man, enduring innocence with gideon against midrange/control is disgusting.
It sure is!
Been contributing to some views for this video. Absolutely love your deck and your thought process. Keep it up
Thank you! Glad you like the videos!
I just found your channel and normally i dont comment. But i just wanted to say I like your stuff! Keep it up 🙆
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoy the videos :)
Seriously? Attack after the first round that the Ring resolved?
I think u should try it without leyline sinergy.
Do u think it’s playble again??
I do yes! Leyline scion is good at the moment, and the 4/4s present quite a clock
@@nickbmtg I love this deck, u should use very well every answers at the right time. I think the hardest matchup are Tron and boros
Thanks, I do too! Yes those are hard, scion is good vs Boris if we can get it with leyline. I like betrayal vs Tron, always fun!
Wonderful
I already shipped the cardss
Mine arrived today, excited to play it in paper!
Ive been running the Angels version of this for about a year, and Ive been on the fence about it for awhile. Might shove a pair of Kayla's Reconstruction in this list and give it a go.
Oh cool, yea reconstruction could be good. I really enjoyed playing this league!
Loved me some rhinos, personally the deck needs the brazen borrower right now
Yea i love them too! Always did like borrower, anything specific you been wanting it for?
@nickbmtg just a good answer/threat I am more surprised with all the early game aggro decks running around dead gone doesn't make the cut either
In your zoo matchup, if you leyline binding the leyline of the guildpact instead of the kavu (19:49), you more than likely win that match. The op didn't have any land types, so the kavu would have died.
Ahh thanks - yep that would have been so much better! Need to keep that in mind when playing vs Zoo
The spliced arcane was 100% a counter. It read "timewalk" on the card.
Yes it likely was - I was just scared of countering that since I didn't have the win next turn, so saved the FON to counter the payoff
Hi! What do you think about running Betrayal against Zoo? You can go for his Draco or Kavu depending on what you need. The idea would be to go 3 Footfalls and 2 Betrayal and go 2/3 Subtlety. About Bonecrusher I'm not a huge fan, I always prefer a Subtlety first, even against Boros.
Hi! Hmm not sure about betrayal vs zoo but could see trying it out! Yea bonecrusher didn't really come up this league much, but can be great vs ring decks.
I find myself using the term "nine you" and even "twelve you" quite often with jeskai and I think it's pretty indicative of Phlage's power level
Yea same! It's certainly quite a card
Too many lands, mate, way too many😂😂😂😂
Whats the point to have emrakul in sideboard?)
Emrakul is usually there to bring in against Mill, as it shuffles your library back in.
Is it possible to play any control deck anymore without the one ring? I only play paper and refuse to buy a playset.
Yea the card is everywhere at the moment! Think most full control decks want it, but there are more tempo style decks like Murktide that don't.
Just finished the video, I really think the deck need 1 or 2 more lands
Thanks, yea could be right, I did struggle on lands a few times
This has to be the worst deck ever into boros, as well as into jeskai energy. I think only rock nostalgia is a valid motivation to play this deck lol. Yeah it did well in a challenge, but mtg is a game where sometimes stars align for many games in a row, and any deck can win. kinda like winning a lottery. This 3-2 felt really lucky honestly, I think the deck is really mid
I do admit I love the rock... Will play a few more leagues to see how they go I think
Back from vacation and a BG rock video pop on my feed 😎
Ah yes feels great to play it again! Hope you had a good vacation!
@@nickbmtg pretty good, but too short unfortunately haha. Yeah I'm back on the rock too, I think the deck has legs in this meta
Ah always the case! Yes me too, excited to play it some more
Told you! ;) do friday footfalls again, i bet you will hit 1k subs :)
Ah yes maybe it is time to bring it out of retirement!
Hey dude, always love the Quintorius Combo vids!
Thanks, glad you like them! Still liking the deck, but need to tweak it a bit I think to combat all the creature decks
Everyone saying rhinos is dead, GG bro, 5-0 with that is quite something ! I must admit i also think rhinbos is super bad hah hah. I see you even beat jesk control lol, damn !
