It’s crazy how good Brian is at Magic. When he is playing random decks he does well, and when he plays the t1 decks he does even better. The amount of trophy leagues lately is insane. Keep up the good work.
I know you've talked in the past about the tension between spoiling the trophy result of a league for consistent viewers vs getting new viewers in the door. I appreciate the small steps you've taken to mitigate this; in fact with this video, I didn't even notice the trophy in the thumbnail or the 5-0 at the end of the title and was able to enjoy this video much more as a result. As someone who watches most of your videos (based on my interest in the deck, not the record), now I can just not look at the thumbnail and still enjoy the ride of not knowing the finishing record. Appreciate the content Bosh!
I have a hard time saying it is directly better than 8 cast. The 2 have a lot of overlapping cards but are completely functionally different decks (even more different if you consider patchwork stompy different than 8 cast). One is an outright dedicated combo deck and the other is an aggressive prison deck. Both are very fast, both struggle against bowmasters, both bad against artifact hate. I would personally give it to 8 cast, although I think both are solid tier 1.5 decks right now that are very viable.
Training for the NYC marathon next year, I have found your vids to be the perfect companion piece to the long hours on the various pieces of gym cardio equipment until Minnesota thaws in spring. Love that the ~2010 MTGTheSource rhetoric lives on in today's world (I assume you had an account there?). Anyway, keep doing what you're doing!
At 38:52, I think, you were 1 blue card away from winning on the spot. All you do is cast force of will twice, which would gain you 9+8 life - 2 life for the forces, which puts you at 53 life!
This deck is what vintage must have felt about 3 years ago. Po storm and whatnot. Of course, un-powered. But stupid power level nonetheless. Happy days. Ready for bed❤
Because aetherflux is just a better card / effect on it's own. The main requirement is to beat the one ring. Outside of drawing the entire deck, reservoir is a better card that gives us much needed life gain and synergizes well with PO. Can also be cast with emry.
Killing bowmasters is super important and there just isnt room for both. Also combos with emry as wincon with engine if reservoir is exiled or needled or something.
Life gain and being able to win from a short PO is more valuable. Ballista only wins when we draw the whole deck, at which point as long as we can beat a one ring trigger, it doesnt matter. Ballista was the win con just before reservoir.
@theatraide8063 it's great. But reservoir is better and both proved to be unnecessary. We have been crushing tempo decks. Cradle control and Sultai Beans are the only decks really giving us trouble right now. Otherwise we lose most often to drawing 30 cards but no Ring.

Let's not forget he trophied with Didgeristill
I think this deserved an A+ performance, a 97 to be exact 😆 and of course 💯 for content. The deck looks good on you😎
I agree 100%

Once again giving thanks for how you do the little things to avoid spoiling the 5-0 for us regulars while still putting it into the algorithm
Tony cooked up a real winner. Better than 8-cast because the combo win sometimes gets them from out of nowhere.
8 cast seems to whiff a lot more than this and closes the game more slowly, agree with you

I haven't had this much fun playing a deck in years. Well done @TonyScapone
"The spice must flow"
I knew I loved this channel for a reason. What a great movie reference. I'm a real dune head
As someone who often talks to Alli, he's gone a bit off the deep end on his latest lists XD
That was really fun to watch and I've subscribed to Tony now too
My man. You killed me with the pod racing comment. That's content.
I love the really tiny "undefeated with" at the top
Candy Trail gets a 5-0 in Legacy. Wild.
I love it when Standard commons manage to put up results in Legacy
That round 5 match was so smooth lol
PO might be my favorite card and I applaud Tony for putting the work in for the card in Legacy. This deck fucking rules.
20:41 opponent knows how to concede with panache lmao
Great deck, amazing player, fantastic league. We’ve been eating good recently, thanks Brian!
Tony Returns! \o/

