Well, before I had wanted to play BUG because it played the best creatures. But now, it plays the best removal spell, as well.. so why wouldn't I? Kind shitty that the best removal spell also hits my guys, but there will be board tech for that, in the form of Thrun.

i dont know too much about modern but this looks pretty nasty. whats shadow of doubt for? is that some sort of modern tech? or am i missing something? seems like more of a sideboard card, if anything. iv been seeing alot of these decks playing baleful strix main, over snapcaster, which seems wierd but i keep seeing it. so maybe they're onto something. it sucks modern has no good cantrips :(
Baleful Strix isn't modern legal :'( I see it in legacy because it's an answer to delver that cantrips, and snapcaster doesn't really do what you need it to in Legacy, where the land bases are so fragile and often times don't exceed like, 5 land, max. Shadow of doubt is for fetches, at times, or gifts ungiven, or any search effect, really, but mainly for scapeshift. With Valakut being so popular, if they cast a scapeshift with 7 lands, and resolve it, they win. However, if they run boseiju or something like that, and you can't counter it, you're pretty screwed, so this is a multipurpose answer that not only cantrips, but is really good against a lot of other decks. With such fragile mana bases in modern, "stifling" a fetch and getting to draw is so huge, especially v.s. Jund. And mannn, modern has SICK cantrips, hahaha. It doesn't have brainstorm, or ponder, or preordain, but in terms of sole cantrips, it has Gitaxian Probe, Shadow of Doubt, Spreading Seas, Thought scour... okay, maybe not the best, but it's not lacking, by any means. It's a fun format, man. I love it.
so shadow is some sick modern tech after all. ^_^ modern is a format i would def love to get into. not having to buy duels is awesome, haha. i was recently reading an article about modern being broken in a bad way though. where as in legacy its broken but everyone pretty much has access to broken cards. where as in modern, you can T1 griz or emrakul for example, but green sun zenith is banned. or like wild nacatl is banned but delver isnt? shit like that/ as far as cantrips go, i mean those cards you named draw a card but do pretty much nothing for sculpting your hand or deck. serum visions is the best cantrip in modern right?
whoever wrote that article is, for lack of a better term, a dumb ass... hahaha. Modern CAN be broken, if you have the right 7 card hand... Which is exactly why it's not broken to begin with. my friend and I were working on a deck to get a t1 grisel or emrakul, and that could actually win turn 1, as well, but we both scraped it after many, many versions and trials... but why was this? Because a deck that is 'broken' is a deck that can do broken things with broken consistency. The decks that win t1 are RARELY seen in a top 8, because chances are, 9 times out of 10, you're not going to win t1. Sure, the combos are broken in the sense that answers are limited (reprint fow!!!!), but past turn 1, you have answers to everything. t1 is kind of the great equalizer, in modern. Spell pierces answers all. And as for the ban list, the format's still relatively new. Until it develops, it made sense for Wizards to ban the go-to cards to get people to explore the format. I'd say GSZ will be unbanned relatively soon. Modern is a fantastic, and fantastically fun format. I absolutely love it! But yes, the cantrips are lame.. Serum visions is like.. the go-to cantrip, but you'll never see me running it. I think it's a horrible card. I would play Thought Scour/Gitaxian probe over it any day.
cool, i can dig it. really all i know of modern is things iv read. never played a game of it in my life. like i said it seems like an awesome format to get into though. i would play modern over standard anyday. standard just seems like a bunch of little kids who just got into magic last year and they think there the best players with the best decks. shit is annoying. i was looking at this glasscannon deck for modern recently that ran grizz for insane antics. it looked pretty cool. http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/glass-cannon-griselbrand-1/ not to post a deck that has nothing to do with yours really, but it looked so cool that i have to share it. haha
