MTGO Modern League: 2 - 3 —July 24, 2016

Eldrazi and Taxes: 0 - 2

Thalia taxed me out of draw enchantment/artifact. No fog = loose.

Jund: 2 - 0

Stayed on the mill plan game 2. Discard spells are annoying but no real threat when the draw enginge stays. The only fear was abrupt decay on my sweet 3cmc enchantments...

Affinity: 1 - 2

I think this is a very favouring matchup for me. Game 1 went like plan. Game 2/3 i stayed the mill plan. Due to really bad draws i ended G2 with no more fogs in hand. G2 ended T4 (played 1 fogs and didnt drew another). In Game 3 i missplayed and forgot to flash dictate on end step. I flashed it despairing on my up keep hoping for value and noticed that i had only 2 mana fogs and only 4 lands. GG -.-

Red Devotion: 1 - 2

4 main deck Leyline of Punishment is a horror! Well I managed to win G2 due to Emrakul T4. That matchup is something about 10 - 90

BW Token: 2 - 1

Also a avouring matchup. Won both games (G2/G3) with the token polymorph plan.

Why not cast Polymorph on Forbidding Watchtower or Genju of the Fields or Myth Realized? Those are creatures that will always be there when you need them and won't die to spot removal.

Also against burn I recommend First Response as a token generator. You can throw in Adarkar Wastes to trigger it whenever you have the health.

@Polupus

You made some interesting suggestions. I really like Forbidding Watchtower as a four-of in mainboard. It takes no space for wincons, fogs or utility and the loss in speed (enteres tapped) is ok. I will test it with Myth Realized in Sideboard for only 8 tokenproducer. With Polymorph and the two fatties it takes only 10 Cards for the transform. So i will test some cards against burn in SB.

@bah-bammmm

Sure Emrakul, the Aeons Torn seems better at the first look. But Progenitus plays around Restoration Angel, Flickerwisp, Aether Spellbomb, Oblivion Ring, Detention Sphere and all kind of answers to emi. A lot of people forget about the fact, that emi is only save against spells but not against abilities.

Sounds like you hit an efficient spot needed for the transform. Nice.

Yeah, let us know how it goes! Always makes me happy to see successful control decks.

Love this deck, building it in the next days, also cause i have already a w/u turbo fog, so it will be an easy tranformation, do you have any budjet options instead of emrakul?

Glad to hear. If you are looking for a budget bomb for polymorph i recommend:

With protection

With some protection:

Without protection

On budget I like Akroma, Angel of Wrath + Sphinx of the Steel Wind the most. A good package of protection against most removal + vigilance, flying, first strike and lifelink/haste will end the game quick.

Wow, thank you so much for such a good answer. I guess the Sphinx of the Steel Wind that i was so sad i got out of eternal masters will finally be useful, how about Progenitus + Sphinx of the Steel Wind?

I am really enjoying playing this deck!

However I am noticing that it has trouble with game 1 if I don't draw Sphinx's Tutelage by the time I use up all my fogs. I think it might be worth your while to get a recurring fog in there either via Isochron Scepter or something similar.

Also my favorite combo is t3 on their end step counter your own Holy Day with Swan Song into a Polymorph on t4. I would go all in for swan song just for that. Forget Negate. You have Oblivion Ring to handle planeswalkers and artifacts.

Wow, didn't even think about that! great idea, can't wait to build this & have some fun :)

Hey, i was thinking, how about Iona, Shield of Emeria, i know it doesn't kill in 2 turns, but it has sudo protection & in 3 turns it's 21 damage, please let me know what you think
