DAD LOST MY IPOD posted:Legacy Burn decks that splash black for Bump in the Night might choose Tyrant's Choice as a one-sided Flame Rift? Council's Judgement answers TNN. A lot of the reprints are extremely legacy-relevant cards. Notably, this is only the second possible way to get a foil Brainstorm aside from a no-longer-available promo. Mercadian Masques had foils...

AnacondaHL posted:Just keep playing Canadian Threshold, now known as RUG Delver, assuming you already have the goyfs, forces, and manabase. It's still an inexplicably solid deck that wins tournaments. Disruption plus efficient beaters that are hard to kill combined with lots of filtering make for a very consistent deck. I don't think it's that inexplicable.

The Zendikar fetches are good, he means those should be the only things you might need to pick up that are pricey.

L0cke17 posted:I would, but they cost too much. Plus I don't use them very often. The 12 lands cost me $2.50 at a con. Usually I just loan them out when modern PTQ season is around to friends who don't have them. $12 for a playset of Antiquities Urza's Towers is too much? In a deck that runs Grove of the Burnwillows, Karn, and Emrakul?

Valicious posted:Can someone point me to some recent write-ups and lists for Modern Affinity? I have the deck built, been testing it a bit, but I feel like I'm missing something. It just isn't fast. What is your 75? What do you consider 'fast'?

Valicious posted:I side out champions and side in spellskites. It sucks that I can't redirect all 18 damage with a single Spellskite activation rather than 6 activations, but losing 12 is better than 18 I guess. You should also be siding in Blood Moon. They actually can't kill you under a Blood Moon unless they are running titans.

I don't like the Archangel/Spike Feeder combo, personally. I run basically your main 60 but minus those two cards, plus Pontiff and a 3rd Voice. -1 Thicket, +1 Marsh Flats. I agree with the other sideboard suggestions. Also, don't run Creeping Corrosion.

En Fuego posted:Why not corrosion? Creeping Corrosion kills your Pods and Spellskite, can't be tutored for, is a singleton, and costs FOUR. I'd run another Quasali Pridemage if you need another artifact hate card. But against Affinity, Kataki, the MD hate cards, Harmonic Sliver, and Dismember should be enough. YMMV though.

You wait until the Storm copies are on the stack, then respond with MBT to exile all of them and the original.

mcmagic posted:And it takes their count down to zero? Storm count actually goes up by one from you casting the Trap, but all of their extra copies (and the original) are valid targets for you to exile.

Everblight posted:I took the thread's advice and removed the Hurkyl's for an even 1/1/1 of Shattering Spree, Shatterstorm and Wear/Tear. I just can't give up that instant-speed goodness that Wear/Tear brings to the table, since all-in on an Inkmoth Nexus is just too much. I am curious, though, how exactly Shattering Spree gets around Spell Pierce... did it get errata'd to be a creature spell while I was out? Or does Replicate work like storm where they have to counter each one? The Replicate copies aren't countered.

PhyrexianLibrarian posted:What I did: Keep the hand, T1 Flooded Strand, fetch Volcanic Island, Delver, pass turn. That seems fine. It's definitely the aggressive play line and you only really get punished for it if they have the Wasteland. That's pretty good odds in your favor.

technolizard posted:Looking for some advice. I'm borrowing a friend's storm deck to play my first modern event at my LGS. The deck is pretty much complete, but the sideboard is a little lacking. Can anyone suggest some good sideboard cards for storm? Any general advice on storm is welcome too. Here you go.
