Reality chip seems a little bit like a worse future sight. Splitting the mana cost up across two turns can be nice, but the fact that it makes it vulnerable to creature removal is big, and just opens the card up to a lot of counter play. I did like seeing it go off when it worked though. Tons of fun.
I fell in love with the chip during spoilers, and built a pretty rad commander deck out of the Jellyfish Equipment. The card is already seeing some modern play and looks surprisingly powerful. I can't wait to see where else it pops up!
Yeah I got the feeling that Reality Chip could have been Faithless Looting/blue cantrips, maybe chromatic star, or something of that ilk and been more useful. It's a cool card, but 5 mana is a big investment in a 9 land deck.
At 11:27 you could've sacced the Fiery Islet and drawn the Echo. This way you get to dig deeper and save one mana when flashbacking with the LED. Nontheless very interesting deck and keep up the great content.
cracking LED in response to gamble would have just discarded your burning wish, so you´d have to get echo there and pray (which wouldn´t work cause of voidwalker, so you couldn´t crack LED there)
I think a pivot into creatures like wild cantor, tinder wall, and Burning-Tree Emissary that refund themselves, over cards that can't be cashed in later like ornithopter might be a good idea for this deck. The downside is that with tinder wall and wild cantor, your reality chip now costs 6 mana, instead of 5, to get online, but I think that's a good trade-off for having creatures that aren't completely useless without a reality chip or a storm payoff. You could even steal some pauper tech and play reaping the graves in the wishboard. I think hurting your artifact count for chrome mox is a somewhat real downside, but pivoting out of that angle might help the deck a bit anyway, it felt like 4 was the wrong number of chome mox for this brew. (btw decklist is the wrong link)
This deck rarely utilizes reality chip. Although not sure there is a good shell to optimize it. Chip needs ward 1 to be better, as is may be too weak for the format
While we’re on red Storm lists, have you thought about Invoke calamity in Red storm, even if it was in modern/pioneer? Especially since you should be able to chain invoke calamity into Hazoret’s fury into more calamity!
My cEDH Elsha of the Infinite deck essentially works like this, Birgi + Chip configured on her + Sensei's Divining Top is a variation on the same Top Storm infinite combo where you draw your whole deck, then pitch it to GY with LED for Underworld Breach shenanigans (even though thats banned in Legacy, RIP)
I think you won one game with The Reality Chip and got frustrated that it couldn’t imprint on Chrome Mox in three. 🙁 Without it in the deck, you could play baubles instead of Ornithopter/Memnite, so it seems like this isn’t the perfect home for it. 😭
These combo decks are good but their so boring. And everyone who plays em can't stand to see a game till the end. When you concede you still are loosing lol they act like their winning the game w the concede button.... Online play is ruining mtg.
I fixed the decklist in the video description. Sorry about that!
32:02 that start of the match was something else.
I was round 1 opp. Sorry, Phil and viewers.
Family comes first *every time.*
We only have love for family oriented folks around these parts. Don't be sorry
Reality Chip gives so much value

I think the main appeal over Futuresight is that it's 2 Mana + LED. That being said, a playset is probably not super necessary
That Blazing Shoal infect seems so much fun

Expect to see it again in 2-3 weeks! I've got a Sai version being discussed in the Discord right now.

This is so 'bad' its actually good

Dauthi Voidwalker is in play
@@peterhattemer1694 Oh, missed that. Thanks.
Alternate title: My opponent makes me want to keep gambling
Love the videos always the highlight of my day
This deck needs a fun name about chips. Like storm 'n chips or doritos. I dunno just making comments
Snack attack to stick to the legacy deck name theme of being obscure and misleading.
Wish and Chips

I thought that Reality Chip would be to cumbersome to get online!😱

Cool deck!

Hey Phil, love the video so far, but you have the wrong deck list in the description. Could you update it pls ❤️
I'll write myself a note and get that updated after work!
While we’re on red Storm lists, have you thought about Invoke calamity in Red storm, even if it was in modern/pioneer? Especially since you should be able to chain invoke calamity into Hazoret’s fury into more calamity!
I haven't given the card any thought, tbh. Maybe Bryant has?
@@ThrabenUniversity I hadn’t even checked his channel lately, he probably has, thanks!
No glimpse of nature shenanigans? Is this even a thrabenU combo vid without the glimpse???
That deck returns as soon as I can get Kappa Cannoneer.
@@ThrabenUniversity I think that card is just a fabricated mtgo myth

cEDH has some wild things in it...
Hey Phil, sorry I think the decklist link is wrong
I'll try to remember to fix that when I get home. Thanks!

The donor is working on another version that has Sai. Sai gives the artifacts another way to be good.
@@ThrabenUniversity Sai works even better with baubles too, though. T_T
So watching this whole thing basically reality chip is just dead weight in the deck.

Idk, I think online play kept MTG alive during the pandemic. It deserves at least a little credit!
