as someone who really only plays commander, this channel has really let me enjoy 1v1 magic in a way I've never been able to before the production is really nice, and they make it really easy to follow along with the commentary
Brilliant format, to play decks with the new cards is absolutely fantastic. Best mtg show on UA-cam hands down, has the potential to grow to be the biggest, too.
@@CardmarketMagic no problem, but if you're already planning to change it, Phoenix is spelled with an 'oe', not an 'eo'. Which sounds wrong, but that's the English language for ya
Wow that was an awful matchup for Phoenix, wonderful video either way, was entertaining to see Thoralf try to find a way out of an impossible spot haha
"It's your money!" In America there are commercials on TV for a service that will look at legal settlements payed out to a person over time (usually in small payments) and refactor it into one lump sum while skimming some off the top for the service. I know this is a very long winded explanation but that line had the EXACT same energy as these commercials and I found it very funny :P
The opening comment about Good luck is part of why I want to try and get the community to change to Play Well Have Fun instead of GLHF. the other part is that good play should be acknowledged regardless of the degree of luck that affects each player
Mannnn, i love this content. This is the only youtube channel where i take time to read the comments and like the video bc you guys are great. Thx for these videos!!!
Its the only tcg match that i absolutly watch, production, comentary, characters and sometimes guest. Very engaging work, hope the company support the team.
"Creature's [sic!] in graveyard" at 16:55 hurts a bit - a minor point though, as this is great content, maybe the greatest MTG content on UA-cam! Thoralf GOAT!
In the first game at 19.50 phoenix player brings back birds after casting saga, Iteration, axe. Phoenix only counts instants and sorceries being cast. Saga is an enchantment and the copy of axe is not cast and therefore doesn't count. That's kinda crucial as the whole deck revolves around that. Although it doesn't matter in the end.
I - You may cast an instant or sorcery spell with mana value 1 or 2 from your hand without paying its mana cost. III - Exile target instant or sorcery card from your graveyard. Copy it. You may cast the copy. Both times the spells are cast.
@@tonysmith9905 I never said the saga does not cast the spells. I said the saga does not count towards 3 instants/sorceries cast, nor does the copy from iteration. Axe was not even in hand and was cast by chapter 3 read ahead. why are you trying to find an error in my comment when the only error is your ability to read and understand what i wrote
Loved watching the funny dynamic between these two! I don't think I'll be adding Founding the Third Path to my phoenix deck, it reminds me a bit of Mission Briefing which was just ok in the deck, and pieces of the puzzle is still needed in some significant number (at least more than 1!). Non instant/sorcery proc can be detrimental in some situations. IMO the best graveyard spell recurrence for phoenix remains Finale of Promise, but even that doesn't see play in paper/mtgo.
Cardmarket should add the option to buy sell cardlists. Like a deck for example :]. Idk if anyone reads this to ne relevant in any way. But nice video big fan of any pioneer modern content ^^.
You can absolutely buy cardlists! 🙂 add a list to your "My Wants", then use the shopping wizard to either find the most efficient, or cheapest way to get your cards.
Love the feature matches! Can never watch enough of them. For the next modern matches I would love to see some more hammer (mono w or UW) or some UW affinity.
I am slightly confused as to why Temporal Trespass was noted as an "important graveyard card." It doesn't seem to have any abilities while in the graveyard such as flashback.
the object of the deck is to delay the opponent by imprinting the spells by isochron and return the land on top of the library counter the spell first then put land on top so the opponet will draw lands only you win by urza's rage of creature damage
I have literally *zero* interest in Constructed "4 of" formats but I still clicked on it and enjoyed it because it's nice to see the Arena Boys together. Every time they're on, their sincere excitement and kind personality make their content very enjoyable(plus they're pretty cute) A couple typos aside, really nice work on the overlay. Clean yet packed with all the relevant info while being completely unobtrusive. By the way, this means Jamin is now the Mythic Champion until Toffel gets the title back, right? That's how that works? 😆
Soooooo. Around 8:40….why’d he say he didn’t draw any lands? Isn’t that hazard a land on other side? I haven’t played much with those double sided spell/land cards
I've been investing on my Izzet Prowess deck for Pioneer, but seeing this makes me think I should have built Rakdos instead. I guess will have to try the new cards from DMU and decide what to do.
Founding the third path looks like straight gas for mill. Turn 2 drop this for glimpse the unthinkable, if you're lucky you got tasha's laughter turn 3, then again turn 4. Worst case you get to cast glimpse again, that alone is 24 cards with a free turn 3 and mana still up on four..
Amazing content as usual. Big fan !! Rule question. You talked about hearse on delve trigger but delve is mana effect so you can’t react on it am I right ?
I talked about responding to the Founding of the Third Path trigger. Before Toffel can cast the spell (but after choosing it as a target for the third chapter), I can take away the delve fodder. You're absolutely right that this would not be possible in response to the delving itself. -Jamin
I'd love to see you guys play a 4 color human deck with some of the new dominaria united cards in it. Humans are by far one of my favorite decks in magic
I felt bad for Thoralf, it seems like there was nothing that he could do. The fact that at one point he drew 6 cards for 3 mana and still lost game 1 (even though it was a very close game) is shocking. Game 2 looked impossible after the hearse hit the board. Is this really that bad of a match up? Is due to the difference in card quality? They have the delve spells but, maybe that's not enough?
We played another game before (off camera) and Toffel smashed me, so I think this just showed very fortunate games for me. Just count the number of Graveyard Trespassers I drew. -Jamin
Although werewolves are awesome in casual formats, they are a little too inconsistent for more competitive modern or pioneer. But maybe you can change that by creating the perfect list 😉
Interesting decks, i wish you'd gone into greasefang with liliana instead of rakdos as i think we'd see more impact. Not sure rakdos draws enough to take advantage of lili either, suppose it feeds kroxa but post sideboard kroxa can be rough.
Deciding on a decklist, I was thinking about Abzan greasfang but I didnt know how to fit it without making the deck extremely clunky. Discarding on turn 3 simply doesn't fit the curve (which is not to say the deck won't run Lili) -Jamin
@@CardmarketMagic fair answer Jamin, i'm not so sure Lili added much to midrange either to be fair, i believe the 4 drop card advanrage planeswalkers like Chandra and Sorin do more than symetrical discard. Feels like a card without a format.
Awesome Content! How about a BW Greasefang with Lilliana? Turn 3 Lilliana, uptick to discard a vehicle, Turn 4 Greasefang, swing with the reanimated vehicle, put it in your hand, and uptick Lilliana to discard it again. Pure. Value. Town.

Totally agree! Never seen as good 1v1 content before!
Thoralf ending each game with just a Hall of Storm Giants I’m hand attempting to bluff is absolutely golden 😂
Thoralf having German lands and calling them in their German name is pretty entertaining ngl
