I think it's kinda cool that painter just has this natural incidental advantage against the eldrazi. Props to your round 2 opponent for metagaming in that direction.

Yeah, thats my thoughts as well. Phil seemed a little salty over it, especially given how often he Bloodmoons to kill Urza's saga or vexing baubles to kill force of will. Having cards that are good against the format but particularly crushing against specific cards isnt a bug, its a feature.

Is eldrazi supposed to be good vs grief reanimate. I feel like if were metagaming its doing something more aggresively targeting the grief deck. The interaction is really cool though.

At 12:30 ish, you thought that the modes of Kozilek’s Command needing to target a player was a little weird. It is, but it’s done for a reason. The reason is that if it was templated as just “you scry and draw”, and you chose the “kill target creature” and “scry and draw” modes, and then the opponent made the targeted creature hexproof or sacrificed it, you wouldn’t get the draw, since the spell had no valid targets! It’s a big feels-bad moment and also quite unintuitive for newer players, so most multichoice modal spells these days either have targets on all modes or none of them.

I love this deck. Call me crazy but with Cavern, I think Bauble should be sideboard. I also think two Yavimaya is right. It turns Eye of Ugin into a 3 mana land and fixes Ancient Tomb in the mirror. You also play Mox Diamond to discard the second one if you draw both.

Phil, just a heads up. On mobile/tablet/tv the title shows as "WE BUSTED OUT THE GOOD DECK TODAY! Eldrazi Aggro (Modern". I personally almost skipped it because I thought it was a modern video instead of legacy; I don't know if anyone else did the same but I figured I'd let you know for viewer count regardless.

Hey Phil, long time watcher, infrequent commentor. I dont know why someone would slot in glaring fleshraker in a fair shell. It has 3 out of the 4 things you need to be a completely busted combo piece. It makes the mana, makes creatures and deals damage when it does it. If you can draw you should win the turn he comes down. If I had money I'd send a deck list to brew GlaringFleshRaker(GFR) with Beck // Call. Like for real, GFR being played fair is just a little less silly then playing say.... Doomsday in a fair shell.
@SweetManaT
Ай бұрын
It’s actually good in all situations. Technically in a fair/aggro deck, not only does it allow multiple spells per turn, but the incidental damage can help in board stalls as well. It makes Kozileks Command a burn spell too. This list is a bit to midrange without the high end payoffs imo. It either needs to be heavy aggro or a midrange machine. This is trying for both.

@@azir64 From those cards Grief seems like the only one that goes against the standards of the game. It puts so many constraints in how your deck has to be built, you need to include graveyard control and creature removal, on top of having lands for mana and not being able to mulligan or risk playing the game with a 4 card hand vs a turn 1 3/2 menace. Add the Frog and the Troll it just makes for super boring playthrough, even for the person running the deck it goes on autopilot. And so far I could see a ban on Nadu too, it should have been an only on your turn trigger. Having 8 triggers between the 2 cards, before your opponent untaps is just too much...

i think the scary playpatern is wrong. if you attack into the frog then they have to spend cards in hand while defending not receiving that extra card, and once the cards in the hand are spend as a resource, your lifetotal keeps the game going for a little longer, and your next damage based removal has more potential in actually killing the frog
