Super weird and subtle rules interaction at 30:08 - Bard class's +1/+1 counter replacement effect determines whether it applies to Klothys before Klothys is on the battlefield. At that moment, devotion is 6, so it's not a creature and does not get a counter. If bard class was worded as a triggered ability (i.e. "whenver a legendary creature enters the battlefield under your control, put a +1/+1 counter on it"), it would be different: then Klothys' devotion would count, and it would get a counter. So technically you could have played Galia first to have Klothys enter a bit bigger, not that it mattered.

I absolutely adore the games where you have to go over the top with level 3bard class. Bardstorming is my favorite thing to do with these decks, and I'd often throw games because I'd rather do it than follow more straightforward lines that definitely won the game.

After slapping this together and running it through the explorer queues, I enjoy this deck way more than the standard version, particularly because I feel like it gets to max Bard Class out way more often than when I played it in standard. It also just has way more variety of legends so you get to turn a bardstorm into a much wider board. Thanks for getting me to look at this deck again.

Always a treat seeing Bard Class in action. My brain keeps thinking the deck could do with one copy of Mirror Box. For those situations where you go off with Burgi, and keep drawing redundant Legendaries. Then again, that's kind of a "win more" situation, so not entirely necessary.

@LegenVD11 ай бұрын
I understand change can be annoying, but there are still plenty of ways to see which format it is. - It's written in the video description - I mention it within 10 seconds of the video starting - On my channel page every format has a separate playlist - I keep the old naming convention on both Patreon and Aetherhub for easy browsing aetherhub.com/User/LegenVD/Decks The upside is that this will encourage more people to check out videos on formats they would not usually play.

I played Mirror Box in the previous iteration of the deck. It's nice when it works but often too slow. I would rather play 3x of most Legends and have fewer issues with the Legendary rule.
@Dreadnote-pf7of11 ай бұрын
Yeah, I think mirror box is more suited for fun and janky plays when you just like to do silly thing and sadly it would slow down this deck, because most of the time if it go off - it could win without it just by using burst value and drawing (or rather exiling) through the deck, putting all good stuff and smacking your opponent. And if you not going off - then MB wouldn't probably save you. So while its a more fun and interesting approach it would lower powerlevel of a deck (while, well, making it a little bit more endgame-heavy by allowing your to create bigger boardstate. So in some matchups it could be a good thing... But I think that this deck want to win as fast as possible using its mana-cheating and raw power)

Whenever I play historic BO1 its 70% dimir+ self mill, 10% minion of the mighty, 10% greasefang, and 10% first time players who dont know what they are doing playing mono-blue flyers/counters and conceding on turn 4 when they counter the wrong thing and forget that partners has reach. The combo decks have yet to fail to have every part of their combos in more than 50 games either. Just....not that. Anything but that please. I will happily play against mono-white and mono-red every game if it means that I dont have to play against 10 combo decks in a row that are obviously taking advantage of the fact that the shuffler is neither ok nor random.
