It's funny hearing cloudpost get a "soft no" when 12 post won cardmarket's best deck in the history of modern bracket (beating eldrazi winter in the finals) effectively without a sideboard

I haven't heard anything past twenty minutes because I keep falling asleep

We live in a strange future, where discovering your art puts people to sleep is a ticket to lasting success.

can't wait for simian spirit guide. hope it's one of the earlier ones

Literally I'm high af it's 4:32 and I'm in my bed munching before sleep this Is perfect

Dread Return has been downshifted to Common and has found success in Pauper in the One Land Spy decks in that format. I could see Return getting an unban with the multitude of graveyard hate spells in Modern as well as the fact that Force of Negation is a response to it.

It's actually the safest way to fall asleep. There's nothing possibly goes wrong.

God, mental misstep was never not one of the dumbest cards ever printed. I have a real soft spot for phexian mana, since I started during the scars block, but it’s a really dangerous mechanic overall, as 2 life really isn’t an equivalent for 1 mana.

I know this is a comp but I still find it funny how Fury gets a mention in the Blazing Shoal segment since it just got banned

Dude I was already asleep when the video started, thank you!

Modern is my jam man. I've been waiting for this one

Had to watch in segments due to time. I'm not a modern player myself but lived this. You gave me good insight on how modern plays. I knew the fury ban reasoning and cards like KCI and mox Opal. What i didn't understand was banning pod (a strategy i live using in EDH).

Living end is actually really good against hypergenesis. When hypergenesis was the best deck living end was created to combat it because living end is really just an instant speed board wipe that gets around indistructable with upside. And even better after your opponent has emptied their hand with big threats.

Thank you for this video your videos are GREAT to listen to while clocked in

rewatching this before i go to bed for the 3rd time. don’t remember a thing about any of the cards

Preordain has actually recently been unbanned from Modern! So 1:00:15 is a bit outdated now unfortunately.

ty manalogs really appreciate your videos and all your effort on your videos they're reaaaaaally good tytyty

Bro it’s 11:00 this came out right when I needed it

Thanks. Awesome Video.

I didnt know you had a mtg channel also! Thank god 😍

For Top I'd combine it's abilities into one, more commital, option that you can't (or don't want to) do every turn, and certainly can't do multiple times per turn. Have it pull three cards off the top of your deck, add SDT to the three, then you put one card into your hand and three back on top of your library in any order. It still doesn't net you any cards since it has to put itself onto your library in order to give you anything but itself, but it effectively costs 2 mana to 'check' now (since you have to play it and activate it every time), and you can't repeat it during the opponents turn. Add entering tapped to slow it down if needed.

This is a really intelligent video - thanks a lot

thank you for this. truly.

Hey! 2nd place Zur here. Awesome video, glad you thought the deck was cool and I'm hoping that more people give old man Zur a chance! I mostly had OoT in as a board clear for emergency situations. I did take it out replacing it with a much needed counterbalance. Also took out Lavinia, honestly more hurt than help but eh, what can you do lol. You live and you learn.

Peak sleepytime content my man 🤝

thank you for the awesome video

For hypergenesis, you could make it so that if you cast it with non suspend methods it gets countered. This is a change that doesn't change what it does but prevents it from being cast through cascade.

I actually fell asleep watching youtube and when i opened the app this morning this was the video 😂

Peak engagement vait thumbnail lol

Keep these long vids coming 🙏🏼

Appreciate this sleeping video. Will enjoy the next 7ish minutes

You know, the turbosleep versions of these videos should have a really excited nerd telling you about his last super plays

I was so confused when i heard hirumareds voice, what an insane crossover

Amazing!!!!🎉

I knew I recognized your voice hahaha the wow content was so good

Ah, that is you, hirumaredx … happy to find you over here in MTG land too :)

Another interesting way to "fix" glimpse is to make it an ETB rather than a cast trigger. "Creatures you control own have 'When this creature enters the battlefield, draw a card' until end of turn." Or you could limit when to play it "You can only play Glimpse of Nature if: your opponent took damage this turn/as your second spell this turn/in your post combat main phase/ while eating a banana" etc. Or give it a good ol Serra Avenger nerf. Additionally, you could increase the mana cost, but... Make it 10 mana, but 9 are phyrexian colorless Make it 1 mana to cast, but you must pay life/mana per draw Must sacrifice a creature to cast Up the cost but give turn 4 options, ie G5+ delve Anywho, back to sleep.

Hypeegenius could be fixd by add ing the following line after the suspend cost but before the main effect. This card has a converted mana cost of 4

25 minute mark is the most replayed part of the video. Goes to show most of us fall asleep by that mark. Neat.

