The way you explain every move you make is the best thing for me, vocalising your thought process so articulately is what makes you stand out from all the rest arena content creators. Keep it up!

I agree. I don't even watch other channels when the speaker just reads the names of card. Like we can already see that, be more interesting.

It's also made me better at magic I feel since I only started playing last year. Lots more interactions and things to consider than when I started thinking you should use all your mana all the time. Simple things like using draw spells and abilities during your opponents end phase has got me through a lot of games. This first strike trick in the first match is definitely something I'm keeping in the pocket

@soybomb777 9 ай бұрын

I pulled off a similar feat once. Opponent was at one and alpha striked with a thalia for an over kill. I had a blood artist out and chumped thalia draining them to death before lethal combat damage. Was riding high off that for weeks

@JeffLionheart 8 ай бұрын

I've always wondered, can you use the Wandering Emperor's +1 to blank someone's damage by giving them First Strike between the First Strike step and the damage step? If so, how do you time it to do that during Arena?

@strangelaw6384 8 ай бұрын

@@JeffLionheart reading the rules, it seems that "first strike combat phase" isn't actually an extra phase that is added. Rather, it is the way that combat damages are assigned that is being modified by the presence of first strike creature(s) on the board. "702.7b If at least one attacking or blocking creature has first strike or double strike (see rule 702.4) as the combat damage step begins, the only creatures that assign combat damage in that step are those with first strike or double strike. After that step, instead of proceeding to the end of combat step, the phase gets a second combat damage step. The only creatures that assign combat damage in that step are the remaining attackers and blockers that had neither first strike..."

I've been playing something similar but it's a Naya list focusing on agathas cauldron; white gives the other 'modular' creature (bondwarden), the +1/+1 brawler, and ollenbock escort (which blows people out CONSTANTLY because they don't read it or cauldron). Either way, fun variant on the list, thrillseeker is my favorite card from MoM and cauldron is fast becoming my favorite from WoE because of how good they are together

@ClavisRa 9 ай бұрын

For about a year now I've been rocking Kodama on the ladder and only the last month do I see it occasionally now. It's an insane card for Green modified because when it hits early it's the best ramp card in the format, it lets you trample over token chump blockers, and it provides the oddly rare reach for Green with Halana, crucial vs red deck wins. Beastcaller + Thrillseeker is insane, but I'll give you the secret tech to upgrade this: Agatha's Cauldron! Upgrade your anemic arifact package here to Cauldron + Kami + Wrenn and you can burn out players for 30+ damage out of nowhere. The graveyard control of Cauldron is really relevant now too. A couple Nissa at the top end can be ramped into with Kami/Kodama and give you resilience vs. sweepers. Also, it's an insanely fun deck to play with a really complicated decision tree!

@TheChzoronzon 9 ай бұрын

Love the concept, but went harder with the synergies, going a bit more midrange A couple of Tribute to the World Tree and another of Jungan Defends the Temple, both incredibly synergistic here, plus one The Huntsman's Redemption (looking usually for Kodama, Voldaren or Halana) seem to be awesome.
