  1. 0:00Welcome back to Byitesize Magic. My name
  2. 0:01is Zach and today we are doing a deck
  3. 0:03tech on Hasheton Scarab's Fist. This is
  4. 0:06a old commander that's seen quite a bit
  5. 0:08of a resurgence lately. It's been played
  6. 0:10in the Top Deck Invitational and it's
  7. 0:12been pioneered by Anthony or Glacial
  8. 0:14City. So, we're going to dive into what
  9. 0:16this deck does, how it wins, everything
  10. 0:18about Hashton, and let's jump right on
  11. 0:20in.
  12. 0:26Welcome back to Byitesize MTG. I'm Zach.
  13. 0:28Today I have Anthony Glacial City, the
  14. 0:31Hasheton Brewer, [music] the best
  15. 0:33performing Hasheton pilot of all time.
  16. 0:35Anthony, welcome. Super pumped to chat
  17. 0:36about this deck, your run at the
  18. 0:38Invitational.
  19. 0:38>> Great. Yeah, happy to be on. Yeah, my
  20. 0:40name is Anthony. I am the brewer of
  21. 0:44hashtton, Nivemizit, Rowan, Turtles,
  22. 0:48four mana, Troxa, and Galore. So,
  23. 0:51>> and can we not forget Thras Kaidell?
  24. 0:53>> Thras. Yes. And Thrasellas.
  25. 0:56>> And I run the Discords for them, too.
  26. 0:57So, yeah.
  27. 0:58>> Heck yeah. Yeah. So, if if any of y'all
  28. 1:00are interested in any of these decks, uh
  29. 1:02we'll have all of Anony's Discords
  30. 1:03below. You're welcome to jump in there,
  31. 1:05chat with him, chat with everyone else
  32. 1:07in there, you know, and and play some
  33. 1:08really really cool decks. But today, why
  34. 1:10don't we break down perhaps one of the
  35. 1:12most hyped commanders of all time and
  36. 1:14one of the biggest letdowns, I would
  37. 1:15say. Uh a card that everyone specked and
  38. 1:18thought was going to be insanely
  39. 1:20powerful and then did absolutely nothing
  40. 1:22until this season and really the end of
  41. 1:24the season. So why don't we just start
  42. 1:26by talking about like why you chose
  43. 1:29Hasheton, what the theory was,
  44. 1:30especially in terms of the invitational
  45. 1:33and why you felt like it was such a good
  46. 1:34pick.
  47. 1:35>> Yeah. So Hasheton was like Anakin
  48. 1:38Skywalker. It was the chosen one, you
  49. 1:40know, like everyone's like, "Oh my god,
  50. 1:42you know, like Reanimator is finally
  51. 1:44going to be good, you know, everybody
  52. 1:45like let's let's play this. It's broken.
  53. 1:48We get to play all the Esper good
  54. 1:51stuff." And I think people realize like,
  55. 1:53wait a second, Grizzle Brand is banned.
  56. 1:55Like nothing really crazy.
  57. 1:58>> Will we reanimate? [laughter]
  58. 1:59>> Yeah.
  59. 2:01>> And then like Ben Holden Pryo,
  60. 2:04>> another great brewer, he led people down
  61. 2:07this split second path
  62. 2:09>> and oh my god, too much mana. It's all
  63. 2:12that stuff. All that it's it's too much.
  64. 2:14It's we're in Esper. It is Sans Grul.
  65. 2:18And as anyone knows, uh, green and red
  66. 2:21is the mana of the format and espert
  67. 2:24does does not have that. Which leads me
  68. 2:25to why I played this. And that is I was
  69. 2:29doing a coaching session actually and it
  70. 2:31made me cuz I was talking about mana
  71. 2:33liberty.
  72. 2:34>> So when I coach people, I like to talk
  73. 2:36about uh a lot of different jargon for
  74. 2:38the game. So mana liberty is something
  75. 2:41your commander has slash deck or doesn't
  76. 2:44have, right? An example would be Kenan.
  77. 2:47Canon has mana liberty, right? And with
  78. 2:50mana liberty, with your deck making an
  79. 2:52excess amount of mana, it allows you to
  80. 2:54be able to play fluff cards. What is a
  81. 2:56fluff card? A fluff card would be like
  82. 2:58Lotus Cobra.
  83. 2:59>> It would be like Silven Library. Like
  84. 3:02these are cards that you really need to
  85. 3:03be able to play turn one, right? And
  86. 3:05then if you can't play these cards turn
  87. 3:07one, they're really awkward to to put
  88. 3:10into the deck and play at a at a later
  89. 3:12turn. But when you just have like all
  90. 3:14this mana and and cradles tapping and
  91. 3:17you know making 27 plus mana or whatever
  92. 3:20like you you can you can play a lot of
  93. 3:21like fluff cards. And so what Esper is
  94. 3:24is not any of that, right? And so it's
  95. 3:27not so when I
  96. 3:29>> Yeah. So like you're not going to see
  97. 3:30like smothering, you're not going to see
  98. 3:33flaming, you're not going to see lotho.
  99. 3:36Like I I can't play those. I can't play
  100. 3:38those turn one. Like I like I can't. And
  101. 3:40so I gave it basically the blueprint,
  102. 3:43the the non-mana liberty blueprint where
  103. 3:46every single deck, every single card
  104. 3:48choice is essentially a reflection of
  105. 3:50the lack of mana liberty. [music]
  106. 3:56And so why I played it for the
  107. 3:57invitational? Well, basically brewing
  108. 4:00with this non-existent man of liberty in
  109. 4:02mind, I thought I do not want to play
  110. 4:04without Demir. And shout out to Sylvie
  111. 4:07because we came to the same exact
  112. 4:09conclusion. Like at a minimum, I want to
  113. 4:11be able to tutor for wristic and fish. I
  114. 4:15never ended up doing that, funny enough.
  115. 4:18[laughter]
  116. 4:19>> It was it was good in all my practice,
  117. 4:22but it's a wristic fish deck. And so my
  118. 4:25thought process was this. They're going
  119. 4:27to disrespect the deck. Maybe they'll
  120. 4:28respect it. I don't I don't care because
  121. 4:30stopping hash is ex I don't want to say
  122. 4:33it's like impossible but it's incredibly
  123. 4:36incredibly difficult the way that I play
  124. 4:38it. You know, basically like I'm doing a
  125. 4:40bomb turn two and so like yeah, there's
  126. 4:42like the one two three and we'll I guess
  127. 4:44talk about that a little later.
  128. 4:46>> Yeah, we'll get into that. And and this
  129. 4:47is all seat dependent. Okay, this is all
  130. 4:49seat dependent. So I'm like I have
  131. 4:51strategies for seat one, seat two, seat
  132. 4:52three, uh seat four and I'm like bomb,
  133. 4:55right? Seeds one and two bombs coming
  134. 4:57down and then seed four I'm like I'm I'm
  135. 5:00gonna get that fish wristic esper
  136. 5:02>> and we're we're going to I'm either
  137. 5:05going to come back we're going to draw
  138. 5:06whatever I'm just not going to lose you
  139. 5:07know. Yeah. So but yeah shout out
  140. 5:08Sylvia. We came to the same conclusion
  141. 5:10about that. Yeah.
  142. 5:11>> Sylvie for those of you who don't know
  143. 5:13played Rona for this invitational. Also
  144. 5:15top 16. Really phenomenal pilot. We'll
  145. 5:17be doing a podcast as well about Rona
  146. 5:19soon. Yeah. Really top. So that's coming
  147. 5:21soon. But yeah I agree. the the Demir
  148. 5:23base tutors interaction, right? We're
  149. 5:26not relying on other people to save the
  150. 5:28day. We have counter spells and if we
  151. 5:30need to tutor, we can get any card in
  152. 5:32our deck and is hyper important in a
  153. 5:34game, especially at that top level in
  154. 5:36the invitational. I think it would be
  155. 5:37interesting to transition kind of into
  156. 5:40the list a little bit and are you okay
  157. 5:42if we go with the one two three kind of
  158. 5:45first to explain conceptually what the
  159. 5:47deck is doing and like the the curve
  160. 5:48that we're going along?
  161. 5:50>> Absolutely. Absolutely. So cool. This is
  162. 5:52this is
  163. 5:53>> Let me share my screen so I can just so
  164. 5:54people can kind of see what you're
  165. 5:55talking about.
  166. 5:56>> Oh yeah, you you control the screen. So
  167. 5:59you're going to have to be my guy. This
  168. 6:00Okay, I got you. Yeah. Yeah.
  169. 6:02>> By the way, this is this is going to be
  170. 6:04just the hasheton. What was it? Tech or
  171. 6:07whatever. This is also primer.
  172. 6:09>> Yeah, deck primer. But this is also
  173. 6:10essentially a coaching/b brewing lesson.
  174. 6:13So love it.
  175. 6:14>> I'm going to Yeah, I'm going to plug in
  176. 6:15my Vinmo. Get a refund from wherever you
  177. 6:18got coaching from. you know, unless it's
  178. 6:20Zach, you know, then you're good.
  179. 6:21[laughter]
  180. 6:23>> No, I I I've learned quite a bit from
  181. 6:25Anthony. The most recent like CDH
  182. 6:27lecture I did heavily inspired by
  183. 6:29Anthony. All the micro and macro
  184. 6:30concepts are are his uh that I borrowed
  185. 6:33and talked about. So, I'm I'm excited to
  186. 6:35learn. Oh, can we I learned this from
  187. 6:37comedian. Shout out to comedian up. Can
  188. 6:39we change the mana value to Yeah, there
  189. 6:42we go. Perfect. Yeah, that's it's so
  190. 6:45much better cuz it's
  191. 6:51And it it works really well, right, with
  192. 6:53the concept of the deck. So talk to me
  193. 6:54about like Hasheton in one, two, and
  194. 6:56three.
  195. 6:56>> Yeah. Okay. So every single Hasheton
  196. 6:59build was bad period and
  197. 7:02>> every and you could not watch a single
  198. 7:04video and and and you know there's a lot
  199. 7:07of like casual influence unfortunately
  200. 7:09that I think affected this brilliant
  201. 7:11commander here who who is broken.