Thanks! Going to play some more, see if I can replicate the results!
@@addkite i never stopped playing rhinos in my LGS and kept going first or 2nd and everyone was crying about how bad rhinos is right now 🤣🤣🤣
@@GotchaPlaysGer well done !
Hey Nick, any interest in playing Jeskai or Boros Energy? What decks are you preferring right now?
Hey - I have played a bit of Jeskai control, but haven't actually tried Boros... Should probably give it a try, just to get a look from the other side. Lots of things to try in Modern at the moment, of the top decks though i'm quite liking Goryo's.
@@nickbmtg Sick. I'd recommend trying Boros, although it isn't your usual kind of combo deck, it is actually really fun and I think that contributes pretty significantly to its popularity and "staying power" in the metagame. Also, I've seen some weird Domain Zoo lists with Leyline+Scion, Bowmasters, Ajani and Frog. It's a weird list but it's basically just playing all the most busted creatures. Really interesting.
Hi Nick, glad to have stumbled on your channel. Fellow Brit here :). Very clear explanations of the reasoning behind decisions, good job. Also playing slow enough to follow it all. Can you sort out the sound levels between videos though? Some I have to turn right up to hear at all, and then goes to next and my neighbours move out, lol. Subscribing.
Hi, welcome to the channel - thanks for your comment! Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for pointing the sound issues out, not sure what's causing that! Will investigate and try and fix going forwards :)
@@nickbmtg Thankyou very much :)
I'm trying to play this deck as a beginner, what do you think?
I say go for it! It's a good deck, with lots of interaction and a powerful gameplan
That woodlands spike list is NOT rogue, that’s one of the best decks in modern right now.
Yea it does seem powerful! Hoping to run hot tomorrow with it!
Thank you I wanted to see this deck in action when I saw this list, it looks very weird on paper but the results were nice
No worries, love to see martyr do well!
You are very bad
Nick is quite good at magic - it is very easy to judge as a spectator.
@@zephah Thanks :)
He’s not bad. It seems like he was trying the deck out and getting a feel for it. Nick is also always open to learning more optimally plays from people in the comments and seems to be humble. That is the perfect recipe for becoming better at this game.
@@anthonywasser7683 Thanks for your comment :) Definitely hit the nail on the head - always want to try and both improve myself, and help others where I can :)
Why would you not just let their Ajani resolve, legend rule, Ajani dies, and respond to Ajani flipping with Solitude? It effectively lets you remove the 2nd Ajani for free?
Also you didn't need to pick up the 2nd copy of Goryos from the graveyard, just leave it and keep the Fallaji as a 1/4 to hold back Ocelot or force a double removal🤔
Ah thanks for pointing those out - yes would have been much better!
The last game has so much triggered me whilst watching it, chock, then toxic deluge was the out, you so much had it ! But welp gg anyway !!
Thanks, yea was so close!
why u dont play 4 frogs?
Hi - took RVNG's list here - I do want to try it with 4 frogs, will be in the next iteration i play :)
I would love to see you try out AspiringSpike's take on this archetype. It gets way more value out of Ephemerate due to playing Thunderclap Trainer and the like, and it plays Psychic Frog as both a cheap threat and a way to get Atraxa in the graveyard.
Ah yes I did see him playing that - it looks sweet! Definitely trying 4 frogs for the next league with Goryo's, may give the flare build a go
The Blink effect brings the ulamog directly from exile into play so it sees itself coming from exile thus the 10 counters added
th-cam.com/users/shorts16zQe0agyCg?si=r53WgcPBCccM3mSh This vid will explain it better
Ah i see - thanks!
@@aochv1 Thanks - that does help!
@@aochv1 came down in the comments to post this lol
It works the same way with Emperor of Bones too lol, so another funny interaction where you just auto win with Ulamog
Why no bloodghast?
