What should I play next?
Play cycle storm in pauper
Mardu Knights Pioneer
I wanna watch a video where you are brewing a deck, any format
I love Pauper, and I want to see you try and make a Tethmos High Priest deck. Maybe Selesnya High Priest, with travel preparations and other good GW threshold stuff.
Beast tribal...it wont be good, but you'd get to say everything is an absolute beast
I like how the first opponent says "cringe" as if his deck isn't also effectively a combo deck capable of quick kills.
If anything opps deck is cringe because it uses the combat step.
Toxic make salty palyers salty
Expectations of originality are more of a multiplayer thing anyway tbh. In 1v1, there's no incentive to play super janky decks because there's no conversation about rule 0, and the type of game people want to play. Criticizing Spike-builds in 1v1 (esp in Legacy lmao) without that prior agreement doesn't work, because jank naturally gets filtered out at competitive levels anyway. If someone insults your build for being boring or cringe in a 1v1, they're basically asking for an easy matchup while they play something more suited to win
Opponent looked in the mirror and cringed
Competative mtg players are so nice....xD
that extra +1 toughness on rotpriest is kind of bonkers because it allows you to shoot gut shots at it without it being killed, and since it's a target trigger it's possible to shoot it with a lethal gut shot to get that last poison counter, even if it ends up killing the preist
You spelled it strangely, but yes it can help to use gut shot on the rot priest, then use ground rift to get 1 bonus poison counters (per rot priest in play).
The best part was where he ripped that card off the top like an absolute beast
After keeping a risky 6
It’s always the best part
Lmfao 🤣
wich one ?
Opponent: Turn 3 kills
You: Turn 2 kills in response.
Opponent: "cringe"
To be fair... that is pretty cringe for the opponent 😂
This was SO well edited and so easy to watch. I want to give you so many kuddos for making it so easy to follow along and see the nuance of the interactions. The video felt short, sweet and full of valid entertaining content. CHEERS.
The best part of Rot Priest is that it is a 1/2 meaning, like you saw in game 2, you can target it with Gut Shot/Lava Dart and it survives.
3:35 I can just imagine Harry going "Yes! Yeees! Salt to hightlight, TY TY Opponent! Hahaha, oh right, let me GG him"
Also the opp missed a huge opportunity to comment something about the deck being Toxic 😆
I would replace some Channelers and Spellskites with Pact of Negation. So you have a free counter if someone tries to interrupt your combo. Because you're either gonna combo off and win or die next turn to your opponent.
That is how a lot of tournaments play tho
This is probably my favorite video of yours, I love the complexity of combo decks and the little tricks that reward you for knowing the rules of the game.
I have been brewing this in a bant control deck where you use this as your win con later on, seems pretty fun and a lot more out of left field, with the option to just transformative sideboard back into a traditional control deck.
Looking forward to trying it out at my LGS
Storm and Infect were two of my first Modern decks, so seeing this deck is like a warm welcome home
And Ground Rift reminds me of the Blanka commander decks where that is a valid kill combo path
Here's to hoping this deck can find its place and tempo. Fun decks are always worth it
So you were one of those people
First deck in Modern was Goblin Storm (SUPER Budget), then Infect. I got bored of Infect because it was too Glass-Cannon for me.
Now, in 2023: Burn and Affinity 8-Cast
I'm glad to hear that my fellow Scherer, Caleb, has made another Storm list, and you proved that it's pretty good. That said, for future reference(if you plan to make another video about Caleb), our last name is pronounced 'share-er', like someone who shares things. Keep up the great content though!
Probably the most important upgrade in this deck imo is noxious revival. Return your toy priest's if they get discarded or removed, it's an extra storm count since you can use it to return mana morphos to top and then use another draw spell to get it back and the card also fills your grave for escape and drc. Try it is a free spell!
Fury, subtlety and Ragavan can be a good addition to the deck, use Ragavan for early game ramp from the treasures, fury and subtlety are good sideboard since they can interact with the board buying you one or two turns and the also count towards storm if you evoke them
Hey @HarryMTG just wanted to point out your play at 2:35 was tight! Your opponent could've responded to the storm trigger from casting ground rift with bolt if you lead with growth
Amazing, as always! Great stuff!
