I think he mentioned Ascendancy. Mono-red's consistency probably outweighs whatever Ascendancy gives you though.

Yes, but still a good card. Spell Mastery should be a given unless someone plops down a Rest in Peace or Leyline of the Void, which they shouldn't against Burn. We don't get many options to burn player or creature for 4 with one card, and it importantly does more dmg than it costs in mana. Probably only want this if you're already packing some number of Flame Javelin, but it replaces it because it gets around Dispel and Negate which are some of blue's anti-burn cards of choice.

Wow people really didn't like the mention of tiers. Talk about triggers.

I'm not sure what your definitions of tier are but mine is how prevalent the deck currently is. Which is exactly what you guys were talking about after shitting on the word.

Guess burn has fallen out of favour too?
It's still viable but it's no longer "ermagerd too stronk banhammerz pls"

re: Zoo: Kibler keeps forcing it, but it's not quite there. Could probably get some surprise wins, and Collected Company is a really good card, but you probably won't spike a large tournament with it. Maybe smaller ones.

What do you guys think the top tier modern decks are right now?
Tier 1:
Amulet Bloom
GR Tron
Jund
Twin (Grixis > Temur > UR)

Tier 1.5:
Grixis Delver
Affinity?

Tier 2:
Burn
Collected Abzan
Also is there a Fulminator / Revilark LD Deck?
Not really, but with both Bloom and Tron as Tier 1 strategies, and 3-color decks rounding out the rest of Tier 1, LD isn't horrible. But it probably shouldn't be the primary angle of attack.

The Goyf has far passed the value where Pascal is kind of an asshole again if he doesn't donate more than 50% to charity. When you think it's going to go for double the value due to stamp/story, 50% is fine. When it's going for 5000% of the regular value, maybe you should just say "everything but retail will go to charity."
The eBay auction clearly listed, from the very beginning, that exactly 50% would go to charity. Therefore everybody who has bid has either known or should have known that only 50% of their bid would go to charity and the rest in his pocket. That leads to an inference that everybody bidding is fine with Pascal receiving 50% of the proceeds. If they're fine with it, then so am I.

Pascal Maynard just rare drafted a foil Goyf in P2P1 over Burst Lightning in the top 8. He was drafting a RW double strike deck.
Weird how a guy wouldn't want to hand someone $300 in guaranteed money over for a removal spell in a draft format overloaded with removal spells.
That's gotta be more than $300, right? Foil and stamped? (was it stamped?)

The idea of doing a draft when you don't know the cards or the rules or the game is really funny
Why? Draft is supposed to be the entry point into the game. Don't have any cards? Draft and learn and collect. Just because man-children can't deal with someone learning doesn't mean it's wrong.
assume someone literally doesn't know anything about mtg, has never seen a card before, and then sits down to draft, cracks a pack and has to make a pick. that's the funny scenario.

but kudos for getting bent out of shape and yet somehow calling other people man-children in the same post.
Just for clarity's sake I wasn't calling you a man-child. It was directed at the people in Thrillho's story who complained about the kid.

That said, the only way to learn MTG other than sitting down at that table is if you know someone who will teach you. If you've seen the game and are interested in getting into it but don't know anybody who plays, but you're discouraged from sitting down and playing and trying to learn, then you're locked out. Drafts are the budg casist of the budg cas's. If the kid can't do what he did at a draft then you're basically telling him he's not allowed in the game.
My friend and I taught ourselves how to play with starter decks. I learned mostly how to play - outside of that first night with said friend - alone. Today, there's all of the DotP games to learn how to play.

Showing up and entering a tournament to learn how to play a game is ridiculous.
Once you hit competitive REL then I agree. But at FNM it should be fine to expect a little help from the regulars or organizers.

i've been happy with the playset of commons/uncommons and cherry pick rares/mythics approach. has kept me pretty fluid in the format for a couple years and since I'm in law school now and not pulling down my old salary it's also noticeably easier on the wallet.

did the last modern masters inflate prices or bring them down? Obviously it should bring them down some, but goyf is still at an unreasonable price.
The majority of the rares permanently dropped, any of the chase uncommons that gor reprinted lost min. 50% of their value. Mythics dropped for about a month and then went right back up as people starting buying into Modern in droves.
Do you see room in the market for the same type of "buying into Modern in droves?" If not, that coupled with the higher print run should mean even the chase mythics dropping and not going up as quickly.

That said, I'm sure there are still plenty of Modern (and Legacy) players who haven't gotten their sets of Tarmogoyf yet, so even without additional growth there's still some room in the current Modern player base for demand on these cards.

I'm optimistic about prices this time around, but who knows.

They dipped for a couple weeks when released then went up. The first mm had 2 things that won't be shared to the same degree by the second. Small print run and raised interest in the format. They've already said mm2015 will be a larger print run than the first and I doubt it will bring as many people to the format. So larger supply and smaller or equal demand.

When you play aggro and your opponent turns the corner, you have no hope of winning. You're sitting there like an asshole playing shitty cards. And this is basically how all of your matchups go, by definition.

When you're playing control and your opponent steamrolls you, you have no hope of winning. But at least you're playing fun and exciting cards, and still have other fun matchups as well: control mirrors, midrange matchups, etc.
