Dies to Removal

Inkmoth Nexus and Phyrexian Crusader. The rest is disruption and removal, you can find a combination that suits your taste and metagame.

2nd place at a 10-man event. Ran a stock list with one Liliana of the Veil taking Vatmother’s place. 4 Duress 2 Illness in the Ranks 2 Shadow of Doubt 2 Devour Flesh 3 Drown in Sorrow 2 Surgical Extraction Wins: BW Tokens (LOL Illness) UR Delver twice (no problems whatsoever; he didn’t run Young Pyr...

Gonna run the deck again at this FNM. I’m sick of playing Burn and everyone’s sideboarding against it anyway. Oh, poor little BW Tokens and Soul Sisters!

Any new sideboard options besides that Infest + scry 1?

SB question: Wear//Tear + Smash or Revelry (plus a singleton Stomping Ground in MD)?

Modern:
Dig Through Time, Treasure Cruise, and Birthing Pod are banned.
Golgari Grave-Troll is no longer banned.

Back to Mardu/Boros?

Lost horribly to Delver tonight (I ran Cruise/Revelry burn). Guys stabilized at 1–4 life and drowned me in card advantage. I missed a way to clear their graveyard to nerf Delve spells.

Newfangled Affinity build running 4 scissors wrecked me too. Guys, what's your answer to second turn 5/5 lifelinker?

Let's discuss post-board answers to Kor Firewalker. Dismember? Pyrite Spellbomb? Ignore and attack into him keeping two mana up?

Choke chokes our Cruises, which are a bit overhyped yet awesome.

Swiftie is nice if you're used to sorcery-speed fetchless builds. Way better vs removal-dense decks than the Devil, but slower in general.

Idea’s obvious, but imagine a land/land/Spike/Probe/Wraith/Manamorphose/Cruise hand vs unknown deck. Would you keep it?

52-card decks lead to some YOLO mulligans. Synergy is cute, but it seems we've got enough actual cards to cast Cruise when needed.

Geist is totally sick in the mirror match.

Japanese God of Modern tournament had two Cruise Burn decks in the finals. Game 1 , Game 2 . Hajime Nakamura [deck] Creatures 4 Goblin Guide 4 Monastery Swiftspear 4 Eidolon of the Great Revel 1 Vexing Devil Spells 4 Lava Spike 4 Lightning Bolt 4 Shard Volley 4 Skullcrack 3 Searing Blaze 4 Rift Bolt...

Took a fetchless list for a spin today. Two maindeck Rains are a perfectly good choice. Khaos, why do you side out all the Eidolons vs creature decks? I keep at least two and stick them when my opponent’s at <10 life and out of guys. Also, Guttural Response is amazing versus anything blue. It works ...

Board in Molten Rains and artifact hate against Ad Nauseam. Hope they don't play a T0 Leyline.

Blood Moon does next to nothing, they've got their Lotuses and Prisms.

Gotta test more pump and less guys. Won’t go below 17 Mountains though, I've had a few nasty mulligans to 4.

@Aodh: http://diestoremoval.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=139429#p139429 + 4 Ashleys which you left behind. You can certainly play around board wipes which don't leave a fat body behind. Mono-black and UW are not as awful as you can think. Loyalist vs Pack Rat interaction is totally fun. I've got a few...

Two Game Days down. 1st in 17-man, 2nd in 12-man. RG midrange owned me hard, Polukranos totally wrecked the board.

Took the 17-land list for a spin yesterday, went 4–1. Deck’s a real deal.

Wins: RG monsters, UW control ×2, White aggro.
Loss: Blue devotion (G1 mulligan to 4, G2 couldn’t draw the Loyalist for the alpha strike).

Damnation ?

Too slow compared to Infest. Also, kills the Vatmommies.

Infest and Duress are safe choices, the rest depends on your meta. My sideboard is a couple posts above.

Shadow of Doubt is amazing, I should really play 2 or 3. It owns Scapeshift and Tron so hard.

Why the Spellskites? Mr. Crusader already dodges Bolts and Paths.

I've tried the bombs, they're slow and narrow. Infest is more useful in general and there's always Illness in the Ranks if tokens bother you.

Chalice hurts me as much as it hurts them. I've got must-playables at CMC 1 through 4.

Every aggro deck that can get out of gates before I stabilize can spell trouble. The worst matchup is definitely Affinity. They're too fast, 3 of my kill spells are dead against them, Wrench Mind's not effective. Best matchup? Combo, I guess. They're basically forced into topdeck mode while I slowly...

I'm a long-time lurker. Hi!

My sideboard:
4 Infest
4 Duress
4 Faerie Macabre
2 Surgical Extraction
1 Pithing Needle (just because)

Some guys swear by Vampire Nighthawk against aggro. Ain't good, he just eats a bolt. Some play Lashwrithe, which is way too slow.

I play this deck. Sign in Blood should be [card]Night's Whisper[/card]. The corner case is irrelevant anyway and the mana cost is much easier. I like this manabase better: 2 Howltooth Hollow 1 Cathedral of War 1 Bojuka Bog 4 Inkmoth Nexus 12 Swamp 2 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth Pikes should NOT come out...
