I've been toying with the idea of a turn 3 {spine of ish sah} into a turn 4 {possessed portal} still have to playtest what to tak out because it is tight. Karn alwys feels better to cast than the spine, but the portal lock seems.. Powerful.

So I love playing GR Tron in Modern.
Here's the list:
Creatures (4)

3 {Wurmcoil Engine}
1 {Emrakul, the Aeons Torn}
Planeswalkers (4)

4 {Karn Liberated}
Lands (20)

1 {Forest}
1 {Ghost Quarter}
4 {Grove of the Burnwillows}
1 {Llanowar Wastes}
4 {Urza's Mine}
4 {Urza's Power Plant}
4 {Urza's Tower}
1 {Eye of Ugin}
Spells (32)

4 {Chromatic Sphere}
4 {Chromatic Star}
4 {Expedition Map}
4 {Oblivion Stone}
4 {Relic of progenitus}
4 {Ancient Stirrings}
4 {Pyroclasm}
4 {Sylvan Scrying}
Sideboard

3 {Torpor Orb}
2 {Spellskite}
1 {Wurmcoil Engine}
3 {Combust}
3 {Nature's Claim}
3 {Slaughter Games}
.... That list is Cedric Phiilips' PTQ 3rd place decklist. It's almost identical to what I play... But I get tempted by the mono blue list (see below) when I get bummed about getting beaten by uwr control, or rug delver, with all the counter magic.

But I've been thinking. It would be cool (competitive?) to try and run a list with {possessed portal} and maybe {spine of ish sah}. Does anyone have thoughts or comments on the decks, or my random thought to try something different? I saw the benefits of spine/portal as a soft lock to stop card draw and wipe my opponents resources. The spine plus wurmcoil can generate greater quantities of saccable permanents than my opponent should have....
P.s. I also main board 2 {city of brass} so I can board into 4x {swan song} to beat {sowing salts} as well as counter magic... It's even good in the mirror. I feel it's faster than {slaughter games} especially if I am on the draw.

Any thoughts or comments? Viable? Seems lacking on turn one, could mby use {spell snare} or {engineered explosives}? I was thinking {chalice of the void} to stop mono red with 1cc spells? I sb delver to move into more aggro control, possibly taking out snake. The recalls for affinity, metamorphs to copy my artifacts, can be returned via {academy ruins} and can kill legends.

That makes me mad! They should reprogram their software so it doesn't tease people. Im going to check my local stores though

Just downloaded it for Xbox and was given a code to get a free card! But haven't figured out how to work that... I went to the website provided and found no help :(

Looking to trade for {Vedalken Shackles}. I'd like to get three eventually. I can look at trade binders if you say you have one+ to trade, as I have not put together my binder yet. I am also willing to purchase.

I do not know how to view another's trade binder or needed binder. I've been looking into the "Trade" forum and have wanted to view others' collections, but have not succeeded. I can click a user's icon and see their stats, but no binder. Help please :).

If I put a {Sakashima the impostor} in play copying my commander, and then deal damage to my opponent with the sakashima... Does that count as commander dmg?

Hey all! Thinking of running this in standard! What do you all think.

I think it would be cool to run a mono black deck that is pseudo control with {Infernal Darkness}\{Hex Parasite}\{Vampire Hexmage}. Any thoughts?

I am {Springeralready}... Lol interesting

How do {Godhead of Awe} and {Gideon Jura} interact
