Now, thanks to the bannings, graveyard hate is on the downswing, which means a deck like Abzan Rally-looking to use Satyr Wayfinder and Stitcher's Supplier to stock the graveyard, Blood Artist, and sacrifice outlets to reanimate with Rally the Ancestors to get an Aristocrats, self-sacrifice-style combo kill-actually has a chance in the format! So today, we're going to see if a slower graveyard-focused plan (with a sweet combo kill) can work on a budget! Do the recent bannings mean it's Satyr Wayfinder time in Modern? Let's get to the video and find out then, we can talk more about the deck!įirst, a quick reminder: if you enjoy the Budget Magicseries and the other video content on MTGGoldfish, make sure to subscribe to the MTGGoldfish YouTube channel to keep up on all the latest and greatest.

He encourages Japanese people to fearlessly venture abroad without worrying about language insecurities or grammatical mistakes, just like Yasumura did.Dobar dan, Budget Magic lovers, it's that time once again! While it's almost time to start exploring our new post-rotation, Throne of Eldraine–infused Standard format, we're heading back to Modern this week to play a deck built around some of my favorite cards in the format: Abzan Rally! With Hogaak, Arisen Necropolis and Faithless Looting in the format, there was too much graveyard hate floating around to try to play a fair(ish) graveyard deck looking to be tricky and synergistic and win in the mid-game. Meshida views this as a fantastic example of an English mistake leading to comedic interactions with the audience. Learning from this, Yasumura began asking, 'What am I wearing?' and the audience naturally replied, 'Pants!' And that's how he managed to pull the crowd into his comedic dance. Since the transitive verb 'wearing' requires an object, the audience probably thought he was waiting for them to fill in the rest. Whenever Yasumura dropped his catchphrase 'I'm wearing!' the crowd would respond with a resounding 'Pants!' (In British English, 'pants' means underwear.)

Meshida, a Japanese stand-up comedian with training experience in the United Kingdom, raises an interesting point. By revealing his undies from the get-go, he served up the perfect comedic concoction of surprise, eccentricity, relief (that he didn't actually drop his underwear), and a touch of Japanese exoticism that captivated his audience. That's what makes Yasumura's moves so ingenious. While sumo and public baths are part of everyday life in Japan, Western cultures tend to view nudity in public spaces as taboo.
