That's not the deck I'm talking about, I'm talking about the 5 clone build with Wurmcoil, Elesh, and Sun Titan at the high end. The wall of omens, Sea gate oracle route. | ||

Solemn(???)->Mulldrifter or Slime->Titan or Engine->Elesh? Any Image in there adds great value but yeah, I think it's too slow. | ||

Traded for ten thundermaws and 104 snapcaster mages. yussss Who was the person in this thread that had a friend that hoarded Snapcasters at the cost of other cards? New cards were spoiled, some fun cards and some serious cards. Soul Ransom seems interesting 4 mana control magic with effectively cycling? Seems pretty good. | ||

Edit: I think it'd smoke RDW and Tron though. | ||

Fun things though, Pod is always fun. Who was the person in this thread that had a friend that hoarded Snapcasters at the cost of other cards?

It's a punisher mechanic, you control their creature until they decided to discard 2 and let you draw 2. So it's not going to save you if you really need it, they won't pay if it doesn't matter, and if you're ahead it doesn't actually close out the game as they CAN pay for it if they need to, and at instant speed no less.

I am not sure if it's still that bad in some match ups. You still take the their biggest/best creature and just attack with it only. | ||

You still take the their biggest/best creature and just attack with it only. It doesn't get haste, they can just discard 2 on your end step (after you spent 4 mana) and get it back and swing with it. Sure, it's 4 mana for Divination + Mind Rot, but if you're getting beat down, that's not really the card you need. | ||

Also, why do they have to print Gruul Charm, like I was all ready to pick up Esper and then I see that. | ||

A few days ago a buddy with 0 magic experience bought a $40 Ravnica box, and traded commons and uncommons with us to build a rakdos deck that completely wrecked (with our help of course). Launch Parties, cacklers, Bloodfrays, and he pulled a Hellkite. | ||

That buddy's deck, do you mean Utvara Hellkite, or did he open something like a Jace that he traded for a Thundermaw? In any case, stuff like Launch Party doesn't seem viable in competitive standard. Utvara certainly is not. | ||

Also I've been waiting for wizards to crack and print a card that can target hexproof dudes, but that card seems a bit narrow lol | ||

At least this is a nice sideboard card for anyone whose Modern meta is full of boggles lol Also, Gruul Charm is such a weird. Take control of permanents you own, wut. More than that, the fact that they're pushing hexproof alongside printing this card just shows how much they want to create chase rares. And Gruul Charm is good against control magic and spells that create tokens for your opponent like the RAV Hunted cycle. | ||
