27:45 Marshall if you take Jace there and flip him. Your Opp get's control of the flip walker. It is worded as "return to battlefield transformed under its OWNERS control"
I think your assessment of Fatal Push in this format is way off. You're not going to have as high a ratio of sac-lands as a Modern deck, so getting the revolt isn't a guarantee. Far more decks in this format rely on six-drops like Grave Titan and Consecrated Sphinx for there wins compared to formats where Fatal Push is good, so even when you can get revolt Push will not be an answer. It's a playable card and great for some match-ups, but you should not be taking it over Compulsive Research. With respect.
Not liking Wretched Confluence is downright insane. It's almost a guaranteed 2 for 1, and is extremely flexible. I would much rather have Wretched Confluence than Upheaval in this version of the cube.
Nicholas Oldenburg Its a huge reset button all things considered even without ramp. Its a karn ultimate that puts u on the draw vs all strats except burn...
just use the green enablers with Selvana in the cube it's an extra Rofellos, Garruk, Nissa any of the 2-mana making dorks; like untapping a utopia sprawl'd land or Treespeaker who wets their pants for an almost guaranteed 2-for-1 in cube.... :/
Getting Marshall to do this is the same reason to get pros to do it, some people want to see them draft. Obviously Marshall isn't a pro, so if you want to watch a pro draft don't watch this video. That way you don't have to cry about it.
"What's the point of living if you don't get the snake?" :P -I disagree with not countering the Martial Coup during Match 1, not only do you have your opponent dead in two turns with no upside for them if they kill your Spell Queller, you also get to have your opponent on lockdown by keeping up counterspells and Snapcaster for the next turns because you don't have to cast The Scarab God again. It didn't change much in the end, but I still believe it was the better line- Edit: I need to read the cards before commenting
aren't ya excited about the release of modern 25? i know i am as an aspiring youtuber, i.e i think it will be good if it brings in more viewers, not personally of now i believe in others when they say magic is dying and i understand why
I have this feeling that Jace is getting a tad over rated by the folks who played that when it was overpowering standard. But the decks that were overpowered then were as good as they were because they just had a winning combination, of which jace was just one cog. Here in cube, it's a decent card, but I will easily pass it honestly. It will not make me go blue like the 4/6 Sphinx.
I wish you would have played Sorin but great deck and video as always Marshall. Thank you for the awesome content.
was the 18 lands on purpose?

Why take out Batterskull versus control? Isn't it just pretty grindy?
preordain over catacombs at 11:50?
Preordain over Grave Titan? Easily one of the best win conditions in Legacy Cube.
yeah he wanted the land there for sure.. hope to wheel the other.
Hey Marshall I was watching and noticed that there wasn't enough saturation and I was wondering if you could possibly turn it up somehow? thanks :)
"Eeeh what? ... ... I'm taking this card because I've read it before." lol "It's legal in modern so it can't be that good." the shade is real.
I think I saw a chupacabra in the 2nd pack
You did not
Wyatt Sorensen bro issa joke

gammeltfossil i think upheaval is significantly more powerful even without enablers.
Marco Giovanni Eh, I haven’t seen an upheaval cast in this cube to good effect. It just doesn’t do what you want to without ramp.
Nicholas Oldenburg Its a huge reset button all things considered even without ramp. Its a karn ultimate that puts u on the draw vs all strats except burn...
just use the green enablers
with Selvana in the cube it's an extra Rofellos, Garruk, Nissa
any of the 2-mana making dorks; like untapping a utopia sprawl'd land or Treespeaker
who wets their pants for an almost guaranteed 2-for-1 in cube.... :/
how is sensei's divining top in a legacy cube?
Huzzah! Marshall's cuban yall!
Marshall's a simple man: see a Jace, take a Jace.
Don't know why didn't Spell Queller the Jace, would have had counter for martial coup
*Plays Preordain*
*Bottoms Island*
2 turns later: I'd like to get one more land before I fire off this Rev....
Remember cmc=top right corner mlady
Zojirushi’s rock
40:45 Why not Spell Queller the Martial Coup?
Dustin Power Spell Queller can only hit spells with cmc 4 or less
On the stack, X spells have a CMC of whatever it's being cast for. So Martial Coup for 7 had a CMC of 9 there, and he can't spell queller it.
asmallcat ah cool, thanks for clearing that up.
NP
Pretty low saturation
was about to say
His videos have been like that for a while now
2nd game round 3? Why not declaration in stone the thunder maw knowing they have storm breath dragon? Could have saved yourself from that dragon.
No Chupacabra this time!
Could have played both eldrazi and gotten animate dead and show and tell wow
oh let me mention natural order, gilded lotus, dark ritual, natural order, nasty terasty and prime time ugggggg
Channelfireball really should have more pro videos.

Precisely. Too many people talk about he should do this better or that better. I mean he's not a pro, what do you expect?
He's still a very good player and a great communicator. Many can learn something from his videos.

Tylor Reeves You are absolutely correct, I forgot Spell Queller had the CMC 4 or less rider. Guess I should have RTFC'd : P
VAB0L0 I thought the same thing at first. It took me a couple minutes before it finally registered!
would have liked Dismiss cast at some point
the lack of durdling is toxic
Ur second opponent... yikes
aren't ya excited about the release of modern 25? i know i am as an aspiring youtuber, i.e i think it will be good if it brings in more viewers, not personally of now i believe in others when they say magic is dying and i understand why
I’ve never click so fa.... oh its marshal not lsv...
What's wrong with Marshall?!

bless your heart for giving the world more 2nd pick Jace
Only you to make stop watching a draft after the first pick.
