$5000 Modern Open | Mono-White Hammer vs Izzet Murktide | Quarterfinals 

Nah, he was just respecting everyone's time. Thought it was locked, got blown out.

They better be, all the handling of his opponent's deck and graveyard/exile, does not seem like he can talk so fast that he asks for permission each time.

I play Hammer time with a playset of Solitude (2 Mainboard 2 Sideboard) and I find them pretty strong and usefull. The free Removal helped me alot in some games and that it cost 2 cards is critical but most of the time I could spare a card for the removal. I never regraded that i pitched a card in the solitude, cause there are some cards that do not so much (for example Aid, when you already have a Aid in play) and then to use the cards to pitch solitude is a better use then just play. Yes I know with two aids you can this choose two creatuers and get your hammer on a creature, even if one gets removed. So overall all I find Solitude pretty nice and of course there are upsides and downsides. That you play the bolt Emerias Lands can hurt but aginst burn where the life total matters the much, hammer is most of the time to fast for the burn deck and you always can play the land tapped when the 3 life are important. Can I ask you what you think about Forge Anew? good enough for mainboard or just sideboard or not even that? I would love hear the opinion of other Hammer Players :D

@@NewPhyrexia Thanks for your comment. Forge Anew is devastating. One main deck is enough though (none in the sideboard), you have enough options as it is to equip, and you don't want to draw two of them, but it will provide a deadly topdeck in long games, and a good enough draw early in the game.

@@cyrilkaufman6698 Thx for the Answer. That makes sense. I played one main and one side, but then i will take the one out of the sideboard. Maybe then i will put one more copy of Reprieve in the Sidebaord. Its a pretty intressting card, but Im not sure if the 2 Mana is two much for a "Counterspell". I played Hammer for 3 Months now so Im not the best to decide what cards are to Mana expensive and witch are playable. So your thoughts are very welcome on the newer cards from the set. The only Hammer relevant cards are Forge Anew and Reprive right? I hope i didnt overlook a card. Is the Rise of "The One Ring" a problem for Hammer or not, cause that ring gets put in like every second modern deck right now, so should be some removal for that ring in the sideboard? That are many Question and when you readed all this and answer some of this then Thank you very very much :D

@@NewPhyrexia Reprieve is fine but does not beat Hallowed Moonlight, perfect in the format, and it makes you draw too. The Ring is a tempo card, not really threatening for us, we can kill our opponent way before turn four, but if it does become a problem, simply add an extra Pithing Needle.

@@NewPhyrexia What i've decided to do about the ring is include some Horizon canopy for a haywire mite or 2 in the SB. 2 canopy + 3 drum give me enough green sources for the 1 or 2 mite activations, plus both drum and mite are tutorable with saga.

Hahah I love being wrong. I love seeing murktide win a difficult match. What I love the most is a fast playing showboat getting beat by his best matchup.😂

@@anthonyprioletti7800 that was hard to watch lol. showing the win and murktide player was like.... okay....

I did this once against uw friend playing rg Valakut. He tapped out and I went and showed two scapeshifts and a titan. He asked what I was casting, I named scapeshift, he FON, second scapeshift, he FON again and scolded me for being cocky. Never again 😂
