TIP THE SCALES! Legacy Soul Cauldron Hardened Scales. Artifact Combo MTG

[@alecwoodard9464]

I see the Patreon mindbreak arc is ongoing

[@pew7479]

I'm correcting Brian in the comments so that I too can be smart and handsome.

[@rainesd1]

This is why I always have loved scales 23:00, lethal on board with inkmoth.

[@nate1004]

Took me a minute to see it but yeah. Exactly 10 infect if you animate inkmoth, tap overseer, tap cauldron on Zabaz and then destroy Zabaz with itself and move the counters to the inkmoth. Cool line. Shame he didn’t get one more turn to do it.

[@sephirothrr]

@@nate1004 you skipped the important part where you have to use zabaz to kill overseer before you cauldron, since there are no creatures in the yard, at which point you can use overseers ability again with zabaz

[@nate1004]

⁠@@sephirothrr I forgot the +1/+1 counter required a creature to be exiled. I also forgot the cauldron fixes mana for creature abilities. Both of which I would have hopefully remembered in the moment when going through the line myself.

[@Bafflementation]

I think the first opponent may have had the read that Trop into Stirrings meant some kind of lands deck, in which case FoW would have very few targets.

[@Dracomandriuthus]

Trop into stirrings is a wild play for sure. Why blue. Why stirrings What in the world do be. Very reasonable to force there when you genuinely have zero clue and you have to go off the info you know Which, the most sense, is some flavor of either eldrazi blue, which isn't real, or some flavor of lands, which isn't real, but you gotta pick one of two.

[@Interesting_Failure]

The R3G3 thing with haywire mite vs serenity is the first time I've actually screamed at the monitor. Glad you spotted it; you're welcome! I'm sure I helped.

[@TehTechnoGuy]

17:13 was a helluva ride.

[@JayPals10]

At 47:10 there is a line through you should have tried before conceding. Cast Soul Cauldon. It will probably resolve, as opponent has only one Force of Will/Negation available, and they have already seen Dismember, so it seems more like a bait. However, after it's on board, you cast Walking Ballista X=0, let it go to the graveyard. Activate Soul Cauldron, put two counters on Overseer. Activate Overseer, put two counters on it. Kill Nadu with no more triggers left this turn. You know all the cards in opponent's hand. One topdeck for them and then you'll be sweeping the Nomads or other stuff as well with your four pings a turn.

[@shawnluehrs2426]

I had a friend with hardened scales in modern when I first started Magic. One of my favorite decks to pilot, but a playset of Opals was $400+ at the time, so I never got to own it.

[@ericdravenashecorven]

I played it for about 2 years-ish, some of my favorite memories in Magic happened during that time.

[@joblaska]

I am not kidding about this, I will be using card trader next week solely because of this ad.

[@matthewbeard7841]

Stonecoil Serpent stonewalling Psychic Frog like a boss feels amazing. But you know what feels just as amazing? Giving the Stonecoils the abilities of the frog. Poetic justice indeed!

[@ericdravenashecorven]

I played HSA for like almost two years when Opal was still legal in Modern, this honestly just makes me want to play it on MODO in Legacy.

[@NigiriCat]

Fun fact: this deck is banned in paper because the worlds greatest mathmagicians still haven’t figured out Zabaz math.

[@RyantheGumby]

Scales is so wild, love this archetype!

[@Fyrefrye]

Rather than going for a blue splash, I want to know if a black splash for entomb would be worth it. It would let you run the deck a little closer to a true combo deck. I think I remember seeing Phil play an Agatha's deck a while back that ran Phyrexian Devourer as a combo target because if you had an entomb + an untapped Agatha's after a creature goes unblocked, you bin the devourer -> eat it with cauldron -> buff your creature -> then use the devourer ability to make your creature a lethal attacker on the spot. It didn't even require too many clicks (like many infinite combo loops tend to do on MTGO).

[@Jon-pq6nh]

This deck is sick. I love counter gaming

[@MegaMechaBasilix442]

HERE COMES STONECOIL STEVE AUSTIN WITH THE STEEL CHAAAAAAAIR!

[@SuroSucks]

This is now my favorite comment on all of KZbin.

[@johannesblank1552]

This deck looks like an immense amount of fun.

[@nate1004]

I’m looking forward to presumably every legacy stone forge deck adding pre-war formal ware.

