Me too - this is what sent me to the comments - figured for sure I was missing something when he started talking about decking himself and not having the Chandra as a wincon..
That play in match 1, when you cryptic your mystic to put time warp ontop and hit it off chandra to cast with fires was SUCH a line and I was very impressed. You're awesome, deck is gas, so cool
similiar to my favorite play in standard fires deck, faerie for planar cleansing, destroy your own fires and play out your hand, kinda time warp ish, ofc in modern the value plays are so much more vast
I have been eagerly anticipating this video since the second I saw LSV the list and results it put up. This might be the single sweetest deck in the entire game in any format right now.
Fun fact: The Chandra in the thumbnail isn't in the deck. Edit: They have since edited the thumbnail with the correct Chandra. Should've left it for the meme.
A. Velderrain All the other ones have basic land types, and they’re all pretty bad Magic cards. I think a big part of it is that instants and sorceries are inherently more powerful than most other cards because they’re one-shot effects. Recurring instants and sorceries is powerful. I think without the land type, Sanctuary would still be fairly good, but it would be limited more to Standard and EDH. Of course, the land type is what pushes it from “fairly good” to “stupid.”
At 15:00 there is a lethal line with Chandra ult, cast one of the three mana spells off fires, cast cryptic bouncing fires and then the third spell for three mana. Cool deck and I appreciate the quality content!
Awesome video! I had a fun turns list using many of the same cards but with As Fortold for the engine to break savor the moment and abuse the suspend cards, ancestral vision and wheel of fate. Fires seems so much better for that!
Don't forget that Fires of Invention restricts you to casting spells on your turn, not just at sorcery speed. There was a moment in one of the games where you cast time warp and howling mine through fires of invention with a dictate in hand. Cast the dictate on your own upkeep there to get a card immediately!
I think you'd be right to cut Jace Beleren for another Chandra. With fires and sanctuary, she looks even better in this deck, than she does in prison. She is somehow the most pushed mythic, that only really seems to fit in nonsense decks.
I could see narset’s reversal being a strong card in this deck, can be a piece of early interaction or you can use it on your own time warps on a combo turn
I personally like playing these fringe decks. Last time I ran modern I was doing something similar to this so with this in my head I may have to rethink and try this out as my new version of it
The play at 14:40 was awesome, though I believe you had deterministic lethal by ultimating Chandra, cast jace with fires, cast cryptic with fires, bounce the fires, play land play dictate for 15 damage.
"I mean they didn't force me to do anything, so I didn't. But I definitely had the option to try to go a little faster - I just didn't have to." Holy molly that's way to savage for my lukewarm tea at this late hour.
At 26:05 Is there no milage in taking Dictate over Mine so you can flash it in upkeep and draw an extra card? Sure Narset gives you more options but you're almost always going to want to play a howling mine effect that turn right, so why not take the extra card
@@XoIoRouge if our opponent is siding in artifact hate for mind stone against us with this deck, we are in a great spot. We dont NEED to go off on our third turn, but mind stone gives us that and a card draw, where guide doesnt give us a draw or re-usable mana. Mind stone is great when we want to cast turn 3 fires, but if it sticks around it also lets us play our extra turn spells one turn sooner than we might be able to with fires. (A time warp with only 4 lands in play, for instance) its a strict upgrade, in my opinion. I would love it if my opponent sided in hate for mind stone, especially artifact removal. We can still crack it in response but also it means they wont use it on howling mine which draws us even MORE cards. In essence, mind stone is great, but not necessary to win, so if our opponent uses up slots in their deck to hate on it, im not mad. Thats four less actual threats in their deck, potentially.
30:40 if LSV got back “exhaustion” and cast it and passed, he would have won right? Because opponent did “Summoners Pact”? Edit: I just finished watched … he won like that unwittingly 🙄 HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT!! 🤣
This looks like an actually fun combo deck that doesn't need a perfect hand to win. Maybe having a breeding pool and a bunch of Veil of Summers would be nice, the deck looks really rough versus discard.
@@myztik5716 if they turn 1 discard away your interaction and turn 3 lily youre kinda screwed, you can't bolt her so if you can't counter her it's pretty much game unless you top deck like a god
@@lorestraat8920 well for one, good luck bolting a tarmogoyf or a lily and just cantriping while getting hit with a bloodbraid with 3 cards on hand Edit: nvm wrong person
Hey LSV this is my favorite deck of yours, can you bring it back some time with some upgrades? Maybe those extra copies of Chandra you thought would be good?
on 14.41 you can Emblem Chandra, play land, cast jace - deals 5dmg, cast cryptic with bounce fires mode - deals 5dmg and play dictate to keil your opponent.
@30:35 & 31:02, you should have got back Exhaustion to kill them on the spot via their Summoner's Pact trigger. Or @32:30 just cast the one you drew. Edit: Ahh, see you stumbled into it XD
So a 1/1 creature, a +1/+1 counter, a food token, a slow raise dead or a free extra turn spell... good to see WoTC going back to their roots with colour cycles.
Against U/W around 16:40. You definitely should have ult’ed Chandra the second time you put time warp on top because it was guaranteed lethal by drawing it with jace and casting it. Obviously didn’t make a difference in the end but don’t want open up a chance to lose a game where you had lethal.
So I'm sure there's a reason for it and I'm not super caught up on the format, but.... wouldn't Jace, Vryn's Prodigy be good here? I would think it would be better than Jace Beleren but I could be mistaken. I'd also consider running the bolts in the sideboard - it feels like you would main deck either 0 or 4, 2 seems awkward.
It costs so much mana though. Just to equal one turn with Mine you'd need to spend an additional 2 mana. Folio gets good once you have the Fires in play, but before the Fires comes along it's a lot worse.
Sounds... bad? This deck really doesn't need a 5 Mana card that's off the combo. This is Modern, just because this deck powered through a great 5-0 on video doesn't mean it's not on the clunky end already and that would make it clunkier.
That amulet player needs to take a good look at their list... Fetchlands are not where you want to be. Also looks like they kept some hands that didn't have a clear path to a prime time, with the London Mulligan & Once Upon a Time, Amulet mulls very well. That Exhaustion win was hilarious though.
It didn't matter but I personally wouldn't have scooped against that Emry deck G1, just set a stop at the end step and f6'd. A lot of the artifacts they can play from the gy won't draw them cards right away and they'd almost definitely play conservative with that much blue up. There's a decent chance they could just take a setup turn and try to go for it the next one, which you might not have given them. Great league still
Round 1: 02:28
Round 2: 16:51
Round 3: 33:20
Round 4: 38:16
Round 5: 47:57
That win against amulet was hilarious.
I was screaming “EXHAUSTION!!!”
I didn't get the cryptic on the titan. Why was he able to counter it through the cavern of souls?
@@federicoscutti3769 He had to filter the cavern mana into the mega forest in order to get to 6. It loses the 'can't be countered' when you filter it.
@@giles4565 oh sure lol.. Thank you
@@benjnorris57 Haha same here!
As soon as you drew exchaustion at 32:50 I'm like yelling "you JUST said they have to pay for pact!"
well he just could have taken that from graveyard with one of his sanctuaries instead of another time walk.
Me too - this is what sent me to the comments - figured for sure I was missing something when he started talking about decking himself and not having the Chandra as a wincon..

