I think it's cool you found an underplayed (nigh unused) card for Modern and made a playable deck. This is why I love watching your videos and deck brewing.
My suggestions: Run Apostle's Blessing mainboard as a way to save your creatures from removal, replace Shriekhorn with Expedition Map as a way to fetch your Treasure Vaults or Urza's Legacys, whilst giving instant speed buffing to Slag Fiend, AND being repeatable land drops with Emry.
Wow this is the first time I’ve seen anyone play slag fiend (aside from myself). If you’re looking for a replacement for shriekhorn I’d suggest arcbound ravager, it gets artifacts in the grave for slag fiend and lets you turn dead artifacts into power.
Did that once at an FNM and a player excused me of cheating because he hadn't seen the card before and I had to inform him that it was infact modern legal
Yeah, I'm really surprised at how good it did. While reading the cards during the intro I expected maybe one win, two with some luck. This was a nice surprise.
The first rare I ever received was a slag fiend from a dollar store 100 bulk pack when I was just starting magic, it's been in a dozen decks but currently is without a home. Because of this video I shall be slotting it in somewhere, thanks for the nostalgia and great content!
It making a treasure so you can immediately play a bolt or something else you stole after isn't great either and it would have been good without it(just change it so you can pay type of mana to cast cards exiled with it instead).
Just proof that these people are only picking up the "strong" decks without knowing how to pilot them or even understanding the game they're playing. They just want to play solitaire for some free wins and anything that makes them think tends to make them falter. I died laughing when he spent 3 mana, 4 life, and 2 cards in hand to... "destroy" one opposing land.
I am absolutely ashamed I have never heard of slag fiend before today, this is truly a momentous occasion. Thank you for enlightening me with an amazing deck
I remember seeing a deck years ago on MTGO that used Slag Fiend and Salvage Titan in a sacrifice base artifact aggro list that reminded me of the shadow decks running around at the time. I thought the deck was sweet at the time but I didn't think it had enough pieces to really take off. Now with these new MH2 pieces I think it could finally take off the ground.
I love the concept of this deck. Take a card that is seeing 0 play, and make it work in a deck. Honestly it's a great idea for a series, I hope I see more from you like this. You're an awesome deck builder.
One of my favorite things about your channel is that you play with cards that I’ve never heard of before. There are a couple cards from this channel that I need to put into my EDH deck still
I’m just imagining a scenario in which Donald trump plays magic in my head. “So anyway this loser ragavan, such a loser can’t even survive spikefield hazard. I like people that survive small removal spells ya know.”
@@guffe5813 oppo: oh hes playing one of those "hartifact decks" *opens sideboard* [ Inception music booms as 15 cards that say destroy artifact come into the MB ]
What a sick take on the deck! It's a bummer that hammertime is so good, there's so much incidental hate out there for this because of it. Maybe someday a few other decks will pop to the top and this deck can get to shine a little more.
So many cool interactions with this deck, especially where that one guy tried to dismember then ping with walking ballista but slag fiend kept living! That was so cool!
this was a sick build! just wish that last game's opponent didn't run 40 artifact hate cards lol. I feel like spellskite would be a cool addition at least for sideboard but even that wouldn't have done that much against that last guy cause of the shatterstorm
Buddy, I don't think you know this, but you make me so happy when you do this, because I love strange cards that can make a fringe deck for, thanks for always making me smile, and making great videos.
Sisay is one of my commander dream cards. The concept seems very powerful, but I haven’t figured out a shell yet. Regardless, thanks for showing off Slag Fiend, getting some love after 10 years lmao
This was a great series. Loved the intro and the gameplay was great. Keep up the great work and the deck boxes look amazing !!! Catch ya on the flippity.
I think this is the video of yours I laughed at the most. My favorite part was when the Tron playerr got got by Slag Fiend twice in the same turn, first by not noticing the interaction with your land, then by not knowing how state-based actions worked with Walking Ballista. Always sweet to stick it to Tron.
Deck looks fun. The last deck you played against is the new jund deck. I have that and urza's kitchen already built for when paper magic comes back. Either way great affinity deck.
I honestly always thought there should be a place fot slag fiend, and you're always innovating and coming up with unique styled decks so is perfect you put something together like this
