As another bit of history, Troll Ascetic being the most notable card with Hexproof before it was keyworded gave the nickname "Troll Shroud" for the ability.

I would've loved to see the pauper boggles deck mentioned.

it never clicked that leyline of sanctity stops edict effects. All I noticed while looking at bogles sideboards was that the leyline screwed up settle the wreckage.

Spot removal shouldn't be the answer to everything -Boggles players

I love this series. Burned thru most of the videos going down memory lane the last two days. I finally decided to get into MTGO and took inspiration from Sram Auras for a Pioneer deck. W/ a few tweaks, it's still a stellar, stellar deck. Keep up the great work, man!

Commander players call this voltron though that tends to include equipment as well. A popular commander that does this is Zur, the enchanter as he looks for auras when he attacks.

Notably Voltron doesn't always start with a creature that is always evasive or hard to interact with-- many Voltron commanders instead focus on advantage from the auras/equipment.

I would wager Nizzahon isn't too keen on ever playing a bogles deck. XD

Thopter sword could be a cool video another classic that has held on

The first net deck I built. Horizon Canopy really makes a difference when things aren't going well.

2 other big sideboard changes in Modern Bogles has been the addition on 4× Force of Vigor for all the artifacts. Then 2× Suppression Field for all the Planeswalkers and abilities.

@@worgenzwithm14z It kinda is though. 1-mana hard removal is also toxic. MTG is honestly just a very toxic game, at least in anything but the lowest power formats. I think that's probably what most people enjoy about the game, but it is what it is. There's even an entire slice of the color pie devoted to shutting down your opponent so you can play solitaire in peace! The interesting part is seeing which flavor of toxicity can trump the others and how it does it.

Can we PLEASE get a History of Merfolk Decks?

I want to point out that Reid Duke's list was made by William Ljungberg, which can be considered the father of Modern Bogles.

another great installment in the series! i have a minor suggestion to make, since i usually forget what format is being discussed when you're in the middle of talking about it. maybe you could put a small caption in the corner that says "format - legacy" in future videos? 😊

That Geist deck when it was in standard made my life miserable. It was difficult to play any archetype other than either itself or a heavily controlling deck with sweepers and counters. I was so happy when it rotated.

My favorite combo of all-time is Steel of the Godhead with Geist of Saint Traft.

Really interesting how every single version of this deck is built around mitigating and/or preventing the 2-for-1 risk.

Player histories could be fun.

"You built a deck entierly around creatures the other participants of the game can't participate with?" -MTGRemmy

Imagine that you are so good at using a certain keyword that WOtC names the entire keyword after you.

FYI, at 4:35, "Fencing Ace" is misspelled "Fencing Age." Also, another thing that's worth mentioning about Spirit Link is that it can function as a form of pseudo-removal in a pinch: since the effect specifically says _"you_ gain that much life," you can enchant an opponent's creature with it to undo any damage it would deal to you. Finally, it would have been nice if you could have at least given a shout-out to Pauper, where Bogles is a viable archetype.

Fuck yeah Bogles

It’s time! It’s time! It’s deck history time!

This is probably an unpopular opinion, but I've always thought of hexproof as a very lazy mechanic. I still stand of the opinion that WotC should have kept Shroud as widespread evergreen mechanic over Hexproof.

This is why I love the new Ward mechanic, and I hope it eventually replaces Hexproof. I like the idea of targeting protection on a creature, but adding some counterplay built into the mechanic is really good design. It's one of the reasons I love Sedgemoor Witch so much.

@brandonsheumaker2673

I always thought that the shroud ability was too restrictive, but you're right that hexproof is too lazy and IMO stupidly one-sided. My solution would be to replace hexproof with the ability on Autumn Willow: it has shroud, but by paying one mana its controller can target it until the end of turn. That makes the first Aura cast each turn cost one more.

9:16 Maybe WotC purposely chose the name 'ward' for the balanced version of Hexproof... longtime successful MTG pros have been eternalized in cards before

it's not prounced "Bog -goes" it's "Bwagwaggga!"

I love Boggles as an archetype. It's a flagrant fu to the conventional logic of the game and goes so far to make loading auras up on a creature good, which is one of the classic play patterns new players are attracted to. When Boggles or dedicated Lifegain are playable decks, that's fantastic for the game. They're great to onboard new players into competitive play, and it leaves to transition into more complex, consistently good strategies. Nothing can kill excitement for the game faster than jumping straight into heavy control or grindy midrange. Sometimes it's good to keep it simple

@@NizzahonMagic Alright, you're right. Not from a strictly phonetic standpoint, there are plenty of words that contain "ogle" without the long o sound. However, when looking up the term "Bogle" it comes from an old English word for Hobgobblin, Phantom, or "Bogey". Now I've found websites who's audio examples are both the ways we pronounce it, but because it's origins lie in the term bogey, I will admit I'm wrong.
