BUMP!
Welcome back, folks! How has everyone been? Anyone getting into Modern Masters, despite the steep price increase?

^ Welcome back, I haven't seen you here in a while.
I didn't buy anything from Modern Masters, I don't even know what's on that edition I played on some Modern tournaments with my White/Green human deck though, which got even better since Innistrad left Standard and the prices of the cards lowered a lot: I finally have 4 Champion of the Parish there, it's so awesome Also got a planeswalker, Elspeth Sun's Champion, that also became much cheaper because it was released on a Dual Deck I bought a few months ago a 2015 Deck Builder like you got and started a nice mono green deck. I have some cool stuff to start a blue and red one too. |

I had an awesome deck of soldiers! I remember using "Wing Shards" several times and my friends just going crazy!!!
Good times. |

^ That's really old school! Awesome card, especially when you cast lots of cheap soldiers
I played against some Brazilian players here, it seems like the MTG store is their home away from home. You sure have a big Magic community in your country |

Yes! It was quite a sensation. I stop playing some 5 years ago, but there is still so much kids playing.
And the reasons we have so "ancient" cards is beacause the cards are so expansive here that we buy few, plus we really hate the last editions. hehe |

The game changed a lot in the last 5 years, but I like both the older and the newer sets, it's very different.
I'm glad they'll release less sets every year, it's difficult for me to keep up with the new stuff, and there will be less useless cards to fill the sets |

Glad to see you guys and gals are still in the swing of things! :)
I just recently made a KILLER green mono deck that I'll upload shortly. It's by far the best deck I've made yet, and it crushes red aggro very well.

I didn't play a single game since my last post, never had a chance to cast Elspeth
I'm quite curious about that mono green deck

PrognosticMind's Mana-Ramp Beasts-A-Plenty Mono Green Deck:
Creatures: Llanowar Elves x 2 Essence of Wisdom x 1 Arbor Elf x 1 Elvish Mystic x 4 Ageless Entity x 1 Thran Golem x 1 Whisperer of The Wilds x 1 Dungrove Elder x 1 Genesis Hydra x 1 Ghoultree x 2 Terra Stomper x 2 Craterhoof Behemoth x 1 Sorcery/Instant: Perilous Vaut x 1 Doubling Chant x 1 See The Unwritten x 1 Urban Burgeoning x 1 Abundant Growth x 1 Revive x 1 Awaken The Bear x 1 Fog x 1 Clinging Mists x 1 Overwhelm x 1 Reclaim x 1 Prey Upon x 1 Terrifying Presence x 1 Evolution Charm x 1 Eaten by Spiders x 1 Verdant Haven x 1 Plummet x 1 Natural End x 1 World Slayer x 1 Wurm's Tooth x 1 Land: Forest x 22 There is a slight possibility that some of the numbers/counts are off here, as my deck was not in order when I just went through it. However - this deck absolutely SLAYS everything. I've been destroying mono-red aggro like nuts. The odds of me ramping up to Terra Stomper and the game-ending Craterhoof Behemoth are so high with this combination of cards, that's it's so much fun.

Nice one, lots of great cards!
Ageless Entity is a great card but you don't seem to have many cards to gain life. Maybe you could add another Wurm's Tooth or this one: http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=370592 (you also gain life when you cast a forest ) Ghoultree is a really good card, there's also this one from the Innistrad block too http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=230624 Is Perilious Vault a good card for that deck? I had a Thran Gollem on my white/blue but it wasn't very useful there? How is it on a mono green? I finish a lot my games with this one when I play with my white/green, I think it would be a wise choice for that one too: http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?multiverseid=205003&type=card |

Thank you, sir! Yes, Ageless Entity is really the only slightly-off card, but was chosen and added because it was the best fit relative to what I have access to from my cards. It's the first on my list to be replaced. I've actually got that Magus Staff already! I should just swap it out, Idk why I didn't think of that yet, lol. Ghoultree has won me so many games it's not funny, lol. Perilous Vault has come in handy several times in this deck; I was intrigued by how highly people spoke of it, and I couldn't appreciate it until I had it in a real situation (same with Genesis Hydra). Thran Golem destroys, especially with some of the enchantments attached! Overwhelming Stampede is a card I've been looking to get for a long time for mono-green, for obvious reasons What are you running for a deck right now, Meltdowner?

I know why Thran Golem didn't last long on mine: it's one of the few creatures without hexproof So obvious Here's my green/white, the best deck I have (still lose most of the times against the store's regulars ): http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/06-07-15-greenwhite-humans/ |

I always think about how Genesis Hydra would be a sick prog metal band name, lol. Gotta love Elspeth and those angel cards! Very neat deck, sir! Do you find it performs better/worse against certain decks? Mine seems to hold up very well against pretty much everything. It's the closest I've come to far to having a solid, all-around kick ass deck.

Thanks! Speaking of cards you don't know how powerful they are until you play them, Mentor of the Meek is one of those, it really speeds up the game. I'm thinking about removing Smite the Monstrous and Bonds of Faith and putting something with exile instead. Against "normal" decks it's powerful but against the pros it's difficult because they can play big creatures really soon or have low cost counter spells. With some serious red spells it's quite easy to wipe my battlefield too I'll have to share my white/blue another day, it's only good against many opponents now, but it's really fun

Yes! I'd love to see your white/blue. Blue is definitely the color you want if your thing is spells/protection. I used to piss people off to no end with cancels and negates, lol. Just control the game until they either mill out, or you create an opening. Very fun to play! Green has always been my preference. There's just something about mana ramping and getting huge, powerful beasts out into play ASAP that just does it for me. The right combos often end the game by turn 5 or 6!

Also - do any of you fine folks play with a sideboard? I play modern exclusively, and I'm just now (after about a year's worth of playing) understanding the purpose of having that additional 15 cards off to the side.
What pisses me off is that most shops just play standard, and I despise not being able to choose the cards I want/having to draft. That's bullsh*t. I'm not paying $10+ to play MtG Roulette with strangers, lol. I need to find a place that just lets people play modern, because that's my jam!

Wow magic Haven't played in a while. All the shops in my hood are lame, so I only ever really played legacy in basements, garages, living rooms, ect. I've played on and off since the onslaught block. The last deck I had...
4x Land's Edge 4x Treasure hunt 24x mountain 24x island 4x land's that can turn into a creature for a turn(in case someone has a counter spell and leaves me with 20 land's in my hand ) |