  202. 7:14And so they were like psychic frog,
  203. 7:16psychic frog, psychic frog, frantic
  204. 7:18search, frantic search, you know.
  205. 7:20>> Smithering tithe, smothering tie,
  206. 7:22>> smithering tithe, smothering tithe,
  207. 7:24right? And it's like that's mana, mana,
  208. 7:25mana, mana, mana, and I don't have it,
  209. 7:28you know? So, so yeah. So, what I did
  210. 7:30was zero to one mana discard outlets,
  211. 7:33right? So, that if you play like Grand
  212. 7:35Cracked, by the way,
  213. 7:36>> so cracked
  214. 7:37>> Hless Researcher, not the best, but
  215. 7:39still it's blue and it's not dead if you
  216. 7:41draw it later. And we'll talk about that
  217. 7:43as well. Putrid impostable, tireless
  218. 7:46tribe. Obviously, Tireless Tribe and
  219. 7:47Putrid Imp are the best because they're
  220. 7:49the only discard outlets that are
  221. 7:50essentially infinite. That's just like
  222. 7:52And then if I could replace all of the
  223. 7:54Discord outlets with those, I would. But
  224. 7:56we'll see. Watsi. So yeah. So you go
  225. 7:58play the one turn one,
  226. 8:00>> you know, I love these plans. I built
  227. 8:01Rowan. I love these plans. Turn one, you
  228. 8:02play the discard outlet. Turn two, you
  229. 8:04play the hashton. And turn three, play
  230. 8:06that third mana source, and you drop the
  231. 8:08bomb.
  232. 8:09>> So yeah. Yeah. And usually the bomb is
  233. 8:11like a a bomb. It's not Grizzle Brand
  234. 8:13and they're not just going to lose the
  235. 8:14game.
  236. 8:15>> It could be Jen Taxis, which is the
  237. 8:17deck's best bomb and then you're in
  238. 8:19threat of losing the game. Uh but
  239. 8:21besides that, everything else is like
  240. 8:23playable. And then remind me also talk
  241. 8:26about why I have the bomb choices as
  242. 8:28well.
  243. 8:28>> Yeah, that's that's that's the game
  244. 8:30plan.
  245. 8:30>> Yeah. So like Anthony saying, turn one,
  246. 8:33we're looking again dependent on seed
  247. 8:35order, but turn one we're looking for
  248. 8:36these one mana discard outlets. There's
  249. 8:37quite a few in the deck. There's all
  250. 8:39these creatures. There's also these
  251. 8:40artifacts, the underworld cookbook and
  252. 8:42blood uh bloodthorn flail. Those are
  253. 8:44phenomenal as well. Let's not forget
  254. 8:46some other cheeky discard outlets that
  255. 8:48we'll get into later, i.e. foil unmask
  256. 8:51as well. Free discard outlet. And then
  257. 8:53turn two, we play our commander because
  258. 8:55we're in blue. We're not just losing the
  259. 8:57game. Like you have a plethora of free
  260. 8:59interaction to survive. And then that
  261. 9:01turn three is when you're getting the
  262. 9:03bombs. So, I think there's also a
  263. 9:04distinction to be made between bombs and
  264. 9:06the other part of this deck that is, I
  265. 9:08would say, pretty much unseen in my
  266. 9:10opinion, which is the rule of law
  267. 9:12effects. I think these kind of deserve a
  268. 9:14special conversation talking about why
  269. 9:16you saw these as being so impactful in
  270. 9:18this game plan. So, maybe we talk about
  271. 9:20your theory on rule of law, why you
  272. 9:22decided to play it in this deck, and
  273. 9:23then we can get into bomb choices and
  274. 9:25what you're kind of looking for
  275. 9:26dependent on what game you're kind of
  276. 9:28playing.
  277. 9:28>> Abs. Absolutely. Yeah. So just just to
  278. 9:31clarify
  279. 9:32>> the discard outlets also you know it's
  280. 9:35the same ruin logic that VV borrowed but
  281. 9:38it it is discard outlets and path to
  282. 9:40discard outlets
  283. 9:41>> right so you may see like the four five
  284. 9:44rate discard outlets right there but
  285. 9:46that you also need to include vampiric
  286. 9:47tutor scheming etc. Yeah. So, going to
  287. 9:50the rule of laws though to answer your
  288. 9:52question.
  289. 9:53>> Yeah. I'm I hate stacks. So, that's just
  290. 9:56like [laughter]
  291. 9:57>> I I do like stacks. I don't think stacks
  292. 9:59is like very good. I'm not a believer in
  293. 10:03cards like cursed totem or Drana like
  294. 10:06Lvala. Like those get popped and then
  295. 10:08they car and then they carry on. They
  296. 10:09win the game. Let's just get that just,
  297. 10:11you know, out there. But in Esper,
  298. 10:13right, we lack the mana. We're not as
  299. 10:15fast as other decks. And then this is
  300. 10:18not like, hey, let me just stack a bunch
  301. 10:20of stacks pieces so that I can basically
  302. 10:22do whatever I want and play like a
  303. 10:24three-hour game and like win the game.
  304. 10:26This this this deck does win fast. And
  305. 10:28what the rule laws are, how should I put
  306. 10:30it? It is a counter to the meta. It is a
  307. 10:32counter to ristic studies. This is a
  308. 10:34counter to turbo decks. It is a counter
  309. 10:36to everything honestly. And this deck in
  310. 10:39particular does a great job of actually
  311. 10:42playing with them unlike a bunch of
  312. 10:44other fake decks who don't, right? like
  313. 10:46I don't have to cast a bunch of cards.
  314. 10:49Like I will just keep discarding, drop
  315. 10:51bomb, discarding, drop bomb, discarding,
  316. 10:53drop bomb, and the game will end very
  317. 10:55quickly, right? Yeah.
  318. 10:56>> And so one thing I guess I'll talk about
  319. 10:58as well in addition to like rule of law
  320. 11:00is that when I view a deck, right, for
  321. 11:03any deck and my opponent's deck, all
  322. 11:05these cards have a number on them,
  323. 11:07right? And that number is time, right?
  324. 11:11So when I play a rule of law, I
  325. 11:14essentially gain back 20 minutes of time
  326. 11:17back into the clock because I've now
  327. 11:19limited everyone's game actions and I'm
  328. 11:21essentially still playing at the same
  329. 11:23exact, you know, axis. So something
  330. 11:25we'll probably talk about again, but
  331. 11:27yeah, rule laws important. They're also
  332. 11:29flash speed silence as well. So it's
  333. 11:32like if you can flash them in, you know,
  334. 11:34they play breach, put that in, it's
  335. 11:35over. So it's nice.
  336. 11:37>> Yeah. Yeah, it's really really cool. So
  337. 11:38interesting too to say like these
  338. 11:40actually speed up the hashton game plan,
  339. 11:43right? Because like you're saying
  340. 11:45because having your opponents and you
  341. 11:47only be able to cast one spell per turn,
  342. 11:48it means that you are going to be able
  343. 11:50to drop a bomb every single turn. As
  344. 11:52soon as you get six mana, you're
  345. 11:53dropping double bombs. This is all at
  346. 11:55flash speed. Similar to the idea of tyen
  347. 11:57where you can have rule of laws and you
  348. 12:00play through them super well because
  349. 12:01you're really not casting that many
  350. 12:02spells. So I do like that they're
  351. 12:04actually a way to increase the pace of
  352. 12:06the game. you decrease the amount of
  353. 12:08game actions your opponents are taking
  354. 12:09like you said. Also importantly, you
  355. 12:11decrease the amount of talking that goes
  356. 12:12on. There's not so much discussion over
  357. 12:14every spell that's cast. It's like you
  358. 12:16cast your one spell for turn and that's
  359. 12:18it. Uh did you find that you were
  360. 12:20playing a lot of Rule of Law in the
  361. 12:21invitational? Did you like land these
  362. 12:23pieces consistently?
  363. 12:24>> My testing for the deck has been all
  364. 12:26over the place, which is an amazing
  365. 12:28thing.
  366. 12:28>> Mhm.
  367. 12:28>> Like I could go like a whole testing
  368. 12:31session and never see a rule of law. I
  369. 12:33was under the belief that like if I saw
  370. 12:35a rule of law like I just won the game
  371. 12:38>> and and I I had a stream game which is
  372. 12:41easily looked up through critical EDH uh
  373. 12:44who covered the event day one and two
  374. 12:46but day one in particular if you're
  375. 12:48looking for my video like I top deck the
  376. 12:50two mana rule of law and like you could
  377. 12:54see basically what I'm cooking with
  378. 12:56right and if I wasn't playing against
  379. 12:58two judges who were playing extremely
  380. 13:00slow and asking how to play. I should
  381. 13:04have called a judge. Call a judge. Call
  382. 13:05a judge, guys. We have a video about
  383. 13:06this. Call a judge.
  384. 13:06>> Call a judge.
  385. 13:07>> Um, call a judge.
  386. 13:08>> Yeah. Like if if we just actually just
  387. 13:11get through, you know, like the turns. I
  388. 13:13dominate that game. And you can see
  389. 13:16basically everything that I'm saying
  390. 13:17translates. I just was pure in execution
  391. 13:20of calling it calling a a a judge. I
  392. 13:23don't know. I
  393. 13:24>> Yeah. Yeah.
  394. 13:29>> Yeah. So, the rule of laws have quite a
  395. 13:30bit of play in this deck. Uh you're on
  396. 13:33four right now, right? Yeah. Aethersworn
  397. 13:35Canon, Fraxian Sensor, Eylon of
  398. 13:37Rhetoric, and Archon of Ameria. Like you
  399. 13:39said, also really phenomenal at just
  400. 13:40silencing your opponents. And with
  401. 13:42Hashton's ability, they're all able to
  402. 13:43be play at flash speed. So you can set
  403. 13:45up turns where you're like turn one, you
  404. 13:47know, putm turn two hash. And then turn
  405. 13:49three, you just sit and you wait. And
  406. 13:51then someone pushes and you're like,
  407. 13:52"All right, here's a hashton activation.
