After that we'll take a deep dive into Legacy to learn about what makes the format tick. We'll discuss some of the archetypal pillars of the format, important cards, and start to figure out how we might brew in this wild and crazy format.

Serum Visions is a Magic: The Gathering podcast about iterative brewing. Each episode we work on a project -- a deck, strategy, or archetype that we think has room for exploration -- and brew to the fringes of competitive deck building. In this episode we'll recap our experiences brewing with Painter's Servant; will the plucky little scarecrow be the next big hit in Modern? Spoiler alert: nope! After discussing our Painter brews we'll revisit some old lists that we've got some fresh ideas for in 2021 -- this is a podcast about iterative brewing, after all. ------------------------ Decklists from this episode: Arun's "UG" Erayo - https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/3312084#online Arun's Temur Kinnan Breach - https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/3606846#online Arun's Grixis Lazav Breach - https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/3652916#online Brian's Painter Chord - https://scryfall.com/@untwisted/decks/42e7fa1c-f98d-4496-9f3c-9e6193173c40 Zach's Urza Chalice Painter - https://www.streamdecker.com/deck/qHA_rTDBW Zach's Untested Urza Painter - https://www.streamdecker.com/deck/O1xZ6Bfg7 Zach's Bellower Combo Painter - https://www.streamdecker.com/deck/Pcr4t-Uki Cavedan's Suggested Tweak to the Bellower Combo deck https://www.streamdecker.com/deck/PBUMUcohv Zach's Simic Land Loss -( I can't Believe It's Not Ponza!) - https://www.streamdecker.com/deck/OgFNPhu_w Zach's Stream with Lawson Painter - https://youtu.be/XRcwQsrUM5w ----------------- Find us on Twitter: @SerumVisionsMTG Email us: serumvisionspod@gmail.com Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/7TrmwYh
Serum Visions is a Magic: The Gathering podcast about iterative brewing. Each episode we work on a project -- a deck, strategy, or archetype that we think has room for exploration -- and brew to the fringes of competitive deck building. In this episode we discuss the results of our budget brews, which strategies panned out, and which were better left alone. We'll discuss further modifications we might make moving forward, and our general lessons learned about brewing with budget constraints. After that we'll open a new project, Project Painter. Painter's Servant is a wild card with a unique ability that has seen next to no Modern play. We'll take a closer look at what makes the Scarecrow powerful and how we might best exploit it in Modern. ------------------ Decklists From Today's Episode: Arun's Mono B Tron - https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/3629666#online Brian's Mono R Trongineering - https://scryfall.com/@untwisted/decks/722e67b1-e014-4df4-a3db-a2aa3fb0044b Brian's Budget Song of Creation Combo - https://scryfall.com/@untwisted/decks/c3bcab1a-01b0-473e-8ef0-0b4b70e8bb2e Brian's Song of Creation Combo (non-budget) - https://scryfall.com/@untwisted/decks/d8ed276f-e479-4d8e-a738-e0b506267a1a "No Bad Spells Painter" (Legacy deck) - https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/3611545#paper ----------------- Find us on Twitter: @SerumVisionsMTG Email us: serumvisionspod@gmail.com Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/7TrmwYh

We welcome special guest, the one and only Emma Partlow, to the show to discuss some of the best ways to cut costs in a deck, how to evaluate budget replacements for expensive cards, and how we approach brewing if we know we'll be pushing up against monetary or Tix rental limits. -------------------------- Deck lists from today's episode: Arun's Bant Erayo - https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/3612245#online Arun's Temur Kinnan Breach - https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/3606846#online Brian's Sultai Whirza - https://scryfall.com/@untwisted/decks/1e705bd0-ebfe-4bfd-8a4e-101e9a068fa4 Zach's Mono RAD Artifacts - https://www.streamdecker.com/deck/SUEZqQi1v -------------------------- Where to find Emma: The BM Cast - https://thebmcast.fireside.fm/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/emmmzyne TCG Player: https://infinite.tcgplayer.com/author/Emma-Partlow ---------------------------- Find us on Twitter: @SerumVisionsMTG Email us: serumvisionspod@gmail.com Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/7TrmwYh

In this episode we check in on the prison brews from last episode, talk about some fun or interesting prison interactions we found that show potential, and discuss possible changes to our lists. We'll circle back to Project Urza again for a quick check in on a list Brian has had some success with before diving deeper into the Prison archetype by brewing up some hate bears and taxes lists.

Serum Visions is a Magic: The Gathering podcast about iterative brewing. Each episode we work on a project -- a deck, strategy, or archetype that we think has room for exploration -- and brew to the fringes of competitive deck building. In this episode we follow up with the results from our leagues with Monastery Mentor and check in on any Urza brews. After that we open the books on our next project, Project Prison. The Prison archetype is a highly polarized, time honored archetype with many avenues for exploration. In this episode we'll look at the history of the Prison Archetype in multiple formats, look at what tools and techniques are used to lock an opponent out, and brew up some spicy new prison decks for testing.

Serum Visions is a Magic: The Gathering podcast about iterative brewing. Each episode we work on a project -- a deck, strategy, or archetype that we think has room for exploration -- and brew to the fringes of competitive deck building. In this episode we check in on the field tests for Project Urza, discussing our deck lists from Episode 1 -- what worked, what didn't, and where we plan to take Urza next. After that it's back to the lab where we'll open our next project, Project: Mentor. Monastery Mentor is one of few cards that occupy space on the Vintage Restricted list due to power level, but see little to no play in other eternal formats. We'll look at the history of Monastery Mentor in competitive play, examine what conditions are necessary to make the card playable, and cook up some Mentor brews.

Serum Visions is a Magic: The Gathering podcast about iterative brewing. Each episode we work on a project -- a deck, strategy, or archetype that we think has room for exploration -- and brew to the fringes of competitive deck building. For our first Project we try to give new life to an old friend. Urza, Lord High Artificer hasn't been doing so hot in the modern leagues or challenges lately. We'll go deep, exploring the history of Urza decks in modern, examining what made them powerful, and questioning why they've fallen from the top tables. With a solid foundation under us, we'll see if we can rebuild the Urza decks. We'll take some brews into the queues to find out.
