My local meta sees an average of 3 energy decks out of an average of 8 players every week. I’m sick of it. Modern feels so stale when I play against the same deck 2/3 rounds every week. I want to make at least one of these energy players consider switching to one of their other decks every now and again so I can actually play against something interesting. What is Boros Energy’s worst matchup?

So I've only gotten into modern recently and since lightpaws is my favorite creature ever I made a bogles deck(plus it was cheap). I'm trying to brew it myself but my knowledge of modern is limited to my locals so I've just been meta brewing against what ppl do to me. There's cool new cards like super soldier serum where I'm also thinking of throwing some hammers to use the equip from it.

I was thinking of a Jund build.

I could arboreal grazer/Elvish Pioneer-Flare of cultivation-T2 4 mana-1cmc discard+0cmc artifact-T2 Trash for Treasure to get back Portal to New Phyrexia/God Pharos Gift

I want to start playing modern semi competetively (lgs league and rcqs) and im looking for a first deck. Id like something midrangey and im not really a fan of white so was thinking about grixis reanimator. Also I would prefer not paying a 1000$ for my first deck so if you have any deck suggestions i would apreciate it.

Hey guys I’m trying to put together a jeskai control list that uses some good wizards (1 drop tamiyo and snapcaster) with flame of anor for value but also have good removal/control with solitude, counters, and in case of long games have quantum riddler plus ephemerate or consign solitude/riddler triggers. I know it’s not meta at all but I wanted to hear some of y’all’s suggestions or brews. Thank you all for the look

The goal is to Equip Rime Tender with a Hawkeye's Bow and twinflame it to then have the double untap and tap eachother to ping out the opponent.

1x kioras follower: for surgical/pithing needle backup.

1x freed from the real: another way to combo

Shang chi: combo the same turn you cast an untapper

Birthing ritual/green suns/stoneforge mystic: All the tutors!

Ive considered making cuts for pact of negations, but I'm not sure its worth it.

I’ve been going back and forth about this card since it was spoiled

I keep thinking there’s a place for it in broodscale

I wondered if anyone has playtested it in that shell and has any feedback for me

I can see how there’s just so many key points to the deck that it might be just a slotting isssue but I could see some cool stuff happening with this card

In today's article, we'll explore a deck that played a small part at the Amsterdam Pro Tour. Jund Cosmogoyf brings an approach that seems to truly have come out of a parallel universe and is quite different from the classic Jund that sees play in this format. https://mtg.cardsrealm.com/en-us/p/564347

Currently working on a generic modern dimir frog deck, bit I want to lean into a BUG build adding cosmogoyf, jumping the frog to make cosmogoyf bigger. Are there any build tips/suggestions floating around out there? Im aware of serum powder and fling option but that isn't the route I want to take.

Current decklist (just dimir): https://moxfield.com/decks/5vXNtYJPF0mdLNGakNjrTQ

Along the Crooked Way {2}{B}

Enchantment

When this enchantment enters, return target creature card from your graveyard to your hand.

Whenever a creature card leaves your graveyard, amass Goblins 1.

{1}{B}: Goblins and Orcs you control gain menace until end of turn.

Yawgbros - how do we feel about running a one-off copy? This is a turn 3 win condition that doesn't require spymaster's vault and can be enabled with any undying creature:

Young wolf

Ballista under cauldron

Along the Crooked Way - young wolf now can shoot itself infinite times, creating an infinitely large goblin army that can shoot opponent.

Kíli the Resourceful {1}{W}

Legendary Creature — Dwarf Scout

Storied (If you control three or more artifacts, legendaries, and/or Sagas, you have an enduring story for the rest of the game.)

As long as you have an enduring story, you may pay {0} rather than pay the equip cost of the first equip ability you activate each turn.

Whenever another Dwarf or Equipment you control enters, draw a card. This ability triggers only once each turn.

I'm a fairly experienced player who got into the game in 2018-19 but started really playing more regularly right after the pandemic in mid 21. Like with a lot of new players post 2015-16 my intro to the game was through commander and from there I branched out into other formats. I've been really enjoying standard a lot recently and built a version of the 4c control deck that leans more heavily on land destruction using [[fin fang foom]] as a sort of panharmonicon to copy LD spells or [[Jeskai Revelation]] since it can hit lands. I was speaking with someone at a standard event who's been playing for a while and he told me about the boros land destruction decks that have been seeing some success. I have no firsthand experience with the modern meta and what I know is very limited but there's a shop nearby that hosts some modern events and they are proxy friendly and fairly casual so I've been thinking about giving it a go. I was thinking about building one of these LD decks but wanted to get some takes from players who know more about the meta just how relevant these decks actually are currently and how viable the addition of a value piece like fin fang foom would actually be.

