Been looking forward to this all morning! Just picked up the hardened scales deck and love it so far. Really enjoying seeing it go through the gauntlet! Thanks so much guys!
You should try playing a modern format where you “unban” four or five of the most fair cards on the ban list and play whatever you would call that format
Matthew Sussman they do that from time to time, before they were unbanned, they did some 'Jace' control decks and 'bloodbraid' jund and stuff like that
@@zachgeraets910 I understand but in the wrap up he was stating that his kill spells were useless against welding jar. Not stating that collective brutality could fight through it.
The play at 15:38 Brad makes doesn't work as the Balista deals no combat damage after being regenerated. Hollow One has no damage marked and so the Balista can't ping it twice to kill it.
Incorrect Alec. It still deals combat damage unless it would actually have died before combat damage is dealt. Using the jar doesn't actually do the tap and removing from combat, that's only when it would next die during the turn. Which was during combat damage, where it also dealt 2 combat damage to the Hollow One.

You 2 have been gold all week, thanks for the videos guys. Love the series.
Something really needs to be done about the volume of the intro music vs. the microphone volume
Love the ending. Three hollow ones with an ancient grudge.

Todd and Brad look like they are having so much fun all the time. They are great for this series and my favorite duo.
I was howling at the end. That cackle was golden.
"You don't have that hand" omg best thing I've ever seen on VS series!
That last bit of the video was just pure gold! :D
How about fighting some of the best standard decks from different iterations of the format
I've always wanted to see this
btw todd, always cycle wraith BEFORE casting looting. in case you draw ghast of flamewake
Play the vintage vengevine survival hollow one deck! Please!

There's not many fair cards left on the banlist, lol
When todd pushed the inkmoth I was like : Do it !!!! and he got another one I was like AGAIN!!!!!!
Collective brutality's kill mode can't be regenerated.
that's why he sacked the modular creature

Can someone tell me what is the fourth land Brad played in game 1?
It's a Pendelhaven
It's Phyrexia's Core
lol dat extra match at the end doe
28:50 "You were playing... SLOW." lmao
Hardened Scales Affinity makes me want to play modern honestly
@@MeldrickCz I know, it really sucks
Top 6 of a format?
Fresh new idea: play yugioh, but do it wrong the entire time.
At 15:14 he said it's only 1 additional counter for Hardened Scales, not one for each scale, but still put 3 counters on Ballista. I'm confused.
Was that when there were 2 hardened scales on the battlefield?
@@gmfireater1 Yes.
Oops, I mean 14:49
hardened scales stacks, he did it right
He said each hardened scales adds one it doesn't double the counters. They stack, but each still only adds one more counter
UW is all I wanna see!
12:30 Shouldn't the walking ballista enter the battlefield with two +1/+1 counters ?
He used one to kill the lavamancer
Y no win counter?
who's cards do they use?
Star City Games's cards
hahaah love you brad 23:40
BRAD SMASH!
"the deck looks good" it just won a grand prix on the 26th, looks good isn't the phrase anymore..
Todd laugh made my day.
Im just here to watch Hollow One win ..... :D
Let's run Splinter twin through the gauntlet next week ;)
17:44 If someone would have said that to me I would have said "No that was with your mom last night".
Play different standard formats

Regenerated creatures still do combat damage
Incorrect Alec. It still deals combat damage unless it would actually have died before combat damage is dealt. Using the jar doesn't actually do the tap and removing from combat, that's only when it would next die during the turn. Which was during combat damage, where it also dealt 2 combat damage to the Hollow One.
