Now that Modern is an FNM format I decided we needed a discussion for it. So what decks dis you play at you Modern FNM and how did they do?
3/8/2013
2-2 with W/U/R
0-2 vs Kiki-Pod, made a poor decision g1 that let him get Kiki back.
Bye
2-0 vs Gifts-Rites
1-2 vs Eggs, another bad play, I didn't leave enough mana open to activate both {Relic of Progenitus}
My city doesn't have a modern format. At least near me. I only know of 2 places in my town that sells magic, and I'm not sure the other one does tournaments. They tried to get modern going in my town, but people only showed up for the first three times and stopped coming.
I only have: standard, booster draft, and legacy to choose from. As well as prerelease's. But I'm not going to do standard...guess ill have to make my modern decks good enough for legacy...there dual lands don't even have a drawback, and then there are the mox's...
3/15/2013 3-2 Finished 3rd playing U/W/R Geist
0-2 vs Kiki-Pod
2-0 vs Some kind of home-brewed red deck
2-1 vs B/W
2-1 vs Affinity
1-2 vs Kiki-Pod in top 4
Went 4-4 with Merfolk at a PTQ. I was impressed as it was my first big event.
Last Friday went 1-3
Didn't pay attention to the modern next week thing and brought a standard deck
1-2 to a persist
2-1 to a mono B vampire
0-2 to a interesting RUW board wipe deck
0-2 to a RU mill copy deck
Yay my thread got pinned!!
Went 3-1 with Geist of Saint Win (U/W/R)
2-1 vs. U/W Tron with gift/rites package
2-0 vs. Grixis Delver
0-2 vs. Jund
2-0 vs. Dimir Tempo
0-2 vs. infect in top 8
I went 3-1 with Master affinity.
2-0 againt rdw ({Spellskite})
0-2 jund
2-1 eggs
2-0 naya-pod ({Whipflare} and {Blood Moon} killed the mana base)
Went 3-1 with my RDW deck, lost against Boros life gain 1-2. Beat:
Merfolk (Really surprised there) 2-1
Boros Aggro 2-0
Another RDW deck 2-0
I took an Eggs' Modern deck to my FNM a little less than a month ago.
I went 3-1 to the Semifinals and lost to Mono U Tron.
Round 1: Jund 2-0 Leyline was the best card to win and it is best to go first to get Lotus Blooms out of the hand.
Round 2: Affinity 2-1 Pyrite Spellbomb is amazing early on with Conjurer's Bauble backup. Chalice of the Void, Pithing Needle, Blind Obedience are the best sideboards against the deck.
Round 3: WR Aggro 2-0 A weird brew that made no sense.
Round 4: Living End. 1-2 A deck, playing against it is rather weird because I normally suspect Jund with the lands they play and I rushed to go-off. Echoing Truth and Silence are going to be the best plays here.
Semi-Finals: 1-2 I lost because Silence and Swan Song didn't do the job I was hoping for. I only drew one of them in the sideboard games. The match up is pretty unique with their counter and bounce spells.
Went to my LGS for Modern tourney, since they hold Modern on either the third or fourth Friday of each month. We had 22 players, so 5 rounds of Swiss with cut to top 8.
Round One vs John (Jund Aggro Assault Loam)
Good guy, though I have never beaten him. He got out a Countryside Crusher on turn 4 while I had out 2 Lords, with one of his lands turned into an island. I cast Master of Waves, got 6 tokens and next turn beat him down for the win. Game 2 was pretty much the same, except i had 2 Master of Waves down on turn 5 and had his graveyard removed from Relic of Progentius. He conceded and wasn't very happy about it, complaining about having my key card both games by turn 5. I thought to myself, "its where you cut me to."
1-0
Round Two vs Donald (mono-black with slight red splash)
