Twas the Friday before bannings and all through the Discord All the masses were yelling about the most hated cardboard "Ban Bauble, Ban Frog, Ban Nadu and Raker." "Ban Spawn! Ban the Ring! Can we unban Tinker?" But then came the announcement and their faces fell flat "There's diversity so we're making no changes to formats"
I love seeing how Alluren has evolved. My first large legacy event when I was a new player I had never seen the deck before. I played against it ~round 4 and my oppo walked me through the combo loops as we both had a laugh about how sick it was to bounce and drain over and over lol
At 12:48 you can actually play around a removal spell by playing harpy first. You cast harpy, etb on the stack flash in ice fang. If they try to remove either creature, pay 1 life to pick up harpy and flash it back in to pick up the coatl
Other things an ukkima partner trigger can do: Shuffle your brainstorm Shuffle an opponents library after a tutor or scry/surveil on top Peek at an opponents hand and deck if you control an opposition agent
At 13:05 where you goto cast Cavern Harpy after the Ice-Fang, you were worried about your opponent casting Dismember or rotating for a Talon Gates. If you had cast the harpy first, bounced it with it's activated ability but left the trigger on the stack, you could then have safely cast the Ice-Fang, drawn a card and then let the harpy trigger resolve to bounce the Ice-Fang. If they went for removal, you would then have had the Cavern Harpy in your hand to flash in to save it.
As a long term aluren lover, I love this. Should this deck play bowmaster, 100%. Should this deck play acerack, yeah probably. But we’re not here for that. We are here for infinite turns.
Was there a line r1g1 where you endurance yourself to get sage of hours back in deck. Then draw your deck and take infinite turns to plus grist and drain them with grist ultimate through glacial chasm and one ring.
Title reminded me that Psychic Frog is in fact a frog, which sent me down a rabbit hole of Psychic Frog/Baleful Strix/Splash Portal value core. Don't think there's much to it though, the other Frog/Bird tribal payoff stuff (like Valley Floodcaller) is I suspect too slow and I don't think there's quite enough reasonable in-tribe things... ...well, I guess Birds of Paradise is a bird. Love cavern harpy as a Magic card in general, btw.
bro you can stack cavern harpy to beat 1 removal spell Put the harpy in play then flash in the strix with the bounce trigger on the stack and pass priority
still watching so unsure if you pick up on it later, but veil of summer lets you play through bauble, not saying that makes it worth if it doesn't achieve anything else in the matchup but it does what the shepherd was supposed to do
I'm not great at deck building so i usually don't comment on that, mostly pointing it out as it already is in the sideboard. but not being boarded in while trying to play shepherd to achieve the same effect, that's what confused me
@ it’s true, I didn’t notice that it was in the sideboard until after. It could actually be mainboarded I reckon, but either way it probably should be sided in there. A lot of combo decks with free spells now mainboard veil partly to force their combo through their own bauble.
This league was awesome. Really looking forward to Monday though... I wonder how many times they can break the format for 3 months to sell packs before we stop playing. Hopefully we don't find out!
Something I've liked in aluren is bowmasters, another infinite with cavern harpy + aluren, definitely more playable as a card than ukkima, any specific reason its not in the deck?
“Think of it as trimming YOUR Christmas tree. You don’t want any squirrels running out at the big holiday party.” And that’s why to this day they call me The Deranged Hermit.
I don't understand the frog, can someone explain a situation where frog kills and something that drains on etb wouldn't? Is the idea that you can slow roll it without an aluren and just make a medium sized beater?
It's a pretty different angle, but I think it could be worth trying 4 Aether Vials in this list. Parking them on 2 is all but guaranteed to generate a ton of value. Then again, maybe this is a bit too dinky for that sort of value to be a viable alternative gameplan.
As somebody who is not knowledgeable in Aluren, it's shocking to me to see 0 copies of Acererak. Is that a challenge thing, or an MTGO thing, or is the card that much worse than Cavern Harpy + X?
@@Mothringer That's fair, I only had time to watch the deck tech at the time, and then I had to leave. Now I'm back to watch the full video, I should have waited with the question. My bad! Thanks for the answer anyway!

Get as smooth as a frog with manscapped!
Now THIS is frog racing
Amazing
It's working! It's worrrrrkiiiiing!
Breathe of fresh air seeing an off meta deck that isnt just the same meta decks but a few card changes
Twas the Friday before bannings and all through the Discord

Destiny Spinner seems like the prefect include as it lets you go off through a Vexing Bauble and says your Aluren's can't be countered
19:25 You have Veil of Summers in the side that can get your combo through a Vexing Bauble
At 12:48 you can actually play around a removal spell by playing harpy first. You cast harpy, etb on the stack flash in ice fang. If they try to remove either creature, pay 1 life to pick up harpy and flash it back in to pick up the coatl
The Ukkima Partner functionality on MTGO is hilariously troll-y and legitimate. 😂
This video has further convinced me that vexing needs to taste the ban hammer
17:05 ''Acererak is literally unplayable on magic online'' shoutouts to aspiringspike chilling in his dark pool
Other things an ukkima partner trigger can do:
Shuffle your brainstorm
Shuffle an opponents library after a tutor or scry/surveil on top
Peek at an opponents hand and deck if you control an opposition agent
It's interesting. There's nothing better than a meme/old deck winning but it does suck when it just goes 0-5.
Love to see it winning. GGs