I was proud of myself for seeing that before LSV said it >:D
59:44 "Jace the Mind Sculptor... That is one hell of a magic card"... Truer words have never been spoken.
Darkogazza meh, I end up siding him out most matches
... Better Than All!!!
I have been eagerly anticipating this video since the second I saw LSV the list and results it put up.
This might be the single sweetest deck in the entire game in any format right now.
Fun fact: The Chandra in the thumbnail isn't in the deck.
Edit: They have since edited the thumbnail with the correct Chandra. Should've left it for the meme.
I’m bummed too cause she’s a pretty good wincon. I would have liked to see if she’s just too expensive or if she would work
@@RA-xz9sy She requires your opponent to have upkeeps to do damage though
@@Kryptnyt I mean take 100 turns pass turn op takes 100
Dylan Yeats thats not how it wo4ks. Opp gets not an extra turn for every one you had.
Kryptnyt lol damn you right 😂
That filthy Exhaustion win. How does he keep getting away with it?
When LSV's 2nd grade teacher scolded him about needing to learn to take turns...LSV rebelled and decided to take ALL the turns!
32:55 LSV, the guy trolling so much he wins without anticipating it. Priceless.
This deck should be called "Fires of Exhaustion."
th3giv3r no
Savior the Fires
cody h Savor*
It's wild that in this league, LSV took down two mtgo endbosses: doomswitch and yamakiller
That pact win was priceless
Also Mystic Sanctuary is insane with fetches.
Yes, I agree with lsv when he said (not in this video) why did they need to make this an island?
It's so unnecessary.
@@helderboymh I mean if they didn't make it an island it would be a pretty bad magic card

