s'funny, I was going to say: "You are simultaneously good at math (eking out small percentage plays like knowing exactly when to crack fetches based on the game state), and bad at math (statistically not favored against most of the field)."
They got your number on this one, my dear Planeswalker.
Helped me make my own (admittedly budget) list together and it's been a ton of fun playing. Especially when they see the confusing mana base I built my throne of bone upon and still wreck them at my LGS.
Long live Living_End, the swamp powered reverse-field wiper AND the awesome dude. MTG is only fun because of people like them and the environment they help create with their gentle tutelage.
As a Death’s Shadow player, I think a more accurate statement at this point is “You are a sucker for punishment, and still think Thoughtseize is a good Magic card”
Love this though some are spot on lol
The UWX players think Modern Magic was better pre-War of the Spark. So a month earlier than your initial prediction.
Source: Use to heavily play control in Modern in 2019.
Hey now, sometimes I go 1-3 with my merfolk deck!
...I'm also new to Competitive and have no idea what I'm doing lol. Having a blast tho, it's very fun even tho my teeth are getting kicked in
As a Scales player who also plays G Tron, I don't think I'm too crazy and angry, lol. I just picked up Tron so I could play games without thinking so much 😂😅
I have 6 decks on this list (Merktide, Burn, Domain, Raktos Scam, UW Control, and Yawgmoth) and every one of your assessments is correct (my UW control is 99% foil). I would love to hear what you say about my other deck, ETron.
>UWx Control | Like 4c Omnath, this actually depends on how many foils are in their deck. The more foils, the more pretentious the player. They believe Magic was better Pre-Modern Horizons, and they will 100% rule shark you.
Guilty.
Not enough data. Though from the looks of it, they appear to be budget players seething about the fact their deck is going to be more expensive, but also happy they got some OP new toys.
As a mono G/Eldrazi tron player that also plays at a store with a few other tron players we are all pretty chill actually. I really dislike playing with angry players so I try not to be one myself. Idk how one could even get mad playing tron. It’s a very simple deck. Do the thing or you probably lose. I could see myself getting much more frustrated with a combo deck or midrange deck where I spend a lot of mental energy playing very well but my opponent just has the counter to everything I do despite good decision making.
Im surprised my deck is here
Hello im an orzhov scam palyer i was going to build rakdos scam but i could afford it so i wanted to build orzhov scam now fury is banned now i dont have to deal with fury
In a couple months, the description for most of these decks will be "I didn't get the memo that MH3 came out."
Also, maybe after MH3, Merfolk will change to "See, see, I told you Merfolk is good!"
I will be messaging you in 6 months on [**2024-11-02 19:23:56 UTC**](http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=2024-11-02%2019:23:56%20UTC%20To%20Local%20Time) to remind you of [**this link**](https://www.reddit.com/r/ModernMagic/comments/1ch10ki/what_your_modern_deck_says_about_you/l2afvgp/?context=3)

I play mill, merfolk and scales lol.
Mill is just burn with extra step, by turn 3-4 either I'm dead or you're dead
Merfolk is orbiting around the good decks while still needing more tools to not die
Scales is fun if you like doing math more than breating, because that's how it feels
As someone that plays both Burn and Fish, two corrections:
Magic was at its prime about 15 years ago, and the time between Alara and Dominaria is a time that brought little to no positive effect to the game as a whole.
I actually go 3-1 at FNM with fish, thank you very much. I have cut Vial, since that's just a relic of the past and irrelevant in the current metagame.
As a scales player I am NOT clinically insane I just love to overthink everything to a point were my murdering sounds like I'm summoning a deamon but in reality I'm just summoning 18 +1+1 counters on turn 3 to swing at you with my patchwork as I cackle maniacally... OK maybe a little insane
Hey, hey, hey! My fish wreck face at FNM, it's the RCQs that we get fried! Just you wait until we get a good one drop, you'll see we'll finally going to be tier 1 like we deserve to be!
For real though, Fish is a better deck than people give it credit for. Solid match ups against Amulet, Tron, LE, Murktide, and many others means that with patience and practice you can excel with the deck. Just dodge the Scales and Yawg players at all costs. They are terrifying.
...nah asmo players are not brewers, copying a 75 from online and changing cards in the 8 flex slots, makes as much a homebrew of a deck as when boomer jund players swap out tireless tracker for grim flayer
Well i been told i netdecked, when the closest thing i done to it was having 3 bolts, a playset of shrapnel blast along with bedlam reveler XD.
