The funny thing is, at the very first modern pro tour, everyone knew this was the deck to beat and prepared for it. There was only one BreachPost that made top8. But Wizards banned it anyway because it was pretty clear to anyone this deck is busted. Especially it made any form of control totally unplayable, the whole meta was combo decks and some aggro.

Andrea's topdecking was hilarious. What a fun match to watch

That 12-post deck is crazy! I thought forsure Oko/Urza would make it through. But casting the Emrakul makes 12-post one of my favourite decks now!

@@malte54 In terms of power level, 12 Post is definitely up there with the very best. Emrakul is genuinely unbeatable. The only issue with the deck is consistency, which is why it's not played more. Other combos like Breakfast and Doomsday are easier and faster, but they can fold to enough interaction. 12 Post will always win games that go long.

I trust in the 12 Post. Broken mana is always extremely powerful, no matter how slow the format.

@pretends2know

Cloudpost preys on slow formats. To beat it, you need either a lot of land destruction or kill them faster than they can stabilize.

12-post was so underrated in the poll. Many mtg players never experienced it since it was more than a decade ago. "Fast mana / Big mana is ALWAYS broken"

This matchup in particular feels skewed towards 12 Post because Urza-Oko has trouble putting on early pressure.

7:46 attack should be a lot more damage because lattice makes everything artifact which in turn buffs the token.

Watching LSV recently play Post in Legacy proved to me hiw crazy 12-Post is. What a brutal series! Great games in a great series!

I figured 12 post was gonna win, but honestly this match up also highlighted just how powerful and oppressive Urza Oko also was. Karn being able to grab sideboard cards like dampening sphere game 1 was insane

I just found this channel in the last week and I have to say, you guys are the most pleasant and wonderful play group I’ve ever watched play! The dynamic, the pure passion for Magic and just enjoying the game. The excitement even when an opponent is doing something cool to win. I will always be fan!

Excellent content! Really love it. Can't wait for the next!

I love watching all these decks in action! Fantastic content guys

Always good to see Mengu! And what a showdown this one was, I was surprised how explosive 12 post is!!

Great game (I love this series) and as always, amazing production quality!

What an amazing match-up! Two explosive decks, filled to the brim with banned cards, and both sides had their fair share of "heart of the cards" moments when they drew just the thing that would keep them in the game. Absolutely phenomenal content and I cannot wait to see what happens in the finals.

Favorite Megu moment lmaoo 19:49

A legitimately fantastic match, that last series of top decks and subtle interactions was beautiful

The editing in these are so crazy good. It makes it such an enjoyable watching experience to see whats happening and i hope official mtg channels use these videos as a standard for future videos.

This series just delivers - fantastic setup and players ❤

That last game was suprisingly very exciting and fun to watch until the end! Good job CM Team and Andrea :3

Called it. 12 Post just plays magic on a different scale. At the end of the day, the Urza Oko deck was a fair deck, that didn't really "break" the game. Cloudpost fundamentally breaks the usual 1 mana per land rule, and you cast the most powerful creatures in all of magic, held together with GSZ and Eye of Ugin.

Great content as always guys!

Love this series can't wait for the next video

Yeah I had a feeling that the Oko voters either don’t know Legacy or don’t remember the beginning of Modern and the work required to keep those decks under control. It’s like Tron but better, yet it’s true successor is Titan Bloom, and the fact that Amulet Titan is the 3rd gen iteration of that deck/combo and it’s still a high performing deck in modern is crazy.

Great video, can't wait for the next episode.

best series you made keep up the good work!

Loved it! great content.

Go 12 post!! I play Legacy 12 Post and it's great to see the deck sleeved-up for Modern for one more go

12-post is so awesome. And we didn't even see how it beats aggressive decks, "Play glimmerpost as my land. Outgain your last two burn spells" Really hoping to see it in the final, though both Hogaak and Rakdos Scam seems like difficult match-ups

I'm honestly shook, im surprised by the result. I haven't been playing modern but since after the banning of the locus lands, so its neat to see them on display here

It has been cut out but he then said it was maybe a missplay and that I should have just gotten ulamog instead (I was not playing around the god-draw of thoughtseize into trophy).

I am so glad I voted for 12post. I was certain it can plop down an Emrakul before Oko does it's thing. Such a ruthless deck and an epitome of old Modern.

I was so sure that Oko/Urza would win because both of those cards are batshit crazy, but this just proves that not even the High Lord Artificer himself, when joined by the ban-hammer, can actually beat hard cast Emrakul. Great games.

One of the craziest paper Moderm matches ive ever seen lol. Feels like I'm watching a Legacy matchup, and even there not all the cards are legal!

Amazing content

12 post is basically tron but twice as good, maybe more. It was one of my first decks in pauper and it's one of those decks you need to play to see how broken it is. Glimmerpost actually does so much, that 1 turn where you gain 3-5 life is equal to an extra turn to do more broken stuff.

I'm glad I'm new that i didn't experience 12 Post irl. That is one of the most terrifying thing to see on the other side of the table. "I'll ramp, then ramp, then ramp, emrakul. resolve?"
