When Keruga cost 5 instead of 8, I think not counting itself was a little more reasonable. Remember when MtG design thought it was ok to just *cast* a companion? Wild times.
One (among many) things I love about your content is how differently you play/think about the game compared to non-legacy/vintage RU-vidrs and pros. Not saying it’s better or worse, just a testament to the strategic breadth of the game! Came to mind in M1G3 lol (and whenever you minus T3feri on nothing)
Amulet is seriously fun to play, but it takes an age to master the deck. There's a trillion lines to take. I used to play it lots pre MH1, but I've not touched modern in a while
52:28 Could you have gone for Norn here and then Binding twice since the ETB triggers are doubled? Remove all the Dryads and Cultivator, then the titan on top does nothing on ETB and you aren't dead to Valakut? I might be missing something but i think that works
The BW deck in the first round really seemed like they were super reliant on either scamming or having you make a really greedy play and capitalizing off that, and if you just bide your time and play fair they don't do anything.
That's why Griefblade has always been Tier 2. It has the scam options through Grief and fast Kaldra, but unlike Rakdos Scam it's extremely anemic when you don't do those things.
This deck is cool. This is the kind of thing I like doing in casual EDH. I'm surprised there's no Nissa or Risen Reef, though (not that I'm qualified to have useful opinions on Modern decks).
In round 2 game 1 would it have been a good idea to bounce your own leyline if your Teferi resolved? You’d legend rule theirs and just be able to bind it again without revealing that you’ve got a second binding.
Why didn't you drop Teferi around 16 minutes in? They were tapped low and grabbing Keruga didn't do much at that boardstate. What was the thought process behind it?
What are you talking about? We would have been stone dead to T1 scammed Fury in any of those games. Scammed Grief beat us, but we still got to play the game. I don't think Fury was the wrong ban at all. The stance that it was not only wrong, but clearly and obviously wrong, is just untenable.
They didn't want to kill an archetype though. Just neuter it along with a few others. Wotc only destroys whole decks or archetypes as a last resort.@@a_fuckin_spacemarine7514
