[@MagicAids]

Let me know what you think about the audio! Is it *BETTER* or *WORSE* than usual? Be *HONEST!* It sounds different depending on what device you're using! I tried for hours to fix up this audio, but this is the best I could get it 😬

[@clarencebray8681]

The audio is great also great vid as always

[@BusinessFish]

sounds good

[@cerilious]

Sounds better than usual to me

[@MaeseEidos]

I think better. Not terribly different but certainly better.

[@SketonPent]

I don't hear it any different than the other videos, I think it's fine

[@jimscott772]

I was just realizing today that Aids is one of only maybe 2-3 YT creators that I watch every video as soon as I see it, and I watch it all. His pacing is genius for MTGO, watching even Spike or Mengu play can be laborious, and let’s not even talk Nassif.

[@dm9910]

Yeah I could do without the constant "lol rude word" schtick but you can't beat the editing and pacing

[@riotron1026]

I concur, he really does have excellent pacing for his videos. Cuts out the extra fluff and dead air. Gets right to the nitty gritty and is entertaining while doing it.

[@ragekage5656]

Same every time I see a new video I'm like "ooo daddy's back"

[@anthonymentalewicz5143]

He created my favorite modern fnm deck of all time - dimir ponza.

[@ferdithetank7535]

@@anthonymentalewicz5143 The coomsilver fountain Scrub God lock? You sir have good taste.

[@Syllogyzym]

Feels wild seeing Goyfs in Modern again

[@andreamartin9129]

The fact that Ocelot Pride is only a one-mana card with 8 lines of text, which is its own engine and can be both efficient early-game dork and a game-ending finisher, really tells you all you need to know about modern WOTC design. Also, audio sounded fine on my end. Not much different from normal.

[@storeblaa]

Love me some crackhead mtg energy content, would be cool to see an Pride deck in the pt

[@dolar007]

Modern horizons block counstructed deck, seams to be good

[@crcduster2047]

I come here for the decks i stay for the vagilence

[@CaptainDaws]

Arent these modern decks basically becoming more and more unplayable in paper because of the boardstates and actions? A lot of these you cant even shortcut since its basically manual storm

[@brettkeenan8367]

We did it! We broke Winota!

[@piratejones2687]

We broke Winota! Again! Only the 37th time so far!

[@gossamerglenn6714]

No idiot for sure first time

[@heeshka]

Never done before! Honestly, well done everyone.

[@Rehase1397]

Days since Winota has been broken: '0'

[@KyleBaran90]

Thanks Wizards!

[@taylorhorton9416]

Conflagala is a throwback I didn't know I needed until I heard it

[@hitlord]

Yeah, same here. It's been so long since I've heard him say it, I even did a double take to be sure I didn't hear it wrong.

[@ianross9475]

Soooo true ! Soon as I heard it, I was like hahaha I miss those days. Old modern 😍

[@eldinatkin3128]

I can't afford to play modern so I live vicariously through these videos. Audio sounds pretty good on headphones and love the commentary. Always worth the watch!

[@dutt6222]

That's basically me. I do have a mono red budget burn, but I'm not driving 45 minutes to my nearest game store to play that.

[@brockenstein8035]

“goes to Jesus” is now the default response to shit getting killed in my playgroup

[@extra2042]

This deck is the ultimate switch, as either way someones salad is getting tossed.

[@iheartlimabeans]

Audio was fine for me on my phone. You will always be the pride of magic content

[@Shattered_Universe]

Losing to Nadu because of One Ring as the counterplay to the counterplay is like doodoo butter being sprayed on your walls; you tried so hard to prevent it from occurring, but it happened anyways and now you REALLY don't want to have to clean it up. Make someone else do it (ie. WotC needs to ban something from Nadu, or maybe even just The One Ring period).

[@prosamis]

The deck feels so explosive, it looked insane seeing that many tokens

[@thecrazycapn]

So much devotion to stats he played an extra 15 games off screen.

[@Mattchudon]

The Winota hype is real, and it's also nice to see a dredge deck again.

[@JamesAndrewA]

Daddy where do you stand on the new bird? Wizards already posted it being problematic on their ban list "announcement"

[@ForeverLaxx]

What bothers me about how hard Wizards keeps trying to push Cats as a thing is that they keep letting Knights wallow in the Soldier's shadow. "Cat Tribal" is a meme that WotC wants really badly to work because there are too many "special people" who can't stop squeeing about cat cards.

