2019/08/02 - Modern: Can Karn Still Compete in Modern?

good morning everybody we're gonna have a shorter ish stream today and we're basically gonna be playing some carne amulet I just keep getting questions about what does this mean for Karen amulets we off car now is was was car and just me etcetera etcetera and the reality is that while I do agree that carne is not the most powerful shell for amulet in the current modern metagame I do think that the deck is still quite powerful so I decided to play it through a league I continue testing filled up the dead you will see it here honestly I don't think I can make room for it in this sideboard and that is the lone reason why it's in the main deck last time what we did is we played only one explosives in the main and we were playing the coalition relic what I wanted to try this time was to do the opposite so to play field as the twenty-ninth land and then just have access to the second engineer explosives which is a very good card to have access to another alternative would be to take out the ballista from the main deck and play the coalition really instead so there's a couple of combinations to to try out but but yeah that's that's what we're gonna we're gonna try out right now and we're gonna see whether it's it's playable I guess I mean it kind of always is playable it's just like a matter of its does it win or not but yeah so we're gonna see how we fare against the modern metagame I'm particularly interested in try to figure out whether we can hang against against Kobach right like is basically the question that everybody is asking and that is that is why trinket mage I think it's the best shell right now because I think that it has the best plan against Oh God so we find a green source preferably a bounce land we find a balance and this is a turn theory Titan on the play or it turned three carne with basically inland okay I'm gonna keep this this hand is definitely on the greedy side right like there's there's no questions there but the fact that we are nice not convenient we found our green source we found our green source when I play Scout and as I was saying the best thing that we can draw here is about land now any bounce on do it no no it needs to be a green bounce in order for us to cast tighten but any bounce line will help us cast carne steering's of course of course also counts bingo so they should be pretty much game now this should be pretty much game over never didn't have it I am a powerful magician indeed that's clearly shown right here and so we're just going to swing we can't transmit four-pack so we can what we can do is we already have another tighten I mean it just we are so absolutely far ahead here I guess that we can we can pack for a Susa and cast carne I don't know what that achieves and then I'm gonna be stuck paying for my packed yeah I don't I don't think it's worth it so we're simply going to just like attack with our Titans and get Simic and t-west and that's it how we say helium youlet I strongly recommend you check out the vault from yesterday if you wanna if you wanna I mean I I can I can spoil it for you if you want but I think it's definitely worth watching yeah if you want me to spoil it for you I can do that and yeah I don't think my opponent can do anything realistically like acid moss double bolt on the prime time second prime time kills them it's there's nothing they can do absolutely nothing for them to do come on opponent let's move on to the next game like you are you're actually like I think that scape shift is actually advantaged imposed board games yeah like I have no idea where they're showing me acid boss like they literally saw that I bounce this no need to worry to show them carne I have your dad right here my friends there we go okay so Quinn escape shift we want these we want these filled out bog out ballista out explosives out yep easy side working i saw the what what I want to know your opinion oh oh if you saw the vote already I think that it's it's a worse version than the trinket match version objectively speaking if your goal is to win I think it's extremely fun and if your goal is to have fun I think it's it's more competitive than it means then it meets the eye like III don't know if it's possible that you can just like win an event with with that deck okay so this one is actually hard do I want to expose amulet the thing is if I draw so sighs so good to have the amulet in play because then I'm gonna I'm gonna want to hold the negate for the next turn I think I'm going to steering's here see what we find gemstone man yeah so this is my second loose or so I'm gonna find I'm gonna get that control you have bills that you've been showing like oh thank you Incubus is there any way I can put myself to you go into Vegas I mean they are two different things like I have like the donation goal which is one saying okay I'm get furnish and then I have the dick go into GP Vegas thing oh wow that was a mistake I should I shouldn't have played this now this I know I'm I'm down a negated my opponents show me the acid mode I was talking and I I was caught of piloting I should not have played this because it doesn't even help me get a tight mix turn so yeah this this was plane this was a mistake yeah so there are the except rate things you know that's that's the way that I'm that I'm doing it but um I mean we're we're getting close we're like halfway through more than halfway through actually that's cool but yeah sorry if you are going to GOP Vegas though and I managed to get there that would be awesome if definitely come say hi yep very punished by by my careless play very very punished by my careless play yeah this is this is superb rule I'm buying my first version of amulet and I want to do the right thing what Burgin police it's it's just a matter of what do you want to do if you want to have fun you can get the second version if you want like most personally I enjoy the current version the most of all of them I do think that the trinket nation that trinket mage version is the best and now it's like Hume is definitely at least competitive the most competitive is definitely a trinket mage version okay so I'm I'm talking a little bit here I have different options I can just hold up negate I can play a Susan hold up negate the issue with this is that it takes the bounce line from my hand the good thing is if I draw any bounce and it represents a Titan next turn which I suspect that my problem might have their own Titan so I think I'm gonna go for that and unfortunately I cannot hold up negate and actually leave the bouncing in hand so yeah just like my my play from blaster and just really really punished me the good thing is that we know that they've like the four cars in the bottom of a deck are not bounce lands otherwise we would have picked that with the Buddhist earrings that we cast so yeah we're definitely negating this okay it's this will tell you the same thing I tell everyone it's weak about me it's just so much like cars like hundred yeah exactly yeah it's just like you once you get the shell you just move around with everything else you know it's gonna be escape shift go for the bigger alright so we are put dead now I'm going to preemptively play this the explosives on two because like this explosives it's only Chiellini damping sphere