UNDEFEATED With Jokulhaups- Back to Back Trophies For 10-0 in Matches! (Legacy Mono Red Prison)

I don't believe blood sun stops channel abilities because lands are only in play. If it said land cards it would stop abilities from hand

[@Niniju8970]

This is correct. It would have to specify lands not on the battlefield in order to stop channeling.

[@WarbossMorgorTeefsmasha]

right idea wrong reason, blood sun can only affect cards in play it doesn't effect any other zones so graveyard hand deck etc and channel discards from hand to grave and the ability goes on stack so it never sees play and is never checked by blood sun

[@ArsenicDrone]

Jokulhaups has sold 40 copies so far on TCGPlayer today (April 13). Average since the beginning of March: 3.95 copies per day (maximum: 9). That's how exciting it is to see it win in Legacy.

Whenever a card mentions "lands", for example, that means a permanent that is a land. If it said "land card", then it would mean "any card that is a land, anywhere". Sick league! Thanks for the video.

[@daneofdanger]

I remember debating if Jokulhaups was better than faster (and non-land targetting) Nevinyrral's Disk when they were both in standard. what a time

[@85mcarnold]

As a lover of old cards, this is an automatic like. Have a friend who keeps trying to make NetherHaups work in Premodern. Pleasantly surprised the card has won games in modern day Legacy.

[@daftwulli6145]

the huge difference is planeswalkers, which where not arround back then. Back in the days of ice age this was a meme that would never be played.

@@85mcarnold his deck used a single jokulhaups, and had a ton of cards that came after ice age, i said during ice age. Set like mercadian masks and alliances changed things a lot after ice age. But when ice age came out the sets where pretty weak, we had burners like homelands and fallen empires, 4th edition and oh yea chronicles, which did not even count for tournaments.

Past Phil: Super concerned - Me from the future, laughing. Jokulhaups is one of my favorite cards from all the way back when it was printed. It's just a house. I used to run it in a list that was more enchantment prison, with something that dealt upkeep damage like Sulfuric Vortex.

[@Petronio39]

Love seeing red prison because it shows the absolute depth of the color beyond just being aggressive and fast, you can also grind out games and play control and that's neat.

[@leftysheppey]

Non blue/black based control decks make me happy in general. I played a lot of skred in modern, which used to be a really fun control deck

[@JokullReynisson]

I haven't watched the video yet, but since I saw no one explaining the word "Jokulhaups", I thought I should chime in as someone who was born in Iceland. So "Jokulhaups" is a MTG-ism entirely, it doesn't make any sense outside of the context of the game and I have long since wondered what the origin of the misunderstanding is, since even considering every possible language the closest interpretation is the Icelandic word "Jökulhlaup". This must have been the originating word for the initial misunderstanding resulting in my favorite magic card. The original Icelandic word means roughly "Glacier run" and refers to the Ice and snow equivalent of a landslide. This is common enough in northern areas of our country that there is significant public infrastructure dedicated to preventing or otherwise reducing the impact of such events. It is an interesting card relegated entirely to an era of magic where land destruction was no problem, but I cannot bring myself to hate it as my birthname is partially found within the card's name... And I have been found to run the occasional armageddon deck, the clearly more efficient cousin of this card.

[@ThrabenUniversity]

Thanks for the insight! I'm an etymology nerd since I'm a language teacher, so it's always cool to read this sort of stuff.

[@seandeignan6615]

Hmm. Mossfire Valley + Klothys? Ramp to Jokul, survive Jokul, make mana after Jokul, provide inevitability? Increase Elden Ring vibes of Blood Sun deck?

[@gothblin]

Loved it. Love the art for Jokulhaups, and I doubt anyone has ever said its name with more enthusiasm!

[@piotrsykut6999]

Man the moment I was looking for cards for my lands deck in EDH and saw Jokulhaps I had this "jackpot" moment, and it's really cool to see it work in legacy, great stuff :D

34:00 With Blood Sun Yavimaya does not make lands into Forests.

[@ThrabenUniversity]

Oh, good catch!

[@keeperofcheese]

Actually it does--check out the Blood Sun rulings on gatherer. This has to do with layers. Yavimaya applies its continuous effect before Blood Sun can remove its ability.

[@alexanderfluckiger6431]

@@keeperofcheese Damn, that's why we need judges. Thx

[@azulsemh]

@@keeperofcheese it really doesn't make any sense, the rule may allow it now, but it makes zero sense. The land is on the battlefield, the ability isn't mana ability, the ability shuts down. In case of urborg or yavimaia the sun should act just like de moon. Its different of land ETB tapped or other rules that layer matter. Hope one day the rulers see it...

The base word, I assume, is "Jökulhlaups", pronouced "yo-KOOL-lahps". The lacking "l" would then (to my understanding) make this "yo-KOOL-ahps"

[@Finngrinder]

if it's Icelandic, I would assume "Yo-kyll-lie-ps" if Icelandic works like Sigur Ros pronounciations in the actual language rather than their syllabic instrumental "language" made of Icelandic and English syllables to accompany their atmospheric tunes. It is either mine or yours probably :)

This was a fantastic video to watch!

[@MTGFoil]

First of all I like your list and this video: thank you for sharing! NEED SOME EXPERTISE: Soon I have a HUGE legacy tournament. I am willing to play mono red prison: HOWEVER. Lands is no longer a perfect matchup. It has become a nightmare. As soon as they kill our Blood Moon or our Blood Sun effect heir Dark Depth will become A 20/20 Marit Lage. And removing our Sun and Moon isn't even hard anymore for Lands: with 2 Boseiju's main and 2x Force of Vigors SB. So I led my brain work and came with 2 solutions which I want your opinion on.: 1 Play our own Dark Depth's (AFTER placing our moon or sun on the battlefield . Playing it afterwards so they can't just copy our own Depths) so when they remove our Sun or Moon we have our own Marit Lage to block. So it will probable prevent them from destroying our Moon and Sun 2 Splash white for Prismatic ending. Just some Fetches and 1 or 2 Plains mainboard so we can Exile the Marit Lage or perhaps even better: March of Otherworldly Light because it is an instant. It is not the question IF but when I will face Land's on the tournament. What do you think is the best way out? Thank you for your time!

You can also just board out your Moons. That's something I used to do in the matchup.
