MODERN HORIZONS 3 ELDRAZI SLAP! 20 Post Cloudpost Eldrazi Ramp (Legacy MH3- MTG)

I play a Magic: the Gathering Online Legacy league in the Modern Horizons / MH3 world with 20 Post, an Eldrazi Cloudpost ramp deck that takes advantage of many new cards from Modern Horizons 3. Planar Nexus and Trenchpost give you redundancy for your locus lands, while Urza's Cave gives you a solid tutor option. Ulamog, the Defiler, Sowing Mycospawn, and Devourer of Destiny give you solid options not previously available to the deck.

Sorry for PoP-ing your trophy run...

What a disgusting PoP it was! GGs!

[@ericbarr734]

That PoP was hilarious, well done OP

Rick. That was a beautiful win.👏🏽

[@wazzledog1007]

I loved that PoP so much.

“And my opponent spent a decent amount of energy telling me how to play my deck, and then lost.” Absolutely savage. Well-deserved and close win.

Devourer of destinies is castable off tron, pitchable to ugin labrynth, removal, ans early game consistancy on a modest body. Great card for tron type shells. Thanks for joining my ted talk

[@loganchristiansen564]

People have literally said "that card is not worth it, it puts the card on top and not in hand" in so many reddit threads

[@gothblin]

Loved that Trenchpost got to shine. Loved wiggling for like 5 turns against Storm. And loved opponent's PoP in round 4. As an old school fan of Tooth and Nail, this deck made me smile.

[@chrisc3198]

I like how the plug for Moxfield gets updated periodically as Phil adds more decklists. It's fun to watch that ad evolve.

This is a pretty sweet budget entry into legacy too. Definitely would love to see a follow up

[@Korwinga]

This, and variations on this, is probably my favorite boost from MH3.

[@KumanoMTG]

58:3 I feel you Phill, I like playing 5C Control and PoP is always an instant loss :D

[@crovax1375]

Annihilator 7 is pretty rough!

[@cquave11]

Bro, that laugh at the end was diabolical! I love it

[@kithkindeck]

23:16- As soon as I saw dress down in the saga deck my spidey-senses started tingling. Great to know I still got it. Paying 6 for the chasm seemed iffy with rings in your deck. Isn't it better to use caves for vesuva on glimmerpost, saccing the chasm and casting a ring?

[@Ox5f3759df]

the "oh, shit" at 23:26 is what I live for. love my shrimp

[@italostanley2608]

a lot of funny games here!

[@TheAngelRaven]

I love how much MH3 pumped Legacy Eldrazipost. But the side-effect of seeing so many new cards to deal with it is even funnier.

[@ThrabenUniversity]

I'm really enjoying recording with it and will be doing so again soon!

[@joker8340]

Love to see this deck hope to see it played again in the future

[@Skrippy33]

Very excited to see how the list evolves. Trenchpost owns.

[@pokeyclawz8727]

I’m so happy to see cloudpost getting time to shine

[@garryparks9866]

Have had some good success using your updated list for the deck! I've been experimenting with the sideboard because in some match ups, I really want pithing needle for wasteland.

[@kurtgrgelwrx8376]

sweet deck, very fun to watch and also seems fun to play

[@WarbossMorgorTeefsmasha]

i would say swapping crop rotation for maps is better with how little green the deck runs, haywire mite probably better artifact hate and maybe a 1 of urza's saga with at least 1 main deck vexing bauble.

[@DGP-4453]

This is what I’ve been waiting for

[@MrAvatarzan]

Thoughts on including Ceaseless Hunger? Or didnt really miss it? Maybe instead of force of vigors could look into foundation breaker for artifact hate since its not as green pip intensive...

[@ThrabenUniversity]

It seems good to me!

[@LeLukLetsPlay]

Kills Blood Moon too *-*

[@ggangulo]

round 2 was super sweet. sooo much mana Phil

[@Uri6060]

I wonder if there's any way to fit an amulet in posts. But it's only necessary on like turn 2/3 so maybe it just ain't it.