Another thing about once upon a time is that it kinda made decks more consistent by going around the minimum of 60 cards in once deck rule, ofc it does count towards it, but as its free and gives you a selection over what youd draw from it, it felt like playing a 56 card deck instead sometimes, which imo is broken af!

i literally fell asleep to it nice

Wait, why would you use open fire as the comparison to bolt instead of lightning strike?

30:14 artificers mox can only spend the mana on artifact spells and abilities i think that could be alright wouldn’t be able to activate urzas saga

No cap this actually works to fall asleep to

30:35: The biggest problem I've seen with Mox Opal is that it fixes broken mana bases so that players don't need to dedicate card slots to doing that. My proposed change would eliminate (or minimize) the manafix while retaining the properties as shown of a mox. Mox Opal - (0) Legendary Artifact Metalcraft - (⤵): Add (◇), or one mana of any color a non-land artifact you control could produce. Activate this ability only if you control three or more artifacts.

I think it’s important to mention that the elves deck gains an INCREDIBLE amount of resources from its combo, so even if it doesn’t combo kill you, just the card advantage they gain off glimpse gives them a real fair plan AND the option to combo. Both together is very scary. Making misstep be 1 phyrexian + 1 mana absolutely and totally kills the card. Minor misstep exists and that card is not good. 2 phyrexian blue could be an option - removes the “I play misstep to counter my opponents missteps” issue, and 4 life starts to be a more serious cost. I think the best fix to jitte is requiring it to be equipped to activate abilities. Being able to just remove counters to kill something doesn’t make much sense and is a nice nerf Depths also isn’t a close unban afaik. Most modern no banlist tournaments have quite a few depths decks making good finishes. The issue is how much discard you get access to, and how easy it is to assemble the combo alongside it multiple times I think something really interesting about treasure cruise is not just that “blue decks would be too good”, it’s that “decks would warp themselves to splash blue just for treasure cruise”. It just is that good and is universally applicable. Important part of looting in decks that aren’t all in on the graveyard is that the 3 mana mode is AMAZING for later in the game - it turns lands you don’t need into spells in your hand.

My friend puts banned cards into his decks and we all play its honestly crazy

I love OnMath decks. so good

Has Wizards considered limiting the amount of cards able to be played for stuff like the Artifact Lands? Like you're restricted to only 1 of each specific colour of artifact land? That way they're still all "unbanned" but still limited in the amount in a way.

Everything you said about gataxian probe applies to talents in Yu-Gi-Oh right now which is pretty funny

I'm loving this, now seeing the spoilers and leaks of Modern Horizons 3. The reasons some of these are banned are plastered on so many cards coming out soon

Not sure if this is doable in the rules, but as to how to theoretically fix Hypergenesis without ruining the intent of the card: "If this spell was cast from exile while one or more time counters were removed from it this turn, starting with you, etc. etc. etc." That way, unless you are doing some hyper-specific interaction that I can't think of off the top of my head, the only way to cast Hypergenesis is either through its native suspend ability or with something that exiles it with time counters like The Tenth Doctor or Delay. Not even Alaundo the Seer would let you cheat the card with his ability because no time counters are being put onto the card, so you'd never be able to "remove the last time counter" and cast it.

Watching after the fury ban hits different 😅

Mox opal could get a passive ability that says "whenever mox opal becomes tapped, sacrifice an artifact""

I would be interested in seeing them reverse the tops abilities costs, but even then a free order 3 every turn for 1 mana is a card I'm super unsure about. But the amount of fetches in the format makes me think it might still need to be nerfed beyond that since it's never dead. So maybe make it only look at 2 would be interesting.

Lool i didn't even read the title fully cause i was tired and wanted to sleep to this

I would like to see WotC give Modern a restricted list. For example, I think the Mirrodin artifact lands would be fine to use if limited to one per deck.

Imo in a dredge deck or graveyard strat, or storm and izzet phoenix, faithless looting might as well read as draw 4 for 1 red, which is just unfair

3:41 You somehow totally neglect the abundance of exile-based removal in white; easy enough to effectively interact with Dredge. I appreciate this video. Modern is my format.

