I really love how Reid goes through his thought process as he plays. Makes me feel like I am learning something, and maybe getting better (I'm not, lol)
"Im not gonna cut the mismatching altar, because if I draw one Altar, and its the old-bordered tempest one, it's gonna make me real happy" I love you Reid, from your mismatched Goyf, to your Old-bordered Altar of Dementia
2 years later, hogaak is banned out of existence. Counter spell is in modern. And these comments are premium. Still cool to see Reid play some of those “old” nutty decks.
I was considering stopping Standard because Teferi/Narset every game was gross. ...Modern is in an even worse spot. I guess I take out a loan and move on to Legacy :(
@@MrLivebynight It's a tricky card, I've certainly missed plays by thinking you can *only* cast it from the yard. The most important thing is that he reflected on it later and decided it was an error.
I would love to know why you chose not to cast Hogaak at 43:10? I'm not sure if it was an oversight, but you could have still left your faithless looting in your yard and since it's game 1 against RU mana, a sweeper is unlikely and you would have presented lethal on turn 3. I'm just curious what risk you were playing around that I'm not thinking about?
At 27:20 he had either manamorphose or desperate ritual + grapeshot for his out, he flunked it by playing opt. No idea if that's why he showed his hand or if he simply missed it.
Not really, he had three untapped creatures on the field and five cards in the bin, while Hogaak was in his hand. So he could cast it and still keep exactly Looting in the yard 🤷♂️
I thought Wizards didn't want Modern becoming a format with T3 kills? That's literally all we saw in ten matches. I see people saying how "healthy" Modern is but I sure don't see the fun in playing.
at 1:23:45 why not play feeder before, in case it resolves? we can sac bloodghast to feeder and get both back with the land drop, feeder becomes 2/2 and the ghast is untapped. afraid of kaya's guile/ravenous trap?
Wow, I didn't know how stupidly powerful and dumb this deck is until now... Something in this deck has to go, probably Bridge from Below has to be banned
I think getting help from people in chats is very unfair in competitive leagues. I get that there is no way to stop it and that Reid is obviously great enough to not need the help. Still it's pretty lame that folks can do that.
Would be refreshing to see a diffrent take on; how to display matches like this. Maybe cut them down to 15min and only go thru the important plays or something.
Well, everybody is hating on this deck, but I personally like it. I honestly like unfair decks that do cool stuff with the graveyard and card interaction, while right now magic is filled with boring decks. Hogaak will probably get banned because people are only capable of bitching and moaning, but hey, that's MtG's community for you. I also love how Mr. Duke explains his every move and is as always very thorough with his reasoning.
We've got about 10 days before the new ban/restricted announcement. Therefore, does the community think this deck will be affected? Thoughts? Ideas? I personally want to see Twin unbanned along with Eye of Ugin!! 😂🤣😂
My prediction is no changes to any format. I think they will wait since to see the meta game attempt to adjust and there’s also reprint of Leyline of Void /Grafdiggers cage coming out However, this deck will not stand 2 B&R announcements. So I see Altar or maybe Bridge getting the axe. I wouldn’t mind a unban or 2. Obviously Stoneforge. Other notable would be Twin.
Altar and Hogaak* Looting was fine before the introduction of this filth. Hogaak will never not be oppressive as a card that can benefit from literally any grave synergy. This much power on turn 2, in this consistent of a fashion, is absolutely absurd.
Is it deliberate or just accidental that 1. you look kind of like Keanu Reeves 2. you talk like Keanu Reeves and 3. John Wick is called "the boogeyman" ;)
I want try play BW antimeta enchantments deck with 4x RIP and 4x of both leyline, bridge and other bad stuff. Maybe splash red for bloodmoon. If I can't have fun play modern no one will have.
Lol turn 2 , turn 1 Hogaak : Play swamp, cast Dark Ritual, play entomb select Hogaak, with the Meaning 2 swamps play Exhume and select Hogaak Your welcome
its not unplayable nor horrible. Modern is fine. If you want to play more interactive magic, standard or legacy is available. If you want very fast and linear format, then modern. I dont think every format has to be the same.
its sad this deck will get looting banned and so many other cool decks will get uncompetitive cause of it ;/ well i guess thats just the way it goes sometimes. but when looting is banned we can play humans vs tron again and again and is that what we all want in modern? ;))
If you think that faithless looting is the problem card of this deck, then you clearly have no idea how powerful altar of dementia is. This deck doesnt even need faithless to function, it's just a way to speed up the kill/draw yourself out of bad hands. Wotc introduced two cards that are kill conditions and engines on their own, at the same time into modern, and that is the real issue. Hogaak and Altar introduce nothing healthy to the format, and they both stand to get unreasonably powerful (even more powerful than now) with any card that cares about a graveyard. Ban. The. Filth.
No Reid!!! It was said you would defeat the linear decks not join them!!
It was said that you would bring balance to the format, not leave it in the graveyard!
OMG i thought the exact same thing When I saw the thumbnail
YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!!
Prophecy was wrong...
Hogaak is still a GB card. Looting is red. This deck is still jund. Kappa.
So weird to come back and watch videos like these
RIP
“Okay, my opponent has seen enough!”
So have I Reid, so have I...
Was just talking about when I’d see Reid play updated Jund. This isn’t what I meant
I really love how Reid goes through his thought process as he plays. Makes me feel like I am learning something, and maybe getting better (I'm not, lol)
choice of lethal attack or combo kill on turn 3, just as wizards intended
"Im not gonna cut the mismatching altar, because if I draw one Altar, and its the old-bordered tempest one, it's gonna make me real happy"
I love you Reid, from your mismatched Goyf, to your Old-bordered Altar of Dementia
OMG a Reid Duke Modern video! I'm so happy! These are my favorite things to watch (especially if they're Jund, but anything Modern is dope)
Thanks! Love how you explain everything so that even my stupid ass get it!
Top 10 Anime Betrayals
(still upvoted, though)
So how long until Wizards just bans graveyards altogether?
Brian 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Welp
"A good intro to the format"
Pssssh only 14 power on turn 2?
I think Reid specifically got one mismatched Altar of Dementia and I love him for it!
Min 43:13 convoke Hogaak out so Turn 3 kill unless they chump vine with Baral (and you can even save the looting in the gy)
Was just gonna comment this.
He does play hogaak turn three
What's with the peach emoji on the bottom left
yarrrthekraken I think it’s cuz he is part of the Peach Garden Oath
Love watching Reid duke. I wish he was playing that new jund deck though 😉
2 years later, hogaak is banned out of existence. Counter spell is in modern. And these comments are premium. Still cool to see Reid play some of those “old” nutty decks.
At 43:00 if he had cast Hogaak, I think he would have won this game, unless I'm missing some reason not to cast the Hogaak
How would he have won the game by Casting hogaak?
This is technically Jund?
No, it's technically Mardu
@@pairot01 Green, black, and red are all there, it's jund.
@@FlourescentPotato You can't generate green mana but you can generate white mana, it's mardu
I've seen lists run 2 overgrown tomb as well
Reid, please, the world wants to see you playing legacy. We beg you.
Reid Duke playing an unfair deck. What has Modern become?
Reid Duke plays GB decks. Just so happens that GB gets to be unfair now.
This is like the third Star Wars movie.
Reid, you may have fallen to darkness but I believe you will comeback to us.
I haven’t played modern in a while, and have been wondering what this deck was all about. Glad to see my favorite pro give it a whirl!
Love it when he plays Jund+Abzan. Truly the Keanu Reeves of Magic
I was considering stopping Standard because Teferi/Narset every game was gross.
...Modern is in an even worse spot. I guess I take out a loan and move on to Legacy :(
Turn 2 Karn into T3 Mycosynth. It's all bad, mate.
@@FadeToBlackBolt pauper is great
Pauper though.
Can confirm legacy is infinitely better, there's at least counterplay to virtually everything
Legacy also has Teferi & Narset, plus Force of Will. Not to mention the price tag of the format...
Why did Reid not cast Hogaak in his second main to present lethal next turn at 43:07?
He mentioned he overlooked it a like 3 minutes later lol.
I need to see you play a new jund deck with wrenn.
The best way to find out how to beat a deck is to pilot it
And the answer is hope they misplay
1:47:00 mill him out! Don't let him have another turn
You do realize that the changeling taxes him for every mill, right
Wow jund has really evolved since the last time I saw it..
Ah... the good old times. These were simpler times. When Modern was great and every sideboard had 4 Leylines =)
2-3 max* 2 were in the mainboard of most decks during Hogaak's reign lmao
This card was legit designed for Reid Duke, love it.
Darkblast mvp against infect.... I got most of the meta decks, but tend to run infect and felt bad for the guy....is hogaak greater than dredge?
I have the need for more Reid!!!!!!!!
"Nice turn 3. Now watch mine"
43:10 you could have casted hogaak post combat for the win next turn
I came here to say the same thing - you can cast Gaak from hand!
@@MrLivebynight It's a tricky card, I've certainly missed plays by thinking you can *only* cast it from the yard. The most important thing is that he reflected on it later and decided it was an error.

