Any of you play competitive 60 card formats? or are you all commander faggots?
I've played in a few Modern tourneys but that's about it. At this point I think I'm just done with Magic. It's all just netdecks at this point. There's no creativity, no actual deck building. Just see a popular YouTuber play a cool deck that wins and then copy that.

I'm ashamed to say I'm guilty of that too, my Modern deck is Living End with only minor changes.

I play modern using all 5 colors (it's more three with the other 2 there for lifegain reasons).
It works because I abuse mulligans.

I mean yeah when you keep saying you want to ban "overtuned" cards but then keep printing them out it kind of enforces a stagnant meta glued to the ass of the "new" and people will get tired of making new decks if theyre all centered around THE SAME THREE FUCKING CARDS.
Just ask yu-gi-oh.

I guess EDH and commander can still go but at that point I'll just play on xmage with friends fuck that.
 
It looks like WOTC is finally dropping the vaccination and mask requirements for MTG events, for MagicCon next month:

I know that TPC dropped those requirements recently for Pokémon events, but did FGC and Smash drop those requirements yet too?
 
They've done this before with the exact same characters and art IIRC.


I still got a Modern Jund deck sleeved up and an absolutely unviable Dimir Deck for Pioneer that I never left behind because I like Scarab God too much.
Scarab God is still a playable 1 of in Enigmatic Fires of Creation at least. Decent amount of competition for the 5s slot but hey.
 
You don't need to make me feel better, I still play Tarmogoyf in modern in the year of our lord 2023
Goyf is a perfectly playable modern 2-drop, Fatal Push is on the downswing and unholy heat kills everything anyways, only downside is it gets hit with a lot of splash damage due to people boarding in lords of GY Hate.

It has a good rate, but the lack of Evasion really hurts it, I haven't gone full zoomer Jund quite yet however I run a couple of Urza Sagas that I count as spells (that way the mana base doesn't suffer) to fetch a single Shadowspear to give Goyf Trample.

Goyf With Lifelink and Trample is a real threat.

Gotta roll some battles to pitch with lilly with your one-of tarfire. :biggrin:
I unironically think in another year or two a Lurrus Jund build will be playable..so Invasion of Ixalan might be an option.

Jund saga is a good deck not tier 1 but a solid competitive deck for any tournament.

Need more targets than shadowspear should play nihil spellbomb and a pyrite, that way you won't brick with sagas.

Also a saga counts for two bumps for goyf plus one more when you cash in a spellbomb.
 
My condolences
Nah it's pretty great. Don't have to tithe to WOTC anymore, don't have to deal with smelly neckbeards at the local tournament store (yugioh players slather themselves in axe like it's two-thousand-fucking-oh-three). Get to be part of a preferred group, get all the tugboats, etc.

Get on Arena and play Historic where WotC hasn't banned Lurris yet for some reason. Also they are printing That Fucking Monkey into Historic so that's gonna be a time.

Not really, gets shit on by most of the MH2 elementals and doesn't leave any value behind while not advancing any plan that doesn't involve attacking or blocking and has no reach. Murktide Regent fucks like Goyf wishes he could fuck

I got 2 Sagas, a Shadowspear, 2 Baubles in the maindeck, then I got 2 Nihil Spellbombs in the SB for GY hate.

If I get to fully read more than 2 Sagas, running out of Targets likely isn't gonna matter, 3 Sagas are gonna win on their own off constructs or opponent Draws Ratchet Bomb and fucks me. Reid and LSV did a bunch of No-Ban List games that got put on youtube last week and LSV won off a mull to 4 with 2 sagas and an artifact land from Mirrodin against The Eldrazi deck. I think the only thing in Modern that Saga and Artifact Lands couldn't beat out is Hoggak...and I give Saga a chance on that one because Grafdigger's cage is a legal target.

If I wanna play Legacy I will play Legacy on Modo and not Faggot Worse Mana Legacy with Alchemy Shit.

Gimme my elfball deck or go the hell home.