There are a few problems in your assessments, in my opinion (as someone whose expertise is in Modern because it's the only format I cared about playing) -Twin wasn't about being a turn earlier than Kiki-Jiki. Twin RARELY would go off on turn 4. It was a tempo deck first and foremost. It would run out your resources through tempo and control, and then it would combo. The deck has more tools and toys to play that tempo game in Unholy Heat and Counterspell proper. Twin is a soft maybe. -Pod can't come off the list right now because of cards like Omnath, Siege Rhino (the card that's responsible for it being banned), and Questing Beast. It also has new toys that make it combo faster. Corridor Monitor makes it a HARD no. That makes a whole turn cycle faster. WotC also said that they wanted to create better creatures, and they have. -P Fire is easily one of the worst cards on the banlist as of right now. Even with Fury being banned, x/1 and x/2s aren't very prevalent, and graveyard hate is prevalent in almost every deck in the format, through maindeck or sideboard. It wouldn't be near oppressive. Playing Grove is not free in a majority of decks either, where it's hit by various Moons, and it's a liability in life gain, where having to use two or more in a turn negatively offsets any upside. -Jitte is absolutely not a problematic card anymore. Legacy D&T stopped playing it because it's really not worth playing anymore. Just because it sway combat doesn't automatically mean it'll ruin. Removal has gotten a lot better, and even with Fury gone, it doesn't impact things as much. No deck in the format wants a Jitte, unless it's like Hammer for the sideboard. Even coming in off of a Stoneforge, it's a 4 mana investment. The card just isn't up to snuff for Modern anymore. -KCI was banned not just for rules complexity and time, but also in how hard it was to interact with the card, since Pithing Needle and Sorcerous Spyglass can't interact, and even Split Second doesn't deal with it (Krosan Grip) because Mana Abilities are free from the Split Second ability restrictions. It became a whole format of playing around the deck, and things like Surgical Extraction and even Extirpate couldn't stop it because of triggers. I agree with a majority of the statements made, but some of these needed to be addressed or added.

With the mycosynth lattice, I also see leonin abunas making it way too powerful, contributing to its ban as well.

Misstep could say; U; you may cast this w/out paying its mana cost if you control a basic island. That would fix a lot about what’s broken about it. No turn zero counters and could only play it in blue heavy decks and make them play some fair lands in their mana bases to run the card. Do I get the job wizards?? Wizards??

another issue with glimpse is that its a cast trigger, not an etb like beck//call and rite of harmony. So a counterspell can fold a sequence It can't with glimpse, that's the bigger issue here

for suspend cards: if wiz ruled that their suspend cost counted as their CMC, then they would be less broken.

KEEP EM COMMIN

Hey now, Rite of Harmony is seeing play in Selesnya Enchantment decks in Standard! Don't be a hater 😢

literally fell asleep to this

Why not just make chrome mox etc count as a land drop for that turn?

What if the artifact lands had a "only 2 maybe be played"

Glimps would be fine we don't have cradel and removal is a lot stronger than it uses to be

Gitaxian Probe is literally just Pot of Greed.

13:12 last card on todays video? but it only just started. you must have 2 hours worth of stuff to say about that 1 card

Right after I first started playing Magic, before I knew any strategy, I thought Treasure Cruise and Dig Through Time were awful. Boy, how wrong I was.

I feel like glimpse decks would just be destroyed by scam and beans

Jo are you theDuelLog with the same Kind of ygo videos?

So Fury and Up the Beanstalk have been banned, and Preordain was unbanned - idk if three cards are enough to make a video out of, but it might be worth doing.

I disagree with the notion that Dark Depths cannot be unbanned. There are a lot of ways to deal with Dark Depths currently present in the format. Channel Boseiju, targeting the Dark Depths. Cast Solitude Petty Theft Prismatic Ending the token Proactively play Blood Moon/Magus of the Moon Channel Otawara, targeting the Marit Lage token Even One Ring can give you a whole turn. A 20/20 isn't much scarier than anything else when One Ring loops are just making combat irrelevant. I'm not saying that the deck would be weak. It still is close. But the means of dealing with the deck are already all over the format.

I don't know when you recorded this but preordain was unbanned in modern

Still holding out hope for twin

Combat isn’t used in most formats. All I use is creature combat decks

❤ 15:40

Ily

I literally fall asleep tonight and i dont even understand anything in magic, guess it worked

In the video, ( 1:15:16) you said valakut would me far too much.

Glimpse of Nature could ask for G for every card already drawn with that effect during the current turn, so that it become increasingly costly (not including infinite kana combos, of course)

If we unbanned every single one of the cards in this video, what would the best deck look like in modern?

Mental Misstep Fix would make the card unplayable. We already have Minor Misstep and the card doesn`t see any play, which mental misstep would be a worser edition most of the time

Preordain was unbanned this year

Imagine a limited list

Me, just getting ideas for Commander decks...

Welp...I guess WOTC disagreed with you on Ponder...

I feel like Im tripping and Ive heard your voice in Destiny videos before

Should have waited a week to make this video. We have a guaranteed Modern Banning update in 5 days. 😅

No mizzixs mastery?

Why was Astrolabe banned? Because it's one mana. One mana is SO much better than two mana

You could have added that now preordain has been unbanned

Wait dredge is good in modern?

This man's voice should be reading books on audible. Pleasant tone while also having the ability to read the script with relative cognition. Fr make an audible style of reading books. Like reading a play outloud. The video is nice but you can easily listen without watching. Edit** this is asmr listening. Rare ability my guy

Murder is a great card

Combine mox opal and chrome mox, then it will be balanced 😃
