Second, Starfield of Nyx works well with Paradox Haze once we have it on the battlefield, since it reanimates an enchantment on our upkeep, which means we get two enchantments from our graveyard to the battlefield for free each turn. First, since we have Starfield of Nyx in our deck, we can mill our Paradox Haze in the early game when it's bad and still have it on the battlefield in the mid- and late game when it can be great by giving us an extra upkeep to trigger all of our upkeep cards. Starfield of Nyx is great in our deck for a couple of reasons. While we have a bunch of cards that can take advantage of our extra upkeeps, our two main combo pieces are Starfield of Nyx and Curse of Misfortunes. Thanks to a handful of enchantment synergies in our Starfield Paradox deck, even when our extra upkeeps aren't relevant, Paradox Haze is often doing something by supporting our other enchantments, just by being an enchantment itself. The biggest reason to play Paradox Haze in an enchantment deck is that it helps to minimize one of the biggest drawbacks of Paradox Haze: it's a three-mana enchantment that doesn't do anything right away and might not do anything for a while if we don't have a card that cares about upkeeps. Because of this, I spent quite a while digging around through the various upkeep cards in Modern before eventually landing on the list we're playing today. In theory, there are a lot of different possibilities for Paradox Haze, since there are a lot of different cards that trigger on a player's upkeep and because Paradox Haze can enchant either player.

Let's get to the videos and find out then, we'll talk more about the deck!Ī quick reminder: if you haven't already, make sure to subscribe to the MTGGoldfish YouTube Channel. Then, we get down a Paradox Haze along with Starfield of Nyx to start reanimating not just one but two enchantments each turn, thanks to our extra upkeep, and hopefully use these enchantments to win the game. The basic idea of the deck is to fill our graveyard with enchantments, many with abilities that trigger on our upkeep. In the end, it came down to Paradox Haze and Blood Sun, and the final tally was Paradox Haze taking down the win, with its 1,830 votes edging out Blood Sun's 1,827! As such, we're heading to Modern this week to play a deck I'm playing Starfield Paradox. Last week, we had one of the closest Against the Odds polls of all time. Welcome to episode 126 of Against the Odds.