so I might as well do that and set that up for if my point happens to draw a lamp it's here but I think that like we are not a good place we're not even spot we don't have trinket match so you just named giant here I mean my opponent keeps whippin that's that's our out I guess for opponent to continue drawing blanks which they apparently are alright so we're gonna get to tighten the problem is if my opponent does find their prime son then we're gonna be in a lot of trouble so here we're gonna make a cool play right here I'm trying to set up to transmit to a pact of negation externus working what we're going to do is I still have one land drop left so now with the bounce land I am going to bounce Davis souvent gonna replay it as a semi growth chamber and then bounce the Tulare West and what this does is it tells me it basically helps me achieve that blue without needing to use my gemstone line this is the turn opponent if they find a threat here to kill me that will be that will be game for them but if they don't then I am going to lock it up that negate came in real clutching their counter and there's someone respect reclamation sage you got it that is not a threat so three to transmit one two three four five six so we can we can tighten as well play secretin I don't see why not well now it makes it even easier so do I have lethal six that's going to be 14 so it's not lethal so instead of hasting this Titan I am just going to transmute for practical negation and this should lock it up what is ye onto for a damn piece fear it's really the only reason why like I just don't have a better card right so the explosives is in there solely because of the dumping sphere and what I'm gonna do here is I'm gonna do I have the gemstone mine already so I'm gonna get double to Larry West and the reason to do this is so I can if my opponent does play a tamping sphere you don't need to I don't need to pact it but at this point this this game should be locked up this game should be very much locked up 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 so they have 8 land so I would die to escape shift so there's no real reason for me to to get this however scape shift might kill both of my dude so let's do this actually and this sets up it's this it's only one of my Titans need to be lethal next Ernest if my opponent finds a way to answer one of them the other ones gonna kill them anyway alright wanna know so let's start soli the start that was very lucky that my opponent only had a single thread and that thread was answerable for negate I ended up not being punished by my by my play I I do believe that it was a mistake like the my sequencing was bad but they didn't end up mattering because they just whipped four million turns and here this is a keep we are just missing just missing an amulet or another bounce land including the tsuba chancellor of the tangle we are super screwed we're probably gonna die on turn 1 maybe I don't think we can realistically beat this deck game 1 yeah it's just oh well yeah again the most annoying and frustrating part about this deck is that I can't really like I can't really scoop that's what the do what I know is to be the most like I my opponent can wave I am effectively I'm dead I can't beat this but there's like a very very very slight chance that day with or that I you know that I just beat them somehow and because of that well they love summer main deck that's aggressive maybe they really have trouble oh maybe it's because like one of their Wars my job is blue-eyed or something so they have like mainly hate against it or whatever interesting yeah there is I mean this this matchup is I mean just this deck it's just bullcrap like I really don't understand how they allow this to exist well effectively did on turn 1 can we win we just cannot be the aggressor Brent because that is that is the worst part even like goriias vengeance when they left they are left with nothing right I guess they can they're left with like a bunch of cards so they can so they can they can win on the next turn or something but here we actually like got nothing you don't even know what I'm bringing in Rex age 4 maybe they have something that I want to kill what could the I don't think Rex a Stephanie does anything actually so I guess I live in one carne I don't think that I want to bring both of this in because con fetching this is gonna be too slow so I'm just living Cardenas just the threat that can maybe win the game they stick so dumb though I am I'm I am kind of just over it at this point just like okay sure just take my money because that's basically what it feels like it's just like somebody is just just taking my lunch money or whatever alright just getting bullied here if I had a blue source I would keep this okay I'll keep this one but I'm in the salmon respect and if my opponent has to turn one again that is that's fine I just like they got me but I don't think I can take a turn off because it wouldn't be taking a turn off it would be taking two turns off and I that's just that's just too much I can't escape my apparent way too much time I do think this is a keep a nice thing what of that opponent kept seven all right am i dad it feels like I'm this okay you got one more turn we untapped is that is that is something all right here we go edge of autumn she wondered for fewer lands to deliver for basically I put into the outflow tab in shuffle your library okay so they're missing Lion drops good to know I guess would you seem to play or said my gemstone past the turn probably gonna go for evil yeah I mean I can only do my best to just pass the grocery brand that's that's all I got so if they can go off the response I'm going to die and if they can't I am probably gonna win but that is as virtus I have one piece of the direction that's it I have exactly one piece of interaction there he goes so at this point I just hands off and it's just a matter of f6 and do you have oh they add it back to negate Janel Gekko sure seems fair so this is like this is probably that's it right they get to draw 14 here more were the chances that they wave at this point just basically non-existent I guess they have like they need to do some stuff because right now they have 13 cards left so if if their wing con is in the bottom six cards that is my out and and again this is why this is why I can't really can see it because it's it's not deterministic right there's like a very very very small chance that I have that they just with like if they have it if their wing condition which i think is love man it's in the bottom six cards then i might have a shot because they can't like I can't like draw into it because they would deck themselves yeah yeah so I'm definitely I need to pass the grease around because it only gives them like seven cards to draw right the way that I did it my opponent has to find the answer beat fact of negation be it I don't know like another combo and they needed to find the answer in the top seven and they also needed to to find the answer in the top seven or and they need to not draw the girls around so those are my outs because if they actually draw the other girls around then I then I win right because that means they can't go off but yeah so they did this this matchup is just like a waste of both feet both persons time cuz it's just like