R1G1 you have him DOB when he tromps unless has land plus a 1 drop, which is very unlikely given his prior plays… let tromp resolve, wait for attacks, path aethersnipe, block with war marshall, go to 1, eot blightspeaker him to 13, untap attack with everything and bolt his face for 5 with rift bolt and glacial ray

I’m intrigued by the potential to draft Storm in this format, and just now forced storm alongside you, Marshall. I wound up with what I believe to be a pretty sweet deck: 3 Grapeshots, two Desperate Rituals, three Empty the Warrens, the Pyromancer’s Swath after it wheeled, manamorphose, and a TON of Arcane spells to splice stuff onto. Also got two Dampen Thoughts as an alternate win-con.

I hope you draft Storm with MMA at some point before it leaves, I’d love to see your take on the archetype.

Is it just me or was white way more open than black? I would’ve for sure gone WRb :X

Also MMA Drafts don’t have a disgusting pricetag at all Oo whoever said that^^

One thing i noticed is in match 1 game 3. The turn you paid the echo costs of the stingscourger you should have suspended riftbold to save mana the next turn, because you knew the giant duskwasp would come into play on you opponents turn. You would want to kill that thing anyway, because it really halted you assault.
This would have made him attack, but you could have cleared his board the next turn to swing back.

Few things… Marsh Flitter doesn’t get +2/+2 from sacrificing a goblin, it just becomes a 3/3 so you had nothing to worry about on the Redcap play during M3. Second, why no consideration at all for Fury Charm in the same match? You saw piles and piles of artifacts from him, it seems like having a Shatter would be pretty handy and the fact it modal makes it not a dead card most of the time.

I agree with Asmodan, this deck could have easily done 16 lands and added in the Fiery Fall. It’s basically another land drop with an extra benefit of being removal.

I wish that the idea of always having 17 lands would be reconsidered more. I only play 17 when I have more than 2 colors, when the fixing is bad or when my curve is high. Modern Masters has some good fixing in it, so most of the time, you won’t need 17 lands. I’ve won a draft with 15 lands, sometimes you have to consider that aggro decks cannot flood or they are going to lose.
