh Flats
1 Godless Shrine
1 Blood Crypt
1 Sacred Foundry
2 Canyon Slough
2 Plains
2 Swamp
1 Mountain
2 Blackcleave Cliffs
1 Concealed Courtyard
1 Inspiring Vantage
2 Mirran Crusader
2 Thunderbreak Regent
3 Butcher of the Horde
1 Stormbreath Dragon
1 Tombstalker
1 Emrakul, the Aeons Torn
2 Nahiri, the Harbinger
1 Ajani Vengeant
4 Inquisition of Kozilek
3 Lightning Bolt
3 Path to Exile
2 Fatal Push
1 Collective Brutality
1 Terminate
1 Dreadbore
1 Crackling Doom
1 Kolaghan's Command
4 Lingering Souls
2 Stony Silence
2 Crackling Doom
2 Crumble to Dust
1 Anger of the Gods
2 Ethersworn Canonist
1 Slaughter Games
1 Engineered Explosives
1 Wrath of God
As for Squadron Hawk, I'm not advocating for it based on 1 FNM performance, I'm advocating for it based off a month of repeated testing against every deck I can find and every option I have for the 1-2 drop slot. I have yet to find a matchup where I wished Hawk was something else.