Both games where quick beatdowns on my part. Game one all I saw were two pack rats. Game two I saw a Desecration Demon, but it was either tapped down by Reejerey or Snagged back to hand.
2-0
Round Three vs Krieg (homebrew Gruul)
This was a fun interesting matchup. He was basically using mana ramp to get to Purphorus, and then would start casting spells to give him multiple creatures, such as Xenagos. First game I didn't know what hit me, and it was over quick. Game Two i think i boarded in Tidebinders and Spellskite to stop his targeting. I shut down his mana base, and won with an army of islandwalkers. Game three I sided in my lone swan song, just in case he cast Purphorus. It wasnt needed, as my Merfolk army annihilated him.
3-0
Round Four vs Dylan (Izzet Delvermancer)
We intentional drew this, as 10 points guaranteed top8. We played for fun anyway, in which i learned that young pyromancer is nasty in multiples. He beat me in 3 games, which did not include sideboarding.
3-0-1
Round 5 vs Kevin
Another intentional draw, since he was 3-1 and guaranteed top8. We didn't even play, so I had no idea what he ran. More on that later.
3-0-2
Top 8 vs Kevin (Mono-black)
This was the same guy from round 5. We looked at each other and said, now we have to play. Game One was over in about 7 turns, as Merfolk like to swim through the swamps to the islands. Game two I was in control throughout, keeping his Obliteraters at bay, until he drops down Gary and hits me for 16, killing me instantly. Game Three was another quick swimdown fest for the merfolk.
4-0-2
Semifinals vs Matt (janky Esper Control)
Game 1 he kept a decent hand, with double thoughtseize, which he used the first two turns. He also shocked himself with a Hallowed Fountain. After that he had no answers to any of my creatures. It was over by turn 6. Since I didn't see much of his deck, no sideboard. Game Two he got me under a double Isochron lock, with one imprinted with Echoing Truth and the other with Silence. Ashiok came down and killed me. Game Three I sided in Steel Sabotage, and he cut me right to them. Opening hand had both. Spreading seas cut him off from his white sources, and thats all she wrote.
5-0-2
Finals vs Dylan (Izzet Delvermancer)
Same opponent from round 4. I gave him the win, since it was 130 in the morning and everyone was getting tired. Besides, he wants the points and I have no use for them.
5-1-2
We proceeded to open our packs. My 4 contained Abhorrent Overlord (yuck),
Hammer of Purphorus (already have 4), Sylvan Carytid (need for standard, if I play), Prophet of Kruphix (interesting) and a foil Fleecemane Lion! Plus the FNM promo Sin Collector.
All in all, I had a great time and loved the diversity the format has. There was at least 10 different decks represented, including a BG standard deck that almost top8.
I sided out Cursecatcher nearly every game, as he didn't do much for me. I would usually side out a spell pierce also. I never sided in the Hurkyl's or the Grafdiggers.
Deck list as follows:
3 Cursecatcher
4 Lord of Atlantis
4 Master of the Pearl Trident
4 Silvergill Adept
2 Phantasmal Image
2 Kira, Great Glass-Spinner
2 Merrow Reejerey
3 Master of Waves
4 AEther Vial
3 Spell Pierce
3 Vapor Snag
4 Spreading Seas
1 Cavern of Souls
15 Island
4 Mutavault
2 Tectonic Edge
SB: 2 Hurkyl's Recall
SB: 2 Tidebinder Mage
SB: 2 Grafdigger's Cage
SB: 2 Relic of Progenitus
SB: 2 Spellskite
SB: 1 Swan Song
SB: 2 Spell Snare
SB: 2 Steel Sabotage

