Massive and overdetailed game breakdown incoming, be forewarned

I've been testing this mono black control list and had some epic grind fests, I just finished an extremely long and hard fought game against Simic, Izzet Storm, and an upgraded Necron precon Szarekh, the Silent King. You'll never guess who the problem was. Ok this game was absolutely wild, so after about an hour of normal play i.e. simic is simicing and has a rhystic, I have necropotence and bowmasters (2 of my 3 gc's) and I'm keeping the game mostly under control, Mizzix player is totally cucked bc they keep losing their Mizzix, Necron guy is casting Necrons, and it's mostly a fight of Vannifar, Evolved Enigma trying to gain steam and me removing all their stuff except I can't touch the rhystic so we're both full up on cards. First crux of the game, Vannifar player plays Ixidron, I tuck my Crypt Ghastfoil under The Moment. On my turn I pop the moment and get my ghast back, clearing the rhystic but taking a lot of collateral. I tried to completely recover from the moment wrath via Yawgmoth's Will but Vannifar had a counter for it. So I do seem to pull ahead here, Mizzix just quits and I manage to get lethal on Vannifar. So then it's me and Necron guy. Enter the halfway mark of the game, a 1v1 now. He's at full and I'm at half. I have Crypt Ghastfoil, Gauntlet of Power and both coffers so tons of mana, also I have Bowmaster and Yawgmoth, Thran Physician. My opponent has Caged Sun and Biotransference, and a good board of Necrons with a Trazyn the Infinite threatening to copy a Bolas's Citadel in the yard. I have Dimir Machinations and Languish but most of his stuff is too big, he's mono black so my gauntlet and his sun both pump him lol. I'm so low on life, at this point I need to %100 control the game or lose but I'm in a decent position to do it with the Yawgmoth. Here's my big choice, I use machinations to get Maralen of the Mornsong, then use Talon Gates of Madara to phase her out until my next turn. I take a hit here because I tapped to attack and kill Vannifar. I fumbled a little because I could have used the Yawgmoth and discarded some lands to -1/-1 and reduce my damage. I owned it and go down to 5. My turn, the Maralen phases in, I go down to 2 life. Can you guess what I get with her? Umezawa's Jitte. I needed some kind of life gain and Jitte was just about my last hope. Because I had so much mana and lands in hand, I was able to proliferate Jitte with Yawg and use both modes to perfectly Languish all the Necrons while pumping my board. I draw back up but nothing great. Their turn. They have huge mana too, replay their flying commander and make bonus necrons from Biotransference. Threatening lethal again. Back and forth, I'm CLINGING TO LIFE against these (still pumped +2) necrons, by using yawg ability and Jitte to snipe them and proliffing about 4 times a turn. He gets Bolas's Citadel on board, recurred via the commander. I got a harnessed The Soul Stone and recur Maralen to tutor on my turn, then sac her to yawg (she died to languish before). I still don't have enough life to go for the oppo lock because they are going too wide and I have to actively snipe necrons to stay alive AND prevent the lethal Bolas's Citadel activation. I have Maha, Its Feathers Night and Night of Souls' Betrayal which does NOT kill the necrons but brings them to X/2, I tutor and asymmetrical sweep again with Nuclear Fallout and finally we are are looking a bit safer. I'm still hovering at 1-2 life each turn (on Jitte life support, allowing me to maralen tutor) and barely keeping them off the lethal citadel activation. But I drew like ass, deck has no wincons only sorc speed removal, and I'm dead as soon as they can get 10 nonland perms which could be any turn. But I do have enough cards and mana to use yawg/jitte to stay alive. Finally, I draw Plague Engineer on a Massacre Girl trigger on their turn (responding to their trigger making the lethal necrons and sniping the existing ones). They pass. I use Soul Stone -> recur Maralen and get Engineered Plague. 39 cards left in my deck. I cast BOTH PLAGUES finally making the Necrons X/0 and they concede on the spot sealing the game. HOLY F*CJKSCING NECRONS!!!! Seriously was the most epic game I've had in a while and not at all who I expected trouble from in that pod. WELL PLAYED. Well PLAYED, Necron dude.

Niko9 on favorite pet card(s)

Oh, and not really a pet card, but I've come to really love equipment artifacts in EDH. Ever since I built an equip deck I've seen how valuable they are in an aggro strategy, having the investment of equips on the board when wipes hit makes the build back up so much faster.