I'm just here I'm not having a good time I am just you know just I'm just dying to this which I can't really do anything about on turn like turns one and turn three through interaction in game in Game two but I can't really consider like I would I would much rather be a deck that it's just deterministic the first time around and then when you know that you're dead you just concede and you you just get to move on with your life but now I'm just waiting for my opponent to go like look at this my opponent's been using already almost eight minutes of their clock and like my I did I basically had no decisions whatsoever it's just like do I pass this and that's all the decisions that I made what do when do I pass this that was those were the only decisions that I made so I don't know I just read and and you see what I'm saying and you see what I'm saying like they whiffed this is so upsetting I'm so upset that I just won this game I this is so upsetting like the fact that I just won this game irritates me so watch I hate this deck so much I hate this deck alright next anything I want to change and this is what I'm saying it's just I can't concede to this day because it's just when sometimes I know it's so dumb it's so so dumb like I just have to sit through all of this my opponent just used eight minutes of their of their time to lose the game they just went through a bunch of things and they just lost how is this fun how is how is this a thing that it's allowed to exist so frustrating and this is just like a terrible hand that has one piece of interaction for a game for like turn two so if I don't die on turns one and two I might have a shot but if I do then I'm going to die and I can't really moving in this cuz like the only better thing the only better thing that I can draw is exactly gemstone line and path to exile plus like six other cards so this is like the second best I can do and I need to keep this because I like this is just like the kind of magic that this incentivizes you to play it's so stupid like if I get killed here I just get killed here right like but it's just yeah and look I mean I am NOT gonna get to cast a spell here this is the only reason I mean I don't wanna say the only this is the main reason to run spell peers over negate like if if I had had spell peers here instead of negate then I might have had a better shot at in this game but it's the same thing I'm just gonna have six and I'm just gonna hang out here while my opponent does their thing for another you know five to seven minutes or something and I'm just gonna be sitting here hoping they whip because maybe they do cuz they just did so somehow this is what's happening also they packed it so they might die to their pod trigger if they don't win here this this is just this is just ridiculous I not understand how how this is allowed to exist in the format but hey stone formations take his van right stone for mystic is still banned so clearly clearly too overpowered for this for this game for this format but well how are you guys doing how are you guys doing this fine Friday evening we're gonna have a shorter stream today it's gonna be just this league because I need to set some stuff up for in order to go play a play shop so what we're going to do here is my opponent is gonna need to have double Simeon spirit guide and a metamorphose and I'm just gonna try to negate the metamorphose that is that is my out that is what I have again they whipped and I'm just sitting here hoping they with I'm going for this you tomorrow I still let's say we do carnal trinkets I play trinkets vicious I think it's the best it's the best version of amulet right now then this that I stream on Tuesday it got it got published today in the indie deck dumps so you can check it out over there but I think me alone Chris O'Brien would be the alternate but I like I can't beat the gristle daddy like the risk that is gonna kill me so here's when they are going to someone are SPECT what could they be packed him for here what could they be packing for here that they can do at instance speed huh I think it's better for me to let this resolved I'll talk Tom warm okay they cycle and now they loose well that was in that Jeff magic we just played that was a match of magic we just played so yeah so the reason why I countered the way I counted a metamorphose there is because without mana I don't think they can win at instant speed right so maybe they were playing lightning storm who knows yeah this that is just done like something from that deck needs to go honestly it might just be grizzle brand we might just need to be grizzle Brandon but in a format without forces will you you can't just have that running around it's it's too much like it's as you can see we just play three non games like we we just made basically close to no decisions we made Co decisions Game one we made one decision Game two and then my opponent with after drawing fifty nine cards and then and they died and then Game three we made one decision and then my opponent died to their own pack trigger just like what is that this what this is though this is a moving in and this is a keep and I think here I'm gonna bottom seconds steering's okay most of six and it's nice that we have basically basically we have tied in mana which is of course very good for us because we're only missing a Titan here really might put a mole to six this guy is probably dead yeah so it's probably blue red Phoenix in interesting I feel like I want to get this card again I'm assuming blue red Phoenix from my opponent I guess even if it's stormy would be the same thing not gonna be playing it this come in turn but on the side row nebulae if I find an amulet I can actually play emulate that Sousa okay so now we know that we're playing against Phoenix probably yep all right so we're gonna be able to even if we don't draw the line we're gonna be able to account for cage which is gonna be cool he's here with that tier 1 sub good to catch you in line again thank you thank you so much for the continued support he Co really appreciate it welcome back to the prime time stronghold probably gonna be multiple yes I hear very much okay with this that was a good draw all right and now we're gonna get bog and buck for sure because I see if Li if they're sitting over there so I definitely don't want in able that or maybe I'm let that go actually I guess I could have like a metamorphose see them and more force into fitness league or something like that so maybe I do want to bog that stuff away the thing is I kinda want to set up another Titan it's very very unlikely for them to kill this Titan though right it would need to be like third bolt into flame slash or third and fourth folds or something that's it's extremely unlikely so the versus name rent and magic FS Copenhagen and basically just hard mode for spell torsos game one turn one on one game two and three with a single spell pure suppose exactly it's just stupid neo Brad is just stupid you know what I think I'm not gonna bug them I think I'm going to priority prioritize setting up setting up another Titan for next turn so I'm gonna have 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 so I'm not gonna have enough to play explosives onto and kill the thing in the ice are you expecting to flip but I don't expect the Titan to