lsv: hey guys, i just brewed this *5-0 a league*
me: hey guys, i just brewed this *1-2 resigns a league*
Same.
I just built it and I'm 2-0
me: plays top deck of the format *0-3 drops*
At 15:00 there is a lethal line with Chandra ult, cast one of the three mana spells off fires, cast cryptic bouncing fires and then the third spell for three mana. Cool deck and I appreciate the quality content!
I love how excited LSV is about Magic in this video.
Awesome video! I had a fun turns list using many of the same cards but with As Fortold for the engine to break savor the moment and abuse the suspend cards, ancestral vision and wheel of fate. Fires seems so much better for that!
Please bring more of this deck!
I love this deck. Seems like a really neat new take on the 'Tuns' archetype. Could be my "Sleeve Up" for my local events next month.
14 : 50 tremenda jugada muestra que el mazo tiene más herramientas que sus versiones anteriores Luis eres excelente jugador saludos desde chile
gracias y saludos desde Denver!
I love that yall went back and changed the Thumbnail you actually be there 😂 Had Awakened Inferno up there but now it's the right Chandra
That whole turn I was screaming at my computer - Exhaustion and pass!! lol, glad it ended up going that way.
I'm so baffled that cycle is fetchable, as if blue fetches thanks to brainstorm and jave weren't already among the strongest lands in magic.
Bouncing your own Mystic Sanctuary to put Time Warp on top was beautiful.
Don't forget that Fires of Invention restricts you to casting spells on your turn, not just at sorcery speed. There was a moment in one of the games where you cast time warp and howling mine through fires of invention with a dictate in hand. Cast the dictate on your own upkeep there to get a card immediately!

I think it's because she's such a toolbox. Nonsense decks need glue, not bombs. Short on cards? Nbd. Mana? Have some! Win condition? Right here baby.
The exhaustion line was serious gas
This is the coolest deck in modern now.
I was screaming exhaustion pass the turn lol
same here! so happy he cast the exhaustion even if he didn't realize it would win him the game.
32:50 just as planned
I could see narset’s reversal being a strong card in this deck, can be a piece of early interaction or you can use it on your own time warps on a combo turn
This is impressively demoralizing. This made me smile thanks

5 rounds with taking turns in just over an hour, that is some efficient play! Of course games go much faster when it is solitaire.
Cryptic seems bad with fires but it acts as time warps when it's out because you can bounce mystics. So it's good pre and post fires!
It's cool to see commons making it into the older formats
15:30 you should have activated castle before draw step. Awesome deck!
This deck is infernal! Love it!
Not that it matters. But in round one, you can use the castle on your upkeep to scry 2 to ensure you draw a good spell since you had fires.
I run 4 mind stones, lets you go off turn 3 and gives you a card draw without casting a spell.
Interesting, that doesn’t sound bad
That's a lot of cards. What do you take out?
@@RiKSh4w spirit guides and bolts. Bolts are in the sideboard
@@DrewPeacocksmith yea I like Mindstone more than Simian, but Mindstone gets stopped by anti-artifacts from the sideboard. Simian is hard to stop.