  408. 13:54This is a rule of law." And it's it's
  409. 13:56quite difficult to stop. Aside from
  410. 13:58stifle, trickbind, that's really all
  411. 14:00that you can do to say no to hashaton.
  412. 14:02Things like graph diggers's cage, you
  413. 14:04know,
  414. 14:05>> I got the soul cauldron.
  415. 14:06>> I got the soul cauldron. Yeah. Do not
  416. 14:08work.
  417. 14:09>> No.
  418. 14:09>> So, stop doing it. Doesn't work. Please
  419. 14:12stop.
  420. 14:12>> Yeah.
  421. 14:13>> Um, [laughter]
  422. 14:16>> why don't we talk about some of these
  423. 14:17bombs, though? And and some of these
  424. 14:19bombs are not necessarily bomb bombs.
  425. 14:21Like, we have Poliwog Prodigy. Huge
  426. 14:23amount of card draw when it's a four.
  427. 14:25every non-creature spell that is what is
  428. 14:27it? Three or less mana versus everything
  429. 14:29in the game.
  430. 14:30>> Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Every every most
  431. 14:32most most CDH stable spells you're
  432. 14:33drawing cards. Do you want to kind of go
  433. 14:35through these in a specific order or do
  434. 14:36we want to just go through them in the
  435. 14:37deck list as they appear?
  436. 14:39>> Yeah, let's just go through them real
  437. 14:40quick. So, Esper sentel could be a 44
  438. 14:42bomb, you know, and then like Yeah, 44
  439. 14:45Esper. No one's paying for that.
  440. 14:47>> Not paying for that.
  441. 14:48>> No one's paying for that. Uh Polywalk
  442. 14:50Prody Bomb. skipping over the uh I'll
  443. 14:53talk about double bombing turn three
  444. 14:57>> maybe later but like a rule of law is
  445. 14:59like probably the best thing you can
  446. 15:01double bomb with turn three how you
  447. 15:03double bomb we'll talk about that I
  448. 15:05guess later glory is not a bomb glory is
  449. 15:09yeah we have to we pull up this one
  450. 15:13[laughter]
  451. 15:13>> one of the one of the coolest cards in
  452. 15:15CdH for those of you that don't know
  453. 15:17Gloria's three white white incarnation
  454. 15:21creature it has flying. It's a three
  455. 15:23three that has an activated ability. It
  456. 15:25says two and a white choose a color
  457. 15:26creatures you control gain protection
  458. 15:27from the chosen color until end of turn.
  459. 15:29Activate only if this card is in your
  460. 15:31graveyard. Right? So pretty unplayable
  461. 15:33for most decks. This is in the same
  462. 15:36cycle of like anger and I believe wonder
  463. 15:38I think that gives creatures flying. But
  464. 15:40you need to put this in your yard and
  465. 15:41then you just have to pay this three
  466. 15:42mana and you can do this as many times
  467. 15:44as you'd like and you essentially just
  468. 15:46give all of your creatures protection.
  469. 15:48Put someone on Chain of Vapors. You're
  470. 15:49like, "All right, discard glory.
  471. 15:51Activate glory. Three mana. Boom. All my
  472. 15:53creatures are pro blue."
  473. 15:54>> Yeah. Can you Can you repeat once again
  474. 15:56where you activate the ability from?
  475. 15:58Activate only if this card is in your
  476. 16:01graveyard. In the graveyard.
  477. 16:03>> Mhm.
  478. 16:04>> So, it's forever.
  479. 16:05>> Yeah. That's just nuts. Yeah. It's like
  480. 16:07you have to endurance me basically to
  481. 16:09get this out of the yard and and stop
  482. 16:12from being impactful on the board. Yeah.
  483. 16:14Super duper hard to stop. Right. Very
  484. 16:16very difficult. It's essentially saying
  485. 16:18you're going to need double removal if
  486. 16:19you want to get through.
  487. 16:20>> Correct. Really really cool card. Yeah.
  488. 16:22Modok card that I think has not seen
  489. 16:25enough play. I I think this card is just
  490. 16:27phenomenal. I imagine I'm I'm curious
  491. 16:29like in testing and in Envy like how
  492. 16:31this card worked for you if you felt
  493. 16:33like it was pulling its weight.
  494. 16:34>> Yeah, it it definitely just can win the
  495. 16:36game by itself. It has lifelink flying
  496. 16:39for whatever reason. Um, it's its own
  497. 16:42discard outlet. And you actually showed
  498. 16:44me something when me for when I first
  499. 16:46played against dude. You're like, you
  500. 16:47can, you know, like get the lands. I
  501. 16:49forgot exactly what it was, but it was
  502. 16:50like u you're like, yeah, keep digging,
  503. 16:52play the land, and then once you play
  504. 16:54the land, it doesn't matter that you
  505. 16:56have no cards in hand because it's just
  506. 16:58you're just going to discard it anyway.
  507. 16:59And it's like
  508. 17:00>> light bulb, you know?
  509. 17:02>> So yeah, it it it has the minus one for
  510. 17:06creatures.
  511. 17:07>> Insane,
  512. 17:08>> which is insane. Yeah, it'll it'll wipe
  513. 17:10all the Thorks away, all the Esperinals
  514. 17:12away, all the Ragavans away, all the
  515. 17:13flying ragavans and flying espressos.
  516. 17:15>> Completely destroys Thoras like Thrasius
  517. 17:18just ceases to exist in the game as soon
  518. 17:20as this card lands.
  519. 17:21>> Yeah, a Boro Breeze caller.
  520. 17:22>> Yeah.
  521. 17:23>> Where you at?
  522. 17:23>> Yeah. [laughter] But yeah,
  523. 17:26>> it gets big. It gets big quick, too.
  524. 17:28>> Yeah, cuz it starts as a four.
  525. 17:30>> Yeah, you could you could swing kill
  526. 17:31people, but gas. Solitude and subtlety
  527. 17:35both I suppose able to be bombs but also
  528. 17:39just being able to pitch cast these
  529. 17:40spells is is quite phenomenal. The fact
  530. 17:42that you can also just discard a
  531. 17:43subtlety and subtlety a creature without
  532. 17:46even putting this spell on the stack is
  533. 17:47nuts. I I think that's phenomenal. So
  534. 17:49you have I'd say interaction slots in
  535. 17:51these also able to be bombs, but I'm
  536. 17:54sure more often than not you'd like to
  537. 17:55just evoke them.
  538. 17:56>> Correct. Correct. So I have a rule for
  539. 17:58bombs. My rule for bombs is like
  540. 18:01exceptions to consecrated sphinx. my
  541. 18:02least favorite bomb, by the way.
  542. 18:04>> Mhm.
  543. 18:04>> I I don't want to play bombs that can be
  544. 18:07cloned and essentially I lose the game.
  545. 18:09>> Yeah.
  546. 18:10>> And I don't want to which is solitude.
  547. 18:12>> That's not something I normally want to
  548. 18:16like I just want to evoke it, you know?
  549. 18:18>> Yeah.
  550. 18:18>> So, but yeah, that that's the rule is
  551. 18:20like they got to be able to be cloned
  552. 18:22and I'm not like devastated that they've
  553. 18:24that they've cloned it essentially.
  554. 18:26Makes sense. And if I have played
  555. 18:27something that could be cloned like
  556. 18:29Razakth, you're probably just losing the
  557. 18:32game anyway. Hopefully.
  558. 18:33>> Yeah.
  559. 18:33>> Mhm. Yeah. Yeah. Razicth really being a
  560. 18:36finisher in this deck more than like a
  561. 18:38I'm going to value Razaketh. Right.
  562. 18:41>> Right. Yeah. There's there's no there is
  563. 18:42no there is no value Razaketh. So
  564. 18:44>> yeah. [laughter] Yeah.
  565. 18:46>> Yeah. We have Tefairy. Phenomenal. being
  566. 18:49able to like essentially silence your
  567. 18:52opponents or make them play at sorcery
  568. 18:53speed and being able to play at flash
  569. 18:55speed yourself. Sea Sphinx obviously
  570. 18:57being quite quite powerful, but like you
  571. 18:59said, and I've seen a game, right, where
  572. 19:01you you hashed this into play, it got
  573. 19:03cloned, the game exploded, you know, so
  574. 19:05playing this with a lot of care is
  575. 19:07really really important.
  576. 19:08>> Yeah. Yeah. I hate that card. [laughter]
  577. 19:12>> Sire of stagnation. This is four blue
  578. 19:14black for a 57. It's devoid. Whenever a
  579. 19:17land enters the battlefield under an
  580. 19:18opponent's control, that player exiles
  581. 19:20the top two cards of his or her library,
  582. 19:22and you draw two cards. So, stripping
  583. 19:25resources from your opponents, drawing
  584. 19:27cards every time lands are played. It's
  585. 19:28not even played, but lands entering. So,
  586. 19:30when you fetch, I draw four cards, and
  587. 19:33you exile four cards from top of your
  588. 19:34library. Gone forever.
  589. 19:35>> Yeah. Fascio. Yeah.
  590. 19:37>> Yeah. [laughter] Really, really, really
  591. 19:39cool card. Sun Titan being something I
  592. 19:42haven't seen since I played Casual EDH a
  593. 19:44few years ago, but being able to enter
  594. 19:46and attack return a permanent card with
  595. 19:49converted mana cost real estate to the
  596. 19:51battlefield. So essentially Savine's
  597. 19:53Reclamation on a stick, right, that's
  598. 19:56whenever you attack. What's kind of the
  599. 19:57thought process around this card?
  600. 19:58Sunshine is is Oh boy. Uh is amazing.
  601. 20:01[laughter]
  602. 20:02>> Yeah, it gets back LED. So you can like
  603. 20:05crack LED some Titan sometimes back LED
  604. 20:08recrack LED get back whatever bomb that
  605. 20:10you actually wanted gets back rule of
  606. 20:12law helps you double rule of law gets
  607. 20:13back a land like and so that's like kind
  608. 20:16of like your fake ramp as well.