die how does it happen session this is a really tough decision so we have the answer for this set up and ready to go so it's just a matter of which lands do I want to have it into play for next turn I think it's gonna be borders garrison and total area west I already play my line for turn and if I want to hast the title next turn it has to get the stronghold so I think I'd rather have access to the D West in hand to prevent fraying against the worst-case scenario this also is pretty good because it lets me like if my opponent spends Eastern to do something like I don't know like play Aria I can spend these turn to kill the Aria and then and then still have another potential explosives to get rid of the thing in the ice so that is also it's also a plus of making this play right here nothing to do here slide a hand unless my opponent goes like loading into double Phoenix or something where she should be winning this game we're gonna take seven of these thing in the ice but unless they manage to put multiple Phoenix's into the graveyard we're gonna we should be fine blue what is this blue I'm paying costs set adrift yeah that's not gonna work yeah I had not seen this card in a while interesting that people are back on this okay so this is one two three four five six so that's not gonna be enough so I can prime time swing so I can prime time swing alternatively I can prime time setup act of negation is that something I'm interested in probably not because it makes the prime time champ lock so I am not about that life so I think it's gonna be prime time swing get so stronghold sanctuary bounds Lisa a place run over turn white red now we're gonna swing that we're gonna get one two three four five now feel of that it would be pretty good crossroads plus colony garden probably i neva need they force the chump I can do one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen so that is thirteen mana that's one short that's one short of playing Karn Experian Carrefour lattice and explosives on to so so unlucky I it doesn't really matter under stay we could just like just meet for another Titan and feel of the Dead and just kill them so we were fine yeah we should be okay finale of promise so I guess that's a reason to bug them right there interesting that they went for the thought scour instead of the lining bolt they're going to for multiple trying to set up multiple Phoenix's but that is like that is not gonna be enough that just that doesn't do it I thinking they're suing for nine and then they're gonna die on the crack back to the prime time so yeah I mean chomp you literally did on board they should have gone for the ball there and try to force my protect each other so they like they just put themselves from dead on board actually there that that was weird all right whatever we want discards we want this one and this one and this one let's fill out this you'll feel like a wind more card so it is it has proven to be pretty good in some matchups so what the way that I see it what it does is it takes a close situation and it turns it into like a done deal if that makes sense like sometimes it will give you the out to certain lines against against some matchups where you just basically lock the game up like you take your opponent from having like one or two outs into in their deck to having zero and it just just just shuts the door basically which has been interesting so I just continue to test it because it feels like it has potential but I'm not sold on it like if I were to clear a tournament this weekend I don't I don't know if I would if I would play it if that makes sense right field feels like our monastery mentor yeah I mean that I guess that's the way to put it yeah I have to psych ward couple of cards out cyber one packed and I want to sight out one land it's probably gonna be the field of the dead actually I feel basically only chumps it only chomps thing in the ice and the colony is just better a champion thing in the ice you see champs it in the early turns rest a full-blooded I subscribed the other day how do I get access to this side we got first of all thank you so much I really appreciate this subscription second of all what you need to do is you need to join my discord which is the first link that you'll find over there the print and truncal discord after you do you want to link your both your twitch and your discord accounts and it updates every couple of hours or so and after it updates for you you're going to start showing up in the discord with like your name being read which means that that you're you're both accounts are linked and you're gonna see access to the the channels that are sub only basically so those are those are the instructions the good thing is that once you do that any future cyber guys that are right you are just gonna be able to have access to right there so I think that overall it's it's worth it to do it this way this is a very awkward hand but I think I'm gonna keep it like it has a ton of potential and a worst case scenario we get to like bug on one forests on to play play this on 2 and then we can crack it on turn 3 that's a nice choice for a basic Island gemstone man would be a great draw that is not a great draw so what are my potential draws and how do i sequence my lands here that's the Paducah ball entered the battlefield tapped mess me up I think it kind of does so I'm going to play it out here for no value because again it leaves me out to next turn play the forest if my opponent plays a thing in the ice here which apparently they do so unless I draw a gemstone mine here which would be awesome but I don't because I'm never lucky so now we have an out to kill in this next turn what do you think about possibly trying to fill either in the list from yesterday you could score this if you wanted to but like I don't see why we would want to go all in on the whole like I don't think I want to be going all in on the filter guardian aspect of the deck only this is a key aspect of the deck I mean please load with me here that's that's worse and then blood-money me I would play first next less it into place except that we are minimizing the turn to plays right like imagine if I had gone forest on turn 1 and I didn't have these explosives to blow this thing up next turn like they work then we're gonna be taking 14 for this from this yeah we were that so I I don't think that that is the correct way to go I think that the way that I sequenced it was better wow they just randomly mailed to Phoenix's must be nice opponent must be really nice so now we're put in a situation where we need to talk big exactly gemstone mine in order to path one of the Phoenix's gemstone mine it's not it all right do you have absolutely literally nothing Oh even if they do I I can't win right yeah okay okay there you were all right some setup also great content Thank You rusty full-blooded I appreciate it oh the fowl blew it blew it I keep you possibly find some value in flicker in a gray circle or us at some point but yeah I don't know if it's worth a song it's just not a great card I mean I'm gonna keep this hand and be very very punished by it but what am I supposed to do right am I supposed to like give up this this tribe Scout value this answer to blood when in force of vigor this amulet I'm not giving this up but if we don't