I can't see a link to a deck list, am I missing it or is it not listed?

I've got a silverblade and alot of the commons/uncommons you seem to need, I'm interested in a blood crypt if you see anything that can get there, I'm not trading lands out of inventory but I might trade other stuff

From your point of view, can Bruna still maintain viability in multiplayer matches? I've been looking at other generals I could swap in, based on the cards I already have. My thoughts are:
Grand Arbiter Augustin IV
Geist of Saint Traft
Gwafa, the Profiteer
Zur the Enchanter

Bruna's ok as a commander, but she's really expensive and doesn't have any kind of protection from kill spells, GoST is pretty good because of hexproof but to be honest Zur is one of the best commanders of all time, however using him effectively would cause the value of the deck to shift up quite a bit

Ah creature based ramp, that's where we miscommunicate, the vision for my combo is actually a 4 color deck, all but black, terminus, temporal, devastation tide, supreme verdict, the Green sorcery speed ramp (Farseek Rangers path, boundless realms), and 8 5 damage burn spells, x4 explosive impact, x4 thunderous wrath, mostly a deck for online since miracles tend to be a bit spendy...

Hellkite clearly was designed for Modern and other formats to deal with people abusing affinity.  For Standard, it's a waste of space.

I'd say it's more for casual, if someone is playing affinity and you can get out a Hellkite Tyrant before you die that person is playing affinity wrong tongue

It could work in an artifact ramp based red EDH deck, maybe Bosh, Iron Golem? Well that's a fun idea...

I was thinking he looks underpowered to me.  Outside of aggro builds (yes, I know that's what Gruul is supposed to run) his +1 doesn't even guarantee a card draw.  The -2 requires you to have a creature to fight with (and is something you can do with Ulvenwald Tracker easily enough.  The only one of his abilities that is worth much in my eyes is the ultimate.  I get that he's a 3 drop, so you could realistically have him/her out on turn two (thank you green), but beyond that, you're not doing much with it.

Fairly reliable card draw in red or green is a very powerful ability and is nothing to shake a stick at, look at Harmonize, it's considered amazingly good while Concentrate is just bad. The worst case scenario is knowing what's ahead and in formats where there are fetchlands that shuffle libraries the ability to know what's coming up can be really good, maybe it's not the best planeswalker ever printed but I'd say that it's better than Vraska by a pretty wide margin

I'd also say that Borborygmos is better than Aurelia, I'm not too impressed by a 3/4 flier for 6, it seems like it's a Timmy card that won't do much, extra combat is nice but doesn't dig you out of a hole the way that being able to turn all of your lands in hand into free lightning bolts can, by the time you hit Borborygmos you're probably topdecking and if you hit a land it can kill you under the wrong circumstances, however I am not impressed at all by the Hellkite Tyrant, blech what a silly win condition without scars block

Also Omniscience + Enter the Infinite deck??? I'm thinking Blue Green Ramp... Sounds fun to me smile

Maybe mox opals or glimmer voids, I don't know.  What do you want to give me?  wink
I'd probably like to see a little junk thrown in on top, as well.

Please don't send offers of just smaller stuff.  Not interested.  I might be interested in trading the 2 oozes for something bigger.

Thanks!

Are you willing to trade them for a couple ~20$ cards on your wishlist if I offer 50$ worth for one?

I have a promo Gather the Townsfolk for trade.

Feel free to shoot me an offer, I'm also interested in the drowned catacombs on your list, I can also plausibly trade from inventory but nothing in a deck (Like Elspeth)

x4 Champion of the Parish FOIL

Fancy Stuff I've got

x2 Pillar of Flame Promo
x1 Wurmcoil Engine Promo
x2 FOIL Ash Zealot

How much are you asking?

I'm curious as to if you're planning to use this as a casual deck and just term it "modern" or if you'd like to actually play in modern, if you're planning to play in modern it's gonna need quite a bit of re-working, I can give you some tips for casual and alot of thoughts for a more competitive deck, and either way having shock instead of Lightning Bolt just makes me sad tongue

Got x2, eBay puts them around 7$ so I'd say about 8-9$ on TCG, (Open to discuss prices)

Mainly looking for drowned catacombs and Innistrad Duels unless someone's willing to trade me modern stuff for them smile

I have an RTR bloodcrypt but I only really see snapcasters, I don't know if you see anything else to make it work

I'd say that there are 2 main types of effective sideboards that i've seen, either cards that are designed to hose particular strategies or 3rd and 4th copies of spells that are in main deck, this sideboard seems very odd, I don't understand the pilgrims at all to be honest, it's too weak to really live long enough to give you life attacking/blocking and only the geists/resto angel really are big enough to survive and if you throw a flight on it you're just asking to get 2 or even 3 for 1ed since they'll take lifelink away from all the creatures you control.

I also love Sundering Growth for sideboard. Worst case scenerio it's a disenchant for WW. Best case scenerio it's a disenchant for W and a 4/4 angel for W stapled together, seems pretty good for a sideboard.

Overall it seems pretty solid, the only creature that can get hit with abrupt is snapcaster (also spectral flight) but it's still pretty hard for them to 2 - for - one you with that at least and everything else you can counter. Redirect is kinda cool but doesn't seem worthwhile in my opinion, you're sideboarding against a card that's completely random, it seems like in a flash deck it would be really good so you can have the option but in a deck like this it seems like it's just slowing you down since you're going to need to hold back mana for it and it just seems like it's not that great.

I'm a fan of devastation tide for a deck like this, alot of your creatures have ETB triggers so that will be helpful and alot of people run rootbound defenses to "Counter" your supreme verdict.

Cards I like for sideboard
Devastation Tide
Rest in Peace and/or Purify the Grave
Essence Scatter
Detention Sphere x3
Oblivion Ring x1 (You can't detention sphere your opponent's detention sphere but you can O-Ring it)
Supreme Verdict
Sundering Growth
Rootborn Defenses

I'm not sure of your match-ups but if you face jund/golgari zombies or reanimator frequently Rest in Peace is a well worthwhile investment, it even laughs at Tamiyo's Emblem since the card needs to hit the graveyard before it returns to hand, it also takes out Rancor against GW Paladin/Smiter. It may seem really bad since you want to be using the stuff in your yard but if you side out your snapcasters for Rest in Peaces it's like the deck was designed that way.

Also why no Tamiyo in SB? Tamiyo with a Jace is pretty good lockdown on its own.

I have also traded with him, I had the same experience as a lot of people, he sent them just fine but they were significantly later than when they were marked as sent, I'm guessing there is some sort of an issue and I wouldn't sting them up, it's most likely an honest issue and they're not trying to screw anyone over. It is a little weird about the gift card tho, that should be instant so it just seems like a bad lie if it is one

I have one

What kind of prices are you looking for? I'm interested in your sword of fire and ice

I value it the same as a normal one and I'm just looking for anything on my wishlist or anything eternal that's worth about the same, other lands are high priority

Interested in Sigarda if you see anything, you can check my inventory as well, no fetches/shocks avaliable tho
