I really, REALLY tried to make Wildfire work in Modern so I could play it on this channel but it was just too slow. The deck looks like it was a lot of fun though, so long as you were the one playing it. :)
I remember buying this deck when it came out, and ever since then I've used it to test my self-created decks...it still routinely wipes out nearly every deck I build. It's a solid strategy...that works. It has a few moving parts though...the hardest part of playing the deck is doing things in the correct order, tap this to do that to cast this to do that...rinse-repeat.
Thanks to this deck, I learned to play MTG. Before I played anyway, after knowing the WF deck, I understood how big and deep this game is. I'm still playing and I always remember This deck how the best of then!
the deck is pretty dope. reminds me of the cover art for super metroid for snes. the deck features similar looking dragon and creature looks like metroid. karn silver golem combined with the artifact pieces as mana producers is the metroid armor. that's how to me it looks like.
@@AffinityforMTG i think it's a pretty good deck i been testing it on mana stack. the side board can be artifact hate or blast zone. or ruination. could take out the nonbasic lands and use ruination most competitive decks use full deck of nonbasic lands. i like cards like fire servant, fiery emancipation, gauntlet of might, mana flare, fireball, banefire, crackle with power, pyroclasm, wildfire. ruination. this deck ramps mana and amplifies damage without mana rocks. but sideboard stuff like pithing needle blasting zone shattering spree to counter artifact heavy decks. i think these red decks are very competitive cause other competitive decks use alot nonbasic lands and artifiacts things red is good at dealing with. it's also good vs board sweep decks as i bypass that and nuke enemy with spells that his for insane damage. it's also good vs creature heavy decks cause it's full of it's board wipe. wwhat would beat it regularly in competitive? maybe crucible of the worlds, exploration. groundskeeper. monoblack beat down actually has alot of creatures that cost 4 and are 6/6 creatures. they could have their own mana rocks and their creatures would outsize this wildfires deck in the video. stoney silence would shut down the deck perhaps. white has some stuff that is anti land descruction. i dont know. i never knew about mishra's helix. does it really lock ur opponent down from playing creatures on their turn? if so that's broken ,why not 4 copies of it?
My decks all seem incomplete 20 years later but I always kept my championship deck together amd safe. Crazy seeing it broken down and explained 20 years later. Just a kid buying aimlessly this deck looked really cool. Was year 2000. So new championship deck. Was all special art work and gold borders...signatures. it just looked bad ass. I am glad I still have the full deck intact though it appears the prints from it with the big values are not the championship issued ones =[ never had a reliable source of gameplay...so it was halfway just a collector hobby to me. Wish I could play this deck against people today. I always thought earthquake was insane. With all the colorless you could generate to ramp up x. If you end up with the most health...you can at times just wipe the game. As long as you survive your own massive hit and kill others while doing it.
@@AffinityforMTG I literally bought each one of them off of Ebay. So now I have all 4 decks for each year that they came out. You should do a breakdown of each one as well as Pro Tour decks.
@@AffinityforMTG Well, the problem with wipes and removal is that if your opponent has permanents on the board for you to target in the first place, that means they’ve been casting spells, which means you’re allowing them to play Magic. Even worse than that, if you’re reacting to their spells and permanents then you’re interacting, so you could even be playing Magic _together_. Eww. It’s best to ruin their mana base before any of that ever starts.

Ah, old school magic. Sure it was broken but I was a kid back then, now it's all nostalgia. Hard go believe it's been 20 years since then!

The moment I saw that Wildfire art I knew I had to watch. Man, they had all the good ramp too! You can’t use those in modern! Another sweet deck tech.
Haha, yeah, I like this one! Reminds me of Restore Balance, and I kind of want to try it in Modern even if it's a lot less good. :P
Affinity for MTG I remember MtGGoldfish playing Wildfire in modern a while back, but it definitely doesn’t have the same crazy good ramp, sadly.

That's awesome, and what a crazy deck to learn the game with!
how well does the deck face against affinity. arc bound ravager cranial plating disciple of vault etc

Man do I miss old school magic
can this deck win something nowdays?
Probably not, sadly! Unless you are playing casually.

maybe crucible of the worlds, exploration. groundskeeper. monoblack beat down actually has alot of creatures that cost 4 and are 6/6 creatures. they could have their own mana rocks and their creatures would outsize this wildfires deck in the video. stoney silence would shut down the deck perhaps. white has some stuff that is anti land descruction. i dont know.

Oh yeah, those World Championship decks were so cool! I really wish they still printed decks like that. I guess the Challenger Decks are close...

Play premodern
God, I love land destruction/mana suppression. Maybe because I hate Magic?
Haha, I love board wipes and spot removal, so I'm no different. Magic is less complicated when there aren't any permanents on the battlefield. :P
