To elaborate, it's basically Modern Tempered Steel (with Ethersworn Canonist, Master of Etherium, and Court Homonculus along with all the standard staples) plus Erayo, Soratami Ascendant, who, with a billion spells costing 1 or less, is easy to flip and along with Canonist, provides a soft lock on your opponent: the first spell of every turn is countered and players can't play more than 1 nonartifact spell...good luck if you aren't affinity  | ||

Red Affinity (w/ Atog, Fling, Shrapnel Blast, Galvanic Blast, Blood Moon) is probably the cheapest competitive deck to build in Modern. Zoo is probably the most expensive (Jund also up there), though I guess some of the 4+ color control decks are getting up there now that they are running Liliana. The 18 point lists at Worlds were Tzu-Ching Kuo's red Affinity, Shuhei Nakamura's 4CC, Scott Richards' RUG Faeries/Delver, and Andrew Roistan's Boom//Bust Zoo. The cheapest deck out of those by far is Affinity. | ||

Also, I was wondering if people would be down to set up a "for-fun" cockatrice draft this weekend using ccgdecks, with me and a couple friends I know. We wanna draft a bunch but don't have the money, and the bots on ccgdecks tend to draft poorly, so we just need more people willing to competently draft with us. | ||

so proud of Conley and PV in particular.. Tempered Steel is not a comfortable deck choice for either of them, yet they buckled down and bulldozed the field with it. sick meta choice and now the team wont have to run white weenie for a long time as their display with they deck should firmly plant itself in the memory of the competitive world. | ||

I need to sort through these cards to actually make a deck, also not sure, maybe might play some drafts or somethiing to get more cards.... I guess I'll be doing 2012 since my playstyle has been/currently is something like aggro/burn type, and apparently 2012 is just like from what i get... beatdown or something, so it should be easier to transition to, than jumping right into standard (when I haven't played for months... 2-3?) on another note... http://www.gatheringmagic.com/when-ahead-stay-ahead/ SC2 reference!.... semi old post apparently, but I'm like going through ALL posts that look interesting on multiple websites for MTG so I can get back into the game o_O idk... I just found it was kinda funny~ oo | ||

Only reason I would prefer that is because spell snare would kill my heartless summoning deck I am brewing up right now. That and it might make control way too strong. | ||

http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Archive.aspx?tag=buildingonabudget&description=Building on a Budget Are these decks (for standard at least) actually decent/able to get 4-0's or 3-1's in tournaments on mtgo (Constructed 8 or whatever) ? | ||

imo if you have budget restraints, you are saving more money in the long-term by just getting actual good cards over time rather than dumping money right now into a bad deck that won't have a great win% anyways, then spending more money entering tournaments with a bad deck also GW tokens and UW Illusions are two of the most popular decks, which means every round of a tournament you are either going to play against a better, more resilient aggro deck and/or a deck that is metagamed to beat aggro decks | ||
