Noxious revival let's you reuse beck

Brilliant little movie :)
You a Bruce fan?

Glimpse is banned in modern.
I think it was part of skullclamp combo once.

Fists of flame will be nice with mass hysteria.

Damn I'm getting lost in the glimpse deck.
It has some hidden rules that I don't understand.
First of all it demands at least 32 creatures costing 0 with no disadvantages.
Second it seemed to work well with manamorphosis and noxious revival, but only to a certain degree.
Finally the mana influences everything. If it's to high the deck stops. If it's to low it stops.
And if I draw a hand full of cards that aren't occ, I have to mulligan.
And apart from turn one glimpse the deck wins more after 2 mulligans when compared to 1 mulligan. That's truly puzzling to me..

Since you had an interest in the affinity design I can tell that I've discovered a fun card.
Fists of flame...

That's true.

The most pressing issue is rdw, so you should compare your deck to theirs,
Where would you be strongest.

Most of their designs are prowress and I think that's where you yourself are heading.
The difference here is that they rely more on creatures, and have cut burn to add those.
Your best option is to remove burn yourself to make room for kor firewalker and path.
You best option there might be to skip on the burn that works around chalice, moving some rift bolt and skewer to the sideboard. I also think you should keep the eidolons at 4.

Ingot chewer could become pillage, so that you can remove lands. Against valakut you don't actually take out valakut, but you take out a land to set them back 1 more turn to burn. Eldrazi temple is the pick against eldrazi. Against tron you take out an urza or whatever they have fewest of

Some are ancient ;)
With 2000 comments I stretch
Far back in time.

I might dig up some old posters for you so you can find some old designs to toy with.

But you could just also dig deep into mekkakats archives.

I guess so, but I do believe this is the first time you've dug deep enough to reach my old comments ;)

So this is what insomnia looks like ;)
Welcome to the world of mekkakat!

Okay, I've been taking a closer look at the meta
Rdw is dominant, so you could actually reverse engineer the problem by making kor firewalker and path to exile mainboard. Theres also a huge number of boros decks so if you have access to auriok champion you will be able to crack two stones with one.

You also need to deal with tron, eldrazi and valakut, and in ancient modern, this was done with molten rain. These days you can do it with pillage. 3 of these in the sb will work wonders.

I like the sb made by zoson.
2 for firewalker
3 path
1 searing blaze
2 searing blood
2 skull
3 smash to smithereens
2 rest in peace

The build you started out with, looked a lot like his as well.

Another user to keep track of might be pilniczek and sage92
Both play other colors, but the differences are important.

I remember that one way to fight chalice in the past was with a single dismember. The two of you haven't gotten black in the deck and may have forgotten how dismember stops a 5/5. You may lose 4 life in the process, but you keep the card advantage.

With only 2 colors you don't need so many fetchlands as the old Rgw version.

To tell you the truth I once had a deck with 16 lands (no fetch) which had 12 cards costing 2 and about 6 costing 3.
But in a live meta you usually have to expect that they will destroy some of your lands. Most have field of ruin to earth tronlands or valakut, and you have to expect that they will try to cut you of from using white.

Path should be 3 in sb. It's technically part of your grave hate.

An advice I often give is to cover as many aspects you can with as few cards as you can.

For example, you have 4 mishra's bauble in the main board, their function is to draw cards.
You have 2 tormod's Crypt in the sb function to hate graves. Why not strike both ways with relic of progenitus?

Ash is brilliant against dredge, and probably some other odd decks.
I'm not so updated on how those decks a faring, but decks like loam and reanimated will be nice to have something against. It's a very fast attacker, and anyone blocking it with something big will likely see their blocker go down to first strike and burn. The same thing counts if anyone goes aggro on you.

I thought skewer the critics only targeted creatures, so it is actually a good card.

One angel should be enough, since you do have lifegain in the sb.

17 lands too little.

When I evaluate numbers I usually keep to this "kode"
4 of it's a key card you always want to play.
3 if you want the card on the opening hand but don't want it late game. 2 if it's hatred, 1 if you want to try out the card in the deck. 0 if you hated it in your deck.


In the end your deck must fit your play style.
The best you can do is to play and play until it sits in your spine.

I've also seen that boogles and infect are still active.
With burn, prowress, boggles and infect around I guess spellskite must be around as well.

If it is, you beat it by having about half of your burn target a player.

I don't think skewer the critics help anything but swiftspear, so if you meet spellskite often you can perhaps find another card to replace it. Maybe 4 helix, 4 searing and 4 skull crack.

4 kor firewalker is also a bit over the edge.

Like I said in the long advice, start to study the past to beat the future.
At the moment with burn on it's way down you can probably get some old burn tech for cheap.

Just hang on with it,

And good idea with infect, just be aware of the cards that those both decks, like chalice and spellskite.
Magic is a cyclic game, so your deck choice must be one that's in when the other is out.

I can suggest you start reading up on stuff in modernnexus.com

1 land. Inspiring vantage, If you look at lots of decklists in burn you will find lots of 1stplaces with 18 lands and a lot of fetch among them.

It was more like how frequent you encounter it :)
Burn tends to be vulnerable against it.
If chalice is widespread to fight of both burn and prowress you might still need some eidolons to split your costs into two, and should play 4 rift bolt.

Wear//tear can only fight a chalice 2 when they are spliced.

Ingot chewer might be a more resistant pick.

Currently modern nexus writer David ernenwine shows that burn is in retreat and speculates that prowress is the cause, so you might want to compensate there as well. Angel's grace might be just the thing for that.

How frequent is chalice of the Void?

Yeah I saw that in an article a week ago. Yorion is easy to name based on decksize.

Aggro is always present. Especially at large tournaments.
The easier it is to play, the more it wins.

Jegantha and obosh also seemed to do well.

Modernnexus writer David ernenham has released data on that. Lurrus is still losing out, but other companions are growing. The actual star is yorion.
