I love when innocuous little cards like this wind up doing goofy things. Like, why yes, on second thought a cantriping draw engine that synergizes with a wide variety of alternate cost cards *does* sound like it'd be pretty strong!
I loved that deck so much I went back and watched the video on The Streaming Site. If you posted a video unedited, I would be eager to watch again and label the matches.
This is a really cool card. I like how it synergises with cost reduction and alternative costs. It's really charming and only really comes up in eternal formats when critical masses of cards form.
Hi, my name is Fury. I can have an undying trigger too! You evoke me, exiling a card, then cast a card to give me undying. Thats 3 cards :( thankfully, the whole evoke thing makes it effectively cost 1 card :D
@@crazykhespar8487 Scamming elementals is a fun rules interaction. The problem with pitch elementals is the evoke cost being 0 mana. Fury would still have a powerful effect, but it wouldn't be free.
nah, up the beanstalk is at a perfectly reasonable power level for uncommon, it's all the mana bending bs that makes it really good, not the card itself.
Card idea for Modern Horizons 3: The Onest Ring - 5 colorless. It's the One Ring, but if you cast it from your hand, you may choose to pay 4 colorless instead.
Oh wow, another deck that makes the evoke elementals better while also enforcing the idea that to be viable you need to spend half of your mortgage on the mana base
Honestly, combining bean with Lorien’s Revealed is much more exciting than drifter, imo. 5 mana draw 3-5 pretty consistently off a card that can cycle for a land in the early game has been pretty smexy
I got a bunch from a prerelease pack and threw them in some decks on a whim to test, and it turns out that even outside of Constructed it consistently draws you another 2 cards in the right deck. One card now and two cards later is good for two mana, and it's relatively safe from removal since it's already paid itself off.
I REALLY think the design team has their head up their ass designing way too many cards with Commander in mind and then completely forgetting that other formats also exist, and that if they make their card draw engines cheap and powerful enough, they WILL see play outside of Commander (looking at you 4 color Omnath and The One Ring)
I don't think an aggressive deck would be a solution. Since the 4-5 color value piles will just pitch for a fury or solitude to stay alive and recoup the cards later
the 4/5 color decks didn't take off until the mh2 evoke elemental. THEY are the problem. Not even 4 color omnath was enough to make 4 color WORTH IT to play long term
Instantly replaces itself, doesnt force you to pay life, stacks in a beneficial way in multiples, costs less to purchase (relevant to the metagame), draws at instant speed (assuming you cast an instant) etc... yes, much better.
5 months ago, ragavan was an issue. Now there's bowmasters. The One ring Is an issue. Now there's beatstalk piles. Eternal formats are changing everyday like i do with my underwear.
Okay but here me out: if this causes a shift towards higher mana cost cards, I see that as a good thing rather than anything beyond turn 4 drops being barely playable.
Please consider lowering the volume of the music to 1/3 the current volume, it's loud enough to complete with your voice. edit: okay maybe it's just loud during the Cool Stuff Inc part.
I saw Beanstalk + Solitude/Binding in action last friday. Scary, but I feel like it still needs a specific kind of deck to do its thing, especially a green based deck. And the game at least looks like it is still a game. The One Ring on the other hand shows up everywhere and stops the game from being a game.
Blood Moon is the best card ever printed in Magic, because its the only card single-handedly carrying an entire format on its shoulders. Moon is the sole reason that you don't match up against a 4+ color money pile 15 games in a row in Modern. Blood Moon is the glue holding Modern together, and you are a beneficiary of its existence even if you've never put it in a deck.
New format idea. 'THE COUNT' 60 card. Up to 5 of each card allowed including basics. NO COMMANDER. You can only play cards that reference the word 'commander' in the rules text of the card wether it be an ability that doesn't work (seeing as you don't have a commander), reminder text, or the ability refers to the name of the card and it has commander in it. Also you can play any land from throughout magic. Banned cards Dark Depths and You're in Command (test card).
That sounds terrible and uninspired. It sounds like a format trying to prove some silly opinion (Commander is somehow making the game worse, I guess), rather than trying to be fun or interesting. Not counting lands and the test card "You're in Command", there are 230 cards that meet the given criteria. Out of those, only 8 don't have it in reference to the commander format, most of which have it in their name which is said in the rules text (Royal Warden has it as a flavor word for an ability). Additionally, out of those 230 cards there are 37 that won't do anything other than sit on the board as an artifact or enchantment, or resolve without doing anything (backgrounds plus 8 other cards; could be a couple more depending on whether you count discarding your hand for no benefit or just being an equipment with no bonus as not doing anything).
Granted it be a format for people who are not into commander and are tired of all the suped-up other formats. But I really think you're neglecting the over 900 utility lands in the game. Not counting the ixalan flip lands, but not discounting the mdfc lands.
@@michaelnovak3417 That's the thing though, lands would likely be the focus of the format, since the number of available lands is almost four times the number of available spells (disregarding playability of those spells and lands, which would still make it around equal amounts at least). You may as well just make a format that only consists of lands, which would be a much more interesting premise, and provide a clear idea for what may eventually be considered too strong. Like, Dark Depths is super slow, but Cloudpost, Tron lands, and Sol lands, make it super easy to pay the cost. You can dislike Commander all you want, but making a format with the premise of using cards that don't work well outside of it isn't interesting. Formats built on being the antithesis of other formats rarely last long, if at all, since they don't offer anything other than disdain for a well-established format.
How the fuck did you go through this whole video and not say "flick the bean" or the like even once!? Vince must have been replaced by one of those aliens found in Mexico
British man loves beans, big surprise.
Beans foh breakfast AYE WOT
Bangers, Beans and Mash! Oy Guvna

