Podcasts about arclight phoenix

It's bizarro week for Gerry and Dave. Despite Dave trying Creativity in Modern and the newest Heroic-style deck in Pioneer, he eventually finds out that Treasure Cruise and Arclight Phoenix are strong cards. Similarly, Gerry has built several nonsense decks in Modern, but might be casting The One Ring in his RCQ this weekend. Well, maybe they can sneak some bad cards into their good decks... *** Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi *** patreon.com/gerrytpodcast youtube.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/_DaveShiels twitch.tv/gerry_t Edited by: twitter.com/heresasianjon *** Music: Mega Man 2 "Ending theme" Remix by zookun | Music composed by Manami Matsumae & Takashi Tateishi *** patreon.com/gerrytpodcast youtube.com/arenadecklists twitter.com/g3rryt twitter.com/_DaveShiels twitch.tv/gerry_t Edited by: twitter.com/heresasianjon

Dom and Ari take a minute before the big Standard Pro Tour showdown (yeeehaw) to look at the current state of Modern and Pioneer. Has either format broken out of the stranglehold of Scion of Draco or Arclight Phoenix? Is Wild Nacatl headed for another ban? Is Niv Mizzet good or is claudioh just winning again? And most importantly, Dom's pre-PT vibes immaculate or in shambles?Patreon / Twitter / DiscordDom on Patreon

Matt and Jake are living the high life with the legacy format. It is a genuine pleasure to get to see Arclight Phoenix in the top 8 of a challenge and some genuine diversity. Modern, on the other hand, needs to get its shit together. Probably the most laughable top 8s we have seen in modern for a little while.  Legacy Challenge - https://www.mtggoldfish.com/tournament/legacy-challenge-2023-04-16#paper Modern Challenge - https://www.mtggoldfish.com/tournament/modern-challenge-2023-04-16#paper Timestamps Legacy - 33:00 Modern - 1:15:46 Suicide prevention Hotline - 988 Contact us or check out our social media!

Season 11, Episode 6: Otherworldly Gaze (Brew Session) + Faithful Mending (Flashback)   Otherworldly Gaze is the most polarizing card to come out of Innistrad: Midnight Hunt. For some, the very idea of Gaze is anathema. “It doesn't draw a card,” the haters say. “It's Taigam's Scamming all over again,” they say. “This effect is never worth a card.”   Haters are going to hate, but that doesn't mean we have to listen to them. The truth is that any card with flashback does secretly say “draw a card” -- it's just that the card you draw is always another copy of the spell. Then factor in that the flashback is often free if you manage to mill or discard Otherworldly Gaze (say, for example, off your first casting of Otherworldly Gaze). Both halves of Gaze are priced to move, at instant speed no less, and we already know that “surveil 3” is very powerful. If we can't figure out how to make “surveil 3 twice” into a useful effect, that's a deckbuilding failure, not a problem with Gaze itself.   Our testing last week with Faithful Mending already showed us the awesome power of Gaze, as we notched two 5-0 trophies (17-3 overall) with Jeskai Phoenix. Our build relies on Murktide Regent rather than Demilich, and uses a full boat of Otherworldly Gaze to find Arclight Phoenix and Ox of Agonas. We also tested out variations on Esper Reanimator, and found that Otherworldly Gaze has a nice home in that deck as well.   Today, we are going even deeper. Emboldened by his early successes, cavedan is looking to harness the power of Gaze in a slew of different archetypes in both Modern and Pioneer. There are infinite ways to get value from self mill + card selection, from old favorites like Pyromancer Ascension, Miracles, and Crabvine, to new toys like Calibrated Blast and Slogurk, the Overslime. We even get a little wild with a brew using Otherworldly Gaze to fuel Titan's Nest and Willow Geist. And even this is just the tip of the iceberg. What other decks might be able to harness the power of the Gaze?   Happy brewing!   **** Like our content? Support us on Patreon and join our brewing community! **** Decklists for this episode can be viewed at FaithlessBrewing.com ****   Timestamps [4:18] Flashback: Faithful Mending [6:08] Esper Reanimator by Spiderspace [15:18] Mulldrifter Reanimator by Watoo [18:32] Jeskai Demi Phoenix by aspiringspike [22:24] Jeskai Murktide Phoenix by cavedan [32:28] Deathless Peace of Mind by David [42:06] Brew Session: Otherworldly Gaze [45:46] Otherworldly Reanimator [49:53] Neoform + Gurmag Angler [52:11] Calibrated Blast [54:30] Echo of Eons [57:43] Crabvine [1:01:44] Sultai Titan's Nest [1:04:36] Jeskai Pyromancer Ascension [1:10:32] Izzet Phoenix [1:14:11] Closing Thoughts

It's an even split this time: 50% grumping about Magic Organized Play and 50% getting WICKED PUMPED for new Historic. We go over the archetypes we're excited for and the card choices we think will make the difference (especially in Phoenix!) Thanks as always to Wave Sunray for our music!

