GW DEATH AND TAXES - "FLICK OF THE WISP" - MODERN MTG GAMEPLAY

[@ErroneousClique]

Ahhh, PK playing D&T is like reminiscing with a long time friend over a great cup of coffee. Soothing like a cool breeze on a warm summer's day but fierce like a ring-tailed lemur climbing up your pant leg.

[@ErroneousClique]

:-D

[@shatzinorris1417]

Oh lord have I missed those gameplays!

[@PleasantKenobi]

Missed them? I do one every week haha. What do you mean?

[@shatzinorris1417]

PleasantKenobi Taxes gameplay, of course!

[@PleasantKenobi]

Oh haha. That's fair.

[@IliaSkyhopper]

5:30 actually you clicked the right enchantment - "When Rancor is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, return Rancor to its owner's hand.". It's just that you were dead anyway. Destroying rancor is the correct play only if you do it with vial during his combat phase and you were still 1 turn away from that.

[@PleasantKenobi]

Thanks for the heads up. When playing, writing, recording and editing I still managed to miss the second half of Rancid meant I was dead. :(

[@alexwaren2030]

but vince, if you had sage'd the rancor, it would have just gone back to his hand to be cast again

[@PleasantKenobi]

I totally missed this.

[@alexwaren2030]

here for you my dude.

[@billable1861]

Oh how I’ve missed these style of videos.

[@PleasantKenobi]

Missed them? I make one every week! What do you mean?

[@billable1861]

PleasantKenobi death and taxes when you are fully in your joyous element

[@starmansuper7514]

You are an inspiration, my dude. I just went 4-0 last night with a deck inspired by you, RB Waste Not. Instead of storm I went with Hollow One and a little 8-rack splash as well in Liliana's Caress. It's a ton of fun to pilot and went the distance beating out two burn decks, Death's Shadow and GW combo. I've got almost all the cards for my own GW D&T build in the mail now. Thanks a ton for your content and keep up the great work!

[@PleasantKenobi]

That's wicked. Hit me up with the Waste Not list!

[@starmansuper7514]

Here you go mate: tappedout.net/mtg-decks/wasted-hollow-not/ It's a bit budget-y since it's in paper and I don't have all the needed cards to iron out the mana base (and I could use more copies of Thoughtseize and Inquisition, probably), but for what it is I'm super happy with how it performed!

[@daemonslayer59able]

Looks like fun! Thanks for posting that.

[@Firelement3000]

wow, yeah really nice deck I might build something similar

[@johnkimpton6824]

Nice video! in the one eldrazi game you flickerwisp arbiter on an empty board to untap him. But you have a path in hand and your opponent is threating tron next turn. If you flick one of your plains that turn it comes back untap and lets you hold up path for any tron stuff he ramps out (he played ugin so didnt matter)

[@anthonygspp3]

awesome vide!! i may have come to your channel because of the bees but i stayed because of the Green and Taxes gameplay :)

[@joshuazagar2005]

Videos like this are always my favorite from you, some good old fashiond Vince playing gw death and taxes or red tron. (Dragonball bees will always be my favorite video from you ever though) Keep up the great stuff!

[@ErroneousClique]

How to play Bogles for Dummies: Step 1) Play a Bogle. Step 2) Put stuff on the Bogle. End tutorial.

[@PleasantKenobi]

Old school fan of the channel knows the original memes. What a lad!

[@RockyOwl]

Praise Cat Jesus! I'm playing a similar list tonight at my shop.

[@RockyOwl]

End result: 0-3 Round 1 - Affinity ROFLStomped me Round 2 - Kiki-Chord out paced me Round 3 - Burn was able to scorch me Still love playing the deck, but tonight was not my night. =/

[@theeechad69]

I always love your jokes and videos about the jokes. Keep up the good work :)

[@piboy6228]

Cool video, nice matches. Glad you are part of the d&t overlords. Nice to see you become affiliate. Love the content Vince

[@soso188]

I made this list for you to look over awhile ago. It needs some work, but im sure you can take it there. The jist of it is a aether vial d&t deck with the devoted druid combo in it for a quick finisher

[@preachingara2423]

Grats on your affiliation!