do a primetime work with this it recounts the way to go now I think I'm stealing for cars flumpty dumpty I think I have been happy with three in the car lists that I've been playing and to be fair as I said a couple of times I don't think carne is the way to go right now though like I think that you should be playing tricking which I think that objectively speaking is the best the best amulet shell currently I don't see a reason for playing out the second amulet yet besides information and my opponent has like shattering spree or something exposing the second amulet seems not particularly great for me a braid now raus their full blooood thank you for the photo I appreciated all right so here come the phoenixes can we draw a primeval Titan can we draw a primeval Titan Hey opponents opponents Oh opponent people love their sewage equals prime time so I could have I could have held up the Scout activation in order to like hard cast this verse a vigor and like I literally have two answers to Baldwin in my hands so I I don't think I'm interested in that look at the boss to get the match list yeah I streamed it on Tuesday so if you go to youtube you're gonna find it there I always I always copy a link to the to the list that I'm playing at any given point and I copy that into the comments like they're into their description aria sweet thanks for the ten life can we drop Ramiro Titan please and thank you please and thank you please and thank I did say please so this time around I don't have Rex age anymore in King hands so I am going to hold up discovered activation blood main force this it's kind of funny how well my hand lined up together right here and how my turns lined up like I attack in the tournament they did nothing I did not attack on the turn would mean it turns what they did do something when I'm hanging out at anyone right now if they have another blood when I'm gonna die though yep I regret literally everything I just said we're in a lot of trouble of prime time please come on and I don't think we have any more answers to this so I'm just gonna play this out maybe I got too hasty to destroy the first moon it's just like how unlikely is that we literally drew nothing it's like steering's was to drill a redraw and Tulare West was a Titan will Titan was a Titan we have so many outs but it seems like we're going to die now which really sucks Oh lol lol I mean if they don't find any other phoenixes they did what why do I even say things why do I even talk what did they target nothing with this surgical okay so we're probably good now and we are like we literally did actually nothing more nothing I mean wow we have 11 Titans and we were not gonna find anyone in the top twenty two cards of her Dec 23 24 25 26 27 28 well it happens what's up Jeremy your yoke how you doing we're not playing brain stones like are important so of course we don't find them yeah I mean they found two blood moons in the top 15 cards I think or so and then we we looked at the top 28 and we didn't find it Titan bad beats bad beats what definitely keeping this hand this is a turn three Titan and this is we're playing against Luis CVR who is a recent legacy grinder so that's why I'm like yo you joined the wrong queue oh there he's he's gonna get caught ah this is ah oh my god oh this is so good oh my god this is so good oh this is so good alright what do we do I getting piping middle and yeah Luis is a funny guy I like Luis Rex age we definitely want a car and definitely want this we don't want Butchie t-bog I put a throne in my cyber because it's fake letter flew why do I bring it against John to you would I think that you have much better options against blue white death Ron it's possible to just feel that that is just a better alternative against Iran honestly I ballista out explosives out actually let's do it the other way around there so my first game ever we can't went turn to converse is Shawn land anymore yeah that was that was very enjoyable that was very very enjoyable hmm now this one there's one is worth thinking about I think I'm gonna keep one two three four five so this can be a turn one amulet turn to Azusa but we have like to draw steps to make our decision still so that's also great for us we do die to a ghost squatter though what is this yeah okay so we're fine we do that we go squirter and we do die to a card to be carne that is I do think that's worth it because we are kind of very far behind already so if Luis has exactly natural Letran into carne or it has to be in naturally drawn go scooter we're probably gonna lose to those carts anyway so I think that the boost in the boost in man eyes Faline worth it here so we're gonna go for it and I am very very aware of the risk right like I literally just said what the risk was but I think that it's it's worth it's worth running the risk since we die too since we die to it anyway you might as well play we filled up the debt here since we like to go squatter and stuff anyway might as well play this card and hold up de Tulear western han yeah yeah so that then I think that like Tron place one ghost quarter and they like drew their one of go squirter so it was I think it was it was definitely worth the risk their field of did that worth playing marry board and if so over what well as you can see we're playing well they would you go buddies in the cyber but if you look at the list we're playing it as the 29th land I don't think it's worth playing over any up for other lands so I don't think that you can use this card to replace and in this version I'm mostly running it I don't think it's a good main deck card that I'm mostly running in the main deck because most running in the main deck because I don't think I want to cut any of my cyber cards basically hope that makes sense this is a this is great hand this is right hand no risk involved just just a very good con and oddly enough we still don't know whether my opponent is on each one or more agreed on the way is coming down to six all right so if we find any way off the top we're probably gonna win this game very unlucky so unlucky there we go now the question is do I play the amulet here and I think I'm going to play this now play this all right so Sousa play this this is line number one land number two so this is gonna prompt the response right here what Oh what do I lose to here I think I lose to exactly car liberated so my play is gonna be fighting needle for carne because o stone doesn't do anything because the Greek rear is busted this needle again I'm assuming that Lewis is someone every corn okay so now we are on the other conduct you could have turned into reality Smasher exactly yeah my my opponent got punished by that by that f6 value I don't think there's anything they can have here because even if they TK ask me they take my Rex age I - corn for lattice I lattice lock them I chump for one turn and then from that turn on basically I just + on the lattice until I trow Titan and I think as when oh yeah so Lewis says that that they have smasher in him yeah so I guess I guess that if they had this masher then things we're gonna go much worse for us never mind we're gonna win it we were gonna win [Laughter] burnt amulet is the best I agree I agree big monkey so but for him to pond he's a great player a lot legacy we're listening to human mother yeah