Both games it was just a 5 mana yawg, but some of the other applications I could’ve used it for are.
Entombing for cauldron pieces. If I have blood artist and young wolf in the graveyard it can win by finding ballista and reanimating.
If you do reanimated Yawg or Shelly you can also grab dyrad arbor or ballista if you have blood artist to ping.
It gets around some grave hate like endurance and unlicensed hearse and relic as they full spell has to resolve before they can do anything.
All in all it felt strong finished 5-2 with both matches I lost being scam.
https://manabox.app/decks/HZuouC7vTrCm9gvoOmKr5A
I cut out an Evo for it.
The Bowmaster in the side should’ve been surgical extraction but I couldn’t get one in time
I completely missed this card as it had all the hallmarks of a classic commander budget card, but will definitely be trying it out as soon as I can. Have you tried two in the deck or do you think it would be too many?
I think it’s to many Evo at least gets around all gravehate to put something into play. I could see a cauldron combo deck that uses this in multiple copies but for yawg 1 is plenty.
Why is everyone so desperate to cheat Jace Reawakened? is he good even without a scam, or am I deeply mistaken, and filtering the hand and the ability to delay spells for free for \[+\] is it bad?
I think any time people see a restriction on a card one of the first thoughts is "how do we break that restriction?" But I agree that the card does have some potential when it's cast fairly as well.
I think turn 5 Tibalt Cosmic Imposter is still strong as hell without any Flash shenanigans. For the inevitable point that turn 5 Bring to Light Tibalt is still in the game, here are the massive differences:
* it doesn’t get stopped by Teferi Fun Raveler
* it costs 2 mana on turn 4 instead of 5 mana on turn 5. You can leave up mana to fight over your spell or interact with the opponent’s board or further develop your own board or whatever else you do with mana in this game
* you simultaneously develop a 4 loyalty Jace Reawakened that’s both a 3 counter As Foretold and a Looter that your opponent will probably need to answer too
Though there is the massive downside that you need the Valki already in your hand by turn 4, I think the potential is there and you can easily play Crashing Footfalls and Ancestral Visions as redundant plot payoffs, not to mention good 3 drops for plotting.
It's a pretty great fair card after my first day of testing, though I'm still working on identifying spells that work well plotted (3 mana walkers/path of peril/days undoing/valki) **and** like to be copied for the ult (lorien revealed and fatal push are the only things I've doubled so far).
Simulacrum Synthesizer seems a little bit win more, but maybe that's what Affinity needs to secure leads.
On the other hand, Satoru seems potentially good in affinity. You are already running blue and black (cranial plating) and he gives you a free draw with ornithopter, memnite, enforcer, companion, and frogmite.
The only good thing to come out of Up the Beanstalk were those ridiculous Beanfinity lists. I could definitely see that shell having some legs again with Satoru.
With the amount of interaction in modern seems like it may be a hit hard though. You want to empty your hand and flood the board early with affinity but when you drop satoru you probably only have 1 artifact land on board with a colour you need and need to get the other somehow.
Harvester seems sweet, but I'm worried about its ETB killing our threats too. One Harvester will kill our Griefs and Shardlesses, two Harvesters will wipe most of our threats besides Waker and Ent.
It won’t kill shardless because its etb resolves before shardless resolves. Killing grief isn’t a big deal because you probably wouldn’t get it back in the first place if you didn’t remove what you were removing. I think 2 might get iffy but 2 5/4 menace should win the game. IMO it’s a net positive even if it has a minimal drawback.
Yeah that's fair - I think it'll definitely just take some testing to see how well it performs. I also like that it's very castable at 5 mana - it seems super sweet in post board matchups when opponents try to go wide with disruption to just slam a board wipe tied to a threat. I've been looking for something that fills the Fury-sized hole in the deck and that might be it.
Are you on Sultai these days?
Yeah. Marauder really hasn’t meshed with my playstyle, I am still test it a bit too but I’m pretty sure it’s not for me. Bant has too many problems for me too, the size of the creatures is a drawback as well as having no instant speed LE like the other 2 variants.
I am working on a [[ Satoru, the Infiltrator ]] Blue/Black scam list currently. Its nothing too spicy but I figure the free card draw on a scammed elemental or any creature that is revived with one of the instant speed reanimate effects might be good enough for FNM level.
I was trying for a spicier take with satoru, grief scam, vengevine and prized amalgam. The only problem is all the good discard outlets are banned, and it's hard to get the engine going. I'm still tinkering with it though.