[@zanemartin455]

Been having pretty good success with mono white Eldrazi and taxes. Cuts out the dependency on the cappy mana base while being able to run many utility lands like mutavualt, sea gate wreckage and sheffet dunes. Currently on a playset or resto's as they're good in the grindy games where 1 for 1 removal is the name of the game. The deck is weaker to more combo decks as I'm down on thought knot and have no tidehollow sculler for early hand attack. Blade splicer and eldrazi displacer are just the perfect unholy union of human artifact and spaghetti monster.

[@PleasantKenobi]

I've played a bit of Monowhite, BW and GW Eldrazi - I think they are all viable. I absolutely love Displacer alongside Wisp and Splicer. It's so, so, so satisfying.

[@Papaconstantopoulos]

Catjesus bless you, Kenobi

[@wardog995]

Yes the cat Jesus has returned to strip mine people to heaven. Great video man

[@PleasantKenobi]

We are back baby.

[@testthewest123]

I like your style of narrating the games. Other creatores are just bearable at 1,5 speed.

[@lachlanjones962]

Flickerwisp is a very fun card. I often play it in EDH.

[@KVmusicprod]

Thank you for using Bongo for your video ! ☺☺

[@PleasantKenobi]

No, thank you for putting fantastic copyright free music out there. You deserve more subs and exposure. I'll certainly work to help with that!

[@wilfredfizz8164]

It would be really interesting to see if you can make some old Extended Decks like Life, Trix(if that isn't missing too many pieces), Ideal or UG Madness work in Legacy. I sadly joined MtG to late, to ever see them during their Hayday but they seem really fun.

[@Wolfenstein3000]

Love your vids man! Ever think about making a Proteus Staff/Polymorph creature cheat modern deck for video shenanigans? You should try it sometime, it's a load of fun and silliness to be had. Just imagine the look on your opponent's face when you staff or polymorph your mutavault or (bl)inkmoth nexus into a progenitus or emrakul and take them to poundtown. XD

[@BrunoCasagrandaNeves]

Holy Cow! This channel is everything I like! Love at first bear!!

[@PleasantKenobi]

Welcome to the fray, friend.

[@louisdooner1497]

Awesome Video PleasantKenobi. Keep going please.

[@literallyaghosttpoc]

Always a pleasure to watch.

[@anosmianAcrimony]

Gah, that m1 g3 Flickerwisp play was BEAUTIFUL

[@Razorjuice]

A video on Red and white death and taxes with kiki would be sweet!

[@INFERNO552]

Dat wisp on the hyena umbra play, I think I got a semi chub there

[@clauderodrigue6461]

God I love the crusader. What dependable lad.

[@Buzzmannen]

since we're doing the classic vince decks, can we have another mono red tron video?

[@willb5658]

I would love to watch you play Hollow One!

[@TerrySnipers]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHH. YEEEEEESSSS. Good show.

[@Ccase629]

What do you think of Shalai as as card in the board for this deck?

[@thomasclifford3436]

Whats your opinion on the best version of death and taxes? Looking to truly invest in a deck and all ive got know are a 100$ elf one and a crappy 20 dash for fun one and D&T looks like a whole lot of fun cuz of the interactions. Want to get more into the modern game. Thanks in advance

[@RunMan327]

Someday I will finally get over my hangup of buying Vials and build a Taxes deck like I'm meant to.

[@smellthelotus]

I used to have this deck back in 2014

[@dtoffano]

Field of ruin x tecedgyboy, which is better for taxes?

[@therty_]

What about the excavator version? Think it's worth running or no?

[@anosmianAcrimony]

I feel like you could do with a Phyrexian Revoker somewhere in the 75 to help deal with Liliana, the Last Hope.

[@PleasantKenobi]

I agree completely.

[@gianmariacapuzzo2383]

Voice of resurgence and Gaddok Teeg? where did u left them?

[@Skullkilling]

I was going to dislike the video and comment that the deck looks bad but then watched you smash that jund and tron matchup, well played.

[@PleasantKenobi]

Thanks for your honesty, and welcome to the channel.

[@GalaticCyrus]

It's always a good day to witness fair magic.

[@PleasantKenobi]

Flickerwisp is a fair and balanced Magic card.

