Hello, everyone! Welcome to another episode of Much Abrew About Nothing. Last week, we had a pretty clear winner for the title of most popular Instant Deck Tech deck: a sweet Modern combo build featuring Paradox Engine and a ton of charge counter synergies that we're calling Proliferate Engine! The idea is to use artifacts to ramp into Paradox Engine and then use Paradox Engine to make an essentially infinite amount of mana by tapping and untapping all of our mana rocks whenever we cast a spell before closing things out with Walking Ballista, Aetherflux Reservoir, or Emrakul, the Aeons Torn. The deck looks pretty janky on paper, almost like Lantern Control and Storm had a baby (which would be just about the strangest celebrity deck couple in Modern). Plus, we have to compete with one huge problem in Stony Silence, which not only locks down our deck but is also among the 10 most played cards in Modern. Can we dodge our opponent's sideboard hate and pick up some wins with Paradox Engine in Modern? Let's get to the videos and find out; then, we'll talk a bit more about the deck!