Grapeshot is a sorcery
haha oh right, forgot about that :D
Never forget
Streaming mean is opponent could wath his hand and sideboard couldn't it ?
43:10 why not cast hogaak before passing?
Lol. I cant decide on using eldrazi tron or hogaak. Which one is better?
43:06 Why didnt you cast hogaak?
Why the peach emoji?
43:15 why didn't he cast the Hogaak?
Fetching before dredging/looting is aweful with bloodghasts in the deck, even if it’s 2 post board.
Modern jund or legacy grixis control are the decks you need to let us see you play Reid! Make it happen we are all begging for it.
I could easily watch a channel filled with reid playing nothing but those decks
look at Reid thinking about his decisions, i don't think he knows he's playing Hoogak.
Without bridge, no pesky zombie token to fuel altar and hoogak
I'd say its a good nerf done by wizards
The beard Duke for ‘ta win
and thus, a pro begot the banhamer, thanks for
No Reid! How could you?!
43:10 Why not cast Hogaak before passing? 🤔
He'd have to exile Faithless Looting, perhaps that's it?
Not really, he had three untapped creatures on the field and five cards in the bin, while Hogaak was in his hand. So he could cast it and still keep exactly Looting in the yard 🤷♂️
Oh yeah, I keep forgetting it's seven mana. I guess he just didn't see it
You were ment to be the chosen one!!
9 ads. Cool 👍
Please stream modern more!

