Lantern is still my favorite deck because of how legitimately creative it is and it takes the ultimate approach of control because you literally just control their hand.
bbd should had bolt wait for the redirect, if zac payed 2 life he would remand his own bolt, draw a card then bolt always to the face, either zac took 2 or 3 for each bolt
I highly doubt the sequencing can allow that to happen. I'm pretty sure the spell resolves when Skite's trigger is on the stack. If that was the case, you could counter after he pays two life with nothing happening.
The reason that wouldnt have worked: Zac had Mox Opal untapped for blue mana. So he could've bolted him to 1. Then Zac pays 1 blue to redirect to Spellskite, with it surviving and never allowing another burn spell to touch him.
game 2, zac shouldn't have played the second bridge when he did. he should havve gone ancient stirrings - ghoulcaller's bell so he could fight over the keranos more effectively.
Every d-bag who gets remotely comfortable in Modern eventually plays Twin with it's undercosted, overly efficient and mindless-to-play value elements. This grindy Lantern deck not caring about any of the spells in the Twin deck, while it miserably bleeds the life out of it, was an absolute joy to watch! :D
+Archibald Doogan Twin is fairly easy to play around for a player in the know. How exactly are people dbags for playing twin? A little out of your budget level maybe?
Can someone explain me why there is a Stomping Ground in the Twin Deck? I've also seen this in several Burn Decks and I'm completely clueless what's its use in those Decks.
How does the control deck win? lol I built it myself and when I was playing it the first time I locked out my opponent, but had no way of wnding the game
This game is amazing, but it's nothing to do with the Magic I once loved. It was all about Goblins smashing into Elves until a Beast or a Dragon would win the game. That was cool. This is also cool, but so, so very different.
+Johannes Hartmann in fact that magic never existed in the competitive scene. Just look at decks like cadaverous bloom and the combo summer. Obnoxious decks have been there forever.
it was rather like, look at that beautiful Necro or Academy or Memory Jar or Dark Rit that just is winning the game :3 but Dragons and Elves won too, with Wildfire and Glimpse of Nature^^
+architectofcosmos The lantern control deck is legal because its control method simply loses to having no lantern. there are only 4 "copies" of it in the deck, and there are cards like stony silence, ancient fridge and shatterstorm to fight it