Seems like a very weird meta. No Tron, Pod, American Control, Infect or Affinity?
There was one tron build that went 2-3. One affinity that made top8. This was my first modern that I attended here. 22 players. Other than that, I wasnt paying much attention to all the decks.
So went to my first modern FNM and had a great time loving modren the deck I have picked to start playing in modren, it is Living End and it has been a blast to play my FNM err ultra were RW soul sisters 2-0, RG Tron 2-0, mono black 2-1 and last round Affinity 2-0 ended up 1st so was very happy with the first run out.
Went 4-0 with Mill tonight. Beast mode. Last round was Tron, that was a tough match up.
5-1 with RDW
I love giant adephage... its good in the monsters deck. I personally play a playset in my modern mana ramp deck
Quote from: ConanEdo on January 29, 2014, 09:50:16 AM
Went to one last week, lost to goddamn {{Giant Adephage}} when I kept a hand with Melira, VoR, Kitchen Finks, BoP, and three land, then did not see one of three sac outlets, 4 Birthing Pods, or 3 chord of callings over the next seven turns and then lost again after again, not seeing Pod or Chord and not being able to find combo pieces...after that I proceeded to trash Living End and Vampires, before losing a close match to UWR control. Still GIANT ADEPHAGE *head desks*
...wut. Is there a good way to play that card? Aside from having your opponent not draw anything, that is :P
Adephage? Its my turn 3 usually, then It has a stupid combo with {Doomgape}
I used my Tibalt Deck. 5-1
Went to Wednesday modern last night and
4-0'd with Kiki-Pod.
Round 1 win 2-1 mono green belcher
Game 1 he mans ramps like a crazy with the defender wall mana maker. And kills me with char belcher. Game 2 he gets shut down by aven minds censor and linvala. Game three I combo out turn 4.
Round 2 win 2-0 rwu midrange
Win with the combo after he taps out to play Geist. Game 2 turn 3 thrun he can't recover from.
Round three 2-0 rwu mana ramp into some enchantment combo. Game 1 combo kill and game 2 he played a turn three blood moon :/ good thing I had conscripts and Kiki in hand. Turn 4 chalice on 2 to keep from digging, turn 5 conscripts , turn 6 Kiki win.
Won 5-0 with my humans deck. Those eldrazi never stood a chance....
I went 5-1 with my humans deck. Got Darien out against a guy still playing his torn deck. Took one hit from an eldrazi and just swarmed him to death
Quote from: ConanEdo on February 21, 2014, 11:41:33 AM
8th place at first GPT, 40 people. I defeated living end, gifts, and Naya midrange. Almost to black white token and Zoo. Lost to twin in the final, never saw pod in 3 games.
Congrats. What deck? GPTs are really fun, js.
I came in 2nd, but never won one.
6-0 with my Blue White Turn Five deck. Took out Merfolk, Splinter twin, Tron, Zoo, and this weird Mind slaver deck
I played RUG Twin , Dickmann's list at a my group gauntlet testing. I came in 2nd out of 16. Report will be up if interested.

