Ooft, that sweet 5-0! I'm all about metagaming, so I'm in love with this video. Every time you play something new I want to buy the deck straight away - I love what you do! You are THE most inspiring Magic content producer, and I love the deck boxes too! Keep crushing!
Why don't you like doing follow up videos? I feel like that's the type of thing that would be incredibly popular. I can understand not wanting to follow up on Humans or Bant Spirits as those are already very established decks. Refining previous decks that didn't break Modern seems great, though.
Name Name he followed up on it calling out Collin Mullens for not giving him credit. As for content on this channel it’s always fresh. That’s why I come back... and the Sarkhan nipples >.>
I'm aware he made the decks. They have since become established and refined by countless other players because they are tier 1 decks. Doesn't matter if he started it, it's out of his hands at this point. I'm not saying rerun the same deck again. He usually talks about a few changes at the end that he thinks would improve the deck.
He disgned what decks? I’ll definitely give him credit for humans reign but did he create Bant Spirits? Spirits had been a thing since Eldritch Moon released, it just never had it’s time in the line light until Supreme Phantom was printed.
One of the things I like most about your videos is when you sideboard you put the pile of what you’re taking out next to what you’re putting in and explain why, better then just throwing in cards here and there and taking out cards
I appreciate the strong level of editing to make the matches move fairly quickly while still allowing an opportunity to think through the decision. Commentary is also delicious.
MTGO actually has a new-ish option for auto-yielding with something along the lines of "No on opponent's creatures" for things like Graft. Very handy! Until you find yourself auto-yielding in a scenario where it's relevant to target your opponent's creature for some reason...
''But unfortunately we didn't get to play this! I was really looking forward to playing that.'' ^ 5-drops in Modern in a nutshell. I'd swap out the Assemble the Legions for Chandra, Torches.
Follow up videos are great, they are the best thing you can do to see if the deck has staying power in the meta and the most conclusive way to convince people to buy the deck!
Was able to convince my friend to build the mono blue mill deck posted recently, and he doesn't like to switch decks from his main at all. Might also get an old sun and moon player to try this out... Muy Grande! Thanks for the quality content!
Never really seen a deck that i would really wanna play in Modern, until now, just the right amount of prison and stompy with relevant interaction. Very Nice.
I second this, in RW a deck without Ensnaring Bridge there is no reason to not play Nahiri imho. In a Bridge version however Assemble can work very well since you only need 1 card in hand to attack with your massive token army.
So yeah I just finished building this deck. My meta is super aggrieved heavy and I’m normally a Grixis Control player, which is a decent matchup because of all of my removal but it’s still not quite enough. I’m excited to try this out. I know you don’t normally replay decks, but I would love to see more gameplay of this to see how Assemble the Legion and Trinishpere play out. Thanks for all your content ily
Man, I remember not that long ago that this channel was lucky to have a hundred comments in the first few hours. Now at over 1100. Been a sub to this channel for a while now and it is awesome to see you grow man. MTG would not be the same on RU-vid without the Aids!
I love this deck so much. The colors its in also feel diverse enough with their hate pieces that you can do subtle tweaks as a meta develops to always have a flexible and competitive deck.
As a massive fan of Assemble the Legion, I too was disappointed to not see it hit the board, and for one would love for you to make a sequel video to this one.
Kinda love that a lot of your recent videos have cards that just got reprinted in Ultimate, picked up a play set of Squee and Vexing Devil super cheap. Keep up the fun videos.
This is MTG just as Richard Garfield intended. Might be my favorite deck of yours I've seen yet. T1 Chalice and turn 2 Blood Moon is exactly what I want to be doing in modern.
I love your content. Your commentary is hilarious, your editing means I can watch a whole league quickly and your decks are innovative. My only problem is I need more Magic Aids videos to watch :O
This is sweet. Do you take deck submissions to test out for videos because i was messing around with this kinda janky but super fun deck and would love to see you try it!
@Magic Aids, would you be down to run this back with Koth over assemble, no moons or spheres, and 2 each of Rest In Peace and stony? I’m curious if you can choke people even further with mainboard hate.
MUY GRANDE!!!! A great red-white deck for this subscriber from Perú 🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪!! Think I'll buy my Chalice set! Is Thalia an acceptable Trinisphere replacement? Or Vryn Wingmare? Why no more Blood Moon/Magus? Loved these games!!
Ahhh prison.... The ultimate Boros hate jail, where every naughty modern player goes to pay for their net-decking sins. Another great video and wonderful example of reading the meta and shutting down that gotta go fast attitude. Prison is my all time favorite archetype to play, nothing worse than a pox/stax player as they revel and grin at the frustrations of their opponents to the point they simply give up. Keep making the great content, I’ve been waiting for good prison ideas and chalice is always a must include for this deck
(Edit: Nevermind, saw the video describing the dice, for context I will leave my old comment intact.) Someone might've already asked this but out of curiosity what are those small things between the deckboxes?
Well done! I get such a kick out of building a deck specifically to counter a certain deck or card in the meta. It feels like transforming from the hunted into the hunter. XD
How does the deck do against dredge game 1? It doesn't feel great but it could be sadly you didnt get to see more of the meta in your league but hey you took down the Phoenix scourge twice!
are chalice and trinisphere not antisynergy? I am new to modern, so I might be waaaay off.. is the plan to trinisphere and then challice for x=3? but a lot of cards of this deck cost 3, too..
Dont think assemble the legion is good enough when the curve is that low kinda, it just messes up your hazoret. Also, how is the matchup against UW? Love the deck tho!
The laugh when you played Chalice at 18:21 was so good. Fucking beauty. Also you should do a follow up to this (totally not only because I want to see Assemble the Legion played, that would be ridiculous).
And I'm still playing the Pelt Zoo. Changed the build a little but it has risen from a joke deck status to almost a real bigboy deck status. Love it :)
Qeustion: First we cast Chalice of the void on 1! Then after 2 turns we are casting TrinitySphere. Does an 1 mana cost card like Path to exile, or Lightning Bolt still gets countered by Chalice? Or not? Because the card cost now 3 instead of 1?!
I actually really want a set of Hazoret b/c of this video. As usual well done my bro. Also! I'm very interested in one of them sweet sweet looking deck boxes!!!!!!!!!!
