Congrats! Good job!

Platypus

Awesome! Good luck!

Platypus

Just wait a couple of years, and it will be worth about $280.

Platypus

The names are generic, nothing ties them to Theros. Compare with the lands from Scars of Mirrodin, which don't have generic names.

Platypus

Scry is evergreen now, so I wouldn't be surprised to see them reprinted. I'm keeping mine, but I'm too lazy to sell them anyway.

Platypus

And printed some new cards that went into decks.

Platypus

I wouldn't cut Blaze either in the mirror match.

Platypus

I'm looking forward to reading about your testing results Platypus!! Don't hold your breath. I have really limited opportunities to playtest and even less to play in tournaments atm. Gurmag Angler could work as well, but without Thought Scours for instance to really get it out early I'm not sure if...

Platypus

After this weekend's 3-4 result, I'm really interested in testing a Tasigur version.

Platypus

So I'm currently on this slightly tweaked (SB only) deck from my last Modern event (the one I won): [deck=Platy's Burn]Land (20) 12 Red Fetches 4 Mountain 3 Sacred Foundry 1 Stomping Ground Creatures (14) 4 Monastery Swiftspear 4 Eidolon of the Great Revel 4 Goblin Guide 2 Grim Lavamancer Spells (26...

There's a familiar face in this video:

I've noticed when looking at stats on MTG Goldfish that Burn isn't doing so well right now. Whether that is because it's being hated out or everybody forcing Atarka's Command, I don't know.

I'll probably have a decklist up tonight or tomorrow...

Platypus

I'm going to a bigger Modern event on Saturday. The question is: Atarka's Command or no? I have zero plays behind me with Atarka version, not that I think it matters much. Metagame will probably be heavy on Twin, Burn and Junk/Collected Company, Grixis Delver might be popular as well, and Affinity t...

Platypus

Prometheus was a stupid movie. That one definitely didn't go to eleven.

Platypus

Only platypus keeps saying turned up to eleven, not everyone Yeah, it's only me. But what else can you use to describe that car with drums and a guy hanging from ropes in front of a wall of loudspeakers, playing a guitar/flamethrower? It's insane, yet makes totally sense within the constraints of t...

Platypus

Because that's what it feels like.

Platypus

It is, a lot. I've recently watched the old ones before this new one arrived. First one (first time I saw it) is really overrated, in my opinion, total snoozefest. The second one I've seen many times, and it still holds up for what it is: a low budget B action movie. The third one is ok, but felt li...

Platypus

Yes, it has over the top, bat-shit crazy stuff, but it's way better over the top, bat-shit crazy stuff than anything Bay would make. Just go see it.

Platypus

Just saw Mad Max: Fury Road...

OMG! This one goes to eleven, it's just crazy!

Platypus

I put Patron Warrior together when I had the cards for it (minus Grommash). It's good and fun, but have a very high learning curve.

Platypus

I like that list, feels good for the metagame around here (a recent tournament was very heavy on Burn and Twin).

What would you drop for the second Tasigur?

Platypus

I think it's ok, don't understand the hate at all.

Platypus

Amen.

Platypus

I agree, Lavaman is quite necessary. It's very hard to get to stick, because people fear it a lot more than Goblin Guide and try to remove it ASAP. I'm even tempted to put a third one in the SB against the aforementioned decks.

Platypus

Congrats! I love the deck, although I'm not fully convinced of that single Zurgo. But I'm not opposed to trying it either.

Platypus

It's hard to say, since it isn't as established as the top tier decks (Affinity, Twin, Junk, and Burn). Currently it's at second most played (9.18%) on MTGGoldfish, which of course doesn't mean it's getting results. But people clearly think it has potential. I'd say tier 1.5 until we get more data f...

Platypus

So, our local tournament organizer got hold of some Innistrad boosters and we're doing some drafts (3x Innistrad) next week. I never drafted that (don't do much drafting at all), so any relevant strategies besides grabbing all the Lilianas, Snapcasters, and GoSTs i can get? is it all about Invisible...

Platypus

I totally understand the concern for PtE, but it's such a silver bullet it's hard to let go of it. Deflecting Palm is great against Infect and Bogles, so if you're going to face those you definitely want a couple.

Platypus

How important do you feel the Deflecting Palms are? Those could easily become Rending Volleys.

Platypus

That one looks really solid.

Platypus

Go down to 17...

Platypus

My maindeck would probably look similar. What's your thoughts on that 2/1 split between Terminate and Murderous Cut? It's usually the other way around, but then they have one less Delve creature. Is that the main reason? 1x Keranos and 1x Batterskull are frequent SB alternatives, any thoughts on tho...

Platypus

I wouldn't go with 18 lands either. 19 maybe, because 20 sometimes felt like too much.

Platypus

I've seen lists with a 1/4 Tasigur/Angler split. I certainly understand the appeal of Angler, but I wonder about the slight increase in casting cost vs Tasigur. But this is without any testing. I'm not sure about Tasigur's ability either, so it's mainly the big cheap body that's interesting. I might...

Platypus

Grixis Delver with 3x Tasigur and 3x YP seems to have established itself as the preferred Delver version. The deck is the fifth played archetype on MTGO right after Burn, and it's putting up decent results. For my own part I'm gathering the last few pieces for the deck, and would welcome any discuss...

Platypus

Generally if you're cutting one drops against a particular deck you're either sideboarding wrong or built your 75 wrong. Your x/1s may be weak to tokens but I'd rather cut cards like Stoke the Flames for more effective removal like Arc Lightning, Twin Bolt, and Scouring Sands. I haven't been cuttin...

Platypus

I probably overestimated the early turn kills possibilities and rushed my plays. I had only played against the deck a year ago (same tournament) but I had UR Storm then. Turn 3 combo kill and turn 2 ritualed out Blood Moon won that match.

Platypus

I haven't rewatched those games from the finals yet, but yeah I know I probably made several mistakes in them. Fatigue errors, most likely, and I was very unfamiliar with this matchup.

Platypus

Feature videos! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ep9qZZo-8Dg - Round 5 against UR Twin, starts around 1:35:00. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5UUErOZnqM - Third game in the quarter-finals, against GW Hatebears, starts around 39:00 (Bad mistake from me on his second turn...). https://www.youtube.com...

Platypus

I didn't mind the single one I had in the SB either. You only board it in against the decks you know have small creatures anyway (Affinity, Mirror, GW Hatebears maybe, Delver, Merfolk).
