Dredge is a balanced mechanic with a cost and a benefit. The benefit is you get to mill cards and the cost is you have to replace your draws with 4 mana 3/3s or whatever. I'm sure this is what they intended when they designed it.

I really appreciate the Piloting Discussions for decks during these videos. That Casual-Competitive vibe of actually trying to discuss what choices to make at a higher level is such a huge reason I think Dredge and reanimation are interesting mechanics.

Unlikely, since they recorded all of these at the same time several weeks ago (notice how they're wearing the same clothes and Wheeler is a bit sick in all of them), while the deck was brewed fairly recently. Maybe they're producing another season right now, it might be included there.

Something that was really nice on the latest Canlander FNPF was very quickly talking about the points in the deck. I know that can be tricky for recorded games because it will change, but it might be nice to have alongside the brief deck descriptions.

57:10 The line of play I think I would've made here looks like this: Play recurring nightmare. Sac voice of resurgence for any creature. Attack with Sun Titan alone. It returns Voice. It trades with Stinkweed Imp. Post combat play Recurring Nightmare, sac voice to get back sun titan, getting back voice. Then place recurring nightmare a third time (using 9 of his 10 mana). Sac the voice to get back another creature. Ends the board with 7-9 creatures, three of them being elementals. I don't think Surge noticed that he could just easily loop and recur sun titan+voice to scale up number of creatures while also double hitting off sun titan. It didn't end up mattering but I am never surprised at how nuts Recurring Nightmare is.

how does the dredge deck win if it activates hermit druid?

@ShinerCCC Жыл бұрын

probably mills Narcomoeba in the process and plays 1 basic land so Path to Exile and Assassin's Trophy and Field of Ruin don't cause a huge minus. You want brakes in case a control deck has a counterspell ready, you win the game if you mill half your deck anyway. You play one of the two 1mana Unearth creatures, Dregscape Zombie costs B and Fatestitcher costs U. Play the land Hermit Druid got you to summon Bloodghast. Every other thing that can summon itself from the GY easily costs 2 or more mana, Haunted Dead is the best option. You sacrifice Hermit Druid + two more creatures to flashback Dread Return targeting Lotleth Giant, which hopefully kills them. For killing them through Glacial Chasm/Worship/Solitary Confinement there's a more complex line that wins off flashing back SevRec to return Crucible/Ramunap Excavator + Fastbond, to loop Radiant Fountain and Wasteland for infinite mana to kill them with Cut//Ribbons. If they have Platinum Angel/Empyrion then you'd better be playing Ancient Grudge.

If Stinkweed Imp deals combat damage to a creature, triggering its ability, and then that creature's controller responds by giving it protection from black; it still gets destroyed, yes?

@edgarmarques4646 Жыл бұрын

Yes, that ability doesn't target and protection ironically doesn't protect against destroy effects. If you however give it protection before the damage the imp doesn't deal damage to it so the ability doesn't trigger.
