Some of the lists I tested had strike it rich, desperate ritual, and/or goblin anarchaeomancer…they led to too many dread draws, unfortunately. I think relying on Ragavan to get him out quicker if the best move 🙌🏼 Fable of the mirror breaker is also a solid option for this deck 👍🏼
Oh yeah I've had some fun trying to build this in standard. Relying on Kessig Flamebreather and whatever other 1 or 2 damage sources I can chuck together with my shitty collection lol, but it's fun cos it seems like you're doing nothing and then all of a sudden, Larry is there and they die. So surely it can work with many better cards to play with in Modern.
I haven’t watched this vid in a little while, but I’m presuming I rearranged the match order? I do so to create more engaging content that retains viewers longer.
Yes…I had it in the most of the lists I tested, but I gradually shaved from 4 to 3 to 2 to 1 to 0. It’s just such a weak card on its own - without Larry, it was just bad 😕
They do similar things but together they do not work. Because the affected object is your opponent, they get to decide how to order the replacement effects, meaning they can apply Torbran first, then apply Larry which sets it to 4 still.
@@tankdempsey1818 I understand, but still - bumping damage from lava dart to 3 instead of 4 is not a bad deal, and having i.e. 6x this effect instead of just 4x would increase consistency. Still, 4 cmc is very steep in decks like that, which is why i'm asking :)
@@Control4Daze Seeing as there is no nonred source in deck, i assume you mean too high cmc with ie 2 torbens, as it bumps 4cmc to 6 cards? If so i agree, mono red relies on cheaper cards at least in this iteration. Still, i could see some kind of a more control red list where they're bros :)
@@Control4Daze oh man, I've been out of modern for so long I completely forgot it was actually banned instead of crept out 😅😅 would it be that oppressive in this new fangled modern modern?
I thought about bombardment (I’ve been trying to get it in a deck I feature for a while) - I did not think of iconoclast, would have been a cool twist.
I think you should be on less creatures. Ragavan, while being a good card isn’t lending much to your strategy. I think rampaging ferocidon is too slow. I think a thermo alchemist package would be strong here, as well as burn spells in place of rags
Yea, those thoughts were my initial thoughts as well…but testing yielded poor results. The inclusion of Ragavan significantly improved this deck’s win rate and speed.
This is mgto, it is an older mtg client that still contains older and eternal formats like pioneer, modern,legacy and vintage. There is still standard in Arena and they have their own version of pioneer i think. This client is mostly used for the older non rotating formats though.
While i appreciate the attempt to make the video shorter by skipping a ton of actions, it makes it really hard to follow the games, which is the whole reason to watch the video :P

For whatever its worth, which isnt a lot. But I *believe* ,emphasis on believe, the way you say Larry's name is "Oh-hair Ash-Oh-Neel"
I needed the help, so thank you 🙏🏼
It just rolls off the tongue 😂
Yeah, that's basically correct.
Finally somebody making good 10 minute mtg videos who isnt annoying as fuck 🙏🙏🙏
Haha shots fired lol. Appreciate you!
I like the creative ways you’re trying to keep the narration dynamic. You might be the only creator other than MagicAids doing that right now
Thanks for noticing 🙏🏼 A lot of thought and effort goes into every one of these vids…want them to be entertaining from start-to-finish 🙌🏼
Another good creator is brewers kitchen
@@jmacmocs3367 on mtggoldfish, right? I'll have to check it out!
Wish I had discovered this channel earlier, good to see Modern brewing content with great editing!
You’re here just in time…I’m just hitting my stride. Welcome!
I totally agree on this 🙌
I'm considering strike it rich or delighted halfling to try and get Larry down before cascade

