Why isn't Bogles on this list? Because it's "easy to play" but very hard to win with. The deck is clunky, winning by turn 4+ making it relatively easy to race. It has a lot of parallels to Infect but without the free-win speed.

I found playing boggles at many larger events always a great choice. the leylines slay thoughtseize and burn, and the umbras can crush Supreme verdict. making day 2 with boggles requires a special player though who embraces it, and really knows how to beat eidolon, blood moon and eng explosive. I only pilot this deck when spellskite is out of the meta. the free wins are there but winning against the meta thats super deep takes some talent

I have made a lot of decks in Modern and have dismantled plenty as well. However, I have always kept Burn and Tron sleeved up even though I practically never register them at tournaments. Mostly for nostalgia because they were some of my earliest decks, but more importantly because they're great loaner decks for friends who tag along to events but don't consistently play Modern.

I think this waa one of the best analysis of the infect archetype I have ever heard. Yeah, sometimes you win turn two with nothing your opponent can do, but other times it's a rush where everything has to be calculated perfectly to work, with a lot f bluff involved, 50/50 to decide if your opponent has a removal or a discard. And the matchup against control. The slow grind to win turn 20 with your dryad while you cheap away your opponent's life using all your resources to not get your creature killed.

I aggree that burn is the easiest deck to just pick up and play. Most of the card have pretty straightfoward text written in them.

The caveman will lose aggro mirrors if something goes slightly wrong for them.

I agree that the skill level of the player make a few of these decks way better then in the hands of a random. I think tron players get a bad rap most of the time. A person with no skill can luck sac into good plays if the deck is constructed well mostly because of the power of the cards. However playing against a good tron player is definitely something that feels scarier lol. I agree with your rankings overall except I would bring tron down to easy enough (reasoningabove) , ponza down to easy (play patterns and targeting choices play a big part), humans up to easy enough ( no a lot of skill or decision making necessary. Play threats on curve and fade kill spells) and lastly blitz and all its variations up to so easy a cave man can do it ( turn 1 and 2 play over powered threats then cantrip to victory. You can even play you one drops straight into a chalice of the and it doesn't matter. I've tried it out and it is literally the easiest to pilot deck I've ever played. Very little thought into the game and win or lose it's over in a few turns.) Also heilod is super easy to play a+b is dummy easy.

I'd like to know what cards you're referring to. Any hate card you could possibly play is usually only marginally effective and can be blown up by the Tron player with 1 green mana. Unless you're running multiple land destruction cards + Surgical Extraction (aka too many cards), your sideboard isn't that relevant at all. And by this I don't mean to say that Tron in unbeatable of course: simply put, either your main deck has a good matchup against it or it doesn't. No sideboard can really fix that fact.

Long time ponza player here. I'll be the cringey defender of the deck. I see Ponza as a deck on wich all the thinking is made before the event, the strategy depends a lot on the metagame and every slot of the deck is flexible on what decks you are going to see. I know this is true for every modern deck but i think this is espacially the case for ponza. How many land destruction do you run ? Do you run Magus or Blood Moon and how many ? How many Klothys ? Do you include 2-drops in case arbor elf is bolted ? Do you go with 4 Spyros or include Tireless Tracker for grindier games ? Do you go with 8 or 10 dorks ? How will you deal with creatures that has >4 thoughtness with only lightning bolts ? Do you go with the Karn TGC variant ? This deck had so many variants during last years and is constantly evolving from midrange to full-on aggro strategies. So yeah, the deck is really dumb to play during events, but the thinking of your card choices is, in my mind, very very interesting.

As a merfolk master don't you want ( unless you arleady did) do a kind of merfolk analysis, explain a bit history, its evolution to start, explain how it works (lords, islandwalk, aether vial, difficult choices and why one choice rather that an other like playing lords quickly, being scared to lose the lord and having merfolk in hands so playing silvergill, etc) sideboard choices (meta counts of course but which hate cards and which deck to considere like aone deck would so bad matchup or opposite so good that doesnt even worth consider sideboard answers,etc). Aethervial automatic turn 1? Many things. As I think I already told you I started playing merfolk before being a thing with just one lord (4 obv) and the tide warriors or something like that (1/1 merfolk for U that can be tap to change a land into island), won a little tournament that we made with friends. Then, years later I discoverd merfolk in modern so had to build it.. 🙃. Was in french magic website (magiccorporation) and registered me as MadMerfolk 😂.

