Did you ever really need a sideboard for twin or bloom? Those were both solid games for 8rack, especially when running smallpox.

Guessing the 2 {erase} were there for either.

I always use to get beaten 2-1 by them! Even when piloted by new players to those decks! Bloom would get something big of the feed before my bridge or pact me to death!
And twin always top decked into a twin win! Or just best me down after bouncing my bridge!

Gone back to mono black list! As predict the meta to be tron, aggro, blood moon

Wouldn't 8rackdos be better against both torn and aggressive decks? More land hate in red(crumble to dust) and bolts/Kolaghan's command for aggro.

I do some testing on red/black lists!

Never been a fan for some reason! But if they work out I'll make some modifications.

After taking a break from modern for medical reasons( a shrieking affliction you might say)   I'm back from the veil, and here to stretch my way to tier 1 8rack lol

With the explosion that is eldrazi, I am bring this deck out of the rack and as into the light as I will waste not this chance!

So 4 place in a eldrazi fueled wasteland that is modern tournaments atm.

Eldrazi are a good match up for me!
I get rid of them 2-0 sometimes 2-1

So far tested against U/R, colourless and B versions.

Have only lose one game to U/R as I risked a one land hand.

Currently up to date list

{Murderous Cut} maybe? You discard enough that you can play it for {B}...I dunno. Might be worth some testing.

Love the archetype. Glad you're wrecking those Eldrazi.

It works best in the packrat variant.
And the 2 power is bad with bridge.


If I have to use a manland I'll use {Blinkmoth Nexus}
As I only need one card in hand and pump up after declaring an attack.

How have the bitter blossoms been? I found them lack luster. A card that does nothing the turn it comes down, then gets you a 1/1 flier that has summoning sickness seemed kinda bad to me. I get they can attack under brigde, but they never seemed worth it to me.

I have also never been a fan. They don't help your gameplan at all, I would much rather play more discard.
