Won the first Star City Game Night thingy. The store was trying out Pauper and I've never played it. I actually really liked it.

Also, hurray Squirrel pin that people want to buy off me.

We are starting ours next month and my friend/TO is trying to keep it casual.

5 cmc is looking like some sort of sweet spot in this set. I'm starting to think there might be a good Mardu midrange deck here

With each card being previewed it appears we may be heading into a midrange standard format.

NerdBoyWonder

Nothing, was just stating that from the RED perspective, nothing kills a t3 courser. I don't expect myself to play only red in a wedge format. I might not even play red at all with Abzan keeps getting some good ones. Right now the cards keeping me tied to red are Sarkhan, Rabblemaster, Stormbreath,...

Squadron Hawk and Prophetic Flamespeaker with swords sounds pretty boss

NerdBoyWonder

Eidolon of Great Revel VS Thalia: I lean on the Eidolon. Thalia punishes us as much as she punishes our opponent. Eidolon on the other hand helps us with our beat down first, combo second strategy. Wall of Omens: Pushes the deck to be Combo First/Beat Down later. Wall of Omens fits better in decks t...

NBW: Did Blade Splicer not perform well for you? It's not that. I only have 2. Would definitely have 3 or 4 if I had 2 more dropping a Grim lavamancer or a Thalia or both. In the 2 games I managed to play they, along side Prophetic Flamespeaker with Slayer's Stronghold, over performed BUT they were...

I'm going to be so annoyed if the answer has been Wall of Omens the whole time. :argh: @ Khaospawn in advance Wall of Omens was decent when I was playing Kiki Control but does nothing when facing combo decks. HATED having it when I tested against scapeshift. It definitely fends off aggro a bit.

NerdBoyWonder

I've been playing around with Stoke the Flames and enjoying it a lot. I have it as a 2-of to round out the 4 spot. Great synergy with Brimaz, and occasionally I get to use it for free with a Restoration Angel blinking a red guy EOT. It encourages a strategy featuring more little guys, so I'm going ...

This is the modern deck I've been messing around with: Creatures (13) 4 Dark Confidant 4 Tidehollow Sculler 3 Brimaz, King of Oreskos 2 Olivia Voldaren Spells (24) 2 Inquisition of Kozilek 4 Lightning Bolt 3 Path to Exile 4 Thoughtseize 4 Lightning Helix 3 Liliana of the Veil 4 Lingering Souls Land...

I also recently played some games with dega jund in modern and I think I love it. Guess I'm just hung up on that colour combo.

Mardu list or a Jund list?

NerdBoyWonder

5 mana legion loyalist is a lot worse then legion loyalist

True but for limited that guy is going to push through. Could see sideboard play in a Mardu Midrange deck to face creature match ups when board stalls happen. He's no Loyalist though for sure.

Got a couple games in with the deck but didn't play against anything major. Played against an Abzan Spore deck (da fuq) and against a mono green elf deck. I was able to see the power behind a lot of the cards. I'm missing 2 blade splicers so I have 2 rabblemaster in its place. Only played him once b...

NerdBoyWonder

Mardu has a lot of tools/creatures. Black splash adds Hand disruption (thoughtseize/IoK), card draw (Bob), removal (slaughter pact/terminate/dismember), and utility tools such as Rakdos Charm that beats twin, fights graveyards, and kills artifacts. Things I noticed from your videos Ham is that you k...

In the PTQ this past weekend in San Diego apparently there was a guy running a list with Rabblemaster and was doing decent but I never heard the style of deck or color combo.

Kiki + Thornbite Staff + Lightning Crafter or Mogg Fanatic = infinite damage.

NerdBoyWonder

Looking for a new modern deck to play and I think this is something I am looking for. It has Mountains, is aggressive, and has Kiki. Only if I could fit My current pet card Goblin Rabblemaster...

NerdBoyWonder

My friends who went all scrumped. To be fair, none of us play modern and only one of them is really a grinder.

Lots of Scapeshift, Pod and Rock decks. I should have played a bloodmoon deck.

NerdBoyWonder

In San Diego for a Modern PTQ. Ready to scrump.
Couldn't make v it :*

Roughly 180 people. Just went 1-3 drop full scrump. Just realized I like playing decks that apply pressure more so then trying to tempo or play reactive. Caught some misplays and overall had some awesome games.

What city are you in again?

El Centro, CA. I am actually much closer to Arizona and Mexico borders than I am to any major city located in Southern Cali. The 2 hour drive makes all the difference. Summer time temp rises easily over 100. Hoping to make the move to San Diego by next year.

NerdBoyWonder

Heading to the PTQ in San Diego LP?
Looking like it.

Cool. I plan on entering as well. Only a 2 hour drive to San Diego from my current location. Taking TarmoTwin.

Played out a few games against my friend's Naya Walkers deck to get a feel for Rabble White. Rubblebelt Makka + Boros Charm for lethal multiple games. Now to see if I can love the dream and B-Charm Rabblemaster.

NerdBoyWonder

Lets build a better Rabble. I'm unlikely to splash since I expect other red decks to show up in reasonable numbers, but testing demands I try everything. Lets go over the splashes: Boros is the most appealing since boros cards are proven and battelfield forge is tits. Izzet gives you steam vents an...

How does rift bolt interact with Eidolon? Does it trigger when you cast for free? It still triggers even when it is suspended. It won't trigger when you suspend it but when it is casted from suspension the CMC is still 3 even if it was not paid since Eidolon of Great Revel's trigger does not care a...

My experiences with kiki control have been mostly positive. Ya'll nigga's suck. My experience has been polarizing. Either extremely well or extremely poor. When I approach playing or picking a deck I want consistency if anything. I don't think the deck is the biggest 60 card steaming pile like Zem ...

NerdBoyWonder

Looks like I will be taking RDW to the PTQ in San Diego next month with the way Kiki Control has been panning out. Could just rock affinity or Zoo also.

NerdBoyWonder

Understandable. Happens to me also and I suffered at the hands of that during testing on Tuesday. If it continues this way I may just drop Kiki control all together and just make a mono red Kiki commander deck.

NerdBoyWonder

I hear pauper mono u and was summoned. I'm going to try to force burn lol. Maybe I'll get disheartened like MDU, but after several failed attempts with Kiki Control, I just don't think I'm cut out to play control. Control has a different mind set attached to it. Even now I am trying to get use to i...
