Eh, if I have the choice I'd rather not put $50+ into a deck that will be completely useless in 5 months. If it's a deck that runs some HS cards, that's fine, but something like TyRam, that relies on Typhlosion Prime, is something I'm trying to avoid (or Chandeplume, which relies on Vileplume...

A deck named google... I would love to play that for the sole fact that it shares my name. As far as staples go, well - I have tons of staples from DP/Platinum (used to play LuxChomp before I stopped playing in HGSS), but the only HS/BW staples I have now are 2 Collectors and a set of PONT. I'm...

Hey guys, I'm (possibly) getting back into this (I left around HGSS/Unleashed) and looking through the forums I've seen that almost all the best decks in the format require multiple copies of Mewtwo EX (which I've noticed are $50 a pop). I read a thread similar to this that said the only good...

I think Melira decks are too inconsistent, since your whole strategy falls apart if you don't draw it, or it gets Memoricide'd, Surgically Extracted, or hits a removal spell/boardwipe. Nonetheless, they're really fun to play, and when you can get out your combos it feels pretty good. Melira +...

syneptus Maybe. You don't have to send the cards if the shipping is high.

syneptus Like, the mail returned it?

I did try and make a deck around Thrax before. Do you think he'd be better in a full on sacrifice theme (Geth's Verdict, Chainer's Edict, Butcher of Malakir, etc), or as a secondary theme?

Cool. I've been looking at the different Commanders, and I find Riku isn't really as good copying creatures as spells, and spells aren't as fun for me. Sygg decks generally just play a bunch of small evasive creatures, but don't seem to have many win conditions (yes, I know you can draw into...

My only suggestion. -1 Day of Judgment (move the third one to the side, possibly replacing an Elesh Norn) +1 Mana Leak (4 is basically manditory in the deck)

What does Tempered Steel not beat? It destroys Solar Flare, it's slightly better than Mono-Red (55-45), it beats up any G/W Humans/tokens deck. Against Wolf Run it's generally a toss-up - Tempered Steel wins if they get a turn 3 Steel, Wolf Run wins if they untap with a Titan. People are running...

Doom Blade kills Titan, Wurmcoil, and Nexus. Also, Valakut didn't run any Wurmcoils, and only ran Avenger half the time. I like the Solar Flare list, although in testing it is ridiculously hard to get the mana for a turn 3/4 Liliana, so you might want to cut one. Your manabase seems a bit...

Until it becomes the undisputable BDIF, I'm not calling it Valakut. I think too many things have to go right. Especially when you're only playing two copies of your namesake. Here are some commonly played cards that break the deck: - Memoricide (for Titan/Nexus/Wolf Run) - Dismember (played as...

I think it's a cool deck, and it's definitely powerful, but it isn't Valakut. The reason Valakut was so good was because it's win condition was a land, which was basically impossible to kill without Tec Edge and easy to search out. Wolf Run requires two different nonbasic lands in play, and one...

I haven't seen any decks running Iona - what decks could afford to run a 9 mana creature (other than ramp decks, which don't play White)?

Looking for a cheap Modern deck... thinking of going with RDW, nothing else catches my eye for under $100-150.

Gitaxian Probe: If you feel like you need the draw, by all means play this. I don't think the deck needs it, but that's just my opinion. Nevermore: I wouldn't bother. It's kind of a waste of mana, and Tempered Steel is pretty tight for space. Hovermyr: I actually hadn't thought of this before...

I think Arsonist is better for the mirror, since it can activate Bloodthirst for the Berserker. As for the Tempered Steel deck - too many land. 25 is way high. Without Opals, I'd say max is 22-23 lands. Add a fourth Idol, put the Marrow Shards in the sideboard, along with a few copies of...

Holy crap! Just started my quest to price my entire collection, and found that Stromkirk Noble had shot from around $2 to over $10 almost literally overnight! As for the deck - I like it. A few suggestions, though: - I don't know how good Grim Lavamancer will be without the fetches. You only...

Here's the thing with Hero - I don't really play it to win with it. I literally play it as a four mana burn spell. It's nice if it goes unchecked and wins the game for you, but most of the time your opponent has to kill it, and generally that requires them using Dismember. By the time I'm...

Possibly. I wish they had a two-drop though. That Bear is pretty bad.
