I just don't see how this deck won't catch a ban in the next 6 months... That being said, everytime I watch this deck I am amazed at the sheer options the deck has. Nice league! Unlucky vs Zoo
Amulet's core is so strong that even being around 10+ years still competes in Modern with 1-2 potential additions in some sets. I love this deck, ordering my foil Nantukos already :) Thanks for the great content man! #AmuLIT
At 16:44 I think you could have went Amulet -> SGC bounce Boseiju -> tap for 6 Mana (3 Amulet triggers so 3U3G) -> Pact -> Titan -> Hanweir + GTurf bouncing GTurf -> 6 Mana (3R3G) -> Haste the Titan (2R3G Floating) -> Pact -> Dryad (floating 1R1G) -> Bestow on the Titan -> extra land drop GTurf Float 6 again -> Copy Titan off landfall trigger -> Every Titan Copy get a Bounce land and non-bounce land which should be +4 Mana and +1 Land. At that point you had 7 more bounce lands in the deck and an arbitrary amount of floated RBGU mana so you can get both copies of Valakut and/or Transmute the TWest into another pact for another Nantuko to bestow on the Dryad. You then still have a hasty Titan, so if you leave one bounce land in the deck you can get it during combat off Titan attack to trigger landfall and make a copy of Dryad during combat. Then post combat you use the Dryad copy's extra land drop to play a bounce land which is infinite mana/damage with the two Valakuts. I may have my math wrong, and you may not even need to copy the Dryad, but I think there was a couple ways to kill him on T4 while he was tapped out.
@@redfacedmenace Ah, for some reason in my head I thought that happened game 1 lol. I was watching the vid in chunks in between work calls. Sick idea for the deck though. So many ways to go crazy with Nantuko. Completely missed that card during spoiler season. Seems like it could work with Golos too. Maybe in that Timeless Amulet Deck Spike was running for a while. Also interacts favorably with Springbloom Druid.
24:39 love that expression and just seeing that win. It seems the new cards really make the deck kind of silly with infinites and stuff. Not sure who at Wizards loves titan so much but its nice to see titan evolve a bit.
May I know why you were able to pay for the pact on 19:26? There were two lands on the battlefield, each time you copy a new dryad you may play a bounce land or Shifting Woodland, but you still have 3 mana on your next upkeep? Thanks!
In the last iteration you don't pick up bounce land, let's say you take back Boseiju, and you have 3 mana on board and still 1 more land drop from the last dryad
What can I say, I live dangerously and yield to having a single amulet in play! It almost always comes back to bite me, but I'm too lazy to click through each trigger when there's only one in play. 90% of the time it's fine, I usually remember to clear autoyields if I play a 2nd Amulet. However, in this case I had autoyielded while planning to combo out with Nantuko/Grazer with the yield on to save time. I didn't expect opp to have Leyline Binding and use it on the grazer combo, of all things. I wasn't even planning on copying Amulet with Mycosynth until they tapped out of Leyline binding. But then I forgot I had yielded to Amulet for the twin combo. xD Very corner case scenario. I think I had lost anyways though, since I actually needed to keep Simic in hand to play for blue mana to transmute for Dryad if the Grazer combo didn't work. Again, I wasn't expecting my opponent to stop the Grazer combo at all -- i guess I didn't realize it would be so threatening to them. xD Edit: OH and of course I didn't realize we wouldn't have another land drop remaining. Again, unfamiliarity with the workings of the twin combo, I didn't realize I had to play the land for turn to kick-start the combo chain!
@redfacedmenace Nantuko enables the same combo in different strategies. Both amulet and Nadu can function without it, but using it just results in an infinite combo every time. So rather than destroy an entire deck by banning something like Nadu, you can just remove the combo piece.
@@mwilke07 I don't yet feel that the Nantuko combo is problematic in Amulet Titan, and certainly the most broken part of the Nadu deck is Shuko "drawing" 2 cards per creature for free, right? So I'd leave Nadu and Nantuko alone and take out Shuko. There's nothing inherently wrong with infinite combos existing, it just depends on how prevalent they are.

I wouldn't be surprised if Amulet saw a ban eventually, but I would be surprised if the card that pushes it over the edge is Nantuko. xD

Titan was Necromentia'd. If we had access to Titan there, there's probably a million ways to win. :)

Extra silliness is good for the soul :)
Matches were so cool to watch ! six and nantuko seems like great additions, as was to be expected
For sure :)
Super fun deck, maybe cut Disciple for Asuza or something
Agreed, Disciple didn't seem all that relevant did it?
@@redfacedmenace yeah Asuza also gives you a new target to go off with nantuko
@LBKayyyy Azusa is legendary, sadly
@redfacedmenace oh yeah forgot that part 🤪
Can't believe you got aspiring spike to concede both games
What can I say? Spike doesn’t like to waste time. :)

@firer98 explained it perfectly :)
@@firer98 Got it! I somehow missed a land drop. Thank you so much
Woahhhhh… I think you found something big!! Nantuko should be a 1 of tho?? 😮
Nooo Auto yields the amulet?!? Rookie mistake 😂

Good thing Splinter Twin is banned
FOR REAL! Thank goodness someone was finally brave enough to say it!
(Please bring back Splinter Twin, I miss it)
Bro’s voice hasn’t dropped yet 😂
I'll drop kick you into next Tuesday :P
Ban nantuko within 6 months because of this and nadu.
You think Nantuko is banworthy? Honestly, if anything is getting banned, I'd say it's either Nadu or (more likely) Shuko.
@redfacedmenace Nantuko enables the same combo in different strategies. Both amulet and Nadu can function without it, but using it just results in an infinite combo every time. So rather than destroy an entire deck by banning something like Nadu, you can just remove the combo piece.
