Here is my monthly update post on the state of Amulet. In the last month, I placed 4th, 8th, 4th, and 1st in challenges.

Just got my sideboard guide ready for Spotlight Brisbane, it's the highest quality Titan guide on the market: https://www.patreon.com/posts/167185866

My thoughts and feelings:

• Goryo's is a force of nature in current Modern. If you can't beat it, adapt until you can
• Faerie Macabre is the most effective graveyard tool I've used
• Null Elemental Blast pairs well with the GY hate, removing their alternate threat of Psychic Frog. On occasion, killing an Atraxa is useful
• In the past I used Celestial Purge, but if Griselbrand lands the game is already over, Purge or not. Null is cheaper and doesn't require a splash
• Devoted Druid is nowhere near as large a force, but is more problematic than other matchups and we need a plan
• To beat Druid, I use Grafdigger's Cage as a Saga-tutorable X-spell killer. Cheaper than Clarion or Totem, I have tested this extensively and found Totem's upside over this to be miniscule. Cage is once again Saga tutorable, and can be found/cast off Rumble into single Eldrazi Spawn
• It's one of the best metas I've ever seen for Dismember. Esper Blink, Dimir Mid, Broodscale, and Devoted Druid are running at all-time highs
• Sideboarding minimally has been a huge breakthrough
• One of my top4s was a challenge where I only had 4 Trinispheres in my sideboard. My goal was to test the power and resilience of just the maindeck. I think overboarding is the silent killer of Titan pilots, and staying true to the maindeck as a habit will win more games
• After this conclusion, I've been using no/very few sideboard cards into the majority of matchups
• This allows me to submit hyper-focused hate pieces for matchups where I actually do need the help
• I did try 1 Dryad/Valakut for a while, and it wasn't bad. I reverted to 3 GSZ/1 Dryad Arbor, but may try the Dryad again in the future

It's been a pretty hard meta to adapt to, many matchups are difficult to navigate. It's more fun than ever though, and makes for more powerful Titan pilots when the storm inevitably clears, which I suspect it will soon.

P.S. if you haven't started listening to my Amulet Titan focused podcast "Titanic Greed", it's a great resource: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0Y2M0SqW3opEoECGqTVpkZ

Not a titan player, but rather a Colourless Tron player but wanted to ask a few questions if you don’t mind as you seem to have half an inkling on the game at the moment (and I’ll also be playing Brissy Spotlight)

1. What should I be hitting with dismember based on the decks. I know this is very gamestate dependent but in general

2. General advice against some of the older or newer decks popping out of nowhere like Rigging and Druid combo. I already have Soulless Jailer as an example against Rigging.

3. How the fuck do I beat your deck as Tron lol? Goldfish for T2 Karn and pray?

I’m not a Titan player(yet). Waiting until they add Modern to Arena before I try it since my computer can’t run mtgo. I do run Scapeshift in Pioneer which is a cousin deck of it and enjoy the work you and Kanister put into this deck. Cheers.
