I told you so ;)
A nay-sayer is always right.  The bad thing happens and you win cuz you were "right".  The bad thing does not happen and you win cuz the bad thing does not happen.

Besides all that....no one likes an "I told you so guy" 😐
Not to mention, he didn't tell us so, he just said Birthing Pod was a prominent deck, never said anything about banning it.

It was OP but that's fine bc decks ran hate for it and it was fine tbh I liked it bc it made modern powerful and that's what modern should be :P
You were a pod player I see. Care to join the hulk side of things?

I'm seriously thinking about it. I played naya pod so I don't have junk to fall back on.

Going to the last modern tourney on Wednesday to say goodbye to pod. :( I'm kinda sick right now.

To be fair, not even Junk Pod players have Junk to fall back on, we would have to buy {Tarmogoyf}s, {Dark Confidant}s, and {Liliana of the Veil}s.

I said it because someone said "insert I told you so remark from taysby" and I assumed he meant tron being a thing. Not related to bannings.
I see. What is your outlook for GR Tron? Obviously, you are losing one of your best match-ups, but do you think that the deck can fight what is likely to be the new tier 1?

tron also takes a big steamy dump all over jund and junk, but twin smashes it so i think it's kind of a 50/50 for tron here

Tron will be played more, but have frequently bad match ups against other combo decks.

Junk/jund have fine tron matchups. Yea, their abrupt decays become almost worthless but with the amount of disruption they have they'll be fine (yes I realize inquisition isn't awesome against them but taking a map or sylvan scrying super notable and if inquisition really doesn't cut it, they can run duress) also tron has a really rough time fighting through liliana of the veil and if they can't kill te wurmcoil using her they'll just slaughter pact the thing and drop a tarmogoyf/scooze to block. Plus I haven't even talked about post board yet. BGx sides in this: stony silence fulminator Mage aven mindcensor and golgari charm (uses the regenerate mode against oblivion stones). And as I covered earlier, they're not at a lack of things to side out for these.

Ummm no. I have no problem whatsoever fighting kind, their disruption or their Lilly. I-stone is a thing. Even if they do hit a map, I normally have very little problem putting together tron

In the side is torpor orb and pigging needle. In the main is o-stone. Twin gets screwed over
Whenever I play BGx on untap I do well against tron. Maybe I'm playing against poor tron players, but that's just my exerience

Kaalia if I go by my untap record I'd be in the area of 35-5 ... Never go by untap records bc the ppl on there are terrible. The tron players are god awful on it too (other than Taysby I've only played him once a longgggg ass time ago)

And we know how that turned out:/

I for one am glad cos 8 rack now has less bad match ups, treasure cruise was a pain for me! And pod was I difficult one so good riddens! 

Munchlax

Hulk got better matchups now. It still will lose to an insane Bloom Titan draw but it would get wrecked by DTT in scapeshift
