Icbrgr on Hilarious whiff and miss

1 day ago

I am pretty certain I had more than 20 cards in the library at the time... granted it's not unreasonable to consider this because we did playtest a few times where I did lose via deck out (no he isn't playing any mill shenanigans) the looting effects just really RIP through the deck fast but Supreme Verdict is a card that just makes Hollow One and friends sad even when "winning"

Because my deck was actually working as intended in my opinion and I know for certain I had hollow one and company working down my brother's life total even through removal hence him being in bolt range.... I think the 40 cards stat is pretty fair to guess what I was working with.

I appreciate you crunching the numbers DreadKhan Very interesting, I am taking the deck to my LGS for Modern tonight and hopefully the odds will go my way!

The Reef would replace one of the Vents if it did come in. It's twice the power and hurts their library as well, but I don't know if it will make it in or not. I will do some testing with it and see how it does. Glad to hear the deck is working well for you! I also feel the deck is in a nice spot and it may just not need the shark land, but I do love the card lol.

What are your sideboard swaps when playing against Rakdos Vampires?

I like:

Out 3xFatal Push, 1xJwari Disruption  ^Flip, 3xTeferi, Hero of Dominaria

In 1xDovin's Veto, 1xVoid Rend, 2xStarnheim Unleashed, 1xSupreme Verdict, 1xThe End, 1xLyra Dawnbringer

Shark Typhoon works really with The End to hit a Vein Ripper and pay the ward cost. cycle on 3, end on 4. My sideboard swaps maximize ways to stop Sorin from hitting board, ways to non-target remove Ripper or get around ward, and gives you more top end power to close out the game, since the Rakdos matchup actually favors them the longer the game goes. Teferi is pretty low impact overall in the rakdos matchup, especially since it cant cleanly deal with a ripper by itself.

Some thoughts:

• As already mentioned, both Teferi's Protection and Thriving Moor are not modern legal.

• Also as already mentioned, you always want your deck to be at 60 cards - anything above this is a concession of both power and reliability. The first thing you should be doing is ditching 19 cards to get back to 60.

• your deck is running a LOT of really suboptimal versions of cards. Specifically, i’d be expecting countermagic like Counterspell, No More Lies, and Spell Pierce. And interaction like Prismatic Ending, Fatal Push, and Leyline Binding. And, board-wipes like Supreme Verdict or Damn.

• some of these cards seem more “cute” than “useful”. Specifically looking at Smothering Tithe, Palantir of Orthanc, and Approach of the Second Sun.

• the landbase needs a lot of work, soecifically fetchlands and shocklands (allied fetchlands are getting reprinted in mh3 this year so should get a lot cheaper when that happens).

If I were building a deck with your colour and budget restraints, it’d be this. I’d suggest your list look very close to this, if you’re wanting to end up with an ”Azorius Aggro-Control deck”.

• 23x Lands
• 4x Counterspell
• 4x No More Lies
• 2x Spell Snare
• 2x Stern Scolding
• 4x Fateful Absence
• 4x Prismatic Ending
• 2x Supreme Verdict
• 4x Preordain
• 4x Delver of Secrets  ^Flip
• 4x Tolarian Terror
• 3x Haughty Djinn

If you’re going down the route of specifically wanting to build around Ethersworn Canonist, it’s a completely different deck - neither aggro nor control, but instead some kind of artifact-based tempo build.

Some thoughts:

• i don’t think you want Supreme Verdict when your path to victory appears to be go-wide creatures.

• you have very few ways to deal with a threat once an opponent plays it (and any savvy opponent will always find ways to get some stuff onto the board). I think you need more ways to remove those threats that inevitably resolve.

• control decks normally rely on being able to maintain a card-advantage engine over the opponent (if a game ever comes down to topdecking, they’ll always lose). Without any ways to refill your hand or draw additional cards, I’m not convinced you’ll be able to control the game for as long as you’ll need to. Something like Archmage's Charm and/or Memory Deluge would help you a lot here.

Howdy! I love the sword/foundry combo - it was the second deck I ever built!

I was wondering if you could explain your Sai, Sword, and Foundry combo. I understand the Sword/Foundry combo, but I don't see how Sai fits in, since you never cast the sword and therefore never create a 1/1.

Also, I would recommend adding targeted removal, such as Path to Exile or Fatal Push, and board wipes, such as Supreme Verdict and Wrath of God.

Since you the deck is really a combo deck, you need something to slow down your opponents as you assemble your pieces. You can easily rebuild after wiping the board, so board wipes are very one-sided.

Also, it is very important to find your pieces - otherwise, you are dead in the water. I recommend adding pieces such as Whir of Invention to find your combo.

Lastly, I would consider a couple Ensnaring Bridges - if the opponent has no answer, then you can easily set it up so you are the only one attacking.

Yeah, it's good to get out and play in person if you can. Stay safe, meet good people, and enjoy it.

First thought is, as long as there's no proxy limit, use the original dual lands. Tundra, Taiga, and all the rest have all the upside of the shocklands with none of the downside. If you can, the fetchlands (Wooded Foothills, Windswept Heath, etc.) will give you more consistency and precision in your land base as well.

Basically, proxy up the best possible version of the card you have. Another couple of switches could be Idyllic Tutor -> Enlightened Tutor, or Doomskar -> Supreme Verdict, and even these could probably be improved. The goal is to go as fast and hard as possible. If you want to stick with the Shrine core, then maximize the support and land base. Find ways to play two or three Shrines each turn. Skim through the Legacy meta and pull ideas from there. If everyone's allowed to proxy everything, then you have free reign to go wild.

Above all, have fun!

Swing4Lethal on Esper Control 3.0

@R3l04d: Thanks for your feedback! I haven not updated since WoE. However, I did move a Supreme Verdict to the sideboard in place of 1 copy of Rest in Peace and cut the Censor. I added Cling to Dust and Jwari Disruption  ^Flip to the main. I looked up The End. It certainly is powerful, and could easily replace the Vanishing Verse in the sideboard. I don't know about cutting Saw it Coming though, as you need a protected way to counter things in Thoughtseize decks that this list is susceptible too, such as Mayhem Devil, Omnath, Locus of Creation, Niv-Mizzet, Supreme, etc. Esper control has always been my go-to archetype and I believe it is much better positioned than UW control because of the premium removal black brings and of course Sheoldred, the Apocalypse. Also, Reckoner Bankbuster is probably the most valuable card in the deck. I have a 100% win rate in games that I have cast it.
