Last match is absolute cockblock
Haha sure was!
Hi! Nice video! I’m also exploring for the first time this deck, seems really solid! And outside Ugin’s labyrinth and Emrakul I think it’s not so expensive…Maybe some copies of ancient stirrings could be good along with malevolent rumble? Also, how to side is a mistery to me 😂
Hi! Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Yea thankfully not too expensive, and emrakul is coming down thanks to the reprint. Have seen versions with ancient stirrings that seem good, think they often replace karn. Sideboarding is always difficult with Karn 😂 I side him out against fast decks. Also, good to bring in some of the artifacts usually, just to naturally draw I think, but yes is hard!
i wonder if Bounding Krasis i better in a format with bowmaster, over perstermite. Cool deck
Ah yes could well be here! I do like being able to tap an opponents land or generate an extra mana, depends what will come up more often I guess
@nickbmtg true, good points!
I subbed as well. I like the calm commentary and you do a good job of giving your reasoning for your decisions.
Thanks! Glad you enjoy, that is the sort of thing I'm going for :)
subbed, gl on reaching that 1k! some of the best commentary for mtg content, keep it up
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoy the videos :)
Come on with rhino’s Man!!!!
Ah they're on the list for next week!
u are phlage or Murk fan??
@@yusefparienti9697 Think I prefer Murk at the moment. What about you?
@@nickbmtg I think the best way is to play the threat on turn 2º, cascade on 3º e go away like this strategy. Remember phlage and Murk are wonderful, but u have so many treath in a deck, sub for example that interaction with the opponent and make pressure on board. U realy need another traeth in a deck??
I'm a simple man. When I see Hollow Ones, I subrscribe.
Haha thanks! Really enjoyed the deck, going to run another league soon :)
Great run’! Thanks for sharing. Have you tried the version of this deck with Flameblade Adept + Inti over the DRC package ?
No worries, thanks for your comment! I haven't yet, but I do remember adept being really good when hollow one first came about. Will have to try it!
At 53:41 I think you should have used Fell the Profane to kill Ajani, planning to clear Ocelot Pride tokens with a Meathook later.
Thanks for your comment - yes that would have been better! A good wider point here too I think- I should be planning further ahead rather than just this turn, so will try and do that in the future!
I own 100 necrodominace and 100 Sorin on MTGO All for bought for 1$ each I will continue to buy them every 30 hours lol
That is quite some spec!
wtf is this 720p in a 144p quality?
Ah sorry I've been having some issues with recording, hopefully fixed going forward
always happy to see rhinos! not sure how i feel about scion tbh our decklist runs without it and guildpact
Gotta love the 4/4s! Yea i'm undecided which is better, may depend on what we expect the meta to be
Would be cool to see you try out Eldrazi Ramp in a league
Yes do want to try that deck out - will add it to the list!
Why did the opponent conceded game 1 with affinity? The boots gave ward 1 and you didnt have spare mana and it was lethal?
*Edited a couple times as I figure it out You're right, I messed up. I meant to binding the boots at beginning of combat to stop the monitor having haste, but moved too far on modo.
What u think about murktide version??
I like it, murk is a great backup plan. Need to play more to see which version is best, possibly depends on the meta. I do like not having to top deck leyline!
@@nickbmtg it’s a shit leyline’s top deck, scion it’s removable whith different ways
@@yusefparienti9697 Yea that is true. I do like it vs aggressive decks though
Love me some Twin!
Me too, glad to have it back in the format!
More 4c YAYYY
Always love some 4C!
Can't hear anything
Ahh apologies I seem to have had some audio problems.
re-upload please? ur audio is almost impossible to hear.
Thanks for letting me know, I seem to have had a few issues lately! Will hopefully be able to rectify for future videos.
I've been trying to figure out how to sideboard with oculus properly for a while. Thankyou so much for good games :)
Thanks! No worries, glad you enjoyed! :)
@ would you be willing to make a video explaining why you sideboard the way you do? I’d be really interested in that :)
I have done in the past :) Did you mean in general or for this specific deck?
@ I have a list for oculus that I’ve been working with but just in general will give me the knowledge I need. Hardest part for me is knowing when to board in the monostary mentors and the exorcises I have. More than happy to share a deck list if you’d like
Ah yea it's hard to know regarding mentor! I'll add it to the list to go over in a video in the new year :)
Havent been this excited about modern in years. Feel loved, friend, this is my first post announcement viewing of a brave new format. Of COURSE we're stating with Twin.
Welcome back!! Yes I'm very excited, Modern feels great now, so much to explore!
Good sir, youy may want to record these with a at least 3 more decibels of volume. I can barely hear anything you are saying.
Ahh yea apologies, I've been having this issue recently for some reason :( Will have to look in to fixing it!
Hey man, I think this deck can return. But I think u should play it like a tempo deck, without leyline and Draco
Hey, yea definitely going to re-visit! Sadly nothing from the unbans really, but think FON gets a bit better
@ 4 Fon + 1 Flare of Denial (4 Subtetly)
Why u didn’t put sylvan gatekeeper( vs bolts/phlages…) or six?
Have seen lists with these cards in, did just copy a list for this one. I do like safekeeper - six sometimes feels a bit awkward as we don't run many lands
How are you feeling about this standard so far? I feel like technically it feels wide open but there’s only a couple decks catching my eye and I find myself doing the “can it beat Bx mid or Rx prowess” debate
Yea quite enjoying it! I know what you mean, prowess definitely looks really strong. There does seem to be quite a few decks I want to try, the tolarian terror ones and mono white tokens are next on the list.
man, enduring innocence with gideon against midrange/control is disgusting.
It sure is!
