I got the Que for PT MH3 in Naples. I am so overjoyed and grateful to be back on the tour. Thanks for Stephen for capturing this photo of the final round of the RC. We got deck checked and were the last to finish with PT invite on the line. Value tag

I had the privilege of winning an RC invite for Naples this weekend at RC Gent! I played fair breach. I also went 6-3 in the LCQ on Friday to not quite top 16. I like this build/deck a lot and would be happy to talk about it if people are interested.

I had the privilege of making top 8 of yesterday’s modern showcase challenge playing breach. I was thinking about doing a write up on it; I feel like I understand what breach is missing but haven’t found the cards to fill those holes, would be good to put the problem into words.

This was such an incredible experience. So glad to get the reque for PT one of next year, working with these guys was a real level up for me.
The season has now come to an end, and what a year it has been! Although we fell short on some of our goals, we've grown and improved significantly as a team, all the while having a great time! We have eleven players qualified for Worlds, so see you all in Las Vegas soon! 😎

Offer allows you to counter your own baubles to make mana when going off with breach. It also doubles as an additional spell pierce effect which punishes the opponent for trying to play around actual spell pierce.

Ultimately, I think this somewhat depends on what you consider “skill.” In my opinion the biggest component of skill by far is deck building and selection, accordingly the answer to your question is whichever format is the most solved and hardest to solve. Modern is the answer.

This is the best jegantha shell conceivable. Blood moon slows a lot of games to a crawl. Jegantha makes white through a moon. Guide of souls likes giving big creatures flying. Arena likes giving big creatures haste. Fable let’s you trade in for new cards. Red permanent for Ajani

@MisplayMental
I bought 4 because something about it looked broken to me. It’s a 3 mana 3/2 with unblockable, ward 2, that creates a mastery of the unseen on etb that also sometimes has kicker transform into a different creature. That’s just a lot of text.

Grixis death shadow from around the time the deck was first popularized. Bauble, seize, counters, and DS himself all require a certain amount of finesse and expertise to play, and DS had all of them. KCI is hard, but it’s more a matter of learning interactions then finesse.

Do I count? If so, writing a sideboard guide is more useful then following one. However if you’re zero reps into a matchup or deck, then an sb guide is a good jumpstart into getting the hang of it. Either way, for best results think critically about the why behind a change.

The mardu shard contains the three best decks (RB, RW and WB in that order). The drop of on power level between these and the next best is substantial. The combat tricks are worth playing, but you will get some without trying, what you need to fight for is the very mid 2 drops

Thoughtscour is a more mana but less card in GY intensive breach outlet, You can use bauble and scour to control your opponents top deck, and you can also use it as an alt win con in the mirror where going down to less then 10 cards in library is super common in close games.

Remand is probably worse than counterspell. It has higher highs (most notably vs cascade) and lower lows (such as against burn). But I decided that Jegantha was good enough to be worth the downgrade. Either that or I’m just coping.

Every time I’ve played against scam its felt hilariously not close. The scam player either dabs on me or falls flat on his face. I think your suggestions are good, but the problem with that kind of SB tech is that you want them in your opening hand and scam punishes mulligans.

@fffreakmtg
@masoneclark
I would say that the value of the turn 2 thoughtseize argument has decreased as the game has become more and more mana centric. This is less true in formats where card advantaged can be turned back into mana (like legacy which has access to force effects and evoke elementals)

Cast should come in v scales, that was a typo.
The must counters in rhinos are usually endurance and footfalls, countering the rest is much lower priority.
Hearse doesn’t really stop cauldron as they can use it end step, and then again after untap. Stopping undying is useful-

You’re free to play however you want to, but I would say for the most part new players are actually kind of fascinated whenever someone just completely obliterates them, provided that person is nice about it.

Yeah, this is not true. Jeskai beats up on ocelot builds, but jeskai really struggles to play under blood moon. Wrath of the skies I double white, phlage is double white and red, counter spell is double blue. They could have have a plains and island in play and still not function

@NickyBiekz
@EdgarMTG
Yeah you basically nailed it. Turn 2 blood moon off of raptor or ragavan is super unfair in a lot of board states. It also flips the control matchups to actively good. Jeskai’s mana is actively very bad right now, kind of has to be to beat nadu.

A lot of the time consider is just worse thoughtscour. The deck transforms cards in the graveyard to resources so trivially that consider just auto bins a lot. That being said you want to be able to keep one land hands, and consider does that better then scour. More below

Because DRC and EI allow you to look at a huge portion of your deck every game, and breach allows you to reuse the same spell over and over, you get a lot of value from playing 1 off effects. There are a few tricks you can do with scour, I’ve listed some below.

Card is insane, it’s also increasingly absurd in multiples because it can hit itself. That’s probably part of why it’s data is so good.

Oh boy, the idea is sound, but it’s one of those thing that makes me think: “if I have to do this to make this deck playable I am probably better off going back to the drawing board and completely changing my approach.” Might be worth, but I would be hesistant.

@AlbertoCorti15
The blood moons are better, you effectively have more life, and the remands/heats are less clunky then teferi’s and endings. The disadvantages are: you have more spells that you have to counter because your removal is more narrow, you have more instants which is bad for delirium

Not really? I think my sideboard plan for leyline rhinos is to treat it like the fever dream that it is and not engage with its existence. Failing that, bring in dress downs I guess? Over another bolt and IDK.

@GrabuskyMichael
It’s a fair question. I just didn’t want to play teferi. The card is good, but the deck already has strong sorcery speed plays, what it needed in my view was more interaction. Once teferi’s gone you’re only really splashing for the endings, which didn’t seem worth.

Fable tokens and ragavan make excess creatures, phelia likes giving big creatures vigilance. It’s a mana outlet when your opponent represents wrath of the skies. I won game against murktide because jegantha had haste, dealt 10 damage, then gained flying to attack past a murktide

It probably shouldn’t be there lol. I kept losing to scam and REALLY wanted to play some seasoned pyromancers for that matchup, but vsscam is also where jegantha shines the most. I figured if I can’t play seasoned then maybe… fable? Basically the same card, right?

It’s also worth noting that underworld breach frequently says: 1RRRRR win the game, so simpler mana is good.

You can and probably should cut a vents for a thundering falls, I just haven’t gotten to test modern much post mkm release. (I live in Belfast now so my RC was in Gent and predated both MKM and the format having a seizure)

Pick to win is flame jab.
Most exciting build arounds are 1) grisly salvage, 2) flame jab, and 3) life from the loam
Splinter fright is the one I least like.
If I had a cog work I would probably take the badgersaur and flame jab. Close second to life from the loam+flame jab.

If you did do it, I don’t know how you adjust the mana base. You kind of can’t cut an island and you want all the UR lands you have. I think you may cut mountain for stomping grounds and strand for rainforest

In a legacy cube pack I slam the seize here, but I imagine the prescence of commanders and low curves make it much worse in this cube (you’re no longer likely to poke a hole in your opponents curve) I either go for jitte, or rona if helix and amber are in the cube.

@SaffronOlive
I don’t think it’s good, but I believe the main utility is resizing creatures to beat down in games where your locked out of combo-ing while also being somewhat usable as a combo starter. It also works through harsh mentor.
