Dies to Removal

If you can access the cards just play twin.

Alex, you traveling to TN or GA for any ptqs?

No, but I'll be in Orlando for the GP.

There's a modern PTQ here in Greensboro in the coming weeks but I'm going to be working.

If you can access the cards just play twin.

Not sure I can, but the deck doesn't really appeal to me anyway.

Fair enough; if you're going to play the format long term you need to find a deck you like.

Is there a viable dega build?

Madding is such a wannabe FOS member.

We're all scrumps underneath our C-grade trolling.

C grade is the average I assume? For most gutter members it's much lower than that.

I 4-0'd a Modern "FNM" tonight with Heals' RDW list, beating UWR Twin, Zoo, Jund, and Hate Bears. This deck is perfect for me. Maindecking 4 Molten Rain should just be illegal.

I think I gained about 20 life against Zoo tonight. Oh the lolz.

Scrumpers gonna scrump.

Could something like this work? (just a draft, sorry it's bad)

Mind sharing the list?

Spam is B+ at least.

Remember when Spam totes wasnt Scrumper?

I played a 3/1 split on Lava Man and Figure of Density (misspelled on purpose). I also used every card tonight in the 75. I fucking love it.

Here's Heals' deck tech. It will explain everything you need to know.

This is the stock list. If you aren't worried about burn/red decks and want a better pod matchup, change the dragon claws to pillar of flames. I've also ran 1 figure of destiny over a grim lavamancer and was a fan of that change. Overall though, the deck is a work of art.

Fuck shit dammnit Khaos

Well, I forgot the keldon megaliths when I posted which is my favorite card in the deck so I guess no harm done.

I have most of the cards, but I can't bring myself to play / purchase Vexing Devil lol.

Me and Khaos wrote dissertations on why the cards good if that matters to you

I have most of the cards, but I can't bring myself to play / purchase Vexing Devil lol.

You sound like Val did, but LP and I managed to convince him.

Look, do it. Just trust me. This isn't Standard and it's not last year's Modern. Vexing Devil has a place and it's in this deck.

Don't be a bitch.

Dammit, LP!

LP - Claw did some fucking heavy lifting tonight against Zoo. Un-fucking-real, man.

I'll try to test it.

Spurn or spurn not. There is no try.

Bangarang

I wonder if something like this is playable:

4 Delver
4 Snapcaster
2 Clique

2 Shackles

Removal: bolt x 4, plus a mix burst lightning, pillar of flame and/or electrolyze
Counters: cryptic, remand, mana leak, spell snare

Add serum visions and 22 land.

I guess that's basically UR Faeries playing Shackles. It's unclear to me if that's good or not, but I like that you're not running cards with downside.

I have most of the cards, but I can't bring myself to play / purchase Vexing Devil lol.

I play Mono Black Infect because auto-wins against UWR Control is fun when it's 70% of my meta.

T1 Thoughtseize/Inquisition T2 Wrenched Mind T3 Liliana/Phyrexian Crusader = lol

Yep, I'm not a Vexing Devil fan by any means, and it took a lot of reflection on my part, but this RDW shell is actually the perfect spot for him.

The only card I have real reservations about are the two Shrine; Megaliths and Fanatic are particularly clever re-inclusions.

Also molten rain is gas.

The Shrines have been amazing for me Z. As far as I know LP and Khaos really like 'em too

Excellent.

I will never stop playing Snapcaster Mage until it's banned.

I enjoy going Bolt/Snap/Bolt with the greatest of skill.

Shrine of Burning Rage is amazing. Every good Modern deck has to be capable of snagging free wins from time to time. Shrine does this. For some decks, it's simply GG once it lands.

I'm a snap plus cryptic kinda guy.

I disgust myself.