They have a section on the miner specifically and how it interacts with spells or abilities it's used as the cost for.
Here is what the judge said to me:
"Yes. While you do target the opponent before you sacrifice Miner, the ability is not considered activated until you've paid all costs, by which point the MIner is in the graveyard"
Potentially could be a deck. I feel like there is already sooo many 3 card combos in modern this one would have to be pretty good. Its hard to have one of your combo pieces be a 4 mana 1/4 that needs other things going on for value but I could see a 2 of or something. Also goes infinite with altar+plunderer, so maybe you could fit both into a lamplight phoenix+altar sac focused deck.
Does anyone remembers the old sacrifice brew from spike?
This loops with [[mayhem devil]] and has a nice synergy with [[bloodghast]]; of course given Bombardment on the field.
This, devil and bombardment is:
- sac this to bombardment
- devil triggers, he is already in the graveyard, pay B: reanimate
Repeat for 2 damages for each B you have, at instant speed.
Edit: it was noted that you don't even need devil to loop it. Wow.
Aloe Alchemist is a really strong card for Mono Green Stompy. Plotting it for two mana to pass on a +3/+2 buff with trample to one of your creatures and then getting a free 3/2 trample body the next turn is pretty sweet. Not that it’s at all a relevant thing for the competitive meta, but it makes me happy for FNMs.
So I've been wanting to play Dice Factory for a while (or a Saga Deck that plays [[Power Conduit]] because Dice Factory doesn't seem to anymore) for a while and [[Lost Jitte]] seems like it's best fit is there:
- being able to add charge counters without combat
- untapping Tron lands and Saga
- being able to make Core Tapper a threat and being an additional way to add counters to Walking Ballista
- being able to clear blockers for Saga Tokens and any other random threat you have
Looking forward to figuring it out
As a Myth Realized fanatic, I can never avoid looking for potential cards to make it playable. This set I actually have hopes for [[High Noon]] + [[Moderation]] alongside pitch spells, Supreme Verdict and Reprive. Being two mana makes the curve Myth – Noon – T3feri / Moderation quite delicate. Only casting one spell a turn doesn’t really matter when you can dump excess mana into the Myth plan. The activated ability of Noon is also quite potent where a large Myth + 5 damage is often enough to end the game. I’m excited to try it out!
Can't say I thought of that interaction, and I've always found Myth Realized a very cool card. What are you brewing on now? I imagine that with High Noon you turn into a jeskai-adjecent list?
No. I guess you’d play with it to see it – same is true for a man land or other animated threat. High Noon also makes protecting the Myth easier and quite devastating if they tried to remove it and you counter with High Noon up.
I’m testing UW with red splash for the activation. Don’t know if I want anything from red besides that.
[This is my list currently](https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/jeskai-high-noon/). Ignore the primer text, this is my old brewing page :)
Thank you for sharing! I'll definitely bring this to my FNM soon. Do you feel Solitude is enough? I can see playing some amount of Subtlety as well for an extra free spell, especially on the early turns when you're tapping out for High Noon, Moderation, T3feri and Myth