Whether it's good or not, I always enjoy sultai. I understand it's never quite there more often than not but I do love it
As a long term aluren lover, I love this. Should this deck play bowmaster, 100%. Should this deck play acerack, yeah probably. But we’re not here for that. We are here for infinite turns.
Btw a cleaner solution to the modo problem us Ayara, first of Lochthwain.
It works against TOR protection too
Bosh and Aluren. Two great flavors. Even better together.
The biggest lesson I took away from this video is that Abrupt Decay is still a really good Magic card.
Was there a line r1g1 where you endurance yourself to get sage of hours back in deck. Then draw your deck and take infinite turns to plus grist and drain them with grist ultimate through glacial chasm and one ring.
Sage is exiled by Bojuka Bog
@theemathas ahhh. Knew I was missing something
Bosh could probably go his whole life without having to recharge that shaver!
Siked more than anything to see the boy get the Manscaped sponsorship.
Gaea’s Herald or Prowling Serpopard work the way you wanted Allosaurus Shepherd to, but for more mana obviously.

Love cavern harpy as a Magic card in general, btw.
1:06:46
Proof the Bosh is a smooth-brain control wizard 🤣🤣🤣
Three Tree Scribe looks like a good add to my EDH deck.
This was a great trip down memory lane.
I wonder if there’s an insane way to turn this into green stompy instead
You said... in the subconscious you know what everyone wants on Monday #FreeDeathriteShaman
I am so freaking tired of psychic frog. Thanks for the fun and interesting off-meta deck!
Aluren is always sweet. I wonder if anyone has played Nadu Aluren? Since with those and Man-O-War you flip your entire deck.
Played 9 rounds of paper legacy , my only loss with grixis control was against 12 posts and you beat it easily with alluren 😂
So nice to see
I love beating 12 post
I love mtg because you get fun words like “zenithing”
4:25 but the better question, why not!
That last game, 4 turns of nothing ending with 1 permanent in play.
Not a single land was tapped.
"why are we doing this" but it's fun!
Any thought to including a dour port mage in this list?
Nice Sheppard 😂
bro you can stack cavern harpy to beat 1 removal spell
Put the harpy in play then flash in the strix with the bounce trigger on the stack and pass priority
still watching so unsure if you pick up on it later, but veil of summer lets you play through bauble, not saying that makes it worth if it doesn't achieve anything else in the matchup but it does what the shepherd was supposed to do
There’s a lot of hand attack and free interaction in the format right now anyway, so it seems like a good inclusion
I'm not great at deck building so i usually don't comment on that, mostly pointing it out as it already is in the sideboard. but not being boarded in while trying to play shepherd to achieve the same effect, that's what confused me

Sage of hours?!?! This came out when I first got into magic. I built too many decks around this I should not have.
This league was awesome. Really looking forward to Monday though... I wonder how many times they can break the format for 3 months to sell packs before we stop playing. Hopefully we don't find out!
Hello Mr Bosh. I see you are registering a deck with both island and swamp. Could I interest you in a pet card of mine, Psychic frog?
why not play dour port mage, 2 mana 1/3 blue frog that says you draw a card when a creature you control leaves without dying?
would love to see this in modern lowkey
why not just thassas oracle? Also Flare of denial seems good
Delver of Secrets? What year is this? Love it.
A Thassas oracle would be good, given you draw your deck.
Why not bring veil in against the bauble decks?
I am the unfortunate owner of paper aluren, and i will continue to play it despite the last 2 years of printings being heinously bad for the deck
Something I've liked in aluren is bowmasters, another infinite with cavern harpy + aluren, definitely more playable as a card than ukkima, any specific reason its not in the deck?
You have to gain life in your loop to be infinite. Bowmaster doesn’t kill if opp has more life than you.
@@BoshNRollThat is true, but it does still combo out if you uro'd to get there, also works if you have more life than opponent
wotc please allow aluren to come back to the meta, thank you
Did I just watch an add about Bosh shaving his balls?
“Think of it as trimming YOUR Christmas tree. You don’t want any squirrels running out at the big holiday party.”
And that’s why to this day they call me The Deranged Hermit.
Essence Warden should be great.
I don't understand the frog, can someone explain a situation where frog kills and something that drains on etb wouldn't? Is the idea that you can slow roll it without an aluren and just make a medium sized beater?
There’s nothing that drains you can use Zenith to find. It’s mostly just trying a new card for fun, but that’s the justification.
Why is DRS out of bounds but Tamiyo is not? Free DRS !
five, six, pick up strix
Ban stuff until Aluren is good
Love it.
why is acererak unplayable on mtgo? is it bugged or something?
The clicks are intolerable. It takes 6-10 clicks to move forward one room in a dungeon and you have to complete a 4-room dungeon 20 times.
@@BoshNRoll ah brutal
Ban things until aluren is good again
It's a pretty different angle, but I think it could be worth trying 4 Aether Vials in this list. Parking them on 2 is all but guaranteed to generate a ton of value. Then again, maybe this is a bit too dinky for that sort of value to be a viable alternative gameplan.
destiny spinner ?
Destiny spinner
tree pack smoke em if youre 3 cmc or less
Allure? Who? Where ?
As somebody who is not knowledgeable in Aluren, it's shocking to me to see 0 copies of Acererak.
Is that a challenge thing, or an MTGO thing, or is the card that much worse than Cavern Harpy + X?
Mtgo thing
He literally answers this question with his commentary in the first match, maybe watch the video.
@@Mothringer That's fair, I only had time to watch the deck tech at the time, and then I had to leave.
Now I'm back to watch the full video, I should have waited with the question. My bad!
Thanks for the answer anyway!
Ban the F bauble
Lick frogs if you gottem
where's nadu?
Firts one