[@reviewchan9806]

I'm super confused at that end of turn 3 on the first game. How do you make that many tokens? There were only 7 permanents on board, and the two cats would have made 9

[@CaptainDubab]

DAD YOU CAN DO IT

[@DidoDGaming]

Pognotaaaaaaaaaaaa

[@pollifpj]

My favorite part about following this channel for a while is how, in a good way, you keep finding ways for pet cards to flourish.

[@durdudunsanders680]

The meta feels more coinflippy than ever. Same deck against the same meta are doing 7 consecutive wins and then the day after 1 or 2 lmao

[@tribus6220]

Is that a good thing?

[@ronnirkutten888]

Nadu seems to be so fun to play against...

[@MstrKipper]

I love how wild these tumbnails always are

[@pieboy107]

The Winona joke like a valley between to hills

[@MostlyNotDps]

Legit the Winona joke in the beginning made me do a spit take. A+

[@Car_Ram_Rod]

Alright meow!

[@mikegiannakopoulos6819]

4 winota triggers with the first one bringing out the trigger doubler is nuts

[@FrankScorpio-do7hd]

never get tired of the comentary ON TO GAME ONE!!! *****insert joe biden type rabble***** Opponent scoops, HURRRRAYYY!!!!!! never gets old :)

[@0zzmium]

Phelia is just Roon of the Hidden Realms for modern. When you have yoyr flickers and etb value engine runnung, you are an unstoppable god. But if you don't, the deck falls flat because you're just tiddling your winks. I think that in Boros, you want to be playing Inti and Party Thrasher. Exile your deck, pkay from exile, and then use all your cat tokens to convoke out silly things like Bonecrusher and Phlage

[@MegaLucky00]

I always love your Winota clips. If you’re confuzzled about the decks performance you could always track additional stats like: was a deck/player stumbling, did they have a god draw, did they mulligan to 5, did they play a tier 3 deck, draw all their sideboard, is naturally well positioned against your deck, etc. Then you can analyze if the deck performs good even in dire circumstances, or only when your opponent is a n00b. For content, just spout out brilliant one liners which we can continue quoting while playing at home. ;)

[@thecollegecraftsman2865]

Audio on my pc seemed a little rougher/harsher for me. but I'll always let daddy be a little rough with me. in all seriousness though, I appreciate all your work in brewing new decks and creating content that is enjoyable to watch and is paced incredibly well. and now I have a strong desire to acquire Winota's again... and may or may not be that intro joke that left me in stitches

[@alexmcdonald7306]

How does it feel playing against Nadu? The combo isn't deterministic and it takes a very long time to physically execute which doesn't seem like it would be fun to play against. Sitting there twiddling your thumbs...

[@cameronjohnson5208]

Interesting to see what upgrades martyr proc has made based on match two. Unfortunately, the deck still looks submissive and breedable even with new additions 🥲. Would love to see your take on it with MH3 upgrades.

[@Niac022]

Well @MagicAids you made me want to try to build a modern deck with the new Sorin, Martyr of the Sands and cards like Amalia Benavides Aguirre but I realized the deck would be fair Magic and there is no place in Modern for that to succeed so I was super happy, then super sad.

[@alslayer18]

Seems like another deck that's just too overly reliant on drawing key pieces in the right order. Seems like every version of winota suffers from that. That and trying to keep winota on the board. But man, it's so much fun watching her pop off. Glorious when it works.

[@SacredUirusu]

Some of those boardstates looked amazing, and others looked quite unfortunate. Looks like a very fun deck. I didn't notice Phlage do any work in any of those games though, I wonder if something else could help defend the deck a bit.

[@hollowryder2732]

Honestly as much thought and synergy went into this deck I kept getting distracted by white orchid phantom. Hear me out I feel like with how many land destruction effects are on creatures or with extra effects exist now in red, and how white keeps getting disruption effects it doesn't normally have access to, there is a R/W prison deck that instead of trying to hard lock the opponent and board clear instead tries to blow up lands and establish a taxes style board. Maybe more accurate than calling it a prison deck its like land destruction and taxes.

[@AlexanderClamilton]

I hear a little more white noise in the background whenever you talk in round than i did previously. Maybe I wasn't paying attention beforehand, but you can definitely hear it with headphones. Nothing unbearable, just something I noted

[@SkeletonsYouControlHaveHaste]

I'm here for the giveaway, huge fan of your videos, your commentary is next level. Funniest shit ever. (If I win the giveaway will you sign the cards please? :'D )

[@danielfriesen4611]

Do you think throwing another copy or two of Phlage could improve the deck's resiliency against removal? On top of Escape the card works so well with the seasoned pyromancers and surveil lands

[@Clawhammer_]

Audio seemed weird to me. But maybe just because I've been watching for so long. I do like vomiting creatures onto the board. Maybe there's a way to make this work still.

