just when you think youve gone and played a nonmeta deck #blameLSV

UB isn't really non-meta at all. The deck that LSV plays in that video is Cifka's 60 from the world championships.

It is in the current meta -- Esper was the only thing even close to being a top tier deck running UB and even that isn't played anymore.

T1 Swamp
T1 Forest, Arbor Elf
T2 Island, Augur, grab Warped Physique
T3 Forest, Strangleroot Geist, attack with both... quit game?
Cockatrice is not the best testing environment.
[edit] Played a few more times and wow, this deck is fun.

the world champs was specifically a meta in which a team could NOT use more than 4 of any card across the three of them...
I'd hardly call that "standard meta"
Esper hasn't been on the radar for months really and UB definitely isn't a deck that people are familiar with.

that small tournament that was 90% jund UWR, and then Kibler's deck, Wescoe's deck, and Edel's Naya? Yeah I don't think there was UB in there?
So high, so low, so many things to know.

Put together a cheap mono green infect deck for Modern on MTGO but man it's not that great :\
I mean I won a couple games just because I turn 2'd him but I don't have a sideboard yet which is problem #1 and problem #2 is FUCK SPELL SNARE IN THE BUTT
Instant (24)
4x Apostle's Blessing
4x Giant Growth
4x Groundswell
4x Mutagenic Growth
4x Predator's Strike
4x Rancor
Creature (16)
4x Blight Mamba
4x Glistener Elf
4x Ichorclaw Myr
4x Necropede
Land (20)
20x Forest
Anyone have ideas for a cheap sideboard? Or any cards they'd let me use that would go well with the deck? I know Inkmoth Nexus is one of the first things I need to put in.
Did fine in the just for fun queue; did a 2-man to see how the deck does and I won G1, lost G2 very narrowly (fucking 9 infect counters and I topdecked 4 forests in a row, no pump spells), G3 I got stomped by Tarmogoyf & Spell Snare, good lord

Add Young Pyromancer. You're gonna need more instants and sorceries, so switch some pump stuff out for Remand, Spell Snare, Mana Leak and Probe. Since you're running those, go ahead and add Delver and Telling Time over the infect stuff. Clique is also good here
The mana needs to be fixed though, so grab some Scalding Tarn and Misty Rainforest. I don't even know why you're running Forests in UR Tempo, you're only using Rainforest to fetch Islands...

Phew, those lands.
Maybe I can do:
-2 Apostle's Blessing
-2 Giant Growth
-4 Predator's Strike
+4 Might of Old Krosa
+4 Vines of Vastwood
I really really want to run 4 Inkmoth Nexus but they're $3 a pop right now so I'm going to have to hold off
The goal here is to play this deck and win just enough times to start picking up cards for Tron

I dont think that will happen. Also, I'm pretty sure BV has mono U tron online. Maybe if you asked him pretty please he'd let you borrow it.

I have UR Cloudpost. It's Pauper, but might still have useful trades.
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.

Actually, Sisters is my current online list, but I will happily lend it out.

I read some of these clownies, like that one guy who was all "lol so yeah chandra is a lot stronger than I though, my initial read on her was terribad. Now let me replace hellrider with her and go full clownmode in the OTHER direction" and wonder why anyone would ever pay them for this content

You can also check out A.J. Sacher streaming on twitch. He run infect in a few online PTQs, so you can go watch those.

Standard Pauper MTGO Tourney , winner gets a Taiga. If anyone's interested.
Don't think I wanna buy an MTGO account just for this, although Standard Pauper sounds fun.

FWIW Tiaga is only worth about 10-15 tix online, so this prize isn't nearly as good as it sounds.
