The Mississippi heat is definitely a much bigger deal inside with the AC on.

I appreciate that! Means a lot.

Definitely hope the deck serves you well. Tamiyo has been my absolute favorite card out of MH3, not even close.

Opened a Tamiyo. Sold it to buy a goyf, and then they switched prices ;-; currently trying to cope myself into a build without her

Oh man, paper tips are the best. "Trampling over for how much?", "Oh yeah, shadow is just a 2/2 (wraith in hand against the bolt deck)", draw and immediately go to attacks to bluff the tbr. There's a whole world of them.

Yo! Thanks so much for stopping by. Always love having more questions, makes it way easier to keep the dead air time away haha.

They're both very good cards for sure. Personally, I don't feel those solve the matchups I'm having issues with, but I don't see them hurting either.

Hopefully y'all aren't part of any of those heat waves across the pond.

@@thecntrlfreak1347 no, just few days of sun before the rain comes back 😭

I mean... It's just a littleeee insane

Good question. Usually sitting at a 4/5, occasionally a 5/6. Only 5 card types in the deck though, so could always experiment with something like dress down. But at the moment, Phlage is the only card out there that actually makes me care about getting them any bigger.

I will, but it might not be until I stop wanting to jam this tamiyo build every day. Gotta ride the hot hand sometimes.

Close, but not quite. Blockers are declared at the very beginning of the blocker step, so declaring that you don't have any blockers isn't passing priority to damage, it's moving to their priority opportunity during the declare blockers step. Then they, as the active player, get a chance to cast spells or use abilities in the blocker step before moving to damage, and you get a priority opportunity to act. Then at THAT point, if you pass priority, it moves to damage. So declaring blockers isn't the actual priority exchange during that step, it's more of a special action that doesn't use the stack or priority.

@@thecntrlfreak1347 Good to know. I wonder how many games I've thrown away due to not knowing this lol. Big shadow fan and just discovered your channel and have been enjoying the game play. Just bought the cards from your previous video to bring to fnm. Hoping to see you try out that recent top 8 deck that uses frogs instead of goyfs.

Played it once, wasn't impressed. Planning to circle back around this week and try it out some more, I've just been really liking hammering down this Tamiyo list. Certainly doesn't mean the frog is a bust, just haven't missed it yet.

Boats are pretty expensive... But maybe I can rock like a small office chair?

I'd say there's always a place if you want it. If it were my recommendation, I'd be looking at drown, force, and 3rd tamiyo as potential cuts for the bowman. Or the wraiths and add another land if you're less interested in flipping Tomato.

That she is, some would argue the best 1 mana planeswalker. Sorry Kytheon.

🤣 That's pretty hilarious. I've got AC, just takes a bit to get rolling when you have an unexpected heat wave.

Not particularly. Usually if you're able to flip the first, you don't need a second. And if you aren't, then it's probably a matchup you don't want tamiyo in to begin with.

I agree, but I'm also 9-2 right now in the nadu matchup, so I wouldn't call it insignificant. It's certainly not a bye, but we do have all of the good tools to fight against it.

@@thecntrlfreak1347 9-2 ?? Hmmm, I guess Nadu musn't be as ez to play as I feel it is when playing it

Short answer, it just hasn't been killing anything I care about killing. And with 4 counterspell, stub, and some number of drown, I haven't really cared about the one ring.
