U got the timecode?

@@ConfusedArmy 19:15 devolving 19:55 reevolving

its the circle of life

To be fair, not a whole lot of time to process it, since he evolved it again immediately.

@@nordioch4978 Yeah, and he was focusing on the tactical choice itself by the opponent.

Yeah, both the wins relied heavily on Mozaki going off. If you don't draw her, the deck might not be able to get there most of the time. But you're right, it does seem a lot of fun.

Well to be fair, Kibler is one of the streamers that for some reason does not chain card effects and just waits them out. That in combination with just spending time to think, is easily a minute lost each turn. sidenote: Especially when the green button is showing (= you cannot do anything anymore this turn for sure) and he waits, it kinda hurts my inner sense of ... efficiency? In most cases, I personally would wish for the rope to go down faster so I do not have to wait that long for the opponent. EDIT: Ideally, when any sort of animation effect is running, the turn timer would just increase (almost) accordingly, in turn cutting down the "normal" turn timer. I guess that is too hard to implement? If not, I wonder why it does not work that way.

UnseenIncognito it’s bcuz he’s an old man

Bro there are already games i need to wait for my opponent doing the most obv boring play i can think of, roping every second turn. Is it so hard to decide whether u use the aoe or not god dammit?

thanks man

No problem

the deck has different ways to generate it randomly, so is probably considered waste of space.

@@nastyvichavoc8 not really, spell generation has no cost limit in mage, you would generally get more expensive and weaker alternatives, like the new 3 mana spell

It'd be okay I guess, but as Kibler always says: if you consider putting a card into your deck, think about which card you would want to remove in its place.

@@obviousbear1289 combustion, sorcerous substitute, ray of frost

@@Bruh-el9js Ray of frost is an absolute staple in any deck that runs Mana Cyclone. Sorcerous substitute is pretty much a guaranteed 12/12 split on two bodies. And combustion can either be an AoE or a high damage single target removal. Honestly, I'd pick all 3 over arcane explosion any day.

How’s he got all the new cards golden too though already.

Thats called editing

She seems op as how she retains her spell dmg and doesn't lose it after the end of the turn. I would not be surprised if she gets nerfed.

Simeon Grozdev No, sorcerer’s apprentice will get nerfed instead.

@@tagnetorare5401 more like put into the hall of fame

@@erito9507 She's a problem in wild too. But honestly, these tempo mage decks would need to be completely rethought without Sorcerer's Apprentice. But uh, I don't think Mozaki seems OP at all. She's a strong mid-range snowball card.

@@erito9507 Highlight videos from expansion release experimentation streams are not a good indication of how a card will actually perform, she is just a 5-mana 3/8 with no abilities until you start casting spells and it requires at least 3-4 other cards before the spell damage becomes notable. I'll honestly be surprised if the card sees any competitive play at all, it does look cool to high-roll with discounted evocation turns and such so at least it should have a nice life as a meme card but actually trying to win with this consistently just doesn't sound realistic.

When he hovered the card it was at 17, then after he selects it to be played you see the effect of Mozaki go off from the arcane missiles. He just picked it before arcane missiles finished resolving so it didn't display the 18 damage yet.

10/10 naming!

There should be a troll mage hero, then we could call Da Mage

@@mysticalsquire that's my next DND Character right there

Or call the deck ‘D-A-M-A-G-E’ You know... _spell_ damage

You can't say Damage without MAGE

Streamers and other people get early access

You're missing the point of the combo/low spell cost style of the deck. When you are playing with spell damage, damage scales better with cheaper spells since you can cast more spells which means you're multiplying the effect of the spell damage by the amount of spells you're casting. For example lets say you have 10 mana and Mozabi Master Duelist on board with + 10 spell damage you could either cast x2 Frostbolt(26 damage) a fireball(16 damage) and x2 arcane missiles(26 damage) for 68 damage in total(using 10 mana) or you could cast x1 pyroblast for 20 damage(using 10 mana). That is not taking into account the fact that SorcApprentice could discount your cheaper spells to 0 for free casts. Hope this helps, cheers.

Pyroblast doesn't benefit that much from spell damage. Missiles, Fireball and Frostbolt would all be way better.

That rotated out, like, three months ago my dude.

@@The5lacker A shame it did, since for a while it was the only card in a spell damage deck

Nearly half his deck is just new cards, mate. Spell damage decks were technically a thing, yeah, but they were tier 6 meme decks you'd only see streamers use every once in a while. It's cool to see a legit take on those decks that actually seems playable.

@@Mrbolinea Not even close to the deck that I was talking about