Exactly…that first game showcased the “win out of no where”…
“Oh, you’re at 12 life?? Ping you 3x, you’re dead!” ☠️
I'm no red player, but if I were to bring this list to a tournament I would enter it as Larry Burn :D
😂😂😂 Love it! Haha
Ya I’ve been brewing on it love him!!! I tried wrenn as well but didn’t like them in it but viper did awesome work in my opinion
I tried mono red then gruul but I’ve finalized on temur so far to control more to keep it alive an a more clear bird stat when he lands
I kinda went through a similar progression, initially mono-red, then gruul, then finished on izzet to better protect Larry.
As somebody named Larry, I can actually confirm that I do stuff. I think I should make this guy my Commander.
😂😂😂
Larry has SPOKEN!
5:58 why no swiftspear here since you weren’t going to use all your mana
Chalice on 1 would be the reason 😉
@@Control4Daze oh haha, good reason
@@Death_by_Tech
deck seems really good, great games brother.
Thank you my friend! Appreciate you tuning in! 🙏🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼
Nice deck and games, though it looks like you lost match 1 and then won the back 4.
I haven’t watched this vid in a little while, but I’m presuming I rearranged the match order? I do so to create more engaging content that retains viewers longer.
@@Control4Daze that's fair.
Nice video! Subbed
Thanks for the sub! Appreciate it!!!
Oh yeah, just today I stomped a guy playing a deck a bit like this one in standard, he just couldn't stand up to my gruul combat trick agro.
Glad I didn’t get paired against you when making this vid!
Dude, Torbran Thane of red fell already existed and is in my opinion much better since it buffs all the dmg not only noncombat
Sometimes you just gotta try new things!
LARRY IT IS !!!
LARRY!
So first we had Gary. Now we have Larry. Is Bowmasters = Barry?
The secret’s out!
Grapeshot is killer in this.
I tested it extensively - it didn’t make the cut 🚫
Given any thoughts to "Gut Shot"?
Yes…I had it in the most of the lists I tested, but I gradually shaved from 4 to 3 to 2 to 1 to 0.
It’s just such a weak card on its own - without Larry, it was just bad 😕
for reference the red god is pronounced: "O-hair Ash-o-neel"
I needed the help! Thank u!
Would you say Thorbran, Thane of Red Fell has a place in this deck alongside Larry?
They do similar things but together they do not work. Because the affected object is your opponent, they get to decide how to order the replacement effects, meaning they can apply Torbran first, then apply Larry which sets it to 4 still.

It would be sweet if Thorbran worked in this deck, but I think the mana requirement is too steep, unfortunately.

@@7218234 they're definitely bros...from what I hear, they usually hang out at the local bar after work.
Larry the 4 Fo/4 speacial
4/4 for 4 x 4
No grove of the burnwillows and punishing fire?? Ojer might have a right dinosaur arm but i feel like a right dinosaur myself with that comment.
Haha Punishing Fire is Banned, but if it wasn’t, you’d be on to something!!
@@Control4Daze oh man, I've been out of modern for so long I completely forgot it was actually banned instead of crept out 😅😅 would it be that oppressive in this new fangled modern modern?
@@FRAAANKYSUUUPER I think 2-toughness creatures would probably cease to exist in the format...I don't think it would be a good thing.
Yeah especially since Bowmasters and fury already are making dorks worse. Ban update coming
Is flamejab too trash for this deck?
It’s not bad, but discarding a land is tricky bc this deck is very land light. Good idea tho 🙌🏼
It's best if you pronounce his name as "Oh, here" as in oh here's a lot of damage. Ojer=ohere
I like the way you put that…lol 😂
would be cool to add iconoclast and goblin bombardment for hard for larry 4 ping combo xD
I thought about bombardment (I’ve been trying to get it in a deck I feature for a while) - I did not think of iconoclast, would have been a cool twist.
I think you should be on less creatures. Ragavan, while being a good card isn’t lending much to your strategy. I think rampaging ferocidon is too slow. I think a thermo alchemist package would be strong here, as well as burn spells in place of rags

wouldnt gut shot be amazing in this?
It was in a lot of the original builds I was testing, and it was very underwhelming. I shaved copies 1-by-1, until there weren’t any left.
Okay here me out... that red god mixed in boros, or jeskia even. Add colossal hammer.
That was kinda where I started…was running a list with become immense. It was unfortunately hard to get all the pieces to come together.
@@Control4Daze I'd maybe mash it with hammer time, splash blue for control/counter spells and try that.
You seem to have a thing for 4cmc creatures
Next vid is gonna feature one as well 😳
you arent playing areana, what is this?

It is such a delight to see dimir one ring control absolutely demolished by a burn strat 😭🫡
