I had the same thoughts! So far it "seems" to be okay. Last time I played dredge was before grave troll was unbanned haha so I just took someone else's list and gave it a go!

Hey man! Always up to talk builds. What is your current 75? Obviously the bans/unbans have changed things since I was running this. You in aggro build or more eldrazi ramp?

@@jimothytheblue I'm trying right now to reach up for a aggro approach, had a long run using diferent build material focused on threat on bloodmoon effects and abuse a lot tha heralds + raker. In my builds i focused first on try abuse myco + world breaker and nulldrifter to keep it running. Turns out when u sequence them almost always we win. Latter in the season i used the linebreaker and the U/R/G/C splashs where a lot to handle, also i had a bad time building on the 7's drops. For a short run i used the battlemage too and some chalices to face burn, occulus, UW energy and stuff. Between origins and the banning i've been doing bad results trying to use the sire for the same issue, also with no nulldrifter i missed some gas even using 2 sanctuns of ugin to try chain big eldrazi over. Right now i'm trying to workout a blue green build for delay and put some body (worked really well to me) with the blue eldrazi and worldbreaker, repurpser, myco and others. I've been watching u play and never occured to me use herigast not even for a mile. For some reason i think we could try to abuse a little Hanweir or Arena of glory for put some haste even having the linebreaker. Had a lot of sucess using those sanctuns to just chaing big eldrazi. Mimic on my field is a bad idea for the bowmasters / wrenn and six count, so i am trying out repurpser and reshaper on its spot www.moxfield.com/decks/Imjb0SlQ6EmxPnxcVnWECA This is a old build that had a good time. www.moxfield.com/decks/Hqohqj_cBUCh7Fgz7AsF5g This other had a really good time too, but have 13 7's felt too much and sometimes is heavy play with no C.A. i've been working on a secrekeeper build to keep on check the early game with those stun counters. But i belive a more aggro approach will do best, for some time i changed my heralds for talisman to avoid moon. Thoughts?

I think you are on the right track. Mycospawn is probably too good not to play and if you are playing it and ugins lab might as well use world breaker. I do think nulldrifter is secretly one of the best cards besides kcommand to support the 3 drops (breaker/raker) so I think. Buuld with devourer, nulldrifter, world breaker could be good. Maybe 1 dust (no sire - maybe play in the sb for matchups where it's strong.) One thing to consider is if tks is good enough. It's sort of awkward inn the curve for our 3 drops. And we want as many chesp spells as possible. Maybe waste scape in that slot? I think trinisphere or chalice is a must. Though - vexing bauble looks good vs the hollow one and evoke and force spells we see so much of! I havent run it since the unban. Just so many faithless looting and opal decks i want to try!

Always cool decks out there if you dig for them! Haha

Does that feeling inform your thoughts or is it one that you dismiss as reactionary?

@ I’m not dismissing the deck as bad or unpoweful, I’m saying the lines it takes are just so brain dead and linear it’s laughable. This is like Timmie’s first modern deck type brain dead “fetch the token and then target it and win haha”

My point in asking is your point is very reductive and narrow sighted. At its core nearly every modern deck can sound brain dead. Boros nrg - oh wow just cast my creaturds and make a thousand tokens ez Hollow one - burning inquiry goes brrrr Trb- just cast breach. It's a 1 spell combo Storm - ral + rituals = ez Goyros - frog discard atraxa goryos ephemenate = win. Most decks have a fairly "simple" strategy. Many decks have combos. I mean twin is another 2 card combo. What makes magic complex isn't the two cards that win or the 1 spell that has to resolve. Blue belcher is so far from brain dead but it wins with 1 card +activate. Just because you don't like losing to a deck doesn't mean it's not "brain alive" Yes persist/creativity + archon is a simple combination but playing the deck optimally to more than a 50% win rate still requires intelligence and skill mixed with luck and good deckbuilding - just like any other strategy!

