He's referring to a deck archetype (circa 2007) that became popular when planeswalker cards first came out that was called Superfriends, a control deck that hinged on playing and maintaining planeswalkers. The archetype only got stronger, culminating in Cawblade/Caw go, at which point I gave up on standard entirely.

It wasn't until Gatewatch that the Jacetice league, what you're referring to, became codified (~2015).

I'm surprised how much salt Infect generates. If you pilot your deck perfectly, it's only uptempo until T3, then it completely falls apart. It's balanced and shouldn't be met with groans like it does currently.

Yeah worship is really good. Oversold cemetery is really good too if you want to keep it. Adding a second oversold is kind of risky if you draw two its pretty bad. Also look at playing cabal archon. You have better options than serra avatar and your other one of creatures if you want to be competitive.
>>
>>98216808
How many lands for this kind of deck? 18? 20?
>>
>>98216856
Ok so i saw your updated list and heres the deal. You can go big balls by adding a single patriarchs bidding and two weathered wretch. Remove the beloved chaplains and your next weakest card is doubtless one or you can move true believer to your sideboard. You can play 20 lands with this so you can hit worship and hopefully have your mana fixed.
>>
>>98216930
Hm I'm a couple cards short now, full playset of Cabal Archon?
>>
File: IMG_0936.jpg (24 KB, 312x445)

>>98216856
You can also try to aggro people and have bidding plus tokens and life drain as a backup plan if you remove worship doubtless one and chaplain and add wretches and glorious anthems. Maybe invest more in your mana base if you can. A bunch of 2/2 and 3/3 can get the job done with a bit of recursion.

Its a meta call really if your local place is fast go wide and anthem if they are a but slower go bigger and use worship. Id still find at least 4 removal spells too idk man maybe play vindicate or mortify or something.

>>98216958
No two archons is correct. You will have too many three drops if you play any more.

>watch any eternal youtuber playing a blue deck

I will never understand this. It seems to happen every time.
>>98216682
I think you probably want Duress and more removal
>>98216856
Premodern is much more about fundamentals. For a classic midrange deck you should start at 24 lands (40% of your deck) then trim based on feel when goldfishing hands.
>>
I've been playing since 1994 and most games until 2003~2004 were decided by T9+, then until 2012~2013 were decided by T6+, now today most decks go for the T2/T3 win or control the board by that time. They need to get rid of FIRE and go back to early 2010s design philosophy and do it for a while so standard can reset a little. It's accelerating to YGO's tempo where the game is often decided on T0 or T1. This shit isn't fun, Magic is no longer the thinking man's game.

Modern is beyond fucked. Unless they ban most never-Standard cards, there's too much power in the 1-drop and too many free interactions. Being tapped out should be a signal of zero interaction opportunity except in the rare case. I don't mind free interactions but they dominate the format and butcher so many earlier cards, that we're always trending towards newer = better. Modern was meant to be where standard decks get a second life: introducing cards directly to modern was a really dumb idea.

Treasure tokens, food tokens, etc tokenization of Magic, Planeswalker card type, adventures, MDFC, the game is diluted way too much. It's just not fun to play since it's no longer a straightforward card game but a boardgame in disguise. Don't get me started on the Fortnitification of Magic.

>TQ
Modular. Any mechanic where I can juggle +1/+1 counters is very satisfying to play.
>>
>>98216996
Why are you playing attrition dont do that play one worship and more vindicate and you can remove two soltari priest for true believer or whatever else you want. Duress is cool too but side 4 you dont want them in every game.

Attrition fucking sucks dont do it sacrifice your creatures to cabal archon instead and win.

>>98217110
You could go 2 soltari, 2 true believer, 2 wretch. Soltari is awesome but hosing your opponent another way the first game is also really good and they are all 2 power anyway. Play two anthems.

people ran the experiment of getting rid of supplemental sets
https://mtgdecks.net/Other/d00mwake-s-pure-modern-5-d00mwake-tournament-156493
the format turns into turbo aggro vs different flavors of combo decks, kinda like what's happening in pioneer right now
>>
>>98217148
Nice your lands are fine too you dont play more wretch because double white for your other cards is much more important.
>>
>>98217154
So the supplemental sets actually boosted control more than anything else?
>>
>>98217089
That kind of adjustment can be painful - look at hearthstone, where they spent the last year releasing weaker sets to try to tone down standard and everyone whined about it because none of the new cards were especially useful. The only way out is through mass bans.

