More Frogtide! Toxic Deluge is amazing in Modern right now! | MTGO

[@paulmcclain642]

Just got the pieces for this deck, have played against it a couple times. Things I learned from watching you: Harbinger is way better than I expected. Drown is probably a cut. Might need to add another Pierce. Great video!

[@schnuckelpeter]

Haven't watched the whole video yet, but I love that Feed the Cycle grows Murktide and clears the path at the same time.

[@Modest_PhD]

I love that Dimir is a thing again in Modern.

[@danismynewname]

Love the frog content

[@josephloeb9728]

they call me john frog

[@pipboy17]

Archmage charm in 2024? Oh my days i think im in love

[@taylorbruning7287]

Frog-Tide is the best Tide

[@nicplz]

Frog fly. Opponent d1e.

[@m.wagner7008]

Thanks a lot ❤

[@formifrommirrah]

personally, however, I think that frogtide will dominate modern, simply changing the cards based on the meta… it's such a versatile deck that you can do anything with it

[@Bolasaur]

At 32:48 if you discarded then you would have had two lethal attackers in the air, which would win through push and bowmaster, anyhow they also could have had soul spike or something so you probably were right

[@nathanlothamer4570]

Which do you prefer, inquisition or consider?

[@AndreaMengucci]

Consider

[@joe.5103]

Iok is nice sometimes. Would have had zero chance game 1 without it but definitely a liability in other matchups

[@XenoGuru]

The only thing I changed when trying this deck was to remove the two archmages charms and used Siphon Insight. I stole some pretty good cards from opponents

[@Keylime_Pi3]

Thoughts on Inquisition? I go back and forth on it currently. Feels great to grab a piece of interaction before playing frog or murk, but otherwise feels super dead

[@tacotuesday458]

Not the biggest fan of inquisition either. Feels so bad having one going against Tron etc.

[@AndreaMengucci]

I dislike discard spells

[@schnuckelpeter]

I guess you have to think about it the other way around: A bad spell is a good spell to discard. 😂 I personally find myself in a spot where I don't want to discard anything to frog. An Inquisition is most likely an instant discard.

[@Christjs27]

May be a necessary evil against Boros Energy and it's not the worst against Nadu or Jeskai Control. Otherwise, in a deck like this, not a fan either. Worst case, it pumps the Frog.

[@XenoGuru]

@Christjs27 It's too bad Dread of Night isn't legal in Modern. It would crush energy fast if they couldn't find a response

[@joe.5103]

Would you play Thoughtseize in an irl event since there would be more Nadu and less Energy Aggro?

[@AndreaMengucci]

No

[@Justiceinall]

You think Kaito Shizuki is any good in these lists? 3 mana is a lot but drawing an extra card every turn is strong.

[@AndreaMengucci]

No too expensive for modern

[@tacotuesday458]

Mengu, thoughts on main board surgical extraction for the next 2 weeks? 2 main 2 side?

[@AndreaMengucci]

No

[@Christjs27]

Why? For what matchup? Really don't want card disadvantage like that in a deck like this.

[@tacotuesday458]

@@Christjs27 thinking it would be okay against Boros/Mardu, Nadu, and Goryos but losing life and sometimes being a dead card to draw into does seem mediocre in the long run

[@tacotuesday458]

@@AndreaMengucci thank you for the god tier response mengu

[@SchollksTV]

Saw some lists using Tamiyo, do you think it's bad in this archetype?

[@AndreaMengucci]

@@SchollksTV it s ok (check my past veedeos with this deck too)

[@Christjs27]

Not if Boros Energy is popular near you. Yuta said via is X (Twitter) that in his testing, it's bad vs Phlage.

[@TandemTuba]

Mengu, do you think RW/Mardu takes the crown once Nadu gets the axe? Or is Nadu keeping what would otherwise beat RW/Mardu down?

[@AndreaMengucci]

Yeah it ll be tier1 alongside tron and necro

[@Elve87]

Phlage is unbelievable enemy did lot of mistakes and won G2 just with a card

[@rotyboty7046]

Why is counterspell bad against boros?

[@NoahBeerssancho]

Im guessing because they can double spell so easily

[@tmac6]

Spending 2 mana to counter a 1 or 2 mana card is not a winning line

[@AndreaMengucci]

Reactive on stack isnt good vs a deck with lots of one drop

[@sergiocristanchosanchez3839]

'Thoughtseize is just bad' is probably the worst take I've ever heard from Mengu... Most of the time he's on point, but come on.

[@AndreaMengucci]

Ok