[@mircodurrbaum9064]

i guess now that all has already been quoted like x times theres not much left 2 say than THANK YOU for this very entertaining and delicate content . kinda makes me wonder how BACK these big mana type of decks are in thecurrent , new meta :D best regards and keep it up

g5r1, you and i both laughed at the same time in the same way, then said "ooh" after laughing at the same time & my girlfriend rolled her eyes into oblivion 😂 but god that was a good play

[@balbadorf989]

Hey Phil, is there a chance some of the higher cmc nonbasic ramp spells might work in this shell? Map the frontier and cosmium confluence come to mind, as a 4 mana ramp two planar nexus, and a 5 mana make threat, ramp nexus, remove enchantment modal spell.

[@ThrabenUniversity]

I like the Mycospawn because it does its thing ON CAST. I don't think I want to heavily consider other similarly costed effects.

[@SkillsByNiels]

Round 2 game two you could have tried to mill them with post and ulamog, but they had stilfe anyway

[@kendrickvickers2610]

got a question, if lets say someone has a thalia and you got a vexing bauble and the enemy uses force of will and pitches another card and pays 1 for thalia, does the vexing bauble still counter it since mana WAS spend to cast it?

[@simonteesdale9752]

Bauble won't counter then. Bauble and Thalia are not friends.

[@Tvtyrant2]

I used to play legacy post. Playing a deck that loses to 4 commonly played legacy cards is rough, but this new version looks sweet. I think Karn is probably a 4 of though.

[@thekevmeister77]

excited for modern rotation

[@vincentvangoo7078]

17:12 annihilator 7 confirmed good

[@Blacksunstoneful]

I would argue going full colorless with a playset of candelabra, amulet of vigor and KCG is much faster and more aggressive, you're either a deploying eldrazi threats really fast or using karn as a mid-range threat to either play wurm coils sundering Titans, or just playing a prison game with lattice

[@Datuna-vw3un]

You do not need to put anyhting on top from destiny reveal trigger, exiling all is sometimes viable option.

[@Arkonu]

These Eldrazi are insane. Guess its better than Hot Hogaak summer. Kinda..

[@Tree3D]

In a world of Wastelands, do you think Emrakul at 15 is still too much mana? I feel like it could be better to cast 13 mana Emmy and take over their turn

[@seansalzman707]

I think in G2 versus storm you could have held up boseju for the necro and not used the force of vigor at all.

[@erijerij214]

Ancient Stirrings not good enough for this deck?

[@Commanderkittenface]

all the games were sweet, but the mill on doomsday really takes the cake

[@faceoctopus4571]

40:31 Pithing Needle has no text? What about naming necrodominance? The card that you kinda just lost too.

[@ThrabenUniversity]

That is not how that card works, which I why I did not do it.

[@NoxiousAffection]

[Necrodominance]'s "At the beginning of your end step [...] draw that many cards" line is a triggered ability, not an activated one. [Pithing Needle] name [Necrodominance] does precisely nothing

[@faceoctopus4571]

Oh... I see. I didn't remember the exact text of necrodominance, so I assumed it was an activated ability like necropotence. I didn't realize/remember that aspect worked differently.

[@LordOfCrabz]

Glad I only watch Modern nowadays LOL

[@TheLiquidCastle]

wait, the turbo necro dude flamed you? plays the most aids strat available and flames others on top of that, when failing to win? amazing

[@ThrabenUniversity]

I don't think it's a good look to refer to strategies as "aids," for what it's worth.

[@TheLiquidCastle]

​@@ThrabenUniversity yeah, i get that. but i also think ppl are way too sensitive nowadays and will surely understand what i'm trying to say. either way, deck's messed up xd

[@zotmaster]

​@@TheLiquidCastle People aren't way too sensitive now. Very famous people used to argue that the purple Teletubby was a liberal plant to promote homosexuality in kids. That's being way too sensitive. We just don't think trivializing a disease that has killed tens of millions of people in the name of a cheap laugh is all that funny.

[@TheLiquidCastle]

​@@zotmaster it isn't supposed to be funny, nor is anyone supposed to get a laugh out of it by any means. i simply meant to attach something negative to it. i could've said "dickhead, pussy, bitch, cunt, whore, toxic, dumbfuck, etc. deck" and u'd still have ppl being upset about it. lots of ppl are very much too sensitive nowadays. also, it's not like im using "aids" to make something sound positive and make ppl have positive associations with the term. i used it as something negative, not even refering to the actual disease to begin with.

[@raymondhorn1052]

​@@zotmasteras a follow up to your point. (Btw fully agreed) There shouldn't be anything wrong with being sensitive. Caring about how others feel and treating others with basic respect shouldn't be looked down on.