IIM lose to him very odd very often as well he said he's a very good legacy player and we're playing against another legacy grinder this is hilarious we're playing against another legacy grinder this is cliffy he is an insane storm player if I'm not mistaken but yeah Louis it was it was it was a good match I I don't think it would have mattered like even if you had drawn yeah for sure like even it's kind of hilarious that through two entire games we who just didn't know whether you were on a drazi Tron or whether you were on on regular Tron I assume that you were a regular Tron cuz you don't know just you just drew too many this is due to many expedition Maps or whatever no cuz you were dying into a you were dying to a prime time so smasher would have answered the car and then Titan would have killed you and you can't and I had Rex agent hands so even if you had like if you can't force narrow bridge it just doesn't matter okay so let's steer X into an amulet because daddies are out here so unlucky huh so unlucky okay so how do our land sequence how the Olin sequence look like looks like we can play come on here play second segura we can play scouts colony to block next turn we can bounce on replay call me twice and there's no way I can we can make it to six for the next turn so I think considering that it's gonna be better for us to get Civic Rose chamber here Scout yeah I probably gets you to break up Tron yeah even even if you keep Tron it just it doesn't matter like you answer the car and that I just attack your car with with my team and you need to you need to chump the car even if you leave the if you need the guy to block if you need to leave the dispatcher to block one tramples and then you take one from the Scout and work from the Azusa and babycorn dies then take it from there yeah the h1 matchup is very good for amulet yeah I literally top that the Titan like after after the match was done I took that I drew the car then I talked back to Titan called me garden good ol Chum Perino you what can I count for the easy option is to con for cribs honestly I think it's better to put multiple champ lockers in the way I could oh I could carve and set up worm coil for next turn let's might wanna have lethal I'm gonna have to jump with one scout one two three four five six seven that's not lethal is that better than just getting primetime mixer so next one I'm gonna have one two three one two three four five so I can tighten and get life gained land and field off the dead I guess that's a plan okay so it seems better to do this then one two three four five yeah since better to do this and not play the card end of turn I'm gonna flash in both of these lands I guess I'm gonna flash this one in combat so I can chomp and then next turn I can make a bunch of tokens what's your favorite song right now good question probably the song that I have listened to the most and I just can never ever get sick of is a dead man by carnival it's that's the name of the song and the name of the band is carnival lateralis my tool is also very very good one another wayfinder please no gak sweet also no blood gas that's such a right there carry on fear you got it one two three four five six yeah so we have enough matter to tighten and then we're gonna make it even get a lot of zombies new to album coming soon right that's what I hear but that's what they've been saying for literally years so I don't know what to try to what to believe anymore I don't know what to believe we're not playing bridge with big monkey and if you look at my hand I have a bunch of cards in my hand so the bridge wouldn't stop these these two ones from serving anyway so also all of my Lance Kanter the battlefield tab so my cyber looks like this I don't think the bridge is very good an amulet because of what we are seeing right now it's it's not easy to empty your hand so yeah that's that's what you're missing well we have to untap traps cut yes we do but that is still not enough mana right we don't have an amulet in play I'm gonna take four here down to eight so the best car that we can draw is either blog or copy the crossroads so Titan gets you a bunch of zombies right yeah exactly if we can win this I like to I think we do the opponent oh I think we're gonna win this now the question is what do I get I think I wanna maximize zombie production and with that goal in mind actually I think I'm interested in that was striking a Titan okay so let's let's think about this for a second so I get the super copy bounce land bounce itself replay it as no that doesn't work because that means that I don't have enough lions okay so what I'm gonna do is gonna be yes borders garrison field of the Dead it's too somber so we're gonna play Kearney garden that's gonna give us one extra stay when extra token to chomp play this return one more Samba and now we have instant speed two extra zombies and we can also transmit we're gonna say that for a we can set up transmitting for next turn actually that's what I was trying to set up here and it doesn't work because double zombie would be would mean that I need to copy these two bombs and that means that we only have six lines so we can't double do it my father's going through half their deck and they still haven't found the whole GAC wow this is gonna be another gonna stack to the current fear it's gonna be literally half their deck and they haven't found a gap yet at this point I think the GAC is gonna be too late though what if you copied one of his lands then I cannot bounce the dollar then I cannot bounce the Vistula in order to replay it as a field of the dead because I'm getting these from the from the Titan trigger and the tsuba cannot copy Wow still nothing that's crazy and the tsuba cannot copy a land that entered the battlefield at the same time you can only copy a land that was already the battlefield so doesn't quite work unfortunately the nice thing is that all that my opponent is doing right now edges it literally does not matter so that's cool serial cards in hand yeah this game is over can i car lock them out next turn hey for pact 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 so I'm gonna be some mana short so no it doesn't it's gonna be a very easy block block here block here block block block I don't even need to activate the scouts so block here look here look here look here look here and now Titan it's gonna get bog and that's gonna be game over good to know about the main decline in acts by the way you know those weren't some good attacks from them I honestly I don't think they have good attacks so unless I have missed something and they have a way to kill this Titan this is gonna be game over right here yo T / this and make a Samba / this in make another Samba and tap one two three four yes now this is just easy mode you would feel to the main no I ate it I I mean yes with this with this version of the deck how about double field here would be absurd remember to bounce it bounce the max of some bees what if you copied one of your slants to the main if you run two fields and fetch them both I know it's not a plan I I would never ever in the history of modern want to do that playing two copies of this card is just incorrect just the first one is I'm not still sure whether it's worth it it's definitely looking great here but the first one