strong player, op tier 0 deck, wonder if he goes 5 0
Looks like a really fair and balanced game.
He plays storm in vintage he plays what's good he's a pro people, quit your whining lol
reid, are you purposely not siding the mismatched altar out rather than the other ones?
Our Lord is playing an unfair looting deck, press F for modern
Didnt play modern back then, ah so that's why Hogaak and Bridge are banned
Wow, I didn't know how stupidly powerful and dumb this deck is until now... Something in this deck has to go, probably Bridge from Below has to be banned
Reid, you were the one we looked to, why?
New Jund list when?
I think getting help from people in chats is very unfair in competitive leagues. I get that there is no way to stop it and that Reid is obviously great enough to not need the help. Still it's pretty lame that folks can do that.

Ban looting and altar
Rich Pepperoni Professional Pizza Parlor If that's the case, Altar. Looting is in too many decks.
Eye of ugin makes hogaak look fair and balanced
My prediction is no changes to any format. I think they will wait since to see the meta game attempt to adjust and there’s also reprint of Leyline of Void /Grafdiggers cage coming out

Looting was fine before the introduction of this filth. Hogaak will never not be oppressive as a card that can benefit from literally any grave synergy. This much power on turn 2, in this consistent of a fashion, is absolutely absurd.

Could you play Vintage Bug Midrange?
Saweeet
I want try play BW antimeta enchantments deck with 4x RIP and 4x of both leyline, bridge and other bad stuff. Maybe splash red for bloodmoon. If I can't have fun play modern no one will have.
Damn, my boy looks hawt with that beard.
Jund pls! =)
It is the end times
BANNED!!
U should fight with evil but not join to it
is this jund
mismatched Altars!?! Unsubscribed
Oh shit that's the first thing I noticed and he mentions it decently into vid
Nooooo Reeeid
Lol turn 2 , turn 1 Hogaak : Play swamp, cast Dark Ritual, play entomb select Hogaak, with the Meaning 2 swamps play Exhume and select Hogaak
Your welcome
They took MTGs white knight and brought him down
You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain
It's jund/mardoo normal stuff
So many errors, I think the chat is distracting him. I mean it's not the chats fault, nor Reid's, but I think that's why.
martinrosschou most of the errors were minor and did not affect the game. I think most were because he had not played the deck before
Zephyr Nace-Beach fair. He also comments on the major ones through out or shortly after.
So it’s not like he is oblivious that he makes them.
I wonder how long they will leave modern as a unplayable horrible format before making a ton of bans.
its not unplayable nor horrible. Modern is fine. If you want to play more interactive magic, standard or legacy is available. If you want very fast and linear format, then modern. I dont think every format has to be the same.
@@bladeflesh Your opinion is wrong. It is a horrible format.
@@gabriels1163 then dont play it lol. I love the format. Its like vintage but a fraction of the cost.
@@bladeflesh I think Vintage even has more interaction.
@@JV-lq3tx yeah we've gotten to the point where mental misstep would somehow be an improvement
The deck is a little strong and by a little strong I mean HOLY FUCK I just killed my opponent on turn 2.

Ban. The. Filth.
I really dont like this version of the deck. I would stick to jund colors with 2 tombs and claims instead of the white evoke guy.
What do you gain from that? Hardcasting a vengevine? I prefer winning on turn 3.
The evoke creatures count towards bringing back the vengevines.
Hooooooooooo ruclips.net/video/_iDALjY4QnY/видео.html
Man. That's disgusting. Good god. Glad I stopped playing
one of the fans in his computer is unbalanced and it ruined the whole video for me
Wow modern has devolved into a flaming pile of linear garbage. So glad I stopped playing magic competitively.