I wanna see a few more iterations of this before I make any decisions.
For instance, I think some number of inkmoth nexus could be useful for racking up the last few poison counters in a game state where you can’t quite combo off.
I think inkmoth is probably bad 99% of the time. In decks like these, where nothing has generic mana costs it will, at best, sit in your hand, and at worst, consume one of your land drops. You could try 1 in the 75 with the 4x Traverse the Ulvenwald, though. I can't see you ever wanting this G1
Playing a turn 2 kill deck, and a colourless mana in hand is pretty damning. The deck really just isn't made to have a backup.
this deck is nuts! just started digging through my bulk for ground rifts XD
Dude this is fucking sick, I love your style of videos. Good mix of gameplay + explaining your thought process. I'd love to see some more legacy/off-key moden lists! Maybe legacy rug delver w/ berserk?
Love the vids man keep it up
Play the pauper toxic deck! Thanks for the video
Maybe side board pact of negation as a combo protector that also counts for the storm count and cost no mana , idk just seems decent against control
Man, I miss SCG coverage. Patrick and Cedric were the shit, and it was the only way for me to really keep up with the game as I no longer have the time to play it. Such a bummer. Anyways, great vid as always
I miss the days of 2019 and before with all the coverage. its all gone now
I have been fooling around with a March of Burgeoning Life/Rot Priest build, not only do you get another copy of him, it targets so you get a trigger. The only problem is it needs a copy already on the board, but I have seen some success with it.
Inspiring statuary with karns and ugins harry!
This variant of storm does seem harder to counter when comboing off due to needing 2 removal pieces, but it does seem to take a hit from disruption
So, I'm no modern expert at all, I just played couple games on xMage few years ago to try out the top meta jund deck when wrenn and six released.
I wonder if you could make a more ordinary storm deck with the rot priest as an alternate win condition. The ground rift looks sweet and enables the turn 2 kill, but I wonder if it is just too gimmicky to be optimal, since it only works if you have the rotpriest on play and if the opponent has no interaction.
Also, you have some green cards, so you could play some force of vigor in the side board to help vs hammer time I guess
Get travel preparation added to the deck, as it will target both the rotpriest it will give your opponent 4 x poison counters, then you can flashback for another 4, 8 poison counters from 4 mana! Insane
😍😍😍 I haven’t played modern in years but I love this deck and want to play again thank you 🙏🏿
Not enough protection yet for this build but I like what you're thinking and I like where it's going
I feel like having one pact of Negation wouldn't be too bad to have in their either just in case
I saw a list running for March of burgeoning life. For one green and discarding a green card you can search for rot priest if it’s on the battlefield already. Plus it would add to storm count
I love this storm deck. I ll put my pte back on my deck xD
this set feels a bit like Eldraine level threat across multiple formats...
but we'll see how it goes from here...
How about savage summon\cavern of souls in the sideboard to cast priest through counters?
Even grapeshot works as a finish here, you can yarget rot priest with every trigger even if it would die the infect trigger still happens to close out the match
I LOVE STORM I LOVE STORM WOOOO CALEB IS BACK???
Such a cool video and well edited........for the one mechanic of the game i actually think hurts it, just my opinion on Infect, tho
You can play rotpriest in standard with just protection and draw spells and win pretty easy too.
I knew the SECOND I saw rotpriest that it would be abused in modern.
The deck that will make me mtgo no cap!
You should make a deck based on Vindictive Flamestoaker and Mercurial Spelldancer
Since you play dragon rage I would just add hearse and leyline of the void to the sideboard personally maybe vandle blast for ragavan and hammer decks
I've been running gather courage, single green for an instant that targets..... And it has convoke
I think this needs some sort of maindeck hexproof protection. Ideally something simple like vines of vastwood would do it, or if the deck seems to end up splashing blue for some odd free counters as protection
Tamiyos safekeeping Ive seen used in the standard version
@@Sa3vis vines is fun since it can mess with your opponents creatures in the mirror
@@jakx2ob + you can " counter " sigarda's aid ability.