[@derekcline950]

40:41 now recruiting for my Acapella group, A Round of Boops

[@derekcline950]

My brain just wants to fit a Phyrexian Devourer into this decklist. It already has Cauldron and Ballista. And a combo finish in a midrange is always great. But it would need a way to discard or mill?

[@cp911s]

It seems like Tarrian's Soulcleaver would be fun in this deck

[@mcseal-j7m]

Messed up sleep schedule! Excited for the video!

[@JayPals10]

A deck with 4 Walking Ballistas, 4 Agatha's Soul Cauldons, 4 Urza's Sagas, 3 Ancient Stirrings should probably have a Basilisk Collar.

[@Blasharga]

Round 3, overseer got tired of the employees not doing enough work, so he just went and did it all for them to show how to.

[@KingAriston]

I like that this deck is, for some reason, running a bunch of cards that are considered too weak for the *Modern* version of this deck.

[@music00soba]

hard pack scale em if you got em

[@buildorburn]

I was definitely supposed to crack the bauble , I think I just missed lethal that turn and thought I can untap behind my safety bauble. Ggs

[@BoshNRoll]

GGs!

[@ArsonBjork]

That first deck was a Natural Order pile, I just know it

[@Nink262]

Wait, MagicAds lol. I know this guy :D

[@doctorexam6164]

As a current modern hardened scales player I have some opinions on the list but I dont know legacy as much. Mainly we dont play steel overseer anymore but it may be better in legacy than modern.

[@rainesd1]

I can't wait to see the robots take the field.

[@Zoomlenial]

13:00 oooh handsome why thank you

[@elijahlyons8164]

17:12 rip

[@christopherlundgren1700]

Maybe more decks should just include Stonecoil Sepent.🤔

[@TM-lm1gn]

Where's Phyrexian Devourer?

[@BoshNRoll]

In decks built to leverage it. :)

[@TM-lm1gn]

@@BoshNRoll Fair enough! Quite a fun shell in any case

[@ericdravenashecorven]

Seeing you die at 23:57 was so sad, you had lethal on board if they didn't win right there (I guess provided they didn't have interaction).

[@thesirmaximus6121]

Affinity! Babe is that you?! It’s been so long 🥺

[@Barefootwanderers]

What’s people’s view on sideboarding consign to memory in vs thassa’s oracle decks?

[@nate1004]

It seems good to me. Especially vs cephalid breakfast (not the Nadu version though). Edit: and oops all spells.

[@gkakgraubgyou]

Nice video!

[@cameronkueneman2519]

First one here today, I love hardened scales

[@emsmax1830]

who up stirring anciently

[@davidcox4687]

The g1 misclick... i could hear true pain in his voice...

[@jilalgaming7573]

Prediction overseer is not modern playable let alone legacy playable. Hangerback walker (gives you play vs wrath of skies) and 4 inkmoth should be auto includes and the blue splash is very greedy. As a deck that needs to use most of its mana every turn you cant afford to play reactive cards. The cards you care about beating are null rod, ouphe, and wrath of the skies. 4 natures claims and 4 dismember. sideboard out the ancient stirrings when you bring in sideboard removal.

[@itsswiftytime8209]

Where is the clown car?

[@deli_9697]

Agatha's soul pack, smoke it if you got it

[@deli_9697]

I took a hit from Agatha's soul cart now I go infinite with triskelion

[@GodpraisethePALANTINE]

@@deli_9697I remember buying a pack, turned into a Walking Ballista right after

[@Dr._Kenneth_Noisewater]

My tip is getting hardened due to this video.

[@JamesObscura]

Really feel like this deck needs malevolent rumble. It's just a great card and fits into this deck very well. I think it's probably just better than ancient stirrings

[@Janshevik]

whats the point playing this deck in legacy when only legacy cards are duals and tomb?

[@BoshNRoll]

Because sometimes you join a legacy event instead of a modern one. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@alexparsons3295]

I've never seen soul cauldron do anything in any format and i'm ready to see it finally shine. EDIT: Partially shine.

[@Ambushw23]

Jesus you fucked that game 3 up when you clicked through combat

[@BoshNRoll]

Obviously.

[@mrskittles6486]

Undercity sewers it could be anything evan a sandwich

[@mrskittles6486]

I find it super funny how every content creater shit talks to ring at this point while justifying playing it. Weĺl duh its a greatly busted card that everyone hates at this point

[@justass3001]

I mean yeah people complain about it because it is so busted
