(I really want her for my mono-black zombie deck)

>What sort of basics do you use in your decks?
I was actually gonna ask about this. I usually use whatever mismatching draft box stuff I have but I'm thinking about matching basics. What basic Plains should I use in my Martyr Proc deck? I'm thinking the Shards of Alara desert one, but I also like the Guay lands
>>
>>56854250
the lands from mirage are prety good
>>
>>56854164
I can't find any fun deck to play however. No tier deck feels good to me.

Doesn't matter anyways because I can't afford Modern decks.

Restore Balance with no cascaders. So far it's sub-par but Ancestral Vision is nice.

I use Odyssey basics, they're pretty nice

I know i might get called a faggot, but i think some of the Kaladesh basics are pretty sweet. I use this one in every blue deck i have. I also like Esper plains, and the Zendikar penis mountain.

The art on some of the newer lands is nice but the M15 border is inexcusable

It's pretty good. Kitesail Freebooter and Meddling mage give it a lot of interaction while still having a strong clock

That art is great but in general I've been underwhelmed with the art on new cards.

Art is actually one of the things I really like about Unstable, they gave the artists a little longer leash to do interesting things instead of the forced synthetic CG dogshit they've been heaping on lately.

2poor4modern buddy unless you can find me a good 100$ or lower deck.
>>
>>56857987
Instant speed balance on their turn then Nahiri and an empty board on my turn. Blood moon doesn't do shit cause I GQ'd for the forest in response. I just don't see how you're supposed to play balance without these sorts of shenanigans

This, the arts one of the best parts to the game.
>>
>>56858226
Doesn't bring to light scapeshift acomplish this better?
>>
>>56858487
Yeah should probably change that

The goal was to make one of those dankass Titanless Dark Petition Jundshift lists, but with an active Hour of Promise package (and 3 omen to furthur mitigate this)

Hour of Promise w/o deserts always triggered my autism, so I tried for a Scapeshift build that allowed for 3+ deserts by using Omens and forgoing Titan.
>>
>>56858530
Could probably go that route too, I love the idea of a BtL for WURBG with Omen, getting Hour of Promise.

Bring to Light can't get Lilly though, so it's not strictly better!

Any advice to play colorless eldrazi tron?
>>
>>56861039
Google 'how to thoughtseize' and that'll teach you how to use thoughtknot. Then just play lands that should be banned in modern and drop fatties until you win.

Death and Taxes

I'm sure there is some way to make it a good deck in modern.
>>
>>56861691
Modern is to creature based for Taxes anon.
>>
>>56861716
I get that alot. And it's true. It's what kills my dream of both Thalias dominating the format, that and Stoneforge being b& ( she shouldn't be desu, she dies to bolt and black removal like nothing so she isn't a problem asl ong as mother of runes is never printed in a standard set again). Steelshaper's Gift being a sorcery is kind of gay. If recruiter of the guard was modern legal I'd be gold for a prototype since Vryn Wingmare is in there.

You consider running pic related?

could help with creature decks.
>>
>>56861848
Not to be picky but I thought about one of those and 4 mana even with the Vials is kinda steep later game. Modern matches don't last that long. I am headed to the last Unstable draft of the weekend so I'll pick one up anyway to see how it works out with my group before tonight's draft tho.

The deck is in serious beta without tutor in mono white it hard as shit, I may have to go Orzov and put in Dark Confidant, kinda make a hybrid of Dead guy Ale and Taxes. I have most of the stuff for it already but my god without the ability to get out the swords its hard.
>>
>>56861779

If you bolt or push a stoneforge its still a demonic tutor for the correct sword of x and y. It's literally impossible for that card not to be a 2 for 1. The fact that you also get to cheat on mana is just a bonus in modern, the format is way slower than legacy. It's only a fair card in legacy because decks like belcher exist.

Nothing yet, just started working on getting into Modern after a two set vacation from a depressing Standard
>Hating
Looking over all of the builds in the meta... I guess Tron? Just because the way that deck works I can only think about a few obnoxious at an old LGS drooling over that deck and the smarmy, punchable looks they would have whenever they manage to slap down Karn.
>Brewing
Working towards Grixis Delver/Shadow, Jeskai Control, Temur Prowess and Naya Burn. Ordered most of the staples in the last week (Whoever in the last thread pointed out the massive price drop in Cryptic Command, Ancestral Vision and Thoughtseize, thank you for pointing that out) and I'm waiting on earning a perfect attendance bonus from work before ordering the Snapcasters. Then the Fetches will be ordered in January/February at some point.

I like the idea, but you would need to suck it up and put in sorcerys like steelshapers gift like you said before. Sorry.

>>56862120

Also if you plan to run Magus in the side against tron you better splash a blood crypt and go mardu colors.
>>
>>56858302

There a pretty of turn 2 turn 3 win decks in modern that cost less then 100 bucks. You might not win a GP but you can clean house at your local store.
