I watch with sound off, had to replay it three times, and still didn't get it, for everyone else in my situation, have a look at board state, his hand, and read the cards carefully
Hey Phil, loved the video! Our match was in my first testing league with this new version (Turbo Dredge), just before Poxwalkers hit MTGO. The deck is even better now with this addition!
I was giggling in my seat as I watched the Bear Mom absolutely slaughter Phil. Was the deck your own brew? or did you find it somewhere else? Who was the genius who realized bear=zombie?
Round 3 match 1, i think you win if you activate fairy mastermind instead of playing a new one, gives you a counter to crop. At that point you know you can survive the emrakul alone so you should have tried to draw for a counter effect to handle anything extra.
I was his match 3, if the crop was countered at that point in the match I had ulamog, emrakul, crop rotation and the rest lands. Crop gets countered I'm done for. He draws to hit the counter or draws to make me draw the karakas. If I hit the karakas I couldn't play it because I played a land already
8:16 note that one would have to fetch for the undercity sewers, and with the surveil trigger on the stack cast brainstorm and out a fatty on top. getxhing after the brainstorm qould clear the top of the deck, of course :D
You & I have disagreed on a number of things... but "Faerie On My Wayward Son" one-HUNDRED percent works. I have so many fond memories of playing this tribal archetype back in the day, so I'm all in on today's video!
Awesome, glad you were able to pull off a positive record! I like the direction you took the deck. Faeries as a tribe just aren't strong enough. Obyra and sleep cursed looked better in play than i gave them credit for. For nostalgic reasons, I wanted to see the swarm do work and in that sense, I'll consider it a win. Thank you Phil!
Played this deck at my LGS last week. It was surprisingly strong. Would love to see you giving this another shot with some adjustments. Should we play Dismember also in the Post-Sticker era? I added 4xBowmaster. No Faerie, but just such a strong card also in this deck.
I actually play a blue black rogues deck in modern that’s very similar and it does quite well, actually. Bitterblossom and Oona’s Blackguard are shockingly good. Bowmasters is nightmarish, as always.
Phil, really... "the surveil land is cute in reanimator as you can brainstorm a creature on top and then surveil it into the graveyard, and you can just do it by a fetch land". You fetch, you shuffle the creature in the deck... the basics.
@8:23 not sure using a fetchland to find a surveil land to mill the creature you put back on top with brainstorm is going to work out the way you want it to...
Yeah, I understand you could sequence it differently but a) that's not what was said and b) that does diminish the value of brainstorm a bit because instead of getting rid of 2 dead cards, you're milling 1. Still good, but sometimes not as good. @@TheThiccestChungus