  609. 20:18>> Yeah. And he and he has colors so he can
  610. 20:20be pitched to solitude which is like
  611. 20:23>> I'm I'm really big about being able to
  612. 20:25pitch dead cards from your hands which
  613. 20:27is why like you'll see like currently on
  614. 20:28the bottom left it's 97. void winter
  615. 20:31where it was in but I just really hate
  616. 20:33that it's colorless.
  617. 20:34>> Yeah.
  618. 20:34>> So, we'll talk about that later. But
  619. 20:35yeah.
  620. 20:36>> Yeah,
  621. 20:36>> Sun Titan is amazing and it and it gets
  622. 20:38back fish and wristic, too. So, if you
  623. 20:40have like those in hand, crack, lose
  624. 20:42your whole hand, get back the fish and
  625. 20:43wristic happens a lot. That's pretty
  626. 20:44sick. Yeah. So, you can go into a play
  627. 20:46pattern where it's turn one, you know,
  628. 20:48vamp tutor for LED, turn two, hashtton
  629. 20:50LED, sun Titan, crack the LED, get the
  630. 20:53wristic back that's in your hand, and
  631. 20:55then next turn you're just getting back
  632. 20:56the LED. You're drawing a bunch of cards
  633. 20:58off the wristic study. really really
  634. 21:00cool to have this in the deck as as a
  635. 21:02tech piece. Next is Doc O or Dr. Octopus
  636. 21:05Master Planner. Five blue black for 48.
  637. 21:08Other villains you control get plus two
  638. 21:09plus two. I think only Modok is another
  639. 21:12villain. I'm not sure if there's more.
  640. 21:14Yeah, but that's kind of fun. Your
  641. 21:16maximum hand size is eight at the
  642. 21:18beginning of your end step. If you have
  643. 21:19fewer than eight cards in hands, draw
  644. 21:21cards equal to the difference. So, I
  645. 21:23mean, wow, what a what a great card to
  646. 21:25have on turn two with an LED, right?
  647. 21:27just im immediately refill your hand, be
  648. 21:29able to, you know, get all the counter
  649. 21:30spells that you would need to survive,
  650. 21:32go to your next turn, draw up to eight
  651. 21:34again, right? Like really really cool to
  652. 21:36have this in the deck. And I I this is
  653. 21:39one of my more favorite bombs in the
  654. 21:41deck. It's kind of like the string taxis
  655. 21:43without the downside for your opponents.
  656. 21:44>> Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. You just you
  657. 21:47just want to It's It's one of those
  658. 21:48great LED cracks.
  659. 21:50>> We fill your whole hand back to eights.
  660. 21:52Um, it probably will only happen once
  661. 21:54unless you have like petri damp, but
  662. 21:55it's a it's great. It's all you need.
  663. 21:57>> Yeah, it's sweet. Ellisnorn inferexian
  664. 22:00for any of those who have not played
  665. 22:01against Ellishnorn. This is five white
  666. 22:03white for a 47. Vigilance's other
  667. 22:05creatures you control get plus two plus
  668. 22:06two. So, it's going to create the beats
  669. 22:07plan that is is quite good in this deck.
  670. 22:09And then creatures your opponents
  671. 22:10control get minus two minus two. So, we
  672. 22:12have another effect that just hoses
  673. 22:14every creature deck. Magda, Arkham,
  674. 22:16Thracios, Kinnan, Timna, like Ellisnorn
  675. 22:19pretty much invalidates every deck in
  676. 22:21the format, you know, not literally
  677. 22:23every deck, but most decks. It's really
  678. 22:25hard to play through an Elishnorn. So,
  679. 22:27just having this at instant speed is
  680. 22:29pretty insane.
  681. 22:29>> Yeah, if I could play three of them,
  682. 22:31three more, I I probably would.
  683. 22:33>> Yeah. [laughter]
  684. 22:34Yeah. Yeah. That's hot. Nezahal just
  685. 22:36being a phenomenal card draw outlet.
  686. 22:38Just another Mystic Remora essentially.
  687. 22:40Ori plates sacker. This is a new one
  688. 22:41that I haven't seen yet. Uh, this is
  689. 22:43five white for a three legendary
  690. 22:46creature dwarf bard. When AI enters,
  691. 22:48destroy all artifacts and enchantments
  692. 22:49your opponent's control. You gain one
  693. 22:50life for each permanent destroyed this
  694. 22:52way. So, basically just saying we're not
  695. 22:54playing slop anymore. You have entered
  696. 22:56the dark age. Uh, be very afraid. Yeah,
  697. 22:58the game is not going to draw. And that
  698. 23:00was the whole point of playing Hasheton
  699. 23:01is like I Yeah, it was it was just to
  700. 23:04break parody on draws. And this this
  701. 23:06card says, oh, you have, you know, 100
  702. 23:09mana from your smothering. No more. No
  703. 23:12more.
  704. 23:13>> It is gone. And your smothering tide is
  705. 23:16also gone.
  706. 23:17>> Yeah. So, this is really, really cool.
  707. 23:19Yeah. Another card I'm curious about is
  708. 23:21is Runescar Demon. We've talked a little
  709. 23:22bit about this. Essentially, this is a
  710. 23:25uh demonic tutor.
  711. 23:26>> Yeah.
  712. 23:26>> On a creature.
  713. 23:27>> Yeah. Instant speed.
  714. 23:27>> Instant speed demonic tutor. Another
  715. 23:29card that says, "I'm not losing this
  716. 23:30game, right? I'm going to discard this.
  717. 23:32I'm going to find a force of will. I'm
  718. 23:33going to discard this. I'm going to find
  719. 23:34whatever piece I need that will stop the
  720. 23:37current win or advantage state that's
  721. 23:39going on right now."
  722. 23:40>> Yeah. it when I use it. People ask like
  723. 23:43usually the two things I get is Tefairy
  724. 23:45and Rasa. That's like
  725. 23:48>> that's like usually the main two things
  726. 23:50it it gets instant speed cuz I'm usually
  727. 23:52trying to win like instant speed. So
  728. 23:54>> yeah, and we'll we'll go into winning
  729. 23:56with this deck as well cuz it's turning
  730. 23:58the corner isn't it's not easy and and
  731. 24:00going through the whole Razicth line is
  732. 24:01something that I think people will find
  733. 24:03really valuable.
  734. 24:04>> Another new one that I haven't seen
  735. 24:05before is Baleful Force. uh
  736. 24:07[clears throat] beginning of each
  737. 24:08upkeep, you draw a card and lose a life.
  738. 24:11So, this is essentially saying the turn
  739. 24:12I play it, I'm going to draw three cards
  740. 24:14and then every turn after I draw four
  741. 24:16cards per turn cycle. So, I think from
  742. 24:18my perspective, this doesn't seem like
  743. 24:20uber uber powerful, but it's really not
  744. 24:22bad. Four cards a turn is is never bad.
  745. 24:25Did you kind of just find this and say,
  746. 24:26"Hey, let's put another card draw effect
  747. 24:28in this deck."
  748. 24:29>> No, this card is better than consecrated
  749. 24:30sphinx. It is like [laughter]
  750. 24:32it is like fair consecrated sphinx. No
  751. 24:34one cares about it. People aren't
  752. 24:36freaking out. People are not freaking
  753. 24:38out. And this card helped me win a game
  754. 24:43where Consecrated Sphinx wouldn't like
  755. 24:45in my invitational match when I played
  756. 24:47against Sterling, Little Flips, Jason,
  757. 24:50TNK. Yeah, that pot. So yeah, it was it
  758. 24:54drawing that extra card in my upkeep.
  759. 24:57Clutch.
  760. 24:58>> That's how you Yeah. Hell yeah. Razicth
  761. 25:00again card that we do not see in CDH
  762. 25:02almost at all. Five black black for an
  763. 25:0588 flying trample legendary creature
  764. 25:07demon. Pay two life. Sacrifice another
  765. 25:09creature. Search your library for a
  766. 25:10card. Put that card into your hand then
  767. 25:13shuffle. So essentially repeatable
  768. 25:15demonic tutor for as many creatures as
  769. 25:17you have and as much two life as you'd
  770. 25:19like to pay. This is how you're winning
  771. 25:21the game a lot of the time if I'm if I'm
  772. 25:23right on that. And I think maybe once we
  773. 25:25go through some of the other cards in
  774. 25:27this deck. Again, aside from the
  775. 25:29creature suite, a lot of this is
  776. 25:30relatively self-explanatory, so it
  777. 25:32doesn't need to take too too much time.
  778. 25:33We'll go through how Razicth works and
  779. 25:35how you really win with this card and
  780. 25:37when you win with this card, right?
  781. 25:39>> Yeah. The window of opportunity.
  782. 25:40>> Yeah.
  783. 25:41>> Yeah. It it also sacks the rule of law.
  784. 25:43So, when you're done playing with the
  785. 25:45rule of laws, then you're like, it's
  786. 25:47time to win.
  787. 25:48>> Yeah. And I'm also not casting the
  788. 25:50spell, so [laughter]
  789. 25:52>> it's just coming into play. This is
  790. 25:53coming into play. So yeah, it's hot.
  791. 25:55>> Yeah.
  792. 25:56>> Villis five black black legendary
  793. 25:58creature demon 88 with flying black. Pay
  794. 26:01two life. Target creature gets minus one
  795. 26:02minus one until end of turn. Whenever
  796. 26:04you lose life, draw that many cards.
  797. 26:06>> Yeah. Really crazy card draw. Amazing
  798. 26:09spot removal, right?
  799. 26:10>> Yeah. He's technically like the second
  800. 26:13or third best bomb in the deck. And if
  801. 26:16if if you if you land because removing
  802. 26:18creatures and drawing cards at the same
  803. 26:20time is like it it is backbreaking game
  804. 26:22ending. But if if you can play the bills
  805. 26:25correctly, it will win you the game or
  806. 26:28it'll kill you. But [laughter]
  807. 26:32>> it's it's just too powerful not not to
  808. 26:35play. And uh it's so great too cuz it's
  809. 26:38like swing at me, swing at me, draw
  810. 26:40cards. Like yes, great.
  811. 26:41>> Well, I'll I'll take the Tim D.
