20:30 I think it deserves a mention that the recent printing of Fatal Push was huge for Death's Shadow, powering up Black's removal immensely as it was the best creature removal in the format, even if the key life-total lowering cards existed for years. While it also killed Shadow, it was key to playing an efficient suite of cards to be able to stay aggressive with the Shadow (to stave aggro) and also get out Gurmag Angler quickly. Also sad to not see Lantern Control getting a mention. Such a unique deck even if it didn't get anything banned and alongside Bloom Titan a deck that went undiscovered for a long time.

Appreciate the depth and accuracy with which this covers the ever-evolving landscape of the format. However, it wouldn't be a KZbin comment section if I didn't point out a few things missed. I can understand why rules errata was left out of the video for brevity's sake, but you can't mention the history of modern without talking about Tibalt Cascade (not talking about Tibalt's Trickery, but Tibalt the Cosmic Impostor himself). There was a brief period of time when the cascade mechanic allowed you to reveal Valki while casting his double-faced side. With accelerants like Simian Spirit Guide and Gemstone Caverns, players were dropping 7-mana planeswalker bombs as early as turn 1. All they had to do from there was sit behind free or cheap interaction like Force of Negation and Commandeer while Tibalt took over the battlefield singlehandedly. This also only lasted a few weeks before the errata was issued, at the same time as the Trickery banning. Shoutout to the Companion errata as well. You used to have free access to Lurrus every single game! Not just a free card in every starting hand, but a free powerful card. What the hell were they thinking lol And I feel like Urza's Saga deserved a mention for being the consistent card advantage engine/Hammer tutor that allowed Hammer decks to push to the forefront. Lastly, I want to address the controversy of the Splinter Twin banning, though this is more of an opinion. At the time of its banning, Modern had an acceptably diverse top tier of decks, but there were piles upon piles of good and interesting archetypes sitting in the lower tiers that just couldn't crack the top. The biggest reason for this was Splinter Twin -- the archetype was a true gatekeeper. You had to start every single Modern deck, every single *idea*, by asking the question, "how do you beat Twin?". The fact that it was fast, resilient, and required so few pieces meant that most ideas were meaningless in comparison, especially combo decks. Why do anything if Twin just wins on turn 4? The metagame was centered around beating it, which propped up a certain echelon of decks while critically hampering the rest of the field. Once Twin was banned (and Eldrazi was sent back to the shadow realm), the Modern metagame normalized into a place where you could actually take a pet archetype, put in a bunch of hard work, and end up with something competitively viable. Would Matt Nass be able to singlehandedly ascend KCI to the heights of the banlist if his under-represented deck was laughed out of the metagame before it even got off the ground? Would Lantern Control ever win a PT? The banning of Twin, in my opinion, was directly responsible for Modern reaching its pinnacle of deckbuilding ingenuity. Anyways, nowadays Modern has been warped so hard by the Horizons releases and F.I.R.E. design that I think Twin poses a significantly less risky question towards the metagame. But just speaking from personal experience, I don't want to go back to the days of wondering "how do I beat Twin"
@anthonybrownbrown860210 ай бұрын
not that serious
@leandroteixeira3310 ай бұрын
About Twin, it's important to also emphasize how the answer to "how do you beat twin ?" was often "just play Twin yourself". Grixis Twin, TarmoTwin, you also saw from time to time even Temur Scapeshift becoming Temur Twin post-board. With anything between 5 and 10 slots, you had a combo that could win at basically any time and thus the opponent would always need to keep mana up for interaction. For this exact reason, I believe Twin should never be unbanned. While a pure UR Twin would probably never be relevant once again, Twin could fit very easily in many decks, mana is as good as ever making it very splashable, card selection has improved to the point where you wouldn't need the 10 slots while cards like 3Feri and Binding provide interaction and protection the deck never had access to in it's prime. It's just another angle of attack if the opponent ever underestimates it.

Very much appreciate that this video is already very long and had a lot of work and research put in, so you were only really had time to highlight the most played deck of each era. But I must say, only alluding to cascade valki in an offhand mention when many who played during that time consider it to be the most broken and best deck in the history of the format is a shame. Especially as it was during a time where there were so few eyes on the format, so it's a deck a lot of people who don't closely follow the format wouldn't have heard of. Either way, great work on this. ✌️

One quick add is that scam being good v creativity is 100% not the reason creativity fell off, it was the one ring and a meta change where combo decks were stronger after fury got banned. When all the other decks got one ring, and people assumed (falsely) that creativity had a bad scam matchup, they stopped playing it. Then, when the meta became all combo like living end and rhinos after fury got banned, creativity had a lot of really bad matchups. The deck is quite a bit better now that murk and scam are good again (creativity preys on both slightly, good pilots dumpster scam and are above 50/50 vs murk), and the addition of elesh norn grand cenobite has given the deck a lot of reach vs yawgmoth. That aside, and other than some of the minor things others here pointed out, what an amazing and nostalgic video. Moder has a huge history to celebrate and a really bright future. I can't wait to see what modern horizons 3 brings.

