This looks suspiciously similar to Spencer's deck
Which is where? I got it off a tcgplayer article and messed around with the card numbers a bit. I'll probably add a few more new things when I get time.
I like {cavern of souls} in this deck. I can't believe I didn't think of that. I'd cut the genesis chamber down to 2 and add another path and bolt.
The genesis chamber seems so good with purphoroa though... Maybe I should add another legion loyalist.
Saw this on,tcg player. I think there really may be too many triggers to remember haha

I already have most of the norin stuff from my RG norin deck, so don't need much more and thought if try it. :)
Ok, now I need a sideboard for this for a tournament. This is a sideboard I found online, any suggestions for changes? (Also, I'd appreciate being told what those cards are for :P )
2 {Blood Moon}
2 {Brave the Elements}
1 {Dismember}
1 {Path to Exile}
1 {Proclamation of Rebirth}
2 {Rest in Peace}
2 {Stony Silence}
2 {Suppression Field}
2 {Wear // Tear}
:D
Do I need {Grafdigger's Cage} against Pod?
Rest in peace seems better just because there is more artifact hate than enchantment hate in sideboards.
I think Rest in Peace is fine. Also, I have some.
2 {Blood Moon}
2 {Brave the Elements}
1 {Dismember}
1 {Path to Exile}
1 {Proclamation of Rebirth}
2 {Rest in Peace}
2 {Stony Silence}
2 {Suppression Field}
2 {Wear // Tear}
Blood Moon vs any 3 color deck really :p also against decks that rely heavily on their lands like MURICA Control needs {Celestial Colonade} and Tron needs it's bits!
Brave is for removal heavy decks and sometimes just against creature decks so you 7/7 Champ of Parish can get in!
Dismember/Path are for Twin as well as creature heavy decks.
Proclamation i don't really know but it's good against removal heavy decks and I guess it's great vs. control
RIP is for Pod, sometimes MURICA Control (of you're scared of snapcasters,obviously dredge/gy themed decks
Stoney is against AFFINITY!! And Pod
Suppression field I guess is for Affinity and Pod
Wear/tear vs bogle (Hexproof) and for affinity and pod!
Obviously these cards have other uses and I may not be right in some calls so it's up to you but I think that this is a decent start point!
Best of LUCK!!!
And Long. Live. THE WARY!!!
Thanks and +1!! Very helpful.
If u can manage to pick any up, {Arid Mesa} would be the best thing for it
No {leyline of sanctity} in the sideboard? It hurts jund, storm and other targety type things.

Maybe cut the proclamation to sideboard a leyline?

Agreed!
I don't know if it's too great, but I always like {Kataki's war rage} against affinity, and {ethersworn canonist} against storm
Quote from: ConanEdo on May 16, 2014, 09:36:18 PM
Run cage over Rest in Peace. It stops tutoring in Pod which is where it's true power lies and can hose snappy. RIP helps against Living End, but you're more likely to see Pod and UWR.
RIP doesn't work against pod? Wait, I guess they can return it in response to the trigger. So {grafdiggers cage} is better.
Is kataki more useful in the board than {suppression field} ?
And should I play {rest in peace} in the sideboard or {grafdigger's cage}?

RIP is a replacement effect, not a triggered effect, so the finks/redcaps can't return anyways, but the cage is much bettter because with RIP out, they can still tutor and beat you down. It just stops some of the value plays. RIP is even more useless against Kiki-Pod- their combo doesn't even need the graveyard.
Cage it is.
Got 2 battlefield forges, a soul warden, and a path yesterday :D
You need 4 {sacred foundries}
I'm using battlefield forge until I can find or buy some foundries, but they are last on my buy list as the forge works almost as well.
Quote from: E.kann1 on May 18, 2014, 09:03:04 PM

{Clifftop Retreat} disagrees :P

Ah. :(
Since I'm very new to modern I was going to make a "sideboarding guide" for the deck and I was looking for some help with that as well as with the list.
I can't ask anyone to do some, any, or all of this as it's a lot of work, but if you have the time to choose 1 matchup and give your opinion on exactly what to bring in and take out (or close to exactly and I can choose depending on what I see game 1), I'd be VERY appreciative.
Ok. Here's a start.
VS Pod
IN
2 {Wear//Tear}
1 {Path to Exile}
2 {Stony Silence}
2 {Grafdigger's Cage}
OUT
2 {Genesis Chamber}
1 {Grim Lavamancer}
1 {Lightning Bolt}
1 {Soul's Attendant}
2 {Mentor of the Meek}
Do I need {Blood Moon} too?

