I've never heard of a passive aggressive deck, what does it do?
Also what sort of modern decks do you play?

My passive aggressive deck is 4x guttersnipe, 4x goblin electromancers, then a bunch of bounce cards, draw cards - most of which have flashback as well. It's probably one of the funnest decks I have ^^

Your seocnd question is hard to answer, I have one for at least each colour combo, as well as like 4 or so for blue/red alone (and i think 3 red/black, maybe 4 now)

You would've loved the INN/RTR standard <3 I used to play an Izzet deck for the short time I played standard. It was pretty much what yours was, only with more Nivix Cyclops and ways to make it unblockable!

Most of my cards in that deck are from those sets :) I think I got lucky and pulled a red enchantment that basically does what guttersnipe does, but if i cast a card from the graveyard. :D

I possibly have 12 swamps and 8 other color cards. do you think it work well

I loved that card <3 I got given the event deck from M13 and it mostly revolved around getting a Burning Vengence and then flashbacking all your card advantage such as Think Twice and Desperate Ravings.

It honestly depends on the rest of the deck dude. You've gotta look at the deck as a whole, not just a combination of a few lands and some creatures you found lying around. Look at how two cards can work together if they're played at the same time.

I wonder how many lands should I put in a deck? I always put 18 land cards and other a bunkly big.

It honestly depends on the deck itself. If you have mostly low mana cost spells you could probably afford having about 15/16, if you desperately need to make sure you curve out properly maybe 19/20, and if you have a crap-ton of ramp in it maybe thin it out a little bit to so its around 16.

The way I do it is just take an educated guess and then playtest/refine it.

Anybody else do it a different way?

I mostly play using high mana cost spells and very least likely using artfiact creatures, but 18 will do just fine and running tri-color deck isn't easy as it looks.

When I make a new deck, I'll try to have 19-22 lands (depending on how my mana curve looks), then playtest and adjust from there. If I run a multicoloured deck, then I count the mana-specific symbols (could say devotion i guess) to find the proportions of colours, then recreate that proportion of colour in my lands as well. My lowest land count is my mono-green mana ramp deck, which I left at 18 I think. When I run tri-colours, I think I do 21/22 lands, just because balancing 3 colours is more difficult and less consistent.

Maybe I just put forest and green ecnhament that makes any land to any color it possibly help me on tri-colored deck

What three colours are you aiming for? Do you have specific cards in your deck that actually require all 3 colours at once?

If you don't have use/have cards that require all 3 types of mana, then cut one of the colours off and stick with 2 - it isn't worth going for 3 different mana types if all your cards require 2 types or less. I tried making a G/B/U tri-colour deck before owning any cards that had all 3 of those colours, and the deck was just too inconsistent and unreliable.

Now, you can go ahead and try it, but if you're having too much trouble - ditch one colour and replace them with valuable cards for whatever strategy you're running. ^^

Blue, Black and White.
I might try to add a land that needs just 1 basic land that produce 2 colors like say I just add swamp, then the land needs swamp to be tapped and have Blue/White

Maybe this site could help you out Yveltal.

It's mainly made for commander, but all you need to do is click on the colours you want. Click on any card that shows up and it'll give you every single mana producing card that can make your colours.

For example this Chromium guy has White Blue and Black in him so his page will show every single land that can produce one or more of those colours.

Some tri color cards I choose is good, but some have bit of risky upkeep

I don't know how many of you guys have been keeping up with Modern Masters 2015 but there have been a lot of complaints such as this one.
What do you guys think of the whole situation? Do you think WotC could've lowered the MSRP, do you think they were wrong to have tried out the new packaging on such an expensive set?

Aside from very expensive price for a booster pack; the Modern Master isn't your typical boosters as the video told the viewers finding the rares or mythic is like playing a slot machine in the casino and even the price for the booster is 10 bucks; damaged cards that aren't pack fresh it's more like drafting instead of constructing a great modern deck and the cards inside price tag are vary like finding $3 or more for uncommon and the possibility finding a rare/mythic in a single box, not in a single booster. Why Wizard! Why you become such a greedy company..

I'm not particularly happy about it - I wish they would have chosen one way or the other (make it expensive, but keep it at 36 packs or same price but only 24 packs, NOT BOTH). Unfortuantely, I really doubt I'd buy it unless my friend wants to split a box with me, so we'll both end up paying ~$125 each and getting 12 packs...

...wow that still sucks. I don't know what I'll do. t-t Some of those cards look awesome, mind you none of them were cards I would have wanted before having seen them being re-released.

Also, as far as I can tell, it's Hasbro making the call on pricing - so it might be them being the greedy ones, and not WotC.
Also, why changing packaging, I liked how they were before, also less damaged too >.>

OMG YES MTG CLUB

Username: Bidoof FTW
Favourite Colour: Black (B)
Favourite Deck: My favorite is my first: W/B Extort :) It isn't playable in standard anymore but I played it after Dragon's Maze came out and I loved it.
Mode of Play: Online. I have Dotp 13 for Steam and 360, 14 and 15 for 360.

When did you first start playing?
I first started playing when Dragon's Maze came out, my dad was working at a card shop doing some eBay listing or something like that, and I thought the prerelease looked so cool (it was ;)) and my dad decided to sit me down and teach me, I've loved it since.

What was your first plane?
Ravnica. It's definitely one of my favorites, the guilds are just so unique and they're so interesting. Someday I should read the lore books about ravnica and the guilds :) Also I guess Innistrad also counts for my first, I didn't get to play too much with the cards but I love the theme of it.

Also are you going to talk about the new Magic DotP coming out? There is a discussion with information here and I'm so so so so SO excited ^^

Cardboard looks pretty. As they said, to what end is it worth buying? I mean, I could go to the local card shop or look on craigslist and buy boxes of 1000 for $10 or $15. Sure they might not all be great, but the chances of getting something worth the money out of those 1000 cards is much greater than that of pulling anything decent out of MM. It's much better to just buy singles since you're sure to get what you want and you won't have to spend an arm and a leg.

I went to go visit my friend last week, we bought a couple of MM packs each and left it at that.

I pulled a foil Mox Opal. <3
