It's interesting that in a 3color deck you value more wall of roots than birds on the draw against deadguy ale, u want the body to block creatures? Scared of plague on birds? That's a very interesting sb plan
I published a primer where I explain the thought process for building the deck, and every single combo that's included: www.patreon.com/posts/evolving-aluren-109964208?Link&
I was thinking about it, but since we already have the Undiscovered Paradise I am skeptical. Still definitely worth testing, but the next thing I'll try is Adarkar Wastes to begin with. And add Reflecting Pool number 2 as the 21st land.
I am not planning to play a removal game against Tog, I'm trying to play a tempo/value game against them. StP is a dead card in hand until my opp deplots a Tog, and they won't deploy a Tog until they have cleared the way with Duress or have countermagic up.
Not finished yet with the video, but is there any shortcut you can take that will give you at least a winning position through someone who doesn't concede online w. a chess clock?
When I was running Rishadan Cutpurse it definitely helped in that matter, since after you gain as much life as your opponent has permanents you can lock the game up by leaving them with nothing.
Hey Jon! Yeah, I got tired of needing to shell $500+ every time a new direct to Modern set gets printed in order to stay competitive, and simply got tired of WotC's bullshit, I simply don't want to give them my money anymore. Premodern encapsulates everything I have always loved about MtG and has none of the garbage that it has turned into over the past 5 or so years.
@fpawluszmtg that's actually why I quit post MH2. Got sick of dropped hundreds for a single playset of cards. I've really enjoyed your premodern content, and I was thinking of switching over.
@@jon2024 I cannot recommend it enough. The format is incredible, super skill intensive, deep and there's way more room to brew than you'd think. Also there are a ton of viable decks. You can build a gauntlet for the price of a Modern deck :P
I would never play less than 4 Wall of Roots, it's a resilient ramp creature that is just happens to be a combo piece. I also don't think there are any matchups where I'd sideboard out any copies. In my newer list I moved an StP to the board.
OK, OK, hear me out, now. Make your mana worse, play some loose discard spells, then toss in more 4 drops! Seriously, though, your decklist is super sweet. More Mages = Good.
What would you have cut instead? Also it's not necessarily a deck I want the full 4 copies against when I will most likely be naming StP with my own Meddling Mages
@@issmoul931 I don't know, it's my first time playing the matchup, so I am trying things out. I am attempting to employ a strategy on the spot and be coherent with it, it may or may not work, I honestly don't know 😅
Nah, I actually talked to them after the match and they simply were not familiar with the Premodern etiquette. They come from playing more competitive formats on MTGO and it was their first time playing Premodern, so when I told them that the vibes are very much not cutthroat they understood and said they'd know for next time.
That's totally fine! You can build the deck a bunch of different ways, so you can build whichever one you want. This is by orders of magnitude better than any other version I've tried before (and I've tried plenty, this has been a pet deck of mine since I started playing the format).
Hey the audio level is way better! A+ content as always.
Awesome! Glad to hear that! And really appreciate you watching!

Wall of roots is life
Love it!! Its been a blast trying the deck out.
Keep ok rocking
Glad you like it! I'm super excited about this deck!
Siempre escribo en inglés y se me olvida que hablas español jajaja Grande Crack!
@@nachoacdc1 Jajaja pasa que viste que mi inglés es bárbaro, entonces es fácil olvidarse
Looks like I need to get Survivals and try that!
Straight up my favorite Premodern deck.
Another good one. Prefer the survival to wish for for sure.
Survival is love, survival is life
This list is sick!
Thank you! I think so too!
How does the combo work exactly? I’m new to the deck but love premodern so far and I’m interested in everyone’s pet decks.

Thank you! I’ve been looking for this!
@@jimcrowley4315 Enjoy!
I know what am going to do tonight. Thanks bro
Not a bad plan!
Another great video Francisco!
Gracias Maxi, y feliz cumple crack!!!
love the content as ever. would a second treva's ruins be tolerable as the gemstone mine replacement?

Cut all stp against psychatog??! Please explain this move

@@fpawluszmtg don't you think they just slam the tog as soon they have 3 mana up? As 99% of noob (me include are doing)
@@issmoul931 Tom is probably one of the players with the most experience in the world with Premodern Psychatog, so I am assuming he will play well.

@@3o7Mian Wow, we're going really deep here lol
Hey fran, hope all is well buddy. Just started back into mtg and noticed you play mostly premodern now. You done with modern?

Because you asked:
-1 gemstone mine
-1 wall of roots
+1 adarkar waste
+ 1 brushland
I would never play less than 4 Wall of Roots, it's a resilient ramp creature that is just happens to be a combo piece. I also don't think there are any matchups where I'd sideboard out any copies. In my newer list I moved an StP to the board.
I always watch you, why tf I wasn't subscribed yet
Hahaha, it can happen sometimes! Thank you!
So u conceded against Solution?
Yes, he had me and I'm not about that "time my opponent out" life. It doesn't give me useful data on how to improve the deck.
@@fpawluszmtg awesome ❤️
@@micheleb.00 Be the change you want to see, etc, etc, hahaha
@@fpawluszmtg So i'll be a Necropotence!
Let’s go!
Hell yeah!
You really gotta set up a ko-fi so ppl can tip you!
I really appreciate it! I have a Patreon, so if ppl want to send some cash my way I have that ready to go
Premodern : like + comment
Much appreciated!
OK, OK, hear me out, now. Make your mana worse, play some loose discard spells, then toss in more 4 drops!
Seriously, though, your decklist is super sweet. More Mages = Good.
Hahaha, thank you so much! Mage is so sweet
U cut stp against UW solution... ... wtf bro
What would you have cut instead? Also it's not necessarily a deck I want the full 4 copies against when I will most likely be naming StP with my own Meddling Mages
@@fpawluszmtg i didn't expect your first target for meddling is STP in this MU, so maybe remove 3 meddling? Ahah
@@issmoul931 I don't know, it's my first time playing the matchup, so I am trying things out. I am attempting to employ a strategy on the spot and be coherent with it, it may or may not work, I honestly don't know 😅
4:28 Lies. There is no better card than Meddling Mage.
I knew you'd get it right and see right through me, Mike
_King_ should be banned from playing in the MTGO leagues. 👎🏻

i don't like this version of aluren tbh.
Great! You dont have to play it! 🙌