[@anthonypeszek2497]

Somehow missed this video. You should play RW DnT with resto AND 1 or 2 copies of everyone's favorite mirror breaker.

[@PleasantKenobi]

I will eventually. It's all about what time I have available.

[@silicontoadmt6975]

at the 7 min mark when hyena umbra comes back into play is that a error? can someone explain how you got his enchantment

[@starmansuper7514]

Flickerwisp exiled the Hyena Umbra mid-combat. His Bogle died and he had no creature to cast second main phase, so at the end of turn when the enchantment returns to play it *has* to enchant a creature. As he had none of his own, the opponent was forced to put it on one of PK's creatures.

[@TheTexasDice]

Flickerwisp, what a true pal that guy is

[@PleasantKenobi]

Best friends till the end.

[@karmajarrule]

Thought about ramunap excavator to replay ghost quarters to ruin your opponents days? Ive also seen extra polite people run asuza too :P

[@PleasantKenobi]

I actually played him in the list before. RAMUNAP EXCAVATOR IS HERE - Modern GW Death and Taxes - MTG Gameplay kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWe9hWusfZp8iNU

[@XUnsafeNormalX]

As some one who just picked up this deck, thanks for the video. Y u no Voice of Resurgence?

[@zacharylindahl]

These videos are the best

[@IAmInAllYourBase]

Even if you had blown up Rancor, it would have gone back to his hand. Praise be to Cat Jesus.

[@chronoflect]

Hnnf, dat Ugin flicker.

[@Iann525]

Could we please get your take on death and taxes mixed with tron #deathandtron

[@sidasdf]

mono five colour Because, you know, the *most powerful* thing you could do with 7 mana is multiple hatebears.

[@daemonslayer59able]

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAYUUUUUMMMM!!!!!! The plays in game three!!! Talk about squeaky-bum-hole-time! Even my pence was clenched tightly there! So good! Your videos get better everyday. This is what I have to say to all those poopie-heads out there, "PBBBBBBBBTTTTHHHHPPPTHH!!!..... *plop*" Fan-fucking-tastic mate.

[@fernandodiaz9064]

I'm also a Cat Jesus follower! Praise the Lord! I play a RW D&T variant with red splashes for cards like Magus of the Moon, or Fulminator Mage, Kiran humping Pia and bolts. Could you make one that suits your taxing expertise?

[@StarskySTARS]

isnt the song actually "ride on time"?

[@PleasantKenobi]

Yes. Haha.

[@GroverClevelandFRRLZ]

Flickerwisp is a TOP LAD

[@williamwitt5696]

How come in all your G/W taxes deck you don’t run voice of resurgence or loxodon another? Just curious on your opinion of the cards

[@PleasantKenobi]

I just don't think they do enough in this deck at present time. They don't disrupt your opponent enough.

[@williamwitt5696]

PleasantKenobi working on the deck myself trying to find the best list I can and your videos are helping a lot!! appreciate it!

[@ozsenpai7642]

Can you play D&T without white? ;)

[@Alvenon]

Good music!

[@TheRealHanzan]

Freakking love your content ❤

[@PleasantKenobi]

And I love your views. Thanks mate. One love.

[@TheRealHanzan]

PleasantKenobi please mister, may i have more g/w taxes in modern? ❤

[@MrGarruk123]

5:13 but Rancor is returned either way so it doesn't matter

[@PleasantKenobi]

Yep. !punt

[@Twineandribbon]

Loved it

[@OwenWai]

I love these vids !!!!

[@morris9703]

Isn't both vial and company in the same deck generally wrong?

[@PleasantKenobi]

No. Why do you ask this? Company needs a critical mass of creatures. The exact numbers elude me, but IIRC it's around 26.

[@morris9703]

PleasantKenobi I heard saffron olive say that multiple times

[@morris9703]

He says that if your playing company you don't want to see vial and if your playing vial you need more creatures something like that

[@PleasantKenobi]

I simply don't agree with that statement, Vial and Path are your only non-cocoable cards.

[@novelty4004]

Taaaaaaaxes.

[@maxanc8046]

Noicee.......more !

[@apeofjustice7109]

Is that Mrs PleasantKenobi we get to see in that photo of You?

