WHO GAVE MY ROBOTS BEANS?! Up the Beanstalk Affinity (Modern Horizons 3 / MH3 Legacy MTG)

I play a Magic: the Gathering Online Legacy league with a Modern Horizons 3 / MH3 fueled Affinity / 8 Cast deck. Up the Beanstalk, Simulacrum Synthesizer, and Kozilek's Binding give you massive payoff for casting expensive affinity cards. The deck should outgrind just about anything fair, and our sideboard is built to fight powerful new strategies like Necrodominance and Oops, All Spells.

As someone who started playing magic only a short time before the London mulligan was introduced, your mentioning of it has got me seeing more and more people around me who refuse to abuse the strongest free selection in the game.

[@AaronRotenberg]

It even works in limited. Ever since I started watching ThrabenU, I keep finding myself winning games at my FNM draft where I mulligan to 5 and then curve out and run over my opponent who kept a 7 card hand that can't cast any spells for 3+ turns.

[@Zauzzie]

As someone whos played magic since Destiny block I can safely say its the best change to happen to magic I can remember since removing mana burn

[@DiscardatRandom]

@@AaronRotenbergthat works until your opponent plays two removal spells and then you lose

[@nathanielreichley4640]

It is still heavily matchup dependent, in Modern (and Legacy) if you mulligan too aggressively t1 Grief can just shred you to pieces

[@Zauzzie]

@@nathanielreichley4640 this is why grief and scam is so shitty. It makes it so you can't mulligan vs those decks

[@duartelopes5223]

This league had some ridiculous moments. Pitch cast Solitude to take out an Ornithopter is a pretty good contender for worst trade deal in the history of trade deals.

[@ArchaicEX]

Round 4 opponent's Phelia-nitiative deck was my favourite thing I've seen from Legacy in a while.

[@jaredschroeder7555]

Lol R4G2 the opponent would've went to -199 if they didn’t block.

[@VivBrodock]

honestly this is maybe the most interesting deck from theory crafting, I'm heavily suspect of it's efficacy so looking forward to see how it does in a full league

[@lordjaraxxus3864]

match 3 was pretty tough to watch

[@AltBananas]

Sometimes you just witness players learning multiple mechanics in a single game

[@juicehansen8713]

As a Red Prison player, the third round caused me physical pain. 😭 Your deck looked super sweet though, constructs go brrrr 💪

[@dekina1198]

Maschines + beans... = ROCKET BEANS!

[@darkjigoo]

We love Beans 2: Spaghetti Boogaloo

[@joshuamartin3232]

I saw this on your moxfield last week and decided to sleeve it up for my lgs legacy night, got destroyed. Round 1 stomped by allosaurus Sheppard twice, round two when against grixis delver and got bowmastered to death, and in round 3 got marit lage’d on turn 2 twice. Drew way too many lands and not enough 0 drops.

[@TheZeratulsan]

1:04:13 even if you didn't play out opal, they probably Ending the boots there. You mulliganed, didn't have any colored mana showing, and didn't have a particularly explosive turn. So even if they expect reactional cards (FoW/N) it would still leave you low on resources.

[@mimic_ssb]

im thinkin bout those beams

[@dawsonscreep4566]

20:00 when you are so bad you have your own intro

[@jamescarrigan6649]

To be fair, I think Phil was right that his opponent was new. OP would have absolutely rolled Phil with chalice on 0 in game 2. OP just didn't understand what Phil's deck wanted to do even after playing a full game against him.

[@kurtgrgelwrx8376]

this deck already looks like great fun from round 1 on

[@Frommerman]

BEANBOTS ROLL OUT

[@AustinMerfeld]

I wonder if the new soul land that imprints a 7 drop would be playable here.

[@freya002YT]

It’s a Miracle !

[@Cloudy573]

Thought Monitor, draw 6. "Good turn" lol

[@lowellrindler9454]

lol we got another direct upgrade to myr enforcer?

[@fabulousampharos9347]

I want whatever round 3 opponent was having

[@lucamasseroni7]

Mono Red players doing what they like (press random button and not knowing what they do)

[@N3CR0LICH]

Just stared watching this and am curious how this will fair against vexing bauble. Cuz once you have enough artifacts where your not paying mana to cast stuff. I would imagine your pretty much locked out?

[@swimfast4]

Once again hitting us with very interesting and accessible entry into legacy. Is this actually the unsung side effect of MH3, there are far more reasonable “budget” legacy options?

[@noesunyoutuber7680]

The goal of the Modern Horizons sets seems pretty clearly to push Modern towards playing more like Legacy so they can have Modern be "the old format" and actually be able to reprint the expensive cards.

[@swimfast4]

@@noesunyoutuber7680 the overlap is certainly increasing

[@joshuaponce7937]

I’m curious rules wise as to why artifact lands help the arts fact count when blood moon is in play

[@carsonbos472]

As I understand it, Blood moon overrides land subtypes. Artifact is an additional type on the card rather than a land subtype. Hope this helps.

[@tylerbichsel1988]

Love me a little Beancast

[@elijahlyons8164]

That's the best deck name I've seen for this

[@aringrey]

this deck looks beautifully disgusting. Keep up the good work

[@Ox5f3759df]

Hang on - lotus petal counts itself even when you break it for blue to cast thoughtcast? 10:18 is where I'm seeing it

[@krysto2012]

Yep, the casting cost of a spell is determined when you declare that you are casting it and then you may activate mana abilities to pay for it, even if doing so would alter the casting cost, that cost is locked in.

[@crissvartur]

There's two ways of casting a spell... Put Mana into your pool, then announce the casting of the spell, determine costs, and then pay for the costs from the Mana in your pool.... Or (and this is how it's done in this situation and other situations) declare the cast, determine costs, then pay costs.... Both completely legal ways to cast a spell, the latter is the best way almost every time

[@calebernst2623]

I play a format where it’s vintage legality but a $30 limit and I play a version of this deck that just got priced out and I’m blaming you. Great video tho!

[@elijahlyons8164]

I have the same thing but $100 limit and the colorless deck is crazy

[@Commanderkittenface]

sideboarding in game two, should veil be brought in? “Spells you control can’t be countered this turn.” would stop vexing bauble from snagging your affinity creatures and zero drops maybe it’s too cute?

[@Commanderkittenface]

ope, that’s what you say 10 seconds later 😬

[@christopherlundgren1700]

Round 2 opponent just thew their deck in the trash.

[@basiliaspice]

12 7mv spells no Ugin's Labyrinth?

[@basiliaspice]

to be more specific i think it's better than Darksteel Citadel.

[@brianhelmick1105]

Tried this in historic and it was trash lol

[@guyoncouch8796]

Wow I'm absolutely shook at round 3, like they have to be a new player right there's no way an established player even if they've never played deck before does that.

[@kurtgrgelwrx8376]

the play with Shadow Spear at the end clearly shows that they are inexperienced with Magic overall imo

[@jaredschroeder7555]

if I wasn't sure before, when they discarded brotherhoods end it was quite the giveaway

[@shinyt9003]

@@kurtgrgelwrx8376 has to just not know shadowspear gives trample? looks like they were trying to stop the life gain

[@kurtgrgelwrx8376]

@@shinyt9003 I suppose it could, though I think it's pretty clear that they were simply inexperienced we'll likely never know

ehh probably forgot about the trample, its the clear line to take to stop lifelink. no one is perfect
