so evergreen format players have this thing where they carry on whatever deck name they were using even after switching to basically a whole new one. you can picture how that happens:
>death and taxes is good
>community forms
>meta shifts, now it's bad
>new deck the d&t players like emerges, probably sharing some cards they can now reuse
>stoneforge mystic is the new death and taxes!
but here it's funny because it's another step removed. this is just a modern flickerwisp deck (
https://www.mtggoldfish.com/archetype/modern-orzhov-midrange) with stoneforge mystic (and aether vial, which doesn't show up on the mtggoldfish list I linked but I can't imagine some people aren't playing it) thrown in for no good reason other than clickbait in title, or just the joy of playing stoneforge mystic again.
vido's (poorly sorted) decklist if you're curious:
