Did I miss something in the full spoiler? Daybreak Coronet and no other auras? Wtf.

The whole set just looks schizophrenic.

Theory with that art is that it was probably slotted into theros somewhere and then just got cut so they just smushed it into MM2

Just looking at the modern masters 2 in relation to Modern masters 1, there is just way more shit that i don't even want to open, regardless of the value of said rare. (yeah draft environment yada yada, i just flat out don't want to open more than half of the rares in the set, even in a casual way.)

MM2 looks like it is trying to push the Modern environment into different directions and give it new toys. It looks like it could be fun in limited, but the cost is too much for the cards that are available.

QR_BBPOST It looks like it could be fun in limited, but the cost is too much for the cards that are available.

Basically my thoughts. If this set had the same MSRP than MM1, it would be perfectly legit, but for wht they are asking for this set, there are definitely a bunch of big cards missing, and too much chaff on the other side

Just missed Day 2 of GP Paris to 6-2 then lost.

reprints = new toys = anthem ?

How many people have even seen some of the cards in MM2? I took a multi year break from Magic and then returned with Scars-Innistrad Standard. I have never seen some of the cards from MM2, and I imagine that many people playing or who are interested in Modern have never seen some of them either. I feel like the internet has stifled a lot of the formats since many people play just the cards that they see in deck lists online.

Not short of opportunities to play and people to work with.

MM2 looks like ass, but a friend of my friend is a stud and printed proxies of the whole set so now there's a MM cube at the store complete with fake foils, multiple copies of every card and shit separated so that we can practice sealed and draft at our leisure.

The downside of all this is that since we can practice, the idiot store owner now scheduled his PPTQ this month as MM2 sealed which is both expensive and awful.

If it was a GPT, I wouldn't care, but as a PPTQ, I'm more then a little annoyed.

I won my modern prePTQ today, 30 people showed up. I will post something more detailed in the burn thread.

There's a reason it's not called the "Used In Recent Memory Gohei"

Yeah, and someone bought my last copy on eBay the night before. Sorry broham.

Has Mark Rosewater ever said anything insightful? I read his article today about nothing. He managed to turn the sentence "We were experimenting with a mechanic we called Borph where you could play a 2/2 morph for 2 instead of 3, but it had a lot of issues so we didn't print such a set." into an essay.

Thrillho · Postby **Thrillho** » Mon May 11, 2015 11:46 pm

He worked for Rosanne.
So, no.

4 Innocent Blood seems a bit much. Otherwise it looks like a classic Zem deck.

zemanjaski · Postby **zemanjaski** » Tue May 12, 2015 2:54 am

At a higher level it's changed very little in two years, though there's a few adjustments to suit the current meta at least

Mcdonalds · Postby **Mcdonalds** » Tue May 12, 2015 5:45 am

feel like Inquisition could be a cabal therapy, although I'd imagine you'd want to play strix in the main if you did that

Mcdonalds · Postby **Mcdonalds** » Tue May 12, 2015 5:47 am

You may want to look into the grixis pyromancer deck although I feel all the deck does is beat miracles and nothing else

zemanjaski · Postby **zemanjaski** » Tue May 12, 2015 6:26 am

Cool will check it out. In not adverse to casting a Pyromancer.

Thrillho · Postby **Thrillho** » Tue May 12, 2015 5:07 pm

I can understand not included most/all of the rare or mythic cards that exist in Modern.
I can understand excluding an entire mechanic that is popular in Modern for making this set not tedious to draft.
I can't understand excluding 20+ commons and uncommons that are all between $1-10 that have had 0 non-promo, non-duel deck reprints and are essential cards in the archetypes they're in.

We just needed third reprints of Myr Enforcer, Frogmite, and (fourth reprints of) Tribal Flames. We just couldn't get enough.

Thrillho apparently enjoys talking to himself about the injustices of the creators of a children's card game.

Thrillho · Postby **Thrillho** » Tue May 12, 2015 7:27 pm

Would you rather play a game where more people can play or less people can play?
If the former, Modern Masters 2015 is kind of a big deal because it was designed and released as a set to draft but also make it so players have easier access to Modern-legal cards. But then fails to do so on several levels.
If the latter, suck my dick I have 4 foil Force of Will, you cannot play the game at the level I do in my swimming pool of foil staples and should choke to death on your non-foil, mass produced trash.

On the real, every time I look at the MM2015 spoiler I find more and new cards missing that are fundamental in the Modern format and I think that sucks because paying $10 for garbage from Fifth Dawn is the absolute nut low. By all means go back to commenting on Zem's number of Innocent Blood, that talk has me all hot and bothered. I'm absolutely enthralled.

Thrillho · Postby **Thrillho** » Tue May 12, 2015 7:29 pm

Zem, how many innocent blood should there be in MM15?

Col. Khaddafi · Postby **Col. Khaddafi** » Tue May 12, 2015 7:41 pm

Cole, everytime I hear you brag about your foil force of wills, I feel so bad that you spent four figures to get some such an uninspired art when you could have literally had a fucking awesome looking one for 1/10th of their price
