Those are terrible answers <| sep |> That sarcasm went well over his little head . <| sep |> I would agree the BTL version isn ' t better than Titanshift at the moment . Modern is really demanding proactive strategies at the moment and BTL just doesn ' t do that . I will say however that BTL is in my opinion the most rewarding deck in Modern to play in terms of being something you can customize to your meta and make your own . For example , I run BTLw and three mainboard Timely Reinforcements for the aggressive meta where I want to see one a game . You have the liberty of really brewing with the toolbox aspect of the deck and do what you like with it . I will also say that BTL is the most skill intensive deck I ' ve ever played I constantly look back on games and realize I should have tutored for a Sakura Tribe Elder rather than an Anger of the Gods or that I should have played a different colored land first not to say that I ' m a master of the deck by any means , just that it is a lot of thinking and planning which I enjoy . The deck will test you and will make you understand the game at a deeper level than Titanshift in my opinon because BTL is less linear in terms of what you can do each turn . That being said , play Titanshift if you are wanting to be competitive at the moment . The deck is great and you can switch into BTL when the time is right . Good luck man if you ever want to watch BTL in action check out my YouTube channel , Magic Addict . Have a good day !