I am not even sure it's worth it and I definitely don't want a second one like no I don't want a work eschewed a printer printer would push a meat here one summer bloom exploration the problem is that any of those cards just makes the deck actually busted so they probably don't want to do that so here I can double strike but that doesn't set up lethal anyway so I think I might as well just bought my opponent and close the door this way you make zombies yeah get back there guests I think this will because I forgot it may not always be the right to play feel exactly alright we won't pass to exile we don't want to act application we don't want to go scorer don't think we want card we were more coil we don't want this we want cage and we want Tomo script yep it's very very nice and straightforward set up I like it fortunately this is Somalian think this is also Mulligan on five not four okay but on this bottom this and bottom yes yeah I think I just need to get lucky here bottom this bottom this yeah I guess so that is so bad like I really need that there than top source because it's the Azusa but I actually care about the card advantage from these lands if we were playing to fill the boy with the appearances for a lot of light in the matchup yes probably in fact in the trinket list that I fight both with the other day that I was talking about earlier I do think that field is a sideboard card I don't think I went in the main deck in fact I'm just destined in the main deck right now like I'm not sure whether it's actually good or not and there's the problem with bog in this matchup and why this matchup is bad well dredge is actually a very good matchup if you look at what like I just block my opponents on one and usually dredge would take a lot for them to get set up anyway it took my opponent one card just to get like to get the ball rolling again and in fact they're probably gonna sag the supplier here and if they find a gag they can cast it on turn to even throw a would you bug after their turn one faceless loading so this deck is so much better than dredge it's not even funny oh they just have the GAC in hand what there we go there we go so now that Pat the XO that I have it's looking very nice the only thing is that I didn't have I literally don't have mana to cast a path so so I'm gonna take four turn your turn at least even if I played explosives and I cannot draw both the path and a white source to answer this so I think I just have to consider here Amil it doesn't help me if I draw exactly amulet I can still not set up a Titan so yet we are just dead I would need mm e'en to get out of this and I can't draw both amulets and a Titan as well yeah we got and that's why this is not like the nerdy bog this this this bog does not trigger the the natty bulk command while if this were again if they we were planing and stretched that was that was definitely in a debug situation but as I'm saying I literally have no outs like there's no sequence of cards this was like the absolute best sequence that I could have found and that is still not enough so go again yeah turn to hook a political system will play even her head yeah yes it is yeah like the this this deck is this like he's pretty busted this deck really is pretty busted I think that blows my mind about the bridge man was that this was a possible start without bridge and they didn't do anything to stop it yeah well I honestly think that they play design team it's kind of a joke like so many absurd things made it through the play design team without being stopped yeah unfortunately these hands are just not good enough because they don't like to buy new cards just like they did then BBE another item yeah so they kept seven yeah so that this hand can cannot be the seven from huh Gak this one is something okay keep and we're gonna bought a prime time and we're gonna bottom to Larry West I I really don't understand why they printed huh Gak in the first place like it just blows my mind that they did it if it feels like it just slipped through the cracks and it it really blows my mind that they didn't figure out that that was just absurdly broken I guess so this sucks because this delays the azusa for one more turn and I can't really like I can't even afford to bounce this like I just need to bounce the gemstone mine and be very sad about it I don't know how they would understand so the thing that blows my mind is that it's not that people take because some decks are busted like amulet you know amulet was a busted deck with summer bloom and everything but it took people literally years to figure out the best configuration to figure out like how to how to build the deck how to shore up the bad matchups and everything like that it took people like three days to figure out the whole back deck how is it possible that the play design has been playing with this card with with that card for months and they didn't figure out it really blows my mind yes it feels very obvious to me even it's just like it it's they they are either just hiring the wrong people or just look at this try one graphics gauge my opponent puts ten power and turn two anyway what am I supposed to do what am I supposed to do about this exactly just like if you'd were and cast above her hand just like the other guy okay so that was the absolute best drug that I could have found I still don't think it's going to be enough and and look at me get four so bigger here just wait for it just wait for me to get forced okay so if I draw exactly primeval Titan I have a shot but I need to draw exactly premier Titan this turn because I'm gonna need to charm the Korean theater next turn so Ramiro Titan okay so maybe I can survive one more turn links to these crossroads so maybe I can buy myself one more turn on two three four eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen so I can play out the Simic growth chamber and if I do that that means that I can use the associative chump well I guess I can use yesterday chump anyway but I'm gonna finish the turn with one more mana step better cuz I I don't have a like I can I can't play the Vasu out because that means that Titan is no longer and out for me so I need to copy the same across chamber and if I copy the civic growth next turn I can gain two if I play this return so how many do I need to kill me this turn so I need to jump with this they can attack with everything I block here that's gonna be 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 so I guess that they would need to play like land and 3 3 1 drops in order to kill me next turn so I think I'm just gonna pass the turn here and hold up the console in hand because holding up the bounce land gives me alternative routes next Erna well I guess it does and actually right they actually don't think it does maybe I think I should have played the bounce land out just wait for this to be a sausage trophy on the cage and just I'm off a modern mood not playing into Phoenix in her guise we deal with yeah Phoenix is way easier to deal with then Dan huh Gak like it just you just saw what happened I mean I have to not walk here the only way that I can win this game is is if I not block and my opponent does not have assassins trophy in him so I need to top leg exactly primeval Titan and I die to assassin Sophie to Larry West okay play will get