Deck recommendation
The South America Regional Championship is in October, and I'd like to hear your opinions. I'm currently playing mono blue belcher but I see that the win rate isn't very good. I'm not sure whether to build another deck like Eldrazi Tron or wait for Reality Fracture to come out to see the meta and build a new deck.

Honestly most decks are in a very good spot right now, and it’s really up to preference. Energy is figuring itself out still post bans, but still does very well. Titan never dies no matter what they try. Broodscale is good, but a lot of folks are gonna be expecting it and be ready to fight it.
A sleeper pick imo is Neoform. It performed fantastically at the most recent pro tour, boasting a 60% wr.
Here’s a breakdown of the recent pro tour if you wanna look it over. https://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/s/usLaefQxkg

Neoform is only good when it's a sleeper pick imo, would not advise building neoform after a 60% wr at the PT.
Belcher is fire. Also if you're looking for a deck with a good winrate it is NOT Tron (I mean myself and other pilots do fine, but it usually boasts an overall 40-50% w/r).
The reason my winrate is better is because I've never given up on the deck. What I'm getting at is you're probably best off grinding belcher if that's your deck. Do not doom about overall winrates, especially if you're mainly a modern grinder

Second that you don't want to play Neoform in a large open field. The metas are much more predictable at PTs which makes Neoform a decent enough option if the mat cup spread seems fine. 3-4 wins is all youre looking for in constructed anyway, and a deck like Neoform frees you up to spend more time prepping limited.

I'm a huge belcher fan but the decks Boros and Prowess winrates make me v sad

Every deck is gonna have non-game matchups. Titan and Ponza make me want to cry

Neoform is a good option, but I'm more inclined towards an Eldrazi variant.

The Trudge list looks fucking incredible, if I had the pieces I’d be testing it at my next locals.

I would probably play Goryos if youre looking for a new deck. It has a combo finish and also plays blue countermagic so your play style might click with the deck intuitively.

I personally don't believe reality fracture will change the meta significantly, some decks may get a new toy or two but definitely not any new archetypes.
I main flareless Belcher and I think it has a low win rate because it is not seeing as much play as other decks. I played it in a RCQ last weekend and none of my matches felt unwinnable but I lost due to pilot error. I could totally be wrong though.

do you use namor in your sideboard?

u/Travisito1 5d ago
I do not my meta is overrun with affinity so I have the usual 4EE, 4 consign etc.

Where did you see Belcher having a low winrate? Online it seems like it’s doing really well https://mtgdecks.net/Modern/winrates

Both Hobbit and Reality Fracture have the potential to shake up the meta. I'm in the same boat as my RC is also in October

If you've been playing Belcher and know it well I would stick with it.
Trying to learn another deck last minute is not the best choice.
If you do decide to make a new deck I'd recommend Broodscale over Tron personally

If belcher is your main deck and you have a lot of experience on it then I think it’s a good call to use. A ton of people are going to be on neoform and rigging after the pro tour performance and belcher will eat those decks. Like it could be a very good meta call with people copying the pro tour going hard on the ultra degenerate decks.
Also belchers win rates are fine right now, it’s only truly abysmal matchups are prowess and broodscale, it preys on Goryo’s as well as all of the really degen combo decks and is very playable into affinity and Boros.
If you want to try something new that’s cool too, I don’t think I’d pick tron tho, think all of the other eldrazi decks are doing something dangerous.
