Best Fatties against the Meta

Modern forum

Posted on Dec. 5, 2015, 11:49 a.m. by Stein_

I want to hear the communities opinion on this matter.

What do you think the best FATTY creatures are in modern against the top 8 meta?

Now, we all know Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite and Iona, Shield of Emeria are awesome in their own right and matchups, but what other creatures do you see past the 6-mana slot that have great value, and can possibly take over the game??

Sphinx is awesomesauce. @EvenDryke we all know the eldrazi are silly as well haha. @kyuuri117 Ragebeast is pretty cool, and seems fun as a sideboard card for sure!

Personally, I prefer hard to remove stuff like Gaea's Revenge, Sigarda, Host of Herons, Thragtusk. I think Worldspine Wurm is an underrated guy. I'm not sure anything quite beats Wurmcoil Engine for value at the 6 mana slot.

hell yeah @Wizard_of_the_Broke! I deff wanna try Gaea. I run Sigarda board, tusk main. Wurm is nonbo with reanimator, and Wurmcoil is nasty nasty for sure. right now my 6 mana slot is Grave Titan. :p

Blood Baron of Vizkopa and Myr Battlesphere are two of my most recent pet cards that absolutely DESTROY certain metagames.

Blood Baron of Vizkopa is nearly invulnerable. His 4 toughness means it takes double Lightning Bolt. He dodges Path to Exile, Abrupt Decay, Dismember, Go for the Throat, etc. The only thing that can hit him is Roast, and only for a little while.

Myr Battlesphere is an incredible clock. The tokens also mean decks like Affinity can't break through. Then there's still this bullshit 4/7. Even if the opponent Path to Exiles the main body, there's still a clock going from the 4 1/1 tokens.

I like Blightsteel Colossus too. Not saying he'd be good right now.

I know you said 6+ but Kalonian Hydra wrecks face.

Oh and there is mono red's phyrexian secret Moltensteel Dragon. Pump with life until you get lethal. That card destroys face.

If you have Jace/LoTV in your build, Sun Titan can and will just wreck
