wonder how replacing nadu combo with more maindeck counterspells and like 2 murktides would work. at least from watching, it feels like the deck generates enough extra cards to afford a couple maindeck force of negation as early interaction for combo, and murktide as evasive dude that doesn't die to fatal push seems decent
Finally got to start watching the list I requested. I’m doing so now that we got a generator hooked up, got Wi-Fi going (data isn’t working) and I can trust I’ll have phone battery! I’m excited!
Lots of value. I might cut Nadu/Shuko/Saga and pick up a couple of Murktides and maybe some Delvers abd just apply more early pressure. But this style of deck isn't my forte.
7:30 I really dont understand that attack. You had open mana, nothing to spend it on. Why not actually cast those Brainstorms? You can still discard the same amount of cards to the frog, you can actually discard the "worst" out of the three cards you see, improving your draws... Also if you did that, you would have seen (and presumably kept) the Fatal Push, saving you ton of life by killing the Construct.
Cutting 4 Nadu, 2 Shuko in favor of... maybe, 2 Life from the Loam, 2 Exploration, and 2 Wasteland could take this deck in an interesting direction. The Urza's Sagas feel kind bad without any search targets, and we don't really play enough artifact that constructs are real threats. Maybe they could become the 3rd and 4th Wasteland.
Haven't watched it yet, but my prediction from seeing the deck list is that we want 4 trophy 4 strix against murktide and that nadu-shuko is the worst part of the deck because the rest isn't built around them with sth. like gsz or saga. Let's see how this league goes!
I dont understand your decision to abrupt decay first instead of assassins trophy around daze since AD cant be countered....wtf was that? you cast them both on the same turn...
see, you say dont shove all the good cards int he same deck but yet modern had that problem with the angry jelly bean and urza that they had to ban a lot fto make it go away so i can see it working even better in legacy lol.
Even as someone who usually isn’t time crunched, you always love to see Phil fro the future hype up a later round.

Good bot
Now this is a worthwhile bot

Phil: "Hard to win if you mull to 2"
Tron: "Hold my Karn"
I like how the intro just described a standard deck.
0:06 Jund wants to have a word with you.
fun deck Phil. really enjoyed watching this video, seems like a lot of the games had loads of interaction and back and forth so fun to watch. Thanks!
Finally got to start watching the list I requested. I’m doing so now that we got a generator hooked up, got Wi-Fi going (data isn’t working) and I can trust I’ll have phone battery! I’m excited!
Post game comment! That was a lot of fun! I’d love to see you tinker with this, make it even better!
I'm surprised we haven't seen a bigger resurgence of Abrupt Decay to answer Frog.
Are there just not enough good decks in BGx?

you have just described bug beans
Normally don’t love paid promotions but in this case I love seeing you get that money, Phil 💯🙌

Or setup a draw into leovold
Dig for leovold or shuko first, I agree
I love this deck and haven’t even seen it in action yet 🥳

I've been fooling around with a similar style list but without Nadu and with Natural Order to do something that can end games on the spot
Phil skipping Strix in the opening band call hype up is a crime.
58:29 why not trophy first to have it daze proof? they can't counter decay post trophy anyway
Nice looks fun for sure
Lookin good Phil!
Did the Tamiyo not get activated for the turn at 13:40?
Why on earth would you abrupt decay before assassin’s trophy, leaving it vulnerable to daze? 🤦♂️
Shoulda used ur brainstorms when u was pitching cards why not??
Could squeeze in Wasteland + Loam though : p

BUG my Love 😍
Someone has the link for the podcast?
BUG cards I own will always be option
11:45 should've played underground sea and saved misty for brainstorm
Give 'em the trade binder, eh?
you want psychic frog... probably not 🤣
0:00 But its beautiful and runs people over
this is my kind of deck
Haven't watched it yet, but my prediction from seeing the deck list is that we want 4 trophy 4 strix against murktide and that nadu-shuko is the worst part of the deck because the rest isn't built around them with sth. like gsz or saga. Let's see how this league goes!

I think Nadu is pretty bad and everything else is fine. Curve also feels too high
see, you say dont shove all the good cards int he same deck but yet modern had that problem with the angry jelly bean and urza that they had to ban a lot fto make it go away so i can see it working even better in legacy lol.
Deck needs ashock 3