can we get more leagues with this? i loved it
Exhaustion into Pact is one of the funnier ways I've seen a game of Magic end.
Have you considered a singleton Meloku to be able to recur sanctuaries, as well as provide a kill?
She feels like a win more card as she does nothing if you aren't going off.
30:40 if LSV got back “exhaustion” and cast it and passed, he would have won right? Because opponent did “Summoners Pact”?
Edit: I just finished watched … he won like that unwittingly 🙄 HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT!! 🤣
19:42 "They get the first h-OOOwl" hahaha that cracked me up
That win against amulet will surely show up in MTG top 5
I was yelling at the 31min mark about summoners pact at my computer watching this and my digs got all worried like something was wrong.
This looks like an actually fun combo deck that doesn't need a perfect hand to win. Maybe having a breeding pool and a bunch of Veil of Summers would be nice, the deck looks really rough versus discard.
Why? They're not pressuring you if they're making you discard and then you have multiple cantrips and card draw to get back into it
@@myztik5716 if they turn 1 discard away your interaction and turn 3 lily youre kinda screwed, you can't bolt her so if you can't counter her it's pretty much game unless you top deck like a god

you may have thought lands were just lands, but what if I told you they were actually time walks? hmmm?
14:38 awesome
Sweet deck
That was a bloodbath.
My reaction after most of the games - 'Luis he has a family, just let him die'
This deck is so sick
Why is there no singleton Kefnet the Mindful in this list? It seems like a good fit as a way to continuously reuse Mystic Sanctuary.
Screaming at the screen at @32 min not seeing the line of exhaustion + pass turn xD
This deck is ridiculous
Thoughts on fae of wishes? Pretty bad without fires but it looks so sweet with hollowing mine effects, can wish every turn.
Have you tried the kefnet that bounces lands. I've got a buddy that swears by it since it's a win on that goes infinite.
Against U/W around 16:40. You definitely should have ult’ed Chandra the second time you put time warp on top because it was guaranteed lethal by drawing it with jace and casting it. Obviously didn’t make a difference in the end but don’t want open up a chance to lose a game where you had lethal.

"Also I completely broke modern, oops"

Exhaustion is the new gutshot
The deck list in the description is different thank you play on video.... pls fix
are there good 2 Drops for this deck i think 3 two Drops are not enough
Have you considered using the miracle Time Walk with Mystic Sanctuary?
Temporal Mastery exiles itself, unfortunately
Cryptic command not on the list.? Wrong deck list
I love me some LSV.
Damn this deck is sweet!!!
29:54: You could have just bounced mystic sanctuary and used Mikokoro and played exhaustion... Edit: (still got there anyways).
Lmao at the win in match 2
Have you considered folio of fancies? seems like a perfect howling mine/wincon at 2 mana
It costs so much mana though. Just to equal one turn with Mine you'd need to spend an additional 2 mana. Folio gets good once you have the Fires in play, but before the Fires comes along it's a lot worse.
Put 1UUU Jace in the deck, in case you accidentally deck yourself, you can turn it into a win.
Are the walkers your only win cons?
What are the snow lands for? Skred or Scrying Sheets?
Exhaustion plus summoners pack 😂😂😂
What do you think about playing one batterskull in this as an attack option that works through savor the moment?
Sounds... bad? This deck really doesn't need a 5 Mana card that's off the combo. This is Modern, just because this deck powered through a great 5-0 on video doesn't mean it's not on the clunky end already and that would make it clunkier.

That Exhaustion win was hilarious though.
Is this a top tier deck? And if so, how likely is it to survive any bannings?
it's not
Is the only win con in this deck the Chandra?
Jace is a win con too
You put the wrong Chandra as the thumbnail
Lsv is audible chocolate.
It didn't matter but I personally wouldn't have scooped against that Emry deck G1, just set a stop at the end step and f6'd.

There's a decent chance they could just take a setup turn and try to go for it the next one, which you might not have given them. Great league still
They only have to cast the Bauble 19 times and attack with a 20 power Emry. They don't have to take any risks to win that turn.
They don't need to draw any cards. Casting the bauble 20 times is enough.