[@baddiekozicki]

I'm wanting to build this but I'm wondering if you have any changes you'd make since the decent size of games youve played? Otherwise imma jam some games myself 😎

[@deadrockmusic]

It was fine before; once it was mentioned here I became conscious of maybe not liking it as much now, until I heard “Then my opponent exclaims…” at which point I forgot all about it until I read the comments

[@miguelfreitas5343]

You asked for honesty, so I'll say.. I feel like the first game was edited just a tiny bit too quickly 😂 i did *not* catch how all those tokens happened xD maybe it was just me, though

[@uolamer]

The sound is fine imo. But I didn't have a problem with it before. I love the art on that Flowering of the White Tree card. I do not play mtg anymore so don't pick me for a giveaway :)

[@zackw4329]

I love modern horizons 3, but sometimes I feel it's a little hard for people like me to keep playing on a low budget, with such high power cards being printed and the meta continuing to change.

[@aven78]

Audio sounds about the same, but that means it's good. I'm surprised this deck was able to do so well, it just seems like a lot of creatures, but you can easily run over people if they're not prepared with plenty of removal.

[@Radonised]

I think amped raptor, maybe replacing some phelia, would be good for the deck. Also I think 1 more phlage would be good too. solid stuff

[@pleravens]

when this deck goes, it really goes. I like the idea of winota and all the cats. But since it got a lot of 4-1 results (as you said) it must be losing to something... either a bad draw, or the opponent is doing something more broken. What did it lose to in those other off camera games?

[@luciofernandoherrera]

The sound quality is spot on. The deck is very interesting, Winota was a sleeper in the format, until daddy brings some spice with MH3

[@marknunya3107]

HE REALLY DID THE “And now for burder-burder, Game 2” 🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣 I feel like you did this JUST for me daddy 🥲

[@EssenceEater]

This is such a bizarre deck, not because of the combo or anything, but because of how inconsistent it was throughout the tournament. It seems like more games are gonna be required to cement this as a strong deck. Also the audio is better then normal, though the audio is never bad in my opinion.

[@KungFuIsland]

if it's not worth splashing for blue, Flare of Fortitude seems worth it in the SB so you can overextend/preserve more of your board on the Winotanona swing.

[@matejvodrazka7847]

At the beginning of the video, i thought "this deck can't work"... and you pulled some really explosive games, wow!

[@MrGenyaAvacado]

Cat daddy, the audio reminds me of ye olden days. Much obliged, keep the current settings, dont forget the graveyard HATE!

[@bobby45825]

I feel like the only thing this deck lacks is the perfect sb. I'd say 4 sanctifier is the way. The other spots would be for whatever else was touching your stinky hole.

[@colheitasombria7612]

Even though Angrath Marauders don't synergize with Delney, maybe one or two copies could crank up the damage a little bit.

[@tylerprugh777]

I think that the deck has a lot of potential I’d try adding more spot removal like maybe a swords or a path or if u want to shut down the combo decks you could also play medaling mage it’s a human so it works well with Nona or u could run reflector mage to bounce things back to there hand and stall them

[@MrSaladTurtle]

On my phone audio i think the voice quality got slightly worse, a bit less peaky but harder to understand you! Hope you figure out something you are happy with

[@newbgaemr]

I'm still trying to make daddy hit me in the pooper with taxes send me a deckbox already because my family will suffer famine when I go to the mail to get my new deckbox

[@dtthire]

This deck’s super spicy, but the lack of very powerful humans in it means that the opponent can recover from an Winota attack; as cool as the deck was, it just seemed a little too fair to me. I know cards like Agent of Treachery and Tovolar’s Huntmaster helped compensate this, especially since they’d synergize pretty well with Phelia, with agent being there in your previous versions of the deck Is there any reason why you moved away from them?

[@Stevoman-mm1wn]

I think the issue with the deck might just be that its split to much between life gain and tokens. When you draw all of one of the two against the right opponent you do good but when you dont you get stomped. Plus nadu is ban worthy.

[@garlund]

I love this deck but im a simple man so my favorite part of this video was "my opponent screams my a**h***'s just for sh*ting"

[@jaggededge11]

I wonder in the deck should have access to a few Scrapwork Mutt as a way to loot through the deck more (As well as provide a haste creature to swing in with when Winota hits the board)

[@Froschritter]

Sick deck. I think the audio is and was fine but you could slow down a tiny bit and speak just a tad more clearly, that would help understand you. There are a bunch of non native speakers that might have problem understanding you. I understand pretty much everything even as a non native speaker, except during sideboarding. That's when you usually are the fastest with the speech and edit.