  812. 26:44[laughter] I promise. I won't block. I
  813. 26:46won't block. Oh, it's so funny. The one
  814. 26:49thing I have a question about in regards
  815. 26:50to manner liberty is this doesn't quite
  816. 26:52line up with the linear progression of
  817. 26:56one, two, three, right, where turn one
  818. 26:57we have our discount outlet, turn two we
  819. 26:59have our hasheton, and turn three we
  820. 27:00have our our our bomb, right? Cuz it's
  821. 27:02like turn three I'm discarding Villis.
  822. 27:04I'm using the three lands that I have uh
  823. 27:06and curved out on and I'm not able to
  824. 27:07access this the turn that I drop the
  825. 27:10bomb. So, how does that work with that
  826. 27:12concept of mana liberty we talked about
  827. 27:14earlier?
  828. 27:14>> Yeah, it doesn't. But if you look at the
  829. 27:16land base, there's a lot of lands like
  830. 27:19I'm not I'm not playing the if you have
  831. 27:22two other opponents, those are replaced
  832. 27:24with the Yeah, those ones. So, you know,
  833. 27:27a little bit of some row second in there
  834. 27:29like
  835. 27:30>> you got ways to lose life in this deck.
  836. 27:32So, you will you will be drawing cards
  837. 27:34without having to be able to use his
  838. 27:36ability.
  839. 27:37>> So,
  840. 27:38>> okay. Valgoth terror eater. Again, I'm
  841. 27:41sure many people have never seen this
  842. 27:43card before. This is six black, black,
  843. 27:45black for a 99 legendary creature, elder
  844. 27:48demon with flying and lifelink ward.
  845. 27:50Sacrifice three non-line permanence.
  846. 27:52You're never removing this thing. Uh if
  847. 27:54you are, you're just completely
  848. 27:55stripping yourself of everything you
  849. 27:56could want.
  850. 27:56>> Do that. If a card Yeah. If a card you
  851. 27:59don't control would be put into an
  852. 28:00opponent's graveyard from anywhere,
  853. 28:02exile instead. During your turn, you may
  854. 28:04play cards exile with Valgoth. If you
  855. 28:07have if you cast a spell this way, pay
  856. 28:10life equal to the mana value rather than
  857. 28:12pay its mana cost. So just kind of like
  858. 28:14a crazy dowy void walker, right? This is
  859. 28:16like dowy on mega steroids. And it
  860. 28:19synergizes again with the the next bomb
  861. 28:21we'll talk about which is Jingga Taxis
  862. 28:23where it's like if I can go back to back
  863. 28:25with these two. You all discard your
  864. 28:27hands. I get to play all of these
  865. 28:29spells. I'm 100% winning the game.
  866. 28:31>> Yeah. [music]
  867. 28:35I I guess I guess we'll talk about the
  868. 28:37the play pattern a little bit. So like
  869. 28:39>> Yeah.
  870. 28:40>> I mean it's those last four cards are
  871. 28:43probably like the best bombs like
  872. 28:45>> Yeah. The one two Yeah.
  873. 28:47>> So when you play hash, right, you can
  874. 28:50turn one tutor for let's say LED, which
  875. 28:53is like probably one of my favorite
  876. 28:54things you could do with the deck.
  877. 28:56>> And then turn two you play hash,
  878. 28:58>> right? And so you could immediately
  879. 29:00instantly crack it and then play out
  880. 29:02your bomb. Mhm.
  881. 29:04>> But this is where like the skill part
  882. 29:05comes in and it's like, do I want to
  883. 29:09wait another turn so I can double bomb,
  884. 29:12right? Or do I need the card draw now?
  885. 29:14>> Right. So timing is huge.
  886. 29:16>> Mhm.
  887. 29:16>> And if you think about it too, right,
  888. 29:18it's like
  889. 29:19>> LED comes in and then hash comes in.
  890. 29:22>> Mhm.
  891. 29:22>> So if there is like removal, there's no
  892. 29:24real good point to cast it.
  893. 29:26>> Sure.
  894. 29:27>> Yeah.
  895. 29:27>> Yeah. And that's uh going back to like
  896. 29:30the Jason game for example. Mhm.
  897. 29:32>> I had Villis, Voidwinter, Valkaboth
  898. 29:35>> as like my three bomb choices. Oh, or
  899. 29:38no, sorry, not Villis. Uh, Baleful
  900. 29:40Force.
  901. 29:42>> Yeah, a B. Yeah, Baleful Force. And so I
  902. 29:44was like, I'm going to wait turn three
  903. 29:49and play my third mana source so I have
  904. 29:51six mana. So when I discard everything,
  905. 29:53I can double bomb. Yeah. Oh. Oh, and I
  906. 29:54had like force of will as well. So, my
  907. 29:56my hand was super cracked.
  908. 29:57>> Luckily, Jason finally sent it. I
  909. 30:00finally got cuz I waited. I missed out
  910. 30:01on a lot of draw. Like all the bailful
  911. 30:03force draws I could have I could have
  912. 30:05received. I missed out on all of them
  913. 30:06just in hopes I could catch Jason going
  914. 30:08for it cuz all in our game that's I mean
  915. 30:11that's what he does. He likes to go for
  916. 30:12it. So I'm like I'm going to catch him.
  917. 30:13And I did. I caught him. So I forcal
  918. 30:15willed his Adnazium held priority
  919. 30:17cracked LED. So the adnauseium went
  920. 30:19under the vagaboth and then I adnauseium
  921. 30:23I had bale force and vagaboth. Baleful
  922. 30:25force got me like fluster storm.
  923. 30:27>> I adnauseium and dark ritual in my turn
  924. 30:31and fluster stormed away all the counter
  925. 30:33magic and won the game.
  926. 30:34>> Nice. Yeah,
  927. 30:35>> adnauseium in this deck is a bold
  928. 30:38decision. I would say [laughter]
  929. 30:41is bold like seven seven [laughter] n 11
  930. 30:46I'm dead.
  931. 30:47Yeah, I went to four health and was
  932. 30:49like, I have to I have to stop there.
  933. 30:51>> I think I [laughter] have to stop.
  934. 30:54>> Yeah, that's funny. Yeah, but you were
  935. 30:56able to convert the nause, right? Where?
  936. 30:58And I'm get kind of curious like what
  937. 30:59that looked like post nause at four
  938. 31:01life. Like how did you say, "Okay, I'm
  939. 31:03converting here now."
  940. 31:04>> Uh I prayed to grasp I prayed his grasp
  941. 31:06Jason's deck. I just played with his
  942. 31:08deck for the rest of that game.
  943. 31:10>> Interesting.
  944. 31:11>> Okay, very cool.
  945. 31:12>> Yeah, I used all his cards to win.
  946. 31:15>> [laughter]
  947. 31:15[gasps]
  948. 31:16>> It's a team win right there.
  949. 31:17>> Yeah.
  950. 31:18>> Thanks, coach.
  951. 31:20>> Yeah.
  952. 31:24>> And our last bomb that you were talking
  953. 31:26about, you know, and this is really a
  954. 31:28back breaker because it's so accessible
  955. 31:30on turn two. And this is Jingax's core
  956. 31:32augur. Eight blue blue legendary
  957. 31:34creature Forexium prader has flash. I
  958. 31:36don't know why. And it's a 5-4. The
  959. 31:38beginning of your end step, draw seven
  960. 31:40cards. Each opponent's maximum hand size
  961. 31:42is reduced by seven. Essentially, this
  962. 31:44is saying on turn two, and I'm imagining
  963. 31:46most the time, if not every time, the
  964. 31:48plan is turn two at sorcery speed, I'm
  965. 31:50going to Jenga Taxis, refill my hand,
  966. 31:52and then you all have a single turn to
  967. 31:55deal with this or win the game. And if
  968. 31:57you do not, you will all have no hands,
  969. 31:59and I will have a full grip, and I'm
  970. 32:01just going to go into my next turn and
  971. 32:02and present a win.
  972. 32:03>> Ex. Yeah, ex. It's my favorite bomb. If
  973. 32:05this card didn't exist, I wouldn't play
  974. 32:06this deck.
  975. 32:07>> Interesting. Okay. Very, very cool.
  976. 32:09Yeah. Yeah. I I think this card is
  977. 32:11phenomenal, especially with LED. Like
  978. 32:12that play pattern on turn two is just
  979. 32:14extremely powerful.
  980. 32:15>> Yeah. I mean, it it just if you I mean,
  981. 32:17you could play it turn one, you know,
  982. 32:19there's there's ways, but it comes out
  983. 32:20turn two like I mean often like this
  984. 32:22like you know, Dark Ritual, like Necro,
  985. 32:25like this is this is like your thing
  986. 32:27that you do.
  987. 32:28>> Yeah.
  988. 32:28>> And then everyone's on a clock. So,
  989. 32:31>> and if they remove it, who cares? You do
  990. 32:33seven cards. Who cares? Yeah. So,
  991. 32:34>> Right.
  992. 32:35>> Right. Right. and and they have to use
  993. 32:37removal on it and you go into your next
  994. 32:39turn and you have another bomb. Yeah.
  995. 32:41>> Yeah. Who cares?
  996. 32:42>> That's sweet. Continually presenting
  997. 32:43threats.
  998. 32:44>> Yeah.
  999. 32:44>> Okay. Awesome. Let's transition again.
  1000. 32:47Tutor. Tutor. Tutor. Tutor. Unmask,
  1001. 32:50which is I'd say most of the time a
  1002. 32:52discard outlet for you if that's
  1003. 32:53correct. It is a discard outlet. Yes, it
  1004. 32:56is. It is a discard outlet for me. It
  1005. 32:58will be more I think I'm going to play
  1006. 32:59Meme Betrayal because I my game of
  1007. 33:01Sylvie made me realize like how strong
  1008. 33:03Mean Betrayal is. I I played it before.
  1009. 33:05Mhm.
  1010. 33:06>> But basically like it's mostly for me
  1011. 33:08and seat four is for you [laughter]
  1012. 33:11>> and then like if you have like the
  1013. 33:13breach or brain freeze in hand, you
  1014. 33:16know, I want I'm going to want to make
  1015. 33:18you discard it and then me betray it is
  1016. 33:20essentially what I'm going want to do in
  1017. 33:22the future with that. So sweet. I think
  1018. 33:25that's awesome.
