In G3 when I kept the Karn in hand and got punished with Grief I was assuming you had a FoW since you didn’t shuffle with Ponder. The next turn I could get Vexing Bauble and replay Karn with protection to lock down all your lands with Key+Coating. Obviously feels silly seeing the other side 😂.

1:19:57 In game 3 vs Painter instead of casting Stifle on Servant you casted Force pitching Daze... which in turn was countered by vexing bauble. Im not quite sure if Stifle even works on Painter as I think its ETB ability is static and not a trigger.
@MaxtortionMTG
@MaxtortionMTG 11 күн бұрын
My plan was to Force pitch Daze, and then Stifle the trigger generated by Vexing Bauble (that's countering the Force), letting the Force resolve on Painter. You're correct that I wouldn't be able to stifle the Painter ability, and it wasn't my intention to do so.

I didn't think that any card drawn that turn would change my play of double Herald, and wanted my next draw step already in hand / known to me, so I could make my decisions with the Kozilek's Commands with the most information available. It's pretty minor, but it's why I decided that sequencing.

i really think a urborg would be nice in this deck. nothing is better than a eye of ugin that can tap for mana. also helps with your ancient tombs not dealing a lot of damage, cost for dismember becomes better and when leyline of the void gets bounced, you can recast it. all tutorable by sowing when you need.

@MaxtortionMTG
@MaxtortionMTG 18 күн бұрын
@@XR_TRON the verdict is still out on Chalice, but the majority of lists are running it. I don’t believe it’s bad, but as of right now, I prefer the cards I’m running over it. It’s a little hard to reliably cast turn 1 in this list, and the combo decks are pretty well-suited toward beating it, since they combo with mostly 0s but have veil of summer. This means that if you play it on zero, they just veil and combo off, and if you set it to 1, they can ignore it. Very good against Delver when you’re on the play, but so is presenting a threat. On the draw, spending your first turn not presenting a threat feels like a way to lose the race.

I'm very confused at why at 39m49s your wastescape battlemage costs only 1 colorless and 1 blue when kicked. Shouldn't the kicker still cost 1U even if Eye of Ugin is in play?
@MaxtortionMTG
@MaxtortionMTG 20 күн бұрын
Utilizing the kicker increases the cost of the spell as it's being cast, so Eye of Ugin sees that. To break it down, the Wastescape battlemage's base cost of 1C is added to the kicker cost of 1U, creating a total cost of 2CU to kick it with the bounce mode. To cast Wastescape Battlemage with that kicker, I have to pay 2CU. Since Eye of Ugin sees the 2CU cost and reduces it by 2 (generic), I end up with CU as the cost requirement that I had to actually tap mana to pay. Let me know if that wasn't clear, since it's a definitely a bit weird.

Hey, thanks for the vid. Always appreciate more infect content. Sam Dams recorded a 4:1 league with the Nadu built. That said, both in his video and yours the bird got very limited screen time, so I'm not a 100% sold. I guess time will tell. I think boarding out glistener elf so aggressively is debatable. While the deck doesn't depend on the T2 kills and can play longer games, the fact that you can threaten it so early is huge and severly restricts your opponents play choices during the first couple of turns. This is also why I'm not a fan of the berserk-less versions - If you have two berserks and 6+ cantrips to find them, the opponent gumming up the ground is not as big of an issue. In this list, I'd probably shave the Hedge Maze (entering tapped is too much of a drawback with this deck) and maybe an Embiggen to make room for them.

I saw that video with Quicken + Unearth to beat Bowmaster triggers, which blew my mind But I don't understand the benefit of Quicken tech without Unearth. You claim 1:50 that you can Consider + Quicken and Reanimate w Bowmaster triggers on the stack, but Consider + Quicken makes 2 Bowmaster triggers and Reanimate targeting Thoracle loses you 2 life upon resolution. The outcome is the same as if you made an Edge + Edge pile, and in fact costs more life than a Consider -> hard-cast Thoracle line. (The craziest part about that Quicken + Unearth video was that they untapped at 1 life vs Bowmaster and won anyway, thanks to the loss of no life with Unearth). Am I missing a scenario where UUB + losing 2 life w Reanimate is a better line than other "typical" piles? Thanks for the video!

Great analysis and I mostly agree with what you said! Only having 1 edge is part of the issue, and is a cost of the tempo aspect here, but you’re completely right that without unearth, it isn’t a painless win here. If only Grief was 1BB (can you imagine?!) Quicken has other applications, fortunately. Instant speed reanimate is just sick in general, and it also becomes possible to end step a Doomsday (quicken, dark rit, Doomsday, for instance). (Mostly that video from m_himukai made my head explode and I threw quicken into the deck on that metric alone)
