Great run man! Absorbing your content has made me a much better deck builder and player so I'm glad I was able to give something back. I do think the full 4 Impulse makes your draws a bit smoother, but like you said the late game of this deck is undeniable.
I can see impulse smoothing things out, but I don't think it'll be easy to find room for both it and AK, and I was very impressed by the latter in these matches.
I think this is a nice deck, but its very different from regular replenish, and I'm not really sure that its sort of a needed improvement over the deck. I think the idea that replenish loses to control is just not true at all, at least in my experience. I never really understood playing counterspells in a replenish deck, when I only really want to use them to protect my combo, and Orim's Chant/Abeyance/Mana short are cards that do so much more for less, including possibly at end step or blanking cards like furnace and crypt. Control's lack of pressure means you have a very good game just simply adding one of these cards to your combo, again at least in my experience having played this deck locally for about 6mo. Final thought, the "fair" plan of combo replenish to just cast tide and take away your lands even w/o seal is so strong (obvi much stronger with seal, and I do play 2 stifle in my list to boost the fair tide/wave plan and also protect my greedy mana base. Great video as always and thank you for the content!
I think this deck is more of an improvement on UW control than an improvement on Replenish. It's a different take on both decks, but still very strong. I felt a lot more comfortable playing against Meddling Mages with this deck than I have whenever I have played Replenish in this channel, which sure is something to take into account. But as you said, I'm not sold on it being better than normal Replenish overall, at least in the current meta.
Dust Bowl is spectacular in control decks, and it actually helped me win one of the games. It also made my hand super clunky alongside Reflecting Pool in other, so you win some, you lose some.
This version actually seems better against Sligh/Gobs than regular version because it doesn't take damage from its lands and it has 5 Hydroblasts. Elves seems a lot worse for this deck, though
@@issmoul931 I am well aware. But I am talking about the average draw, which I think with this deck will work better. It's impossible to argue that regular Replenish's nut draw will always be better.
@@fpawluszmtg yeye am just talking about aggro match up, vs goblin just a wasteland/port and it's game over you will never reach 4 lands before you die, same for UG madness MU This list is better against combo/control
@@issmoul931 A list with 4 StP and 5 Hydroblasts and a higher land count is more likely to on average not just die to a Lackey + Port start from Goblins than regular Replenish imo, but that's just me.

Nice idea, but I don't think taking a busted combo deck and turning it into a fair deck is the way to go. Normal Replenish has a card which is banned in Legacy and two lands which would be banned in Modern. Taking out its most powerful cards just makes a weaker version of the deck. But AK is something worth considering in normal Replenish with Frantic Search and Intuition.
They are different decks. Regular Replenish loses to control, and this deck looks like it would absolutely demolish it. Also the game I played against GAT was only close cause I was in this version, I would have 100% lost without being able to do anything had I been on regular Replenish. Saying this is "worse" in the abstract is just not true, but we can definitely have a conversation about whether the upsides and downsides are worth it.
@@fpawluszmtg All premodern tier 1-2 decks are based on cards which are either banned now in legacy or were banned in the past in legacy or extended (except Burn but the deck was a type 1.5 staple back then). Removing broken cards like frantic search and ancient tomb takes the teeth off the deck. I believe that all in all this version loses more than it gains. Normal Replenish on its best draws can be faster than Goblins or Burn and it is also consistent. I watched Pablo tear every tier 1 deck apart. This version seems as you admitted a bit clunky.
@@benoitmandelbrot4670 Original Replenish is also clunky, and again, I'm not saying this is better than Replenish. Just saying that they are different decks that play out differently, and based on the matchups I faced here I wouldn't have been able to take down the event if I were playing regular Replenish.
Except this deck makes the mana better, though... But yeah, you're less all-in in the combo and instead you get to play a slower, more interactive game.
Regular Replenish has a greater roof, and also a lower floor (worse mana, limited interaction, infinite card disadvantage). They play out like different decks, with different upsides and downsides.
@@fpawluszmtg but the classic deck does more efficiently what it is supposed to do. And looks more unstoppable and fast for no control matchups. In the other hand the new version could be slightly better against control decks but not that much right? The card advantage is not specially great and looks like will never win a counter war.... So idk. The combo itself looks so powerful that what you put to combine looks good anyway XD
@@souiukotoka That's kind of the point. They're different decks, and those differences make give them different matchup spreads. It's very likely regular Replenish is just better overall, it's just very cool that this version exists and arguments can be made for it.
Deck looks good. Plus its much more cheaper without the Sol Lands 😂
This is not a small upside, to be honest!

great one Fran! Love it
Gracias! Me pareció que este te iba a gustar!
Great content! Love the deck! Do you have a link to the original list from Andy?
It was somewhere in the Discord. It was this - Intuition, - AK, + Impulse and 2 Forbid.

Agree that seems clunky but when stablished seems difficult to tear it down.
For sure, and the power may be so high that it's worth dealing with the clunkiness.
@@fpawluszmtg seems super soft to Elves by the way, Elves will eat this iteration for breakfast.
@@carlosorellana_1986 No arguments here, this version seems a lot worse against Elves than regular Replenish.
Sad that at the end you didn't speak about your opinion about the sideboard as you usually do
Cause the sideboard was ok, I didn't think there was much to say since I didn't use half the cards since I didn't face red decks
Before watching I'm assuming the dustbowls do nothing good
Dust Bowl is wicked, always love to play with it

Changes it up so much. Tending to prefer a hybrid build. With leaks in order not to weaken the overall matches versus the meta. Always like some mage.
Breakout news: Meddling Mage is good! It's an interesting new version for sure!
This is a great metagame version, in a meta full of aggro/gobs/sligh this version is probably weak.
Congrats for the deck builder
This version actually seems better against Sligh/Gobs than regular version because it doesn't take damage from its lands and it has 5 Hydroblasts. Elves seems a lot worse for this deck, though

TLDR: let’s take a great combo deck and cut a bunch of the combo pieces, and make the mana worse.
Except this deck makes the mana better, though... But yeah, you're less all-in in the combo and instead you get to play a slower, more interactive game.
Not bad but I think the classic version is stronger.
P.S.: bring back Goblins content 😂
