I decided to roll with Naya to abuse all the Burn, Grx and 1-3 Devour Flesh Bx builds during MOCS1 XD I'll keep testing 2morrow.

Just going pray to dodge control (though its not an impossible MU).

So that means you will be able to play MDU (referring to prior PM)

yep, will I be ready? **** No, I only have today and tomorrow to work out what the meta is and build up a semi-decent SB plan.

Then back into the slave camps until MOCS1 actually starts :no2:

Darn you Z beating me 2-1 in a 8-Man :flame:

Blind Obedience beats Whip of Erebos, makes me want to play R.Bomb.
It was a good match. Your draws after sideboarding we're not great, but I don't think you're ever winning if I resolve blind obedience. Is our tally 2-0 to Zem?

@ Kait, 42 QPs.

I am so pissed that GP Minneapolis is modern...I really do not want to spend $400-500 to play in that event

So you are only 4 cards short for your deck then?

Yea, I need 4 basic islands. I think I could find them on eBay for ~100

Also, why has no one tried nykthos in modern? Is it too slow? Is it because of blood moon? It's such a broken card

Here are your Islands.

As far as Nykthos, I know there is a green devotion deck running around that uses it. Chains stuff together for a massive Genesis Wave or somesuch. MJ was playing it and doing ok for a while. Might be too slow after PT/GP.

I've been brewing a RW lockdown list with Nykthos and a bunch of enchantments, but it isn't as good if you're just using it for creatures. There's so much good removal that relying on creature devotion is a loose play, unless you can use it to combo into a 1 turn kill.

A deck that flickers blood moon out so you can tap nykthos and then looks your opponent out on their turn?

@ Zem - Was just looking at PE events, seems the list did well placing 10th here

by LP, of the Fires
Relevant to Z's interest for modern: http://www.wizards.com/magic/Digital/Ma ... rn/6834296

5th deck is a pretty spicy UB control list. I know my nigga likes him some UB control.

Hard to earn points now.

I am waiting patiently to see if I get 1 or 2 rupees in this 8 man. Must be control in the final based on how long their games are taking :)

Correct the first game we played all those months ago also went 2-1.
MDU, you want in on the rupee count?
If you backtrack a few pages you notice that before I was promoting MODO and LED I manage to hit 15 rupee's within the first week of grinding, though after that I was force on my 1.5 week long break :tears: I'm
slightly more free this week and a little for next week so I'll try and hit 35 QP - the only issue is that all my tickets are stored up in THS so unless they hit 3.5 or more before MOCS4 I won't be able to play it (unless I go with burn....).

Anyhows I got 3 QP yesterday so I'm on 18 QPs.

The shitty UR Delver Fiend deck. I've been winning with it, but god damn, sometimes it's a real shit show.
