For example, Bloodbraid Elf is guaranteed to cascade into a creature, which means just a single Bloodbraid Elf will give us two creatures in a turn to get back our Vengevines. While being all creatures does mean we're lacking some Hollow One / Vengevine staples, it also opens up some cool tricks that other similar decks lack.Then, when we cast a Hollow One, it's automatically the second creature we cast during the turn, which means we get back all of our Vengevines to build a massive board and hopefully beat our opponent to death in just a turn or two. Since Bazaar Trademage allows us to discard three cards (after drawing two) all by itself, it makes any Hollow Ones we have in hand free, while the discard allows us to pitch up to three copies of Vengevine. On paper, it looks extremely janky, but in practice, it can get some incredibly strong nut draws, with 12 or even 15 power of creatures on the battlefield as early as Turn 2! The best thing our deck can do is play a mana dork on Turn 1 into Bazaar Trademage on Turn 2. As for the deck itself, it worked surprisingly well.Now I realize that, at least for the time being, Lurrus of the Dream Den is Modern, and there isn't really a way to avoid playing against it multiple times a league (outside of pure luck). But after playing against Lurrus twice in a row, I started scooping whenever I saw it revealed as a companion, not for power-level reasons but to try to have a somewhat diverse video to show all of you. When I recorded this about a week ago, I was still under the illusion that it was possible to play against a reasonable number of non– Lurrus of the Dream Den decks. As for our record, the video is actually a mashup of two leagues.

Can a strange all-creature version of Hollow One work? How good is Umori, the Collector in Modern? Let's get to the video and find out then, we'll talk more about the deck!

As a result, we have to play some weird, janky cards to fill our graveyard for Vengevine as well as discard cards for Hollow One, like Lotleth Troll, Bazaar Trademage, and Noose Constrictor.

Today's deck, while still built around getting Vengevine in the graveyard and casting Hollow One for free (possibly to get back Vengevine), also features Umori, the Collector as its companion, which means we are restricted to playing only creatures. Hollow One and Vengevine have been playable Modern cards for a long time now, but normally, they require spells like Faithless Looting (rest in peace), Burning Inquiry, and friends to power them up. Hello, everyone! Welcome to another episode of Much Abrew About Nothing.
