What was the best Modern deck ever? We made our community vote for one deck to represent each year since 2011, played four rounds of Swiss, and now we bring you each match of the Top 8. Jamin is playing Thoralf and either Death's Shadow or Eye of Ugin could be knocked out of the tournament.

@NeoHellPoet 8 месяцев назад

Nope on Eldrazi, nope on Hogaak Both decks are fully unbanned and have even more cards they can use in Legacy and they see zero play. Modern Horizons 2 kills them dead. If the swiss hadn't put the the 2020 decks together I would be betting they take all 4 spots.

@@NeoHellPoet If you don't understand the difference in context between the legacy card pool and the modern card pool, with or without MH2, I don't know what to tell you. The decks weren't great in legacy even before MH2, and in fact MH2 actually brought back Hogaak for a bit in that format.

I really like it ^^

You can in fact cast matter reshaper with a Cavern of Souls, Cavern taps for colorless. You also don't need to tell your opponent it can be countered

@ellisgriffin668 8 месяцев назад

Yeah but willfully withholding public information from your opponent feels like a dick move. Also, the un-counterability from cavern only comes from the second ability, which can only provide colored mana

@olafthemoose9413 8 месяцев назад

Matter reshaper costs only one colorless mana in this spot because of the Eye of Ugin and cavern's uncounterable mana is colored mana only.

@@olafthemoose9413 And Cavern still taps for colorless.

@dottn 8 месяцев назад

@@zym6687In order to be uncounterable, you need to use the mode "add one mana of any color". Colorless is not a color, and can thus not be produced in that mode. You can still use cavern to create a colorless mana, but that would not grant uncounterable.

@DamonXWind 8 месяцев назад

@ellisgriffin668 Obviously this video isn't about competitive level play, but in competition, with prizing on the line, there is a big difference between bluffs, dick moves, angle shooting, and cheating Tapping a land that can legally cast your spell without saying "tap for colorless, would you like to counter this" is on the far left side of that spectrum. The interaction is visible on the board and it's up to the opponent to catch it and punish it if they can

Eye is way better than ancient tomb. Tomb is 2 mana, if you have an eye on the board and seven eligible cards in your hand that is 14 mana. Yeah it’s an extreme case but since it’s a passive effect it is easy for the eye to essentially generate more than 2 mana.