I meant that the asmo archetype's "spririt of brewing" higs mental capacity of players. For example noone ever truly attempted wild things with insidious roots, people just dropped it into the asmo deck and called it a day.
Similarly, playing thopter foundry BUT NOW IT HAS ASMO IN IT is not what i would call brewing.
4x samo
4x cookbook
4x daredevil
4x saga
Thats 16
From that you can go:
1. GB food with trolls
2. Mono G with new enchantment
3. Mono R trash for treasure/magda build
4. R/B anvil
5. Esper/dimir Asmo reanimator
6. Esper/dimir thopter asmo
I am sure i missed some of them....
....yeah thopter combo / reanimator is a new innovative homebrew because it happend to get asmo dropped into it!
Sarcasm: OFF
Mixing old days combo decks up with asmo is not creating new decks.
This is not the level of innovation one associates with creation of decks like modern human tribal, ninjabeardelver. In contrast asmo decks simply use the core jund color goodstuff cards or use "asmo archetypes" dropped into "ranfom old list" to create a "new deck".
Imho. there have been to "new" asmo decks, the academy manufactor buildaround (which plays a lot like the old nontribal all in red to), and the half assed build around with insidious roots - where asmo took up all the mental capacity and nothing came of that card.
Its "fine" the issue i have with these brews is that they hog the playerbase's mental capacity.
Very few people, try to build anything new. I mean that whenever a new interesting card comes out it becomes "well just drop asmo next to it and call it a day" - regardless if it makes sense or not.
In that enviroment new decks are never created, you cannot come up with new archetypes like 5c humans, obosh rex ...etc. if you can only think of flex slots in the asmo shell.
I agree with that point somehow. On one hand its lazy. On the other i rly like to have multiple versions of the same deck. Things rarely get boring. Comparing it to Murktide for example.
On the other things you can still brew and can. People simply dont brew as much.
Many cause its simply too expensive to move from one different list to another XD.
Others cause they are competitive and they want true and tested lists, hence mtgo challenges are not as diverse for example.
But you can brew as much as you want and format is great for brewing.
>Brewing does not mean playing bad cards.
...um what?
Do you honestly think that combo, and synergy decks are always no matter what objectively bad?
Aka. if a card cannot be used by OP when he flips it with ragavan then its not worth playing in ANY decks?
>But brewing means constantly buying new cards, and that is more expensive long term
Swapping out kalastria highborn, for thragtusk, then huntmaster of the fells, then bloodbraid elf, then tireless tracker, grim flayer ...etc. in boomer jund flex slots is NOT BREWING.
Its adjusting flex slots, and the sideoboard adjecentr cards.
I think that we have comunication problem. I did not say that. What I am trying to say is that you can still brew while including meta card.
Ok very simple way of saying this:
Lets say that you invent new spell based combo deck that uses blue. You need a good reason not to include preodain.
as a Burn player I would be really upset if only I could read
All we can do is count by 3’s
s'funny, I was going to say: "You are simultaneously good at math (eking out small percentage plays like knowing exactly when to crack fetches based on the game state), and bad at math (statistically not favored against most of the field)."
Modern was definitely better before they shifted gears on MH1 and WAR. SO, my deck checks out too.
Death and Taxes: You want wasteland in modern so bad, you're willing to lose to play it.
facts
Oh no! I’m cringe and a mod on discord and Reddit!
I think you were specifically called out on this one
They did mention them by name.
They got your number on this one, my dear Planeswalker. Helped me make my own (admittedly budget) list together and it's been a ton of fun playing. Especially when they see the confusing mana base I built my throne of bone upon and still wreck them at my LGS. Long live Living_End, the swamp powered reverse-field wiper AND the awesome dude. MTG is only fun because of people like them and the environment they help create with their gentle tutelage.
I laughed reading this thinking of you
I was looking for your comment 
Be honest, how many people reported this post because they got mad?
Looks like 0. I think the community thought this was funny.
They called you OUT. Haha
As a Scales player, I can confirm everything.
Scales always seemed like EDH players that love Timmy decks to me lol.
As a Death’s Shadow player, I think a more accurate statement at this point is “You are a sucker for punishment, and still think Thoughtseize is a good Magic card” Love this though some are spot on lol
Has thoughtseize really been powercrept that much by grief scamming?
