@@kzelmer slice and dice is amazing against a lot of decks. It’s one of the best cards in the deck in my opinion. It’s super strong against elves and still very good vs goblins, sligh, other weenie decks or mana creatures. The deck has so much burn that it’s not a problem to cycle it and then add a bolt to kill something big. Sometimes just casting it to wrath is good too. But the card draw is really useful as it helps us get to other stuff more quickly. Obviously you side them out vs decks that they are really bad against but it’s definitely a 4 of must play in my opinion

@@targetplayer thank you for creating this deck!

@@SSolemn watch my video about where to play premodern. Most people don’t have a local community and play in webcam events. There was actually a faerie deck that did quite well recently

@@IPlayMagic Wow, really? If you know how to find that list I would be so grateful, and thank you, I'll go amd watch that video 🧚

@@SSolemn it’s in the rouge section of TC decks. I use the term faeries very loosely, it uses lots of small blue flyers including cloud of faeries to chip in damage and then uses lightning bolt and a red spell that lets you discard cards to buff all of your creatures so you can swing in for big damage

@@IPlayMagic Found it! Thank you! (Mine was UG)

@@chaucansk8 thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it

@@empil98 that’s cool, I’m not sure if you have seen my bogles video but it’s quite a cool green white deck that uses a similar strategy

@@lukewandyg thank you glad you found it helpful

@@paulheinrichdietrich9518 it sometimes sees play but usually it’s too much mana and would slow the deck down. Plus the deck doesn’t really need it because of the lord that returns zombies from the gy to hand

@@gabrielesquaratti5709 time to build some decks and join the monthlies 😊

@@slowtrigger ahah I think it’s a good thing because they probably won’t be cheap forever unfortunately. I’ve watched many of them go from almost nothing to actually worth something over the past 5 years

I have another video about the banned list if you’re interested in that. I highly recommend this format, it’s super fun. Thanks for the kind words I’m glad you enjoy the video and found it helpful

@@steelzepplin2012 aha yeah that’s awesome, I’m still a fan of the classic turn 1 dark ritual into hippie or negator but nothing feels quite like duress cabal therapy one drop on turn one

@@VampiricTutor thanks for the support

@@cartweel thank you and thank you for your support

@@ericmoses9066 a lot of decks have started playing survival, feb, elves , aluren, and madness all play it. I’ve seen it in the rock although it’s not really that common because of deed. There are also a bunch of midrange value/ combo decks like another similar deck to feb that I can’t remember the name of. I think it’s getting to the point where almost every creature combo deck with green is running it

@@IPlayMagic Thanks for the reply. I have seen it quite a bit as well and have been wondering how to shut down the recurring advantage.

@@ericmoses9066 anything that nerfs enchantments or graveyards will do it

@@IPlayMagic Yeah I have gone that route but if it hits the table with some open mana even the activations in response to its removal seem really strong. On another note I know you play replenish from the videos. I have an interesting take on it if you're interested.

@@ericmoses9066 I play a bit of everything, I try to play something different every month for the videos and I can borrow cards pretty easily (why I sometimes have random versions of certain stuff) but I do love replenish yeah, and I believe I was the first person to put exalted angel in the sideboard which I had loads of success with. What’s your take on the deck ? I’m always interested in that stuff

@fpawluszmtg Thanks, and yeah I was thinking about doing something like that. I actually think our two channels really helped to popularise tsabos web because I noticed be became a lot more common to see it after we made a bunch of videos talking about it. Yeah those are definitely underused good cards especially scrying , I think eradicate is quite underrated as well but I will have to look into it more and find a whole list of cards.

Absolutely agree! I went through my premodern bulk the other day and pulled out a stack of cards that I thought might be underplayed. Curious to see what a "5 Underplayed Cards in Premodern" video series would look like.

I thought that people had finally caught up with how good Scrying is?

@@Reuben.Aotearoa Still not seeing it in any Rock decks or stuff like that. Ppl are playing it more, but nowhere close to enough considering how amazing it is.

Teferi's Response, Smother and Spark Spray should be on the list

@@lutz4820 glad you found it helpful, thanks for the comment

@@christopherweinland1693 thanks for the comment !

@@reid2826 yeah I do see your point as oath does get randomly jammed into a bunch of decks although it’s not really ‘standard practice’ for that deck. At the time I just thought it’s too much of a build around card and doesn’t see as much play as survival which is starting to get jammed into almost every green creature deck. Perhaps no oath was a miss from me but I still think it’s a bit narrow to be considered a generally good green card.

