24:00 Trophy isn't messing with the color pie though. Green kills artifacts, enchantments and lands, black kills creatures and planeswalkers. Together they can destroy anything
@@whitneyweiss3067 Also, there was an old card in Apocalypse (2001) called Pernicious Deed, which was an Green-Black Enchantment that could destroy each artifacts, creatures and enchantments with a cost of X and less (X being whatever you pay to activate its ability). As for lands, black has some sort of land destruction since Alpha with Sinkhole, although it has way less land destruction than red or green.
@@henrye5115 How do you know, I dont think we have ever gotten an Aids face reveal if I recall. He could look like one of the guys from ZZ Top. I remember the first time I saw SaffronOlive's face and was like WTF at that majestic, completely unexpected, beard.
Last game against Izzet, you could've (and in my opinion should have) sacced Selfless Spirit to protect your Eidolon. You won anyway, but he needed another Sinkhole to be able to escape the Eidolon and was facing lethal next turn, which he couldn't have dealt with with the Eidolon in play. Love your content so much!
@@Avoncarstien Gotta disagree. The man plays probably 40 matches a week, minimum, split between like 5 or so decks, and is commentating on all of the matches. He plays extremely tight when he gets to cut out distractions and practice up with a deck. Moreover, he hasn't gotten the chance to play a legit good deck in years.
Sword of Feast and Famine might be solid tech against Jund, where having untapped White means you're threatening Path and most of Jund's threats are just Green or Black anyway, so it's basically going to make a dude unblockable. Anything with more than 2 toughness basically dodges Bolt if they don't do it when you declair the equip, so... yeah. Feelz gud.
Imagine showing this thumbnail to Vince three months ago when hogaak was in full swing and modern was at its lowest. I’d like to imagine a look of joy spreading across his face as he feels the warm glow of hope for the future.
Question: Where do you think humans stands in the new meta game? It didn't take a direct hit from the bans, but it now has to compete with stone forge decks or do you think it just kinda becomes a stone forge deck?
Good stuff as always man. Play mutavault over at least gavony to help with jund. When the vault is in play, there is never a clear board for a planeswalker!
Any thoughts on rare vivien in here? Flash surprise cats are gr8 as well as endstep stoneforge, and vigilance with swords makes the +1not completely irrelevant? Not totally sure if its viable but it's a card i thought of here
"I wonder if you should play Gavony Townships sometimes in Maverick? Probably not, probably not good enough. We're too slow." I'm sorry to tell you Vince, but you are wrong. There has been a Gavony in my Maverick for seven years now, and trust me, it's been good.
Why not run protection creatures like mirran crusader and still moon caviliar? The protection is relevant against most removal in the format and has evasion.
SFM is a very strong card in modern, but it is strong in fair as a toolbox/value creature. Until wizards print an equipment version of eldrazi conscription, it will stay as a fair card without allowing the degeneracy modern has suffered for the last few months.
I mean they have printed Equipment that give enormous stat boosts, many times. The thing is - and this is very important - that EQUIPMENT HAVE TO BE EQUIPPED TO BE USED.
A very underrated card with sfm is elbrus, the binding blade. With it, turns look something like T-1 land, bop or other dork, pass T-2 land, sfm, tutor up ebb, pass T3 land, sfm ebb into play, equip onto the bop and swing, get a 13/13 with 3 forms of evasion on turn 3
@@Insanonaga It's powerful play indeed. Still not too broken considering the presence of push and path (or cryptic bounce), but definately an overlooked card when experimenting with sfm.
In one month ELD releases, and seeing its inspiration, I imagine it's gonna have some equipments inspired by excalibur and other famous items from european legends. Mystic banned again in two months?
love what you do, say, and everything you help to develop magic, but to have a more powerful format (and cards) you should pay double, as long as it doesn't rotate aka permanent format no rotation b.s. like singleton
Hypergenesis eh? How does turn 2 emrakul + griselbrand + whatever else sound? Trust me, if you think neoform is bad, the amount of stupid combos you can rack up with that card is ridiculous.
I still remember seeing a video of you arguing for the unban since it really wasn't that strong, asking who would be so dumb to play cat Jesus and SFM in one deck? 🤔🤔🤔
Everyone: "Tron has the best top deck game in modern"
This random jund player: "Hold my removal"

The mad lad playing cat Jesus and stone forge
19:29 you cut it wrong and put the Leonin Arbiter getting equipped before you actually had it being drawn
Definitely feel like Sword of B&M is a must-have for the Jund match up. if you connect you get another body they have to deal with.
And it beats through most of their creatures
>better at magic than SaffronOlive
That's not really much of a competition. He's not the best pilot.
Seth, proooobably better known as Saffron!punt
@@heartbeat4atinman Oh, that's harsh.
but yeah.....you do have a good point >_>
Seth is a lot better when he's not commentating - when he was in the Modern Super League, he played super well and tight.

Of all the Stoneforge brews I've been looking forward to, this is one of them.
I'm grossly disappointed there was no jingle with updated lyrics: Stoneforge Mystic is unbanned in Mod-ern!
You made significantly different cuts than I expected to fit the stone-forge package.

