After rereading the last couple pages, i thought I'd just say that, for better or for worse, I'm glad you guys are in my life.

No homo.

As a homo I find this comment offensive.

I'm an asexual polyamorous triggerkin and you've neglected my preferred pronouns. Rapist!

Postby **Stardust** » Thu Mar 19, 2015 9:26 pm

... Is triggerkin your gender or your sex? How can you be a triggerkin and asexual at the same time?

Why can't it be both? The struggle is real!

Stole this from some guy on le reddit since it was the only one of their garbage brews that looked like it had potential. Before I told him his vs monored matchup was poop he had banishing light instead of devouring light. I don't think I agree

0/10. My bant deck was bad and this is bad for similar reasons only exacerbated. All good cards with no curve. Like, what do you do if they play a turn 2 fleecemane lion?

TBuzzsaw · Postby **TBuzzsaw** » Thu Mar 19, 2015 11:58 pm

On the subject of deck building, LP, what do you think of the Temur Midrange brew I posted a while back?

[deck]Creatures
3 Stormbreath Dragon
4 Thunderbreak Regent
4 Savage Knuckleblade
3 Courser of Kruphix
3 Heir of the Wilds
4 Sylvan Caryatid

Planeswalkers
3 Sarkhan, Unbroken
2 Xenagos, The Reveler

Spells
1 Outpost Siege
4 Lightning Strike
3 Crater's Claws
2 Roast

24 lands

Sideboard
3 Wild Slash
3 Anger of the Gods
1 Outpost Siege
2 Reclamation Sage
2 Nylea's Disciple
2 Negate
2 Disdainful Stroke[/deck]

Xenagos is my only iffy card in the main. It's only there because I think control is coming back stronger thanks to the new set, and its +1 is nice to have in combination of Stormbreath and Crater's Claws.

LP, of the Fires · Postby **LP, of the Fires** » Fri Mar 20, 2015 12:19 am

I'd play 4 roast, zero lightning strike and consider either stubborn denial or wild slashes main.

I'm also playing atarka in any deck that can reasonably cast it.

zemanjaski · Postby **zemanjaski** » Fri Mar 20, 2015 12:24 am

Roast is real (in modern too!).

zemanjaski · Postby **zemanjaski** » Fri Mar 20, 2015 12:24 am

Does anyone have any exp with the Grixis Pyromancer control deck in legacy? It seems really sweet.

zemanjaski · Postby **zemanjaski** » Fri Mar 20, 2015 12:26 am

Like it plays many of my favourite cards (Brainstorm, Dig Through Time, Jace, Pyromancer) but it could easily be more cute and self indulgent than good.

LP, of the Fires · Postby **LP, of the Fires** » Fri Mar 20, 2015 12:27 am

What's wrong with cute and self-indulgent?

TBuzzsaw · Postby **TBuzzsaw** » Fri Mar 20, 2015 12:30 am

Really zero copies of Lightning Strike? I understand the reasoning for Wild Slash to possibly replace it in the main, but I like the three damage in case of Fleecemane, Mantis, and Seeker. I was thinking if Stubborn Denial was worth it or not considering I only have 11 cards that enable it, 14 if you count Sarkhan.

Atarka was also in the maybe pile. Didn't know if I wanted something that cost that much, but with Xenagos and Sarkhan it should be okay.

zemanjaski · Postby **zemanjaski** » Fri Mar 20, 2015 12:30 am

I guess I an a casual now, so probably nothing

LP, of the Fires · Postby **LP, of the Fires** » Fri Mar 20, 2015 12:31 am

Roast covers most of what strike does and your cheap creatures get through or hold off everything outside of mantis rider that you'd want to strike.

LP, of the Fires · Postby **LP, of the Fires** » Fri Mar 20, 2015 12:32 am

I was gonna say something about women who are cute and self indulgent, but my feeligns are mixed.

Looks better, couldn't fit in Atarka.

I can't help but think Outpost Siege is worse now that it has more copies of counters, but I guess it can just be used for its other mode too against control.

hamfactorial · Postby **hamfactorial** » Fri Mar 20, 2015 12:50 am

Roast is good in Modern?

I haven't tested it, but it got me hot and bothered when it was spoiled. Almost no need to splash black for Terminate now, unless Twin takes over in a serious way.

zemanjaski · Postby **zemanjaski** » Fri Mar 20, 2015 1:01 am

Well, blue-red decks have struggled with Tarmogoyf and more recently Tasigur/Rhino; having a clean two mana answer that combines well with Snapcaster is much appreciated.

hamfactorial · Postby **hamfactorial** » Fri Mar 20, 2015 1:14 am

I'll certainly try it out, the old "hope they attack into my first striker + Lightning Bolt" plan doesn't work as often as I'd like.

Valdarith · Postby **Valdarith** » Fri Mar 20, 2015 1:14 am

UR Delver always had problems against green decks and Flame Slash didn't always take care of Tarmogoyf. Roast will usually kill it and Rhino, so I can see the appeal for Modern.

zemanjaski · Postby **zemanjaski** » Fri Mar 20, 2015 1:19 am

It's not major, but it's better than what we had before. Efficient removal and cheap counters plus card draw is very powerful in modern right now; I don't think you want to be on Delver-esque strategies, but there's definitely a functional control deck to be explored.

LP, of the Fires · Postby **LP, of the Fires** » Fri Mar 20, 2015 1:26 am

the idea of playing control in modern makes me want to vomit.

LP, of the Fires · Postby **LP, of the Fires** » Fri Mar 20, 2015 1:27 am

I'd much rather play combo decks that lose to singular cards.
