Fml I just tried to get rid of my Kiora planeswalker and figured out that since the time I got her she went from $20 to $3

So I turned my Simic deck into Modern... to my surprise, it went from throwing down exponentially larger creatures, into moving +1/+1 counters all over the place and generating more of them through Hardened Scales and Corpsejack Menace. The amount of counters that the deck just pulls out of its *** is a little silly. So essentially... the win condition is Bioshift. No kappa.

Progenitor Mimic + Master Biomancer combo remains because that exponential combo has won me a lot of games in standard. Not sold on the Hydra, despite it being the world's best target for Simic Guildmage, and will probably drop Zegana because odds are she'll mill me half my deck if I actually play her.

Yay magic players. I play almost exclusively modern.

My favorite deck right now. I spent quite a lot of time theorycrafting this one. It's an infinite mana deck that uses several combos to get it. The trick is to get all the right fetchs to reliably get the cards you want...ending in a 4-color deck with the greediest manabase ever. I'm pretty happy with the result, right now if it doesn't get heavily shut down the deck reliably wins turn 3 or turn 4.

I'm pretty disappointed by the new Innistrad edition though. Hardly anything playable. My last hope is that Thing in the ice is legit...and even then I'm not sold.

Yeah, I pulled a TITI at the prerelease and am desperately trying to offload it before it drops below $20 :D

As if you don't love the new Sorin though. Well... maybe he sucks in Modern.

Anything that costs more than 3 mana sucks in modern XD
Nice format OSFrog.

I barely played Commander, but when I did, nothing was as abhorrent as Animar, Soul of Elements. So many combos to either get infinite counters on Animar itself or going infinite of pretty much anything in the deck. I crafted this list: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/animar-combodeck/ though I barely got to play it. The few times I did, however, I almost felt like I was playing alone ;P

Magic... I used to be really into that, then exams happened and I'm only just now getting back into it. I had the most disgusting Simic deck that regularly trounced mono-blue devotion back in Theros, glad to see I'm not the only one that enjoyed evolve (though I doubt your deck will pull off creatures that enter with over 400 +1/+1 counters). When I came back, though, my entire Sultai control deck had rotated since Zendikar had come and gone, and now I'm putting together an Esper control deck in the same vein, because I want to have fun, and don't really care if you do too :)
http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/void-dancer-esper-control/ is what I'm running with. I'm going to turn my Simic deck full modern, which probably means adding disgusting Graft ********, as if I needed it with a Corpsejack Menace.

Nah m8 I don't get one creature with 500 +1/+1 counters I get my entire board from the infinite mana combo u get from devoted druid and leech bonder/paradise mantle combo on the linked deck. Throw in the hydra just have and u can have a billion/billion if u want to from the infinite mana combo. Another cool combo is make one of ur hydras like a 5/5 then prime speaker ZegAna and draw 5 cardstack and have a 5/5 and a 6/6 on the board then use vorel of the hull clades tap ability and double the counters on one of them

Ah, infinite combos. Love the things, though I admit I can't really see how that one works without killing your creatures.

Have you seen Experiment Kraj + Gyre Sage + Gilder Bairn? Simply get a +1/+1 counter on the Gilder Bairn (Kraj can do it himself), and you've got infinite mana, which you then use to pump up, say, Elusive Krasis, and then swing for 800 trillion with a single creature. ****ing gross.
*this works in Commander too, and is scarily reliable if you're running Momir Vig as your commander.

You've motivated me; I'll rework my deck into modern, and we'll see whose evolutionary practices are superior!

Well the way the combo works is u play a devoted druid then leech bonder and equip it with a paradise mantle then use the Paradise mantle tap ability and then untap leech bonder and move the negative counters off of devoted druid and repeat this till you have enough mana to play a gyre sage or fathom mage and repeat the combo also till I get a give/take card and play give on the fathom mage and draw some cards then tap leech bonder with paradise mantle then untap leech bonder and move the counters to any other creature and repeat the combo on fathom till you are able to get enough cards drawn to get a hydra or get ur master biomancer out then if they are able to deal with your board then u rinse and repeat the combo

Ah, Magic... My biggest hobby before my job got in the way. Now I don't have time to play or people following the Legacy format in my area, but I have Dota... Which one sucks more time out of one's life remains to be seen.

I like to play Magic with a competitive mindset and test against good and optimized decks, but at the same time the game isn't funny if I don't brew eldritch abominations only I can make work. But no matter how fun they are, there's always a point where I get mercilessly crushed by the top tiers, yet I refuse to simply copy one of them. So I'm competitive only to a certain extent.

I love interactions and synergies between cards, especially creatures, due to how easy is to get them onto the battlefield. That's why I'm in love with Survival of the Fittest and I hated when it got banned from Legacy. Other cards I've had lots of fun with are Aluren, Food Chain and Astral Slide. I also liked it when I saw Dota has as a nod to Magic.

The second list you posted is the most similar one to what my friend played in Standard when Zendikar came out. Are you following any specific format, or is it just casual play with friends? If it's the latter I could help you make the list cheaper.

I just play casual with friends at school in the band room/math teacher cause both of those teachers play magic pretty heavily and the question will never be answered which has sucked more money/time out of my life dota 2 or magic