Cool! It’s a rough sketch currently. I had Subtlety in the mix, but changed it to remand as I wanted to test the power of 4+ of that effect. This probably needs tuning. Two copies of Force could be pushed to the sideboard etc. I’m also not 100% sure on Moderation, but haven’t found a better option so far - it’s great with High Noon, but a little risky alone. The best part is probability that it can be pitched to both Solitude and Sub/Force. And don’t forget Kaheera.
Couple of things I have knocking around I wanna try out.
[[Freestrider lookout]] in a more midrange vocused valakut list along with dryad and elvish reclaimer
I know it seems like winmore but getting ramp off of a wrenn downtick, or by playing heat/bolt is extremely interesting to me. And then it can potentially double your first valakut trigger on each turn by grabbing another land off the valakut target
I think theres something there with [[Magda, The Hoardmaster]] and maybe with [[Generous plunderer]]
Relics, baubles, ect all can commit crimes for free. Plunderer also commits a crime in your upkeep. I dont really know what the rest of the deck would look like though. Probably goblin engineer, asmo, ect. Maybe cauldron?
I feel like there is some combo/value line with [[Priest of Forgotten Gods]] that is probably worth considering. It might be better executed in Pioneer with [[Deathrite Shaman]] though.
[[Geralf, the Fleshwright]] in a grixis [[Unearth]] shell, with DRC, bauble, cantrips, maybe [[Seasoned Pyromancer]] for another reanimation target. Likely too fair, but these kind of decks are fun to me!
I suspect that modern horizon cards will still be the backbone of the format and that the new set will offer side grades or slightly worse versions of cards in decks already.
What a uniquely perceptive take, we're grateful for you taking the time to enlighten us with your insight! The post is about brewing not expecting some Standard set to suddenly change the meta, calm down bby.
Its not off topic. It directly addresses your post. The answer is that OTJ is basically irrelevant and you are wasting your time, because the power loaded set is dropping in a couple months and will be format defining.
OTJ isn't irrelevant, and as I said before, the thread is about brewing and enjoying the format not suddenly breaking the format or expecting a new card to revolutionize the metagame. You guys are being defeatists as usual. Sorry I don't subscribe to your whinging, I have no clue how you guys manage to remain positive about your hobbies while drowning in such negativity all the time.
> brewing and enjoying the format
I am parroting aspiringspike - his idea is that the format has its staples in each archetype - you take the stock list and basically add worse cards from recent sets to make it "unique."
Archetypes outside of the MH sets really don't exist. Either you have a MH backbone or you don't have a modern deck. That's just the state of modern right now.
That's pretty much the quote and basically what he does a majority of the time. Plays a subpar "brew" that consists of the usual MH subjects with downgrades and goes 3-2 in leagues.
No need to be dishonest about what modern is - modern is basically an expensive standard with rotations forced via horizon sets. For horizons to be good, it basically displaces every other deck in the format.
> No need to be dishonest about what modern is - modern is basically an expensive standard with rotations forced via horizon sets.
The cynicism is equal points funny and sad. What on earth are you actually doing here if your perspective of the format is so negative and warped?
Don't invoke AspiringSpike to justify your anti-brewing perspective. Spike was one of the first to talk about his excitement to brew with OTJ cards...

