Gettingto play a league affinity from when skullclamp was a thing is the dream. o much nostalgia

So very broken.

Sweet - If I tempted to do the same I'll be out of tix in 1-2 months tops.

GAAAAAAH~

Like a fool I was holding onto my chest but they went from 2.6 into 2.4 T_T (thus I caved and sold them).

I've always prefered Spellbomb to Forewalker but I think I'm the only person in the world thst does! :) Spellbomb is quite good, it hits a large ranges of targets: Mirror (anti-Kor tech), Robots, Merfolk, UB Infect and Control/Tempo. - - - I'm just thinking about upping the Palm count since its gre...

I like this 75 :) I may have to start playing Modern Leagues! :) Watch next weeks video on Friday (your Thursday) I will be playing with Nathaniel Knox - 7th place GP Vancouver Burn list then. Right now I think the relic is slightly overrated, I still dislike Kor Firewalker and I'm concerned about ...

Hi all - I'm currently working on Whole/Donald's Rakdos Burn list: [deck=Whole's Rakdos Burn]Lands 19 2 Blood Crypt 2 Mountain 1 Stomping Ground 2 Scalding Tarn 2 Arid Mesa 4 Bloodstained Mire 2 Blackcleave Cliffs 4 Wooded Foothills Creatures 17 4 Goblin Guide 4 Monastery Swiftspear 4 Vexing Devil ...

Seem like you can't really build bank with friendly leagues anymore T_T.

magicdownunder

Woah... lots of videos to watch!

Do you like Kaladesh limited so far?

magicdownunder

No sadly - I havn't updated MTGO in since Moon was legal in paper (I will update it soon when I have time and work on a list).

I do think Thermo-Alchemist is really good though (I don't think its horrid in any MU really).

magicdownunder

I think flooding is less of an issue with current red builds mainly due to Insolent Neonate and Collective Defiance, where as missing land no.3-4 is a near death sentence.

- - -

I think RU is the best color combo for "burn" - MonoR is better for that creature focus.

magicdownunder

No love for Thermo-Alchemist? It seem solid in this creature heavy meta.

I also think Burn needs 23 lands - mainly due to all the 3cc spells

magicdownunder

why Goblin Glory Chaser over Bellstriker?

magicdownunder

I usually just upload videos on youtube (I'll love to watch them if you have the time to do that).

- - -

I still havn't brought any cards yet but my friends are testing Secret Burn with poor results vs Ramp and Control (something which I think should of been obv.).

magicdownunder

Is Bedlam Reveler the real deal? It doesn't really look like something you want to many copies of since its discard clause is quite bad for a list packing so many 3cc spells and low land counts.

magicdownunder

How do you think Thunderbreak is positioned? I fear for it being Spell Queller-ed for maximum tempo loss...

Its fine - that argument is like saying we shouldn't run Collective Defiance or Exquisite Firecraft due to [card]Dromoka's Command[/card].

magicdownunder

I don't think its necessary to splash yet - we still have tons of powerful haste options (Goldnight Castigator is still a very powerful card, its easier to MD now as well with Insolent Neonate and Collective Defiance compensating for when its dead).

magicdownunder

Aya... in theory new Lilly is going to making deck build difficult for me - I use to always jam 2/2 creatures in my builds to counter control but it doesn't seem as viable anymore. Lilly really does make many of our old cards rather weak, though Dash is still strong at least. I kinda want to play mi...

magicdownunder

Sea Gate Wreckage seems like an odd choice considering the fact that you need colourless mana to activate its ability.

magicdownunder

Thanks for the video kait - I still misclick myself (hell I once skipped a turn and lost the game as a result).

magicdownunder

I view Fiery Temper as a 3cc spell which is sometimes 1cc so if I was was to run firecraft it would be over them (that said I'm still on Roar and having an instant speed removal MD is very important for mainlands). - - - I'm also rather keen on Bedlam Reveler since I think its pretty much an upgrade...

magicdownunder

UR Emerge looks just like Wordbuilder or Eldrazi control in the pre-Moon meta (except with less counters). It should be fine as long as your not on the heavy aggro route (which seems just as bad as it did pre-Moon)) - - - I think Red Players seem to be underrating Exquisite Firecraft , 4 damage to t...

magicdownunder

Mirrorwing Dragon is really good just for being 4/5 (dodges most sweepers) - his other abilities are just pudding (though its quite godly vs midrange). - - - When I say Searing Effects I meant cards which deal with creatures and deal damage at the same time so Roar + Defiance. I also agree that Han...

magicdownunder

I don't play paper magic so I wont really be brewing until 2 or more weeks when it hits online - - - Lots of people seem to be brewing Loot Burn variants on MTGS, it does seem decent but I fear for its effectiveness in meta with MD'able lifegain effects. - - - 8x Searing Effects dramatically improve...

magicdownunder

Ok, I'll admit WOTC did good this set

I'm very happy with the current Red cards - lets me play grindy Rx max (which is my favorite type of R style - I'm hugely bias toward PyroRed type builds).