I can’t believe out of all the bean jokes nobody has called it the “Flicker the bean” deck
Bean Flicker is a bit beantter imo
Well Yorion is banned in Modern so…
Trigger the glitterflitter
was thinking the same thing lol
Most men aren't familiar with this sort of lingo, and some of them it's because they're unfamiliar with what this lingo is associated with.
I was so excited a green bean ramp deck might be doing well in modern that I forgot the evoke elementals existed
What Up the Beanstalk is doing to Domain decks in lower power formats is also pretty hilarious.
When I first saw up the beanstalk, It never occurred to me that fury and solitude are both 5 cmc... oooof edit leyline binding and force too? Oooooof
WhAt dOeS CmC mEaNs????? uR wOrDs mAkEs nO sEnSeS!!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤨🤨🤨😌😡😂😉🤣😌😏😟😅
So it sounds like these beans were worth the cow they were traded for
Alright boys we did it, FoW is now Cryptic Command. We can go home now
I loved that deck so much I went back and watched the video on The Streaming Site. If you posted a video unedited, I would be eager to watch again and label the matches.
On top of that, the Affinity deck!!!!!!!!! I want to play that one so badly!
YEEEEEEES YOU'RE POSTING THE VIDEO OF THE AFFINITY ONE YEEEEEEEEES
Legacy also gets yorion. Yorion itself triggers beans and then flickers beans for maximum beanage
The deck would have to be called “flick the bean” right?

Who could've ever seen that happening? 🤦♂️
Cast Yorion, flick the bean?
😍
I'll never say anything else now lol
Jeskai delver occasionally goes turn 1 delver, turn 2 flip delver cast forth eorlingas X=0. The monarch clause on the backend is very worth it
The fact that this card will give rise to a more pedestrian use of the phrase "flick the bean", unnerves me....
You can bet your ass if WotC actually playtested this shit Up would be a pack-pushing 40-60$ mythic.
Imagine if they had a future league
Doubt it. Not flashy enough to be a mythic.
Eh, it is a reasonable uncommon, for draft.
nah, up the beanstalk is at a perfectly reasonable power level for uncommon, it's all the mana bending bs that makes it really good, not the card itself.
@@MrPiotrV agreed.
Card idea for Modern Horizons 3:
The Onest Ring - 5 colorless.
It's the One Ring, but if you cast it from your hand, you may choose to pay 4 colorless instead.
Finally, 8ring becomes possible
A more likely idea: a pitch-cast The One Ring.
Bean piles also fold to blood moon. So mono red prison would probably increase its metagame percentage.
I’m hoping for a blue moon revival myself!
Get destroyed by force of vigor
and draw one from up the beanstalk in the process ^^
@@feritperliare2890
Except Blood Moon isn't a pitch-cast spell, so it's unplayable.
@@jemm113 blue moon?
"Whenever you cast" also avoids counterspells other then etb draw trigger

