@@tylerblalack6684 I still struggle with the lack of interaction with the other player in arena, having only cheesey emotes to communicate, so the banter really does help these paper matches stand out
I mean. I love watching Seth's videos just for his misplays. It doesn't feel like an MTGGoldfish video if there aren't many many misplays. I'm here for the authenticity.
@MTGGoldfish A little later than 2006, but I think the first Delver of Secrets deck would be a good legacy candidate. That card was such a format mainstay for a long time, and now not even all "Delver" decks play Delver.
The folks over at Cardmarket did a "best deck ever" series for modern. The finals of the entire tournament ended up being Eldrazi Winter vs. 12 Post, with 12 Post winning it all.
It was exciting seeing this match-up in Card Market's "Best Modern Deck Ever" series, and I am excited to see it again here! Interested to see how 12-Post will hold up this time without Amulet of Vigor to speed it up and Scapeshift to really cheat all the Locus in play.
the legacy deck hasnt played either in many years- the cards are kind of a trap compared to just playing more ways to find prime time and emrakul or jump ahead on land drops
Card Market has all the decklist of the best modern deck ever in there website. So you can build all the decks yourself and play them against each other! Or you could proxie them all ^^
@@Kristjan0209 yeah I saw that, but it was playing a list from 2012 if I remember right. I mean classic best decks, with modern day cards and/or deck building!
Best MTG content creators!! Love you guys so much! Goals this year....listen to every podcast and every UA-cam video! Keep it going guys the community really loves you!
I just realized the icons in upper left corner on Futuresight frames are the same icons used in MTG Arena card filter for card types. I just now put those two together.
"Kill me from 27 Richard, or face your demise next turn, Emrakul is coming" Danm that was a badass line xD Love you guys for doing these kind of content. I always wanted to see a full match of 12 post vs Eldrazi Winter
Card Market has also done a tournament series of the best modern (and I believe also the best standard) decks of all time, definitely recommend checking them out if you enjoyed these videos
@MTGGoldfish It's debatable. If you hit the Sower, because Richard was empty-handed at that point, while he could, in theory, find a big Eldrizi & do that same turn again, you ultimately save yourself more life by making it so that turn, Richard didn't have any good attacks.
Commenting before watching just because I love that paper play content. This matchup was one of the best games in Cardmarkets best deck in Modern video, so my hype is real^^
On magiccardmarkets best modern card tournament these decks met in the finals but with them 12-post came out on top so I guess the match-up is really close.
This was really fun to see, but I feel like seth's list for 12 post wasn't as powerful as ones I've seen before. The list that took the cardmarket championship for best modern deck of all time seemed to be even faster and more consistent. Eldrazi winter deck was suprisingly disruptive though for being essentially an aggro deck. Also to me the decks seemed very equal. Whoever went first won.
Thank you for posting more paper magic I love this series! Commenting and liking to show my support! Also Seth please re-do some upgraded budget modern decks!
Love seeing both paper gameplay and these dives into broken decks 😮😮 though it is weird that 12-Post wasn't running Amulet b/c the version Cardmarket played in the Best of Modern tournament did run 4 Amulet :O Would you ever show us how you're able to get recordings that look this good, for those who want to also improve their spelltable setup?
Its killing me that Seth keeps putting Glimmerpost into pkay tapped from his hand. Wonder how much it would have changed the games if it was played right.
Fun matchup as always! Would be cool to see other banned decks like Splinter Twin, or Eggs compete against a top modern deck of today (as they have been compared to Nadu - Splinter Twin comboing one turn later than Nadu and Eggs having a similar experience for the opponent). A Dark Depths or Lantern deck would also be cool to see if they'd hold up against the MH3 meta!
Oof. The Glimmerposts entering tapped hurts my heart. Also, game 3 - Richard didn't sacrifice Ghost Quarter. He just tapped it. Sure, Richard won right after, but still...
which is better between cloudpost and any modern deck is answered by looking at the fact that its the deck that still exists in legacy, so if those decks dont its probably a big sign
Eye of Ugin definitely is the card which made eldrazi winter work. Sure eldrazi temple is good, but the mana cheating was what enabled the incredible fast starts that coud kill on turn 3. Almost every other card in the deck feels like it has been crept by other cards which do the same thing but with less restriction to archetype. I think a good point was made that cloudpost has a better matchup against newer decks since almost no deck can beat a turn 5 emrakul. Post's biggest weakness was always dedicated land destruction which is kind of rare, or aggro that can get under it, which this matchup really showed. If richard went second and just didn't draw enough aggro then post won consistently.
Some post video thoughts : 1. Did you guys both forget you played this match in GOAT magic and 12 post absolutely ruined eldrazi winter...? 2. Amulet was played in 12 post in a slightly later version, considered the better version but the defenders of this version might be actually better vs winter. 3. Would be very interesting to see a modern interpretation of those decks, using the core ideas with all avaliable banned or not banned cards in modern.
@@livedandletdie I am fine with them remaking it, it's just that they made a lot of remarks about how the match went that feel like they forgot how it went last time. They can play this every week for all I care, I liked watching it.
Seening those old decks back in action is definitely fun, but as mentioned, it might also be nice to see an updated version of them with all the current cards which would improve the decks
I used to have a locus commander deck where I would make the land into a creature then use copy effects on the creature lands. A cloudpost with a helm of the host on it is a ton of fun.
I'm not convinced that Eldrazi was better than 12 post. Each game was won by who went first. I think the matchup is very close. And I don't know that either decklist was optimal, even from the cardpool of their era. I also would like to see a rematch, maybe with both trying to optimize with current cardpools (plus their banned cards).
cloudpost used amulet after the protour mentioned that drastically increased its speed, but when they last did this (goat magic 7 years ago) when eldrazi winter was banned cloudpost won this handedly, the piloting mistakes here (playing glimmerpost tapped and fetching glimmerposts when life isnt at risk and slowing himself down a turn) just really slowed cloudpost down.
Where are you getting the playlist for the decks? I ask because I remember all 12-post using a set of amulets just before they got banned one month into the format, so I can only imagine this is at the very beginning of the archetype. Also, others have said it, but glimmer post doesnt tap and I think that has a massive effect in most of those games.
You should do a tournament of banned OP decks like this. I saw the Nadu v Hogaak and watching this I'm just left wonder "how would either of those decks do against either of these decks?"
"Generic mana" has only ever been a cost, not a type of mana you can generate. Colorless mana and generic mana costs shared the same symbols for a long time, and required context to know which was which. Because of this, there still seems to be some confusion about the difference. If you want to look at the evolution of how colorless mana was represented, look at various printings of cards like Sol Ring, that generated colorless mana in early sets. First printings spelled it out with no symbol, then the numbered mana symbol was adopted for colorless mana, and finally colorless mana got its own symbol in Oath of the Gatewatch.
I dunno if it's feasible, but I would love to see historical versions of these decks face off alongside "modern" versions of what they would be and see if the match up still ends the same way
Seth got pretty unlucky tbh. Richard drew mimic, endless 1, and a soul land turn 1 every game. I saw modern 12 post vs eldrazi winter when yall did it on MTGO and Seths deck is better.
3:25 eldrazi temple doesn’t add colourless mana, it adds generic mana meaning the cost of thought-knot seer couldn’t be cast from richard at this time.
I’m guessing you don’t know but “generic” mana no longer exists. Anything that adds “generic” mana is all strictly colorless mana. Sol Ring is the perfect example to show it but also Everflowing Chalice also shows it, compare old pictures of those cards with current pictures of them and you’ll see it
12-Post in 2024 would have access to so many tools that didn't even exist when it was banned that I doubt it would be healthy for the format. Scam would probably be its hardest matchup but 12-Post can go the distance and out-grind decks that can't close out a game quick.
I cannot express enough how great these paper gameplay videos are. There is just something special about live gameplay with paper magic.
Glad you like them!
Fully agree. It feels so much better 😊
It's because mtgo is ugly af. It's a good platform for gameplay, but visually ugly
I'm too indoctrinated with arena. I can barely watch mtgo or paper games. Without Seth's commentary I wouldn't have finished the video