I've been playing Modern since the start and I love this video. It always irks me when ppl talk about Modern being "eternal", "diverse", "non-rotational"... The reality is Modern has only ever been nice like that for brief periods, or if you're okay with not playing tier 1. It's always been a format of broken metas being succeeded by new printings and bans "rotating" the tier 1 over and over. Your (very expensive) deck could be rendered unplayable or tier 2/3 by the meta or a ban, which have always happened constantly. Some decks have had longevity, like mono-red burn, infect, lantern, 8-Rack, Dredge... but these were tier 2 or tier 3 (or tier 4 sorry 8-rack lol) decks for most of their longevity (I did love when Infect and Dredge were tier 1 though). I just love the Modern powerlevel. It's a great format if you don't go in with the illusion that it's "eternal" and "non-rotational" (no format truly is if you want to play tier 1) and instead enjoy it for what it is: Really fun and competitive Magic. Peak Magic, one may say. :) The true "eternity" of Modern is just that you can carry fetch lands and shock lands through the years, making the financial burden of the meta a little less frustrating (specially now with 10$ fetches and 5$ shocks, thank you WotC!)

Second, in what playzone is an instant or sorcery spell when its trigger is on the stack? Is it considerd to be on the battlefield, or is 'the stack' also a playzone where you can have cards?

I won tournament at Local game store with Robots. After Mox Opal ban i just switched my deck to Legacy format. Soon i noticed that deck does not manage to get enough wins so i just sold my whole deck. I have to figure it out what to play in Modern still if i want to continue with at all. Thank you Seth for doing videos that matter for mtg scene!

I strongly recommend Pioneer instead. Significantly better price wise and there's no direct to format sets.

Hardened Scales is a pretty legit deck these days and can be built for a relatively low price and can be upgraded over time
@lesternomo657810 ай бұрын
Hardened scales is probably the closest thing in modern today, very strong deck but is hard to play

I stopped MTG in 2014 but that 2016 infect deck looks a lot like my very first infect build. I hadnt even discovered standard yet, I was just getting into the game, and with some old cards and some new cards, I built an infect deck that my friends hated because I could consistently win turn 2 or 3 with a cheap infect boy and mutagenic growth, giant growth, and might of old krosa (from a friends older collection).

On one hand banning Fury over Grief is a better idea, because of how easily Fury can go +2 in card advantage as well as leaving you with a 4/4 Double striking body on the field by turn 1. Fury was also stopping creature decks from being in the format. However, now that we don't have Fury, the headlights are on Grief and he it should have been banned instead. Fury was a bigger issue in the format compared to Grief. Grief is still a problem and if it's not banned by the next modern banlist, modern as a format is going to die. While they're at it they should ban also ban Orcish Bowmasters, and the One Ring (Or maybe just the One Ring).

40:35 Fury was the primary problem of the deck, not grief. The issue with fury was that it made pretty much all creature-based decks unplayable, while also being a turn one 4/4 with double strike. Grief is still a pretty busted card, but fury was just on another level.

Oh! This explains a lot why grief is such expensive card. Packed extented art foil week ago, and was shocked to see price but didn't understand why. I have only played commander and started mtg 2020

I don't want to sound like a purist, but I really feel there needs to be a revamp of formats to cope with horizons, universes beyond, alchemy etc. I think there should be a parallel system with one set of formats including these and the other (using the same era designations) including only cards that have been printed in standard legal sets (and not the commander pre-cons for those). I find the core idea of older sets is the wonder of pretty banal a standard cards becoming amazing when clever people think about how they work with a much larger cardpool. Having cards just jump into those formats, particularly when designed for them, really degrades that puzzle.

I'm so glad I've gotten to see Modern grow and flourish and become riddled with exactly the money problems that legacy had.

I wish I had been playing when Hogaak was a thing. Deck looks extremely cool and right up my alley. I wish Dredge/Graveyard decks wouldn't get hit so quickly by ban lists.

33:38 that two weeks of tibalts trickery made me quit magic and sell my cards for almost 2 years lol. At the time I only ever played 60 card in paper, and was so fed up with the modern format after Oko and Uro and Omnath that I just quit on the spot. I hadn't been able to play any of my fair fun magic decks because MTGO was dominated by nonsense. I wish I'd held out a little longer. I had some really nice cards that are much harder to find in their original printings, and I would've loved to have them in edh decks. Now I'm back playing magic, usually EDH and pioneer but will hop on mtgo to see whats up with modern sometimes.

My only hope and dream is that wizards stop printing 'money' and return to the olden ways of Magic that looks and plays like Magic used to before Modern Horizons...
