55:08 I think there is a way: - tap all your lands for 7 mana - play Syr Ginger; clamp; boots; desk ( have 1 floating) - play and tap academy for 7 more (up to 8) - sac food and desk; equip Syr Ginger with both equipments (down to 3 mana) - play RecSage to blow up 1 servo Kappa is a 10/10, Syr Ginger is a 7/2 trample and they have to block tough cookie and trinket mage with the 2 remaining servo. I just realized you could also equip the boots on the sage, since Syr Ginger already has haste, making this require less math if the mana checks out. If it doesn't, you can probably play hexdrinker and give it the boots.

@ghostwheelsda3596 2 ай бұрын

Yeah, you'd want to give the rec sage haste here. Syr Ginger doesn't get the counter off the desk when you sacrifice it because it's unearthed, and never hits the graveyard. But the math still works out because of your extra attacker. Nice line!

Shouldn't he have held back to block two damage on a worm though, I feel that would have been more important than 1 damage even if he was playing for the balance

@@bradenkeller1549 If jbro has a balance the goal of the attack isn't to deal 1 damage, it's to get his thraben inspector dead. I think LSV sorta considered this possibility though by noting jbro had already played his land and had just an untapped plains. So the punish for blocking is only if jbro has mox+balance, which is pretty unlikely. If jbro has balance but not the mox the attack is terrible because it means the inspector doesn't get to die by blocking, the 1 damage is irrelevant, and the 2 life matters a lot when LSV is putting him to

16:37 "If you see those both in the top 10 cards every couples games, like you're just gonna win." I had just noticed that only happens once in every 16 games and this guy gets it in the opener in game 1. Luck, skill, victory.

I yelled “cut the boots” like ten times during your many last card cut decisions…😂 clamp I understand, it works once and you’re way ahead, but boots is really bad in this deck, just an artifact.

@nickk6556 2 ай бұрын

The boots would have won him the game at 54:12 if he had searched for mana crypt instead of the the spellbomb. I agree with you it's not great in this deck but kinda funny nonetheless. I think I would have tried cryptic command instead (which actually also would have won in that 54:12 spot without the mana crypt).

at 28:10 you're still live before you draw the skullclamp cards because you could draw into flash+worldspine wurm to survive the turn then rip timespiral or upheaval. Pretty unlikely, but you weren't totally dead.

Regarding Breach combo: I think nobody takes it because they expect other players to hate draft the other pieces. But what ends up happening is no one actually hate drafts the combo.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jMp_Y6x63a3Uh5s.html This was a very cool decision point, evaluating whether to chump the construct and blow up the Mox Opal vs. blow up the construct and keep the rec sage. Ultimately you chose to keep the rec sage since you felt you needed both Time Spiral + Upheaval to win the game, which really means you needed the top card to be skullclamp, then one of the next two to be spiral, then one of the next 7 to be upheaval. Which seems pretty low odds to me, but might be the best chance of winning versus if you simply drew Upheaval. Didn't matter in the end, but found it interesting nonetheless.

Hot take: LSV overrates Mana Crypt. It deals on average 1.5 damage to you a turn and then combine that with fetch, shock, phyrexian mana, and other self inflicted damage/life loss (things like toxic deluge, snuff out, ancient tomb). Then say your opp gets initiative they are threatening 5 more life loss pretty quickly. Not saying it’s bad, just saying it not power. Whereas Sol Ring should be counted as power. Mana Crypt is like Temu version of power. Edit: Happy to farm some engagement for the channel 🤩.

@399pi 2 ай бұрын

Mana Crypt's randomness is annoying and I personally hate the card for it, but there is no world in which it is not power. Compare to Ancient Tomb, which everyone agrees is busted. Assuming you use it each turn, it loses you 2 life a turn. Mana Crypt deals .5 less damage to you on average, and can be played in addition to your land drop like any other mox.

@Jingoa 2 ай бұрын

Mana Crypt is completely bonkers 50% of the time, really good 25% of the time, and everything else the rest of the time. Those are pretty good odds (much higher than LSV winning the flip). Greatness, at any cost.