I remember seeing Slag Fiend years ago when I was building Daretti artifacts in EDH and thinking it was so busted until I actually tried using it. I'm glad that Daddy managed to do what I couldn't.
I require a deck box that will make everyone at FNM tremble at the thoughts of what aids infested jank will be inside... Thank you for making me a winner of your giveaway. Best content creator ever!
At one point when you said shriekhorn, I swear I thought you said streetcorn. Keep up the sweet decks and funny content. Here's to winning tsome prizes 🤞
My first modern deck was a tempered steel affinity deck with slag fiend and 4 vandalblast in the sideboard because one of my friends also played an affinity deck. I traded a life counter wheel with Jace on it for my first Arcbound Ravager, which at the time I didn't realize was an expensive card. Good times.
the innovation, the beauty, the grace, the humility. truly the greatest modern voice
Indeed
He may have the greatest mind of his generation
Yes.
Daddy is one of the smartest deck builders of our time, not only that, if he does punt, he always recovers somehow.
I wonder how he does it. He keeps coming up with amazing decks!
I think it's cool you found an underplayed (nigh unused) card for Modern and made a playable deck. This is why I love watching your videos and deck brewing.
"despite being from forgotten realms is actually playable" love that
I lost it when he said that
Ya I didn't have any interest in majority of the cards in the set
@@DEPRYTHEDOCTOR same, I just liked the Beholder for the eyes and tentacles because reasons
Lol
I'm still shocked they made it an artifact land lol
My suggestions: Run Apostle's Blessing mainboard as a way to save your creatures from removal, replace Shriekhorn with Expedition Map as a way to fetch your Treasure Vaults or Urza's Legacys, whilst giving instant speed buffing to Slag Fiend, AND being repeatable land drops with Emry.
"whoever has the slag fiend wins" were not words i expected to hear on modern
With daddy aids, nothing is ever quite as it seems
This is the way of Modern 2021
Love dat card!!!
With AIDS, you need to expect the unexpected
maybe that playset i traded for when i first started playing will actually be worth more than the cardboard it’s printed on now, thank you Daddy
Finally the Affinity deck I have been waiting for, I knew Daddy could do it!
Every time I come back your decks are still fresh as hell! Never thought I'd see slag fiend be used this efficiently.
his decks are always amazing
Jokes on us he actually has 40 slag fiends and is trying to make them $20 cards
Wow this is the first time I’ve seen anyone play slag fiend (aside from myself). If you’re looking for a replacement for shriekhorn I’d suggest arcbound ravager, it gets artifacts in the grave for slag fiend and lets you turn dead artifacts into power.
It doesn’t have Hardened Scales, but it does cause hardened pants!
I Approve, give this man an award.
I think this is my favorite comment
@@chriscampbell6922 why do you think transformer boss has scales in his pants? Are they a snake scientest?
very 😎 cool joke. i laugh so often!
Dummy thicc comment!
This is why I love this channel finds a card that actually sees no play and boom an entire competitive deck built around it
I love it when you find an obscure card from the past and proceeded to bully people with it 🤣
Did that once at an FNM and a player excused me of cheating because he hadn't seen the card before and I had to inform him that it was infact modern legal
@@taylorpack3504 I never got accused of cheating, but it was definitely fun using the cards that didn't get any love.
@@CampinSam I love when they have to pick up the card to read it bc they have no idea what it does
@@taylorpack3504 oh yeah, that's a classic. I get that most in commander lol
@@taylorpack3504 i've been playing a thrasta deck and they always pause when i play it on turn too, and it's 50/50 whether or not they leave the game
Only thing the deck lost to was itself, seems pretty good
Slagfiend just can't operate in these Ragavan meta where they'll use the best card in the game against you :(
with all the stealing it's poetic that the player's name was Donald_Trump
@@auberry8613 yeah, when you’re giving your opponent access to a win con the deck always has that chance to just die to itself
Yeah, I'm really surprised at how good it did. While reading the cards during the intro I expected maybe one win, two with some luck. This was a nice surprise.
I'm just really surprised someone else was playing slag fiend... And destroy all artifacts actually synergized with it
love whenever you introduce cards to the modern format no one has tried before
I've been waiting for the day my 10 playsets of slag fiend would be useful.
Just wait a couple of months, and sell them for a lot
Buy more
@@Higley1234 none left for cheap. 16 minutes into video all the bulk (tcgplayer) was sold out. From sub .20 to .50

