love to see flashback modern matches, been waiting for this one for a minute The way Splinter Twin plays is actually really similar to Temur Electrobalance, you are fighting to keep tempo with the other good cards in the format, and without combo'ing you are falling behind gradually but steadily. It's funny bc I would've twinned on Snap ~12:00 just to have flashback in a pinch, it also plays around the obvious abrupt in his hand. And he topped a twin too! Just goes to show knowing your outs as combo is essential.

It was a great time in modern because Jeskai Control won the pro tour, Infect was scary, Storm sometimes had free wins, and Tron was the bane of all midrange players. The meta was more fun with Deathrite Shaman around to keep fair strategies like Jund powerful. Around this time, Affinity was busted in game 1 with roughly 70% winrate, and then it was close in game 2 and 3.

These were great matches. You should have viewers submit "Jumpstart" stacks of 20 cards with some clear criteria (1 color only, two color sets get 1 extra rare and uncommon for lands only, minimum X creatures, no more that 2 copies of one card, etc.) select from those and have 4 people do a tournament where between matches (not games) they can "sideboard" by swapping one of their packs for a random new one. Either 1 longer (~2 hours with crisp editing?) video or a series of videos for each matchup.