  1019. 33:26>> Yeah.
  1020. 33:26>> Oh. Oh, by the way, uh Prader's Grasp.
  1021. 33:30>> Yeah.
  1022. 33:30>> So it's still on the curve. So you can
  1023. 33:32still turn one nothing turn two hash
  1024. 33:36turn three pisto graphs get someone
  1025. 33:38else's LED cast it ripen
  1026. 33:40>> nice okay so technically another outlet
  1027. 33:43or another thing that is on curve on the
  1028. 33:45one 123 plan
  1029. 33:46>> yeah really cool that's awesome instance
  1030. 33:48suite a lot of these again are wellknown
  1031. 33:50we'll go through some of the ones that
  1032. 33:51are cool we have packed negation demonic
  1033. 33:53consultation enlightened tutor wristic
  1034. 33:56study fish led etc fluster storm mental
  1035. 34:00misstep spell snare really reach it into
  1036. 34:02the into the counter spell coffers for
  1037. 34:04this one. I love it. Stubborn denial,
  1038. 34:06great and hash uh just because you do
  1039. 34:08control those creatures with power for
  1040. 34:09greater quite a bit of the time.
  1041. 34:10Vampiric tutor, days, disrupting troll,
  1042. 34:13snapback, taint impact, fierce
  1043. 34:15guardianship, force and negation, deadly
  1044. 34:16rollic foil. So foil some people have
  1045. 34:19never heard of. Uh I I've never seen
  1046. 34:21anyone play this spell except Anthony.
  1047. 34:23This is two blue blue. It's an instant.
  1048. 34:24Says you may discard an island card and
  1049. 34:26another card rather than pay the spell's
  1050. 34:28mana cost. Counter target spell. So this
  1051. 34:30is another free counter spell. The
  1052. 34:32restriction being that you have to
  1053. 34:33discard an island of which we play see
  1054. 34:38one two three four. Right.
  1055. 34:42>> Correct.
  1056. 34:43>> Yeah. So you have four lands that will
  1057. 34:45make turn this online. And you can also
  1058. 34:47discard a bomb and activate and have a
  1059. 34:50hash trigger.
  1060. 34:50>> Yeah. Super relevant. Actually, there's
  1061. 34:52games I've won where like I cast
  1062. 34:54something like snuff out instant speed
  1063. 34:56and then discard like the thoracle and
  1064. 34:58then go for game. and my upkeep in
  1065. 35:00response to like a pack trigger or
  1066. 35:02something.
  1067. 35:02>> That's hot.
  1068. 35:03>> Yeah, that's really hot. Sweet.
  1069. 35:04Mindbreak trap. Snuff out. Contagion. If
  1070. 35:07you're playing Euro, you know this card.
  1071. 35:08Three black black. You may pay one life
  1072. 35:10and remove a black card in your hand
  1073. 35:12from the game rather than pay
  1074. 35:13Contagion's mana cost. Distribute two
  1075. 35:16-2gative1 counters among one or two
  1076. 35:19target creatures. So, yet another piece
  1077. 35:22of free removal. It deals with two
  1078. 35:24different things. It can it can put, you
  1079. 35:26know, neg two on one thing. It's all
  1080. 35:28instant speed. It's essentially black
  1081. 35:30force of will that removes creatures.
  1082. 35:32>> Yeah. If if you're sick and tired of
  1083. 35:34reagans swinging at you and
  1084. 35:37>> esper and flying mocking bird espers,
  1085. 35:40you know, then it's like a little mini
  1086. 35:42board wipe. And if you hate si playing
  1087. 35:44against ceay, then just lower that power
  1088. 35:48permanently. Yeah.
  1089. 35:49>> Force of will, misdirection, submerge.
  1090. 35:51If an opponent controls a forest, you
  1091. 35:53control an island, you may play submerge
  1092. 35:54without paying its mana cost. Put target
  1093. 35:56creature on top of its owner's library.
  1094. 35:58So really even better than a bounce
  1095. 35:59spell. This is putting something into a
  1096. 36:01zone that is inaccessible to your
  1097. 36:03opponents. So you just deal with
  1098. 36:04something a little more permanently.
  1099. 36:06Really nice. You are on so much removal
  1100. 36:08in this deck which I think is a premium
  1101. 36:10right now. And then commander of course
  1102. 36:11uh which is the the newest counter spell
  1103. 36:13that everyone is playing.
  1104. 36:15>> Yeah.
  1105. 36:15>> And it is just so good. So So going back
  1106. 36:18to man of liberty here like there's no
  1107. 36:20swan song fluster you just you have to
  1108. 36:22play I think in any and every blue deck
  1109. 36:24especially when the rule of laws pop and
  1110. 36:26people start jamming. You got to fluster
  1111. 36:28them out. Everything is free, right?
  1112. 36:30Like besides like spell snare cuz I hate
  1113. 36:32Grand Abolers,
  1114. 36:34>> breaches, thoracicles,
  1115. 36:36>> granabolers.
  1116. 36:36>> Wind conditions.
  1117. 36:38>> Wind conditions, defense.
  1118. 36:39>> Yeah. Aboras. Yeah.
  1119. 36:41>> Abor get those out of here.
  1120. 36:43>> Mhm.
  1121. 36:43>> And then and then stubborn, but like
  1122. 36:46besides basic spell and stubborn, right?
  1123. 36:48like everything is free because
  1124. 36:51>> when you when you're doing like the one
  1125. 36:53two three you and then let's say like
  1126. 36:55you discard your whole hand you're
  1127. 36:56tapped out and you draw seven eight
  1128. 36:58cards
  1129. 36:59>> you it has to be free you can't cast all
  1130. 37:02the other stuff that costs mana which
  1131. 37:04goes back into mana liberty in this deck
  1132. 37:06this is something people have missed too
  1133. 37:07like this deck truly take advantage of
  1134. 37:09you don't make mana so don't play
  1135. 37:11require mana you know
  1136. 37:13>> yeah like you like we were saying
  1137. 37:14earlier you don't see Lotho in this deck
  1138. 37:16you don't see Tatarotu You don't see
  1139. 37:18smothering tithe, right? You don't see
  1140. 37:21>> Gleaming Splender. Thank you. Yeah. It's
  1141. 37:23like we're not playing these these cards
  1142. 37:25that are engines for mana. We are just
  1143. 37:27curving out into the one two three and
  1144. 37:29it's very linear. It's not supposed to
  1145. 37:31have a lot of fluff around it, right?
  1146. 37:33>> No fluff.
  1147. 37:33>> Yeah. No fluff.
  1148. 37:34>> Just bombs.
  1149. 37:36>> Yeah. Just no fluff, just bombs. And
  1150. 37:37then in our artifacts suite, we have
  1151. 37:39Chromox LED, lotus pedal, Mox Amber, Mox
  1152. 37:42Diamond, Bloodthorn Flail, which we said
  1153. 37:44earlier is another discard outlet, Soul
  1154. 37:46Ring, and the Underworld Cookbook, which
  1155. 37:49is another discard outlet.
  1156. 37:50>> Yeah.
  1157. 37:50>> Yeah. Very simple.
  1158. 37:51>> Mox Opal may or not go in there. You
  1159. 37:53just draw so many cards, so it's like
  1160. 37:54>> Yeah,
  1161. 37:55>> it probably is going in cuz just you
  1162. 37:56just draw so many cards. It's just
  1163. 37:58>> Yeah.
  1164. 37:59>> Just get a little more free mana. Yeah.
  1165. 38:01>> Get the double bombs up quicker.
  1166. 38:03>> Get Yeah. Yeah. And then the lands are
  1167. 38:05not really anything special besides like
  1168. 38:07the pain lands or saga's cracked.
  1169. 38:09>> Yeah,
  1170. 38:09>> they can watch the stream games want to
  1171. 38:11see how force seat Öza saga somehow
  1172. 38:13makes you arch enemy. [laughter]
  1173. 38:16>> He's going to win.
  1174. 38:18>> Yeah,
  1175. 38:18>> that's so funny.
  1176. 38:19>> Yeah.
  1177. 38:24>> So, one one thing I do want to help
  1178. 38:27people with is transitioning to the
  1179. 38:30brewing mode, right? Like what did I,
  1180. 38:32you know, do differently? numbers,
  1181. 38:34right?
  1182. 38:34>> Let's talk numbers.
  1183. 38:35>> Let's talk numbers.
  1184. 38:36>> Yeah.
  1185. 38:36>> Yeah. Okay. So, just using Moxfield, uh
  1186. 38:40you'll Yeah. We'll have you do
  1187. 38:41everything here. So, I have basically
  1188. 38:43the list memorized, right? So, people
  1189. 38:46will say like, "Oh, hey, Anthony. Hey,
  1190. 38:49Glacial City. What What is the correct
  1191. 38:52number of discard outlets should I run?"
  1192. 38:55Like, what is the correct number? Is
  1193. 38:56there a correct number? Do you think
  1194. 38:58there's a correct number, Zach?
  1195. 38:59>> Uh I I don't know that there is, but I
  1196. 39:01assume that there is. Yeah, like right.
  1197. 39:03It's like I assume there is. Well, yes.
  1198. 39:05The answer is yes. So,
  1199. 39:07>> if you I like to use this as an example,
  1200. 39:09right? How many lands do decks
  1201. 39:11stereotypically play?
  1202. 39:12>> Anywhere from 23 to 27.
  1203. 39:15>> Yeah, I would I would say 28 is usually
  1204. 39:18like the standard, right? And so when
  1205. 39:20you have 28 lands, right? And Mox
  1206. 39:22Moxfield is is so nice. So, let's let's
  1207. 39:25scroll. Let's scroll down. Mox. Keep
  1208. 39:28going. Keep going. Oh, right there.
  1209. 39:30Right there. Whoa. Right there. The
  1210. 39:31average number of lands in your opening
  1211. 39:33hand is 2.04,
  1212. 39:36right? Because I
  1213. 39:37>> I play 28 lands. So like the the answer
  1214. 39:40is two, right?