Been contributing to some views for this video. Absolutely love your deck and your thought process. Keep it up
Thank you! Glad you like the videos!
I just found your channel and normally i dont comment. But i just wanted to say I like your stuff! Keep it up 🙆
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoy the videos :)
Seriously? Attack after the first round that the Ring resolved?
I think u should try it without leyline sinergy.
Do u think it’s playble again??
I do yes! Leyline scion is good at the moment, and the 4/4s present quite a clock
@@nickbmtg I love this deck, u should use very well every answers at the right time. I think the hardest matchup are Tron and boros
Thanks, I do too! Yes those are hard, scion is good vs Boris if we can get it with leyline. I like betrayal vs Tron, always fun!
Wonderful
I already shipped the cardss
Mine arrived today, excited to play it in paper!
Ive been running the Angels version of this for about a year, and Ive been on the fence about it for awhile. Might shove a pair of Kayla's Reconstruction in this list and give it a go.
Oh cool, yea reconstruction could be good. I really enjoyed playing this league!
Loved me some rhinos, personally the deck needs the brazen borrower right now
Yea i love them too! Always did like borrower, anything specific you been wanting it for?
@nickbmtg just a good answer/threat I am more surprised with all the early game aggro decks running around dead gone doesn't make the cut either
In your zoo matchup, if you leyline binding the leyline of the guildpact instead of the kavu (19:49), you more than likely win that match. The op didn't have any land types, so the kavu would have died.
Ahh thanks - yep that would have been so much better! Need to keep that in mind when playing vs Zoo
The spliced arcane was 100% a counter. It read "timewalk" on the card.
Yes it likely was - I was just scared of countering that since I didn't have the win next turn, so saved the FON to counter the payoff
Hi! What do you think about running Betrayal against Zoo? You can go for his Draco or Kavu depending on what you need. The idea would be to go 3 Footfalls and 2 Betrayal and go 2/3 Subtlety. About Bonecrusher I'm not a huge fan, I always prefer a Subtlety first, even against Boros.
Hi! Hmm not sure about betrayal vs zoo but could see trying it out! Yea bonecrusher didn't really come up this league much, but can be great vs ring decks.
I find myself using the term "nine you" and even "twelve you" quite often with jeskai and I think it's pretty indicative of Phlage's power level
Yea same! It's certainly quite a card
Too many lands, mate, way too many😂😂😂😂
Whats the point to have emrakul in sideboard?)
Emrakul is usually there to bring in against Mill, as it shuffles your library back in.
Is it possible to play any control deck anymore without the one ring? I only play paper and refuse to buy a playset.
Yea the card is everywhere at the moment! Think most full control decks want it, but there are more tempo style decks like Murktide that don't.
Just finished the video, I really think the deck need 1 or 2 more lands
Thanks, yea could be right, I did struggle on lands a few times
This has to be the worst deck ever into boros, as well as into jeskai energy. I think only rock nostalgia is a valid motivation to play this deck lol. Yeah it did well in a challenge, but mtg is a game where sometimes stars align for many games in a row, and any deck can win. kinda like winning a lottery. This 3-2 felt really lucky honestly, I think the deck is really mid
I do admit I love the rock... Will play a few more leagues to see how they go I think
Back from vacation and a BG rock video pop on my feed 😎
Ah yes feels great to play it again! Hope you had a good vacation!
@@nickbmtg pretty good, but too short unfortunately haha. Yeah I'm back on the rock too, I think the deck has legs in this meta
Ah always the case! Yes me too, excited to play it some more
Told you! ;) do friday footfalls again, i bet you will hit 1k subs :)
Ah yes maybe it is time to bring it out of retirement!
Hey dude, always love the Quintorius Combo vids!
Thanks, glad you like them! Still liking the deck, but need to tweak it a bit I think to combat all the creature decks
Everyone saying rhinos is dead, GG bro, 5-0 with that is quite something ! I must admit i also think rhinbos is super bad hah hah. I see you even beat jesk control lol, damn !
Thanks! Going to play some more, see if I can replicate the results!
@@addkite i never stopped playing rhinos in my LGS and kept going first or 2nd and everyone was crying about how bad rhinos is right now 🤣🤣🤣
@@GotchaPlaysGer well done !
Hey Nick, any interest in playing Jeskai or Boros Energy? What decks are you preferring right now?
Hey - I have played a bit of Jeskai control, but haven't actually tried Boros... Should probably give it a try, just to get a look from the other side. Lots of things to try in Modern at the moment, of the top decks though i'm quite liking Goryo's.
@@nickbmtg Sick. I'd recommend trying Boros, although it isn't your usual kind of combo deck, it is actually really fun and I think that contributes pretty significantly to its popularity and "staying power" in the metagame. Also, I've seen some weird Domain Zoo lists with Leyline+Scion, Bowmasters, Ajani and Frog. It's a weird list but it's basically just playing all the most busted creatures. Really interesting.
Hi Nick, glad to have stumbled on your channel. Fellow Brit here :). Very clear explanations of the reasoning behind decisions, good job. Also playing slow enough to follow it all. Can you sort out the sound levels between videos though? Some I have to turn right up to hear at all, and then goes to next and my neighbours move out, lol. Subscribing.
Hi, welcome to the channel - thanks for your comment! Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for pointing the sound issues out, not sure what's causing that! Will investigate and try and fix going forwards :)
@@nickbmtg Thankyou very much :)
I'm trying to play this deck as a beginner, what do you think?
I say go for it! It's a good deck, with lots of interaction and a powerful gameplan
That woodlands spike list is NOT rogue, that’s one of the best decks in modern right now.
Yea it does seem powerful! Hoping to run hot tomorrow with it!