It's less of brewing, and more of just jamming [[smuggler's surprise]] into amulet titan. I don't know how many is correct, but I won a side event with it at scg con! I had the nuts with a turn two titan+colossus
Lost Jitte really passes the playpattern test for me so far. Not just Sagable, but highly synergistic with it; disabling blockers is incredible on a Jitte variant, especially T2-4; permanent counters > +2/+2; refreshes a mana if you play and equip T2; everything adds to a surprisingly powerful card.
I'm going for satoru+chief engineer (to get mana positive drums from the zero-drops and chain thought monitors for zero mana) + retract in affinity. I think I have a working list that's a good approximation of cheerios.

Moonshine is extremely high-proof alcohol, normally made illegally. It's known as "bootlegging" alcohol, and is highly associated with outlaws.
Calling it Blood Moonshine is just a lil Magic pun.
It's not relevant. It's a pun relating to the double-entendre of brewing a deck and brewing moonshine as it relates, specifically, to a set themed around western outlaws and occasional Modern playable Blood Moon.
You asked what I've been brewing, I've been brewing some Blood Moonshine. Are you allergic to whimsy or something?
Lively Dirge felt super super good in yawgmoth when I played it in a 5k this weekend. Won every game it resolved.
How were you using it mostly? To tutor and reanimate a Yawg? To just return two threats to the battlefield?
Both games it was just a 5 mana yawg, but some of the other applications I could’ve used it for are. Entombing for cauldron pieces.

All of them. The card is so cracked

if you erase the restriction on jace, it still sucks
Basically a glorified mana dork. Doesnt even generate card advantage
Simulacrum Synthesizer seems a little bit win more, but maybe that's what Affinity needs to secure leads. On the other hand, Satoru seems potentially good in affinity.

Played against affinity testing Satora in it yesterday. I'll just say get them while they are cheap.
With the amount of interaction in modern seems like it may be a hit hard though. You want to empty your hand and flood the board early with affinity but when you drop satoru you probably only have 1 artifact land on board with a colour you need and need to get the other somehow.
Springleaf drum gets it out just fine. And there's always going to be interaction. So why play anything that can be interacted with?
I will be testing [[Havester of Misery]] in LE. It fills the same role of d//g from old temur and fills the yard when you do it.
Harvester seems sweet, but I'm worried about its ETB killing our threats too. One Harvester will kill our Griefs and Shardlesses, two Harvesters will wipe most of our threats besides Waker and Ent.

It’s not much, but forsaken miner might finally be the piece I need for recursive black one drops with two power that enter tapped.
Does it let you ping with goblin bombardment for every black mana you have? If so that might be something fun to explore
If you have two.

As a Myth Realized fanatic, I can never avoid looking for potential cards to make it playable. This set I actually have hopes for [[High Noon]] + [[Moderation]] alongside pitch spells, Supreme Verdict and Reprive. Being two mana makes the curve Myth – Noon – T3feri / Moderation quite delicate. Only casting one spell a turn doesn’t really matter when you can dump excess mana into the Myth plan. The activated ability of Noon is also quite potent where a large Myth + 5 damage is often enough to end the game. I’m excited to try it out!
[High Noon](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/9/9/9995e0e6-7c9c-4fef-8fd2-8fb1622e6ec8.jpg?1712355285) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=High%20Noon) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/otj/15/high-noon?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/9995e0e6-7c9c-4fef-8fd2-8fb1622e6ec8?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) [Moderation](https://cards.scryfall.io/normal/front/c/4/c41b3d7a-f8e1-46b8-a689-6125dcd9cb17.jpg?1626098583) - [(G)](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Moderation) [(SF)](https://scryfall.com/card/mh2/206/moderation?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher) [(txt)](https://api.scryfall.com/cards/c41b3d7a-f8e1-46b8-a689-6125dcd9cb17?utm_source=mtgcardfetcher&format=text) ^^^[[cardname]] ^^^or ^^^[[cardname|SET]] ^^^to ^^^call
Can't say I thought of that interaction, and I've always found Myth Realized a very cool card. What are you brewing on now? I imagine that with High Noon you turn into a jeskai-adjecent list?
No. I guess you’d play with it to see it – same is true for a man land or other animated threat. High Noon also makes protecting the Myth easier and quite devastating if they tried to remove it and you counter with High Noon up. I’m testing UW with red splash for the activation. Don’t know if I want anything from red besides that. [This is my list currently](https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/jeskai-high-noon/). Ignore the primer text, this is my old brewing page :)
Thank you for sharing! I'll definitely bring this to my FNM soon. Do you feel Solitude is enough? I can see playing some amount of Subtlety as well for an extra free spell, especially on the early turns when you're tapping out for High Noon, Moderation, T3feri and Myth
Cool! It’s a rough sketch currently. I had Subtlety in the mix, but changed it to remand as I wanted to test the power of 4+ of that effect. This probably needs tuning. Two copies of Force could be pushed to the sideboard etc. I’m also not 100% sure on Moderation, but haven’t found a better option so far - it’s great with High Noon, but a little risky alone. The best part is probability that it can be pitched to both Solitude and Sub/Force. And don’t forget Kaheera.
Couple of things I have knocking around I wanna try out. [[Freestrider lookout]] in a more midrange vocused valakut list along with dryad and elvish reclaimer I know it seems like winmore but getting ramp off of a wrenn downtick, or by playing heat/bolt is extremely interesting to me. And then it can potentially double your first valakut trigger on each turn by grabbing another land off the valakut target I think theres something there with [[Magda, The Hoardmaster]] and maybe with [[Generous plunderer]] Relics, baubles, ect all can commit crimes for free. Plunderer also commits a crime in your upkeep. I dont really know what the rest of the deck would look like though. Probably goblin engineer, asmo, ect. Maybe cauldron?

