happy to be stuck in 2019 with ya pal

The force of negation is such a mood. "This dude is having way too much fun for someone playing in the last table like me on the last round of this tourny..."

Appreciated seeing Tarmogoyf in the graveyard. How the mighty have fallen😢

"Stuck in 2019" is a funny statement. As if it's some sort of forgotten vintage magic era, whilst it's actually 5 years of extreme power creep.

Ah, yes, the classic "pitch the best black creature to have a good black creature turn 1" wombo combo

I remember back in the day, when I was first learning Magic, playing a 2/2 Monk for 3-mana that gained me 2 life. That was pretty cool.

Can you imagine the value?

I would say this makes me furious, but that’s banned

The real reason Dave wanted to crack that Sheoldred :

Then there's me, just chilling, waiting until death shadow is top tier again so I can be a menace.

My deck in 2019 Titan getting khalni garden for evading Liliana edict. My deck in 2024 T1 Urza saga...

I've been playing the same mono red burn list since RETURN TO RAVNICA.

meanwhile I'm over here doing t3 oblivion stone + the one ring ARE YOU HAVING FUN YET

Hey now, that bloodbraid elf was a sick 3 for 1! Now you'll be equal in cards with them for a brief moment before they untap with their one ring and draw 3 more cards!

You forgot the fat stacks of cash required to even get those decks.

I can't imagine the value 😢

Is horizonless modern a thing yet?

Looks like Yugioh level shenanigans

Yeah, sadly we are very close to being Yugioh where by turn two the game is pretty much over.

Fire design's meaning was always to burn every format to the ground.

Straight to modern sets ruined modern.

I like how the only deck left in modern that isn't doing something degenerate is Burn.

These short skits are great!

Meanwhile modern yugioh "Damn, it's turn 1 and I only have 2 cards. Oh well, Normal Summon Ogier, send Gearfried to the grave Activate Museum, pay 1200 LP add Durandal to hand Activate Durandal, effect destroy itself to search Renaud Special Summon Renaud as a tuner, add Gearfried Synchro into Angelica, add second Museum from deck Ogier effect from grave to equip to Angelica Museum effect to special summon Ogier from Spell/Trap Zone Activate second Museum, pay 1200 to add Almace from Deck equip Almace to Ogier banish Durandal to Special Summon Gearfried Almace effect equip Joyeuse to Gearfried Link Ogier and Angelica into Isolde, effect to add Renaud Isolde second effect send Divine Sword, summon Ricardetto from Deck Ricardetto effect, Special Summon Ogier from Grave Synch Ricardetto and Ogier into a second Angelica Banish first Angelica and Renaud from Grave to add Divine Sword to hand Equip Divine Sword to Angelica Angelica effect, send Turpin and banish herself to Special Summon Captain Roland Turpin effect from Grave to Special Summon itself Synchro Turpin and Roland into Charles Captain Roland effect equip to Charles from grave Link off Charles to Charles the Great Charles the Great effect to equip Charles to it from Grave Museum second effect to Special Charles from Spell/Trap zone Divine sword effect from grave to banish Ogier and Ricardetto to add to hand equip Divine Sword to Charles Link off Charles into a second Charles the Great move to End Phase, Angelica comes back First Charles the Great effect to equip Oliver from Deck and Almace from Grave"

Still not as bad as Yu Gi Oh but still I miss the old days when people played 1-3 cards a turn.

It's one thing for the game to change, but is it actually fun anymore??

I felt that outtake on a personal level

It makes me unreasonably happy to see the Hapatra Yawgmoth combo.

I saw a manga about this card game and im pretty interested but as soon as i saw how it actually look like in real life it's confusing 😂 Because in manga they will show you illustration like how many life point left or how the monster look like or even how the effect looks like I kinda like the turbo genius meta in the manga even tho i heard it's not allowed anymore 😔 Btw the manga timeline is in 1998 and on chapter 3 i think it's still on the release of exodus pack

Stuck in 2019…. I feel you bro

Never played modern but I guess people who do want to get as much value out of their deck whether it’s fast or through a combo. Kinda like commander but not as fast

i love playing commander

thats the moment you build a JUND CASCADE EDH DECK and go back to having fun :)

I'm old enough to remember people looking at Serra Angel and being like "oh a 4/4 flyer with vigilance for 5 mana, what great value!"

2019 was the year fires design started?

If that was you on Tuesday I loved your deckbox. I can imagine the value.

At turn 3 I can grow my forces exponentially, and turn 5 all those forces now have 20 power each at least.

Genuine question: Why are two 4/4 rhinos during turn 3 a big deal in Modern? Isn't the format way strong for 2 creatures with no abilities?

I play mono black zombies, no sideboard. I play for fun :)

At least we won't have to deal qith Grief anymore!

COME TO PIONEER YALL THE MANABASE DOESNT COST A KIDNEY AND YOU ACTUALLY USE IT TO CAST YOUR SPELLS!

Cascade is fun

Soon magic the gathering will be almost indistinguishable from yugioh when it comes to game speed.

this is exactly why i believe that modern horizons shouldn't exist

Vintage=Turn 1 wins, total clownage Legacy=Games end by turn 3, lame Modern=Games end by turn 4, joke Standart=Too temporary, have to buy cards that will lose all value Commander=Used to be fun, now its lame as well Only remaining fun format is pauper and pauper commander (i have a pauper deck that can actually kill turn 2, but pst). Power creep killed all the fun i had 17 years ago, when i started playing.

