Game two , our friend ThrabenU went to play modern to run away from psychic frog legacy reanimator nonsense and was matched up against.... Atraxa, psychic from modern deck
R2 opponent tilting off against you after playing triple hand rip menace creature, turbo meta deck with psychic frog muddling the combat, and the instant speed reanimate. So funny, and tbh, nothing but gratification that a pilot of that deck was tilting.
I did not watch the matches yet, but I absolutely love when you sprinkle some of your greek and latin knowledge in card names and so on. Do it as often as you'd like to!
Cat tribal decks will always be near and dear to my heart. My first every deck that I built, bought, and played myself was a GW cat tribal deck in amonkhet/HOD standard. It wasnt particularly good, but it was fun. Really excited for this one
21:53 If you are not going to attack with the cauldron familiar anyway, you souldn't bring it back from the graveyard with the ability. The Guide of Souls you drew next turn could've given you an extra energy
Witches oven! I love this combo and I believe it would be possible to add some card advantage. New dark confidant maybe? Or splash blue for psychic frog :D
I can see it maybe being worth trying an Ygra + Cauldron Familiar deck somewhere, but I don’t think it’d slot well into this deck, at least not without so many changes that it just becomes a completely different deck. 5 mana is already expensive, especially for a deck that as seen in this video already struggles with land count quite a lot, and it’s adding another colour as well which means some further strain on the already struggling manabase. You then also want ideally 2 Cauldron Familiars to try and win the turn you get Ygra in play, while this deck can’t dig very hard for either side of the combo, only really with the Surveil lands. I have no idea if a deck built to better support that combo would actually good, but I definitely don’t think Ygra slots well into this deck.
Once Nadu gets banned in modern, it is good to know Psychic Frog, another MH3 creature, is poised to take over the format. Got to keep those packs selling!
Legacy is busted (~1/4 scam metashare). Let's play Modern! Thank god combo sucks on MTGO. The funniest thing is that the next format biggest format, Pioneer, also has it's rakdos problem (I'd say vampires, but Tree of Perdition combo is playable in the same Thoughtseize/Fatal Push/Doomblade-equivalent shell that's been top tier since 2022).
@@kithkindeckYes, with Agatha’s soul cauldron. You dump it into the graveyard with one of Red’s million discard/draw spells, give the ability to a 1/1 with cauldron, set the opponent to 2 life and then kill them at your leisure.
@@kithkindeck The rakdos shell is pretty flexible and the answers are the best in the format (there's a reason it's been the best deck in years now), even more so when some of the combo pieces want to be discarded to blood tokens/fable of the mirror breaker/demand answers. You discard the tree and use Agatha's Soul Cauldron to give it's ability to a 1-2 toughness creature without summoning sickness and then either finish them in combat or with Voldaren Thrillseeker (or it's ability from the graveyard with cauldron). Saffron Olive has a recent video with it on MTGGoldfish, though a better version of the deck plays both the cauldron/tree combo and the Sorin/Ripper one. All creatures in the deck are vampires and you can sculpt a good enough hand while discarding thrillseeker and the tree. Ironically, the second best deck, Amalia combo, also centers around vampires. Half the meta dies to garlic bread.
@@amatheuslc Half the meta dies to garlic bread. Get Mengucci in here. We need italian tech to solve this format. Amazing. I used to sling the trees at fnm and got tons of laughs out of em. Cool to think I might get to dust em off.
What does Fracture do! Lol. Only card I've never seen and apparently super irrelevant this league. Edit: Looked it up, pretty irrelevant. Destroy artifact, enchantment, or pw

A comedy of errors.
Wizards is really out here printing better cheaper psychatog

I love your brief linguistic tangents!
Cracks me up everytime you forget to change the animation.😂😂 probably more than 5 videos later and from playing legacy to modern.😅😂😂

It's me. I play the cat decks.
oh god that all counters and removal + psychic frog deck is infuriating

Goes to play modern to escape Reanimator
Looks inside
It's Reanimator
Round 2 is the reason I only play commander
I got a cat food ad on this video
wrath of the skies does have a lot of collateral damage, but is a necessary evil against the Nadu decks
Witches oven!

Or splash blue for psychic frog :D
Regal caracal not being in the deck makes me sad but I also understand why
MEOWWWWWWW, proud cat ladies unite!!!
I LOVE CAULDRON CAT
LET'S GOOOOOOO
Wasn't Ajani pridemate a cat though
0:15 you can tell everybody... This is my de-e-eck
35:07 tfw you get beat down by cat deck
Obligatory algorithmic contribution
I would have 4 Ajani's instead of 3. The second Ajani flips the first, so they are better in multiples.
and kitty goes meow
Could maybe replace the Harvesters with Troll of Kazadum. Allows to "increase the land count", but can also get cute with Nightmare. No idea.
Nice deck!
I found your timing a bit off. Most notably, why discarding Harvester of Misery at sorcery speed, at 42:05?
I wanna build a cat deck!
Opponent one makes me not want to play magic anymore lol
Heck yeah cats :D
Also I just realized Ajani is a CATaclysm effect 🤣
Wouldn't the new Sorin from MH3 synergize well with a lot of cards in this deck?
Hey Phil, change the holographic animation.
Sherwood Fort
Nya nya nya nya nya
Cathonian is also English for catheter which if u ever had one put in can also say they are from hades.
Id probably sub if there was more modern videos. I just want to pretend that I can afford the decks :(
ygra from bloomburrow would slot right into this as maybe a 2 of for the win with cat combo
Cat guns go brrr

P*sy tribal deck 😅
Wild that we're playing 3 ajani but no red permanents, but ok
