Your trophies with the best decks in Legacy (ie. with Delver or this) always feel so clinical. The end analysis of "Yep, Oko/Expressive Iteration/Grief destroyed people like it has been doing for the last six months" is always so funny to me.

As an old fan of Psychatog (another villain creature from days of yore) I'm delighted to see this FIRE'd up frog iteration smash games. To think that once upon a time we were happy to let our +1/+1 buffs only last until EOT. ❤

Back then we were allowed 4 Gush though, that helps, I remember Ponder and BS getting restricted in vintage affecting my 'casual' Psychatog deck.

Seeing your moxfield sponsor segment with the shark staff list that got me into legacy will always have a place in ny heart

A few months ago, psychic frog was in the first 5 card official spoiler by WOTC, the next night i remember specifically that i asked Phil of thraben u if the frog looked playable in legacy or just modern because it looked amazing to me, and he said it didnt look playable in either because legacy and modern were both just too powerful of formats. To this day its the only spoiler i have ever been right about, and im so glad because dimir is my favorite guild.

I waited so long to see you playing this deck. Thank you very much.

This is the deck I was waiting for!

This video is a clinic on "if you want to win in current legacy, do this." Well done. Well played. You had so many lines so many times, I had to rewatch several portions to understand why you did things 2-3 turns before. Top tier content.

The frog feels like the same type of upgrade for this deck that questing Druid was for delver. Plugs the holes that people are trying to fight your deck over.

@jonathankelley6035

I disagree. Frog is far superior then Questing Druid is in Delver.

I just love the change in dialogue as the deck got figured out and more popular. Like 4 months ago on the eternal glory podcast is was “it’s so cool and new, there’s a plan to sideboard into just scam and if they don’t know they bring in useless graveyard hate”. And then slowly but surely it became obvious that it was just too good

Liked, subscribed and commenting on this fantastic content.

That's a big feels bad at the end there. Definitely showing how MTGO is not a perfect cause there is no way to go back.

I'm in the grief doesnt need to be banned camp. I think even it it gets banned, a UB deck still exists. The card quality is so high in those colors right now

51:02 I believe if they start to combo and mill completely; you have to react with hearse to them casting dread return and then they cast journey, put the oracle on top and proceed to draw it. They still have to resolve it but it gives them a glimmer of hope lol. 😂

psychic frog is just too sweet

Feeling froggy, keeping em dazed and confused

Let’s put frog at 4, at least side the fourth. Beat everything, little downside because it’s the best pitch.

At 23:30 it's the move to waste their waste in upkeep. If that's a trade they want they can make it happen anyways, so if you don't trade wastelands it means either that's good for them or they are foolish, and then they also get to make that decision with more info once their draw step happens Or at least, not doing it seems to me like it basically has to involve hoping the opponent misplays

We have this conversation almost every time. I am beyond happy with Brian being able to content-create, educate & entertain full time, and if this is the sacrifice to the algorithm, I am all for the spoiler.

So when it comes to what is acceptable or should be banned. I’m not gonna be upset if grief gets banned but why is grief the problem card and not reanimate? Seems to me that grief is very good but not crazy without reanimate but reanimate enables a lot of things. Edit: The format identity thing makes sense. It's not something I was thinking about as I don't actually play magic, (I used to with friends ~20+ years ago) I just occasionally watch videos.

@OmneAurumNon

It's pretty nuts in modern without reanimate. Besides, reanimate is a classic card that's been defining legacy for decades. It'd be pretty weird to ban an alpha card that has been powerful but basically balanced in legacy for decades just to make room for an MH card that causes problems in nearly every format it's legal in

@gius8068

I agree with you that Reanimate is the most problematic card of the two in a vacuum, but when people play Legacy they expect to play with Reanimate, Brainstom, Wasteland etc. So banning reanimate would be the correct choice from a balance perspective but the wrong choice in terms of what makes Legacy a unique format with its own identity. If Reanimate, Wasteland or Brainstorm were MH cards people would be rightfully calling for bans! But the reason why people like Legacy is how these cards warp the format and produce unique play patterns that you don’t find in other formats, so they get to stay.

Daze needs ban not grief
