Dies to Removal

Rashad should just be banned for life from commentary.

Shenhar playing RWu burn. Boros Charm, Treasure Cruise and secret tech Mutagenic Growth

Good guy Sam Black

Wraptor playing a broken ass deck.

All this while I'm in office.

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!?!

Seriously, fucking Rashad Miller....

I'm hoping wizards just has him under some sort of unbreakable contract for coverage.

Otherwise, they aren't even fucking trying.

He is the fucking worst.

Three UR Storm decks? That was a surprise.

A lot of people picking up RUG Delver as well.

Three UR Storm decks? That was a surprise.

It's not a bad meta call when most decks aren't playing counterspells, the expected meta ISN'T Burn w/ Eidolon, and most decks are relying on creature beats to win games (such as UR Delver).

Shahar Shenhar's deck is amazing lol.

You're goddamn right.


Also, Maverick's post is hilarious and is most likely going to ring true in the next few days when articles start coming out.

UR...U R the best color combo!

It's just that I found UR Delver really hard to beat with Storm when I played it. But that was in the spring, and I wasn't that experienced with the storm deck. So...

Fuck both U and R individually and specifically.

The meta thought this rogue deck was crazy, you'll never believe what it did this weekend!

I thought about making a t-shirt back in the days of the RtR pre-release with a close up of Niv-Mizzet's head with the following text:

Hello. Izzet me you're looking for?

Too cheesy?

Don't be so suburban!

Modern changed drastically after the release of Journey, M15, and especially Khans. Journey brought Burn to tier 1.5-tier 1 status by introducing Eidolon, M15 gave Affinity Ensoul Artifact, and the Khans warped the format with Treasure Cruise, Jeskai Ascendency, Swiftie, and Dig. We are definitely not playing early 2014's Modern format.

Shahar Shenhar's deck is amazing lol.

That deck makes me want to get back into modern.

That's bad and you should feel bad.

Except for the Forked Bolts, Wear//Tear, Electrolyze, Smash to Smithereens, Destructive Revelry, and Shatterstorms...

Kneel before Zod, fucker!

Your Affinity dicks will fall into your Darksteel faces!

Sure, whatever you say, boss.

I love talking Modern with you, Alex.

While you spend your time convincing me about Affinity's inherent dominance, UR Delver continues to push Affinity out out of the format.

I love you, sperglord.

I want you to draw me like one of your French girls.

I may or may not be drinking tonight.

Tap me like the Wild Mongrel that I am.

Burn, however, is an unwinnable matchup and that's where you see Smash so it probably isn't even worth mentioning.

Affinity doesn't lose to Delver as badly when you play blue instead of red cards. You can play the same game they do. Blue also makes you a little better against Ascendancy.

In all fairness, Affinity is still a tough matchup for Burn. SO, yes, regarding the Burn matchup, it's all about the hand.

But with that said, you'll always be my Arrogant Wurm to my Wild Mongrel.

Or, in the supergay community, I'll be your Werebear. Or your Huckleberry. Whichever you prefer.

I feel exactly the opposite about the burn vs. affinity matchup. I lose that matchup every time. I've been testing for two weeks against random MODO daily winning decks and burn is hard as shit to beat. Everything else feels up in the air.

In all super seriousness, what is giving you problems? Affinity is actually tough for me for several reasons. When I have a hand consisting of Forked Bolt, Searing BXXXX, and Grim Lavamncer, it is sometimes easy. Postboard, (when I was playing it) Firedancer just won me games I had no business winning.

On the other hand, I've been beaten silly by the intial turn 1-2 hand-dump followed by an Ensoul or Plating and could never recover. At times, Affinity can race far better than Burn can. ESPECIALLY when Ravager is involved.

I'm not playing the version with all of the direct damage though, I'm playing Mana Leaks.

Well, damn. THAT is why you fail.

As an experienced Burn player, I can say that I will almost win against an inexperienced player playing a tuned list or an experienced player playing a bad list every time. But Purphoros help me if I play an experienced player piloting a decent-to-great list.

Get Rakdos Charmed!

Oops I was a page behind, replying about Alex's assertion that nobody has SB for Affinity.

In Spergland, nobody does.

Shut up you basking rootwalla