[@PleasantKenobi]

Yep. :)

[@dingding12321]

Look at the flick of that wisp

[@ekkochronobreaker671]

what a lad

[@quintclobo4448]

IT'S BEEN A WOW

[@matthewgallaway3675]

Oooohhh, you bears of hate!

[@burnpisces7733]

I love this fucking deck.

[@SOnZofHate]

I've been waiting ever since dubious challenge.

[@PleasantKenobi]

Are you asking for me to make a Dubious Challenge deck? I don't feel I can do much with it that SaffronOlive hasn't already. Well, other than memes.

[@chronojack7547]

you can never have too much of the memes, so don't let our memes be dreams ;-;

[@itsjustj6205]

Top bants sir

[@PleasantKenobi]

I am the Archbishop of Banterbury.

[@itsjustj6205]

be carful don't wanna end up in Bantanimo bay

[@willmeibusch1075]

If you hate your opponent cast things so much, tell them no. Play tefari pool in a blue white control shell

[@kingbandit7459]

Please play more d&t! Love your shit boi

[@joefjunior]

GW Hatebears!

[@bt5087]

Beautiful lol

[@PleasantKenobi]

Beauty is in the eye of the Wisp Holder.

[@bt5087]

I absolutely love this build. I ran mono white death and taxes for a while but I feel the meta is not suited for it right now. I have all the cards to put Green in and this just makes me want to do it even more. It does its job, not too flashy, very nice. Collected company is great

[@musicman88881]

praise #catjesus

[@CryptonicNova]

So, W/B Death and Taxes is good, W/G Death and Taxes is good. So the question is, is Abzan Death and Taxes the ultimate form.

[@thatvietnameseguy2468]

GW Collecting Taxes

[@penapukki4623]

I think I'm stuck in permament 5p after seeing that last game...

[@hogpogagentofbolas9169]

If it makes you feel better, if you hit rancor with sage, it would have just gone back to hand.

[@PleasantKenobi]

Oh wow. That would have been a punt and a half, one that didn't notice until you pointed it out. Wow.

[@MrQwerp]

YYYOOOOOOO

[@plainbrad]

I'm leaving a comment because I heard quantity of comments helps a youtube and not quality of comments. And I'm the helping sort.

[@PleasantKenobi]

You are correct, and the MVP.

[@johnc.5419]

Is there any problem instant-speed wisp can’t solve? No... there is not.

[@PleasantKenobi]

Best card in Magic. Hands down.

[@DanielHarris579]

John C. Bolt for lethal.

[@TheShinyFeraligatr]

Can't solve the problem of Norin The Wary!

[@TotalTater]

Can't solve the problem of your dad running away

[@TheShinyFeraligatr]

Don't worry, he'll be back at the end of the turn.

[@leem.9934]

Thumbnail text unclear, misread as "flat dick wasp"...Don't ask, I've been building paper Pauper decks for DAYS...

[@Jesin00]

so much #walue

[@LewisBdrums]

PleasantKenobi you should join the darkside one vid and play boglebois

[@blitzan]

Praise cat Jesus

[@sudonpc-inputerror8999]

Panharmonicon

[@EliPye35]

Flicker Wisp aggressively spreading the word of Cat Jesus and beating down all the unbelievers. Repent sinners!!

[@alexanderespinoza]

How the fuck did you win vs Tron through TWO Ugins?!

[@PleasantKenobi]

Because Flickerwisp is a great Magic card, as is Collected Company. "Play to your outs"

[@WaterZer0]

Flickerwisp seems like the most innocent card ever, and I keep thinking to myself "people really play this shit in legacy?" Then they use Aether Vial on their end of turn to remove your best thing. Still not convinced it's good, but holy shit is it annoying. *removes 1 counter from Walking Ballista*

[@PleasantKenobi]

WaterZer0 wisp is the best 3 drop in all of Magic.

[@WaterZer0]

Tell that to Monastery Mentor.

[@PleasantKenobi]

Beaten many a Mentor with an Wisp in Legacy.

[@banjobanjington2344]

[@WaterZer0]

"I just needed one more land." This is me so many times it's not even funny. You take cards out for more lands, and you keep drawing copies of the card you reduced for more lands instead.

[@hollowhughes198]

Again I hate bad jund players

[@PleasantKenobi]

I think they are all bad.