>>98214824

>>98217274
Foundations should be standard legal forever. Bring back core sets for every year and bring back blocks. Make standard a one year format. Make commander and draft the primary formats and fuck all the pretend made up fan formats you fucking faggots.
>>
>>98217267
not control in the literal sense, you don't have to be a control deck to run free interaction, but the presence of free interaction means that if you want to be a degenerate turbo aggro or combo deck, you'll be forced slow down to play around it or risk losing to it in certain spots

or giga rotation, or new format.

personally I think there should be something even smaller than Standard, idk how they make it happen but something where you can have a legit chance of winning with a $50 deck or by scraping together rares from drafts and trading.
a 3-year, TWENTY-SET standard is fucking beyond ridiculous. the power level is higher than the old Modern. and there isn't even Block constructed anymore to ease people into collecting. do you realize that over 1500 rares and mythics are legal in "Standard" right now? it's going to be about 1900 by the time of rotation.

for comparison there were ~500 rares and mythics in a typical "super standard", and it would drop to about 300 when rotation came.

>>
>>98217394
Here's some more: Standard right now has more cards than Legacy/Vintage had through Masques block. In addition, compared to most Standard formats throughout the game's life, a greater portion of cards currently legal in Standard are not reprints, i.e. there's a larger amount of cards that were put to print with a relatively unknown power level.

I am willing to entertain the thought of adding some Marvel cards to my Commando deck and my decks on Magic Arena. I am not too crazy about Marvel from a flavour perspective, but I don't have a bee in my bonnet about it either. It's "whatever" to me.
>>
>>98217154
The point of modern, legacy or vintage is to showcase cards from throughout the games history. If that results in only combo or aggro being viable, simply nerf - not kill - the offending decks until they're manageable and control, prison and midrange become viable again.

1) 4G vs 3GG. Thraggles existed in a standard where you were encouraged to play three color decks and you could literally just throw a splash of green into anything you wanted.
2) Beast triggers on leaving the battlefield rather than just death. Resto + Thragtusk was the bread and butter of the format. Flickering Thragtusk once gave you a ton of value in a way that cannot be duplicated with Workshop Warchief
3) 5 life is more than 3 life. Burn was a real deck at that point in time with Stoke the Flames being a powerful card and used to close out games pretty often. If you flickered a Thragtusk once you could not lose to burn.

It's pretty crazy that Thraggles MacTuskington is still powercreeping cards of the same rarity that came out a decade later. Talk about a design mistake.

Cumulative Upkeep. Textbook example of a mechanic that gets unfairly hated by morons simply because almost every card with it is bad. People who can't separate mechanics from their pre-existing uses are "but I did eat breakfast" people.

I've been trying to think of an option for my favorite mechanic for the thread question. I think Cum Upkeep is a great choice, wide design space that opens up power space to close out long games, without having that power space BTFO early games.

I think I'll end up settling on Vanishing/Fading. Similar space, but cleaner. Vanishing is the better of the two, a marginal improvement for mechanics clarity. Either way, Blastoderm is a perfect creature.
Any format where Blastoderm is playable is a healthy format. Formats where it isn't playable could be healthy too, but the Blastoderm test is a good way to know for certain.
>>
>>98220505
CU is better than Fading/Vanishing because CU involves more decisionmaking. A permanent with CU asks you a question every turn: "how much is this thing worth to you?" You gotta re-evaluate them every turn based on the board state and expected plays. Fading/Vanishing just exist until they don't, you don't need to think about them.
>>
>>98220552
>CU is better than Fading/Vanishing because CU involves more decisionmaking.
It's not always about more decisionmaking, but also higher quality decisions and the impact of their outcomes.

