Reading this dope book The Gen Zers need to get up on their anti-work discourse. The school/work track is a trap for the majority of us. The rhetoric of the “working class” is tired. It’s now used as a sad comfort. It no longer illustrates a path for getting free.

I really don’t think there should be 2 Sol lands in Modern I’m ok with more dedicated decks like Tron playing K command. Temple as an enabler makes it too easy especially when paired with cards like Mycospawn

The metric i’m using for bans isn’t simply about power-level it is importantly also about gameplay and fun. I would propose the following changes: Bans: Eldrazi Temple Urza's Saga Kappa Cannoneer Ral or Ruby Psychic Frog Orim's Chant Unbans: Fury 4/4

Unless we’re willing to introduce Force of Will into Modern, we need to take a sober look at powering down the format. I think there should be a wave of bans/unbans similar to what we seen in Standard. 3/4

The cards are too powerful, which leads to too many non-games. The problem is deeper than whatever the new best deck is. The format should be more interactive and the games should last longer (in essence, more of the games should actually be played). 2/4

There's a bnr window later this month and I want to make a case for major changes to the Modern format. More than ever I'm seeing people disengage with Magic and I think this is in no small part due to how unfun current Modern (the premier comp format) is. 1/4

“Against such evasions, the present article argues that a strategic approach to the problem must discard the tired framing of "AI vs. the human” and instead situate the machine within the same relations of extraction, surveillance, and war that constitute everything else.”

2-2 drop in the Vintage Qualifier w Mono White 4-2 in the challenge w/ UB Frog Lurrus Playing Vintage has been awesome, i’m glad it’s finally clicked for me. Jewel Shops reads to me as the best deck but idk how to pilot/sb with it yet.

5-0 with UB Lurrus w/time vault combo Would probably change some cards, not sure some of the value stuff like gifts/yawg’s will are necessary. Nihil spellbomb seems superior to Soul Guide Vintage has been so much fun. My love for magic is rekindled, Modern is dead to me.

5-0 with UB Lurrus! Been playing a ton of Vintage recently and it’s been a blast I decided i’m not going to LA and have felt at peace w putting Modern down This deck has taught me that Vintage is actually a p slow format. FoW is so important as the cards get more powerful

Looking at the data from Balt and ppl’s Ponza lists for the Eldrazi Match-Ups… I believe I have the best plan. The Eldrazi decks are the main concern for playing Ponza imo, my plan doesn’t solve the MU but it definitely improves it, making it winnable Check my guide 4 details

I landed on Jeskai Energy for Baltimore. I think it’s a solid choice based on how the meta is moving. I think the blue cards are really strong and help address some of the problems energy has had post-phlage. See you tomorrow gamers! 🫡

Americans are so indoctrinated and finding ways to undo that and implement actual alternatives into our lives is crucial Memes have cultural power but they’re ultimately meaningless if they’re isolated to stupid jokes and the internet

Americans are sadly so dumb and naive. We live in a society run by the extremely wealthy while we have nothing. For the first time in my adult life I can’t get food stamps. If this shit were happening in Europe people would be rioting

Kirk’s death becoming this giant meme of him being clowned on is genuinely hilarious and peak. However it would be cool to transform some of that energy into constructive revolutionary critiques and alternatives

Updated my Ponza Guide Post-Dallas I’ve included my reflections on playing Ponza in Dallas and an updated list that I recommend for the upcoming RCs. I believe I offer both a comprehensive guide and a unique approach to the deck and certain match-ups. Check it out!

comrade1312mtg.bsky.social @comrade1312mtg.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
I feel correct about solving the Goryos MU and without Totem I felt like Trudge was un-winnable before so I did improve there. The RCs are open decklist so I might try to Cosmogoyf. We’ll see 🤷🏾‍♂️

comrade1312mtg.bsky.social @comrade1312mtg.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
Overall my matches were close but this deck is often trying to win on thin margins. Classic control problem of not being able to tune for the whole field and it costing me in some match-ups

I like Ponza as a choice because it’s consistent and effective at slowing down games in a volatile, fast format ✨ 2/2

5-0 with Ponza! Locking it in for Dallas, this is the first time I’ve felt confident in Modern in a while. Can you guess what the Totems are for? (Not Druid!) As of right now this is my frontrunner for the Baltimore too and I’ll try to put out a guide after the weekend 1/2

I played Ponza in both of the Showcases this weekend and had a blast! 3-4 drop in Modern and 5-3 in Pioneer. Deck’s much better in Pioneer, format inexperience cost me and the list is still a work in progress. I like my Modern list, but I need a better plan for kcommand decks

comrade1312mtg.bsky.social @comrade1312mtg.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
Mh3 was the biggest mistake to happen to the game, creating a lot of deep dmg to the game and resolving the formats problems will be no easy feat. I will be choosing to quit. I gave it a 2nd chance after the Phlage ban, which did improve the format but the problems prove to be too deep.

comrade1312mtg.bsky.social @comrade1312mtg.bsky.social · 26/08/2026
The power level is too high and the games are incredibly compressed and random. Interactive decks have some play in the meta but the % of games that are decided as early as t2 or 3 is far too high. I don’t feel like i’m playing a strategic game any longer.

Alright time to vent. I’ve decided that after this season I will no longer compete during Modern seasons. I look to pick up another tcg or move on w my life. This description of Neoform from the most recent bnr could be a description of the Modern format as a whole

Top 8 of the Legacy Showcase with AlurenTell! I’m glad to have made it back for the showcase this season, I was a little lost in the format for a while after the oops ban 🏄🏾‍♂️

I will say that a cool thing about UB is that it has motivated me to familiarize myself with the IP of an upcoming set. I’ve never read the Hobbit so now here I am. I had also never seen Avatar or much Tmnt content. Exploring these things has honestly been pretty fun.

Cavern of Souls has utility in MUs with counterspells or chalice of the void. The basic is for Ponza But yes you can also bring those in over the Gemstone Caverns otp

Won an rcq with Cosmogoyf Fling This deck is by far my favorite thing to do in Modern and it has way more complexity and play to it than most ppl give it credit for Magic is such a beautiful game cause deranged decks like this can exist :) See ya and LA and Balt! ✨

Still figuring out how to best build this deck Unfortunately I won’t be able to play the Showcase on Sunday but I would be locking in this archetype, it’s quickly become my favorite thing to do in the format. It’s so fun

4-3 in today’s challenge w Cosmogoyf I have 2 builds of this deck and this is my other one. I’m worried about the uptick in UB mid decks which are a rly bad MU, i don’t think this is the answer tho C.Annex is nice to have cleaner swaps against decks where pact is bad
