First 5-0 Trophy & my first MTGO league with deck —Oct. 26, 2021
This was my first time running this list which is heavier on red cards. It's a new brew that we have been working on in the Discord channel. Matches:
-2-0 vs Yorion Rhinos,
-2-0 vs Burn,
-2-0 vs Dredge,
-2-0 vs Hammer Time,
-2-1 vs Obosh Red,
The key to most good tournament results is having good hands and dodging bad matchups, and luckily I was pretty fortunate with the former lol. The list felt very good, even though sometimes my mulligans were awful. Credit to Ashanti and DylanMTG for most of the ideas behind this version. Ashanti went 4-1 with the deck today, only losing to the mirror match -_-

GreenHamma this is the generic build as of right now and I currently own it as well.

So, I really like the idea here, very creative! +1
However, I have a couple of concerns also. When your deck flips, you're very vulnerable because if you don't win immediately, your library won't have a card for you next turn and you'll lose. And if I'm not mistaken, your deck can't assemble 20 damage the turn it flips, especially if you go off T1 or 2. Is this correct or am I missing something?

sergiodelrio valid concerns. The deck is definitely sort of glass-canon, where when we decide to go off then yes we really need to win very quickly. There is one copy of Nexus of Fate
so we at least survive another turn, and then you could potentially pitch it to Phantasmagorian to squeeze out one more. The deck should, however, win the same turn it combos. 4 Creeping Chill is 12 damage plus 4 hasty Vengevines adds up to 16 more damage that same turn, so 28 total. Luckily, all that damage can happen independent of the turn it flips :)

Wow, your deck is showing good results on MTGtop8 here and here, awesome!
Did you actually invent this? If so GGWP

sergiodelrio yes it is doing quite well right now! I did not invent the deck. I'm definitely not smart enough XD. I own it on paper now though.

Every since I saw this deck years ago, I've always wanted to make a version of it in my favorite format, modern, but Mana Severance wasn't legal. This the flip cards are a great way to get around that, and I never thought of using Sword of the Meek + Salvage Titan + Vengevine to supply that extra damage. +1