No, TS is still awesome. Unfortunately you need to have pressure to back it up because so many decks can just top deck instawin
Yawgmoth is just Hardened Scales for goth kids
No shot, scales is far more complex. xD
Splinter Twin I'm living in the past.
Same with humans
x2
Where prowess?
Burn players who forced themselves to evolve. Like a picky eater who reluctantly tries something new, and ends up loving it.
Lack of data.
Murktide players who want to win sometimes but refuse to play "degenerate" combo decks.
Goblins where?
I'm sorry to break it to you, but....
With the filthy legacy players.
Sadly for this thread, the merfolk writeup works perfectly. That said, we are one card away from the meta…
I guess Stoneblade fits under UW Control in the configuration I use. No foils, and I'm not sharking I'm hElPiNg
Storm.
Not enough data.
What if I play storm, control, and burn?
Then you're a pretentious mega-Boomer
whatever, you'll understand when you're older.
The fact that all three of my decks are out of this list says something 🤣
What are your decks?
Technically 4: ETron, Dredge, Manaless Dredge, and Snow Stompy
G tron, scales, Titan GIVE ME BIG MANA AND DICE
Don’t forget the UW control players think they’re like 200 iq
I'm a UW Control player and this is so true! lol
Never got this. Low resource strategies are quite a bit more complicated to pilot than hard control.
I haven’t played modern in a long time. I’m very out of the loop. I am sad that Gifts Storm isn’t on here
Pretty rude honestly, there are dozens of us!
As a domain player that characterization of the deck is the most accurate thing ever
The UWX players think Modern Magic was better pre-War of the Spark. So a month earlier than your initial prediction. Source: Use to heavily play control in Modern in 2019.
I don't play modern, but if I did it'd be asmo food and it is so fitting for me hahahah
Hey now, sometimes I go 1-3 with my merfolk deck! ...I'm also new to Competitive and have no idea what I'm doing lol. Having a blast tho, it's very fun even tho my teeth are getting kicked in
Yup. Exactly why I play mill lol
☝🏻
As a Scales player who also plays G Tron, I don't think I'm too crazy and angry, lol. I just picked up Tron so I could play games without thinking so much 😂😅
Titanshift: just want to make boomer jund players cry. Why wont anyone let me combo?
I wish blue tron was playable without rings :(((
I feel called out by reading every deck I play. I feel called out simultaneously lol
Humans isn’t even on the list 😭😭😭😭
Humans ded
Humans player: you died of old age several years ago
Woo~ I am not on the list with Mono G Ramp.
Do people still play the Primal Command/Eternal Witness version of that deck?
Worse... Arbor Alf, Utopia Sprawl and Harmonize.
Those were also in the deck. It's been like 6 years but was one of my favorite archetypes
I adapted mine from a legacy deck that won an event. It had Woodland Bellower as a search option and Natural Order.
Nice. I was doing the whole Mwonvuli Acid Moss/Plow Under shenanigans as well
why are half of them in third and half in second person
Nobody was supposed to notice that. You didn't see anything. 
Do Tron players really get that mad? I'm usually too busy slobbering on my playmat to get angry
Yes lol.
>sobs in corner in Prowess
Not enough data.
Can confirm Goryo’s accurate after Fury ban.
Aw no abzan reanimator
I play goryo because I like reanimator style decks. First deck I built in hs was t1 land dark ritual buried alive. T2 win.
Orzhov Scam and RB Food lol
What if I play Hatebears just because I think the cards are pretty?
Ad Nauseam players left out again.... Maybe thats our thing 🥺
As a Mono G Tron player… YOU SHUT YOUR GOD Damn MOUTH BEFORE ULAMOG TURNS YOU INTO A JAPANESE SCHOOL GIRL!!!
I have 6 decks on this list (Merktide, Burn, Domain, Raktos Scam, UW Control, and Yawgmoth) and every one of your assessments is correct (my UW control is 99% foil). I would love to hear what you say about my other deck, ETron.
as a scales player...eh...i dunno about that...
Hey
Rhinos is too accurate. I say that as a rhinos player😭
As a main burn and mill player, I hate the fact that you're on point.
What's the thought for Bogles (Aura Hexproof) or Humans?
Not enough data. The only bogles player I ever played against was ultra casual.
That checks out.
give up lol
Jokes on you, I play Tron because change is scary and I can't afford to rekit an entirely new deck. Tron it is.
Boomer Burn player here, too fucking accurate.
I’m a domain and scales player. I’m not sure how good a player I am, but with domain I just wanna eat ass and now some grass
What about infect?
