Why is Young Pyromancer always conspicuously absent from these lists? Also, has anyone else considered Delver, Jeskai Ascendancy, Stoke the Flames? (or maybe Delverless with just Pyromancers and maybe Fatestitchers...wait, that's a Legacy deck)

Nezeru

Why is Darkblast a problem? I just wrecked a Dredgevine player rocking Darkblasts, it killed a few creatures, but I just flooded the table and got there through his Darkblast and Gnaw to the Bone tech. G1 I lost because I forgot how Varolz works, and he had Death's Shadow in his graveyard.

Nezeru

I like Shattering Spree best by far. Vandalblast never gets around Chalice even when overloaded.

Nezeru

So, this deck is named after the Delve cards, right? I'll do some Delving with my Modern Delver deck?

Nezeru

This mono blue deck seems very interesting and original, just thought you guys might appreciate it.

Why so many Magma Spray?

Nezeru

Good, I ran Molten Rain over it anyway

Nezeru

I always want to see 2-3 treasure cruises with my list. I'm ready to start testing the Snapcaster dig version more, I suspect 3 is the correct number of Digs.

Swerving Remand to Swerve does NOT give you your Swerve back. It'll be in the graveyard when Remand tries to resolve, and Remand will be countered on resolution. As a permission-light Delver player, the combo matchup is fine. If they don't interact, they're usually dead by turn 4. Taylor Swift kills...

What do you think about Dragon's Claw in the mirror? I understand the card disadvantage aspect of playing the card, and wouldn't dream of bringing in 4 copies, but if I had it in my sideboard and boarded out my Spell Pierces for 2 Dragon's Claws and something relevant, I could see it helping. I just...

Nezeru

Is Burn really bringing in Rain of Gore on the off chance their opponent plays Dragon's Claw? I could see that happening g3, but g2? Molten Rain is an obvious card that has pretty much always been in and out of Delver sideboards. It's good against Tron and Celestial Colonnade decks. I think Dragon's...

Nezeru

Burn isn't too bad, I just have 4 dragon's claw sitting in my sideboard coincidentally.

Nezeru

Why the 2 Flame Slash, 2 Simic Charm, Jace, and more Mana Leak than Remand?

Nezeru

Turn 3 kill fast enough for Modern from a Delver deck?

1-1 in the Daily after playing Burn twice, and I've caved and added Dragon's Claws to the board.

You could sideboard into Twin, but the problem is that Twin and Delver tend to have very similar matchups. Another option is sideboarding into Blue Moon, but the problem is that Blue Moon and Delver tend to have very similar matchups. ...Also, I played against a guy who was playing white strictly fo...

I haven't lost a match yet in testing, just won 2-0 over UWR Kiki, which used to be a terrible matchup (at least, I never did well in it). I'm up to 4 Treasure Cruise maindeck, and casting them turns 3 and 5 is not uncommon. Current list: [deck] Creatures: 14 4 Monastery Swiftspear 4 Delver of Secre...

Ankle Shanker is way better against green decks with Hornet Queen, and in an aggressive list with no sac outlets. Here's the core of my list, though it changes almost daily: [deck] Creatures: 19 4 Bloodsoaked Champion 4 Chief of the Edge 4 Goblin Rabblemaster 4 Butcher of the Horde 2 Stormbreath Dra...

Nezeru

This deck is absurd now. Treasure Cruise is terrible against blue Tron, but that was already unfavorable and not popular, so hopefully becoming favored against two bad matchups is worth losing points to a fringe deck. I tested against Jund a lot over the weekend and won every single match. It wasn't...

Nezeru

I've had great results with an Aggro-Midrange hybrid containing Bloodsoaked Champions, Chief of the Edge, Rabblemaster, Butcher, one Ankle Shanker to crush everything green, two Sarkhan, two Stormbreath, three Sorin, four Crackling Doom, and some flex spots. I've been testing singletons of Spear of ...

