hope your dad recovers well. this was a very fun league, something about big mana decks always makes me a little giddy to see them go off, like you shouldn't just be able to do that
Round 2 game 3, at the end, you could have played glimmerpost, gone to 13, and on their turn play dismember, and go to 2, surviving the ring trigger at 1 Then maybe play another ring and go from there
In round 5 your opponent couldn't immediately use the surgical extracation after they got it back with mystic sanctuary and ponder because they were tapped out and the vexing bauble was still in play.
In the very end of round 2 you could have played Glimmerpost to go to 13, then dismembered the Dreadnaught to save 1 life and gain another turn. Not likely you find much to get out of the spot at 1 life, but another draw might’ve.
Phil, all my love and support to you and your family. Hopefully your father makes a swift and full recovery. Best wishes and thanks for the awesome content!
One way to help against blood moon effects could be replacing exploration with grim monolith. It’s not as good with the one ring, but it also ramps hard and it gives you access to colorless mana even through moon.
I dunno if Sorceress Spyglass might be better than Disruptor Flute, I guess the Flute having flash is pretty relevant. But Spyglass lets you look at their hand, and then name a card.
looks like this new eldrazi decks need some answer to big tempo threats like dreadnaught or reanimated trolls etc. Dismember was a let down in your latest eldrazi videos
I really think the basic waste is needed since you can tutor for it some amount of time, moon effects are just lights out ao much of the time its worth cutting maybe a trenchpost for it
I wonder if it’d be worth cramming a wastes into the manabase? We currently have no outs to a resolved blood moon other than very high mv spells, at which point we’re probably dead already. Though maybe cutting the seers as you suggested would make that no longer a notable problem?
Given how soft the deck is to Wasteland and moon effects, maybe 2 Wastes and some number of pithing needles are worth considering? Other than that excellent games!
and maybe even some sort of life from the loam or way to get lands from the graveyard. sideboard options but if thats the route he takes then he should also play wastelands.of.his own as well. it does tap for colorless as well so it wouldn't hurt the gameplan
I think abrupt decay is approaching very playable in the current format answering basically every problem mh3 card in legacy from vexing bauble to Necro dominance and even opposing psychic frogs
23:57 Couldn't you Dismember (net saving 1 life) and then follow up with a The One Ring to live at 1 ? You probably still aren't winning from there but it at least gives you another draw.
good luck with your fathers health thinking cut vesuva cut down to 1 trenchpost run ancient tombs maybe 2 wastes and more green stuff probably. haven't thought about it too hard
Anyone else look at this list and think Trinisphere? Could probably cut bauble for it, flute at 3 might be too bad to justify but I imagine most lists can’t do anything while 3 ball is out.
This deck seemed really strong, but not quite fast or resilient enough. Nexus+Tower seems good enough to see regular play imo. Hopefully we’ll see a more polished version over time.
@@michaelwhite4695 My question was because I see people playing the Aeon’s Torn (first printed like 14 years ago in Rise of the Eldrazi) and once in awhile they get cute with Emrakul the Promised End (or it’s played when the aforementioned card isn’t part of the card pool like in pioneer) but I’ve yet to see anyone play Emrakul the World Anew. There are two versions of Ulamog but only the old Emrakul. The new one would be a bit more playable with madness assuming 3 sol lands or 2 urza’s towers and the new lands that automatically makes it produce 3 colorless mana as soon as turn 2. You’d of course need to find a way to discard it so it’s more like turn 4 at the earliest on the hard cast without something like the one ring and having 8 or more cards in hand to discard to hand size and madness in Emrakul. It lacks the extra abilities like taking an extra turn, exiling half of your opponent’s deck, or annihilator but madness 6 take all of your opponents creatures and they have to wait until the next turn to remove it unless they already have Karakas in play and then what? Give you 12 life and exile all of their own creatures too? I can see how OG Emrakul is just stronger a lot of the time (uncounterable, extra turn, protection from colored spells on every turn) but is the new emrakul not even worth including or hasn’t Phil gotten to it yet?
best wishes for your father's recovery!
also, Urza's Tower in the 20-post manabase is cursed and I love that technology for colorless stompy
You finally beat a nadu deck. Thank you for giving us all hope
Opponent: I can do this all day.
Phil: You can do this for 3 minutes.
SAVAGE

