Unplayable: Bogles 

Who keeps shadowspear outside of sideboard though?

Hammer time, and then in game two saga finds it for them

@@Garl_Vinland Hammer time and affinity

"Starter deck" maybe, but I don't think Bogles will become a viable tournament deck again, at least not with the game plan of hitting the opponent with a big beatstick, Modern is well on its way of becoming a turn 2 kill format.

Echoing this! Amazing video and I'm happy to hit the subscribe button, kudos to H Puzzle!

Yes, I agree with that completely! We have these strong auras that are great...in limited lol

i kinda want to speculate its because aura's just dont support fun gameplay in a constructed enviroment. Either you slap them all on a dude that cant be interacted with and your opponent has to watch your creature go brrrr, or your opponent uses one of the answers to 5-for-1 you and instantly win. Equipment shows how this sort of "buff up your unit" style of card is done much better. They are more interactive for the opponent, since they can respond to the cast and the equip ability. Its more fun for you because if you get blown out, atleast the equip is still on the board.

Ah yes, the very interactive meta of embercleave... jokes aside, the "pure" aura deck with a single creature on the board is unlikely to come back with the amount of sacrifice effects that are now available, which also bypasses totem armor. But as standard has shown, wotc isn't limiting auras for limited, ossification and that +2/trample draw on death aura are two good examples of that. With the emergence of enchantment creatures you get a more consistent board presence than what classical bogle decks which means you need to mulligan much less because you have more viable openers than looking for 1 or 2 specific creatures. There's always going to be a tradeoff between power spike and consistency, assuming good card design in the first place, so "fixing" the bogle mulligan problem is only going to happen with a stronger card that does the same thing or with a different strategy, more reliable, but less explosive. But if you trade too much of that explosiveness, others will have time to setup their plan or deal with yours. tl;dr : Bogle having built in protection simply means he's going to remain relevant based on how strong attaching effects are in green and blue. Auras, Equips, counters, there's a bunch of ways to exploit bogle's hexproof and since he's a 1 drop, he's always going to be around as a great deck building check, sweeping anyone who cuts corners and can't deal with hexproof. Pro Tour material? unlikely given the wide card pool of modern, but still a sidedeck check even there. LGS champion? just as likely as any other competitive decks.

Thank you! For this video, I talked a lot based on my personal experiences with the deck which were in Modern, and because of that, I realized there was a lack of research into Pauper Bogles. I plan on doing more research for these in the future, especially since I will be talking about decks I did not personally play!

I've considered it to be correct ever since Benjamin Wheeler made me realize boggles is spelled boggles so why would bogles be pronounced boggles.

Boggling, given the card is clearly a Bogle@@MakeVarahHappen

Hmm I thought it was Boogles like what the ghosts say

I played Bogles during that time and Top 8d a Team Trios. 100% agree

Merfolk is actually solidly tier 2 and has decent matchups against several of the top decks now.

Martyr-Proc and U-Tron are both largely dead in Modern today, and that kinda bums me out.

Boggle is funnier, though

@@danielsniff6405 Oh, you like to make me suffer!

That showcase game was in pioneer. Neither of those cards are legal there seeing as they were only printed in OG zendikar block

@@TheRovingPunsterYou're right about the pioneer thing, disregard the mistaken intro sentence xD

with ssg banned the bogles player should always be able to get a one drop out before turn two chalice on one. you still make a good point about EE

Had a coworker with the last name Bogle, he pronounced it the way it's being said throughout the video.