It really is amazing to have if we ever want to take the lists to a GP or GPT. Frankly, there is no difference with the lists if proxied or not.

Yeah, currently we have Pod, (Kiki and Melira) UWR, Tron and Zoo and Elves (Combo and Warrior Brew) built, but it would be nice to actually have a real Living End, DelverBear/DelverMancer, Jund and probably a Blue Moon (I have hardly any experience playing against that deck) to also have on hand. I hate the fact that I'm missing Richmond this weekend, I've been grinding my list so hard =/.
So getting ready for GP Minneapolis this Saturday. I go play a friendly 4 round tourney. When I say friendly I mean 30 ppl getting ready for Saturday.
Round 1 against u/g/b infect? Win 2-1
Game 1 we both mull to five. I see nothing the first three turns and he hits the nuts.
Game 2 he tries a quick attack for 7 poison but a p2e gives him a land and no creature. I combo soon after with Kiki and exarch.
Game three he floods with no gas to attach his stuff. I best down with combo available anytime.
Round 2 b/w/u mill loss 1-2
Game 1 I fetch turn 1 and 2 into 2 archive traps. Lose soon after.
Game 2 I combo out turn for staring at 2 hedron crabs.
Game three he hits all the mill and mills me the turn before I would have comboed. Dumb glimpse.
Round 3 2-0 win aggro loam
Game 1 he mulls to 5 and I get a relic going quick. Use beatdown plan with townships and exalted. New modern player so didn't have me on pod yet.
Game 2 I combo turn 5. He says after, "so if I see a wall of roots. I should think pod."
Round 4 win 2-1 u/r storm twin
Game 1 turn before I go off he tries to go but whiffs ending with 2 blue cards and 10 red mana to play them.
Game 2 he gets pedtermite/ splinter twin on and I lose.
Seeing that linvala comes back in, spellskite in. Game three turn 2 spellskite followed by podded into cannonist shuts him down long enough for me to pull it out.
Side note saw tron go 1-3 proceeded by the guy tearing it apart and staring at all the cards. Thought of Taysby and I have no idea what you look like. Tron may be awesome, as long as it stays down in the 0-2 bracket I'm ok with it.
What deck did you use.
Played goblins. Beat two living end decks, and a melira pod. Lost too my own hive mind deck (lent it to a friend) and Naya Zoo. 3-2
Prize pack contained a {Glacial Fortress}
How did you beat Mpod?
Failed to do very much. The guy got really bad draws. He won game two then got bad draws again game three
Ok. Good job!
Modern tourney tonight, 1st gets a box so ill post my results/matches tonight or tmrw :) wish me luck! Piloting either affinity or UWr midrange.
So. Went to my LGS. Nobody came. Waited for an hour, and then the owner informed me everyone was at some big state tournament, sigh. So would have crushed. I see myself at 3-1, losing to DJ's American Control deck, again. (And crushing Tron, again ;) )
Second. Took hive mind. Lost when someone playing land destruction blew up my main mana source (utopia sprawl on a forest)
I placed 4th piloting UWr midrange, the field included: living end, robots, UR Aggro, fish, scape shift, white weenie, & RW Aggro.
Round 1 (RW Aggro): I won 2-0
Match1 he ran a bunch of haste guys, this was basically a standard deck with paths and helix's thrown in. He actually got me down to 2 life but my geist and colonnade got there.
Match 2: he mulled to 6 and only drew into 1 red source while I bashed with {colonnade} and the {batterskull} I boarded in.
Round2 (Robots): I lost 0-2
I kept an average hand. He played conservatively with ravager and i was unable to control the board when he spell pierced my {cryptic command}.
Match2: I mulled to four, so... Yeah.
Round 3 (Living End): I won 2-0
Match 1: kept a terrible hand vs the deck based on poor scouting. Although triple {lightning bolt} is never that bad lol. (I had thought he was Naya zoo or something I saw a stomping ground, temple garden and a copperline, assumed the scape shift player angered away his guys.) I burned him to death lol. Thanks {Snapcaster Mage} ;)
Match 2: leaked his outburst, played geist early and then he had another outburst {cryptic commanded} . He had used some sideboard card to gain life. Made my clock a little slower but geist with two cryptic commands is always decent ;)
RDW, 2-2. Played against Melira Pod, American Control (lost those two), and won against 8Rack and Mill.

What are you siding for Pod?
Currently still building the side but {Anger of the Gods} is a 3/4 of beaut against pod, tokens, and most other decks played at my LGS that would beat me.

Blew him away. I may have emptied my hand for him but I burned him away way sooner than he could.
kikipod w/ 2 arids, 2 groves, no hierarchs- 2-2 today
lost to ad nauseum 0-2, burn 0-2, beat UWR 2-0 and B/W tokens 2-1
first two were mostly to misplays
Quote from: Taysby on July 06, 2014, 01:38:02 PM
Fnm was modern.
Round one, 8 rack. Easy 2-0 win.
Took first 1-0. :P. It wasn't really a fnm. The store wouldn't even give me a promo. :(
Im interesting in your tron list...
2-1-1
Round one, Black Blue Rack-Win
Round two, Boggles-Win
Round three, {Protein hulk} combo. Lost 2-1 due to not getting any of my gy tech games 2 and 3 and him having leyline for my hand disruption, which seemed kind of unneeded because he's cutting a card for a card which I could discard anyway, and its a terrible draw late game.
Round four: Monoblue tron, tie. Won game one, game two he top decked {platinum angel} when it was the only card that could of saved him. Game 3, ran out of time.
I'm pretty happy how BW tokens performed for its first modern tournament.