I'm a simple woman. I see Cloudpost, I click on Cloudpost .
I see Cloudpost. I tap Cloudpost for 4 mana.
Round 2 game 3, at the end, you could have played glimmerpost, gone to 13, and on their turn play dismember, and go to 2, surviving the ring trigger at 1
Then maybe play another ring and go from there
thought the same haha
In round 5 your opponent couldn't immediately use the surgical extracation after they got it back with mystic sanctuary and ponder because they were tapped out and the vexing bauble was still in play.
on 47:40 you could mill them with the trench post to not give them the draw 3 :)
Much love for you and your fam! I hope your father feels better soon!

Well, considering you managed to beat Nadu I think this is the best deck in the format
I really love the big mana decks in legacy, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how the archetype evolves.

Just realised that this deck has no RL cards in and ignoring the ring is probably
15:31 History was made; the first time Phil took down a Nadu deck!
I dunno if Sorceress Spyglass might be better than Disruptor Flute, I guess the Flute having flash is pretty relevant. But Spyglass lets you look at their hand, and then name a card.
Best wishes for your dad!

Dismember hits troll, not disagreeing with your thought though.
This deck has been streamlined and is absolutely wonderful
I really think the basic waste is needed since you can tutor for it some amount of time, moon effects are just lights out ao much of the time its worth cutting maybe a trenchpost for it
I'm so sorry you have to come to Illinois, Phil. I wouldn't wish that on anyone :(
Best wishes for your father. I hope all goes well with him

the eldrazi support is the most fun thing that came out of this set.
I wonder if something like mind stone is ever worth in the sideboard for moon.
Or maybe a colorless producing dork is better tbh
Wishing your dad a quick recovery .. i have a cousin in burr ridge 😊
Any considerations for Once Upon a Time for this deck?

Plus it being uncounterable is very relevant too
Add Glaring Fleshrakers would solve your colorless mana problem.
Bustin' makes me feel good!~
(IDK either, I wanted to comment for the algorithm at the start, lest I forget.)
GL for your dad
Do you think that running a small urza's saga package over tower makes sense?
Maybe add a couple of wastes and map?
I need to call 911 for that round 3. That red deck ran you over. More seriously, I wish your father a fast recovery.
Looked fun to me. Flute seems meh to me, but I can’t even read Uro
a wasteland for mycospawn to find would be suuper sick
Finally, Tron-less Tron
23:57 Couldn't you Dismember (net saving 1 life) and then follow up with a The One Ring to live at 1 ? You probably still aren't winning from there but it at least gives you another draw.
has anyone tried a springheart nantuko with nadu deck yet?
good luck with your fathers health

Vexing bauble is next bannable can as it found its home in 99% of decks you play recently :D

Hope your dad recovers fast
What about Ugin, the Ineffable?
Is the new Emrakul just unplayable?
If it's worth taking with discard then it's playable

I did High School in Princeton Illinois
You should consider a psychedelic trip
Turn 4, game 1, match 1: you could have played forest, mycospawn, then devourer
THEY FLY NOW??????
Planar Nexus + Urza's Tower is genius. Turn 2 Tron right off the bat!
You're on to something
Hope your dad is doing well! Let the spaghetti hit the wall
oops all urza's towers was great in round 1 game 2
round 2 you could of dismemberd and save 1 life to survive !!!!
This deck is surprisingly cheap! No reserved lost cards makes legacy playable.
Please, someone submit a 2014 legacy deck in honor of those “2014 is only 3 months away” memes.
Let’s see how it does against MH3.
This definitely needs at least a waste.