P.S. Bedlam is good in Rx Aggro/Grind - its not good in Midrange or going big.

magicdownunder

I'm not really sold on Falkenrath Gorger , Zurgo Bellstriker or Stromkirk Occultist in a W dominated format. If I was to play Rx Aggro - I would still pretty much run my old build except with the new incinerate. - - - I do however think Big Red is looking better now with the new Mirrorwing Dragon + ...

We finally have 2c 3dmg burn and it EXILE stuff (this pleases me).

magicdownunder

Yep - I'm still holding out some hope, RB midrange is shaping up well though (I dislike midrange...).

EDIT: We got a new 3cc sorc speed Lightning Bolt and its a rare....

magicdownunder

Still no burns or decent 1-2 drops, Wx Midrange looks more powerful now.

I might skip this season's standard.

magicdownunder

Last but not least a word of warning: In my view, what this season's Red Deck deck does well is to be able to play a bit of a longer game thanks to good value creatures and a serious removal package. What it lacks is the ability to simply run your opponent over - and in that sense it's very differe...

magicdownunder

Not sure that 3-drop is good enough for W aggro. EDIT: I saw the new instant and angel... yeah it doesn't look good for "burn" so its going to be another creature heavy meta. EDIT2: Wr Human looks EVEN BETTER - nothing great for madness or red aggro (though looking at the new mechanics I t...

magicdownunder

I think the MonoR Midrange list is very inconsistency and will almost always lose to control and ramp, the deck creator mentions that he gets around this by dealing 5-12 damage with Lightning Berserker then finishing the game with burns but honestly if those decks kept hands which allow you to conne...

magicdownunder

Wx is quite rough (even for the MonoR builds) I tend to lose R1 and (try to) win R2 + R3 - you can fix this MU by adding more cheap removals MD though this will weaken the other MU.

magicdownunder

Village Messenger is decent vs Wr Humans, Ramp, Midrange, Tempo, Mill and Control - its sometimes ok vs Coco and Token (but mostly trash), I still like it as 1-drop 9-12 but it depends on your meta I guess (if your seeing lots of Coco, Midrange and Token you might be better of with Whisperer or Cha...

magicdownunder

Nice~

I'm really bias toward the Dragon+Roar Combo so I would just cut the Dragons from your list and add more lands (+2) and GDD (+2) - that said I havn't done any testing so I don't know if that is good or not.

magicdownunder

Yeah... I actually didn't know that until late into the season T_T (I worked it out towards the end when UR Eldrazi got more pop. though). - - - How did your leagues go Dauntless (I do think 4x Looming is a bit much in 22 land deck). P.S. Anyone here interested in Modern Burn (I might start another ...

magicdownunder

Ahhh~ If your focusing on GW Token - I recommend UR Fliers :D In MonoR I had success with: [deck=MDU's R Aggro] Lands 24 20 Mountain 4 Looming Spires Creatures 22 4 Village Messenger 4 Insolent Neonate 4 Lightning Berserker 4 Thunderbreak Regent 3 Goldnight Castigator 3 Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh Spe...

magicdownunder

Looks quite good (Messanger is horrid vs the top3) except I'll go for either Chandra, Extra removal or Dragon Whisperer over Shaman (menace isn't as powerful vs those deck, though CA is important vs Aggro and Bant - Whisperer usefulness is more consistence) - I don't like GDD for the same reason rea...

magicdownunder

Firstly - I highly recommend cutting Scab-Clan Berserker , it can be good but that window of usefulness is much to narrow. I'm not 100% sold on Avaricious Dragon (mainly because its a horrid early/midgame draw) but its def. great with an empty hand - aside from that it looks like your deck is geared...

magicdownunder

@MrPonsen: Can you post your current 75? I like Whisperers as well for the most part, it acts like superior LB (without the haste) until you hit 5+ lands.

magicdownunder

@Stuffydollfan: Yeah I think Lightning Axe or some creatures could be cut for Tormenting Voice 3-4 MD - if we do cut a creature it has to be between the Red Vampires... @Dauntless268: Considering the the two top decks right now are Bant and GW it may not be the worst idea to stack your deck MD to be...
