Are RWU counter-burn decks fairly effective in Modern? I want to have a pretty versatile deck type prepared to go that has a chance of winning. I don't have goyfs, nor the desire to pick them up, and I already have most of the c/uc stuff for the UWR lists I've been looking at. The biggest things I would need are some of the bigger INN/RTR cards that see play. __________________ Wisconsin - smells like dairy air!I collect Granite Gargoyles. Send them my way.

Since you never posted your list it's kinda hard to make suggests. Preacher, perhaps? Moat? Magus of the Disk? Etc.

My list isn't really presentable to others for perusal. I'm trying to work on that. Morph, madness, unearth, flashback, spellshapers, and cycles. See? I need to expound on which morph and spellshapers dudes are in the cube, but that will take time. I thought about using Gatherer to find me a random white rare, but it took forever to get to one and it was Winnow. Not really a cube card IMO. There is very little, if any, counter magic or protection. I might not even be running Voidmage Prodigy, can't remember. __________________ *My LJ*Letter Bombs!*FB*Logout- MM is a copycat!

EDH, and thank you both. Looking to see if there is any blink effect worth considering for messing around with Aurelia. Flickerform is mostly what i'm going for. Thinking Aurelia + Reusable Blink + SoFaF is another infinite combat. One-shot effects won't cut it, nor the ones that specify returning at the end of turn. Anything remotely similiar to Master Transmuter in these colors/artifacts, where i can return to hand/flash back? It's a shame she doesn't give you another main phase. Ok, is this too complicated? 9 lands, Aurelia, Reito Lantern, SoFF, Sunforger, Whispersilk Cloak, and Leonin Shikari. Cloudshift in library. Have Shikari equipped with SoFF and Cloak, and Aurelia with Sunforger. Attack, untap creatures, gain new combat step, combat damage, untap lands, unattach Sunforger, cast Cloudshift to blink Aurelia, bury it with Reito Lantern, equip Aurelia with Sunforger, attack, reapeat.

I'm assuming you mean Baleful Strix from Planechase 2012. 40 is quite a bit. You could try a buylist but you'll probably have to piece it together from multiple sellers. Not sure of many retailers that have that many in stock either so I'm not sure. That said, they're in the $13-$15 range on eBay so I'd aim for that at most.

We got a deal from our local store at $10.50 when he was selling them for $15. That being said he had the stack of them for 3+ months (had them before they raised in price and no one bought them) Maybe if you are buying 40 try offering $400? __________________ Member Since 03/28/2001 12000+ posts 1st in posts in Ontario and Canada 9th in posts on MOTL 5th in Refs in Ontario Pushing to get to top 100 in MOTL Refs

It likely because its a new set release on Friday and some people might think they'll have sub par decks if they don't have the new cards. __________________ Member Since 03/28/2001 12000+ posts 1st in posts in Ontario and Canada 9th in posts on MOTL 5th in Refs in Ontario Pushing to get to top 100 in MOTL Refs

My version of MWS finally crapped out for the last time. Downloaded it again, from a different site, and got an interface that looks very different. Gonna have to get used to it. It's prettier, but... I'm a curmudgeon, and liked the old one.__________________ "I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. I do not think they will sing to me." -T.S.

Yes. I like this approximate version atm, although you can build a more controlling deck too. Add boros charm x2 in for the Electrolyze.
