Should Splinter Twin be banned in Modern? What about Birthing Pod? Be sure to watch our Shuffle Up & Play where Cedric Phillips and Patrick Sullivan in no way answer this question by playing Modern Splinter Twin vs Birthing Pod: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m7OTfciQu725lok.html

Twin might not be overpowered for modern but it certainly homogenizes things and leads to a frustrating playstyle of "I need a clock to pressure the Twin player but if I tap out, in comes Deceiver EoT and I lose." Not to mention imagine cards like 3feri/FoN, or Veil for Tarmotwin.

Splinter Twin just isn't fast enough to dominate Modern nowadays. It will certainly see some play but it doesn't hold up to the MH2 tribal decks which make up like 80% of the metagame.

If it weren't for the personalities playing, this would have been three of the worst games I've ever seen. It's not a magic game; it's two players playing two different games racing to see who gets there first. Thank god WotC isn't stupid enough to print cards like The Rack again, but they keep trying to help Mill become a thing.

Note on cards swapped out: "Bloodchief Ascension, yes it can hit those crabs but I really don't think i need that much creature removal" Bloodchief Ascension wouldn't be in the deck in relation to creature removal. It is a card hitting the graveyard from anywhere, not just creatures dying on the field. Meaning that discard will also trigger it and hurt alot. Not saying removal was automatically a bad idea. Just think Spice might have missread the trigger.

I think that April simply doesn't understand how good Leyline of the Void is, ESPECIALLY against discard. There are two possibilities: either it's in your opening hand, and so you get to start the game with it in play (this has never happened); or you draw it later in the game, and you have an easy choice to discard later since it's just a dead card. Super OP when you think about it.

@MikeWasThere Жыл бұрын

What are you even beating with leylinr

@Malthan Жыл бұрын

So it takes away a card in your starting hand - exactly what you want to do when playing vs 8rack, right? It also hoses basically 1 card in the opponents deck, while also shutting down some of your cards that care about the number of cards in opponents graveyard. Sideboarding it in vs 8rack is almoast getting a handicap.

@Felixr2 Жыл бұрын

By that logic, the best strat against discard is to only have unplayable cards in your deck so you never discard anything important. I think you just solved Magic.
