Jetlag trophy with Esper (not that) GenericBlink. Beat Goryos three times this league — who needs graveyard hate anyway? @fireshoes

@provatinos @fireshoes I think TS can be underwhelming in decks that cannot close the games quickly, because most decks are very redundant and resilient to TS. The meta is populated with tron and belcher, so I liked phantoms better as they naturally synergises with the deck and increases tempo

@Alejandrofp_mtg @fireshoes Why no ts?

Top 8 in today’s challenge with my personal brew. GGs to awesome opponents—still hate mill. 😅

@aochv1 @fireshoes Against any particular deck? I am still figuring some things out myself, but for most matchups the sideboard seems relatively intuitive.

@Alejandrofp_mtg @fireshoes Any tips on sideboarding?

@Gregoriusil_ @fireshoes At the end of the day, this is a solitude + ephemerate deck. You need the white card count to be high. That’s the reason for NML

@Alejandrofp_mtg @fireshoes No more lies > counterspell?

@Nicolol237 Wow 2x 2-0 against tron. That seems like a tough matchup! What's your argument for not running much countermagic? Thanks!

6th🏆 5-0! Don’t be afraid to pitch the Elementals, and if you can, wait until turn two to play Suppression Ray as your land drop, so you can decide whether to keep it to pitch in order to protect your planeswalkers on turn three. #MTGModern #UWNarset @fireshoes

Trophied with Goryo’s today! 🏆 Riddler slots perfectly into the shell—excited to keep refining the list!

Finished 22nd out of 220 players at the AU RC with Esper Pixie 🧚 Stock up >>>> Entity tracker

Control players rejoice: Azorius Control is 5-0 at the ANZ Super Series Finals in the hands of Alejandro De La Fuente! It's a classic list, featuring a ton of planeswalkers backed up by instant-speed interaction, and has better mana than ever thanks to the new Floodfarm Verge.

Was 0-1-1 and rattled off 7 straight wins at the RC. The r1 draw was a blessing in disguise as it put me in the UW bracket, which I definitely took advantage of 😅 looking to keep the hot streak going tomorrow! 🫡

@HouseOfManaMTG Congrats! What are the main changes you would make?

also this was horribly misbuilt and i would change like 10-15 cards i think

won the pioneer challenge with rakdos transmogrify. have been enjoying playing this deck a lot especialy since the release of duskmourn, dont think valgavoth is worth giving up jegantha, would prob lock this in for DC if i was queued. might write an article on the patreon for it

Top 8 with Jeskai Control, losing both times against mill

Hi everyone, Thank you for all the support! I’ve seen a lot more people on the list doing well including another first place in yesterday’s challenge with the same75🏆 thank you for being patient I wanted to thoroughly detail the deck, article + guide will be up in 24hours!

Second trophy with Jeskai control! The deck feels excellent (if you manage to dodge Eldrazi) Sweet list by @SergioGarciaJ12

@Soryu002 @SergioGarciaJ12 @fireshoes Also, Charmaw almost always comes in a turn after Mycospawn, weakening the card's value against Eldrazi. Adding Mystical dispute instead

@Soryu002 @SergioGarciaJ12 @fireshoes You might not need the March main deck. Swap 1 wrath for supreme to increase the blue count. Brainsurge is appealing, but I can be a liability against the increasing bowmaster meta, so changing Foundry for Monumental henge to try to find the ring more consistently

Got the trophy with the invaluable help of @SergioGarciaJ12. A few deck inconsistencies need to be fixed from this list, but the core is excellent

@unbreakeablewit @fireshoes March: instant-speed "ending" that allows you to deal with moon effects and Ring Brainsurge: the "fifth ring" for those matchups you cannot tap out or need to find the turn4 answer (wrath/ring) Tish: replaces the one-off Soli as a better card against Ring decks and Eldrazi

@Alejandrofp_mtg @fireshoes How were March tidebinder and brainsurge 😂

4-0 in my local Modern League with Jeskai control! The core is solid; tuning the final slots depends on the meta and playstyle. Don't be afraid to experiment! I tried March, Tishana, and Brainsurge last night, and they felt great. Happy to answer questions about deck decisions!

@mtg_decade It's better against moon effects when you only have one Plains (or float white in response). Decent against Ring decks (especially game one), as you can pitch Wraths. Ideal for instant-speed answers (hasted Phlage, flipping Ajani, etc). Worse against turn-one threats on the draw.

@Alejandrofp_mtg Hello. In what situations was march better than ending?