Blood moon would be good but remember they can pod into {Qasali Pridemage} but still I'd put Moon in here
What would you take out? I think these might shut down pod enough anyway.
Why did you take out Lightning Bolt from Maindeck against Pod? It is actually an amazing card against them.
It isn't great against persist guys. Should I not take it out?
Quote from: E.kann1 on May 23, 2014, 07:38:25 AM

It still gets rid of most of their creatures and Pod usually only runs 7 or less persist guys. Yeah you shouldn't take it out.
Remember you're aggro and a Bolt can just deal 3 to them and win!
So instead of taking bolt out, what else is bad against pod?

Thinking of putting some amount of {proclamation of rebirth} back in the sideboard against UWR control. Thoughts?

In your deck .. I approve 👍👌 fits your style perfectly! Get back 2 Champions and a Norin!!!
{immortal servitude} is better imo.
Maybe.... but it's 4 mana. (For the same effect, basically). I might want to use that extra 1 to cast another soul sister.
Also, I won't need to get Norin back as he's unkillable! ;)
Sideboard
2 Wear // Tear
2 Suppression Field
1 Dismember
2 Blood Moon
1 Path to Exile
2 Brave the Elements
2 Stony Silence
1 Leyline of Sanctity
2 Grafdigger's Cage
15 sideboard cards
Maybe... cut the leyline for proclamation? Or do I need it against storm and burn? Maybe get rid of supression field?
{Stony Silence}
{Grafdigger's Cage}
{Suppression Field}
These are all good against pod. I don't need 6 things to stop it (I don't think) so I feel like I could cut 1-2 for a {Proclamation of Rebirth}. Which are the least useful of these? Personally I'd cut the {Suppression Fields}s. Thoughts?
What do I do about affinity? I guess that's what the supression fields and stony silences are there for.... but I want to cut the supression fields. UGH! Decisions decisions.
Anyone who knows the modern metagame a bit better have ideas?
A T2 {Stony Silence} can wreck them!! Also {Wear//Tear} is a great utility card for you!
So I could cut the Fields?
The way that I see side boarding is this:
1. What decks to I expect?
2. Look at the card.
3. What does it come in against?
4. How many of the decks that I expect does this card come in.
Usually in order for it to be in my SB #4 will have to be 2-3 unless it's needed against a matchup.
SO, looking at {Supression Field} what is it good against?
1. Any Twin variant
2. Affinity
3. Tron lol jk
Actual 3. Would be zoo.
BUT as I was typing this I realized that SF is a control Card wouldn't you much rather just have a card that can end them on spot say bolt or heck even {Ash Zealot} lol
Seems like I have only 4 sideboard cards against affinity, which could be a problem. So I should leave SF in. But I want proclamation of rebirth too. What is the weakest/least useful card in this sideboard?
Maybe.... cut the dismember? It seems kinda random. What's it for... Zoo? 4 life is too much. Affinity? 4 life is a lot. .... Stormbreath dragon? Thundermaw?

{Thundermaw Hellkite} is but it's a 2-of in MURICA midrange. Dragon isn't seeing play YET (my play group is texting Dragon bc pro white in Modern can be nice)
Right, that's what I was wondering why there is a dismember SB.

{Celestial flare} and laugh!
What could I cut from my sideboard? Suppression fields are the only thing I think could come out.
Final sideboard, any last thoughts on it before I buy this thing?
2 {Wear // Tear}
2 {Suppression Field}
1 {Proclamation of Rebirth}
2 {Blood Moon}
1 {Path to Exile}
2 {Brave the Elements}
2 {Stony Silence}
1 {Leyline of Sanctity}
2 {Grafdigger's Cage}
Are the supression fields useful enough against fetches/pod/twin/kiki jiki to not swap out for {Celestial Flare}s? Now that I write that list they seem pretty good... :P but my Twin/Kiki matchup is pretty good with the soul sisters I have, so I don't know.
Just a question but would {Searing Meditation} be viable in R&W soul sisters for lat game mana sink?
I run kikipod and suppression field is a big nuisance sometimes when you're stuck on creatures or mana. Forcing me to burn two more mana stops me from poding at least once maybe even twice if my life total is high and those extra pods I'm not taking gives you more turns to get to something scarier like that damn cage