LSV and BK couldn't be more excited about the addition of Faithless Looting to Historic - they chat Arclight Phoenix, other Mystical Archive cards, and even review LSV's outstanding performance with Pig-Blade in the KHM Championship.Decks of the WeekHistoric CyclingModern Golgari

Chris and Justin are back from GP Vegas, and feeling a little lost after the B&R announcement. The duo cheer the banishment of Hoggak, mourn the loss of Faithless Looting, and question the power of Stoneforge Mystic in modern moving forward. Join us in our discord to keep the conversation going! Stalk Chris on his new Twitch channel!

With the Mythic Invitational II come and gone, Matt and Jeremy have a thing or two to say about it. Not the games as much as the new rule introduced: the London Mulligan. Tron, Arclight Phoenix and more got a nice little boost to their results. Why was that? What are people saying about the London Mulligan?Also, we take a look at the first results of the new meta. Which decks are on the rise? Which ones are falling? Which ones didn't even show up? We talk about which ones we like the most as well.Finally, poor Matt tried grabbing a Mythic Edition on eBay and, well, you can pretty much guess how that worked out. What should Wizards do about this? How bad was it, really?That and more on this week's episode of the Main Phase.Support the show (https://bit.ly/2W9d76a)

Episode 29 of Let's Remember Some Cards! A Magic: The Gathering podcast about the cards, sets, and stories that make Magic the game we love. This week, we celebrate the rebirth of Spring by talking about all 20 Magic cards with creature type Phoenix. We also debate which cards that have Phoenix-like abilities are Phoenixes, and which aren’t, in a segment we creatively call “Phoenix or Not Phoenix.” Starring: Akoum Firebird, Arclight Phoenix, Ashcloud Phoenix, Bogardan Phoenix, Chandra’s Phoenix, Firestorm Phoenix, Firewing Phoenix, Flamewake Phoenix, Immortal Phoenix, Kuldotha Phoenix, Magma Phoenix, Molten Firebird, Rekindling Phoenix, Screeching Phoenix*, Shard Phoenix, Shivan Phoenix, Skarrgan Firebird, Warcry Phoenix, and Worldheart Phoenix Featuring: Ivory Gargoyle, Squee! & other Squee!, Curse of the Fire Penguin, Jungle Creeper & Phytotitan, Vivien’s Jaguar, Rancor (and Friends), Firemane Angel, Deathpact Angel, and Reborn Hero Article on colorshifted cards that didn’t make it into Planar Chaos: https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/latest-developments/not-their-place-2007-01-26 Intro Music: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/TRG_Banks/This_train_doesnt_stop_at_Rugby/This_train_doesnt_stop_at_Rugby Outro Music: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Ryan_Andersen/Swimming/Sunday_Morning_Sun

Steven rejoins the cast for its breakdown of three major Modern events. Arclight Phoenix is everywhere, but is that really a problem?

Last weekend saw several large events (mostly) be dominated by Izzet Phoenix. Surprisingly, there was a different dominant deck at the Hunter Burton Memorial Open and a different take on Arclight Phoenix. There's also the Mythic Invitational in a week, so Gerry and Bryan discuss Duo Standard, best-of-one as a whole, and what sort of innovation there's been since players have been trying to break the format of the million dollar tournament.

Izzet Phoenix may be the best deck in Modern. But why isn't Arclight Phoenix the force in Legacy that it is in the other formats? Learn how that is changing

The duo dig into their middling success (due to lack of skill or time is up for debate) on Arena, and dig into options for modern and Arclight Phoenix decks.

Happy New Year everyone…wait, it's February already!? It's been way too long since our last cast, so with Dr Matt Pavlic being fresh out of basic training, we decided to finally have the Canadian answer to Rambo back on the cast! Joining us tonight is the UK's Callum Smith, who recently played a major role in the development Legacy's hottest deck in town right now: Grixis Phoenix. Callum finished as runner-up in a recent 100+ player Legacy Challenge with it and provides an introduction on how to burn down and reignite phoenixes. Since Callum already covered the ins-and-out of the deck on the latest Eternal Durdles episode (which will release next week I believe), we then move on to focus more on the general Legacy metagame as we bring Mat up-2-speed for his first Legacy tournament in about half a year. Will Siege Rhino prevail? Is Recurring Nightmare gonna make the cut? And which blue enchantment did Dr Pavlic splash into his NicFit deck? Find out on tonight's show! In the last part, Julian explains his reasoning for thinking there are actually too many Grand Prix – and how he feels about the future of non-professional competitive play! Bonus Content: Matt tells us about how to deal with the onsets of a midlife crisis and which car might be right for you. We also find out why the Canadian department of motor vehicles objected to the use of “NicFit” as a license plate.

Corey and Seth discuss new homes for Arclight Phoenix in Modern and Legacy.

Chris continues his (seemingly never ending) prep for Modern GPs, and the duo discusses their approach to the new Modern meta.

Find out all the ways that Arclight Phoenix proves it is already one of the best creatures in Modern!

Whether you're playing an RPTQ, #SCGINVI, or GP Portland, it's going to be a Modern weekend. Fair decks were out in force last weekend at #SCGBALT, but Arclight Phoenix took the top two spots. Did the Modern metagame suddenly shift? Is Jeskai Control good again? Gerry shares his experience with EdB's Mono-Red Hollow Phoenix, while Bryan goes over his prep with Amulet, and why they're likely going to register those decks this weekend. Gerry and Bryan's question of the week is a can't miss either.