The monkey is just OP , produces a treasure, would probably be good in affinity as well.
Maybe artifact monkey would be more balanced. Itd die to artifact hate after all
Monkey is so busted. Daddy was right the wizards are smoking crack. It'd probably be good in any deck that has red in it.
Whacks, draws a card and makes lotus petals for 1 mana... seems good
Yea monkey is just too much. It’s just way too pushed
It making a treasure so you can immediately play a bolt or something else you stole after isn't great either and it would have been good without it(just change it so you can pay type of mana to cast cards exiled with it instead).
I'm surprised it's taken this long to see Slag Fiend show up in Modern! Glad to have you on board, Ostrich.
Slag fiend surviving twice in that tron game was just awesome 👌
It killed all of my last brain cell. Not just the men, but the women and children too.
As a tron player, I am disappointed in them
Truly a sight to see and nothing less
It was beauty, it was grace, Daddy's opponent got Slagged all of their face

Man, I never even heard of Slag Fiend and now that I see it, it would actually fit well in one of my modern decks O_O Great video man ^_^
Dude this episode is hilarious, between “they will pay” and “anotha one” I was dying
ENGAGEMENT!
I was just about to comment this lol
I'm loving the memes rebranded to the voice of AIDS
Also the cutoff at the end got me
Wait the video length is 13:37 that's why we got cut off
Right?

"Despite being from Forgotten Realms, is actually playable."
This is how daddy earns my upvotes
And mine as well
"opponent takes it, what a loser"
also, his laughter is just pure gold
I was thinking the same thing😂
Com on, man! The set is amazing. As long as you love D&D... and hate Magic.
eheheh :)
I've been trying to make slag fiend work for so long! Glad to see someone else finally trying it out!
Daddy bringing much needed love to underrated cards & that last match, although a lost, was one epic showdown with the Donald
We can always count on father aids to shake up the meta
I’m just imagining a scenario in which Donald trump plays magic in my head. “So anyway this loser ragavan, such a loser can’t even survive spikefield hazard. I like people that survive small removal spells ya know.”
he made rakdos great again
Can you imagine trying to do politics in commander with Donald Trump in your pod? Christ almighty
@@aglaisio978
I don't know why I found this so funny but my sides are in orbit.
I really appreciate how you continue to find unused cards and you make a competitive deck with them
The “can’t be regenerated” is basically alsways just ignored on every card it’s on but that’s the first time I’ve seen it be relevant!
I always forget snuff out has that text, until i had to kill some mire boas against pauper mono green stompy
What a bonkers creation. That was awesome to see in action! Quality content as always Mr. Aids.
Not gonna lie, last match was pretty wild despite what I'm used to expecting from modern!
I think its wild how many different artifact hate there are in modern
@@drmntpibb and how many the fucking opponent brought in
@@guffe5813 oppo: oh hes playing one of those "hartifact decks" *opens sideboard*
[ Inception music booms as 15 cards that say destroy artifact come into the MB ]
Last match was mad unfortunate for father aids but quite the spectacle nonetheless
All the artifact hate was crazzzy
I use to play affinity back in 2016 in modern format. This creation brings hope that the deck may be strong again soon! Love the slagfiend!
What a sick take on the deck! It's a bummer that hammertime is so good, there's so much incidental hate out there for this because of it. Maybe someday a few other decks will pop to the top and this deck can get to shine a little more.
Yeah, hammertime’s monopoly on artifact decks kinda sucks rn. Hopefully it won’t last much longer
It did seem like the opponent exclusively had artifact hate in the sideboard tho, those shatterstorms were just brutal
So many cool interactions with this deck, especially where that one guy tried to dismember then ping with walking ballista but slag fiend kept living! That was so cool!
I really love how you go out of your way to use underrated cards! Stay awesome.
Agreed
Yeah this is one of the more fun looking modern decks that I've seen in a while, keep hitting us with that spice!
this was a sick build! just wish that last game's opponent didn't run 40 artifact hate cards lol. I feel like spellskite would be a cool addition at least for sideboard but even that wouldn't have done that much against that last guy cause of the shatterstorm
Love your creativity with reformulating and reshaping modern decks. Always a good day when you upload.

