Simping For Hina Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 I just got called a jerk today when I went to play Modern at a new store since I didn't go on Saturday at my regular LGS. Playing lands in front is apparently a pretentious thing, okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Crouton Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Was the opponent Land-locked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simping For Hina Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Nope. He played his deck into a curve, and it seemed he always had a good amount of threat to present. I just had all of my lands in front and won. Then he called me pretentious because he "couldn't" read my cards during the game. Even when he asked, and I showed him what the cards do. I even got a judge a few times to explain the cards since I thought it was more polite to do so, instead of me explaining it to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Frankly, although I have no logical reason behind it, it bugs the living crap out of me when people play with that settup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 I personally hate people that plays lands in front, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simping For Hina Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 I have actually shelved Affinity, and have been playing UWR Control for the time being. Celestial Colonnade is my only creature while Snapcaster Mage is just another spell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Ok. I like you now. Wait. No Clique? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simping For Hina Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Sideboard. I would only run one main if I did, but I have been playing Dig Through TIme instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Colonnade is the best finisher :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 It is, Clique is just sweet as a utility, as well as for putting on pressure. Running Dig over it makes sense, though.

Running Dig over it makes sense, though. Also: Welcome to the MtG Modern UWR Control Discussion Thread. Clique gets trumped a lot of the time by most removal and could hardly get in 6 points of damage. It is nice against combo decks, but Storm and Ascendancy draw into more or have other ways to get around it. Other decks, it is just a creature. It is probably the best card against Scapeshift, but that isn't that hard of a match up if you keep your creature removal low and your counter spells high. The card is amazing, but i don't think it is worth maining at the moment. Dig is just such a nice +1 and filter for the deck when you're behind, that I am never sad to see it.

Flame Dragon Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 I know it puts a lot of people on tilt when people play like that. As said, their is no logical reason for this, but it does. I know I've tried, but I ended up getting tilted instead. Personally, I see more value in it when your playing control since the land is where the action for those decks.

Simping For Hina Posted October 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 But I would do the same for Affinity and during the Prerelease when the lands do nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half your lands can become creatures, so I can see SOME reason for it. For a lot of people, lands go in back because reaching up to tap them is annoying. At least, I'm pretty sure thats the reason I've heard be given by some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lands in front are just too pro for casuals, then. I'm too meta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoRWBY65 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 I would be okay with that more than the person I know that only turns the cards halfway to tap them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poc Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 My friend who taugt me to play magic use to do this, he said he learned that way because way back in the day, the starter guide showed playing lands in front of your other permanents.

I was going to mention that, the old books had the lands in front.they moved them back sometime around I think 8th edition?and just to be weird, I've played with my lands on the side of my board. in color sets. people took note of my mana more, it was interesting.
