Record 2-2

R1 - 1-2: Grief Ephemerate Orzhov - Matchup felt fine. They had nut-draw g1 & g3.

R2 - 2-1: Budget burn - Was fine matchup, would probably lose to non-budget burn deck

R3 - 2-0: UW Stoneblade - Had answers to everything. Able to thoughtseize Kaldra Compleat both …

Coming from Jund, this is a really fun deck and more in line with what I envisioned Jund being. The threats are bigger and provide a much better clock, I also have twice as many threats in the deck and ways to find them consistently. I don't have the ability …

R1: Mono-red Prowess - 1-2: Lost game 1. Won g2 off of denying a hand emptying play he made because I held up removal to bait it out. Happy that ended up working. Lost g3, not sure what would have happened. I had a good hand, but did not draw …

So It's been a long time since I've updated this deck. I don't think there's a point in explaining every change since there were so much. So I'll just go over my philosophy.

• There should be a minimum 24 dragons (I count Ugin)
• 2 Counterspells, this is just …

R1: Mono-red prowess: 0-2. Lost soundly. Did not draw hand disruption in g2 after 2 mulligans.

R2: UW Control: 2-1. Very fun games, fighting for position the whole time. I won g1 on the back of BBE 2-for-1-ing well after we are both low on resources. G3 I had alot …

I'm still trying new things, next time I play modern I'll be trying 2x Kroxa with 2x Seasoned Pyromancer for the synergy. Also trying 2x Anger of the Gods in the sideboard. (Removed 1x Blood Braid Elf and 1x Raging Ravine for the 2x Pyromancer. Thought process was that BBE's …

I swapped some cards in the sideboard right before my Modern event tonight. Got absolutely hosed by 5-color snow shell decks, and the sideboard changes would not have changed anything. I lost a close game to a Niv Mizzet deck, lost to Whirza bc of a misplay and then bad …

1. I'm trying out some more land hate in the SB. I took out a Fulminator Mage and an Ancient Grudge to add a Molten Rain and a Stone Rain.

2. I'm also trying different graveyard hate, so I took out a Nihil Spellbomb and put in a Graffdigger's Cage …

Revamped the deck to make the mana curve a lot leaner.

After piloting this deck for the first time this last week, I did find a weak point that I expect to encounter often. This would be any form of mass bounce spell. In particular [Cyclonic-Rift] seems to really give this deck trouble. I think the only way to protect against …

A casual tournament showed some trouble closing out the game with the original list. During the 4 round tournament, the infinite combo was pulled off in one game (this is an expected low frequency and I'm happy with that result) . There were at least 2 games where I had …

Battered Golem also proved useful, however his utility has gone down significantly with removal of the other infinite combo pieces. He will be replaced by Glint Hawk for synergy with Reckless Fireweaver and ETB effects on cheap artifacts.

Hey Guys! So this build is primary for the lulz when your opponent realizes you're playing possibly the worst Win-Con in standard. However I want the deck to be sneakily competitive as well. Tough line to walk, I know, so I'm testing a build with a few alternate win-cons like: …

So, as my first legacy event, I felt like I played well. Some sloppy plays were made of course, since I wasn't well versed in the format as I wish I had been before the day started. But here's my record for the day. I can definitely see some improvements …
