Daddy is one of the smartest deck builders of our time, not only that, if he does punt, he always recovers somehow.

[@s1egfredj0hn]

I wonder how he does it. He keeps coming up with amazing decks!

[@Dootium]

My suggestions: Run Apostle's Blessing mainboard as a way to save your creatures from removal, replace Shriekhorn with Expedition Map as a way to fetch your Treasure Vaults or Urza's Legacys, whilst giving instant speed buffing to Slag Fiend, AND being repeatable land drops with Emry.

I think it's cool you found an underplayed (nigh unused) card for Modern and made a playable deck. This is why I love watching your videos and deck brewing.

maybe that playset i traded for when i first started playing will actually be worth more than the cardboard it’s printed on now, thank you Daddy

[@aldinlewis5579]

Wow this is the first time I’ve seen anyone play slag fiend (aside from myself). If you’re looking for a replacement for shriekhorn I’d suggest arcbound ravager, it gets artifacts in the grave for slag fiend and lets you turn dead artifacts into power.

[@thepixelslime4647]

Every time I come back your decks are still fresh as hell! Never thought I'd see slag fiend be used this efficiently.

[@thegamev]

Slagfiend just can't operate in these Ragavan meta where they'll use the best card in the game against you :(

with all the stealing it's poetic that the player's name was Donald_Trump

[@unironiccaterpillar7405]

@@auberry8613 yeah, when you’re giving your opponent access to a win con the deck always has that chance to just die to itself

[@ITelefonmanI]

Yeah, I'm really surprised at how good it did. While reading the cards during the intro I expected maybe one win, two with some luck. This was a nice surprise.

[@donovan4444]

I'm just really surprised someone else was playing slag fiend... And destroy all artifacts actually synergized with it

[@yippyokaiyay]

This is why I love this channel finds a card that actually sees no play and boom an entire competitive deck built around it

[@ThisNameIsBanned]

The monkey is just OP , produces a treasure, would probably be good in affinity as well.

[@unironiccaterpillar7405]

Maybe artifact monkey would be more balanced. Itd die to artifact hate after all

[@JB-yg3ew]

Monkey is so busted. Daddy was right the wizards are smoking crack. It'd probably be good in any deck that has red in it.

[@Elliot9120]

Whacks, draws a card and makes lotus petals for 1 mana... seems good

[@judas1370]

Yea monkey is just too much. It’s just way too pushed

[@silverdeathgamer2907]

It making a treasure so you can immediately play a bolt or something else you stole after isn't great either and it would have been good without it(just change it so you can pay type of mana to cast cards exiled with it instead).

[@thesargeras1532]

I remember seeing a deck years ago on MTGO that used Slag Fiend and Salvage Titan in a sacrifice base artifact aggro list that reminded me of the shadow decks running around at the time. I thought the deck was sweet at the time but I didn't think it had enough pieces to really take off. Now with these new MH2 pieces I think it could finally take off the ground.

[@guffe5813]

salavage titan definielty like some interesting too try in the deck,

[@AbrahCadavre]

The first rare I ever received was a slag fiend from a dollar store 100 bulk pack when I was just starting magic, it's been in a dozen decks but currently is without a home. Because of this video I shall be slotting it in somewhere, thanks for the nostalgia and great content!

[@CampinSam]

I love it when you find an obscure card from the past and proceeded to bully people with it 🤣

[@taylorpack3504]

Did that once at an FNM and a player excused me of cheating because he hadn't seen the card before and I had to inform him that it was infact modern legal

Just proof that these people are only picking up the "strong" decks without knowing how to pilot them or even understanding the game they're playing. They just want to play solitaire for some free wins and anything that makes them think tends to make them falter. I died laughing when he spent 3 mana, 4 life, and 2 cards in hand to... "destroy" one opposing land.
