He's right though. Play blood moon and tron cries hard.
Whenever I play red in modern, it's in decks that can't support blood moon.

Anything with {Blood Moon}. No fun to play against.

Mono black devotion/extort decks multiplayer. So annoying.

{Gifts Ungiven} decks that abuse the misprint.

t3 infect decks ><
T2 infect is fun.
{Glistener elf} t1
T2 drop a land, 2 {mutigenic growth }and a {groundswell} or {might of old krosa} or {giant growth}...

Really hate the {U}{R} burn control deck that took over the DOTP15 meta. But in general, any denial deck I dislike. Though it was fun when a friend played my casual stall deck and won out with my own creatures after bleeding me to 8. I felt in control until my creatures turned against me. That's a lot better than the feeling that whatever you do the answer will be a counter.

That last one is my favorite though D:

I can get in the letshateonburn bandwagon. I need LEYLINES in my board. I ain't got no LEYLINES. And whenever I type LEYLINES into my iPad, it autocorrects to an all capital "LEYLINES".




LEYLINES.

{U}{R}{G} control. Whoever thought that was a good idea ought to be shot.

I hate playing with my current arbiter deck. It has so many taxation, magus that only lets one land untap, board wipes , and lockdown effects, the game takes for freaking ever. Last night it durdled for 50 minutes (after it had been going places with action). I literally scooped because I was bored. :/

And here ladies in gentlemen, karma kicks in and one if Taysby's decks ruins /his/ day.

I've found that Heroic in Standard pisses me RIGHT off. It's not that I can't answer it, it's just annoyingly popular in my meta and each one is exactly the same as the last

Have you ever considered trying for red blue counter burn to combat the extremely tough meta that is U/W Heroic? The cast a thing? Counter. They cast a guy? Burn it in the face. They try to protect it? U megamorph your {Stratus Dancer}. I mean, no one I know has thought of doing U/R in standard. It seems like a legit archtype. Just saying.

Eh, my Temur midrange hoses pretty well. Counter things, {Reality Shift} trouble spots, have Surrak go to town on poor schlubs with {Temur Charm}. Ugin hits between turns 4 and 8 to stabilize, Prophet of Kruphix makes them cry, GG.

Like I said, the decks are just annoyingly popular and REALLY predictable. You KNOW they run Hero of Iroas and Ordeals. You KNOW {Monastery Mentor} and {Mastery of the Unseen} are there. There is quite literally NO guesswork when playing these decks.

Well, there may be variance in a few of the lists. Maybe some run Mentor, others might run {Eidolon of Countless Battles}. Just saying.

I hate to play against bounce. Blue/white bounce.
"I'll tap out to play <this>"
Pass turn
*Return target creature to its owner's hand*
Fuuuuu!

But I love those decks. :(

You know, {Capsize} {Boomerang} {Upheaval} {Cyclonic Rift} {Devastation Tide} {Scourge of Fleets} etc.
