elves vs affinity was like two people playing solitaire with each other

[@MagicAids]

It was more fun than it looked! 😀

[@burningprodigy]

Just like the good ole days of 2016-2019 modern

@@MagicAids They're just lucky you don't side creeping corrosion

[@MostlyNotDps]

@@MagicAids Well that's good because it *looked* like torture.

[@Zephyr7771]

We playing Yugioh now

[@Sir_Francis]

"Opening hand's a little slow, but so am I" I almost spat out my lunch laughing so hard

[@tomfrost6049]

For someone who has never played modern, aside from casually, it amazing how I'm so intrigued by these videos.

[@riotron1026]

Honestly among the best MTG content on YT.

[@MagicAids]

Nice! Through the power of Prophet Potato 🥔, I'd say MH3 looks really *GOOD!* Like, being able to *save* *Modern* *and* *bring* *back* *creature* *decks* level of good! So now would be a great time to get into Modern! 🤗

[@tomfrost6049]

My friends are the good deckbuilders... i only play casually with them like I'm the special Ed kid because I build desks like hydras and Gorgons... and haven't bought a physical card since rivals of ixalan or the set with 5 cmc teferi. I want modern to do well, especially white because I have a play set of anointed procession sitting here doing nothing lmao

[@Freezingfist1]

​@tomfrost6049 not to rain on the parade, but the shift required for Anointed Procession to be modern viable would need to be extreme. The format just seems too fast for a 4 drop that you can't cheat in, doesn't greatly affect the board state when it enters, and doesn't winthe game if you get to untap with it. I'd love a modern world where that is competitive, but I think it will have to settle for being a Commander staple, for now

[@tomfrost6049]

Modern ot commander, matters not to me! Along as they ain't reprinting it before I can sell it off! I got some pre-cons for playing with my mates, but at my age it's not like we ever get the chance to play together anyway.... so I live vicariously through this channel.

[@miguelfreitas5343]

I so missed elves being a playable archetype ;-;

[@MagicAids]

Elves seems pretty playable now! 🤗🤗

[@TransformersBoss]

The game against Affinity was interesting, since, when you pop-off with Elves, each one basically gives you extra mana and card-draw, so you keep popping off! You essentially out-affinitied Affinity!

[@MagicAids]

It did indeed feel like a green affinity deck! 😄😄

[@TransformersBoss]

I like the way it was keeping track of your Storm Count

[@MagicAids]

MTGO is both the smartest and dumbest client ever made 😄

[@TehSeksyManz]

MTGO is like your great grandfather who was a math prodigy, but also had dementia.

[@ultratog1028]

As someone who has played since Onslaught, I have waited for this day since Modern became a format

[@orbital7217]

That affinity opponent drew every possible answer jeez.

[@nickymamolaable]

I’ve been waiting for this day my whole life!

[@MagicAids]

Then wait no longer! Well, a bit longer cuz the set doesn't come out until a month from now! 🎅

[@morgoth2425]

these prophecy cards are wild. alsp didnt knoq how much i missed elves from the legacy meta until now

[@benjaminkaye5119]

Always enjoy your deck techs Nicky g, keep up the great work brother !

[@danielgriffin567]

I played something like this back when Shards block was in standard. Instead of symbiote, I was using cloudstone curio which worked great. So seeing you play this brought me back to that time in my life.

[@ryanwhitford4249]

Can’t wait to see the Big Bird list, that sounds like an insane deck

[@MagicAids]

It's gonnnnnnnaaaaa beeee *WILD!* 🐣

[@MatDurrant777]

Sounds like a precon commander ;)

[@AlexOvTheAbyss]

All hail the magic potato! 🙏

[@MagicAids]

🌟🥔🌟

[@bobpie8274]

Praise the Special Spud!

[@TheNightmareImpulse]

Watching Elves being played again took me back to the good ol days of Modern. Thank you Prophet Potato 🥔

[@ThingsDontAlways]

that birthing pod reprint looks fire.

[@SuperMiracleMan]

Definitely glad to see a deck like elves perform well, can't wait for this set to actually drop. I'm looking forward to a certain spicy combo that includes Acererak.

[@victorperezurbano9504]

Amazing list!

[@MagicAids]

But I forgot *BOSEIJU!!* 😭😭😭😭😭

[@victorperezurbano9504]

@@MagicAids nobody is perfect

[@MrPetterPaker]

Since we are in green, maybe a mass artifact and or enchant removal could complement the sage as spot removal. I think we need to have both. Fade from History maybe good 1-2 in the sideboard

[@Garymaster4321]

The birthing pod at home artwork is just too good, thank you wotc

[@LukeMorgan-os5sk]

As a long time viewer I just wanted to post and say how much I enjoy your content, cracks me up every time. Many of your decks have inspired others over the years and influenced Modern in ways you don't get sufficient credit for (humans case in point)! Also prefer your commentary style these days... don't listen to the haters, fight the good fight! Can I ask as to Prophet Potatoes confidence level on Big Bird, and the way its worded?