@@jimothytheblue All the combos you mentioned involve two actual cards that you need to cast out of your hand to achieve the combo. Breach is not a 1 card combo lmao the card literally doesn’t do anything without at least one other card. You can have 0 cards in hand, 0 cards in graveyard, control 0 nonland permanents, but if you control 4 lands, one of which is a fetch, you can topdeck a creativity and have your combo. I can’t think of another example that’s this easy to pull off and requires so little setup and thought to achieve. Boros energy requires you to keep track of all your triggers *at least*, and bad players really struggle to keep track of ocelot pride triggers because I’ve seen it many times even in RCQ level tournaments. There are decisions to be made in all other decks you mentioned. There are exactly 0 decisions to be made while doing your combo, and no, to thoughtseize before doing your combo is not a decision lmao. Me calling this deck brain dead is not reductive, narrow sighted, nor misinformed. It’s also not about me losing to the deck. I am stating what I believe after watching it be played by bad players to success. There’s just very little opportunity to make mistakes and misplay because there are 0 decisions to be made with the “combo.” It’s a modern deck I’d give to a new player. It’s brain dead.

Fair enough you are entitled to your opinion. Obviously breach requires 1 card in hand. The same way creativity requires a fetch (and to play exclusively mountains). Very similar combos. Breach ramps, this deck plays 1 mana interactive cards. All that being said. I would still encourage you to use terms that are friendly, kind, and encouraging to players. "Brain dead" isn't any of those things. Saying a deck is new-player friendly and simpler to learn is a much better way to communicate - assuming you care too. It's also your choice to not be friendly or kind...but that's a whole different conversation

I agree it should be a golden age for elves. It is interesting this person's choices - but they DID get the 5-0 so maybe they are right? Haha I'm not sure! I think finale as a win con makes sense where chord isn't that necessarily. But the numbers of each seem odd and leaf-crown is so good

Yeah I commented on that - I think this is an interesting build. Obviously worked for them!

Go on…we’re waiting for the suggestions

@@jtyree0226 If you want to play white try lingering souls, also allows you to play better sideboard cards with white. If you want blue, use the UB frog shell with unearth, but then you add persist and archron which actually gives you better early game and late game. There you go.

@@jtyree0226 If you want to play white try lingering souls, has decent synergy with looting and graveyard in general, plus it gives you access to better sideboard cards like stoney silence. If you want to play blue use the UB frog shell with unearth but add archon, persist and looting. Gives you a better early game and late game. There you go.

@ I’ve written a reply 4 times but it won’t stay? Wtf?

Nice! How has it been running? Still with the same 75?

Thank you! Glad you appreciate it

Unfortunately no - that is part of why I am playing more Koma than wurm. It is less CMC for shoal but better since its a goyro's target. Goryo's specifies Legendary creature - and the worldspine wurm - despite looking super cool - is not a legend!

100% i really made like...27 mistakes in this match and still managed to win haha. Should speak to the strength of the deck! In my defense I never even goldfished the deck before and didn't play modern when creativity was a top deck before and it was late at night haha. Hope you enjoy the video

I will answer your question with a question! What suites your playstyle more? What do you enjoy? Do you want to interact, go long, have "play" in every matchup. Do you enjoy countermagic and finding the line through complicated messes of permanents+cards in hand? Then belcher is definitely worth it! It can also pivot into other builds as-needed as the meta settles. Storm - is for if you like to play a little more solitaite, win faster, find the "line" through the hate but you don't necessarily like being concerned with every card in your opponents deck. I think both are strong and fine to invest in long-term! Appreciate the encouragement! :)

Yeah! Been enjoying it a lot - moved on to try out creativity but will definitely be back and ended up 7-3 overall after 2 leagues. Need to come up with a real sb plan and that will help!

Oh I will! I did not know any computer sounds were being recorded my apologies!

I think there definitely could be a kaalia deck - i think you would want way more "hits" then just griselbrand. Thinking things like dragon lords and iona!

Appreciate it, I hope you enjoy the video!

I am sure there is some way to build this! with shoal and soul spike and griselbrand. Maybe emperor of bones ulamog too? mono black? You are right I have no idea how it would fit into this particular build but could be fun to brew!

The new top deck? Will give it a spin soon!

ua-cam.com/video/HBMog1v5JaY/v-deo.html enjoy!