Something like Umezawa's Jitte gets so much value over a game, pumping attacks, picking off mana dorks, and I never have any problem re equipping it if the creatures gets removed because it's always worth another 2.

This was also when I started digging into the game. For the full list, it's

  • 8th Edition

  • Mirrodin Block

  • Kamigawa Block

  • 9th Edition

  • Ravnica Block

  • Coldsnap

  • Time Spiral Block

  • 10th Edition

  • Magic 2011

  • Scars of Mirrodin Block

The initial Modern banlist was Ancestral Vision, Ancient Den, Bitterblossom, Chrome Mox, Dark Depths, Dread Return, Glimpse of Nature, Golgari Grave-Troll, Great Furnace, Hypergenesis, Jace, the Mind Sculptor, Mental Misstep, Seat of the Synod, Sensei's Divining Top, Skullclamp, Stoneforge Mystic, Sword of the Meek, Tree of Tales, Umezawa's Jitte, Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle, and Vault of Whispers.

legendofa Back with another batch.

Definites:

•Spawnbroker

•Veteran Armorer

•Sword of the Paruns

•Anthem of Rakdos

•Brace for Impact

•Magewright's Stone

•Evolution Charm

•Seal of Primordium

•Intervention Pact

•Mystic Speculation

•Veilstone Amulet

Possibles:

•Blinding Powder…if the guy holding it is trying to blind himself XD

•Exile into Darkness is reminiscent of Cage of Hands. Right perspective, hands coming from off screen, but they’re disembodied.

•Clinging Darkness see above.

•Hex seems like it isn’t FPP, but if you’ve ever toiled away painting/organizing miniatures, sometimes you’ll stoop down to check things and get this very perspective.

•Spectral Searchlight odd angle, but possible.

•Haunting Hymn this one’s tough. If you take the whispy tendril thingies to be limbs, then this potentially qualifies. If it’s supposed to be smoke or vapors, then no. I don’t know anything about the lore/backstory of this card to know what’s going on here.

Almost certainly not:

•Shuko check the thumbs. It’s not FPP

•Umezawa's Jitte see above

•Fury Charm almost certainly not FPP, unlike the other charm.

Nice I love Boros and the Bushido is perfect for it. Kudos on the story too! I see you put a good deal of effort into that, molding the story through the cards. I'm all about that and the old Kamigawa cards, that was one of the first sets I ever played in MtG and it makes me nostalgic everytime.

If you're looking to update the deck, you could consider some stuff like Fighter Class or Master Warcraft to force your opponent to block with something that will die to Bushi, rather than rely on them willingly blocking.

Embercleave is pretty nutty and could soup Bushi up big time, surprise double strike ain't nothing to shake a stick at.

Then there's the classic Umezawa's Jitte, build up some charge counters and you can buff Bushi at instant speed. Although the opponent will see it coming, they may not have a choice. And it's Betrayers of Kamigawa classic Samurai to boot.

Sejiri Shelter  Flip is also pretty cool, these new dual face lands have got potential to really pad a list. Admittedly more useful in EDH, but I see some stuff in here that could be replaced by that to make some room. There's a few Boros dual face lands too that could be considered here for our boy Bushi. Legion Leadership  Flip comes to mind.

Minas Tirith is becoming an auto include in almost all my White decks, it's just so good especially if aggro.

My deck Heroes of Redwall Abbey might give you some more ideas, most of these suggestions are pulled from there. Good luck brave Samurai Warrior!

Equipment and other stabtastic things are fun, and your deck has a lot of my usual favorite toys in those colors. I approve. I do have some thoughts that might help you, though, but some of these are playgroup dependent (or meta-dependent):

Rhadamanthus on what is modal?

1 year ago

A modal spell is a spell with an effect that says "Choose [some number] - [list of choices]" where you make the modal choices as you cast it. Spells like Simic Charm or Cryptic Command are modal spells. Aether Channeler has a triggered ability with a modal effect, but Aether Channeler itself as a spell is not modal because you don't make any modal choices as you cast it. Similarly, Umezawa's Jitte has an activated ability with a modal effect but the Jitte itself is not a modal spell and Jace, the Mind Sculptor has a bunch of different activated abilities but doesn't have anything modal about it.
