One of the archetypes Simian Spirit Guide used to speed up its degenerate combo was built around Tibalt`s Trickery, released last month as part of the Kaldheim expansion. In their simplest form, these decks would use cards like Violent Outburst to cascade into their deck`s only legal stunt target, Tibalt`s Trickery, which would then thwart the explosion of violence and allow the player to throw the only other non-landing, nonviolent explosion card into their deck for free – Emrakul, the Torn Eons. But if we had [[Elfih Spirit Guide]] in the Modern Spiritual Guide instead of Simian, what other beautiful injustices could we brew with 1 free G instead of 1 free R? “The spirits of the whispering forests are mysterious and changeable. Follow one, and you`re just as likely to find yourself in the middle of the forest as you`re on your doorstep. “Simian Spirit Guide is a staple in a variety of modern decks such as Ad Nauseam, Grishoalbrand, some versions of Skred Red and RW Lockdown.” We are never without advice if we are only looking for it. ” – Taaveti from Kelsinko, elf hunter This deck, as shown now, seems to me more “turbo” than “control” with this Ad Nauseam, Simian Spirit Guide, Grim Monolith, etc. If you want to lean on the turbostorm line, consider Baral, Chief Compliance Officer, Archmage Emeritus, and Yawgmoth`s will for Ricochet Trap – it`s cheaper mana, but Reverberate is so good here because it can actually act as another mana spell that`s huge. In fact, if you copy Bubbling Song, it`s actually the best mana spell of this deck. It`s a bit too good to miss, even if it`s a bit more expensive! [ECtHR] Krenko, Mafia Leader [[PRIMER]] of TheOneKiko1337 Therefore, “the purpose of this update is to make the metagame a more entertaining place, we are concerned that a continued presence of Tibalt`s Trickery decks in the metagame will thwart this goal”, which requires its removal from the format. There`s a good chance it will replace a number of Mox Opal in Ancient Stirrings-compatible lantern decks. I disagree. Maybe as a budget choice, but only replace the opals directly? I`m not sure.
“Simian Spirit Guide is a map we`ve been keeping an eye on for some time to speed up fast combo decks,” Wizards said. “As the modern card pool has grown, so has the ability of decks to assemble winning combinations from the hand. To slow down this category of combo decks as a whole and give opponents more time to set up interactive games at the beginning of the game, Simian Spirit Guide has been banned. Being able to catch it with the summoning pact would be cute in various primitive Titan decks. Gott-Eternal-Magic-Player aw good to hear! Yes, unfortunately not hyper-competitive, but who knows? If we still had Simian Spirit Guide, it would work great: green mana would work better than red mana for decks that want to turn off an early ramp. Amulet lists could use it a little easier than SSG (although they probably wouldn`t make the already narrow lists), as they have the added bonus of turning the summoner pact into mana if they already have primitive titans in their hands. Uro was also banned in Pioneer and Historic today after being banned in Standard last year. “As in [these formats], Uro, Titan of Nature`s Wrath has become a dominant element over many high-profile modern decks, operating at a level of performance that makes it difficult to compete with other mid-range and control strategies,” Wizards said. “In order to create space in the metagame for a wider variety of mid-range strategies and slower decks, we`ve decided to ban Uro in Modern as well.” I don`t think infecting them would be effective.
However, I think ESG would be like the will with the deck – where you have to use one of your many protection spells. There are ways to achieve a storm or mage victory with Archmage Emeritus, Storm-Kiln Artist, and Underworld Breach, but that would mean increasing the curve and executing cards that are themselves a superior bad deck. That would be great for Amulet and maybe Belcher would make a decent deck. The other two banned maps in Modern were Simian Spirit Guide and Tibalt`s Trickery, both of which allowed for some of Modern`s most broken combos. Wouldn`t this open up new lines in g/x tron? The ability to throw back-to-back stirrings or not have to tap into your only green source while searching for worldbreakers (or simply using it to launch them). I even test it with two Explore of the site, because a turn a tron terrain pitch for g, Play Explore put second tron land seems broken. I can definitely see Simian Spirit Guide here. The fact that it`s actually free means it can smooth out the hiccups of the bridge and sometimes help it turn sooner. The same goes for Lotus Petal. I`ll think about adding them! The sun and moon are injured because the SSG is used for early calyces and nahiri.
I think the bridge would die with weariness. Ad Nauseam should ban 2 ESGs to make a pentad prism and then play thunderstorms. Probably the bridge hits in some form or way I can`t think of, but I think that would be nice. Elves could execute them just so they could combine faster. Maurizio Kroxa edh – Bojouga comedian Grizshoalbrand, who hates the world, would be hurt because SSG feeds the looting spells that are red. “While there has been a lot of discussion about the new Tibalt`s Trickery decks in different formats, we see Modern as the format where these decks are particularly problematic due to the card`s interaction with waterfall mechanics,” Wizards said. They acknowledge that “the deck`s overall win rate has not proven problematic,” but that they “believe it contributes to non-games that are less fun for Modern.” In addition, Wizards decided to ban two of Uros` main accomplices in Modern, Field of the Dead and Mystic Sanctuary, which were “frequently used by ramp and control strategies that we believe reduce the variety of game models,” they said. “Both countries generate repetitive, non-interactive game states at the end of the game for relatively low deck building costs.
To encourage more play and interaction between winning conditions, we decided to remove them. One of the reasons why SSG is played in these decks is not only that there is free mana, but also red mana, which is crucial for Ad Nauseam, which SSG uses to launch thunderstorms for 1RR. kookoo – so I tried adding Lotus Petal instead of four countries, and it works great! can give the deck the fuel it needs to take off early in the game, while also getting Birgi`s extra mana as it`s a spell – making it a bit better than Simian Spirit Guide here. Thanks again for the recommendations! I want my Belcher to do it so well, but people still want to ban SSG There was recently an article about Wr Hatebears with SSG Dunno, if that`s good enough. The 4 Elfish Spirit Guide 4 Summoner`s Pact 1 Wild Cantor Pack is incredibly flexible and could be placed in any deck that wants its mana fast with a high level of consistency. We could just ban 3 ESGs to launch one and win with bear shots, no problem. Cascading bridges restore balance and the living end is easily injured, making demonic fear more difficult. ESG also cannot be used to induce bar chewers. uh, you could launch Turn 1 Thalia or Arbiter with SSG as easily as with ESG.
I love your supporting creatures, but I feel like you should bring a Snapcaster mage. This and the mission briefing will help repeat the counterspells and distance in the enemy train, since Kess, dissident mage cannot do it. As for the others, I think they`re just a little too slow and/or inconsistent. For example, I love The Wheel of Misfortune. This is one of my favorites. But if you get outbid, it can easily ruin your game, and it`s a big built-in risk that you can add to a deck like this. Baral, Chief Compliance Officer + Lotus Petal + Brain Freeze + Underworld Violation = Charge until your own deck is gone and you usually have enough copies of brain gel to machine all the enemies. Bant eldrazi becomes much stronger, allowing for more consistent t1 hierarchs. T2 breakers would be quite common and T2 thought knots would be very common. Can be played in Infect.
Surprise protection spells are cured. On land, however, it`s already pretty easy. I do not know if there would be room for that. +1 It`s a real Cedh Deck! Check out my “cruel control” version of Kess cedh Pox Diamond to see what I think about the difference between “turbo/storm” and “control”. Also, I have a pretty complete board there, which may have spice that edhrec won`t show you. I also recommend Ricochet Trap because while it can`t copy a spell like Reverberate, it can counter a spell for less mana.