Oh, please, don’t let this be a new magnamhut.
Yet another way to break Helium Squirter...
Could see something like this creating a rules change for discounted cards cmc on the stack.
That said it looks fun
Cantriping Force of will..... sure thats fine
8:32 so it flickers the bean?
I won’t say “no” to the return of cruiser magic. :3
I REALLY think the design team has their head up their ass designing way too many cards with Commander in mind and then completely forgetting that other formats also exist, and that if they make their card draw engines cheap and powerful enough, they WILL see play outside of Commander (looking at you 4 color Omnath and The One Ring)
This was probably designed with limited in mind, more so than Commander.
"Ah yes, I remember it well! Bean Flicker Summer..."
I don't think an aggressive deck would be a solution.

Eorlingas is when Pooh, Piglet, and Tigger get together to toss Eeyore's salad to brighten his day. 🤫
Wow TY for that deck tech!
Surprised that you aren't running any of the "March of" cards, like March of Otherworldy Light
love flickering the bean
the 4/5 color decks didn't take off until the mh2 evoke elemental. THEY are the problem. Not even 4 color omnath was enough to make 4 color WORTH IT to play long term
Maybe they should print wasteland in Modern Horizons 3 🤔
Well, I saw this card and thought "Wow, this is gonna go great in my Kiora sea monsters commander deck!" xD
Beans and Bring to Light.
Omnath Locus of Creation is coming back in spirit at least lol
I was thinking the exact same thing when you said a Lingus
Up the beanstalk would be a lot less broken if there wasn't a design philosophy that allows for free casting and cost reducing spells.
"if 5 or more mana were spent to cast that spell, ..."
this clause would have been enough to fix it
Seems very good with a lot of the most broken stuff in modern, but I do wonder if its really that good in legacy when Sylvan Library exists
Instantly replaces itself, doesnt force you to pay life, stacks in a beneficial way in multiples, costs less to purchase (relevant to the metagame), draws at instant speed (assuming you cast an instant) etc... yes, much better.
This is arguably better than sylvan library, since it draws a card before getting blown up by prismatic ending
MH Incarnations: the Dragon Rulers of Magic.
More like spilling the beans because you’re drawing so many cards!
Deck list please!
Up the beanstalk!!
HEY. THIS FELLA PLAYIN' BEANS
Twenty years from now this will be the new rystic study
Up the Beanstalk is also my favourite Carry On film.
"Bean sandwich" is what I propose the name should be, no I will not explain why
Thanks
The One Ring is so last week. Sauron all bout dem beans now.
So with yorrion you are flicking the bean?
Omnath looking real good

Now there's bowmasters.
The One ring Is an issue.
Now there's beatstalk piles.

someone build a new version of Full English Breakfast!!!
It really is just the culmination of all the broken stuff being printed in the last few years, the beans just tipped them into absurdity
Okay but here me out: if this causes a shift towards higher mana cost cards, I see that as a good thing rather than anything beyond turn 4 drops being barely playable.
Ah. Eldraine and Green cards breaking formats. Name a more iconic duo
Urza block and artifacts ?
This man needs toast food tokens for his beans

Sooooo ponza is halfway playable again?
PK: "Fury is a completely reasonable card pre-bean"
You can't prove I said that.

Easy answer, print Wasteland into Modern!

get them beeeeans bro
