What was the best Modern deck ever? We made our community vote for one deck to represent each year since 2011, played four rounds of Swiss, and now we bring you each match of the Top 8. Andrea is playing Carl and either Oko or Emrakul could be knocked out of the tournament.

The funny thing is, at the very first modern pro tour, everyone knew this was the deck to beat and prepared for it. There was only one BreachPost that made top8. But Wizards banned it anyway because it was pretty clear to anyone this deck is busted. Especially it made any form of control totally unplayable, the whole meta was combo decks and some aggro.

@@malte54 In terms of power level, 12 Post is definitely up there with the very best. Emrakul is genuinely unbeatable. The only issue with the deck is consistency, which is why it's not played more. Other combos like Breakfast and Doomsday are easier and faster, but they can fold to enough interaction. 12 Post will always win games that go long.

Called it. 12 Post just plays magic on a different scale. At the end of the day, the Urza Oko deck was a fair deck, that didn't really "break" the game. Cloudpost fundamentally breaks the usual 1 mana per land rule, and you cast the most powerful creatures in all of magic, held together with GSZ and Eye of Ugin.

@DrewskiTheLegend 10 ай бұрын

Yeah I had a feeling that the Oko voters either don’t know Legacy or don’t remember the beginning of Modern and the work required to keep those decks under control. It’s like Tron but better, yet it’s true successor is Titan Bloom, and the fact that Amulet Titan is the 3rd gen iteration of that deck/combo and it’s still a high performing deck in modern is crazy.
