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. Jamin is playing Thoralf and either Death's Shadow or Eye of Ugin could be knocked out of the tournament.

Nope on Eldrazi, nope on Hogaak Both decks are fully unbanned and have even more cards they can use in Legacy and they see zero play. Modern Horizons 2 kills them dead. If the swiss hadn't put the the 2020 decks together I would be betting they take all 4 spots.

@@zym6687In order to be uncounterable, you need to use the mode "add one mana of any color". Colorless is not a color, and can thus not be produced in that mode. You can still use cavern to create a colorless mana, but that would not grant uncounterable.

@DamonXWind 9 ай бұрын

@ellisgriffin668 Obviously this video isn't about competitive level play, but in competition, with prizing on the line, there is a big difference between bluffs, dick moves, angle shooting, and cheating Tapping a land that can legally cast your spell without saying "tap for colorless, would you like to counter this" is on the far left side of that spectrum.

Eye is way better than ancient tomb. Tomb is 2 mana, if you have an eye on the board and seven eligible cards in your hand that is 14 mana. Yeah it’s an extreme case but since it’s a passive effect it is easy for the eye to essentially generate more than 2 mana.

Calling it now, it's gonna be Hogaak Summer and Eldrazi Winter in the finals. (Which we've definitely never seen anywhere on the internet before lol). Maybe RNGesus will have other ideas or one of the newer decks will clutch things out thanks to power creep, but those two decks continue to show moderate success in *_Legacy_* after their bannings with only moderate changes. They really were in a league of their own.
