@Mengu09 Huge surprise! Maybe rhinos and living end where keeping modern alive 😝 . Now what version? Domain Rhinos with no phlage

OH MY FXXXXING GOD!!!!

@SaffronOlive Never would have bet on violent outburst! Rhinos and living end keeping the format in check

No Standard changes, but excited for some Modern unbans! magic.wizards.com/en/news/announ…

@SaffronOlive Standard both storm chaser and artist talent, badger mole, omniscience (for future design) maybe riddler Modern: guide of souls, amulet, mox opal ( never should of been unbanned) Unban pod and jitte Above will not happen except for maybe the unbans

Ban list update today! Expecting no changes in Standard (hoping for at least Stormchaster's Talent to get hit, although I have low confidence that solves the Izzet issue). Would love to see more unbannings in Modern.

@Isaac_tietz @fireshoes I been thinking about stock with EE and push in the board. Too many people play prowess in my meta for it do ok. I do like the bowmasters in the deck, but often times wanted to hit fbthp

@NathanMcC85 @fireshoes Even or better against everything that’s not Affinity, Prowess, and Boros. Kaito was just an experiment. Stock Simic is likely better.

5-0 with Sultai Ritual. Bowmasters fixes the Boros matchup (I always thought it was a skill-issue matchup anyway). While I didn't play against Boros this league, I have been beating it. Dodged Prowess and Affinity so never felt like I struggled. @fireshoes #mtg #mtgModern

@MeninooNey This version seems spot on!

🥳🏆TOP 8° MODERN CHALLENGER 12/05🏆🥳 Hello my friends, unfortunately I lost in the first round of the Top 8 to a Boros Energy deck that I had beaten in the Swiss rounds, but I’m very happy with the changes I made and I feel confident going into the next tournaments with it. We keep going, friends! patreon.com/c/u86976625 @fireshoes

@Isaac_tietz @fireshoes *good

@Isaac_tietz @fireshoes In a vacuum what is this deck food against? I love it, but can’t see why to play it. Is the one of ninja worth it?

@OfficialJoel4_ Orlando

No words begins with O and end with O Prove me wrong!!

@fireshoes @karsten_frank What a bad meta, it’s crazy that 4th turn living end deck isn’t even close to best deck in standard.

@FetchAndShock @fireshoes I seen tasigur in a few builds recently. How does it feel in the deck and ever his is ability?

Not to be outdone by the other frog players, I went out and won my RCQ with Dimir Tasi-Frog. Any weird changes can be chalked up to "local meta considerations". Tasigur go brrt. @fireshoes to spread the word Psychic Frog moxfield.com/decks/JdynI8Yg… Decklist for the interested.

@SaffronOlive Negate should shine from the SB

Today on Best Standard Deck Ever it's one of the oddest matchups up of the first round: Erhnam-Geddon land destruction from 1996 against Domain Ramp from 2024. What's your pick? Erhnam-Geddon (1996): #paper" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mtggoldfish.com/deck/7586411#p… Domain (2024): #paper" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mtggoldfish.com/deck/7586522#p…

@SaffronOlive I remember in the old days when standard was bad , everyone played block until it changed. Almost wonder what’s decklists would be if it was just Lorwyn and strixhaven, turles and avatar.

I honestly think the odds are in favor of returning to two-year Standard. It might take another year or two, but I expect it to happen.

@SaffronOlive I will say a lot of the uncommons are rares are better. The mythic slot is almost like winning lottery on getting a decent one.

On average you'll open 3 rare Mystical Archives and 1 mythic Mystical Archive in a play booster box. Last time we went to Strixhaven it was an average of 8 rare and 2 mythics per box, so it's roughly twice has hard (a bit worse really) to pull the good stuff this time.

@SaffronOlive I thought the same thing, seemed it was an opportunity to the other colors. The amount of decks that have to use starting town and multiverse passage for a decent mana base is bad.

I really don't understand what Wizards is doing with manabases in Standard. With the release of Secrets of Strixhaven five two color combinations have both a fastland and a slowland, while the other five don't have either. The imbalance is really odd.

@andrewnwq01 @__Boland__ Ever feel like you wanted the green lesson for the naturalize effect? Attachments and wisdom lessons seem slow, so I like the 1 mana approach with just the one quench ya.

@__Boland__ Is academic dispute great?

Trophy'd a Modern MTGO league with my new build of Lessons Prowess last night 🔥 Defeated: Jeskai, Living End, Boros, Zoo, Emry/Grinding Station (Paper deck pic because it's cooler)

@Mengu09 @MagicOnline Me like! Never really loved the riddler version (even though it’s good).

Is Flow State good in Modern? Let’s try it out today at the Early Access of @MagicOnline in UB Froculus! Live @ twitch.tv/andreamengucci

@SaffronOlive I think a majority of the cards can be printed in standard or at least a special sheet overtime. Would physcatog be a rare? Powder keg a mythic

As much as I don't put any money making scheme past Wizards, there's no way they'd do Premodern Horizons because it wouldn't actually make them much money because the community would reject it. Premodern Masters would be great though, and at this point it's badly needed.

@SaffronOlive We needed another good izzet card 🤓

After playing with Resonating Lute, yup, it feels pretty busted. We'll see how it does outside of early access, but the ceiling is incredibly and I've seen it in several different shells already.

@Mengu09 @FetchAndShock Casey seems like a good untility card for sure, but it seems like someone (not you) keeps pushing the card hard like they have a very vested stock in it. That being said I could see it being the best in this deck

Casey Jones is a really good card and this Grixis Froculus list from @FetchAndShock uses it really well! Let’s play it! Live @ twitch.tv/andreamengucci

@MeninooNey Sweet list! I like the include of wistfulness and the extra cascade and cutting down speaker. Ever get to put the silence to work?

🥳🏆TOP 8° MODERN CHALLENGER 13/04🏆🥳 Hello my friends, I finally managed to get a Top 8 after finishing 9th twice in a row with this list. Now I feel confident with it—I made my adjustments and I’m very satisfied. I’ve just posted the updated April sideboard guide, and I also recorded my Top 8 match and uploaded it to Patreon. If you support me and want to watch it, just head over there. From now on, I’ll be recording games and posting them there. big hug to everyone! patreon.com/c/u86976625 @fireshoes