So basically, if oppo go to kill in resp, the triggers go on anyway right?
Dude I really hope wizards listens to your videos. They need to act on modern in march imo
Is rotpriest triggering for each storm copy, and if yes then why since storm copies or copies in general aren't cast unless specifically stated like with hive mind or spark ral zarek.
Yes, and its because the card isn’t worded such that its the cast that counts, so much as it is being the target of a spell.
Copies, even though they aren’t cast, can still target if the spell specifies to do so. So rotpriest will see X copies of a spell targeting it, and give the opponent that many counters.
Cuz Rotpriest is worded like everyone who read Zada the first time thought she was worded. Alas, he does not care about cast only target, while she cares about both.
Nuts turn 2
I lost it when the player with the t3 kill got salty over the t2 kill. your humor is amazing harry, never change
I think Spellskite should be in the main. Activating it after targeting rotpriest with all of your spells is a new rotpriest trigger each time since rotpriest cares about it BECOMING the target which is why storm works in the first place. This, in my eyes, allows for more inevitability.
This list is so awesome
Cavern of souls
Did I understand it right? If a spell targets any creature you control while controlling Venerated Rotpriest even if the spell targeting the creature is countered or the Rotpriest leaves the field before the spell would resolve it still add the poison counter to my opponent?
Yes
@@swakton7185 good to know
Outro song?
Glad I got him to sign my rifts long ago at a 5k!
"Brotherhood's End" new card from Dominaria, might take care of those pesky artifacts/creatures
I don't think storm was ever "loved" by the community. People just remember older times fondly
In 2015/2016 back when I stormed off in person people would act like it was a rollercoaster ride. People who had finished their round would come over and watch me play my Jeskai Ascendancy treasure cruise storm. Nobody ever scooped because it was fun to watch someone play out storm.
I think it’s more so that storm in person can be cool to watch because this dude is literally casting a ton of spells, but on MTGO you just kind of sit there with no interaction (as in communication with opponent/spectators).
I liked Storm, but I'm glad it was never a good deck. If every match was storm,that would suck.
@@Xandian
I’ve had the opposite experience.
I’ve had more games than I can count on one hand where I’ll start to combo off with gifts ungiven storm, and the opponent scoops the match in a huff. God forbid you take a little longer on your lines too because your opponent has played in such a way to force you to combo off at an inopportune time.
I would take Storm over Ragavan 100/100 times
@@tristanobrien2823 I mentioned it in another comment but I think it also
has a bit to do with Gifts Storm. Storm used to be much more fringe, interesting, and varied (blistercoil weird, pyromancers ascension, jeskai treasure cruse[which became glittering wish storm]). It was also viewed as the “if he’s doing math on turn 2 you already lost” deck so a lot of hype was around it.
Gifts trivialized all of that. Get mana reducer out, hope he lives, gifts with 3 mana floating and you win. Gifts ungiven makes the deck 100% more consistent than any other version of storm. It still does, but there’s just so much hate that you never get to go off nowadays before you die.
A lot of the older storm decks you can just brick out if you didn’t have kill in hand already. Gifts storm you just need gifts and enough mana and you win.
Could one make a twiddlestorm variant of this i wonder
How long before rotpriest gets the hammer?
i am curious on how long rotpriest will last. I have a strong feeling that this deck will get hit hard.
Apostles Blessing would be banger in this deck! Change my mind
bruh!
How consistent is this deck?
Is this deck strong or not? I want to try and get into modern and this seems like a fun deck so is it worth it?
That is a difficult question to answer. The deck is extremely new, and the archetype is, therefore, unexplored. While the deck definitely has the potential to be explosive and win games out of nowhere, the configuration as shown above folds to many types of hate, which the deck might either change to be able to work around those hate pieces or it might turn out that the deck is not that strong.