  1215. 39:42>> So in each fresh seven, I can
  1216. 39:46essentially the probability of having
  1217. 39:48two lands. It's it's two. 28 is two. And
  1218. 39:51so what does that mean for discard
  1219. 39:52outlets, right? And this is something
  1220. 39:53that that you can apply to other decks
  1221. 39:56as well, but we're just going to use
  1222. 39:57hash as an example, right? M you're
  1223. 39:59going to you want one discard outlet,
  1224. 40:01right? You want one discard outlet,
  1225. 40:02which means the number you're looking
  1226. 40:04for is 14. And if I recall correctly,
  1227. 40:07that essentially is like that's 2.04. 14
  1228. 40:10is like 0.99. So, how would we do the
  1229. 40:13math? Or is there a hypergeometric
  1230. 40:15calculator we want to use? We can
  1231. 40:17literally go back to Moxfield.
  1232. 40:18>> Oh, wow. What a great tool.
  1233. 40:20>> We Yeah, what a great tool. [laughter]
  1234. 40:22>> We'll we'll do it all in Moxfield,
  1235. 40:24honestly. Let's Let's scroll up. Hyper.
  1236. 40:26There it is on your left.
  1237. 40:27>> Wow. What a great tool.
  1238. 40:29>> Whoa. Moxfield. You did everything in
  1239. 40:31[clears throat] Moxfield. Crazy, right?
  1240. 40:33So, uh D.
  1241. 40:35>> Yeah. Let's Let's just do starting deck
  1242. 40:37size. Let's change that to 99. And then
  1243. 40:39number of cards, seven, right?
  1244. 40:41>> And then how many how many of the cards
  1245. 40:45are you looking for uh in the deck,
  1246. 40:46right? We're doing that's a 14, right?
  1247. 40:48Cuz there's 14. Uh just Yeah, let's go
  1248. 40:5114. And then uh how many do you want?
  1249. 40:54One. And then how many mulligans did you
  1250. 40:56take? Now, just click calculate. Okay,
  1251. 40:58so this is the probability, right? These
  1252. 41:00are these are these are the numbers,
  1253. 41:02right? Um there there's different thing
  1254. 41:04about math is like there's different
  1255. 41:06ways to like view these numbers, right?
  1256. 41:09Like if we So yeah, let's go through it.
  1257. 41:11So the chance of drawing one or more 66.
  1258. 41:13The chance of drawing exactly one is 41
  1259. 41:1641.13,
  1260. 41:18right? And then the chance of drawing
  1261. 41:20one or less obviously is higher and the
  1262. 41:22chance of drawing zero is 33%. Mhm.
  1263. 41:26>> And so the way the math works is that
  1264. 41:28when you're looking for something
  1265. 41:29specific, right, your chances actually
  1266. 41:32increase. I mean numbers are relative,
  1267. 41:34but we'll say dramatically for the
  1268. 41:35dramatic effect.
  1269. 41:36>> Sure.
  1270. 41:36>> They increase dramatically, right?
  1271. 41:38>> Mhm.
  1272. 41:38>> So yeah. So like when you mulligan,
  1273. 41:40let's say it's like let's say it's like
  1274. 41:42uh 41.13%
  1275. 41:45chance, right?
  1276. 41:46>> That then increases to like 55 to like
  1277. 41:5161 to 70, right? It just it just like
  1278. 41:55dramatically, you know, exactly.
  1279. 41:57>> Yeah.
  1280. 41:57>> Just just like exactly the 79, right?
  1281. 42:01>> So So it go it goes up, right? And this
  1282. 42:03is something that you have to account
  1283. 42:04for when you're when you're mulling in
  1284. 42:07front of this game cuz like everything
  1285. 42:08is really decided in mulligans, right?
  1286. 42:10>> So when I'm playing, I factor in am I
  1287. 42:12see one, see two, seat three, see four,
  1288. 42:15right? And then I think about
  1289. 42:16essentially the probabilities of oh, I
  1290. 42:20need to get fish, right? And then it's
  1291. 42:22like how many cards lead to fish, right?
  1292. 42:24And if we go back to list and and and we
  1293. 42:26count, right? So we'd go with like one.
  1294. 42:29And then we go to our tutors, which is
  1295. 42:31in line tutor. Two, three, four, five,
  1296. 42:36six, right? And and it's not just I
  1297. 42:39guess fish, right? We would add like
  1298. 42:41Esper. Like we'll stop with Esper too,
  1299. 42:43right?
  1300. 42:44>> So we add Esper. That's that's seven.
  1301. 42:46Then let's just keep it simple for now.
  1302. 42:48So we go back to the hypergeometric
  1303. 42:50calculator, right? And I guess if you
  1304. 42:51want to put aristic in there, you say
  1305. 42:53eights, right? And then hope you get the
  1306. 42:55fast mana. So let's go eight calculate,
  1307. 42:58right? And then ex there it is 25%.
  1308. 43:02Right? So you have 25%. And then that's
  1309. 43:05mulligan from there. Right? And then
  1310. 43:07went up to 43%. And then mulligan again,
  1311. 43:10right? And it just your probability is
  1312. 43:12higher and higher and higher. And that's
  1313. 43:13why it's like a a mult to four for
  1314. 43:16exactly what you need is always going to
  1315. 43:18be better than some random seven.
  1316. 43:19>> Yeah.
  1317. 43:20>> You know, and so a lot of people people
  1318. 43:21are like, "Oh, this is like keepable. Is
  1319. 43:23it?" [laughter]
  1320. 43:25You know, like
  1321. 43:26>> is it? Right. And and that's just one of
  1322. 43:28the strategies like if we're doing like,
  1323. 43:30you know, the the one two three or the
  1324. 43:32LED bomb, right? Those are the
  1325. 43:34probabilities for those just get higher
  1326. 43:36and higher and higher. So it's like you
  1327. 43:37>> you may as well mull and get what you
  1328. 43:39want, right? Like in the semi-finals,
  1329. 43:42Dexter mowled the three, you know, and
  1330. 43:45it was it was tough. It's always it's
  1331. 43:47always tough mentally molding the three,
  1332. 43:49>> but he still was able to get colon the
  1333. 43:51week necro.
  1334. 43:52>> Mhm.
  1335. 43:53>> Right. The math.
  1336. 43:55>> Yeah.
  1337. 43:55>> Yeah. [laughter]
  1338. 43:57>> Who cares? Like like you went down to
  1339. 43:59three, but you're about to replenish
  1340. 44:00your whole hand and then some. You know,
  1341. 44:02it's like
  1342. 44:03>> and also like I'm keeping a seven that
  1343. 44:05says calling the weak necro, right? So
  1344. 44:07those are the only m the land calling
  1345. 44:09the weak necro. only real cards that
  1346. 44:10matter in the hand. The other cards are
  1347. 44:12nice additions to have but are not what
  1348. 44:15the optimization is there for. Right.
  1349. 44:17>> Exactly. Exactly. So
  1350. 44:18>> So my my question here is let's go back
  1351. 44:20to our 14, right? Our discard outlets.
  1352. 44:24>> Sure.
  1353. 44:24>> So at zero mulligans we have these
  1354. 44:26percentage chances. What I want to know
  1355. 44:29is why do these percentages matter,
  1356. 44:31right? Why what what happens when I say
  1357. 44:34okay so chance of drawing one or more
  1358. 44:35without mulligan at all is 46%. That's
  1359. 44:38pretty good. If I go to 15, we go up to
  1360. 44:4048%. So, it's a 2% change in that one or
  1361. 44:43more. How are you evaluating like these
  1362. 44:45percentages after we use the
  1363. 44:47hypergeometric calculator? What are the
  1364. 44:49percentages that you're looking to
  1365. 44:50optimize for? Amazing. Excellent
  1366. 44:53question. So, this this depends on like
  1367. 44:55what consistency you're looking for.
  1368. 44:57This depends on how much you believe in
  1369. 44:59the probabilities. This depends on I
  1370. 45:00guess like how aggressive you are on
  1371. 45:02Mullans and everyone should be. Uh this
  1372. 45:04depends on the other numbers that they
  1373. 45:06are affecting. Right. So if there is a
  1374. 45:10if there's a true number for discard
  1375. 45:12outlets, essentially the logic for this
  1376. 45:15is you do want your discard outlets to
  1377. 45:16be as low as to as close to 14 as
  1378. 45:20possible. I think I'm at like 16 right
  1379. 45:23now just to keep that number just ever
  1380. 45:24so slightly consistent. Also some card
  1381. 45:27not every card's the same like I
  1382. 45:28mentioned before like future dimp is
  1383. 45:30like infinite discard right sure but
  1384. 45:32then there's cards like Öza saga which
  1385. 45:34is a disc basically a fake discard
  1386. 45:37outlet and a land right so and and and
  1387. 45:40those cards are actually really nice to
  1388. 45:41have in the deck because it essentially
  1389. 45:43makes the math more forgiving right so
  1390. 45:45it's like 14 15 is like may not actually
  1391. 45:48be that accurate because your deck is
  1392. 45:50actually a little bit more forgiving
  1393. 45:51than than what we're actually accounting
  1394. 45:52or calculating for
  1395. 45:54>> and so then you have to think about it's
  1396. 45:55like you know that let's say we have
  1397. 45:57like close to 14 as possible to keep it
  1398. 45:59to the average of one then it's like
  1399. 46:02what else do we need in the hand we
  1400. 46:03still need the two lands right
  1401. 46:05>> and then we need you know the bomb and
  1402. 46:07then the question is like what are the
  1403. 46:09bombs at right so if you want to see a
  1404. 46:11minimum of one then that number right as
  1405. 46:13we know as we've seen is 14 right and
  1406. 46:15then it's like how many bombs you know
  1407. 46:18do we have right we can count them
  1408. 46:20>> I still count esperinal polywog
  1409. 46:23>> two
  1410. 46:23>> two and then we have to Go to modok
  1411. 46:26>> consecrated sinks sire titan
  1412. 46:30>> sex
  1413. 46:31>> octopus guy
  1414. 46:34[laughter]
  1415. 46:34>> octopus man
  1416. 46:36>> primal primal primal tide runcar baleful
  1417. 46:40gormagala villis balaboth jenotaxis
  1418. 46:45what's that number so we didn't count do
  1419. 46:47we count or elishorn we do not okay so
  1420. 46:51let's just go again so one two 3
  1421. 46:55>> 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14. Wow.
