I think snapcaster would be good in the sideboard for the mirror matchup. It feels like it would be pretty strong and control is one of the stronger archtypes right now
That main phase fetch/surveil into Phlage in round 3 was one of the most "play to your outs" examples of situational knowledge. Flipped that game from way behind to winning with one move!
36:26 I think the statement about invert polarity is incorrect, when you cast Invert Polarity against Force of Negation, by gaining control of Force of Negation you have resolved Invert Polarity, hence you can't make Force of Negation to target Invert Polarity and you will have to target your own "The One Ring", you essentially had a 50/50 chance of countering the Force of Negation. I'm happy to be explained otherwise.
I just double checked this, gaining control of the spell and choosing new targets are both things that happen while invert polarity is resolving, since it is still resolving it is still in the stack making it a legal target for force of negation making it fizzle
Nearly every Match on Pro tour stream He lost, he lost to the 2 Drop that takes your energy away. I think the greatest weakness is no good answer to this hate card neither in the sideboard nor in the Mainboard. And with him getting so far and all the other energy decks this hate card will be there even more often. I might be wrong but i feel a good answer is needed. At least 2 endings or something in this direction
ending is not great at dealing with suncleanser because the damage is done already when you can't wrath because of the thread of chord for suncleanser. I see more jeskai decks play leyline binding again as well as some amount of solitude
jeskai certainly the more powerful deck than UR wizards but UR doesnt lose to moon and on the contrary can play it themselves. also it is the best deck in the format at maximizing tamiyos power which is not nothing. I think generally you should pick jeskai, but UR certainly has its spot in the meta. for example if amulet titan makes a comeback after the nadu ban I would be happy to sleeve up UR wizards with lots of flame of anor, subtlety and harbinger again. Also not having to bother with tune the narrative and just play 4 tamiyo 4 preordain instead feels much nicer and more consistent
is tune the narrative good enough? It helps get to wrath of the skies for 2 mana, but also so does Galvanic cause it kills most things and it has leftover energy most of the times. I swapped out to preordains to test but its too early to tell. I like to dig deeper for sure, but the residual energy is nice. Maybe I could split them. Ill keep testing it out thanks for the VEEDEOS
I think you have to play it. Cantripping is a staple of control decks in every format and having an additionally enabler card is huge for the energy package. Discharge is way better than tune in a vacuum but for the Jeskai control deck you just don’t have the slots or the gameplan to play stuff like guide of soul that help enable energy in the low-to-the-ground aggro/midrange energy builds
@@ZachPettit-e4u Yeah its true plus it is instanty speed and slightly less clunky. Im currently testing now so i'll see what feels better. Match up dependant for sure
I don’t hate it in the deck tbh. The upside is alright on your opponents end step, and it doesn’t feel bad pitching it either since it’s not really impactful. It’s also a blue card and usable in every matchup. Spell snare feels much much worse in matchups like living end that don’t really play 2 mana spells. Subtlety also doesn’t stop the cascade trigger in that matchup, so until you can sideboard it’s a rough matchup I would say for modern league on mtgo it’s worth bringing blood moons, at least on sideboard, for the nadu matchup
@@nickcason9298 you can also use ur fetchlands to turn it into a baby consider, not great but it is a good thing to do if you were showing counterspell and they didn’t bite
God I hate this deck. It’s one of the 3 that totally smashes my jank little soul sisters deck. If it weren’t for those 3, I’d dominate every tournament practice room game 😂
Love your content ! Two questions. What does Dranith help against, and how critical is Minamo to the deck? Do I HAVE to have it or can I sub it with something else?
I’ve been SCOURING RUclips for a week looking for ANY quality content on Javier’s deck list and couldn’t find anything. Thank god for Mangu
Same..
YungDingo released a video with it too, I think two days ago.
Same
I love Modern Control decks as well as Mid-Range decks 🙏🏻

Just jam 3teferi and the games over

Yeah!
I am a simple man, I see pepengu playing modern, I click like

@@Vermilio893 great point thank you
Solitude is goated
I've been waiting for this one!!
white creature for the burn matchup seems good. blocks creatures and blanks rift bolt and potentially light up the stage cards
A control video, nice !
A couple of chalice sideboard may help?

You can plhage your own plhage to get 3 lives in the mirror match game2
thougth on arena of glory over henge?
1:17:09 everyone ignoring that opponent double lighitning bolt already dead phlage?
54:28. This is the stack one hopes to be the top of.
Man, the one ring is such an infuriating card to play against and even watch 😂
This deck couldn't exist without the one ring

18:20 why do you say your Nadu video got very few views? It has the second most of all of your videos from the last two weeks.
True! I’m surprised! It started low, I changed title a couple of times and then didn’t check anymore. I guess the last title was a hit!
God I hate this deck. It’s one of the 3 that totally smashes my jank little soul sisters deck. If it weren’t for those 3, I’d dominate every tournament practice room game 😂
mono ring control 😂

Storm and living end, not essensial. Minamo is ok to not have
