In this installment of Let’s Play, you’ll find two Modern DEs, one in which we pilot a new version of Esper Hate Bears, and another in which we pilot a tweaked Doran-Rock list. In the comments, let us know what you think about the format. It seems difficult to predict what decks you’ll play in a DE. Maybe you guys know what’s going on better than we do!

I loved the match against Infect, definitively lived the dream!
so does the doran deck getter better or worse post banning?
Theory is that it gets better because it doesn’t lose anything, but now all its hate is worse against an unknown field, so…
I guess I think it’s weird that they banned a bunch of cards before the format had a chance to adapt to a bunch of UR combo and inconsistent one-turn kill decks. Sure, it’s lame getting killed on Turn 0 by a red Chancellor Goblin token, but that happens so rarely that decks like that punish themselves. Too bad. I feel like this Doran build was well-positioned against the field because all of its efficient guys do something disruptive vs. those combo decks. No GSZ means more room for other cards, I guess, but you can still run seven or eight Dorans with Harbinger. And GSZ couldn’t find Spellskite or Sculler anyway.
Maybe Mono-White Iona will have a place in the field.
Or not, since it was running Cloudpost.
Im not sure if youd agree with me or not, but if control rises due to the “”"”slowed down”"”"” format, I think this deck becomes worse, especially since gsz cant find teeg to fend of doj/wrath/damnation/ consume the meek/cryptic command/bsz, or whatever wrath effect your opponent is playing.
HAHA what if polymorph becomes viable.
God, I hope not. I wish there were a Time of Need deck.
“I feel like lagging a bit”
christ you guys are funny. fantastic set, keep up the almost-tier 2 brews.
/me starts the doran set
funny how you mention the mulligan system isn’t intuitive. it seems in every magic vid i’ve ever seen players say “do you want to mulligan?” out loud. i wish instead of having “yes” or “no”, they just had one button that said “MULLIGAN” on it, with a cancel button off to the side if you don’t want to.
In that last game of Doran, I can’t for the life of my figure out why you shipped the turn without Thoughtseizing him. If he Wrathed his own win-condition, you should’ve guessed he had something in hand to replace it with …
Leyline of Sanctity prevents Thoughtseize…
