Culling Ritual Pulling Weight! Explorer BG Rock! (1/10/25)
Since the MTGO lag is pretty bad right now, I decided to make some Explorer content! Just played a few matches just to get some content out there. I still really like the demons shell for Golgari with Unholy Annex and have had the most success with it during the month of December. Let me know if you want more Explorer content!

Lavaspur Boots in BG Rock?!?! (1/8/25)
Просмотров 2979 часов назад
Apologies in advance as the MTGO lag was very bad this stream. The stream and my internet also crashed at the end so the last 1.5 matches had no audio/ just a replay. I tried to edit out most of the lag so hopefully the content was still salvageable to where you viewers can still enjoy it! This league, we were trying out Lavaspur Boots as a way to tutor up a way to give our creatures haste. Has...
New Year, Old BG Rock?!?! Modern Golgari Midrange! (1/2/25)

Back with some ole' BG Rock! I am jamming the same 75 from the previous video as this shell has felt great and I'm having a lot of fun with the Invasion package in the current state of Modern. I really think that Invasion is better suited for BGX over Green Sun's Zenith as Zilortha along with non-green creatures have been pretty clutch, even if it costs an extra mana.

With a card that is unbanned in our colors, it is 100% worth testing it out.

    How did you come up with the one of’s in the list in relation to consistency of the deck

    • @KoDiamonds
      @KoDiamonds День назад

      Both Reclaimer and Grist are cards I actually dont want to draw every game. But Reclaimer is a card that can take over the late game and Grist can be a tutorable removal spell so having access to 1 with the ability to tutor for them works. The artifacts are Saga targets that I feel are pretty standard for midrange Saga builds.

    • @toolboxhero12
      @toolboxhero12 День назад

      @ wasn’t talking about the saga targets those are pretty self explanatory, was talking about reclaimer grist and hexmage, and your thought process of using the enchantment to tutor up the grist and reclaimer rather than have three hexmages and the enchantment for more consistentcy with that combo, basically is reclaimer and grist a more powerful option than running three hexmages for the combo and consistency of the deck. And I agree gsz would be terrible in this build and like the power of it, but figured you would want the consistency of that power in your deck

    • @KoDiamonds
      @KoDiamonds День назад

      @toolboxhero12 hexmages are pretty weak on their own so it's not worth running multiple copies. Since Invasion also tutors from the graveyard as well, theres no fear in using up a hexmage activation.

    • @toolboxhero12
      @toolboxhero12 День назад

      Im not sure yet. We can definitely add them to the main if the meta calls for it. It can definitely change since Modern is still pretty open/unsolved at the moment, but for now I like them in the board since Invasion is pretty clunky and I dont want more 3 drops with that package.

    What was your thinking on caustic bronco?

    Yeah, I'm off Bronco. It just isn't impactful in most situations , imo. It's a 2/2 that wants to attack often if not all the time. The opponent usually has good blocks or removal. Phoenix is everywhere so you constantly trade down in mana and get nothing in return. The saddle cost is pretty high and the card off the top is usually a land in either scenario. That's a lot of work to make the opponent lose zero life. Usually having land on top was true with Bob, too. The big difference is Bob didn't have to put himself in danger just to draw that land. Bigggg difference. If I'm putting in all that work, drawing a land and dealing 2 damage is not worth it.

      Agreed 100%. Ive tried making Bronco work, but Ive just preferred Bankbuster in the end, supported by the points youve made

    Hey there! Any thoughts on a slightly bigger take on BG rock running things like Freestrider lookout and Invoke despair? Love your stuff, have gotten to mythic using your lists.

      Theres definitely something there. Its certainly a different playstyle that doesnt match mine, as Id prefer a more lower to the ground approach

      Ive really liked wr3nn because it costs 3 mana. Both vs control where you can get it under counter magic as well as decks like Waste Not where a 5 drop would get stranded in hand more often than not. Youre getting a very impactful threat for a relatively low cost.

    It really feels like you've pushed Bankbuster out of your 75 based on the last 3 leagues you've run. Yea, there have been a few spots where Bankbuster might have been straight up better, but Bronco seems like it's better most of the time. Even if it weren't saddled.

      Ive streamed Broncos just to make content and to be honest, I still prefer Bankbuster. Ive streamed a lot with Bank but I assumed Broncos would be more interesting to watch because its new. For RCQs, Im heavily leaning towards Bankbuster atm.

      @@KoDiamonds Wow. I've really been liking Bronco a lot. Like way more than I expected at least and it's been in large part to your last few streams. I'm kinda surprised to see that you still prefer Bankbuster.

      The floor on Bronco is too low. The ceiling on bronco is certainly higher, but Bankbuster is very consistent and the floor is higher. I know what Im going to get from Bankbuster. Bronco's mileage is just so variable.

    Hey Ko ! I’ve been a huge BG fan for ever, but lately I’ve been slowly moving toward mono black midrange. Having acces to a lot of utility lands, and using Preachers/Trespassers/Lili in my 3 drop slot have been pretty successful to be honest. Have you think about it ? It’s just, I don’t see the value to play green anymore..

    I've been trying vadmir as a 2 drop and so far kinda liked it. It triggers pretty consistently at least once every turn cicle between removals, discards and things like trespasser and scooze. The thing is that it is basically only a beater, but i've liked it so far. Maybe you shpuld give it a try as well

  • @refuse2lose1985
    @refuse2lose1985 8 месяцев назад

    The thing with Bronco, and why I've not really been convinced, is that its a sub-par aggro creature with no evasion. Like, who are we attacking with this 2/2 thats going to get snap blocked every time? The saddle ability is clearly very strong, but now thats TWO creatures that are tied up. Its also kinda inconsistent. Attacking with just the Bronco and getting a land or Fatal Push is great. Tying up 2 creatures to attack for 2 and draw a land is outright bad, and drawing that same Fatal Push is only marginally better. There's a couple other things, but yeah, Im cool on Bronco outside of a shell made specifically for it.

    • @SnapD24
      @SnapD24 8 месяцев назад

      Isn't it just a Bob with an attack trigger instead at that point? I can understand being cool on that variant, but the Bronco does something we would very much like (mo' cards, hit opponents) if things line up. It's just another low floor, high ceiling card. Include it as wanted.

    • @KoDiamonds
      @KoDiamonds 8 месяцев назад

      Agree with SnapD24. Especially when we compare with Bankbuster, theres pros and cons and Im just testing Bronco to give it a fair assessment. The drawbacks you mention are very true. On the flipside, not having your mana tied up to draw and saddling to deal more damage adds up. If you had me pick right now, Id play Bankbuster but my next couple streams will try to figure out which combo or Bronco, Bankbuster, Hydra, and a maindeck Duress feels best.
