Sphinx of the Second Sun is working as intended. Its trigger occurs at the beginning of your post-combat main phase, and that trigger creates a beginning phase AFTER "this phase" (being your post-combat main phase). The way it works, and is intended to work, is that you get an untap, upkeep, and draw directly before your end phase. It would need to be an "end of combat" trigger in order to make that beginning phase happen before your second main phase.

39:33 if you use Rite of Replication to make five copies of Scourge of Valkus you will end up dealing 180 damage! 😁 All five of the copies plus the original will all see five dragons entering the battlefield, so they will each trigger five times, that's 30 triggers dealing six damage each!

I'm with Richard, i like the new borders much better

I think at this point Richard is so focused in that weird and inefficient Ognis combo that he legit forgot that you can just build this deck as a grand warlord radha deck that has black. Ognis works best at an aggro deck than whichever jank he was trying to pull, tbh.

On the discussion of old vs new border; I've been playing for over 20 years, but I actually hate the old border. And not just "the old border on new cards" like Richard. I actively think that the old borders LOOK BAD and date the cards/game. The new border is infinitely better. I frequently feel like I'm the only person who holds this view, though. Every show, podcast, and forum related to MTG that I've ever seen is full of people waxing nostalgic about the old border, where I couldn't be happier that it's gone.

I kind of agree. I can still lean toward Richard's view, but new borders are just cleaner. I can actually read the words from a distance instead of the horrible font on older stuff against a more chaotic background. I guess these people just like more of the frame art?

In response to the old border conversation. I'm a newer player and I like most of the old border card frames, bit I think mono red and gold cards look butt ugly in old border.

Phil's hot take on the OG shock lands blew me away. Rob Alexander's art on those cards is iconic and some of the most beautiful art in Magic.

Sphinx of the Second Sun used to be bugged when combined with Paradox Haze. When it cam out I played them in shrines and Sphinx triggered properly, after my 2nd main, it gave me a beginning phase but because the upkeep occurred twice, for some reason the game thought it was the actual beginning of the turn and went to my first main phase, allowing me to cast spells normally. Then the turn ended when I moved to combat. I tried it later when Go-Shintai came out and it seems to be fixed. Richard: have you thought about Urborg + Filth to make your creatures unblockable so Ognis can attack?

I'm with Richard, new borders are better over all.

Yeah he actively said this season he wasn't playing budget and was playing good cards and to win. That's why he took a year off because he was always targeted and killed first even if he is killed for good reason lol.

Very fun match ups, but here is the issue besides the odd combos or lack of taking place. a shrine deck w/o attack taxing/worship shroud effect is odd basically, its saves along with their abilities to help you live unless someone mass removes the enchantments. One tick with me is all the weird stuff people do with Ur-dragon, look I get but best design are usually always dragon related you can change combos. I prefer scion of ur-dragon though tbh, alot of other stuff you can do. My shrine deck I play mana dorks then have ways excel it as well go off with jeskai ascendancy if I have to.It can go off combined with semi-protection you never lose easily and always have the out.

Congrats guys the game didn’t go over 3 hrs!!

Yeah, they'll do ANOTHER drop based on the Wedges, each with 3 Shockland that has old border, and FUCK IT, also have the T tap because yes. I like having some beaten up cards depending on what the card is, heavy play is a sign that the card has been used, not just sit in a binder, those played cards are veterans! My Sisay Shrines deck is a mixed bag when it comes to speed, it can win turn 4 sometimes, but also can get stuck and take forever to win, and since the deck had no space for interaction due to 11 (mostly bad) Shrines, the deck did manage to find space for a few ways to actually win. I was amused when I realized Zur can find both Sanctum Weaver and an untapping Enchantment, at which point you have infinite mana in a Sisay deck, and if you can't win that turn you're doing something wrong. AFAIK the issue is rushing Zur out, and everyone else figuring out 'just kill Zur?', at which point you're just digging out Shrines and the deck feels bad. Also, dealing damage via Shrines can be a hassle, the Sanctum of Shattered Heights can't target players, just creatures and planeswalkers. I feel like Sisay speeds the deck up a lot, but also makes you more of an archenemy. In Sisay you can (and probably should) run those clunky Group Hug ramp spells, so in my case I've got lots of basics, I guess Go-Shintai would just ramp and fix a bt and be satisfied, there isn't much point in helping everyone else to generate extra resources to get to WWUUBBRRGG or WWWUUUBBBRRRGGG, which Sisay is eager to hit (and wins super-quickly then). Cool non-Dragon Token deck Tomer! I'm pretty sure Homarids are lobster people that wiped out the Merfolk empire in Fallen Empires, they were probably the jankiest tribe ever printed, where you'd have to play out overcosted Homarids, wait until the ideal time and make Camarids with the enchantment to avoid suffering from low power, 3 Camarids wasn't bad. I think there is actually a Blue Anthem from back then, possibly more than one, that could buff your Camarids more than a single Homarid. You could also use Unstable Mutation with a well timed Homarid to get in some serious swings before sacrificing it right before it'd die anyways. It also would have worked as a combat trick back then, damage used the stack actually. As far as low-budget old school goes, mono-Blue Homarids aren't as bad as they sound.

Oh Phil I love you walking sponge and the obscure tribes from scourge block are some of my favorite creatures of all time.
