Here's my list of UR Twin Moon that I currently run :


I prefer 4 Pestermites over 4 Exarchs in this list because of the more aggressive stance of running Moon main. The rest is the norm.

As for Ascendancy, I personally like running Remands over Leaks because my back-up plan has a good aggressive stance with Delvers/Pyromancer/Geist-Monastery Mentor, so I find that Remands work well in that regard.

The meta over here in Japan for Modern is interesting to say the least. A lot of them right now are running Esper Midrange because of Lingering Souls and Monastery Mentor along with the good spells that come with the Esper combination (e.g. Path, Thoughtseize/Inquisition among others). Might have to see a few lists and see what they run.

I know there is, lol. I was the one who made it.

Ahh, so you got on that Splinter Moon deck, nice, lol. Yeah, I've been loving it online, and have been meaning to build it RL.



I have to disagree with that. I do think it's a powerful deck, but I don't like it against Abzan, of which there is a lot of. Any deck with lots of hand disruption is very annoying for me to deal with.

Also, to address your 3 points:
1) I agree that the meta is not necessarily suited for this particular Gifts package, though it can be easily changed to accommodate the right cards. Besides, I can always just have various pother sideboard cards to find with Gifts. I don't particularly like Baneslayer specifically, but a big life-gaining creature does sound like a good one.
I, personally, am probably gonna use the Token transformative package now, I think. The one where I board in a pile of Monastery Mentors and Young Pyromancers. It's such a big juke that still works decently well with the deck, and lets me take out my combo, that I think it's a really good idea. Also, it simplifies sideboarding lol. All I have to now think about is "Transform, or no..."

2) I'll be honest: I HATE the card Mana Leak. I hate that it falls off so fast, I hate that it doesn't really get much extra value.
Meanwhile, I LOVE the card Remand. I play 4 in most lists I play, and even in this deck, it's there because it's a very good tempo play. Halt their spell for a while, and dig deeper. It's possible for the card to help combo off, too, since you remand a spell you cast and get to cast it again. I'm never gonna come off of Remand, lolol.

3)I think Anticipate is the better card in general, but I like Telling Time a bit more in this deck, but I still am testing it. There's a lot of times I wish I had Telling Time since I actually see many more spells than lands. However, Anticipate is best in the below-average case scenarios where you see too many lands, so you get to push them to the bottom. For now, I'm going with Anticipate.


I may go to another GP one of these days. I've been busy with school, but the next time I can catch a break, I'll likely go to one. I went to GP San Jose, and it was an absolutely awesome experience.

There is a thread in the Figures, Mechas, and Toys section you know right? Blink you should know by now. :\ No-one has bumped that thread in a while.

Anywho, slowly building Jeskai Delver for Legacy, but still have Dredge as a back up deck. For modern, been playing Twin with Main Board Blood Moon, because I like the list that Blink put up earlier, in said thread.

I play casual MTG. I got a life gain deck that will probably never win me games for standard, I got a mono white tiny winnies modern deck (hasn't won a game yet), a mono green infect modern deck (50/50 to Tron, but loses to everything else), and a Omnath of big stompy stuff commander deck (currenly loses to everything due to people just ganging up on it). Currently trying to build a mono red Ashling the Pilgrim deck for Tiny Leaders and a mono red Rakka Mar deck for Commander (both of which will also fail horribly).

I may play a lot of magic, but I am no where near a professional level, so GPs are out of my league.

Then plan make everyone think misa has gone insane has worked (-w-)b

Actually it isn't hot where I'm at, it was a cloudy day and with the rain that passed by it cooled off the area for the weekend.

No wrath I just felt like going rawr xD

RAWRRRRRRRR!!!!!!

I'm in.
So in.

Shall talk more after work.

For now, I shall post my current Modern deck: Jeskai Ascendancy Combo.
It's still in improving stages. Ever since Dig Through Time and Treasure Cruise got banned, I've yet to determine how best to fix it up. ESPECIALLY since Abzan is top-tier, this deck is nearly unplayable against them.



I'm considering trying out Wind Zendikon as the alternate combo creature instead of Conclave. It's much more fragile, but lets you use more kinds of mana while you combo, instead of just being locked into blue.

Sideboard is incomplete, but for now, I'm trying a Gifts Ungiven package. It lets you grind out slower matches better, or sometimes offer free wins against specific decks. It's also why I randomly have Island and Snow-Covered Island as opposed to 2 Islands. If I really need to, it lets me get both of those.



sakabato actually had an interesting SB plan of transforming into a Geist of Saint Traft and Young Pyromancer control deck, which I thought could be quite reasonable, too. All the cards that work with Ascendancy also work with Pyro, and Geist is simply a very fast clock.
And now, with Monastery Mentor out, that transformative plan might be even better, for the same reason as Pyromancer. It's probably better than Geist in that respect. It's something I'm gonna try eventually; on paper, it's a sweet idea. They might board out a chunk of removal and now you got all sorts of creatures lined up for them.

Hm. Used to. Was even part of the forum over at Anycraze for awhiles.

Stopped playing around the Kamigawa era, though- my circle of friends was shrinking due to the various life factors of life.

No I haven't, is it the Zusak Novel? (I tried googling it but got different results)

If you give a brief teaser synopsis for it, I will post it as the April Book of the month for the nooK!
