Is BUG Aluren THE TRUTH In Premodern?

[@mtgbast]

Thank you so much for keeping the premodern content coming!

[@fpawluszmtg]

I do what I can!

[@IPlayMagic]

This build with survival is a gift to the format , I always enjoy watching you play this deck

[@fpawluszmtg]

Thank you! It's far and away my favorite deck, and every time I play it I am reminded why

[@oblobear2093]

Next to pauper, premodern is my next favorite format. I love the nostalgia. Playing with my old suicide black deck. Does not matter of i win or lose. Just to get to play the game is enough for me. I love the content. More power!

[@fpawluszmtg]

Thank you! Long live Premodern!

[@ArtyGarciaArceo]

My Friday just got a lot better! Vamos!

[@fpawluszmtg]

Thanks Arty! Hope you dig it!

[@seanstone-ashe8667]

Your Survival content is some of very favorite MTG content. Thanks for sharing!

[@fpawluszmtg]

Love to hear you're enjoying it! It's far and away my favorite card in Premodern

[@joehenderson1]

Love the premodern content. Cheers mate!

[@fpawluszmtg]

Thank you 🥰

[@blue_robot2134]

loved it!!!!!

[@fpawluszmtg]

Me inspiraste a que le de una probadita a la version BUG!

[@brandondeveines7839]

Love all the Premodern content!!! -1 gemstone mine/Paradise for +1 pool?

[@fpawluszmtg]

The Pools do a lot of work, but they don't do it by themselves, so playing more than 2 is sketchy. You need lands that actually produce the colored mana by themselves.

[@AlbinoTurtles]

I felt bad for immediately rooting against you when ill-gotten gains was cast but then you also started rooting against you and then I felt better.

[@fpawluszmtg]

How can anybody ever root against Ill Gotten Gains? Deck also plays Intuition and Cunning Wish! I'm only human...

[@DreLeila]

Thanks a lot

[@fpawluszmtg]

Thanks for watching!

[@brianontiveros-kersch2412]

50:25 Ghastly Demise can't target mesmeric fiend. It's nonblack

[@fpawluszmtg]

I guess reading the card does indeed explain the card! Thanks for pointing that out, haha!

[@brianontiveros-kersch2412]

@fpawluszmtg we've all been there. Thank you for making this content! It's amazingly entertaining and you're great at commenting while you play, which is nowhere as easy of a skill to have as people think it is.

[@fpawluszmtg]

@@brianontiveros-kersch2412 Thank you very much for the kind words!

[@DreLeila]

In which city are u playing? Are u looking for mates to test in paper?

[@bobbychess5652]

what do you think of those lands from masques, which tap for 2 in this deck?

[@fpawluszmtg]

Hickory Woodlot (I think that's the name of the G one) used to see play in Aluren lists, but those were attempting to combo more quickly, which is not something this deck is trying to do. This approach to Aluren with Survival is meant to accrue value over time, and eventually combo (if it needs to). Woodlot doesn't work in the context of a deck like that.

[@bobbychess5652]

@@fpawluszmtg yeah this was it. OK make sense, survival in every Deck, huh? But Probably rightly so...great content Mate.

[@fpawluszmtg]

@@bobbychess5652 Thank you! It’s no secret that Survival is one of the steongest cards in the format, and if you are playing any creature based strategy heavy in Green then you should definitely be asking yourself “should I play Survival here?”. In the case of Aluren the answer is a resounding YES.

[@MathiasSilveiradeFreitas]

seems like the answer is no. i've been playing the other list tho and it rocks! cheers!

[@fpawluszmtg]

@@MathiasSilveiradeFreitas I would agree with that. Definitey enjoy the UGW list a lot!

[@nicolasfama2171]

el dia q lo jugaste, despues tire una mano contra sligh. (primera vez en mi vida que jugaba alluren) . mi rival me hizo t3 sulfuric vortex. lo guarde y no lo use mas xD. pero quiero darle una testeadita mas

[@fpawluszmtg]

Si, esa lista que jugué esa vuelta ya es vieja, y perder contra Vortex y Humility game 1 era parte de lo que había decidido. La lista que estoy jugando ahora juega Monk Realist de main, asi podés ganarle al Vortex.

[@tylerantony7399]

IMO the bant aluren deck might be a secret tier 1

[@fpawluszmtg]

@@tylerantony7399 I am not so confident to call it “tier 1”, but I think it’s legitimately very, very good and it can still be improved. I hope I can get it all the way to the top!

[@portland573]

Always feels like Aluren isn't quite there. I'm sure there's a build out there.

[@fpawluszmtg]

There is. I played in previous videos, and it's in the primer I wrote, in the description of the video.

[@shawneldridge3006]

You still play modern Amulit off screen?

[@fpawluszmtg]

@@shawneldridge3006 Not really. I have seen that new lists look quite different than in the olden days, but I at most play 1 league of Amulet every other month or so, and it’s in Legacy 😅

[@bobbymccullough3210]

No, Aluren + B = Baluren

[@fpawluszmtg]

lol I guess technically it's AlurenB 😆