Good ol boomer jund. But seriously, modern has so much interaction that yawgmoth is like a tier 2 combo deck lol. Grief doesnt matter as you can come back from it and rhinos can be removed quickly in the first couple of turns lol.

Magic is slowly turning into Yugioh.

I would try modern again if we had a horizon-less modern format. I felt the format was incredibly fun before the direct injects. Now I haven't touched it in years.

Or me; turn 1, swamp, scheming symmetry, archive trap, surgical extraction, you cant do your combo anymore

The worst part is they had a Play Design team of pros testing MH2 and none of them saw a problem with Fury or Grief. 😂 Even though they knew about the scam strategy they thought it was fine and balanced for modern. Personally I think Solitude is the only one of the cycle that is "necessary" to keep degenerate creature combos in check. All the other elementals are bad for the game.

Bring back 2019!

Yea, it’s called “modern has been actually dogshit for years” It’s basically MH block constructed. Can’t wait for that 3rd MH where they throw shit like wasteland in! Maybe brain storm and a ragavan that lets you steal a card from your opponents sideboard and eat it! The possibilities are limitless!

didnt he had to counter before cascade triggers?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂this is so wrong,also so many dubitable choice😂😂😂😂😂so awesome i love these video

FREE SPLINTER TWIN!

*pain*

Quit the format when Modern Horizons was released. Sad to see powerhouse decks in the past diminished by these special sets' card strategies.

Still easier to follow than modern Yu-Gi-Oh

TBF the reason why the Grief example is unjustifiably unfair is that it can happen on T1 for cost of 2 cards and 1 mana to take 2 of your opponent's cards and leave you with a 3/2 menace attacker from T2 on. It's card trade neutral unless your opponent has a way to interact with you, which has to be 1 or 0 mana depending on if they were on the play or draw; most of the ways you could interact with it only soften the blow rather than stop all of it, and usually end up costing more cards to preserve specific cards you wouldn't want to lose. The synergy is really strong in general, but the reason it's over the line vs most other examples in Modern is because it happens too early to often, which is what makes it so hard to interact with at all and still pretty punishing to the targeted player even if they can do so. It's the reason Flash was too good in Legacy and retractable in Vintage: it just happens too early for too cheap to be fair to expect opponents to be in an "answer this, probably through additional interaction, or lose". When game winning synergies or combos occur, how much they cost and how much it costs to interact with or stop them matters a great deal in determining if they're to unfair to allow in the game. Meanwhile RUG Footfalls and Yawgmoth are strong, but cost more to pull off and/or require board presence that can be interacted with and happen a few turns later when it's effectively the mid game for Modern and it's very reasonable to expect people to be able to interact with threats. The joke at the end is that Bloodbraid, which was at one point too good because of the free value it generated in terms of threats that had to get answered, is irrelevant because even if it cascades into Liliana because it will fold to a Force of Negation.....but it's the exact same synergy as RUG Footfalls and the same Force of Negation leads to the same result of the free cascade spell that would have put the cascade player in a position to win getting binned at the cost of the opponent's spell and 3 mana, or the opponent 2-for-1-ing themselves to stop a must be stopped spell. So, like, the main difference is just it's off a 3 cmc 2/2 cascading creature rather than a 4 cmc 3/2 haste. /shrug

what's the point of the yawgmoth combo. wouldn't he just end up at 1 life and a bunch of 1/1 snakes?

No problem, they banned fury so they can't scam grief anymore 🎉 - salty murktide player

HAAHAHAHAHAH you're missing the Primevil Titan on t2

If turn one gets any more powerful, let's just switch to playing MTG single player. After all you're gonna win in turn one. The winning move is to go play YuGiOh.

Remembering when I built a Boros Humans homebrew deck in 2019, and it was able to hold its own against all the other decks people used at the LGS (except for Jund, and that was mostly by virtue of it being a midrange deck against my aggro deck), and I was so proud of making something that I could call my own. Then after Covid hit in 2020, and then Covid vaccines became widespread enough that I could comfortably return to the LGS in 2021, I learned the hard way that my deck got power-crept into oblivion by MH2. It wasn't fun anymore.

And this is why you play Pioneer instead

I actually feel OK with all of this, you should've included the real villain: Orcish Bowmasters.

I play Enchantress and cast Emrakul every game. I do not have this problem in life.

Technically FoN would hit the rhinos in your example. The better example would have been using violent outburst to EOT them over Shardless

Horizons was the beginning of the end for modern

1+1+1=7

Ppl still play modern?????

Lol fuck it, bring a burn deck.

Modern is rough but its not that hard to play

Thanks, I hate it.

Yugioh is this but worse and there is only one format.

To be fair Scam is not that consistent anymore after the Fury ban. Sometimes you sitll do have plays like that though. Remember though after that Scam play they are now down 3 cards and you are only down 2. If you draw a kill spell or a blocker they are not that far ahead.

Damn, been out of modern since 2019 and I though Jace the mind sculptor and snap caster mage were still relevant. Yeah those elemental evoke cycles really turned magic into yu gi oh solitaire

What an interesting coincidence… All the extremely format breaking broken nonsense cards are Modern Horizons :ooooo God awful sets.

*COUGH COUGH*
