Magic: The Gathering,GO TEAM MS!

[Natirasha]

I could just build Sultai since I literally own the whole deck sans Polluted Delta, but man Elspeth is so strong and playing counterspells seems so bad right now.

Streaming an M15 sealed pool right now if anyone wants to watch me scrub out.

[Thestatusquo]

Alternatively, I sell off everything I have a buy into Modern.

If you have shocklands that also goes a long way to buying into modern. Once you have the shocks and fetches you need everything that doesnt have goyf is buildable for a few hundred bucks.

[Natirasha]

Modern is the way of the future and the best format to get into long-term I think.

(Although I keep having this weird dream where Wizards is planning on bringing back Extended in like 5 years)

[xRECKONERx]

My problem is I have thoughtseize downfall caryatid and courser but no Elspeths and I really don't want to acquire Elspeths.

I have 2-3 Elspeths!

I am interested if we can come to a relatively cost-efficient number!

There was an Esper control list in either a future league or maybe a tcgplayer event last weekend that only ran one Elspeth. 3 Ashiok, two ProgSphinx, the rest was spells. Don't have a link on-hand.

@reck:

4 Foundry Street Denizen
4 Firedrinker Satyr
4 Monastery Swiftspear
4 Akroan Crusader
4 Satyr Hoplite
4 Dragon Mantle
4 Coordinated Assault
4 Hammerhand
4 Titan's Strength
4 Stoke the Flames
20 Mountain

Saito mono-red sligh list, could adjust if necessary. Most expensive card there is Stoke the Flames at $3-$4 (unless you want to pimp out your deck with Zen lands).

Could also try mono-B aggro without Thoughtseize? Not amazing and a little less budget, but do-able.

4 Tormented Hero
4 Bloodsoaked Champion ($4-$5/ea)
4 Gnarled Scarhide
4 Pain Seer (~$1)
4 Spiteful Returned
4 Mardu Skullhunter
4 Herald of Torment (~$1)
4 Mogis' Marauder
2 Despise
2 Bile Blight
2 Hero's Downfall ($8-$9) [can use Murderous Cut but beware of Pain Seer)
22 Swamp (maybe 20 with 2 black scrylands or lolRadiantFountain)

You can also price out the Robots list I posted a page or so back, but I think tcgplayer wanted like 30-45 for the cards I was missing (which was 90% M15 and KTK).

[InflatablePie]

also I bought a set of Rabblemasters on a whim at $2/ea before it spiked during m15, I kind of want to play with them but on the other hand locking in 500% profit seems good if I'm mostly just playing monoB aggro (local buylist is offering $12/rabble, highest buylist I can find online is 9-10/ea)

[edit]
Rabblemasters 12/ea (have 4)
Caryatid 10/ea (have 4)
Coursers 14/ea (have 4)
Ashiok 9/ea (have 2)
Downfalls 6/ea (have 1 extra)
Stormbreaths 10/ea (have 5)
Brimaz 18/ea (have 1)

I feel like these are all good sells if I'm not planning on playing Rabbles or green. Tempted to wait a week for the Pro Tour to see if Stormbreath spikes but I can see it falling/not spiking much since most people seem to prefer Sarkhan.

[Shanba]

I just wanna run standard decks that play dig through time.

[Knight of Cydonia]

I'm putting together Constellation "Storm" for something to do for the first few months of Standard, then when Caryatid and Rabblemaster inevitably peak out I'll sell the 3 playsets of both I have off and use the money to either finish my RG Tron list or make a start on Manaless Dredge to take to the local GP. People were literally giving their Buy-A-Box promo Rabblemasters away in my store (thank god for casuals) and I picked another playset of regular ones up when they were about £3 each. I also traded for a set of Caryatids the guy valued at £5 each a week before rotation... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Thestatusquo]

Wait.

Rabblemaster is 12 NOW?

[Anatole Kuragin]

that's a buylist price tsq

[chamber]

which makes sense given rabbles are selling for like 16.

[Debonair Danny DiPietro]

Going to be streaming a KTK PPTQ in five minutes, link is in the sig.

EDIT: Apparently XSplit and Twitch aren't going to play nice for me so no stream.

[Thestatusquo]

I have like 14 of them....

uhhh. Good use of 20 bucks I guess. Excuse me whilst I go dump them all RIGHT NOW.

[InflatablePie]

Yeah, easiest $40 I ever made.

Going to Thurs night Magic with mono B aggro and 3 maindeck Boon of Erebos. Hope this goes well.

[InflatablePie]

Round one bye. I guess when you have 11 players (GP Orlando is this weekend, may be relevant) a free win is fine

[Natirasha]

I like the Boon of Erebos builds of mono black more.

I actually really like the versions running Agent of Fates the most.

[InflatablePie]

Not sure if I like Agent.

Running 11 one drops (THero sucks with Marauder), Pain Seer and Spiteful, Herald and Marauder, 3 tseize, 3 Boon, 4 Downfall, one Whip.

SB is 1 tseize, 2 Despise. 2 Dark Betrayal, 2 Bile Blight, 2 Pharikas Cure. Three Master of the Feast, two Hall of Triumph, one Whip.

Considering Empty the Pits if I drop whip, also considering Haruspex.

[bv310]

Aww, Brian Wong's stepping down as cohost of LR. Planning to come on once per set-ish.

Hoping Jon Loucks comes back?

[InflatablePie]

Came in 3rd of 11.

R1 - bye
R2 - Naya Midrange, won 2-0 (topdeck Hornet Queen? np, topdeck Mogis' Marauder)
R3 - Abzan Midrange, lost 1-2 and was paired down (Sorin is a card )
R4 - Rabble Red, won 2-0

Apparently my LGS pays out $200 store cred to the top finishers no matter how many, so the top 4 split. Paid $5 for $50 in storecred. Woohoo.

Dark Betrayals and Hall didn't really leave my board all night. Whip got drawn once I think and I never got in a good spot to use it, so I dunno how to feel about it. Boon did some work though; double-Booning a Herald to kill a blocking Arbor Colossus before it could monstrous the next turn felt a little bad, but won me the game.

Masters also didn't leave my board - with Abzan running Murderous Cuts and Downfalls and Naya running Colossus/Hornet Queen/Banishing Light, I could only MAYBE see it being useful in the latter matchup.

We'll see how the deck does once people get back from the GP I guess. Probably going tomorrow because it should be the same turnout or less. Hopefully I can snag some more storecred and be tempted to get a box. $10 for a box seems good if I don't

need

the slightly overpriced singles.

[bv310]

I'd be running Empty the Pits over Whip MB. Empty is just such an insanely good lategame card at instant speed.

I doubt Jon Loucks has the time to prep thoroughly for two podcasts, since he does have a full time job. I expect some guest co-hosts for a couple weeks, especially with the PT right around the corner.

[bv310]

I'm pretty much not in standard right now because everything I had was basically RTR block

Alright then, let's find you a Modern deck. What kind of deck do you want to play? Budget?

(Also, use https://pucatrade.com/invite/gift/12482 if you can't find buyers for your good cards. It takes longer, but you get full value for your cards)
