    In game 1 last turn, wouldn't it have been better not to therapy pre combat in order to play around foil? I mean, if he foils and the dryad becomes a 6/6, opponent might stabilize at 1 life. Didn't matter now, but it got me thinking.

    That matchup is pretty solid, but I've seen a recent increase in its popularity, so I'd certainly consider putting Tsabo's Web in the sideboard for my next tournament. I've also been having some trouble with mono blue control, and Tsabo's Web is great there as well.

    Did you miss an attack with the gibbons the turn they became creatures? They shouldn’t have been summoning sick because you had controlled them as enchantments for more than one turn before.

    Yes, that was a sloppy misplay, probably because I'm not in the habit of playing Hidden Gibbons. Thanks for pointing that out - I'll be much less likely to repeat it now.

    Heyo! I was your opp - neat seeing from your perspective! The g2 scoop definitely looked premature from this perspective but my gameplan vs rock is typically green mana denial instead of the board/card advantage, your manabase was really strong that game so I wasn't going to pull it off.

    Thanks for the insight - always fun to play against you. My current list is down to just 10 main deck green spells from the 14 I had in this match, as the splash mana really has proven to be a weak point.

    I don't know a lot about Premodern history. Did people have Squee in their Survival decks before Cyberpunker or did all green decks become survival decks after Cyberpunker perfected Madness? I remember playing premodern tournaments prior to 2018 where Rock and Elves didn't run Survival.

  • @PremodernPhil
    @PremodernPhilАй бұрын

    Squee has always been a staple in Survival decks, but what sets Survival Madness apart is that it's the only variant I know that runs multiples, aside from the occasional rogue Zombie Infestation / Survival deck. I actually started playing Premodern about a year ago, so I don't have first-hand knowledge about the early days of the format, but most current Rock decks do not run Survival while most current Elf decks do, though some actually run Food Chain instead. Anyway, on the topic of all green decks being Survival decks, that isn't really the case, though it is true that the best green cards are generally enchantments. There's Survival itself, but also Oath of Druids, Sylvan Library, and Pernicious Deed. All of these can serve as the strategic foundation of a deck, influencing all other downstream card choices during the deckbuilding process.

  • @PremodernPhil
    @PremodernPhil4 ай бұрын

    Glad you liked the video. In regard to that Therapy decision, leaving the Arenas in the opponent's hand would have left me vulnerable if the opponent got a discard spell before casting both Arenas, and the opponent keeping Arena around for a few turns would probably win them the game. That was the main rationale - I also had very little time to mull it over, and Decree was far from useful at that point.

  • @PremodernPhil
    @PremodernPhil5 ай бұрын

    Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed watching. I think the white splash is definitely the way to go right now. Ray of Revelation is really powerful, and it costs very little to make the splash happen. Plus, with 8 fetch lands, Sylvan Library becomes much better than it would otherwise be. I'm happy to be running 3.

  • @PremodernPhil
    @PremodernPhil5 ай бұрын

    At that point in the game, the opponent could still have come back with Parallax Tide + Chain of Vapor, removing all my lands, bouncing the squirrel with a copy of Chain, and then playing the Parallax Tide again. Duress + Therapy proved to be enough discard to outclass the card advantage from Standstill, so it worked out. The opponent may have burned through all the Parallax Tides by that point, but I didn't know how many were in the deck, and I couldn't afford to spend time mulling it over.