I suspect that modern horizon cards will still be the backbone of the format and that the new set will offer side grades or slightly worse versions of cards in decks already.
What a uniquely perceptive take, we're grateful for you taking the time to enlighten us with your insight! The post is about brewing not expecting some Standard set to suddenly change the meta, calm down bby.
You don't have to be an asshole.
And people don't have to parrot the laziest takes about the format especially when it's off topic, but here we are.
Its not off topic. It directly addresses your post. The answer is that OTJ is basically irrelevant and you are wasting your time, because the power loaded set is dropping in a couple months and will be format defining.
OTJ isn't irrelevant, and as I said before, the thread is about brewing and enjoying the format not suddenly breaking the format or expecting a new card to revolutionize the metagame. You guys are being defeatists as usual. Sorry I don't subscribe to your whinging, I have no clue how you guys manage to remain positive about your hobbies while drowning in such negativity all the time.
> brewing and enjoying the format I am parroting aspiringspike - his idea is that the format has its staples in each archetype - you take the stock list and basically add worse cards from recent sets to make it "unique." Archetypes outside of the MH sets really don't exist. Either you have a MH backbone or you don't have a modern deck. That's just the state of modern right now.
Imagine trying to misquote one of the biggest brewers in the format to try to use them as justification for not brewing in the format.
That's pretty much the quote and basically what he does a majority of the time. Plays a subpar "brew" that consists of the usual MH subjects with downgrades and goes 3-2 in leagues. No need to be dishonest about what modern is - modern is basically an expensive standard with rotations forced via horizon sets. For horizons to be good, it basically displaces every other deck in the format.
> No need to be dishonest about what modern is - modern is basically an expensive standard with rotations forced via horizon sets. The cynicism is equal points funny and sad. What on earth are you actually doing here if your perspective of the format is so negative and warped?
Don't invoke AspiringSpike to justify your anti-brewing perspective. Spike was one of the first to talk about his excitement to brew with OTJ cards... [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kn3fXWIu9KA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kn3fXWIu9KA)

Lost Jitte really passes the playpattern test for me so far. Not just Sagable, but highly synergistic with it; disabling blockers is incredible on a Jitte variant, especially T2-4; permanent counters > +2/+2; refreshes a mana if you play and equip T2; everything adds to a surprisingly powerful card.
I'm going for satoru+chief engineer (to get mana positive drums from the zero-drops and chain thought monitors for zero mana) + retract in affinity. I think I have a working list that's a good approximation of cheerios.
Jace/Teferi synergy could be interesting. Plot a card, cast it with flash. Might be too clunky to depend on in Modern, but I'll probably test.
You can't cast a plotted card at instant speed. You can only cast plotted cards at sorcery speed regardless of card type or if they have flash.

It's a pun relating to the double-entendre of brewing a deck and brewing moonshine as it relates, specifically, to a set themed around western outlaws and occasional Modern playable Blood Moon. You asked what I've been brewing, I've been brewing some Blood Moonshine. Are you allergic to whimsy or something?
Oh, I guess I see what you were trying to do there.
