@guts9043 4 жыл бұрын

I enjoyed this episode just like how I enjoy all Game Knights episodes, but there was something really nagging at me after watching it. I feel like on an overall scale, all of these precon decks really misrepresented the performance that they were capable of. Jimmy basically only able to mutated once, Josh only copied two spells, Cassius only was able to cycle properly twice when his commander was out, and like he said had no cycle cards after turn 5, and finally Alias had only one creature in her graveyard when she cast Kathril. This is not about how well the players performed, no not at all, but how, unfortunately, most of the good/key cards that display what the deck was meant to do just simply didn't show up. Perhaps I have been to spoiled by past episodes where crazy explosive turns would happen and the board would be wiped multiple times, and finally by outplaying through some sort of advantage, or simply cashing in favours, one is left standing! However I felt at the end that the entire game became more or less a slug fest due to many players top decking lands and missing many of their pieces throughout the game. I hope I didn't enrage any fans because I just wanted to make a point that just one or two decks underperformed, but on a general level that was the case I feel, but that's just my opinion :-)

@fuckingimpossible 4 жыл бұрын

What you are seeing are decks with too many lands and unfortunate variance due to decks that just aren't tuned very well. It's ok that this happens, and we should all expect this from these precons; that is, as they have been released. I would prefer the precons be built with better options and less tap lands! The themes were strong, but the decks are pretty underpowered and stretched thin by very greedy mana requirements with weak mana bases. I don't want the folks at CZ to feel like they need to alter the actual gameplay to make it more exciting, so I prefer seeing how the decks do being piloted by competent players. If they perform poorly, that is very valuable information about what you may be inclined to spend your money on.

This year Commander cards show up in the Collector Boosters, meaning a much bigger influx onto the market. It'll be a highish cost card, but not nearly as bank-breaking as cards that have shown up in Commander products before. So don't go buying them now, either to use yourself or to sell on later - they'll be a fraction of the price in a year once LGSes are open again and the Collector packs have been opened en masse.

Anyone else notice that Josh played Haldan a turn before he needed it? He actually talked about why to avoid doing that in his C20 Commanders video. I guess he learned from experience. (In more than one way, given the Nascent Metamorph interaction...)

@AnonYmous-mc5zx 4 жыл бұрын

Buddy and I were actually talking about how Halbro and Doggo would make a really good infinite mana deck. You play Doggo, get some attack triggers, possibly resonate all of them. Possibly extra combat steps. Get your infinite mana engine online. Cast Halbro and then go to town.

Thanks to you and your team! I am a beginner at MTG and going into your local shops in the UK in my area can be a bit annoying to ask how it all works. I go in and they look at you weird if you don't already know everything. So I found the culture around it really antisocial at first for beginners. This helped me to get into the games, see how much fun it is, and how everyone can play. Thanks to your videos I can now say I have built a lot of my own 60 card decks, and now own a few prebuilt commander decks (including two from this video). It is amazing how much personalisation and creativity goes into your deck building, and how easy you can tell if you haven't built it right as soon as you test it out. It is also nice as every deck can be a little art collection too. Thanks for showing the Ultra Pro products too, the mats and deck boxes are so pretty and such good quality!
