This is a great idea. No more dumb threads asking about the modern meta again.

Oh hey this is a thing.
Outpost Siege and Stormbreath Dragon are cards that kill abzan that abzan can't use

Should I accept Ryotenchi's challenge and run Cryptic Command in my Junk deck?

I really like the idea of a 
maybe 
splash midrange/ramp deck. Birds of Paradise (Noble Hierarch ideally), Lotus Cobra, Knight of the Reliquary, and fetches make for awesome enablers. A possible turn 3 Primeval Titan. Amulet decks can do this too, but I want to be less combo based.
Thoughts?

Just put the Twin combo in your Abzan deck. Or the Scapeshift combo in Jund.

Junk (as you described) + Blue. TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL...
Thoughts?

Are there any blue cards worth playing in burn? 4c Burn can be forced with Tasigur, but 5c doesn't seem reasonable without Cruise.
April 25, 2015 8:58 p.m.
Kinda iffy on the 4 color burn without Deathrite Shaman...
Dropped the whole white spectrum from mine for testing sadly.. :( Good chance it wont work out. Rakdos Charm doh!! >.>

aeonstoremyliver I have one just like that, except that it uses Baneslayer Angel instead of Primeval Titan.

Atarka's Command just killed my interest in burn that quick... I thought I could double bolt.. :(

Ryotenchi Atarka's Command made me like Burn again. Don't know what you're on about, but it's great.

Skred Red has been performing really well for me lately. But I can't ever seem to beat GR Tron...
I always was running UR Storm, but I recently came across the Twiddle storm lists and I like that a lot better. I'm told it's not as competitive, but from FNM's it's been great.
Here's my two lists: Non-solitaire Storm and Communist Snow Patrol suggestions and critiques welcome!

Can I cast it choosing 3 damage twice? Legally? Its the glue that hold my interest..
April 25, 2015 9:37 p.m.
Exactly... Thats my problem with it.. I thought it was cool.. now its irrelevant ramp, a bad Skullcrack or half a Zealous Persecution that only equates to that amount at 3-4 creatures..
Too bad Young Pyromancer isnt fast enough. :(

April 25, 2015 9:44 p.m.
ThisIsBullshit Ill get over it.. I just need to find a strategy that I feel better takes advantage of it.. Im learning..

So should Esper tokens be a thing? Or is the B/W deck superior?
Also should I try to build a Heartless Summoning midrange deck?
April 25, 2015 10 p.m.
Nope. It's been done too many times. What you can make is a Junk deck that runs Siege Rhino and Cryptic Command...

Has anyone had experience with Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas in Tron? I built U/B Tron as my first Modern deck and took it to 2-2 against a highly competitive field of 18 people on Thursday and I want to know if this kind of Tron has ever been a viable deck. I found some old Tezz Control lists from Shouta Yasooka, but that's all I can find.

All bant decks should run Worship. Because Voice of Resurgence, Sylvan Caryatid, Kira, Great Glass-Spinner and Collected Company are all awesome Worship enablers.

Are you sure its modern legal? if so, coolcool.
April 25, 2015 10:22 p.m.
Jeebus Femme... That is starting to sound out right mean.. o.o Lock peeps out of the game...
April 25, 2015 10:26 p.m.
@Everyone (But especially you Ryotenchi):
3 Remand
2x Thoughtseize
2x Abrupt Decay
24 Lands
Why? Because FUCK why.
April 25, 2015 10:27 p.m.
Iffy on the Obliterators.. challenge wise.. if your just converting your percy jackson deck.. then if it suits yeh. :P

I really want Lotleth Troll to be a thing outside of dredgevine. He's so good, especially if he gets to come down after a turn one like, Birds of Paradise for keeping regenerate up the whole game.
April 25, 2015 10:29 p.m.
That's the point. The Obliterators are just fucking... Well... Fucked up.

@Scorprix But Cryptic Command isn't as classy as Ojutai's Command. Think of the dream of countering a spell AND reanimating a Tarmogoyf!
@Femme_Fatale I've seen Worship as some sideboard tech before, but never as a mainboard thing. Time to brew!

April 25, 2015 10:31 p.m.

April 25, 2015 10:32 p.m.
lemmingllama says... #50
@Controller101 Are you looking for the Extra turns lists, or the Ebony Owl Netsuke build?

God, this has got to be the fourth or fifth string about this subject...
Still awesome though!
