Hi Something that helped me alot into the premodern format and still does today when Brewing decks is the premodern websites search engine. Very clean and easy to use. And the printning on the cards Are the original ones. Are you plantning on making something similar for this? This would be the gateway into this format Always great to see your videos!

We have a tool that allows you to see whether the deck is legal for now, but I have no idea how to code a search engine. We are 5 days into the format, maybe if things grow somebody will be interested in putting something like that together, we will see!

I really enjoy formats that dont like always change, and with such a cool and massive cardpool. Especially since magic in general it feels like has sped up alot during fire and even if the pushed-ness has chilled it still is way faster. As I find fixed cardpool formats a lot more fun to brew, as you really learn what cards you can tech for, and what sideboard tricks you can play and so on. So I have been really hoping for people to start to push a modern variant that isnt like modern pure or w/e that was called as even tho I love Throne theres just such a massive difference in card design now even outside of direct to modern.

@fpawluszmtg2 күн бұрын
Yeah, you can take it other places. Personally I think Fatal Push is great for a format like this cause it makes it easier to answer Exarch to help bring Twin down a notch, as well as having good removal for Tarmogoyf and other potentially problematic dudes.
@jesussuperstar34062 күн бұрын
@@fpawluszmtg Imo twin is very polarising player experience. Winning w it feels undeserved like 1 out of 5 games, and losing to it feel like cheese. KCI could be dreadful to play against but it eats a lot of timer in modo, and combo pod has accessible dedicated hate via cage. On the other hand twin is just an instant speed removal check, which is actually unfun.

What does "fire" mean here?
@fpawluszmtg3 күн бұрын
Good question! "FIRE" was a design philosophy that WotC started using while designing new Magic sets. It effectively meant they wanted to push the power level of cards quickly and consistently, to the point where they'd render previous staples of the format obsolete. This began in the set War of the Spark (which is the very first set not included in Pre-FIRE), and continues pretty much to this day, which has made the current Modern format effectively rotate whenever they launch the newest direct to Modern set.

Honestly, the banned list should be empty to start, then iterated on monthly for the first year. Many of the cards on the initial banned liat weren't banned pre-FIRE design, SSG, DRS, SSR, KCI come to mind. I would love to play Ad Nauseum or Eggs in PreF Modern, but that's not possible with the current banned list
@fpawluszmtg4 күн бұрын
SSG is NOT currently banned, but on the watch list, so Ad Nauseam is very playable. Regarding the other cards we already know what Eggs or KCI would do to the format, and it's not a play experience than the vast majority of folks would necessarily consider "fun", so the cards that would make those tier 1 decks are preemptively banned. If you wanted to play Eggs you could still do so, with Faith's Reward and Open The Vaults, but Second Sunrise, which would make it much more challenging for the deck to end up so high up in the tier list.