I would probably wait a week or two and see what happens to the list before ordering it :)
(If you want to play on mtgo using a rental service, my advice is instead to go nuts and see if you like the deck)
Edit: One extremely good part of this deck is that even if it turns out that this deck is not that strong, you will own almost all the pieces to build izzet prowess, ensuring that there is an easy path to a proven tier 2 deck
Its pretty meh, as is.
There’s potential, but it really needs a few more revisions at least.
No. It can get hated out very easily and has no chance at tournaments if expected.
Tragic ending for such an incredible list, makes sense why it would struggle in this metagame right now though...
Niceeeee
I was 3-0 at FNM and my opponent and I in the final round asked me if I wanted to draw out, I said sure, usually how the last round ends.
He was playing this deck and we played for fun. I was playing UW Affinity, I have to say that the deck felt ban worthy I played him in 4 full games and won 1 round
I hope this deck gets big enough that whirlwind denial becomes a meta sideboard pick.
I can't see that. But it'd be cool tech lol. I think people would rather pack removal or more generic hate cards, like leyline of sanctity
@@leftysheppey or you know flusterstorm?
@@kamikirbits7708 why would that help?
@@leftysheppey it was made to counter storm cards? But I see the problem, this deck doesn't care if they resolve but instead cares about the trigger. Seeing whirlwind made me think of countering spells so I forgot what the deck was about
This will change the game
Venerated Rotpriest is absolutely cursed
bruh why was rotpriest not a legendary... it just makes no sense that you can play multiple
"Cringe" lmao
I literally got cancer watching this deck. SS Tier content my guy
And I thought my turn 3 hammer double strike wins were fast
That was hilarious when first opp hit you for 10 on turn two and then you hit them for 10 back and they said cringe :D
Your 10 was just better than theirs.
I think this deck gets worse once people realize how storm triggers work and you can actually kill the priest before the copies can target him.
When casting or copying a spell, you have to target the creature first with all the copies, so when you cast grapeshot or the ground rift the storm is already on the stack, and the targets are already all selected, so the triggers of the rotpriest happen regardlesa
@@VoidGivenForm no. Storm is a triggered ability that actually goes on the stack and to which you can obviously respond. the copies only go on the stack when the troggered ability resolves.
Cool
Seems like it breaks the t4 rule huh
I think this deck should be called Acid Rain.
I knew rotpriest pops
Looks like leyline is coming back lol
I think a list with rituals is better
Green march doubles your rotpreist
This is just my gruul cantrip deck with rotpriest. Lol
Wow, it's like the old Storm deck but everything costs less to cast. I could definitely see a future where the Rotpriest is banned. Great video!
I can't
no way haha
I know one piece of tuning I would do to make this deck better: I would ban Teferi Time Raveler
You could also turn this deck into a wither and zero counter combo that basically makes your creatures immune to any damage that you might cause your creature so that they would survive no matter how much damage they may take and you wouldn't need to worry about adding any more colors because the enchantment that you use to make all damage into wither is hybrid red/black and the other cards are green that prevent the placement of-1/-1 counters so you would have the ability to play other cards that also have storm and cause much more damage without risking your creatures.
wow
it's green and red, just liken that patrick chaplin ignite memories deck.
Ban sigarda Aids Is the only solution. Sturm Will never be tier but very funny . Btw i am glad Caleb is back.
Toxic in standard was a mistake
Ah yes, Moder… I mean, Legacy Lite
The hammer time player calling you cringe is delicious irony
So like that's turn 3.
Please Harry try to play UW control with minor misstep
yugioh players wondering what's crazy about killing turn 2
Don’t forget you can just hold priority instead of waiting for them to respond
Man I knew this was going to happen... This card is pretty pushed.
Gruul Storm is just one of the variant being tested atm by people. Know a few people testing out tons of decks that are RGx. I have been brewing a Temur deck with Glistner elf and priest. I run a lot of green instants that give hexproof in my Temur brew.
Yeaahhh I think if any card it’s banworthy it’s that
Turn 2 kill... Other decks are too quick! lol this game sometimes.
