Deckstats Feedback / Very minor bug: wrong "updated" date linking previous revisions

« on: February 24, 2022, 11:01:00 pm »

In this post I've linked a previous revision of a deck: https://deckstats.net/forum/index.php/topic,65180.msg200699.html#msg200699

While the decklist is correct, the "Updated" isn't and shows the date of the last revision instead.

Revision 1

Tuesday at GamersWorld, 1-3-0

1-2 vs. Belcher
0-2 vs. Living End
0-2 vs. Reanimator
2-1 vs. Primeval Titan

Many cards were way too slow (or useless) against the first three decks:
- Banishing Light (*)
- Seal Away (*)
- Karametra's Blessing (*)
- Resurgent Belief
- Destiny Spinner
- Jukai Naturalist (*)
- Halvar, God of Battle

(*) these contributed to winning the last encounter though

Other are just unequivocally bad and have to just be removed:
- Bant Panorama
- Brilliant Restoration

Also
- Didn't get any chance at all to play Weaver of Harmony, nor Nephalia Academy
- I also wasn't able to use Eiganjo, Seat of the Empire, except for mana
- While Rancor is good on paper, Rune of Might might have been better for its draw effect, or more Canopy Cover and Spirit Mantle for the evasion effects, or other Totem Armours

Given this was the first time ever I played Modern, and my first constructed tournament after Alliances, I'm not too disappointed.

Cool, but I'd still prefer Sythis, Harvest's Hand as a commander

Unconvinced by Wild Research.

I think there's plenty of better alternative to the sacrifice lands, be it Mirrodin Core, triomes, three‑kind fetches, Fabled Passage, etc.

Also confused by Mossfire Valley: I'd rather go with Fire‑Lit Thicket.

A pity there's no real wincon, as this looked fun.

Maybe Priest of Forgotten Gods could come in handy in getting all the mana this deck needs
Also, I'd go with 1 extra Ravenous Rats instead of a Chittering Rats.

So the idea is to use Nahiri, the Harbinger's third ability to play Emrakul, the Aeons Torn from the deck? Isn't that too slow?

When I designed this deck I wasn't yet aware about the Nantuko Cultivator.

So there's now an Historic version of it which is much more interesting and stupid at the same time: https://deckstats.net/decks/38436/2416672-nantuko-hunt-budget-

Would have to be adapted (thus improved) to Modern though (like restoring the Urza lands etc.)

While the lulz are strong in this one, it's pretty mana intensive… are those few sorceries enough?

I would also have Twinblade Geist and Kor Blademaster instead of Puresteel Paladin and Ornithopter: they already have double strike, so you don't have to worry about that.

Instead of worrying about trample, you could just add Spirit Mantle instead, which is even more efficient

This looks quite cool, but I would really add some dual lands, like 4x Woodland Cemetery and 4x Darkbore Pathway.

No ok, I've tried it with Serum Powder and it didn't work. Dual lands would help immensely though, since they would allow you to gain 1 turn!

However I'm working on a quicker and more effective version, aiming at casting Seismic Assault + Curse of Bloodletting using Resurgent Belief: https://deckstats.net/decks/38436/2392176-seismic-treasure-belief

Serum Powder might come in handy here.

I've also tried to add just a couple of lands, to accelerate everything but keep the "mostly manaless" theme as far as possible: https://deckstats.net/decks/38436/2388237-manaless-but-with-just-a-littl

It's just 4x + 4x, not enough to cast anything on its own, but for Affinity cards they basically count double!

Of course it's up to you to decide if this makes that deck uninteresting or not (and that's why I've cloned to a new one, instead of editing this one – this will stay pure!).