@@IPlayMagic Yeah. I do think its a bit more present than something like standstill outside of landstill. But yeah fair. Still a good vid for anyone new to the format for sure

@@reid2826 I’m not really sure about that (ankh tide often plays standstill too), it’s hard to say for sure and I’ve definitely encountered a lot more jammed in standstills and as it seems like we’ve been facing more oath decks than usual lately so it’s hard to tell😂 but yeah I see your point. Thanks and I’m glad the video is useful

@@gpgp9198 thank you !

I thought about including those but I havent seen Hyppie in a really long time as a lot of decks stopped running it a year or 2 ago, it probably will become more popular again if the meta becomes really control orientated though. I thought that rancor doesnt really see enough play to include it either as it's only in a tiny fraction of the decks that have access to green mana (even some aggro decks with green such as goblins dont run it).

I get asked about this reasonably regularly so thought it was about time that I made an updated video about it. Especially as I do think the format has changed a little over the past 5 years

@@thehussar5604 thank you !

@@Lord_Of_The_Funeral_Pyre yeah that probably should be part of at least the sideboard, the premodern meta has changed a bit since I made this video and I think back then people really underestimated/ forgot how good contamination locks are

@@Lord_Of_The_Funeral_Pyre yes I will finish that video soon

@@IPlayMagic Can't wait to see it

@@Rabid_Wombat I will have to have a look into it , but I have so many videos waiting to be made right now

@@IPlayMagic no rush mate! Thanks for all you do for the Premodern community 🍻 www.tcdecks.net/deck.php?id=39921&iddeck=424527

@@Rabid_Wombat interesting list but I personally prefer the standard contamination control list, and thankyou I'm glad people find the videos useful.

@@gates7831 nope that is a different deck, I don’t think it’s quite as strong as this

Pretty sure JP gotta Top 4 finish with this deck so not just cool 😎

@@GabAssbreaker I think it’s partly because people play the more well known and stronger decks more too, it’s definitely possible to win with a wide range of decks

@@Rabid_Wombat I did top 4 a big event with this deck yeah 😊

@@Heavy_Play and thank you for your videos ! Great gameplay

@@christopherweinland1693 it’s a super strong and super fun deck, very straightforward to play although the combo matchups are a bit stressful 😂

@@christopherweinland1693 it’s a super strong and super fun deck, very straightforward to play although the combo matchups are a bit stressful 😂

Worship isnt really an issue for this deck as those decks generally struggle with keeping creatures in play but also because disk kills worship. Thats the same reason why icy and null brooche dont see play, although I do think that brooche could be ok although it's very slow.

@@IPlayMagic Disk is a pretty good argument against Worship. I was more refering to playing Worship yourself since you can keep the stay-at-1 with just activating any manland

@@zirilan3398 oh, it’s totally unnecessary because generally speaking this deck is not dying to aggressive creature decks at all. It might be useful against burn from slight but at that point there are better cards like warmth or cop red or probably something else

Thanks for the support, I really appreciate it. Yeah its super fun and a very solid deck

thankyou!

@@bellyhead1988 , it means that you can only play cards that use the old card frame (not the one from Mirroden onwards) so it means that if you want to play a reprint then it needs to look like the version from the original sets. For example a 6th edition llanowar elves would be ok but an m11 version would not

@@melvinfz0301 they’re both difficult to play and expensive to build due to survival of the fittest in aluren and serras sanctum and argothian enchantress in enchantress (both versions) I wouldn’t recommend someone new to the format start with those decks. I think aggro decks or more straight forward combos are the best for newcomers to the format

@@IPlayMagic Thanks for your answer. I'm a veteran player. I still have my old Goblins, Reanimator & The Rock decks (but I sold the fetch lands since I stopped playing physical many years ago). Remember the old extended format and always have a crush on Aluren, somehow that was my dream deck.

@@melvinfz0301 Yeah I like aluren too. I think it's more about the huge card pool and interactions that take a while to get used to. Small decisions can make the difference between a win and a loss and forgetting a sideboard card exists if you havent played for years like armageddon or meddling mage etc can be game over for a control or combo deck. Or even not knowing that goblins runs pyrokenisis in the sb for example can totally change a game. Generally I think it's a lot more enjoyable and easier to get used to with a more linear deck like goblins.

@@navarroth thank you, I’m glad you enjoy the channel

@@heddysteve7078 that’s a cool deck and I still think it has room to be explored and developed. The main deck enchantment destruction is probably quite good right now because of all of the survivals and oaths going around. It’ll probably be a while before I make that video though because I still have so many waiting in the list of videos to make