rewarded etc and is that enough though yes it is exactly enough it is exactly enough because I held the violin in my hand if I had played out the bounce then we would have lost this game I mean we can still lose in fact we don't have lethal I don't think now the question is can I find a way can't exile the graveyard it's not rather because of cage okay so yeah my opponent has assassins trophy I lose the game so I can't play around that because they just have too much pressure in place so I'm just going to act like they don't have anything which means motive scary scene Slayers stronghold this unfortunately does not give me enough to land so can I can you survive this turn can even survive this turn I swing for eight I get don't have enough to double strike I get one two three four I cannot make field of the Dead active I guess that was a mistake I should have left this card in play I didn't think I had enough no it doesn't matter because I because I'm going to bounce on a card here so never mind it doesn't change anything so I cannot I cannot make field accosted and active here there's just no combination that allows me to do that here's the assassins trophy okay though I I just couldn't play around that that's just too absurd and that was turn one graph diverse gauge bouzouki bug and gaining multiple life through bouncing and replaying capital crossroads yeah yeah I don't think that who is comparable to Phoenix you can stop you can slow down Phoenix considerably we just like something like a single path of Exile or even fatal push like fatal pushes is a very reasonable card against Phoenix well it does nothing against hoga I just think the hog deck is it's a little bit too busted and yep so as you can see carne is still very powerful we still have a lot of matchups that are gonna be good for us but just do it match I'd be so much worse like our sideboard just doesn't really do enough and we are using a bunch of slots to play cards like micro sim lattice and like work online giant worm coil engine and stuff like that so yeah unfortunately unfortunately it's not the time to be playing card however I think as soon us whoever gets banned which is very likely to be I think I'm gonna try to I think I'm probably gonna go back to testing with carne and trying to figure out whether it's the the best thing to be doing yeah I mean there's a lot of things that make it busted right but there's like this car that you can only cast from your graveyard which is like and that would be this desert this is not it but okay there's like a gold re guy that you can only cast from your graveyard which is fine you know it's just it's just if it had that close maybe things would be better if you didn't have trample things would be much better if you didn't have if you'd had like del I don't know like til 9 or some things it would be better but yeah so we lost to Phoenix we beat we lost to Phoenix and we beat a drazi true we beat all the other things we played against coral ash here - black lathe no this is not the guy that I'm looking for it has a name similar to how I actually Phoenix removes every single man and architect from the format thanks to thing in the ice yeah that's that's actually yeah that's fair but it's not a big part of the matter right yeah I don't know I mean feels that was was good against Kovac being in the main deck but I don't think that you can play this one up like it's not better than any of the other 28 lines that we're currently playing so if you wanna play field I think that you need to play that's a twin guys land and I don't think there's there's any way around it honestly what could change is coalition relic like this is the switch that I made I actually have a 500 with this list there was like that when I strained it last week so maybe this is just a better setup happy next having access to so make sure I might be better yeah map Sinise is this guy that it's a three men a three three that can only be cast from your graveyard and it allows you to cast night cards from your graveyard so it combos with like the changeling removal spell Hakan thank you huh come on so it's like huh Gak but the other way around this guy yeah this is the guy I'm thinking of you see you make us how come from your graveyard but not from anywhere else if her back had this clothes things would be much easier it doesn't oh so that gets busted but yeah it's definitely gonna get banned I'm not really do we move back to the listed cyber we humans getting less popular [Music] maybe that's the other option I like having access to the ballista in the main deck though it's it really helps even against like blue white and stuff blue white has like force of negation and whatnot so Karn is not particularly reliable and not very good to resolve so having access to the ballista in the main that you can transmute four against blue out and set up a lethal ballista it's very nice but maybe with field of dead we just don't need that angle anymore because we already have a very strong alternate wink on against blue eyed in the main deck so maybe this supposed iteration and we can do something like this the problem with this is that now I need to take out a card for my side War than I I I like all my cards in the side of course so yeah I think that I would have to be something like this yeah I don't know it's just it's just sad because I really want to play Karn but as long as Hokage still a dick I like can't really like if I if I went away and I can't really play this version of the deck which is sad anyway we're gonna have a this is gonna be a short stream today thanks very I for hanging out I gotta go now got some stuff to do and have to play a show later this evening but yeah I will be back on Monday enter combination Casey drink of it yes you can the the list that I played on Tuesday that is that is the my favorite list in the current state of modern and I think that's what I will play if I were playing an event this weekend or something like that would come back when Kohler disband for the sake of healthiness they should probably been more folks at least maybe more focus one to go honestly like oh one of the decks that we played against was was gray shirt brand and that was that was a beautiful waste of all of our time it really was there ooh Thank You Man okay thanks to the free with having a match one that's not differ much from attacking turn three with a 7/8 of equation to your headboard and doubled three to fires it is in this sense that you can use the final push and you can stop that from happening kiss you and you can use a path to excel you can stop that from happening so that is the thing that is the big difference no this is not the one if you look at the five-o dumps from today you can find it there Casey it got published so let me let me give you a link to the 500 lists so you can find it there it's it's towards the end so that's the list that I would recommend right now yep alright so thanks for everybody for hanging out I will be back this Monday I'm trying to see whether I'm gonna be able to sneak in a stream maybe like a challenge over the weekend since I'm gonna be in LA but I it's not very probable so I wouldn't bank on it so I don't want to promise anything if I if I do manage to do it then I will definitely let you know through Twitter and the discord but