Another great example I'd give is Radiance. One of the greatest mechanics of all time in terms of gameplay. Difficult to navigate, risky to play, high reward plus the ability to manage its variance when you encounter scenarios where it's "Bad" (mirror matches)

That Radiance was regarded as a failure of a mechanic indicates how wrong-headed MTG's designers (Namely, in the context of judging keywords in this context, Mark Rosewater) are. That they care more about the game feeling good, than actually being good.
>>
>>98220552
>Fading/Vanishing just exist until they don't, you don't need to think about them.
Ah, in this context though, you have to consider more decisions than merely in-game.
Deckbuilding is a huge part of MTG decisionmaking. Fading does a lot of work to make deckbuilding more thoughtful. Is Blastoderm better than just a vanilla 5/5 for 2GG? They can't kill it, but it kills itself. Variety like that creates healthy game states and interesting formats.

It's a 3 mana sorcery that creates four 4/4.

>>98221974
Raker shops is already trying to chain sensei's tops to grind down the opponent with Raker triggers, this gives them another 3 drop kill condition that doesn't require going infinite and can be cast off of workshop. It's worse in sphere shops but something like an opener of workshop, fantasticar, mox, mox, sphere is a plausible opener that puts 16 power into play with haste.
>>
>>98221718
my excitement for the card is already gone by now, it's clear it's going to get restricted and we'll just have to deal with the fact that sometimes shops decks will deal 16 damage on turn 1 with their 1-of for the rest of time

>>98221974
you can cast it off a single land (mishra's workshop) in a format filled to the brim with fast artifact mana
>>
>>98222098
The sick thing about the car is that you can slot it in a blue deck and conceivably hit t1 16 power since it counts itself as 1 of the 4 spells cast.
>>
>>98222194
remember they have too haste :)
>>
>>98222194
I'm less worried about blue decks abusing it because unless you're playing PO, the average blue deck doesn't run enough fast mana to cast and trigger it on turn 1

Second issue of the Jace comic is out. Vague summary:
>Despite ending on a cliffhanger of going to Shiv in his memory with Tezz last issue, second issue says that Jace can't actually remember much of that
>Instead he's in a memory of Kamigawa, presumably of the Nezumi village burning, while Vraska empathises with his pain
>Then he's remembering Tezz scarring him as punishment
>As Jace talks through his feelings on Tezzeret as a replacement father figure of sorts back then, he remembers Shiv again
>Jace asks Tezz what they're there for, after some needling Tezz says they're there for an artifact, a Sylex, though he doesn't explain to Jace what that is and shoots down Jace's attempts to pry further
>They're ambushed by some viashino raider-types, Jace tries to subdue them but Tezz says fuck that and raises a nearby Thran relic to butcher them
>Afterwards Jace tries to say he had it, Tezz says "fuck you, be pragmatic"
>And elsewhere on Shiv, Adeliz (who is, incidentally, finally confirmed as Jodah's daughter) and Squee along with some others are searching for, presumably, the Sylex as well
>Squee's guiding them along, then is blown up (he gets better) by an ambush of goblin raiders, which Adeliz rather single-handedly handles
>Back in the present, Jace is talking about how Tezz seemed very single-minded about finding the Sylex, meanwhile Vraska warns they can't stay for long because SOMETHING is getting closer
>While Jace remembers more things, turns out it's dinosaurs outside, because Ixalan
>Jace is more just determined to figure out what the fuck was going on with that Sylex and everything, and what did he end up doing there, and Vraska's more concerned with potential imminent death by dino
>To be continued
Still not that enthralled by this, to be honest. Dunno why it's a story, I guess?
>>
>>98222525
Like, okay, my main thoughts are that I'm not compelled by this Jace. Jace is compelling to me when he's brushing up between his own trauma pushing him down darker impulses and his genuine desire to be better, or when he's constantly painfully aware of how much harm he could be doing. He's not really anything more than a tagalong that Tezz is an asshole boss to in the flashbacks, and in the present he's just kinda vaguely introspective.
