I added 3 Pinnacle Monk to my lands to help feed the Phoenix's Bestow cost, just in case. It's 5cmc plus any of the 1 drops is perfect for paying the cost.
"We regret having to reban faithless looting. We knew it wouldn't be broken anymore, but unfortunately we didn't foresee that it would make several archetypes overly consistent. Just to reiterate, the power level of Looting is OK for Modern now, but the consistency it offers made it too ubiquitous and therefore we have decided to reinstate the ban"
I know it’s a meme post, but if looting was as played as the one ring, it’s still the best time line. Looting doesn’t give you protection (for 4 turns in a row, because you draw 4 rings). It’s just an enabler
Isn't there already a fixed version of looting? Like a legacy card for U mana you do the same thing but no flashback. I can't believe they never tried making that one legal instead, or printing a slightly different version.
I think the choice to keep ox is questionable, I'd rather have bolt in those slots so that you have some interaction (primarily for Bowmasters, that card seems to have given you a lot of trouble) Ox is just really slow for how fast the deck wants to go and it's not a good card game 2 because it really sucks against graveyard hate. I'd rather have bolt to finish the opponent off (it's also another card type for your fomo) I've seen some hollowvine lists go down to 3 phoenix because having multiples kinda sucks, so that you can run 3 bolt. It also frees up some sideboard slots so you don't have to run 4 unholy heat. If you're worried about haste you can go up to 3 arenas.
I used to play asmo but the biggest problem is she takes up too much deckspace, especially since the new additions the deck is really crammed for room and cookbook is a really underwhelming card. You can do so much better. The deck has plenty of big threats and discard outlets, spike's list does lack removal but I think it's much better to run bolt instead of ox. After that theres no real reason to run asmo
They hate you because you spoke the truth. Only so long that generating 14 power on T2, then dying on T3 because artifacts drew and played 14 spells can be fun. Without appropriate counterplay (which, who knows) y'all are in for a pretty fucked T2 format.

Does the life loss catch up with you ever?

@skykur it's probably worse though because it's an enabler for broadly linear combo decks versus midrange/control/fair decks
@@iamdadodo
There were a few combo decks that played it as well

Dear Wotc, please print faithful rummaging;
Discard 2, draw 2
Thank you for your time
It's way too good for dredge.
Spike's mind is like a Modern GTP Library

some number of gut shots could be cute for bowmasters
I used to play a list with asmo instead of the new cards (phoenix, fomo). Could that still work with the new cards?

Sure 😊
Holy crank, we are so back
"I'M A GOOD MAN DON'T SPELL PIERCE ME" had me rolling
Rita Repulsa meme. It's time to conquer modern!
Looks like a budget version of vintage Bazaar of Baghdad deck one of the two flavors
Is Anje's Ravager playable in this decklist?
Not legal in modern
This is the first time in years I see Vengevine being good in modern. How fun is that 😊😊😊😊😊
ive been rocking vexing devil over flamebale adept low cost etb and if it stays on the board you can arena of glory it..
Ive played a similar build and i took ox out because i felt it didnt play well with phoienx and fomo.
I think you need some number as an option for longer games
Any shot you occasionally do some standard again?
Now that this is going on? I'd expect IFF it was to test for an event.
Take a shot every time spike says " we are so back "
16:00 why goblin lore and not play fomo to get guaranteed value?
I think people don't respect the power of Faithless Looting because too many people force it into decks that can't use it properly.
does anyone remember the days infect played twisted image to kill 0/X's That is what i was thinking about when I saw thing in the ice
Love you
Please let my pet deck be good. My friend and I tried archelight phoenix instead of vengevine and that deck was Hella silly
darkblast will greatly help against bowmaster
14:20 bar
At this rate I'm expecting cloud post to be unbanned sometime next year
Spike being positive about looksmaxxing and singing stay with me? this truly is the best timeline
what
Fun today sure, my guess is that the whining starts by mid to late January and WOTC will get bullied into more bans/unbans....
You sure seem fun to be around..
That's a tomorrow issue. Just have fun nerd
