I must not have subscribed either, lol.
I have a list for you, but I would wait to consider anything until you get more Gruul goodness. Do you want that list?

Gruul Signet, Sol Ring, and that obvious stuff.
Give me a day or so, and I'll have a solid list of cards. Have you considered waiting until Gatecrash hits to assemble this? - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.
At the GPT I went with esper, but should have played scapeshift or tron. Still had a blast and placed fairly for the deck. Maybe if I knew the meta better, my sideboard would have been a bit different and i could have won some of those swing games. I did get a few random packs as a door prize, and pulled an Ugin, which is something I've yet to crack until then.
At first I was pissed about the rule change, but I think that was mainly the shock of more changes to our beloved format. I don't care now, though. We voted it in in our meta, as well as the institution of the ban list when anyone else except Jai, Sugar or myself are all playing together, so I will likely just adhere all around to not have switches between games on Tuesday nights. I'm pretty sad about that... but I guess it's time for us to get with the times:(
Speaking of switching it up, I have been playing a ***** ton of X-Wing lately. Star Trek Attack Wing has kind of fell obscurity, and no one has played Tactics II in a couple months. The X-Wing game is pretty much the same as Attack Wing, but the flavor is obviously Star Wars instead of my beloved Star Trek. It has a few key differences... but yea. Pretty much the same game.
I am also preparing for the LVGP trial locally. I took scapeshift on Friday, and went undefeated thus winning me a buy in to the trial. The biggest problem scapeshift had on Friday was against heavy red decks. Even after I pretty much sided all my counters, I still barely could pull off wins, and wouldn't have against better players or builds. Also, tron routinely smashes my face when playing scapeshift, as well as enchantment stomp, but luckily I didn't see either decks on Friday. I really want to play esper control during the trial. Anyone think there is room in modern for esper control? I am looking at these cards in particular:
3x Thoughtseize
3x Glimpse the Unthinkable
3x Extirpate
3x Thought Scour
4x Serum Visions
2x Spell Pierce
4x Silence
3x Remand
2x Surgical Extraction
2x Mana Leak
2x Cryptic Command
2x Mind Funeral
4x Hallowed Fountain
2x Nephalia Drownyard
3x Drowned Catacombs
3x Glacial Fortress
3x Godless Shrine
4x Watery Grave
2x Creeping Tarpit
1x Isolated Chapel
3x Path to Exile
2x Surgical Extraction
2x Pithing Needle
2x Nevermore
2x Supreme Verdict
3x Wrath of God
1x Extirpate
I'm for sure going to switch around the extirpates and surgical extraction numbers in the md. I want more counter in the side board, but have not the faintest clue as to what should go in and out. Provided I am sober and of sound mind, I seriously think I can win a trial with a build like this. Since I'm certainly out of the loop as far as modern meta goes, I'm hoping to get some advice. Is this build or one like it just a fool's dream? If not, what can I do to improve? Should I replace the thoughtseizes with despise? No life loss would certainly help. I'd hate to do that and be royally ****ed later though. Mana is not an issue in this build, but if I change stuff around too much I wwill have to rework the symbol taps. Any suggestions?
Add- I kind of feel like there is room for cyclonic rift. Maybe even the md?
Everywhere and no where at once.
@pf, sup buddy!!!!!!!!! Long time no see! I mean, I see you on Live all the time, but we never game together. We should change that! How have you been?
@Nate, I totally forgot to post that list. Send me a message via facebook later to remind me and I'll post it right away:)
@Nate, I do have a list /somewhere/ on sally. If I can later, I will pull out the deck and copy.
I've been playing these cats between my classes, and they think I'm the greatest magic player ever.
I play with balance in grand arbiter taxes.
