I don't know if someone has already said it but in game one Thoralf had the win if he played the rack after having Carl discard a card. I know it's not a big deal and we all miss play, heck maybe I'm not seeing it all but as far as I can tell the third Rack would have made the life total difference, carl would have lost during his upkeep. All the love and keep playing magic!
Game 2 Jamin could've copied Thoralf's Rack with the metamorph

I feel like resetting The One Ring was still the correct okay, since Jamin would have lost to his own card before the Rack got Thoralf.

@CostabiIe
Ай бұрын
The chalice is the tron deck is generally there to be played for 0. It locks out a bunch of your own cards if you play it on 1, so more of a double edged sword.
@uriarte411
Ай бұрын
Gotta remember, it counters both. So when playing Tron if you chalice on 1 you stop a lot of his stuff, but now you also lose access to like 12 cards in your deck. So it'd be fine to do later once you have all the mana you need, but early it could cost you the game.

I've had a control player draw in response to their Ring trigger. They drew a Tishana which blanked the ring trigger, it was their only out ! then I untapped and bolted them thrice

The fact Thoralf almost won against Domain Zoo as well makes me think that this deck could do very well if modernized. That said Jamin did misplay and didn't copy the rack with the metamorph, but still.

I agree although, I think sideboarding heavily favors most other decks. When your main win conditions are artifacts or enchantments, cards like pick your poison or annul can be brutal

I know a few people pointed out the Metamorph copying The Rack, but after that did Jamin also have enough mana to Sylvan Scrying for the 2nd Boseiju, destroy Mutavault, and reset the board with the Oblivion Stone? Turn after unearth the Cityscape Leveler for the win
Carl's top decks so nutty he topped deck off his opponent
"At this point I would like to thank my mom" lol, I love you Thoralf ;D
i personally think an updated list of 8-rack with cards like grief, orcish bowmaster and such (personally like Vicious Rumors for HP swing, and discard for 1 mana) would be pretty good and would have a way better chance! But even with that kinda "outdated" list it's pretty good and better then expected

The only downside is that it gets destroyed by side boarding. A lot of these lists have the necessary artifact hate to stop bridge and rack in the side.

Thanks cardmarket for picking on Murktide even after the format warped away from it
15:33 Not copying The Rack for the win is funny to me here. I would also miss this line.
Fantastic video would love to see more like it
That Jamin game was a nail biter. Well played gentlemen.
SaffronOlive had a really interesting version of the 8rack deck that I would've loved to see you take inspiration from. It was essentially mono-black scam with the rack and shreiking affliction.
Does anyone think the new tinybones could be played in this deck?
Hey, glad to see more gameplay videos! The top videos are fun, but i felt like they were a bit too close to each other. Keep up the good work!
Loved the video, the smash styled challengers are very good (who made them?). Side note I love the bridge though I ve never got my hands on it. The rack also reminds me my favorite Legacy deck Pox. Man that was so much fun, shame I couldnt afford the blackwhite version though.
I never had any doubts.
i love all of carl's super over the top costume =]
Couldn't jamin unearth the cityscape leveler and attack?
That was a fun one!
I still can't believe Leyline of the Guildpact is a real card.
Let’s go pox! Think Jamin could’ve won if he copied the rack instead of the ring
Loved the deck, crazy to build it as my first modern deck, but i dont know if i shoud wait for MH3
8rack got me into 60 card and modern after a year of only commander.
You guys totally have to do a Canadian Highlander game sesh! Please!

Can the rack target jamin despite having protection from everything because it doesn't actually say 'target' but instead 'choose a player'?
I did not know that Ensnaring Bridge and Smallpox were in Modern. Those are some classic and painful cards!

Because one ring is not a cast effect, it is an ETB effect with the conditional "if you cast it"

:D i still remember when i first got a 7th Edition 2 player starter deck and some boosters and ... i liked Black and the idea of discard. When i really started to play YGO i also played discard (like HEAVY discard).... when i started to play Final Fantasy TCG i ...played discard. Now i play Lorcana ...and i play discard and my random Magic decks (paper) are...discard xD
Super lucky Ragavan pull on that first game.
Game 1 Toralf didn't lose to Carl's deck, he lost to Ragavan.
Wasn’t there a cityscape leveler on jamin’s yard in game 2 that he could’ve unearthed for lethal?
18:12 Updog!
8 Rack is my William Montgomery deck, because I ain’t eva gonna stop playing 8 rack.
Jamin misplays 1. Discarding the Karn instead of The One Ring. upticking Karn on the pithing needle would've killed Thoralf 2. Like everyone says, Metamorph on The Rack would've killed Thoralf 3. Missed lethal on the last turn by unearthing Cityscape Leveler
The top decks in these are brutal.
14:16 the rack targets on etb, not on upkeep, right?
Everytime I see this video in my timeline the thumbnail changes. Not sure which I liked best though.
Thoralf's deck needs some Candy Trails
why did jamin not use cityscape levelers graveyard ability to win?
3 really good matches
Did Jamin shuffle his entire sidebord into his Tron deck?
Thank you for this. I’m a mono black player only. Have a necro tattoo on my hand. And it’s refreshing to see it highlighted. ❤
Can you try pauper commander, i think it could be interesting
It's funny how 8-Rack could be a strong Decklist in an artisan version of modern. Decklist 1 Dakmor Salvage 3 Davriel, Rogue Shadowmage 2 Fatal Push 4 Forsaken Miner 2 Geth's Verdict 3 Hopeless Nightmare 4 Inquisition of Kozilek 2 Long Goodbye 4 Mishra's Factory 4 Raven's Crime 4 Shrieking Affliction 4 Smallpox 16 Swamp 4 The Rack 3 Wrench Mind SIDEBOARD: 2 Break the Ice 1 Darkblast 2 Duress 1 Glistening Deluge 2 Malicious Eclipse 2 Mind Rake 3 Relic of Progenitus 1 Sudden Edict 1 Worm Harvest Other cards to consider, Cling to Dust and Whispers of Emrakul. Cling does give you life and card draw in a pinch. Whispers has a mini Hymn to Tourach and a Hymn if you got delirium.
Can you companion jegantha with leyline in the deck? I thought you couldn't cause of the hybrid green but maybe it doesn't count cause it's all different hybrid
