For the record, my latest list dropped Sygg for an echoing truth in the main and I tweaked the side to include a copy of Detention Sphere(three mana enchantment in my aggro deck, I know). Also, dropped RIP for Relic--cantrips are good.

I'm playing burn at the PTQ in a few weeks.

Zero fucks given.

I was on black-white that I borrowed for FNM last night.

I did ok, 3-1. Lost to some random kid with a 70 card pile o' random cards. So, the deck is good. Breaking news.

You wouldn't believe the match against the pile though. I feel sad man.

Hey Shea, if you're still interested in buying power on MTGO I have an Ancestral Recall I just cracked and am looking to move. Hit me up before Monday or I'll find some generic buyer to take it off my hands.

I want to play a snap-bolt control shell in modern without twin or white. Wat do.

Debonair Danny DiPietro · Post Post #4381 (ISO) » Sat Aug 16, 2014 1:08 pm

Is it "without white" or "without a third color"?

Natirasha · Post Post #4382 (ISO) » Sat Aug 16, 2014 8:56 pm

'without white'

Colonades, paths, etc are too mainstream.

Debonair Danny DiPietro · Post Post #4383 (ISO) » Sun Aug 17, 2014 4:23 am

Add Black then and play Cruel Control?

Natirasha · Post Post #4384 (ISO) » Sun Aug 17, 2014 9:02 am

Seems clunky. I'm thinking some sort of rug midrange abomination ATM.

Burning_Earth · Post Post #4385 (ISO) » Sun Aug 17, 2014 8:59 pm

That seems... more clunky.

You could play burn with those cards I guess...

I got this http://940ee6dce6677fa01d25-0f55c912997 ... 112136.jpg for $2 at a local used bookstore. I didn't even realize that a bunch of the cards in it were just randos from Onslaught someone threw in there when they sold it to the store in addition to the 7th edition starter set. One of those cards is a Wooden Foothills. Pretty cool.

I mean... Congrats on getting a 40$ card for 2$? (not to mention other stuff.)

I'm going to Indy for the PTQ and WMCQ next weekend, if anyone will be in town let me know.

I think bolt is a bad card to be building a game plan around, the card is so good that it's largely pushed the stuff it's actually great against out of the meta. If I was going to cut a colour from uwr it would be the red.

Debonair Danny DiPietro · Post Post #4391 (ISO) » Mon Aug 18, 2014 10:23 am

Just play UR Tempo then? 4x of Delver, Young Pyro, and Snapcaster; season with instants and sorceries to taste.

This is one of the lists I've been considering. The other is Huntmaster RUG(reddit post on guy who t4'd a ptq with it today).

Bolt is lackluster right now in modern, but it goes to the face too! Flame Slash is really good, though.

I have an internalized hatred for Sphinx's Revelation and Geist of St Traft so if I could go the rest of my career never seeing those two cards, I would be a happy woman.

Burning_Earth · Post Post #4394 (ISO) » Mon Aug 18, 2014 8:29 pm

Revelation is the most awesome card in the universe. Like c'mon man. The feeling when you draw all those cards.

Geist is unfun though yeah

ISO · Post Post #4395 (ISO) » Tue Aug 19, 2014 3:10 am

If you cut red you lose some of your best sb cards like anger of the gods, keranos and counterflux and combust.

Why not run all the red fetches?

ISO · Post Post #4398 (ISO) » Fri Aug 22, 2014 8:53 am

Because its not necessary, and I'm letting my buddy borrow my tarns for twin, where it decidedly IS necessary.

bv310 · Post Post #4399 (ISO) » Fri Aug 22, 2014 9:59 am

That list looks legitimately fun. I'm psyched for the winter, when I'm not out working at summer camp every week and can play competitive stuff again.
