--- Dies To Removal --- MTGO Clan

I think Pod is a great deck, probably the best Plan B out of the bunch (attack with dudes). If I had to go with a tier 1 deck for a tourney I'd look there first, Tempo Twin second, Affinity third with some Blood Moon in the SB to hose Tron and Jund.

[Pedros]

What do you guys think about this green devotion in Modern?

It looks so sweet.

[imopen2]

List?

[Kaitscralt]

I watched the ShipItHolla vids trying green Devotion in Modern, wasn't impressed.

[imopen2]

It's weird cause I was actually daydreaming about a possible mono green devotion deck at work yesterday. I doubt it is that great in modern but I'd still like to see a list.

In other news, the liliana's I bought for $50 last month are now selling for $80. I kinda want to sell them but I also want to keep them since I haven't decided which modern deck to play at GP Minneapolis yet...

[Kaitscralt]

i just wheeled a favored hoplite

what the fuck is wrong with people

[Kaitscralt]

sadly the foil ashiok i opened landed me into an only okay UB deck

[Kaitscralt]

although passing all that white seems to have made pack 3 salvageable

[Kaitscralt]

i am sick of drafting this shit. i better get my last qp right now.

[imopen2]

I got a foil ashiok a couple weeks ago. And a dragon as well /sweet brags

I still love the format, but I'm getting pretty tired of going 1-2 with sealed pools that look really solid. I really hope I just open an elspeth and be done with it tonight

[Kaitscralt]

lost game 1 to someone with 2 griffins and a satyr piper in play.

i hate my life.

[Kaitscralt]

won game 2 off a big gary drain.

guy had 2 satyr pipers in play when he died

[Kaitscralt]

game 3 hand has turn 2 returned phalax turn 3 ashiok

let's see if he can beat it

[Kaitscralt]

rofl he drops turn 3 polukranos

[Kaitscralt]

you can't make this stuff up

[Kaitscralt]

i'm done

[Kaitscralt]

my god i beat him

[Kaitscralt]

i should have known by all the satyr pipers and 3/2 griffins that he wouldn't know how to win off a turn 3 polukranos

[Kaitscralt]

kept chumping the 9/9 hydra until ashiok gave me a free 6/5 fox, then i made it an 8/7 flyer the same turn.

[Kaitscralt]

round 2 game 1

griptide a grey merchant then steal it with ashiok

on to game 2

[imopen2]

That's sexy

[Kaitscralt]

especially cuz i had a grey merchant in play myself

[Kaitscralt]

lol

my finals opponent just said i win then conceded the match, he must have had to go or something

how anti-climatic

[hamfactorial]

He may be following this thread and knew about your Garys

[Kaitscralt]

this clan thread has done me a great favor. now i have just one place to narrate my limited events to all the people who don't care.

[Kaitscralt]

well there i qualified for season 2. i guess i can finally stop playing limited til BNG.

[Kaitscralt]

i win my first draft every day. i should stop after that.

[hamfactorial]

Why aren't these riveting blow-by-blow match reports being sent out on Twitter?

[magicdownunder]

You should grind for MOCS3 on the Jan 29 - Feb 26 the format is limited and the card is battleskull (alt art).

[Kaitscralt]

I will.

[Kaitscralt]

here is my 5-0 sealed pool. http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Digital/Ma ... rn/6622086

as you can see, i put 11 forests in my sideboard, i switched to a BG deck after every game. i submitted the wrong deck initially.

[magicdownunder]

I have about 700 Tickets lying around from my wins (I would have more if I sell my MOCS promos), I'm willing to spend 500 Tickets (I already have most Modern lands and some often used expensive cards) I got about 3/4 months till MOCS4 (so I have all the time in the world to get ready and learn how to play the build) what is the best modern deck which 500 tickets can buy?

[Kaitscralt]

give me your tickets

[imopen2]

Probably pod. The problem I'm having with modern is that there is no "best deck" and the format is so expensive that I don't want to invest in the wrong one. Another issue is that BRG is coming out shortly and there is a B/R update soon as well that may have impacts on the meta...

[imopen2]

I went 3-2 in both qualifiers last night x_x

I had a whip and the 6/6 that makes 1/1 fliers in the first one and the gorgan hydra and ashiok in the second. 0 gray merchants tho...

[Pedros]

Played UW control on premier event. Lost 3 times to stormbreath dragon, destroyed everything else (2x black 2x mono u 2-0 and it was quite easy)

How to destroy dragon (sometimes you dont have counterspell or verdict... or elspeth - lol quite a lot) just play esper for solid removal?

[magicdownunder]

Have you tried Celestial Flare and/or Ratchet Bomb? If your happy with beating Ux and Bx isn't is ok to accept that Rx is a bad MU?

[Kaitscralt]

I run 2 Flare and try not to waste them early versus red decks.