I think reimagining old modern decks with 2024 cardpool like Seth said for 12 post is a fantastic idea and I wholeheartedly support it
Seems like could be a super fun series
The play/draw disparity is so amplified at these power levels; so gross that every game was pretty clearly decided by who went first.
2024 standard right now feels the same
i wonder whatd happen if they added a hearthstone coin. would it become broken for on the draw? maybe fast combo decks would become too op

Justice for eldrazi running crazy hot. Turn 1 Mimic into turn 2 Thought-Knot isn’t supposed to happen that often.
There was a camera cut there. Makes me think he didn't actually draw it lol. 4:43

39:05 correct play here is to dismember the oblivion sower in response to the mimic triggers. Sower would be a 0/3 so Mimic's would not become 5/8s
Isn't it better to actually kill something rather than just shrine Mimic for a turn? It is a cool trick though.
@@MTGGoldfishOr to hit a mimic, prime time blocks and kills the smasher but not a mimic with sower's stats.
@MTGGoldfish It's debatable. If you hit the Sower, because Richard was empty-handed at that point, while he could, in theory, find a big Eldrizi & do that same turn again, you ultimately save yourself more life by making it so that turn, Richard didn't have any good attacks.

Dryad Arbor is in the deck to tutor with Green Sun's Zenith as 1 mana ramp.