[@ryanwhitford4249]

Man I want these cards to be good and have a competitive place in Modern. This kind of shell is probably where they shine and you can definitely see the power of them when this deck popped off

[@Dootium]

This deck but Hammertime (Collosus Hammer, Sigarda's Aid, Stoneforge and/or Urza's saga), with Kemba, Kha Enduring. Maybe Kaheera as companion?

[@alex4175]

You posting so many videos back to back does make me happy cause your one of my favorite magic creators glad modern horizons made your brew brain buzz

[@georgelacatus1495]

Mad respect for the consistent content lately! I'd love to see Winota find a home in modern, this shell looks like a solid start, seeing Boros midrange take down Jund is 👌👌

[@wiiblewobble]

I’ve been playing new ajani in brawl. People have just been conceding almost every time he flips. Love a good delney deck too

[@SaggiDarkClownlike]

Audio seemed okay? I'll probably have to watch it again off of my crap phone. That win rate might as well be a cat for how fickle it was

[@forever915ful]

Omg I'm literally making my verison of this deck and I was going to show it off next week to my lgs, now they will think I stole the deck from Daddy

[@thecollectiblecollectabill2298]

Definitely like this deck! I got 4 Winotas a week before they banned her in pioneer, PLEASE break her in modern!😂

[@solcloudchaser4988]

32 nonland cards from supplimental product, 8 real cards. Fuck MTG. Bring back real modern.

[@deathpunch2169]

The deck feels a little like just a pile of good cards. Ajani for instance seemed to underperform, doing nothing but make a token for Winona 🤔

[@betabrett0223]

many boros shells with the new cards, curious if one will emerge as the best or if there will be many like pioneer with pia exile, heroic, convoke, and burn

[@airenrain]

Ah yes, cats in magic acting like cats in real life, either they are playing around actually doing something or just laying around doing absolutely nothing, magic as the cat gods intended

[@hxcnoel]

Kinda wish the new cards could make Ajani's Pridemate good, but I'm probably smoking crack like mama

[@aaronodst1174]

I generally haven't liked the past x years of wizards' choices, but it is neat to see such a variety of little guys running around modern

[@riotron1026]

I’m really shocked Wintoa hasn’t carved out a legit presence in Modern yet. This vid shows how bonkers she is. 😂

[@kindoars]

The deck was good but, too much of chance for wiffing and you only got a few explosive turns out of it. Overall it had an ok run.

[@Wheels_tcw]

I didn't notice any difference in the audio. Then again, the buttery smooth voice of Magic Aids doesn't need any adjustment.

[@Proof_]

Opponent gains 18 life with Martyr of Sands, then ends up losing to 108 HP and 89 Energy. Feels bad.

[@MiniMotys]

Sadly explosive token diarrhea looks kinda too inconsistant for the current Modern meta, cool as always deck nevertheless Daddy

[@joris6905]

The only way to counter Wizzards trying to force meme-decks is to interpret the names in apolitical ways. Well done ❤

[@allencline2954]

Is this even modern?? Like I feel like I’m just watching horizons standard. Modern does not look fun.

[@psykodamberdk]

It is because you didn't play the other good boys with Phelia, Spirited companion + selfless savior

[@neroson8840]

I just need one ajani and one ocelot to make my cat dog commander deck complete. But no one really wants to sell locally and I’m trying real hard to support my lgs.

[@Deuce10Home]

Finally, modern cats :') I just wished the deck somehow worked in Force of Cat aka Qasali Ambusher

[@Azkozt]

Audio is better I think overall. Idk though, hard to tell because the guy narrating always has a velvety smooth voice.

[@manteric]

I actually prefer the old audio Still, love every single video, if I ever build a modern deck, I'll start from one of your videos

[@coreycritoph2836]

This deck reminds me of my girlfriend she let me multiply with her kitty I have 3 daughters now im outnumbered😅

[@DarkestFiction]

Neat. You're still finding brews and pumping decks out faster than a pent up 40 something virgin

[@MrSeam0nk3y]

This deck seems like it's win rate is so dependent on matchup that it'd only work as like an anti meta pick for very specific popular decks like Tron

[@JackJohnson0404]

I feel like ragavan might just not be good enough. As weird as that sounds I find it to constantly come up short in many decks

[@astrograph7875]

DADDY BROUGHT WINOTA BACK!!!!!