[@samtamtamentertainment3910]

Modern looks refreshing after these leaks for MH3. To say im pumped is an understatement! Love the video's keep up that papa flare!

[@MagicAids]

Indeed! Through the power of Prophet Potato, I'd say MH3 looks really GOOD! It definitely does *NOT* feel like the set is trying to one up MH2, but rather, it seems to want to reel in the power of noncreature decks! We even get a 1-mana Void Mirror! 🤫😉

[@TransformersBoss]

If you’re doing Tribal decks, will you try out Merfolk with the new Flood Moon Merfolk?

[@MagicAids]

OOOO you bet we'll be playing that deck! 😀😀

[@Voodookick]

sometimes when i get bored ill slap on your videos at 2x speed and try to keep up

[@davidgarcianeme4315]

What has been the hardest deck to brew or play that you've showcased on your videos?

[@prosamis]

Now that's explosive Thoughts one the new 3 mana enchantment that makes 2 eldrazi 0/1s that sacs for mana or draws 3 cards for affinity? Kozilek's Unsealing it's called

[@NinjaFresh]

I'm liking the spoilers. Looking forward to building a Big Bird commander deck.

[@Weloranrain]

Wouldn't symbiote work well with Rite of Harmony and Mirror Entity if you splash white instead of black?

[@chiknsmack]

Rite of Harmony (and the "Beck" half of Beck//Call) are 2-mana versions of Glimpse of Nature, which is banned in Modern because a very similar elves shell meant you'd win on T3 pretty consistently. Two mana is a lot more than one (Lightning Bolt is modern playable, Lightning Strike is not) so, while people have tried Beck and Rite of Harmony, the consensus is that black for Shaman of the Pack (which lets you kill without combat) and sideboard cards is the way to go.

[@plao34]

Brb, gotta go make some upgrades to my elf deck

[@ThePichu100]

The magic potato is my new favorite character

[@HFLlightning]

How do you know the cards from the magic potato are legit?

[@tike481]

Holy moly... Just blown away lol.

[@firefighterchannelml9589]

It would be fun to do a gauntlet of pre MH1 Modern and now. The powerspike is crazy

[@deadrockmusic]

Whoa I need to get MH3 for that Big Bird

[@raymondagostini6029]

I wonder what benefits UG affinity holds without beanstalk?

[@ApexZer0]

With all the mana you can male would walking ballista be worth it?

[@MagicAids]

Not a bad idea! Too bad Ballista isn't an elf, so we can't bounce it with Symbiote! Walking Ballista {X}{X} Artifact Creature - Construct Walking Ballista enters the battlefield with X +1/+1 counters on it. {4}: Put a +1/+1 counter on Walking Ballista. Remove a +1/+1 counter from Walking Ballista: It deals 1 damage to any target. 0/0

[@xignited]

I think you are the only mtg content creator non active players still watch, great vid!

[@mateuszlenart2186]

I want those card in paper, specialy Shrek. Brilliant art

[@MagicAids]

WOTC be getting more creative these days with their art! 🎅

[@MrZoichi]

That affinity player just put his balls on the table and staved off the elf horde. What a legend.

[@burningprodigy]

Hol up, I dont even see the symbiote in the mtg rumor subreddits. Dont play with my heart like this, I stopped playing Modern because my BG Elves just gets gimped by Scam and Yawgmoth with Bowmasters

[@MagicAids]

Our Wise Potato foresees all! 🥔 Our Lord Potato even foresees a 1-mana artifact that counters free spells like the Incarnations!! 🤫

[@pollifpj]

The potato is giving daddy more previews than wizards. All hail the prophet potato. Also these elf additions seem cracked!

[@MagicAids]

Wizards has given Daddy *ZERO* cards to spoil over all these years! 😭 And I always say the NICEST things about them.... ohh... hold up 🤔

[@ianross9475]

Bouncing and replaying Shaman of the Pack and chunking people's life totals looks like so much fun. Feels like out-burning a burn player. 😂😂😂

[@jerrymcdaniel6643]

I might have figured out a thief deck finally lol

[@solomongrundey]

Picking up a play set of force of dispair asap, TY.

[@MagicAids]

OOOOHHHH NOOOOOO!!!!! 😱😱😱😱😱 Force of Despair {1}{B}{B} Instant If it’s not your turn, you may exile a black card from your hand rather than pay this spell’s mana cost. Destroy all creatures that entered the battlefield this turn.

[@altrekzz9870]

Plague Engineer might have legs if you’re looking to target elves. Also works well against the norin/satoru humans lists that have been moving around lately.

[@MagicAids]

@@altrekzz9870 MY HEART!!! 😱😱 Plague Engineer {2}{B} Creature - Phyrexian Carrier Deathtouch As Plague Engineer enters the battlefield, choose a creature type. Creatures of the chosen type your opponents control get -1/-1.

Cool to see elves finally playable again in Modern

[@luckylooch9696]

Knew someone who had entered our *modern* tournament with wirewoods in their 75. It wasn't until round 3 when the opponent realized that the elves player was on a non legal list. 😅