"And they kill Thot Monitor, now the Thots will be out of control"
The kind of quality one liners I keep coming back here for.
Dont suck up, you know hes gonna give me that splatter painted deck box.
@@drmntpibb What?
I'm actually really pleased and impressed how you took a weird card and made people afraid of it. Well done aye
Honestly this deck was incredibly interesting and the matchups were intense as all get out. Really had to use the power of magic aids this time.
His power, like the amount of creatures this deck spits out, is boundless
Scrolled for too long and gave up trying to find a reference to the "We know its a celebrity because the picture is there" joke. Gold.
glad to see daddy bringing some much needed love to old New Phyrexian cards in his own special needs way
Wow, slag fiend performed way better than I would have expected it to. Very cool!
Love the deck, hope to see a refimed list
🚓🚨🚓wee woo wee woo🚨🚓🚨
Grammar police here 🚔
Pull over, you've got to pay a fime
@@drmntpibb lol
Yeah same, the deck definitely has potential
I didn't realize slag fiend counts each graveyard!
I also always love when you paint the deck box like the right one in the video!
This video reminded me that the artifact lands can be blown up with anti-artifact spells.
Note: the tapped artifact lands only got destroyed because blood moon made them drop the indestructibility clause.
I've been eyeing that card for that whole decade every couple months or years I love it
This could be a cool series putting “sun optimal cards” in well established decks
Sisay is one of my commander dream cards. The concept seems very powerful, but I haven’t figured out a shell yet. Regardless, thanks for showing off Slag Fiend, getting some love after 10 years lmao
Damn i was hopping for a 5-0 win. Deck looks sweet tho.
It prolly tastes metallic, not sweet. Also like what ever slag tastes like.. Fire maybe?
Deck looks mega sweet
This was a great series. Loved the intro and the gameplay was great. Keep up the great work and the deck boxes look amazing !!! Catch ya on the flippity.
I absolutely love your deck concepts. Bomat courier might work as a replacement for shriekhorn, or maybe implement of combustion, not sure though.
I feel like pyrite spellbomb might be better if not equivalent. I like Bombat courier that's spice
I really enjoy you building viable decks around obscure cards that I've never even seen before like slag fiend. Keep up the great content!
That guy paying 4 life and sacrificing his creature for absolutely nothing was hilarious to witness.
Loving the brew! They sustain me during these times of Ragavan and Saga. Keep it up!
"Who brings this much artifact hate?"
He who shall not be named.
wow, didn't expect to see slag fiend in an affinity deck, surprised no one else thought of that

I love seeing affinity cards in modern alongside artifact lands
Slag fiend is definitely under rated, thanks for birthing this masterpiece
Came across this video on Reddit by accident. This was epic and hilarious. Time to subscribe.
Seeing a card like Slag Fiend doing numbers in Modern is so surreal yet inspiring
Ok I think I am going to build this as my first modern deck. I anxiously await the next rendition of this deck!!!!
I am so so happy people are making slag fiend work, I have felt like it had potential for so long
OMG ty for playing a more updated and agressive deck of my slagg daddy deck.!!!!
Deck looks fun. The last deck you played against is the new jund deck. I have that and urza's kitchen already built for when paper magic comes back. Either way great affinity deck.
best videos for magic the gathering, huge fan, love the fast video game play, always excited to see new videos!
still the best non fluff youtuber for magic keeps the game play moving!
Seeing you take an unused card and make an amazing deck around it was so cool to watch

Thanks for the slightly longer video. It’s nice to be heard!
I gotta say, i am always impressed at the decks you end up creating. Much bigger brain than i
Also 10:56, your reaction to all the artifact hate was so funny for some reason.
Can't believe Slag Fiend never had a home, good thing you helped the poor little orphan.

Fantastic, I've been waiting for someone to break slag fiend for years!
My first modern deck was a tempered steel affinity deck with slag fiend and 4 vandalblast in the sideboard because one of my friends also played an affinity deck. I traded a life counter wheel with Jace on it for my first Arcbound Ravager, which at the time I didn't realize was an expensive card. Good times.

Deck performed much better than I expected. Nice.
That is a surprisingly awesome brew, love it! Affinity is annoying but seeing a card that unloved shine is killer.
Honestly, just a fan of all the snide comments and the odd deck quirks. Surprised I wasn't subscribed before this.
Glad to see Slag Fiend get some love. I saw it's potential but daddy delivered with some juicy gameplay 🤤