I used to have a primer on individual cards but that was about it.

@@NikachuMTG yes counterspell, I was think about counters and even with the few games than I plyed I ve seen why in a deck like merfolk, even being mono blue or eventually simic or azorius, the counters where not very good, not played a lot.. because we want to spitt our gand during our turn and cannot really keep mana for the opponents turn, so of course playing a two mana counter like counterspell would change the strategy, the card is too good in modern to not diserve at least a try but keeping 2 mana.. merfolk played very few one mana counters but even remand is a bad choice, 2 mana is a lord, a card and a draw with sivergill or the spreading seas or other merfolks. Keeping two mana would be okay if we had more two mana merfolk with flash like merfolk trickster. Maybe to play counterspell we should also play other 2 mana counter like mana leak or remand, or both. Try to keep just the minmum merfolk like the 2 mana lords,trickster, silvergill and prtect them with counters, maybe with green to have a third 2 mana lord lord to have valuebable boardstate to protect or with whith to play celestial colonade to have a "big" creature using land slot.

Where would you put modern Death & Taxes? I've been playing it and its doing really good with Archon of emeria and Skyclave apparition. Plus we're supposed to be getting some new white cards so I think it will be really good in near future.

My friend took me to a doubles tournament and let me pilot his Scapeshift deck and we ended up coming in third. This was my first brush with Modern so I had no clue of the meta. I ended up beating this super try hard dude who at first was all smiles during the game providing some guidance even, and then after I beat him he was so annoyed that ended up calling a judge over to verify my decklist. Scapeshift is so easy it can make you look like a poolshark .. err magicshark lol

Burn is easy until you play against control or death's shadow. That's when the burn players that know what they're doing really separate themselves from the ones who don't.

So if your in izzet aggro here and your opponent is murktide and you just know they have a removal spell cuz they left that treasure up. You play sprite dragon. The opponent goes that's ok. But then you tap out to drop a pauper card in clout of the dominus. The opponent say wait let me see that. They see it give +2/+2 and shroud which means they probably can't kill it. They instantly drop a unholy heat. 😵 But wait, you have a force of negation in hand. Toss the enigma drake you don't need it against Murktide. So now you have 5/5 flying haste shroud. Say turn 3. Don't forget about you mishra's bauble! 6/6 flying haste shroud turn 3. If the opponent does not have some kind of wipe they can get past you they have to get flying blockers. That's why you run playsets of lightning bolt and terminate. But that enigma drake we tossed to force of negation in the last game is gonna be useful in your next matchup, which is mono white hammertime.

tron vs jund. the better player in this matchup usually wins.

I've been away from MTG for the past decade or so due to depression and other bullshit. I've been looking into getting back into it and going to competitions. where can I go to find info on how they work and/or when/where they are? also, should I learn more about various cards? I don't wanna be that annoying guy who has to take time out of a game just to read a card... every time someone plays a non-land card... possibly even a non-basic land card...
@NikachuMTG
@NikachuMTG 2 года назад
You can Google: “magic the gathering store locator” and maybe add your city. You can also search for magic the gathering and your city in Facebook to find a group. Hope that helps! In terms of learning cards, you’ll just have to be that guy that doesn’t know cards for a few months. You won’t really know what a card does until you play against it anyway. Some of my favourite sites anyway are: mtggoldfish.com, scryfall.com, mtgstocks.com

I'm surprised Humans is here. Other creature value decks like Taxes, Spirits and Merfolk are on the hardest decks list. Is it because Humans often deal only damage (Thalia's Lieutenant, Champion of the Parish, Mantis Rider) instead of interacting (Leonin Arbiter, Eldrazi Displacer, Spell Queller)?
@NikachuMTG

Yes, Humans is a much better deck at putting a turn 4 kill (sometimes effectively turn 3) than the other decks.

Can you describe Scapeshift a little more? I can’t wrap my brain around “sacrifice x lands to search your deck for x lands and place tapped”. What is the advantage of adding lands you just destroyed?
@NikachuMTG
@NikachuMTG 2 года назад
The combo is with Valakut the Molten Pinnacle. When you sacrifice 7 lands to grab Valakut and 6 mountains simultaneously to enter the battlefield, it deals 18 damage (usually enough to win). 8 lands can get 2 Valakut and 6 mountains for 36 damage.