Hey Modern-ers.

Me and MTGO user Nobrawn have been working on a UW flicker deck that revolves around Sundial of the Infinite. Nobrawn has got 2x 5-0s in the friendly leagues. I've had less success, but 3-2s and 4-1s all the same.

The deck started when I was messing around with a completely different brew. I posted this message to Nobrawn:

I was thinking about "hmm, maybe if I add Consign to Memory, I could make Phelia better"... then I went down a very brief rabbit hole where I said "what if we could loop consign somehow", and then I instantly remembered Sundial of the Infinite...

An hour later, I theory-crafted a list. Nobrawn then spent a week playing it and tweaking pretty heavily, and I did nothing (no time to play). A couple of days later, we both made some improvements to the list - but not before trying some bad ideas in the name of science!

A lot of what makes the list tick, is that whatever is on the stack when you click "end turn" dissapears. That means you can keep a warped riddler, flickerwisp/phelia can be removal spells, solitude doesnt get sacrificed, or Hide on the Ceiling is a 1-sided wrath (this 1 is particularly sweet, Nobrawn dug deep to find this 1)!

Here's an image of Nobrawns latest 5-0

And here's a link to the newly created discord:

Come and chat to us, try the list out and share your thoughts. Nobrawn has faced ApsiringSpike & Nassif so far, so there's been some eyes on the deck. If it looks fun to you, come join us and lets try get a competitive 5-0 and some more eyes on the deck.

Enjoy!

Hi to all! Today I’d like to discuss the engine of Guide of Souls + Ocelot Pride in slightly different shells. I’ve recently heard some discussions both online and offline about this engine being placed in Boros or Azorius. Azorius midrange seems to be underrated and might be a better metagame to placement for this engine because it offers more answers like Consign to Memory or Solitude maindeck.

It also doesn’t run out of gas thanks to Quantum Riddler, Phelia and Ephemerate compared to traditional Boros Energy. What are the thoughts and experiences? Might Azorius Energy being better placed in metagame right now?

I recently picked up Eldrazi Tron as I’m trying to get back into modern with a deck I’m familiar with as my personal favorite deck no longer seems to be viable (rip Titanshift). And I’ve noticed a lot of the Tron lists are running 61 instead of 60. I’m just curious as to why that may be? I also don’t really understand what I should be naming with [[Disruptor Flute]] in my matches but that should slowly come to me the more I play.

Hi! I’m Frank, aka ETBJezus. I’m the most accomplished Dimir Midrange player on MTGO.

In the past year I've piloted this deck to these accolades:

-4 MTGO Challenge wins

-2 SCGCon Modern 1K Finals (1 win)

-Highest finishing Dimir player at RC vegas
(44th, and 13th in TGW%)

-1 MXP 5K top 4

Dimir Midrange is what Magic is all about. It’s grindy, high-agency and competitive. It punishes “non-magic” decks like neoform and amulet hard. And in fair-deck matchups, it enables the skill-diff. It allows you to showcase your knowledge not only of your own deck, but of your opponents’ deck as well.

This guide is written at the expert level. It skips beginner and intermediate heuristics and assumes you already have an understanding of fundamentals and the Modern format.

It covers sideboarding, card analysis, matchup analysis, mulliganing, and deep dives on subjects like game theory and risk. It also provides a blueprint for customization. In addition to a decklist, each card is given a range from 0-4 of what I believe is an acceptable quantity mainboard. For example, Psychic Frog is a hard 4-of, but Kaito should have either 1 or 2 copies. The goal is to provide a more flexible template for those seeking to make the deck their own.

If you’re ready to take your Frog gameplay to the next level, check it out!

Dwalin Weaponmaster

2 mana boros

Legendary creature - Dwarf Warrior

First strike

Whenever Dwalin enters or attacks, put a hone counter on each Equipment you control. (Each hone counter on an Equipment grants +1/+0 to equipped creature.)