Makes sense, thanks. I just wish I made more room for anti-bogle tech. :P
The problem comes with the fact you only get 15 for the sideboard. If you could answer every matchup with your sideboard then the deck you are playing musta been insane. I still think you have a great chance against them just play smart
Just finished a game with this... Had 106 life at the end....
Lmfao
3 soul sisters, Norin and a genesis chamber vs gw hatebear stuff. He had left the game the turn before I drew my 4th soul sister....( untap.in)
I'm staring to feel like a second leyline is needed SB. The cards needed for a good hand are relatively specific and in testing I've had many good hands turn into terrible ones after a {thoughtsieze} or 2 rips them apart. I think the proclamation of rebirth is a little random anyway.
Question is, which is better?: more consistency against thoughtsieze or a possible better matchup against UWR control?
I'm thinking the second leyline is better.
I'm having a hard time deciding whether to bring this up to 22 lands or not... it does have a few 4 drops. Maybe with no fetches and 21 lands it'll be ok.
How does it play? Do you find that most of your hands don't have enough land? If so, bump it up. If not, don't add any.
I've been testing it with both and find I draw a little too many with 22 and occasionally not enough with 21. Maybe... Play half a land! :P
I guess more testing is in order.
Do you have the physical deck?
I was in the process of ordering it tonight when I thought about this. I've been playtesting a LOT on untap.in.
Ordered everything! Cost me a bit of money, but I'm very happy! :)
Of course, I have no trades over $5 after selling everything on tcgplayer to buy this deck, but whatever :P
I HATE {Torpor Orb}. It destroys my whole deck... It is literally my least favorite card in the whole format, with {Thoughtsieze} at a close second....
I'm still debating a 1 card sideboard change:
-1 {Suppression Field} (Good vs pod, twin)
+1 {Pithing Needle} (Good vs pod, twin, walkers, colonnades, affinity, BAD against torpor orb)
OR
+1 {Wear//Tear} (Good vs pod, twin but not kiki-jiki, affinity, GOOD against torpor orb)
Can someone who is not as new to the format and knows more about the meta give me a hand here? Thanks!! Much appreciated.
What exactly do you need?
I want to stop {torpor orb} because it sits down my whole deck. However I got some advice from a friend that I'm better off with a pithing needle. Problem is, needle does nothing vs orb.
I'm weighing the likelihood of playing against torpor orb vs the gain I get from playing pithing needle over orb (and having a lower chance of being able to deal with orb when I do play against it).
I'm very proud of this deck now... I just won fighting through a hardcasted Emrakul vs Tron... sacced every permanent but my Purphoros and {Champion of the Parish}, lost my champion to a Karn, but still he went to 2 from Purphoros/Norin. Then I attacked with norin and killed him end of turn!! :D :D :D So awesome!

Red and white both have access to artifact hate. Just run something in the SB for orb.
I was gonna say {wear // tear} but you already have.

This was what I meant to say, sorry it was confusing. I was debating wear/tear #3 over pithing needle #1. I've decided on wear/tear, now I just need to find one.

My mistake. When he said above he attacked with norin I thought he meant winning via combat damage.

It's a very useful thing to do.
I've decided to start testing without the {Mentors of the Meek}. I always seem to sideboard them out and am rarely happy to draw them unless I have my "combo engine" going and lots of land. Decklist update will be soon.
Do I need {Spellskite} in the board against Bogle?
It's a rare thing to see bogle.
I know you have tons of hate for twin and stuff but skite deals with both bogle and twin quite well
That is true. I mostly test on untap.in where "modern" is UW merfolk with {Stonybrook Schoolmaster} and {Springleaf Drum} as a combo... so I haven't tested against Twin much. Problem for me against Bogle is really the {Rancor} and the {Daybreak Coronet}. I can deal with it otherwise, even when I don't draw my {Blood Moon}s. I guess that's fixed with the third copy of {Wear//Tear} in the sideboard.
It seems that more testing is in order.
How about {return to the ranks} for this deck? I'm thinking it's better than {proclamation of rebirth}
3 Wear // Tear
1 Suppression Field
1 Proclamation of Rebirth
2 Blood Moon
1 Path to Exile
2 Brave the Elements
2 Stony Silence
1 Leyline of Sanctity
2 Grafdigger's Cage
Still agonizing over this sideboard... I'd really like to make room for 2 of the new {Return to the Ranks}... Seems really good against any removal heavy deck. Plus it can get {Ajani's Pridemate} back. I'd also like another {Suppression Field} against Twin... and {Spellskite} too.... lol.
Couldn't we all agree just to sideboard 20 cards and be done with it?

This is the final list I'll be registering for GP Boston-Worcester next week! We'll see how it goes.... Now onto my sideboard guide. Any help with that would be nice.
Wait 1 is Legion Loyalist worth it? Sure trample and first strike are nice but your swinging with 1/1s who cares about trample ({Charging Badger}) and 1st strike and the tokens (although it kills my deck) won't be too relevant
{Genesis Chamber} tokens.
Plus it's nice to give my 35/35 pridemate trample.

Quote from: ConanEdo on July 22, 2014, 09:39:04 PM
Honestly, neither is tier 1. Both are easily disrupted and as with any linear strategy, it can often just fold.
Did anyone say they were? Competitive is not strictly tier 1, is it?

It is tier 1 and tier 2. Souls Sisters is hardly tier 2 and this isn't even tier 3.
We were talking about being MORE competitive, even if they aren't tier 1.

Ranger of Eos seems kinda meh against pod because the soul sisters wouldn't be as good against it because it can just combo you
It can grab stuff like Norin and champion of the parish for when things turn to creature agro (hopefully) but you may be right.

This isn't really helpful to the discussion of sideboards...
