At 35:36, you pay 4 mana to cast Consign to Memory with 1 replicate to play around trinisphere. Trinisphere does not care about the spells CMC, it cares about how much mana was spent to cast it. You CAN just double replicate it (U2 total CMC) to get three instances of Consign to Memory and Trinisphere sees you having spent 3 mana to cast a spell. You can just target either the Ulamog or the Cast trigger twice and it will still be a legal target because it's on the stack. This is how shattering spree interacts with trinisphere as well, and you can do this to beat chalice on 1, 2, and trinisphere when playing storm, for example (cast shattering spree with 2 replicates, trinisphere sees 3 mana spent, target chalice on 1 with the OG cast, and then trinisphere and chalice on 2 with the replicates). Chalice on 1 will counter the original cast, and then the 2 replicates will destroy trinisphere and chalice on 2, enabling all your juicy rituals. Trinisphere is a weird magic card and I hate it not because of what it does, but because of how confusing and unintuitive the card is.
I know I’m super late to this video, but I just found you guys 🙂. Just wanted to say at 8:46, the tron player could not scry/draw with Kozilek command because he cast the One Ring on his turn, so he still has the protection and cannot target himself. This is a very easy to miss interaction. Love the chemistry between y’all though, glad I found your channel!
I love tron so much. I played it a lot in pauper and have a blast. Seems like the new modern set really pushed Tron into a powerful spot once Nadu is gone. Cannot wait to see my favorite deck keep on rocking people. Hats off to Neon for putting on the bravest face ive ever seen. That was NOT easy to watch him just keep losing all his lands.
@@neonmushroom6763 Bro I've been in that spot a few times before so I know how you feel. Be proud of the fact you can take it on the chin and laugh it off. Because not many can do that. Well done my dude!
The One Ring indeed does not stop the Koz Command exile as cards in your graveyard are not covered. "If a player has protection from everything, it means three things: 1) All damage that would be dealt to that player is prevented. 2) Auras can't be attached to that player. 3) That player can't be the target of spells or abilities." Targeting cards in your grave is not targeting you. The same would go for surgical extraction. The only thing it targets is the card in the graveyard. It will still be able to search your grave, hand, and library to yoink additional copies as well.
You can actually sideboard with a karn board. Idk if I'd do it against control but it's definitely something to consider. Like bringing in karn targets that aren't first picks in the match up but still good and taking out bad stuff.
you aren't properly testing if you don't actually mulligan. A deck like Amulet Titan for example would seem INFINITELY better if you mulligan 3-4 times but kept 6 each time in testing, and then feel like garbage once you actually play. You don't learn what a good 6 is if you just keep going to 6 over and over again, since you don't know WHY a mid 6 might be better than whatever 5 you draw.
