I need 2 more copies of Price of Progress to finish off my first Legacy deck. (If you guessed that it's Burn, you're right!) Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated!

Topic: [W] Small Burn things [H] Tradelist (0 replies, posted in Reddit MTG Trades)

I stand in need of the following things for Modern Burn:
4 Searing Blaze
2 Shard Volley
2 Skullcrack

In addition, I could definitely make use of a couple more red fetches from KTK (i.e. Bloodstained Mire, Wooded Foothills).

Feel free to browse my tradelist and hit me up with offers!

Title says it all. I have a playset of Ensnaring Bridges from 7th Edition, and I'm growing weary of people questioning their Modern legality. I'd like to turn them into 8th Edition versions, if I can!

I've always enjoyed Pack Rat. Not quite exempt from the 4-of restriction, but still manages to circumvent it in its own way.

Not being a modern player for the most part I can't really say too much other than that you definitely need a way to beat Abzan. I could also see where Smallpox might be worth looking at putting in there.
I can also say that Waste Not is a trap. I can see where it would work in Legacy with Dark Ritual at your disposal, but in modern (and standard for that matter) it just doesn't get the job done. Without the perfect mix of cards it just doesn't do much for you and you end up having to try to replenish your hand AND the opponent's hand at the same time to generate any benefit off of it. To that end, if you do decide to run it, Burning Inquisition, Reforge the Soul, and things of that nature are what you're looking for (because they trigger the discard but also end up replenishing the opponent's hand. It's actually pretty weird that for Waste Not to work you actually WANT the opponent to have cards in hand - once they're in top-deck mode, it card is just a waste of space.

You raise some valid points here. I'm not too familiar with Abzan in the post-Pod scene, so would you be willing to tell me a bit more about it? As for Waste Not, I'm inclined to agree. I feel like Pack Rat fills the slot better.

Re: [Modern] 8 Rack Updates (4 replies, posted in Decks and Deckbuilding)

In addition, I'm a bit concerned about my sideboard. I have 4 Darkblast for dealing with small dudes, 4 Surgical Extraction for crippling combo decks and others that rely on sweet synergies, 4 Leyline of Sanctity for slowing down decks like Burn that send spells at the dome, and 3 Pithing Needle primarily to slow Tron down by naming Oblivion Stone and Karn Liberated. But I've heard of people running things like Nyxathid for reasons I don't quite understand and Syphon Life to give a little resilience against super-fast decks. I'm wondering what the community thinks would make for a good 8 Rack sideboard when going into an unknown meta.

Topic: [Modern] 8 Rack Updates (4 replies, posted in Decks and Deckbuilding)

So I've been playing around with this build for a while (https://deckbox.org/sets/804453), and I'm pleased with it so far. The goal is to strip one's opponent of their hand, then punish them for not having a hand. I'm thinking about taking it to my local gaming shop for one of their weekly Modern events. The trouble is, I haven't had the time to familiarize myself with Khans or Fate Reforged. I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions regarding cards from those sets that I can experiment with, or cards I should watch out for. I'll be going into a largely unfamiliar meta, since the last time I was at this shop was when Birthing Pod and Treasure Cruise were still Modern-legal.

I like to have an opening hand that includes a Swamp or two, a Thoughtseize and/or an Inquisition of Kozilek or two, possibly a Wrench Mind, and maybe a Liliana of the Veil. The remaining slots in that opening hand are somewhat flexible. Typically the plan is to discard my opponent's turn 1 and turn 2 plays to the best of my ability, then slam an Ensnaring Bridge and sit back while I go to work with either Liliana of the Veil or the soft lock of Raven's Crime+Dakmor Salvage. Somewhere along the way I hit one or two copies of The Rack and/or Shrieking Affliction and watch my opponent squirm. In a pinch, though, I can go all-in on making tons of Pack Rats and try to steal the game.

So the question is: have I overlooked anything from Khans or from Fate Reforged? Or, for that matter, any other set? I've been wanting to try Waste Not, but I've heard very mixed reviews.

Re: Need input from everyone (32 replies, posted in Site Discussion)

I'd like to point out that the poll at the top of this thread is somewhat misleading. In order to make an informed vote, the potential voter needs a bit more context than just the prompt provided. In my case, I need to know the specific circumstances of the lost mail. Granted, this thread came to be in light of a BTR involving our colleague Wally; that having been said, the prompt is phrased too generally and does not reflect the circumstances of that BTR.

You can tag cards so it's easier for others to see exactly what you're looking for. It's especially helpful if other users are more familiar with a card's art than they are with its name.
