Veteran Explorer was the first card in my mind when Flare of Cultivation was revealed. Excited to see how it performs, hopefully the combo comes together.
Same, kind of wanted to see a golgari version though. maybe with 4 young wolf, some amount of yawgmoth thran physician, and up the count of flare of cultivation to 4
@@namingtaiahassr3240 I never said anything was wrong. And Andrea played a yawgmoth nic fit list a while back and did well with it. It’s probably good with flare now
Watching that scape shift match after seeing it on Brian's end was gut wrenching. You already know what's going to happen, so you end up screaming at the screen like it's a horror film, but instead of telling them not to split up or go into the cellar it's "No Phil! Don't sac that land! You've forgotten to check your graveyard!" Great games anyway. Excited to see how everything will change once MH3 really gets out into the wild and we have a few weeks of chaos as everything goes.
Karn could have also broken up the energy flux lock. Wish for coating pass coating the flux and then animate it with karn so it can get pinged by baltista. Idk if you had enough time, but all is dust was not your only out.
Chuckled when you put added a vexing bauble in the 2nd game when sideboarding the colorless eldrazi tron eedeck, only to take out the other going back down to one lol
Karn could wish for a win over two turns at the end of game 3 of the Tron match when you timed out. Take Mycosynth to make all cards artifacts, then Emrakul is an artifact so Karn can wish for that to deal with Energy Field through Annihilator. Mycosynth failing to win the game, but making the actual win an artifact for Karn to grab is one of my favorite interactions, doesn't come up much : )
Mycosynth Lattice only turns permanents into artifacts, meaning only cards on the battlefield. Check the Gatherer rulings. It wouldn't change what Karn can grab.
@@HamburgerTime_ Thanks for the correction. I guess the interaction I was remembering was with Encroaching Mycosynth. That card is so much worse though, I don't remember why it was in the deck.
I feel like every urza's saga deck should be playing boots and shadowspear It makes your saga games so much more likely to win, it feels better than an extra silver bullet
Loved watching the first game from both sides... What about ivory tower as a karn wish instead of trinisphere? Would that decision have made sense in that context??
47:40 I am very confused as to how you lost this game? You have 5 mountains in library still (Badlands, Taiga, 3x Mountain), and 7 tutor targets. Find 2 Valakut plus all 5 mountains and that's 30 damage. Instead, you searched for a dryad arbor instead?
@@ThrabenUniversity yes? If you control 5 or more mountains you do the thing. You would control 5 or more mountains when you search up the 5 mountains, no?
Planar nexus is all non basic land types. Boseiju has you get a land with a basic type. Not sure if I’m missing something or I’m not understanding your comment
Could you consider going back to the mtgo layouts for deck lists. I’m a visual thinker and it’s really hard to interpret the tiny 4’s in the corner as percentages of a deck. - keep up the good work! Love the videos!
In game 3 of the tron list, it seems like a better way to avoid timing out would've been to scry 9 and draw a card instead of making 9 scions
8:54 after that second bow master I thought Bosh was gonna have all 4 in his hand and chump ping you to death 😂
I have reported your Nic Fit opponent to the authorities after two (2) forces on t1 Explorer. I hope they enjoy fun jail.

I think it’s funny that flare turned vet into a must counter spell like goblin lackey 😂

41:02 You boarded out Primeval Titan but you still should have grabbed Titania over Dryad, you had a Valakut in the graveyard.
So painful watching him lose after that
49:59 in the last deck i think the fixed recurring nightmare would be pretty interesting

Game 1 you ABSOLUTELY should have moved the boots to a spawn token to have 3 attackers each turn since each construct was already lethal
47:50 hurt my soul

Thanks for your hard work, Nic Fit with Flare seems really sweet.
why didn't you scry 9 and draw 1 with the kozilek's command instead of putting tokens on the field?
50:54 Phil is planning on scratching the rest of the iceberg next week.
(Sorry, I just found the mixed metaphor really funny.)
Woo loved this short like montage of these decks. Can’t wait for more!

Have you tried Glaring Fleshraker? In arena it has done wonders to burn out my opponents
25:20 equip Lavaspur boots on a scion and swing for game after the Koz command? Edit: forgot about the energy field! Crazy game, love the deck!
Just don’t cast anything to avoid time out after casting command.
Let your opponent deck themselves.
They don't deck themselves becaude of Necrodominance skipping the draw step, so you still need to find All is Dust to destroy the Energy Field.
@@Gullffoss you are 1000% correct I completely forgot THE literal first line of the damn card Lmao. Gonna down vote myself lol
How about ignoble heirarch for the nice fit valakut?

Damn, hate to see it when you’re testing against Brian “If I see fun, I pull out my gun” Coval. (Jk you guys are both great)
Isn't tron the same as X-post, but worse?
Why didn't engery feild get sacrificed when any card went to Brian's graveyard?
Necrodominance!
@@ThrabenUniversity thanks I totally missed the last line of text 😆 🤣 😂
Brian is Veteran Fun Police
Yayyyyyyyy!!
Just wanted to let you know there’s a typo in the title
More like Brian "Fun is Illegal" Coval. RIP turn one Veteran

I look forward to someone using Boseju to clear a planar nexus, and you just searching out another one with the effect.

You can't cast Sigarda turn 2 if she isn't in you deck. Disappointed, day ruined
