This, and 12 lands is too few for any deck that doesn't play 8 or more mana dorks like Elves does.
Also, [[Locust Miser]] is probably the single worst card out of the 30 000ish unique cards in mtg to play in a discard deck. Followed closely by [[Gnat Miser]] and other max hand-size reducers.

I think a heavier lean into artifact lands, furnace, den, vault, would maybe be required. In truth I think Mardu is one of the most fun puzzles currently playable in pauper. You can go ephemerate, initiative, wildfire, blood fountain, Orzhov blade + blast & synth, etc. Good luck brewing!

I generally play decks deck with enough removal and/or counter magic to deal with Archeomancer, but watching gameplay from the Jeskai Ephemerate / Azorius Familiars side, it's impossible to avoid the conclusion that Archeomancer can win a game on its own. But looking at the deck, I dunno what I would cut either tbh.

I think the lack of [[Refurbished Familiar]] is a crime xD As much as I abhor playing against that card. It's too good in a deck like this as it both acts as an evasive flyer to go along with your other evasive flyers, but also combos with them and is another in a long, long, long list of 2-for-1s in the deck.

All that said, it would likely require a lot of card changes, more artifact lands, and weaker synergies for Rebirth and Dispute and thus also lower copies of these immensely powerful cards.

Looks like Familiars but worse. But there are good reasons to stray away from the familiars formula, so that's not a mistake by definition. What is a mistake by definition is not running [[Archaeomancer]] in your [[Ephemerate]] deck. You really need to find space for at least 2 copies as it can singehandedly lock the opponent out of the game in a lot of situations. Perhaps cut some of your bounce effects for it? Running 9 is kind of pushing it.

Why [[Zulaport Cutthroat]] and [[Blood Artist]]? there does not seem to be enough synergy / tokens to justify them.

Yeah, I have retreated into Pauper, makes all the different flavors of sometimes borderline cataclysmic bullshit going on everywhere else seem kind of silly.

From what I have seen a few months ago on youtube, Lutri decks can reliably 3-2 Leagues in Jeskai and Grixis colors. The only cards that seem kind of sub-par are Realm-Cloaked Giant and Peek. All that said, I care less and less about modern with each passing day so my opinion is probably not worth much.

Man, it's the fact that decks like this don't really work in modern anymore that makes me not care about the format one goddamned bit these days. This is a great value pile, but just doesn't do enough at first glance.

Though, to start, [[Chord of Calling]] and [[Ephemerate]] in such high numbers seem like a bad idea. There are not enough silver bullets, and not enough cheap shit to cast it easily to justify Chord, and probably not enough bounce targets to justify Ephemerate as a 4x.

PS: Top choice of basic land art <3

Yeah, moxfield does everything better than valut, better than every other site I would argue, except when it comes to picking card art. The process there is tedious and the set abbreviations are not as standardized (no all 3 letters, etc.) which makes bulk importing cards with particular art cumbersome.

I get to go
3[ ICE] pyroblast
4 [ICE] hydroblast
3 [VIS] Crypt Rats
24 [mir] Island
etc.

when adding cards to the deck via the bulk import function. If I am gonna spend a lot of time looking at the cards and tinkering with the build I would prefer to look at the printings I favor, the ease with which this can be done on Vault is unparalleled in my experience.

Yeah, I will slowly migrate, though the card import function is so much better on here that I will continue to use this site.

Moxfield for me, but idk, I got so used to this site, the desire to brainstorm decks probably will not transfer. I've been on here for 11 years, life has sped up a lot in that time, it's sad to let this go.

Yeah, same, like all of that xD 2013, hot decks, missing cards, and now moxfield. Well, so long and thanks for all the fish <3

<3 Doubt it'll help tho, but I would love to keep using the site. I'd also love to see how many active users there are, probably not worth any amount of time to fix anymore, not enough traffic would be my guess.

[[Nicol Bolas, the Deceiver]] is a super weak card, [[Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker]] would be a good substitute if you must run another one, even if you hit 3 people with the Deceiver's +3 it's not worth the effect or the mana.

I stayed on here for so many years because the site had the best and cleanest import / bulk import functionality for specifying sets/card printings. Moxfield for example has a much more annoying workflow in that regard even though the site looks much better etc.

Some strange card choices here, generally there is a tension between high-tempo threats that aim to win the game via combat like Delver, Dragon's Rage Channeler (DRC), and Thing in the Ice, and cards like Satyr Firedancer that are all in, tiny, and reliant on powerful follow-ups.

There also does not seem to be enough card types to give DRC flying regularly, or enough instants / sorceries to flip delver. Also, what format is this for? Everything is modern legal except Chain lightning?

Yeah, I think a really big problem is that where the fail case for Hogaak was substantially, massively worse than the fail case is for Nadu. But... but at the start Hogaak also had winrates upwards of 60, in the hands of some players even 70%, towards the end it was just good, though it did warp the metagame around it, maybe the same thing can happen with the bird. Though frankly I don't really care, stopped caring about modern when MH2 was released.

Nah maaan, the winrate or the metashare was never that high. Though to be fair, not sure what I would nominate as the most broken thing to ever graze a format, but for modern, I think even the current [[Nadu, Winged Wisdom]] situation is much more oppressive than Hogaak was, though that's only because you could and in fact had to maindeck 4 [[leyline of the void]].