Just lost 0-2 to Br devo. Double demon gray merchant g1, triple merchant g2. Also got rakdos's returned. At two points in g2 I had him at 1, and if I drew a Mana Confluence or burn on the last turn after the 3rd merchant I would win. He out drew me but I almost could race triple merchant. This burn ...

3-0 in the GP, one bye, won 2-0 Jund Monsters through 2 Nylea's Disciple and 2-0 BW through a t2 Ram, double thoughtseize, sin collector and Duress.

After seeing the GP Chicago grinder metagame today, I actually decided to add 2 Searing Blood because of all of the aggressive red strategies, also at the recommendation of a good Jund Monsters playtest partner who has won an SCG Open with Monsters, an IQ and some other events. It's actually good ag...

Hey, can I get a DtR clan invite? Not sure how clans really work on modo but I think it keeps track of boosters we win or something is that right? I'm testing boros burn for GP Chicago this weekend, but my main moneymaker is Modern with various mono blue decks.

Name on MTGO: cbgirardo

Nezeru

Even with pack prices being this bad, if you aren't making money on modo you're doing something wrong. My constructed rating is under 1800 right now and I have yet to lose tickets across two events.

I'm playing GP Chicago this weekend so I'll be testing a lot.

Sac a Nyx-Fleece Ram or 4

Nezeru

I played against Legacy Burn with my Standard list and won through 2 Eidolon of the Great Revel and a Sulfuric Vortex that stopped me from using Warleader's Helix effectively. This deck is the real deal folks!

Nezeru

Depends on the matchup, if you need to Chain something it's pretty bad I think. Top 8'd a GPT even though I dropped after the 4th round of 5 in Swiss, that's my accomplishment for today. Punted a match because it was paper and I didn't wait for my Searing Blood to resolve before casting another one ...

Nezeru

Eidolon maindeck is very, very good (read: game-winning) vs Dredge, postboard they have more annoying creatures (Mistcutter) so with the typical DtR configuration you probably bring them in but they aren't gamebreaking.

Nezeru

I had come to the same conclusion on Banishing Light vs Glare. I kept Helices in for a bad reason and that's how I used them (to kill Nyx-Fleece Ram after it blocked a Flamespeaker/other guy) but Shocks wouldn't have helped...I also did 8 to the face with 2 of them, which would have taken 4 Shocks. ...

Both Jund Monsters and RG brought in 3 copies of Disciple of Nylea. Played an 8-man today and was frustrated. Won vs Junk Constellation 2-0, Jund Monsters 2-1, and lost to Dredge(what?? I know, lost the bye) 1-2. Mistcutter killed me G2 and double Eidolon draw didn't help g3 because I had only one b...

Hey, I played the YP version today in a GPT and finished in 2nd. My matchups were: Round 1: 2-0 vs Twinflame combo deck (Axebane Guardian + Mnemonic Wall + Twinflame + any damage spell or Opportunity) This was very easy and is not worth mentioning really. Round 2: 2-0 vs Bant Aggro (mono-white aggro...

I still have Revel in my maindeck, and in my local meta it's an all star (lots of Dredge decks that lose to it, lots of control decks that lose to it, fair amount of mirrors where it's fine, gets boarded out for Firedancer against some decks which I'm okay with). 3-1'd FNM today, lost to mono black ...

Won FNM today. Will keep this short because I have a major chess tournament tomorrow: Match 1: 2-0 vs GB Dredge. Eidolon of the Great Revel allowed me to kill him turn 4 on the play. Match 2: 2-0 vs MonoU Devotion. Game 1 Eidolon helped me win, I burned his guys and killed him slowly. Game 2 I let h...

Round 2 vs MonoB Devotion (OniiChan) Game 1 turn 1 Mutavault is met by turn 1 Swamp + Thoughtseize taking my Lightning Strike.

Round 1 vs All-In Red (RRozanski) Won game 1 with tight play and Chandra's Phoenix, making sure to remove the right creatures at the right time and burn the face when I could afford to.

Just signed up for the daily. I haven't updated my MTGO list at all so it's an old build but we'll see how I end up.
