How Good Is Simulacrum Synthesizer Affinity In Modern? 

What a guy

Well well well look who it is 😂

@@TheJenShow I did nothing wrong😇

@@meatmtg we all saw you committing that crime with grist & gisa 🧐

Why u playing so many bad cards in the main ? What did u cut yawg is so stock 🤣

Extremely hard to cast consistently + often times you have to play your ornithopter to generate the colour to cast satoru with springleaf drum, defeating the purpose. Also not an artifact, which lowers your chances of casting things like soujourners compantion for free, again defeating the purpose.

I used it on an UB Affinity list. Pure Insanity, too much card advantage

8 days late but if you're still interested in Satoru in this deck Magic Aids made that video a lil bit ago and it performed pretty good!

Also the Green and White tap lands vs 0 Black tap lands when the only non blue card is Dismember... not a refined list.

There's green in sideboard with Mite.

Are you guys being purposely dense or have you never played with Mite? It requires green to sacrifice.

Totally missed haywire mite. Disregard.

Synthesizer triggers on etb, not cast.

@@michaelmahn4373it would trigger with Frogmite

​​@@fseccoYes, but if they let scry resolve and LSV plays Frogmite afterwards, they still can Boseiju with Frogmite on the stack, so before Frogmite enters the battlefield. So the Frogmite won't trigger Synthesizer because it will be gone when Frogmite enters the battlefield. It would be different when Synthesizer triggered on cast.

@@michaelmahn4373 oh the token trigger is also etc. Noted. Thought it was on cast. ;)

45:30 -- also, Haywire Mite

@@caydenong3128lol missed that, thanks!

Halo hopper!

@@tastyhaze2058 I did think about it. You're just not running enough creatures to make that viable. I've I've ended up replacing them with the lady of the lake from OG eldrain and from the same set the x cost snake as it's a one mana memnite that can also trigger as a three drop and holds the equipment pretty well. Alternative to options were the gingerbread man for similar reasons except for being a three drop.

try 4x Emry shell

Haywire mite in sideboard, needs green to sac.

Halo Hopper has convoke, you actually have to tap things to play it while Frogmite is actually free. "Strictly better" is just not at all correct in this situation - every noncreature artifact in the deck does nothing to reduce its cost.

I think you may prove to be correct with your answer. I am no Affinity expert but I do play the deck. Also I am building a very similar deck to try out. I just wish Synthesizer wasn't like $45, but the 4th one should arrive today. This deck seems to want to do one thing. That one thing is crap out construct tokens that are huge and win the game off of them. The issue, like you said and others are finding out is that this is to slow to consistently win PLUS it has the negative hate cards game 2 and 3. I do think there is an solution to make this work though, in that perhaps it would make more sense to run more rebukes and counter magic in the main to slow the game down a bit. If the opponent misses a turn or gets a key card countered that could buy enough time for this deck to go off. These are just my thoughts though and the current iteration of trying to jam a Synthesizer down on turn 2 just doesn't really work consistently enough. I do feel like Synthesizer is a card that can be abused and perhaps in Affinity, but it just isn't there yet. I could see this card going way down in price in a few months OR someone cracks the code and it doubles in price. Since I just bought 4 of them, I would bet that it drops in price :-)

@@SteveMichael I would predict the price to drop, then rise once more support pieces are printed, or a competitive deck around the card emerges. I think you are correct that deck will contain more interaction to help deploying the game plan game 1, and hamper hate cards games 2 and 3. I wouldnt be surprised if a card like Reality Heist would be featured

Can I ask why? I don’t play much modern, what does Jegantha do for the deck?

​@@TheAmbientPulse doesn't do anything in particular, it's just free, so there's no reason not to play it.

Because of Dismember?

Lavaspur boots is the new OTJ card this deck needs to be playing

​@@TheSlitherySnekthe lavaspur boots that are in the deck? lol

BB is just so hard to get without other sacrifices and Nettlecyst is kinda just better without BB.

Yeah, didn't really look like you'd wanted to play this card in any of the matches.

​@malte54 I disagree. He ended up not playing the synth a lot because he just had saga activations and his hand was a little clunky on mana.