I was on the source! GL in your marathon, happy to be part of it. :)
What a great deck from Tony Scapone powerful and fun to watch
Bosh partnering with 341 is the worst thing to happen to my wallet in a long time
This comment was a rollercoaster
@@Dreg_sAgree hahaha
13:00 bojuka bog wouldn't work through protection of the one ring, right?
i hereby put forth a motion to rename "aetherflux reservoir", which moving forward shall be called "laserbeam reservoir"
That death shadow secuence lol makes me laugh so hard
@35:45 What card were you referencing? It sounded like you said Force Emerges but I couldn't find anything on scryfall
Four copies of the card Submerge :)
Tony and Bosh, best duo!
I had a feeling this would be a banger deck idea
At 38:52, I think, you were 1 blue card away from winning on the spot. All you do is cast force of will twice, which would gain you 9+8 life - 2 life for the forces, which puts you at 53 life!
Love this deck
This is surprisingly one of the cheaper legacy decks out there in paper. No reserved list cards, makes a huge difference!
Is monolith not RL?
@@andrewpalella9923 your right monolith is reserved list. The mtgo one threw me off
TonyScapone is a good man
This is very exciting
Damn, this deck got HANDS
Modern ban announcement is coming up. What’s yalls top picks? Mine are fury and the one ring.
Urza's powerplant
Fury and Bowmasters.
@@Dreg_sNever gonna happen fam.
Bowmaster, Ring, Fury, Solitude, Grief. All of em.
@@rekennerYeah wouldn't mind a supplemental set ban haha, that would shake the fuck outta modern..
Good lord this things is despicable.
I wanna try it >:)
this deck looks sweet
This deck is what vintage must have felt about 3 years ago. Po storm and whatnot. Of course, un-powered. But stupid power level nonetheless. Happy days. Ready for bed❤
The deck looks sweet. Looks like an absolute nightmare to play in paper though 😂
Why aetherflux over something like thassa’s oracle? 🤔
Because aetherflux is just a better card / effect on it's own. The main requirement is to beat the one ring. Outside of drawing the entire deck, reservoir is a better card that gives us much needed life gain and synergizes well with PO. Can also be cast with emry.
Very impressive. Can anyone think of a matchup that is troublesome but he dodged it?
Storm is probably faster. D and T?
I'm a fan of tony
Storm is one of the best matchups. Cradle Control and BUG are challenging.
Is it time to finally make use of my foil engine…please…I need that crack again
Hi ReddashFive! I noticed you went up to 61 for game two - sometimes you just don't know what you'd prefer to take out and I get that.
Cool deck, any reason no aether spellbomb?
Killing bowmasters is super important and there just isnt room for both. Also combos with emry as wincon with engine if reservoir is exiled or needled or something.
bosh pack smoke em if you got em
Aetherflux as win condition decks rock
I don't unverstand why no Walking ballista?
Life gain and being able to win from a short PO is more valuable. Ballista only wins when we draw the whole deck, at which point as long as we can beat a one ring trigger, it doesnt matter. Ballista was the win con just before reservoir.
@@TonyScapone i thought it would be a nice additional win-con plus something against Delver, Elves and goblins before infinite
@theatraide8063 it's great. But reservoir is better and both proved to be unnecessary. We have been crushing tempo decks. Cradle control and Sultai Beans are the only decks really giving us trouble right now. Otherwise we lose most often to drawing 30 cards but no Ring.
Hello!
Hello!
@@BoshNRoll Dammit now I have the soundtrack of Book of Mormon stuck in my head.
Hi Reddashfive!!
Scony Tapone!
Sweeeeeet.
“The Spice must flow” was that a Dune reference? Respect 👍
Hello reddashfive, which I'm pretty sure is pronounced "red" "dash" "five", which is Luke Skywalker's callsign in Star Wars episode 4.
I’m embarrassed I missed that.
Is this a T1 deck ? Or to much hate that it folds too?
Determination not to blow four figures on a paper legacy deck wavering.
Emperor voice: DO IT
Surely this deck isn't 4 figures? :O
Edit: forgot the one ring is about a bazillion smackeroos
Hi, reddashfive!
Am I crazy or is the quality even on 1080p HD isn't great. Is that a me thing or an everyone thing?
Hi reddashfive
This doesnt seem fair
Comment
hello reddashfive
Legacy and vintage should not allow universes beyond imho...
