Modern’s Most Unique Deck Yet: Simic Birthing Ritual!

We’re back with another Modern stream, and this time we’re playing the deck that just won the Modern NRG event — Simic Birthing Ritual! Friend of the stream Nate Perigo took down the tournament with this new take on the value midrange archetype, combining Coiling Oracle, Ice-Fang Coatl, and Fblthp with the incredibly powerful Birthing Ritual engine. This deck grinds harder than anything else in Modern — and with free counterspells like Force of Negation and Subtlety backing it up, it’s got serious staying power. Could Birthing Ritual be the perfect choice in today’s metagame? Tune in as SystemMagic tests this new deck and finds out! ======================================= Catch our Twitch Streams Live:   / systemmagic   Support us on Patreon:   / systemmagic   Live Twitch Schedule: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 9pm CST ======================================= 🦋 Stream Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/systemmagic.... 💬 Stream Twitter:   / systemmagicmtg   🥇Andrew's Twitter:   / ajelenbogen   🕯️Greg's Twitter:   / systemmagicgreg   🎬 Main Channel:    / @systemmagic   📖 Decklists: https://moxfield.com/users/SystemMagic ======================================= 0:00 – Intro & Deck Tech 8:20 – Match 1 vs. Domain Zoo 26:55 – Match 2 vs. Ruby Storm 42:59 – Match 3 vs. Samwise Combo 1:11:16 – Match 4 vs. Jeskai Obosh 1:30:21 – Match 5 vs. Jeskai Blink 1:54:26 – Wrap Up + Discussion