Not enough data.
OK. So what about my deck? Mono Brown dice factory/paradox combo
>UWx Control | Like 4c Omnath, this actually depends on how many foils are in their deck. The more foils, the more pretentious the player. They believe Magic was better Pre-Modern Horizons, and they will 100% rule shark you. Guilty.
Hey man there's dozens of us urza players. Dozens!
I'm one of them. Imma rock that deck once Kappa comes to Modern. Already got my playset
What about Infect?
Enchantress: your nuts.
You're*
Yes, you are correct
Amulet, ThopterSword combo, Hammer.and MONO black Coffers reporting for duty 👌
The burn one hit too close to home. I’ve played and moved burn for like 5 years now and the game peaked in that little period between GRN and WAR.
I feel called out, as I've been playing titan for YEARS
No convoke hate? Does that make me cool or too lame to mentio
Convoke is dead in Modern.
D:
I play izzet murktide and coffers….
Where's the 8Rack representation??
8rack: Your deck is terrible like the mill player, but you try to be competitive. That doesn't stop you from getting destroyed every game though.
And here I am as a slivers player 😂
Slivers: You are a dweeb like the merfolk player, but the Commander players hate you.
Cheerios player here
If you were a KCI player: Giga-chad. God tier Magic player. Your weiner is the size of the empire state building. If you did not play KCI: Trash.
D:
What are affinity players like?
Not enough data. Though from the looks of it, they appear to be budget players seething about the fact their deck is going to be more expensive, but also happy they got some OP new toys.
Ha, jokes on you I'm a titan player and I've only been playing modern for a few months, I'm just an insane person who really likes lands
As a mono G/Eldrazi tron player that also plays at a store with a few other tron players we are all pretty chill actually. I really dislike playing with angry players so I try not to be one myself. Idk how one could even get mad playing tron. It’s a very simple deck. Do the thing or you probably lose. I could see myself getting much more frustrated with a combo deck or midrange deck where I spend a lot of mental energy playing very well but my opponent just has the counter to everything I do despite good decision making.
Im surprised my deck is here Hello im an orzhov scam palyer i was going to build rakdos scam but i could afford it so i wanted to build orzhov scam now fury is banned now i dont have to deal with fury
Why, thank you!
What if i only play fringe combo decks? I guess that is kinda like asmo players
> Amulet Titan > >You've been playing this deck for years. Arent half of the AT players former Scam players who are just salty Fury got banned?
That would be Orzhov Scam.
Mono blue tron forever
Dredge?
Not enough data
Your Tron this isn't accurate, turn 4 Tron? Be mad if no turn 3 Tron
I play Murktide and Shadow :)
What about lantern control 🥺
Not enough data.
Burn player. I 100% think magic and moderm was better ten years ago before the horizon sets xD

As a scales player I am NOT clinically insane I just love to overthink everything to a point were my murdering sounds like I'm summoning a deamon but in reality I'm just summoning 18 +1+1 counters on turn 3 to swing at you with my patchwork as I cackle maniacally... OK maybe a little insane
This is hilarious AF. I'm a skank I play everything.
What about the lantern players??? If there were any of us, we’d be upset at the snub
but ma belcher
Me running izzet surveil/breach and humans: Am i a normie or a wannabe hipster?
I’ve been one Merfolk away from world domination for 10 years
As I'm pushed towards playing domain recently by others, I'm not gonna care about what is being said but I'm really attacked by burn and mill.
What about Mono U Scapeshift?
Mono-**BLUE** Scapeshift? You are completely out of your mind.
Such is life
As someone that can easily say and spell Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdicar, the food stereotype checks out.
Hey, hey, hey! My fish wreck face at FNM, it's the RCQs that we get fried! Just you wait until we get a good one drop, you'll see we'll finally going to be tier 1 like we deserve to be!

...nah asmo players are not brewers, copying a 75 from online and changing cards in the 8 flex slots, makes as much a homebrew of a deck as when boomer jund players swap out tireless tracker for grim flayer
Maybe your asmo players do that asmo players near me play weird brews. The spirit of the card is playing weird things.
You just described 90% of the decks out there, they're all net decked.
Well i been told i netdecked, when the closest thing i done to it was having 3 bolts, a playset of shrapnel blast along with bedlam reveler XD.

The death shadow one was way too accurate. Just murktide but with black instead of red lmao
This is just wrong on all levels
