revisiting historic "formats" that dont exist anymore is amazingly fun content to watch and perfect for this channel!

Thanks! What's your suggestion for next PT finals? Any ideas from Mengu's Workshop comment sections??

Triple bolt + Ajani in play vs Mengu at 11 but keeps upticking to ult Ajani. That is the true essence of Jeskai Control

[@JalebJay]

38:00 Has the greatest phrase of all of 2011-2015 modern: "Bolt, Snap, Bolt"

[@nehebtheunwhorthy3313]

I don't play Modern, but I can say that it seems much more interesting without the Horizons cards. Great video as always.

[@magic_taxes42]

I look forward to a Mengu’s Workshop video every week. It’s always one of the highlights of my day when it comes out!

[@MengusWorkshop]

Every week is reaaaally hard. There s so much work behind these videos. Tommy is great!

[@kippiauto]

That McLaren's UWR Counterburn was something else! Good old times when casting Electrolyze caused some serious muttering

[@MengusWorkshop]

I love you said UWR! Old school!

[@yarnf]

@@MengusWorkshop american control

[@Jorge-ft9oh]

@@yarnf Oh yeah. I remember back in the day we called UWR decks "Patriot" even here in Europe. Such good times!

[@Hunted0LessShirt]

@@Jorge-ft9oh My first big event win was with "Patriot Delver" my roommate leant me. I didn't understand the name because this was in Australia but that's what everyone called it anyway. It must have been almost exactly this time period because True-Name Nemesis had just come out and the HUGE prize for winning was 4 Polluted Delta, worth roughly $480 AUD for about 2 months before Khans released :D

[@int3r4ct]

What a good Modern format it was back in those days. Love getting to relive them by watching this veedeo thank you Mengu

[@TravisWasntAvailable]

It just feels right to see Mana Leak and Electrolyze and Sphynx's Rev played in competitive Modern!

[@MengusWorkshop]

Thanks for watching! And thanks to Tommy for the great editing!

[@user-fu7no1xu5b]

Love this idea! More videos like this please! They are super unique because there are essentially no other creators doing the same thing (as far as I know). I love all your content, but going back and playing decks from the past is super awesome for me.

[@MengusWorkshop]

That s the goal!

[@LethillWarrior]

Would be interesting to see a video from Mengu about Commander players who are interested in learning a 60 card format and how to start

[@larsegholmfischmann6594]

Wow, I miss how modern was back then

[@loxeggcheese]

It’s wild how engrained surveil land play patterns have become in my brain after like 3 months. I played some 2018 modern recently and had to remember what it was like before haha

[@NumotTheDragon]

I'd love to see PT 2015 finals which was U/W control vs G/W aggro. I love your vids

[@user-xk5fs1zu3m]

I love the way mengu shuffles his hand. You can tell he enjoys playing with paper cards xD

[@ILCASTRO]

Melira Pod, the most beautiful deck of my history in magic, i classified to the worlds on 2012 whit this deck so much memories about this ;)

[@JasonPayneJr.]

Would love to see some old school UW control with the legend himself!

[@Taikobo86]

Amazing! It would be awesome if you did Pro Tour Fate Reforged next :) I miss that era of Modern so much #FreeSplinterTwin

[@phothar93]

Bolt Snap Bolt is the most satisfying ever.

[@MengusWorkshop]

I did that today in modern! 😅

[@maciejdolata6475]

Ohhh nostalgia is strong here. Pod is my alltime favorite card, i played 4c kiki-pod, after ban i never played fun deck like that :(

[@alexdiotto]

Love this era of Modern and I loved Pod! Another deck that would be cool to see is Cifka's Eggs deck from PT Return to Ravnica eheh

[@Laou41]

I would have enjoyed a little break down at the end of how the actual match went against Sean, but great content you have here Mengu!

[@lautaromartinez8943]

I watch your mtgo veedeos every day but love watching paper! Love the channel mengu!

[@wesleypederson5497]

Amazing! I used to love playing UWR Control, but that was after the treasure cruise ban took me off of delver. Still had many great memories winning games with Bolt Snap Bolt.

[@Leuber]

When modern was still interesting. Yes, yes, I know, grumpy old man, everything used to be better etc. What else can I say? I personally just liked this a lot more than what the format is now. Helps that I could play it back then. Now there are almost no events where I live. Whether that has anything to do with how “healthy” the format is right now, of course, I have no opinion…

[@darkinsanity98473]

Aww man I miss this type of magic. Pretty much the golden days for me before a bunch of bans happened.

[@TlatoaniItzcoatl]

This is an amazing concept. Please do more like this. Super fun to watch.

[@EmbeJuicemazzopazzo]

50 minutes felt like 15! Such a good video, just like the others, make me want to try out these formats, I started magic with commander a year ago. (I'll probably go with pauper since i'm poor lol). Keep it up!

[@TheCuzzolator]

This is so nostalgic, I used to play this matchup for hours to playtest. I love old days modern, I still think it would be so fun to play some tournaments with “old modern” banlist. Very well deserved like! Great content 🎉

[@gargeyy]

playing in a past year of a card game is one of my favorite things to do, getting that window into the past

[@mrpinguimninja]

Tommy played the end of game 4 perfectly, I was really hoping he'd see the line

[@MengusWorkshop]

Tommy too strong

[@kyinpie]

Absolutely love the presentation of these videos!!!

[@PM-ut6sy]

I love this format (yes, it’s meant ambiguously)

[@raven6717]

Awesome choice for a matchup! Love these so much

[@reecepruis6322]

Awesome video once again legends. It's great to see paper magic like this.

[@XTimTheEnchanterX]

I love this idea, would definitely watch more of these

[@thehghman]

I really enjoyed the video. I hope that yall continue to do videos like this

[@frasonoturileanza]

Being a relatively new player I've never experienced things such as bolt, snap, bolt and pod in person. This kind of video just brings them back and it's so good. Great one

[@kazekage_gaara_-8027]

That last game though...awesome content Mengu!

[@Deerd]

This content is awesome!!! Bravo Andrea, it's so fun to see old formats

[@Lunamowon]

omg this is great, i remember this matchup on the jeskai side so well. thank you for bringing me back into these days

[@username1232735]

I'd love to see a slightly different take on this with old decks from stronger formats against current decks from weaker formats, like 2013 shardless BUG from legacy vs current modern decks, or 2013 modern twin vs current pioneer decks, stuff like that

[@MPG1408]

Very great video! Love this idea of playing old finals!! Hope you bring more, and congrats Tommy for the edition :D

[@godofacorns]

Fantastic gameplay, shooting, staging and editing. Love all the info you provide on the overlays and with your commentary. I find these paper games very engaging. Especially loved that you played best of 5 for more games! Excited to see more paper Magic.

I played UWR control well beyond when it stopped being a good deck. This was my favourite era of modern, before supplemental cards and free spells.