2nd place out of 16-man tourney
Round 1: 2-1 Over Ad Nauseum, player didn't have more than one Leyline, allowing me to Thoughtseize him into oblivion
Round 2: 2-0 Over 8Rack, just sat there and out valued him, never really in danger of losing
Round 3: Split to make top 8
Quarterfinal: Same Ad Nauseum list, same result, made a mistake with Chording that allowed him to go off game 1. 2-1 me
Semi: Jund, he never saw Olivia and only saw Pyroclasm once, very lucky and got there 2-1
Finals: Affinity, he dropped 12 cards by turn 3. Game two he swung for 12 infect after I gained infinite life. .loving. stupid 0-2
I was happy to have finally found a competitive modern scene, did ok, but I need to improve my BGx matchup

I do, the problem is Olivia can grow very quickly.
Fair enough
Yesterday I went and crushed it with an undefeated run using Hulk combo.
Matches were
Affinity
It wasn't even real affinity. Weird brew running {Cheif Engineer}. Was not an issue.
The Rock.
He Thoughtseized turn one but I had four hulks and three lands so he got rid of a hulk. Next turn I got the footsteps and t3 I killed him
'Murica Control.
Honestly really easy. He remanded my footsteps. I recast it the next turn and won
Final game!
Scapeshift
This deck just can't touch hulk combo. I went off t1 in one of the games with three {Simian Spirit Guides} 1 blood crypt, 1 {Protean Hulk}, 1 {Faithless Looting} and a {Foitsteps of the Goryo}
I have a short description of the cooler plays in the games above
Mind bumping your deck munch?

Mind bumping your deck munch?
Sure. Just need to edit it quickly.
Not an FNM, but a free tournament. I lost all my matches with an incomplete Eggs deck. First round was 0-2 against Nykthos Green. Never stood a chance in either game. Round two was 1-2 against Living End... Three close, fun games. Last round was against some random Samurai deck... Lost the match because he gave himself hexproof and Banefire was my only win condition. Afterwards I picked up Emrakul to finish off the deck and reworked the sideboard.
My first Modern FNM is this Friday.
Went 1-3 at the FNM with a complete list this time. Went off a few times, and had many vey close losses, mostly against control decks... One blue with a Tron shell, one American. I feel I'm getting better at piloting the deck and the wins will come. It's a very fun deck to play. The only game I wasn't close in was against a very polished UR Delver deck.
3-1 yesterday at FNM, playing combo less junk pod
Round 1: Zoo
Easy matchup. Siege Rhino + Finks get the job done pretty well. Easy 2-0
Round 2: Tron
I won a game, more than I can normally say. Both games 1 and 3 he resolved emrakul. I can't exactly answer that. Particularly annoying game 3 which was completely one sided until the Emmy.
Round 3: Delver
Game 1 I grinded him out, went to board in chalice, cast chalice turn two, pretty much sealed the deal.
Round 4: Infect
This was hexproof_is_the_best. Game one I died to infect super pump fast. Games two and three I resolved chalice turn two and got way ahead.
Overall took fourth. Not bad, I'm trying a bit more anti tron tech in the board now.
Like {Shriekmaw}?

Against tron? The only thing it kills is Emmy, but they get the extra turn and without chord in the deck I can't get it at instant speed, so it really does nothing

Against tron? The only thing it kills is Emmy, but they get the extra turn and without chord in the deck I can't get it at instant speed, so it really does nothing
You can pod at instant speed I thought.
Like pod away a finks and kill Emmy or Wurmcoil or something

A few things:
1. Shriekmaw can't hit wurmcoil, sadly only hits nonartifacts
2. Finks is a 3 drop and Shriekmaw is a 5, so you can't pod finks into it
3. Sadly, {Birthing Pod} is only sorcery speed.

3-1 yesterday at FNM, playing combo less junk pod
Round 1: Zoo
Easy matchup. Siege Rhino + Finks get the job done pretty well. Easy 2-0
Round 2: Tron
I won a game, more than I can normally say. Both games 1 and 3 he resolved emrakul. I can't exactly answer that. Particularly annoying game 3 which was completely one sided until the Emmy.
Round 3: Delver
Game 1 I grinded him out, went to board in chalice, cast chalice turn two, pretty much sealed the deal.
Round 4: Infect
This was hexproof_is_the_best. Game one I died to infect super pump fast. Games two and three I resolved chalice turn two and got way ahead.
Overall took fourth. Not bad, I'm trying a bit more anti tron tech in the board now.
Bruh. You I'm kaalia with haste now. Why can't you respect my life choices? *sobs

I have a fulminator Mage in the board, but it's kinda slow and unreliable
