@karsten_frank @MrChecklistcard Building a good game one Deck should Matter.

@jj_redick Even the best Historic Teams would bei crushed in modern NBA. The Speed of the game, individuell skills and the depth of the Bench ist to much to overcome even for the greatest Players of all time.

@Filipemroca random value one off, i love the card, but it's probably not necessary.

[Nikolas Labahn @NikolasLabahn]

Won the modern Showcase!

@dan_beuve I didn't bring in blessing besides mill, but blessing it might be ok vs Controll to reshuffle used Tolaria West.

[Nikolas Labahn @NikolasLabahn]

@dan_beuve I tink Grazer is way better, because Grazer gives you the effect immediately and helps you to have 3 mana on turn two (with bounceland), than your opponent can't kill it to deny the trigger and it's actually a very good blocker! I don't see any reason to play Empath and Giant.

[Nikolas Labahn @NikolasLabahn]

@MaindeckB It's a suggestion from @d0m89 and the main reason is that he decided, that the white lands are really unnecessary. Once you decide you don't want these any more it's the clear choice. Going for Valakut and Battlement with the first trigger is very elegant.

[Nikolas Labahn @NikolasLabahn]

@PPkPanda @fireshoes it's actually quite straightforward, most of the time you just take out your worsed lands for the matchup, have you any specific questions?

[Nikolas Labahn @NikolasLabahn]

@davide20062 Quarter was vs UR Blitz, Semi vs Heliod Company and in the Final i faced Esper Control

Got into Premodern lately and i'm really enjoying the nostalgic feeling and the interactive games.

So Carsten Linden and me decided to record some gameplay and start a small YouTube channel!

Played some magic today :)

@Odin_FK dominik görtzen won like 5 rounds in our team gp top 4

[Nikolas Labahn @NikolasLabahn]

@maro254 Plz pay more respect to the natural boundaries of the game and stop breaking them constantly. You broke hand size with companion, Mana with fire of invention (for me the most frustrating thing on standard) and the list goes on.
