Modern Tourney

Good luck Testset! If you want any advice on playing against pod, folk, or affinity, just ask.

So this is what I've learned from playing within my narrow playgroup:

Melira Pod: {Grafdigger's Cage} is fantastic here, but since you're playing delver, any tempo-heavy hand should be fine without it. Keep threats like melira and scooze off the board. Linvala is often their only flyer, although some decks run {archangel of thune}.

Merfolk: Kill early, kill often. As long as you can stop them from reaching a 'critical mass' of merfolk and/or devotion, you should be fine, just remember they often have islandwalk

Affinity: One-shot kill-spells need to go to things like {steel overseer} or ravager (or, if you're lucky, an {etched champion} off metalcraft), but your first priority is always destroying any {cranial plating}s. Small sweepers like {shrivel} are great for getting value, and a well-timed {hurkyl's recall} ends games.

R/G Tron: If you have land destruction, use it. Otherwise, {remand} is your best friend.

Yeah my playgroup is pretty small, but hopefully this helps!

Infect: Spot on, but watch out for {vines of vastwood}

Ad Nauseum: I guess your goal here is to get as much tempo as possible and kill them before they combo off. Make sure to counter any fast mana but try and keep up a counter for {ad nauseum} itself if Boseiju never comes out. You may want to consider {Venser, Shaper Savant} in this matchup since he will delay the combo a full turn and add extra damage to the clock.

GL on that box!

That sucks At least you got experience from the last one

What store do you go to test?

if you want to test your modern deck on here, head over to the wall games page

I'll gladly play you with my modern home brews or any online list you give me.

hard for me to schedule a block of time. I sometimes am on the www.untap.in game board for live game. You can try to find me there (less time on there recently, maybe mor ein the future but maybe not) or find a random game with someone else...good site.

or I am up for a wall game anyway. I won't want to play any permission deck, your right that counterspell wars won't be fun, but I'm happy to test my black deck, or afinity, or whatever against you. If you are the only one countering, it won't take too too long.

I always play with online lists, so that if a game takes a week, the physical deck isn't tied up...also it's easier to save (screenshot, open windows, etc) from an online board. I recomend tappedout for decklists and solo play...its very useful for testing decks and for playing wall games.

If you are interested, post the decklist you want me to play (Or I can play a list I already have loaded to tappedout...but not my faries or time warp decks...countesepll wars suck on the wall) in the wall games board, and you go ahead and take the first turn (usually we roll dice, but I like whoever is posting first to just go first to save time. .