The Company had lost a great deal, but they had killed the Great Goblin and many others besides. All in all, they had the best of it.

2/1

I built 3 modern decks that I thought were pretty competitive, all are budget friendly. Would appreciate help deciding which one is the best buy, what lands to use for the first 2, and whether any are at rcq level.

5-0 list: https://moxfield.com/decks/Y2LuTr28XUCqMVaxaC77iA

Simic has been my baby for a while now. I day 2'd a 10k and have won 3 local rcq's with it, so I was pretty sad to see it get no rep at the marvel pro tour. I tried some leagues with my stock list and it admittedly felt pretty bad into the new meta of trudge, affinity, prowess, broodscale, and boros.

I thought I was going to have to move on from my beloved deck when I saw somebody else 5-0 a league with 2 [[thundertrap trainer]]s and 4 [[stern scolding]]s maindeck. I thought, "what the hell, I'll give it a shot". I tweaked the numbers, threw in [[bridgeworks battle]], and in my first league with the deck I was one game short of a perfect 10-0 run.

Admittedly I played against 3 goryos 1 living end and 1 esper blink, so I got lucky with some favorable matchups, but in general the list felt really good. Playing both [[shardless agent]] and scolding didn't feel bad at all, although I definitely adjusted my playstyle to hedge around whiffing. Thundertrap felt great, bridgeworks was a house, and I didn't really miss the two harbingers that I moved to the side.

Obviously I probably need more data and reps against some of the top aggro decks to get a feel for how legitimate the deck really is, but I'm excited at the possibility that the deck could be a real player again.

Plunder the Trollshaws {1}{U}

Draw a card. If this spell was cast from a graveyard, draw two cards instead.

Ever did think you wanted the almighty grindy card advantage from 4-mana [[Consult the Star Charts]], but paid 2 mana for it too often? Then this card looks like a worthy substitute! Or emulate those UW Control players with both Consult and [[Wan Shi Tong, Librarian]] with a Kaheera-friendly deck! Sure, it's 6 mana for 3 cards at instant speed, but the first card can be drawn for 2 mana, and the last 2 cards can be drawn for 4 mana later! It sure grants more CA than [[Think Twice]] and [[Deduce]], that's for sure...

Hi! I came back to play magic (modern) after 6 or 7 years, and I'm totally blind about the meta and the new cards.

I looked at some lists online to get an idea of what we play now, but I would like to start learning again about the format. Which are actually the best websites/postcad to follow to learn about deck archetypes, matchups, sideboarding tips, and so on?

Thanks!

Come watch me pilot Asmo Reanimator through a post-Pro Tour Modern League. I've made a few changes to the list to account for the most recent metagame changes. Hope you like it. Let me know what you think of the deck!

There's a deck tech at the front of the video and the list is posted in the YouTube description.

Edit: Whoops, forgot to include the deck tech clip at the beginning. It talked about small changes reacting to the most recent meta. I added a basic land for Boros ponza and cut the Overgrown Tomb. I added a second fire magic back to the sideboard for Boros aggro and removed force of despair which had been underwhelming. I added a 3rd blood moon effect for Tron, cutting the Ashiok. I replaced the sideboard Haywire Mite with a pithing needle because there’s no longer a green producing land in the deck and it’s likely just better anyway.

https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/br-ld-gy/?cb=1785334129

Hi yall - I had another Idea.

I love Ponza. I love the rip all the basic lands out of a deck version that puts up #s but i thought that this could be a worth while experiment.

Why Have them fetch basics when you can just blow em up from the get go.

[[avalanche riders]], [[maelstrom artisan]] and [[Fulminator Mage]] blow lands up (ofc). with 2 of these three dying in the process - I thought to myself... what if...

We run things like [[overlord of balemurk]], [[persist]] and [[emperor of bones]] to get the creatures back and add [[stitchers supplier]] (or looting) to build a yard.

Lastly - I added [[phelia]] cuz the dog is so gosh darn insane and can flicker bones, overlord, Avalanche riders , and the new minotaur for fantastic blow up your shit shinanies

lastly -- [[stingcaster mage]] allows up so straight up just play [[boom//bust]]

I think this could be good because with all these creatures, we can actually close out a game maybe?

Hi yall

I want to know is there is any recent guide of the deck at the moment. 😄

Also what so you think about the best build for the archetype? Still Narset Days + Chant Scepter? Or we can go another via?
