Is this week game day? Damn, I actually wanted that diplomats promo. Oh well. Vacation is fine as well

James, am I stupid enough to play this at a Modern PTQ?

Alex - I know next to nothing about Modern, but that deck looks too...fair (to paraphrase your comment about Wescoe's WW Standard deck). That being said, I love all the synergies in the deck.

Next week TH, at least at my LGS.

It's actually pretty unfair against Jund, where most of the decks' 1 for 1 removal no longer works. It folds hard to Pyroclasm postboard though, so maybe I shouldn't play it...

My deck is shitting on me today. I drew 7 land in a row vs. Pyromaster's Ascension storm to lose round 1.

Seek vengeance by winning with Dynacharge. Bitches cry when they lose to Dynacharge.

We're in the same daily!

I'm having a little better luck though. Just ripped the third land off the top G3 to kick bushwhacker and a cackler (FORGIVE ME ALEX) for 16 damage T5.

I'm playing my 19 land burn deck, which is extra daggers in my side when I flood.

My LGS is getting horrendously noncompetitive. They're doing drafts every Friday along with standard/modern, and many of the good players just choose to draft. I won the standard event with KDW after playing a guy in the last round with Cackler, Noble, BTE, Domri and Thragtusk maindeck, and Chandra's Phoenix sideboard. He also had 3 Mizzium Mortars and 1 FotF in the side (I looked at it after the games), which he neglected to put in while he was on the draw game 2 in place of his Cacklers!
Also, my first Standard FNM post-M14. Burning Earth IS as awesome as you guys say it is, and new KDW is almost as good as the December '12 version. It just feels so good to play a deck you know so well.

Other highlights include the guy that played Dega Midrange against me saying "I like to think of it as really a Jund deck, because it plays just like Jund" and "I really wish I'd have just built Jund instead."
Oh, and the one guy there that had been playing for over 10 years and seems to know the game better than anyone else decided to quit constructed magic (happened about a month ago), partly because control was no longer that good in standard, and he also says that none of the other formats are fun anymore either. This kind of disappoints me as well, since he was always a fair player who knew all of the rules, and I usually got paired against him at some point in most FNMs, and the games were typically the most enjoyable ones of the night.

Freedom:

I think that finding a scrubby, uncompetitive LGS might be the best way to win your way into Modern

Posted: **Sat Aug 03, 2013 7:52 pm**

As it turns out, the Modern players are much better than the Standard players. Hmm, maybe that should be my strategy...win my way into Modern through Standard. My one problem is that the store is out of red fetches.

Jund sided in ancient grudge against my signal pests? The rest of my dudes killed him because he wasted a turn playing artifact removal against a chainwalker-mauler-loyalist battalion. Getting paaaaid.

Posted: **Sat Aug 03, 2013 8:12 pm**

Got a 2nd round bye. Fucked the empty chair UP.

Posted: **Sat Aug 03, 2013 8:18 pm**

Keep it up, Ham

Posted: **Sat Aug 03, 2013 8:38 pm**

Now I'm stuck on 2 land on turn 7. Daggers, pt. 2!

HAM FIGHTING

I got stepped on by Goblins.

Posted: **Sat Aug 03, 2013 8:41 pm**

Turn 8 3rd land drop into Ensnaring Bridge against an Etched Champion + Cranial Plating. Daggers to the opponent!

I feel like I'm the only person here not playing AiR in Modern right now.

Posted: **Sun Aug 04, 2013 12:17 am**

Happy anniversary of your birth, Self Medicated!

You're not. We can be Soul Sisters Brothers

Posted: **Sun Aug 04, 2013 12:45 am**

Although I am considering of making an MTGO account, building Modern AiR on the cheap, then winning my way into free cards, Nuwen style.

Posted: **Sun Aug 04, 2013 12:46 am**

I'm enjoying winning my way into the fetchlands that I don't already have (the non-red, naturally).

Posted: **Sun Aug 04, 2013 1:02 am**

I feel like I'm the only person here not playing AiR in Modern right now.

And my mom told me I'd never amount to anything. Look at the trends I'm setting!

Posted: **Sun Aug 04, 2013 1:12 am**

Happy Birthday to Self-Medicated!

I'm also considering jumping onto the MTGO bandwagon.

Posted: **Sun Aug 04, 2013 1:14 am**

lol modern

Posted: **Sun Aug 04, 2013 1:17 am**

I think Modern is my favorite format right now, it's just loads of fun.

Posted: **Sun Aug 04, 2013 1:35 am**

I could maybe get into modern, but I find legacy way too much fun. Also no one here plays modern anyways.

Posted: **Sun Aug 04, 2013 1:35 am**

Taking a break from playing some Modern with my buddies right now. Fucking Goblins are just steamrolling everything, lol.

Lolz of the night so far:

Dropping a Shared Animosity with 6 dudes on the table, one being Legion Loyalist.

Siding in Faerie Macabre to surprise buttsex the Assault Loam and Gifts decks.

Going absolutely bonkers with Spikeshot Elder.

Turn 4 23 damage to demoralize my Jund buddy.

Posted: **Sun Aug 04, 2013 1:38 am**

Goblins are one of the main reasons I love me some Modern.

Posted: **Sun Aug 04, 2013 1:39 am**

My new favorite card? Foundry Street Denizen. Guy is so house if he's not stopped.

Posted: **Sun Aug 04, 2013 1:41 am**

By the by, anyone have interest in doing a clan tournament? I was thinking and brushing around a few ideas, and wanted to know all of your guys' thoughts on it before I get too deep. What do you think about the idea?

Posted: **Sun Aug 04, 2013 1:42 am**

Wouldn't work for me since I don't MTGO.

Yet.

I'm also pretty inept at figuring out Cockatrice.
