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 go3[ ICE] pyroblast4 [ICE] hydroblast3 [VIS] Crypt Rats24 [mir] Islandetc.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]].
Won't work, only cards with CMC >= 3 will due to [[Demonic Dread]] being a key player. Split cards would work great here. But this deck just does not really work as a concept. If you get your trickery countered you're done. If your opponent simply does not rely on creatures, or kills you with them before you get to cast your sorcery speed [[Demonic Dread]] you're done, if you don't draw the Dread you're done.More than anything however, Trickery is banned in modern because decks that are similar to this one were just too fucking stupid to keep in the format, in legacy [[Creative Technique]] decks still exist and are reasonably powerful.
Goblins combo is among the top 10 decks in Pauper and there are a lot of ways of building it. Some decks will maindeck 3-4 copies of [[duress]] others will go heavy on [[Faithless Looting]] to draw the combo faster. It's a very fun deckbuilding puzzle to solve, and no correct answer exists in a vacuum. Good luck deck building!
I really really don't like EDH as a format but shit like this could get me into it, that and an extra liver to sell and some Time Spiral level temporal shenanigans so as to have the money and time.
It's pauper, though much of your criticism still applies. 4 [[Bojuka Bog]] is too many in an aggro deck. Meanwhile 3 [[Bone Picker]] is probably 1 too few and MH3 gave us a 2-mana [[Fleshbag Marauder]]