Thanks! I agree...makes fury way more consistent. Plus I've cast the monk like 4 times in 2 leagues. Just posted a video today with an updated list with koma in it - think it's better than emmy on average

@jimothytheblue I was thinking to myself that card is probably castable sometimes. Nice, I'll check it out.

Yeah it's definitely NOT the same but it is great fun and at least scratches the itch (atraxa never has for me) I considered chalice. Being able to play it on 1 and 0 easily is definitely good against a decent amount of the field. I think not being able to play it on 1 until turn 2 is a big disadvantage though since things like thoightseize or an opponents looting setting up a big turn before chalice comes into play. Pact feels a lot less worth it when we aren't "winning" at instant speed. It could protect the griselbrand lines specifically but like this league i only used grisel twice and won 6 games without him! Moon doesn't seem to have the impact it used to. But maybe it could work. We can still turn 2 it and maybe slow things like affinity?

@ the modern meta is a mystery to me as I’ve not played since MH released. Legacy feels like vintage, modern feels like legacy and standard feels like modern due to the power creep in all sets since Eldraine. It’d be nice to see the fast and furious releases and creep slow down a bit.

@@chupacabra8821 I think the majority of magic players (at least ones who follow competitive formats) feel the same way. That being said - they seem to be treated both modern and legacy well as far as staying on top of bans and trying to create a fun format. Printing MH basically rotates the format but, it does mean there is so much brewing to be done. I am having fun since MH3, after a 2+ year break myself!

wurm is another target for through the breach as it leaves 3 5/5 trample token, other than pitching it for shoal for life gain

As already said. Breaching worldspine wurm is a really good plan where doing so with autochthon is barely ever enough to win. Came up a few times in this league! And never had an issue where I didn't draw enough to fury when I did get grisel. Also ilharg + worldspine is 21 trample dmg which is often just lethal where again autoch is just not big enough

I think veil of summer is definitely viable - I spoke briefly on why I like shusher in the intro. I like it being a red card to pitch to fury, green for shoal, and it being a "threat" because sometimes a 2/2 gets in for a decent amount of damage in the counterspell heavy matchups. Veil may still be the better option overall. I havent gotten to use it yet!

@jimothytheblue oh the pitching part make sense! Sorry, only saw the first 5min of decktech, and then skipped to gameplay

@@Heytrix also - im not currently running any green mana (I realized at the end of the next video of gameplay! haha) shoals only can be cast for "free" so veil of summer would mean adding some stomping grounds or something. Not impossible - but a change

No worries! @heytrix I realized in the end of my next video (the 3 final matches of the league) that I can't play veil without adding green to the manabase. Although there are green cards in the deck it doesn't currently generate any green mana!

Yeah! Looking at it you are right haha! Managed to stumble with the deck and still perform well! (Rest of the league in another video) thanks :)

Have you been playing affinity with opal?

@@jimothytheblue yes a long Time before the bann in 2020

What list you on now?

@@jimothytheblue I am currently testing for an RC. I'm very inclined to accommodate inkmoth nexus and plaitings

Thanks! I may go ahead and do so before hitting that mark. More a matter of time then anything. What are the top things you would like to see in terms of editing

@@jimothytheblue Awesome, I think the main thing is just cutting out the dead air. For example when your opponent went afk for ages you could just cut that out :)

I 100% enjoy the burning inquiry "spins" it makes me sad that the deck isn't playing Goblin lore like it used too...instead it's just more threats/more effiecient threats. Back in my day we had to play Gurmag angler and flamewake phoenix!

Yes and amen. I thjnk there is just a beauty of basic mountains and lightning bolt winning modern games!

It can counter the trigger yes - but blue belcher usually only plays a couple consign. And having it in place and using the mana in that way is pretty narrow. But yes - it does work. Into the flood maw to bounce a needle is probably best i think?

It is better than pact in any deck where you arent winning that turn 100%!