Not sure, took the most recent list I could find... Maybe just the weakest of the enablers?
hI Nick good night, why this list dont have any harbinger to the sea in the sideboard? Thanks a lot <3
yeah i agree 100%, harbinger here seems mandatory with amulet's comeback, and goryo going for domain for leyline binds
Hi! Yes harbinger does sound like a good idea, thanks! I will include in the next one, probably over break the ice. Will have to change the mana to have a basic swamp and make it easily fetchable
I think 4 Fatal push is overkill, go down 1 push and go up a consider, also a one of fell to the profane would be pretty good especially because ub shadow can have a tough time if planeswalkers resolve
Ah good ideas - thanks - will give those a try!
Cool deck ! love the lifegain aspect, gonna try it but with tamiyos. Not sure i like the subtelties here much, though i love the card in general. I really don't like the teferies here either
Yea i've been enjoying it! Tamiyo is interesting, let me know how it goes :) Yea i could see trimming tefs but I do like having the ability to bounce problematic permanents, or being able to re-set our ring. Also great if we expect a lot of murktide.
@@nickbmtg true, tef maybe good atm. tamiyo maybe prove harder to include than i first thought :(. Subtelties are good as we a re light on threats, so ur build may be the best one in the end hah hah
Second land is always priority
Ah yea thanks - definitely got punished from some dodgy keeps here!
@@nickbmtg loved seeing it!
Why do use 'sheoldred edict' in this deck? There aren't other better removal?
Ah - at the time, Leyline/Scion decks were everywhere, so the edict effects were good to get around hexproof
This was my list, thanks for playing it and for the shoutout! 😁
Oh cool! No worries, loved the list, congrats on the results with it!
Hey. I been on rakdos transmogrify for over a year now. Been looking for a discord or something to bounce ideas off of. Assuming you are shadowtitan?
if you play a new card you should probably read it....you dont have to pay 2 to copy a 1-drop
100% agree
Ah yes, I do have this revelation at round 3 or 4
missed lethal at 35:10 sorin sac vein ripper post combat instead of giving it a counter + soul spike to face would have been exactly 15 since vein ripper also triggers on itself. didnt matter at the end but could have. always good to keep in mind sorin sac vein ripper represents 5 damage while counter only represents 1. gg tho, nice vid.
Oh thanks for pointing that out, I haven't played with ripper in pioneer so need to get better with it! Will bear in mind. Glad you enjoyed :)
List has been treating me well.
Glad to hear! I want to play it some more
You see, mate, you really need 4 harbingers rather than just 2 since most of your winning games were counting are them.
Yea think I do want to go back to 4
The deck needs 2/3 surveil lands, and wrath of the skies is a good card for sideboard, good video
Thanks, glad you enjoyed! Yea definitely want more surveil lands and do want to try wrath
@@nickbmtg The deck have good matchup against energy aggro decks, but is difficult do the perfect sequency for win, the games are closed
@@metrik.olpgoficial2577 Yea agreed, need to play the match up some more
Would love to see ur flare of denial wizards! Loved the vid:)
Glad you enjoyed! Yep will be playing more wizards :)
Sergi Casado Hamed is the best martyr life player in the world ❤
Thanks for putting me on to him! Will check out his latest lists :)
@@roger__estradasergilpg and Sergi Casado Hamed are the same person, in paper tournaments and online tournaments
@@metrik.olpgoficial2577 Oh thanks for letting me know! @roger__estrada didn't realise - thanks for putting me on to your latest lists :)
At 22:38 was the optimal play not to just go straight to combat and swing out? Opponent is at 5 with one blocker, you force them to take 2 and Snap Bolt for the kill.
Ah yep, that was definitely optimal! Thanks for pointing that out - think I got too carried away with drawing cards!
Came to comment the same shit. Pissed me off
@@nickbmtg falling for the VALUE play, we've all been there.
Haha I'm glad it's not just me!
learned a lot about the vs. TRON game! Are Stern Scolding and Kozilek's Return the only sideboards to Mardu energy?
Glad to hear! Yes would definitely want those vs Mardu
Do you think kitsa otterball elite is playable in this deck?
Hmm I'm not sure, I guess it fights with tamiyo who is only 1 mana. Might be worth a try though!