This is literally my dream video title. Bless.
"I'm partial to a bit of arsehole" this is not what I expected to hear in a GW taxes vid. And I f*cking love it.

Veil of summer and the sword of feast and famine would've helped with the jund match tho
15 years later, Sword of Fire and Ice is still the best sword ever made.
B/W Stoneforge Eldrazi has been pretty good for me
You got a checklist by chance?
I would recommend Aven Mindcensor over Arbiter now that we have SFM. I've been running mono white at my LGS and Mindcensor has been awesome.
I wonder about an eldrazi and taxes deck with stoneforge. Great? Maybe not. Blinkable, yes.
MagicAids just posted a Stoneforge/Eldrazi deck that seems okay
@@Lucasbpc Ok? It destroyed every deck it played against.
Gave a thumbs up just for that can clip

Looks like assault loam not ponza for the second game.

with the prevalence of Jund why not run a feast and famine?
19:50 had Wired ordering from edits
Dan bull eat your heart out OMG what a crossover that would be
*video plays opening logo*
Well. I didn’t need to sleep tonight.
Izzet control... That looks like the kind of fun deck I'd play, lol
You can't field of ruin snow covered forests, it only works on nonbasic lands.
This is the video I've waited my whole life for
Would a few Obstinate Beloths in the sideboard help soften the Jund matchup?
Haha Vince you are the best, probably great at parties too :)
thank you vince, very cool
Arbiter and stoneforge. Oh my
Titanshift has a really good jund MU. Get on titanshift. Splash white for flickerwisp and mystic. Profit.
editing on point...bravo
The Stonefrog Marshstick is LEGAL in MODERN.
Thank you Vince, for unbanning it via Handsome Man-ness
26:45 I felt that
Thanks Vince!
Is there a deck list anywhere online?
God that jund matchup was so tilting to watch, my heart goes out to you Vince
"welcome stoneforge mystic back in.......modern"
PK: Eidolon of Rhetoric is just an Ethersworn Cannonist
Rule of Law: Am I a Joke to you?
Yes. That card is pretty bad.
Thank you for being such a handsome man that wizards had to unban stoneforge mystic
Why not run protection creatures like mirran crusader and still moon caviliar? The protection is relevant against most removal in the format and has evasion.
Bryan Floyd bolt and path would like to have a word.

I forgot how much I just physically dislike watching Jund win.
I won't lie, they may or may not have inspired my version of Land Destruction which may or may not...completely shut them down.
Jund is a BRUTAL matchup for this deck, like it was bad before but with W&6 we are fucked now boys
What about running stoneforge in a colorless + white eldrazi deck with karnstruct karn cause of your artifact
Let me know when you get a chance to use displacer or go against displacer in the mirror because it feels so busted LuL
I think just all the removal that has entered the format or at least has started to see more play has made the card more balanced.
Where can I find the list it’s not in the description and this deck looks sweet
a screenshot of the acreen with the deck on screen
Gregory Grill I guess but I was hoping something more organized or something, oh well
I'll add a link in a moment. Sorry my friend. :)
lol i was just joking
Thank you PK
So is it a unspoken thing that settle the wreckage just says exile youre opponents dudes at instant speed with cat jesus on field
Thanks pleasantkenobi
but, pulse and Abrupt decay also killed Rip, G B can deal with enchantments.
at 12:40 why didnt He just attack with the spirits?
28:30 when every number becomes "third"
Not enough taxes! I want more taxes

wtf dude? What the fuck! What have you done! I was just getting to buy in legacy when SFM spiked as f*ck. Thank you very much! ......
thank you
Its finally happened. :3
I feel as though Vince had a few too many coffees
Why are you comparing the Eidolon to the Canonist and not to Rule of Law?
because Canonist was being played in DnT before and Rule of Law is literally the same effect? xd
Haven't even seen 5 minutes and you have stoneforge and a leonin in the same deck
Yes, I talk about it in the video.
Again, RIP the Jingle
And remember let's keep stone...... Wait!

I think you would be better off playing Crusted Sunmare and Stoneforge is better than with Cat Jesus. Cat Jesus is a jealous lover.
Heretic!
Is that a bugle in my pocket, or am I just happy to see a new PK vid? Lets find out... XD
EDIT: Its not a bugle after all. :P
Is there an actual StoneorgeMystic hashtag or did u miss the F? I will press F if you forgot! :P
To those who want a new jingle, hypergenesis and burning shoal are cards that are banned for some reason
Burning Shoal allows for T2 Infect kills, and Hypergenesis is quite good actually.
Hypergenesis eh?
How does turn 2 emrakul + griselbrand + whatever else sound?
Trust me, if you think neoform is bad, the amount of stupid combos you can rack up with that card is ridiculous.
Thank you for the unbanning Vince.
How much do i have yo pay you for you to play uw spirit blade?
The real answer is to play Gw taxes with arbiter to block other stoneforge decks
