The interview was cut short and the sideboard portion was unfortunately skipped due to the fact that round 2 pairings for the day were posted, and I had to run to make my table. We also had planned out a conversation regarding Thoughtseize's value in Modern.

Burning Tree Shaman was indeed for Twin, though it is quite good against big Zoo as well, as it trades well with many of their creatures and slows down their Knights.

Its ok, you don't have to show the sideboard.

Tried this build on Cockatrice, it's so good *_*

[DocLocc]

I like the Modern Jund, but I don't know if the Kird Apes are that good. I'd rather play Putrid Leeches

[thomasedixon]

@rushfan992 If you play Legacy or Vintage you probably already have play sets of both. They are staples, and that expensive, for a reason.

[rushfan992]

if you want to play something that isn't combo or cloudpost you need 4 $100 cards and 4 $70 cards

@ThePortableOps well do u think i dont know how myuch that cost? and im the idiot, go to the dictionary, search for sarcasm and then go back to your dungeon. at least im a smart troll.

@Lvl10CPU ah good eye i see that now

[Lvl10CPU]

@thundasc That's not odd's//end's, that's Rise//Fall (Used for the fall portion of course). Also, he has 4x Burning-Tree Shamans, presumably for stopping twin.

Overall then, that would be 3x Rise//Fall, 3x Sudden Death, 2x Ancient Grudge, 3x Seal of Primordium, and 4x Burning-Tree Shaman

[thundasc]

@VandalX187 3 odds/ends, 4 sudden death, 2 ancient grudge, 3 seal of primordium and 3 of something not shown on camera probably graveyard hate of some sort