The sultai build is a separate deck (and I like ulamog in a deck with 4 emperor and playing no ephemerate) i think it offers some interesting lines. Ive only played that build a few times All sort of irrelevant now that we have faithless looting unbanned! Time to brewwwww

@jimothytheblue absolutely lol but esper variant is prolly here to stay. Frog is too good, grixis might be too painful. I snap bought 4 urzas saga lol opal was very unexpected

@@tricky5222 i had gotten urza before! but opals are shooting up FAST! Grixis could be faster though. we shall SEE

100% and if those 2 cards exist after ban there will be a lot of decks trying this (with ritual, or coco, or chord or all 3) and possibly still playing boros or mardu but might see Naya too

Ah yes...if you read the card it explains the card! I just assume it gets everything sometimes and forget it actually has restrictions! Thanks!

Yeah it is tech against surgical, stone brain, etirpate, etc. It's sort of "free" if the game is going to go long (don't bring it in against aggro decks or fast combo) ive also played portable hole/other artifacts in the past but find it best just as a 1 of to insulate vs. Exile. Tezzeret is the real deal. Ive won so many games against blue decks with 3-5 cards in hand and mana up haha. Makes me want to play 2 tezzeret and maybe go down to 3 belcher main!

Not crazy at all - pretty common to play 1 of them usually (island for thoracle builds, mountain for normal belcher) they are only good when you know for sure your opponent is running those cards and more useful in a small meta like local weekly or FNM. Online there are currently far more consign than boseiju or field or knight but definitely worth consideration in the 75 depending on how the meta shifts!

Cut it in this 75 for more flexible cards. Its at its best on a combo turn - not always good. I still like them overall and might need them in the 75 after the ban shake up in 3 days

Yes! I love winning with harbingers and picturing my opponents hand full of consign to memory and force of negation while I cast another Otter or whatever! Back in the og builds we played a couple brazen borrower in the side to add to the plan (and had subtlety main)

@jimothytheblue I played with a few Nimble Obstructionists in Standard some years ago as part of a control/tempo deck. I countered some planeswalker ultimates by announcing "cycle stifle bird wizard", and they occasionally were handy for 3/1 flying beatdown. However, they have never been good sideboard cards because you effectively have to choose whether you want a 3/1 flyer or the effect text. Having something with both the body and the effect is much better for enabling a post-sideboard strategy.

Yeah exactly - the petty theft being very flexible is a big upside for the borrower. Though in blue matchups often just jammed it on turn 3 and beat down.

Countering rumble does make sense in some settings and isn't a play i have been making! The time stamp must be wrong? At 24:04 it's just a turn where I cast fallaji. But I'm sure you are correct! Haha always best to find the misplays and learn from them as much as my "good" play

yes indeed! the ramp decks added blue for the consign/dispute it seems (plus stone brain always makes sense in ugin's lab decks) last game especially was fun and showed off this particular build!

@@jimothytheblue that game in which the opponent had you locked down for several turns and you still won was impressive though

@@k98killer thanks! It shows the resilience of this deck and why it isn't just a "combo" deck. It can really fight through a lot and wins many different ways! My next video is later in this same league - I win with combat damage from Harbingers :)

Thanks for the feedback! as of now I haven't done any editing - it is something I look forward to learning. I've told myself once I hit 500 subs Ill go through the time/effort to start editing vids some (cutting dead space, adding a title screen, and audio tweaking for sure are top goals). I am used to listening with headphones on around 60% and to me it comes through at a nice volume - thats with youtube at 100% though and is just how I usually have things. I will look into turning it up a bit going forward! thanks!

I am still testing the 1 main. You could add 1 sb i suppose if you mostly face blue decks + noncreature combo (ruby storm)

@ gotcha!

Definitely did not consider the interaction with chalice/bauble. I agree that veil does offer upside there for sure! Pact i figured helped us not get blown out or a k command or something - but if you know there is a chalice id definitely pick veil!

Yeah makes sense - though still feels wrong that it fits in the deck with it!

Thanks :)

Thanks for the heads up! I put a link to my most recent list (just posted a couple videos) won't match up perfectly with this video but is close. Can make the adjustments as needed!

So glad it's appreciated! From now on all singing will be dedicated to wes!

I know right?! I chalk it up to being tired. I believe I realize it like...10mins later that I completely missed the line. Big misplay - but part of learning a new deck is making misplays and learning!

haha I doubt it! I only played this one league - being a dad of a couple toddler boys and working full-time I don't really get much opportunity to game. Get some GY hate! or needle effects
