Made it to mythic once in my life, probably never again. Blood money was my deck

@@outdrawed84 same, only made Mythic once, and it was with Blood Money. That deck was the tits.

It was a good one.

It's still sitting there in history though, if you ever do want to fire it back up

Blood Money with Meathook Massacre and Lolth was the most amazingly glorious experience possible

Deadly dispute and shambling ghast oh I miss those days😢

I wish blood money and despair had overlapped. I guess I should try historic for that.

@@moralnexus that sounds amazing! Maybe I'll start playing historic. Is it time? 🤔

@@tmmayer I wonder if it is too slow for historic

Why did Sheoldred kill all 3?? For the love of me I can't figure it out.

Assigning of lethal damage before moving onto next creature, so only one damage in this case due to deathtouch. Opponent could have just blocked with two creatures.

@@chriselston570 But why was Sheoldred's damage spread over the 3 creatures? It shoul've killed just the first one as far as I know.

@@Seryigs You can assign 1 point of Sheoldred's damage as it is enough to kill a creature since it has deathtouch

If you watch this channel just look at what cards he puts in his decks. He likes to stay relatively competitive and will mostly only use good cards unless he states otherwise. He had a video a long while back where he said he will use the deck creator and put all the most played “best” cards into it not to use as a deck but just to have a reference when building his decks. That’s why his decks never stray too far from the meta. So if you want to know the best removal or board wipes and whatnot, just look at what he’s using in 90% of his decks. Then you have to consider if the deck you are currently using can benefit from any niche cards that are only good in certain builds - for instance there might be a card that’s like 2 mana for 1 damage but if you control a wolf it does 5 damage instead…not a good card in general but probably AMAZING if you have a bunch of wolves in your deck. If you are very new to brewing, the best place to start is with the best decks. Play them, understand why everything works, then try to improve upon it (which will likely not work, but if it does you might be onto something) this will let you see why whatever you did can slightly or drastically mess up the entire deck. Most of the best decks have a “shell”. Shells are a core group of cards that make the deck tick - sometimes these are called “engines” but you hear that more when the shell is based around gaining a ton of value. Find the “shell” in various best decks and study them. Also look at what support cards are used to support the shells. Maybe you find that all the best decks have 3 or 4 sets of cards that make up the shell and then X support cards and X lands. Land counts will shift depending upon the type of deck and support cards will increase or decrease depending on how many slots are left after the shell and lands are in place. Now try to build a good shell or engine based around 3-4 playsets of cards, determine what style of deck you’re making so you can decide your land count - control for instance usually will run 26-28 or even more lands while aggro can get away with 20-22 depending on the amount of colors. Now you have your shell and land count so you know you’ll need to pick X more support cards to fill the deck out. Find what it is you think you’ll need - removal, card draw, ramp etc. Finally you can check your color split and determine what type of lands you’ll be using. Then test it out, what worked well? Did the shell itself work well? If not you have to fix that first, without a good shell the deck will flop. If the shell worked well but the support or lands tripped you up, make adjustments to them but know that you have a good base in place and can make this deck work because the shell is solid. The hard part is restraint. It’s easy to start building your shell and then find 20+ cards that also work with it, but you’ll get off track quickly. Keep that shell tight, figure out exactly what is the most important thing your deck is gonna do and focus everything on that game plan. Most deck building goes badly when you start trying to get too cute and have 6-7 cards all competing for the important slots. The support cards are important too, keep the shell lean so you have plenty of room for support. I often find that I’ve built 3 separate decks and I’m trying to cram them all together rather than splitting them into 3 separate ideas and keeping each deck lean and efficient. Good luck, hope I said something that can help you out

@@danielsnyder6159 I'm excited about the novel you wrote me. I'll try to read it as soon as I can

@@danielsnyder6159 Great post, thanks for this! 👍

Sheoldred only need 1 point of damage to kill the creature since it has deathtouch

​@@kennethjodansy6020 Hi, first of all thanks for the reply. I know the deathtouch part. What seems new is that the 4 dmg of sheoldred can be split. I always thought the 4 dmg would go to 1 creature and if that creature only had 3 toughness then 1 dmg would go to a second creature. But what happened is that the 4 dmg were spread 1+1+2 killing all 3 creatures.

@@Ren-1979 as far as I know that's how deathtouch has worked for a long time now. What you're describing is how trample works, which I'm sure you're familiar with as well. But because it only takes 1 damage to kill each blocker, the DT attacker can take out as many blockers as it has points of power/damage. It's not so much that the damage is being "split", it's that after the first damage point the blocker is dead, so no more damage needs to be applied to it.

​@@arcticus4758ahh that makes sense! one damage -> death ->assign damage to next creature

@@arcticus4758 I will pay attention next time it happens to me. Thanks again for the answers and Merry Christmas! :-)

The difference being the Ghast and Deadly Dispute letting you cast the BotS on turn 4...

@@empirate100 oh no, Elite Spellbinder and Redaine never allowed a turn 4 BontS….

@@daniduc 🧐You're right. Guess only the good memories stuck with me on that one... monowhite was oppressive with its taxation.

What's DROSS? Sorry that I'm asking, but I just returned to the game after 1,5 year.

@@achozen2213Archfiend of the Dross

@@T-Stokes Thanks, is this deck worth crafting (including Archfiend)?

@@achozen2213 Archfiend is a good card yes but idk if it the deck is worth crafting due to the small sample size. If you’re looking to spend your wild cards on proven decks I’d go with the other decks that are already proven winners.

@@T-Stokes Like what for example? Don't have many wildcards that's why I'm looking at mono colored decks.

CGB doesn't need that kind of energy.

hes stopped doing them for standard stuff - can look at the deck list in the description.

Put the blues clues in your notebook, sit in your thinking chair, and solve this puzzle. If you are still stumped then yes, welcome to the new CGB format

No questions!

I think it’s because these games were all streamed. He had a marathon when he got back from his trip. On his second channel he talked about playing the timeless format a day before the video for it was released on his main channel. That video did not have an intro either, and it was part of the stream. It could also be because standard has the new extended rotation. Since less cards are swapped out from decks due to lack of rotation, he could just avoid the deck tech since: A: 80% of it would be talking about cards that aren’t new, B: Most people who watch the videos unfortunately skip the intro anyway, and C: If he covers it while playing, people probably won’t skip it lol.

This is from a livestream

Bladecoil always looks good in theory, and rarely plays out that well after all is said and done. Comparing it to other 6-drops like Chandra, Hopeful Beacon or Trumpeting Carnosaur makes clear why.

Impressive

What will be more impressive is me throwing together a new deck and having it pull off a decent win percentage in Mythic. -___-@@silverdeadnight
