Thursday Night Modern

Deruvid, 6 years ago

Had some janky matchups last night that I did not take good notes for. Will try to write up to the best of my memory. Overall 2-1.

Round One 2-0 vs Temur Landfall, with elemental subtheme.

Interesting engine combining extra landrops from Risen Reef with Lotus Cobra but while the deck made a lot of mana, I didn't see too many payoffs and just overran his board.

G1W: He flooded the board with small stuff while I built up devotion and used Kessig Wolf Run to pump my Birds of Paradisefoil +20 for the win in one shot.

G2W: His Wrenn and Six got my early mana dorks but I eventually cast Hornet Queen and followed up with Craterhoof Behemoth

Round 2 1-2 vs MonoU Urza

This was probably the "fairest" version of Urza, Lord High Artificerfoil.

G1L: He had a very fast Spring Leaf Drum into double Etherium Sculptor for a large Construct beatdown. Spine of Ish Sah and Blast Zone kept me off the board.

G2W: I landed a t2 Collector Ouphe which basically shut him down entirely.

G3L: This game was much slower, with me trading Reclamation Sages for his artifacts, but he eventually landed a Karn, the Great Creator and Darksteel Colossus and I could not keep up.

Sb: 2x Dismember Collector Ouphe 2x Reclamation Sage

Round 3 2-1 vs Orzhov Constellation Control

G1L: Timely Kaya's Wrath and Banishing Light knocked me off the board after getting him down to 5 life.

G2W: Played more carefully and landed planeswalkers which he couldn't deal with.

G3W: Was able to string together more value and he ran out of answers.

Trade out

nightfire7, 6 years ago

Azorius Signet is out and Umezawa's Jitte is in. I can definitely have a lot of life gain/removal power if I keep on stacking the counters on this thing. It can help me swing for lethal and also handle indestructible creatures once enough counters are on it. The flexibility provided with this card is just too good to pass up.

Looter Scooter!

Leptys, 6 years ago

Cuts: Kambal, Consul of Allocation

Adds: Smuggler's Copter

Just a small adjustment this time, bringing the Looter Scooter to the list for some testing to see how well it connects with all the small utility creatures being played. The discard function will also most likely be relevant with Relic-Warder reanimation, but we'll see how that works out.

In addition to that I updated each card on the list to match the version I have in my collection (compulsory bling flex is compulsory).

Trades

Zyndro_, 6 years ago

I traded an unused The Great Henge for a Dragonskull Summit, Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God, Sarkhan the Masterless, Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker, and Saheeli, Sublim Artificer. The last trade was Fires of Invention I am testing it out to see how it performs cheating out planeswalkers.

LGS trip 1

Zyndro_, 6 years ago

I went to my LGS yesterday and I got some sweet new additions. Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge gives my planeswalkers and creatures affinity for artifacts which is insane cost reduction, Repeated Reverberation will triple my loyalty abilities, Deliver Unto Evil is bolas themed recursion for the flavor win, and then Canyon Slough to slowly upgrade the decks poor mana base. I also found that I had an unused Will Kenrith I might add Rowan Kenrith as well since her emblem will double planeswalker abilities, I will consider her more after I get more proliferate effects or ways to add loyalty counters

Go away Godo

thecakeisalie42, 6 years ago

I've been testing with the deck, and I feel like it needs just a bit more land. Also, I've used Soul-Guide Lantern in some of my other decks, and it's grade-A top-shelf stuff. Lastly, the deck can afford Arcane Signet now, so I'm slotting that in.

Also, I've decided to cut Helm of the Host, since it goes against the philosophy of the deck, which is to swing with Drak, as well as having to say "well yes I do have an infinite combo but I usually tutor Lightning Greaves with Godo but if the game goes long I want a way to finish it so we can go to sleep before 5am" whenever we play.

Out: Strionic Resonator, Helm of the Host, Godo, Bandit Warlord, and something I forgot

In: Mountain, Arcane Signet, Soul-Guide Lantern, Defense Grid

With the extra budget wiggle room, I'll probably be looking into some upgrades.

Considering: Captain Lannery Storm, Honor-Worn Shaku, Treasonous Ogre, Everflowing Chalice