  1422. 47:03>> Oh 14.
  1423. 47:05>> 14.
  1424. 47:06>> That's crazy. [laughter]
  1425. 47:08>> Yeah.
  1426. 47:09>> That being said, are are we counting
  1427. 47:10tutors as well? Like these increase are
  1428. 47:13these part of the bomb counts or No.
  1429. 47:15>> No,
  1430. 47:15>> they're not. No. Okay. So, because those
  1431. 47:17tutors are leading into usually LED,
  1432. 47:20right? Understood. We we do not count
  1433. 47:23those as in addition to. So the bombs
  1434. 47:25are just pure pure bombs.
  1435. 47:28>> And so the other cards like Ellishnorn,
  1436. 47:30Rule of Laws,
  1437. 47:32>> I I think if you add those in, it
  1438. 47:33becomes like 20 or something. And
  1439. 47:36essentially it's it starts leaning
  1440. 47:38closer. You start getting uh you go from
  1441. 47:40one, you start going more towards two,
  1442. 47:42right? But in terms of true bombs, it is
  1443. 47:4414. You want one. You want one of these,
  1444. 47:46right? Runescar also gets commandeer.
  1445. 47:48Totally forgot to mention that. But
  1446. 47:50anyways, facts. Yeah. And yeah, so that
  1447. 47:54is essentially like the math for that.
  1448. 47:55And if you're double bombing, it's like
  1449. 47:57maybe you have two cool bombs or maybe
  1450. 47:59you have like the rule of law like to
  1451. 48:02like to go with it and and stop
  1452. 48:04someone's turn. So, but yeah, like this
  1453. 48:08goes into part of the things that
  1454. 48:09essentially I helped solve for this
  1455. 48:11deck. And this is stuff that you could
  1456. 48:13it goes for everything like you can it
  1457. 48:15goes it goes for everything, right? So
  1458. 48:17yeah, takeaway being right that when we
  1459. 48:20are looking at a deck, we want to
  1460. 48:21understand the goal of the deck first.
  1461. 48:23You know, the goal of this deck is I
  1462. 48:25need a I need a three mana by turn three
  1463. 48:28or you know there some combination of
  1464. 48:30that with the LED. I need a discard
  1465. 48:32outlet and I need a bomb. Those are the
  1466. 48:34goals of this deck.
  1467. 48:35>> Yeah.
  1468. 48:36>> And if I can understand my goals, then I
  1469. 48:38can optimize for my goals and say,
  1470. 48:40"Okay, I need I need these three
  1471. 48:42things." And and are those the three
  1472. 48:43things that you're optimizing for, which
  1473. 48:45is mana, curve, bombs, and discard
  1474. 48:48outlets? Are those like the big three?
  1475. 48:49>> Those are those are the big three. I I
  1476. 48:50mean, I tell people it's still wristic
  1477. 48:52and fish deck, and those are technically
  1478. 48:54like I mean, they're their own category,
  1479. 48:56but you can include them as bombs if you
  1480. 48:57want to.
  1481. 48:58>> Sure.
  1482. 48:58>> But it's in a lot of my testing, I was
  1483. 49:00running a lot of games just doing pure
  1484. 49:02sitting on fish aristic cuz hasheton is
  1485. 49:05not any of the actual windcons.
  1486. 49:06Something we haven't talked about yet.
  1487. 49:07So like you just draw a bunch of cards
  1488. 49:09and then just praise grasp someone to
  1489. 49:11death like easy no problem cheesy cuz
  1490. 49:13you LED is probably in the graveyard
  1491. 49:15anyway you know so who just get their
  1492. 49:17breach one game so so what's maybe
  1493. 49:19what's the takeaway for people when
  1494. 49:21they're brewing decks and and looking at
  1495. 49:22hypergeometric calculation
  1496. 49:24>> have a game plan have a game plan like
  1497. 49:25this this deck is nothing but a game
  1498. 49:27plan you know all the decks I brew have
  1499. 49:30nothing but a game plan in the Discords
  1500. 49:31I write a lot of philosophies
  1501. 49:33>> for uh for these decks
  1502. 49:35>> and then the people in you know, shout
  1503. 49:38out to everyone in the discords
  1504. 49:41>> like, you know, they know as well and
  1505. 49:42it's a good community and everybody
  1506. 49:44helps test new cards, try different
  1507. 49:46things and help people understand, you
  1508. 49:49know, the logic, the philosophy, you
  1509. 49:50know, how to play. So, yeah. Yeah. And
  1510. 49:53it's I would say one thing about this
  1511. 49:54that's interesting maybe that we can
  1512. 49:56cover is sometimes in Discords in deck
  1513. 49:58specific Discords, there's a lot of
  1514. 50:00discussion about like freedom of
  1515. 50:02thought, right? Like how you play this
  1516. 50:04deck and how I play this deck may be
  1517. 50:05different. I wouldn't say, and I don't
  1518. 50:07know because I I don't spend a lot of
  1519. 50:08time in tech specific Discords, that
  1520. 50:10your Discord is not really meant to say,
  1521. 50:12well, there's a billion ways to play
  1522. 50:14this deck, and we're just a group of
  1523. 50:15people who are talking about all the
  1524. 50:16different ways. You're like, this is
  1525. 50:17what I believe is the optimal way to
  1526. 50:18play. You can play however you'd like,
  1527. 50:20but the point of this Discord is to play
  1528. 50:22in this particular fashion.
  1529. 50:24>> Yes. Yes. Because otherwise, like I am
  1530. 50:28I'm like I'm not able to help you, you
  1531. 50:30know, because like
  1532. 50:31>> you're doing your own thing.
  1533. 50:33>> Yeah. Like I I play like 15 I play like
  1534. 50:3514 to 15 bombs like true bombs and like
  1535. 50:39I may have tried some of the ways that
  1536. 50:42other people have played. I played
  1537. 50:43hashtton like before it came out and I
  1538. 50:46was still like on n visit so I wasn't
  1539. 50:48able to like completely like switch
  1540. 50:50>> due to my dedication of you know one of
  1541. 50:52my other crafts and it was the first
  1542. 50:54time I went like 050 like in a
  1543. 50:56tournament
  1544. 50:57>> um or 0x0 at a tournament which is
  1545. 50:59hilarious. Never give up. It's just like
  1546. 51:02I am just when when people So this is
  1547. 51:04probably a whole another video, but
  1548. 51:06there's there's brewers, there's tuners,
  1549. 51:08and there's champions.
  1550. 51:10>> And you know, a a champion is someone
  1551. 51:12who basically is publicly well known to
  1552. 51:15perform on the deck. And then in
  1553. 51:17addition, because they're a champion,
  1554. 51:18they obviously know the deck very well
  1555. 51:20to win with it. And then they become
  1556. 51:22like the source of truth and usually end
  1557. 51:24up tuning. Unless you're like Lamora who
  1558. 51:26just
  1559. 51:26>> plays my exact Rowan iteration with
  1560. 51:29whatever it is and just wins and goes
  1561. 51:32first in Swiss at Reach the Bay and wins
  1562. 51:34the breach card, you know, shout out
  1563. 51:37like Yeah. Like that's that's those are
  1564. 51:40like the categories of like where people
  1565. 51:42are. Not all brewers are also champions
  1566. 51:44like of of the decks that they brew.
  1567. 51:46like someone Oh, I guess I I guess you
  1568. 51:49know you just had a video with uh Ben uh
  1569. 51:53Golden Pryo who made the Tala deck and
  1570. 51:56then Atlas just like won like a
  1571. 51:59tournament with it like already.
  1572. 52:00>> Yeah.
  1573. 52:00>> You know, same literally yesterday I won
  1574. 52:03a gold on Rag Timna which is a deck he
  1575. 52:06brewed. We brewed a little bit together
  1576. 52:07and then he iterated a ton on it. I had
  1577. 52:09never played this deck before and I was
  1578. 52:11like, "Okay, I'm going to go and play a
  1579. 52:12tournament on this, you know." And yeah,
  1580. 52:14I I love watching brewing happen because
  1581. 52:16I think it's super fascinating and I
  1582. 52:18love to talk about ideas. I am not a
  1583. 52:20brewer. I am in the tuner champion
  1584. 52:23category and I'm very happy being there.
  1585. 52:25You know, it's not to say like I can't
  1586. 52:28brew and I and I have brewed decks
  1587. 52:29before. I don't think that the decks I
  1588. 52:31brew are very good cuz I don't practice
  1589. 52:34that skill. You know, that's not my
  1590. 52:36gift. That's not what I pride myself on
  1591. 52:38being the best in the world at. And so I
  1592. 52:40I do think that the whole concept of
  1593. 52:42trying to be all three is really
  1594. 52:43difficult. I'd say you're probably a
  1595. 52:45great example of someone who is doing
  1596. 52:47all three. Uh Holden again being you
  1597. 52:49know the Ralph father another great
  1598. 52:51example. But it's it is okay to live in
  1599. 52:54different categories and to to exist you
  1600. 52:56know and not have to claim that you know
  1601. 52:58I'm all three and I'm I'm really good at
  1602. 53:00everything and I can do all this
  1603. 53:01different you know all these different
  1604. 53:02concepts and ideas like you can just
  1605. 53:04focus on an area or or kind of the you
  1606. 53:07know brewer. I think it's maybe maybe to
  1607. 53:09me it's a little bit more like two
  1608. 53:10categories where it's brewer and
  1609. 53:12champion. Tuner kind of exists in the
  1610. 53:15median space between the both or between
  1611. 53:17both of them
  1612. 53:18>> for for a lot of people like you're
  1613. 53:19saying.
  1614. 53:20>> Yeah. Yeah. You'd rather be a champion
  1615. 53:21than than a than a tuner cuz like then
  1616. 53:23you get both.
  1617. 53:24>> Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. And you can
  1618. 53:26naturally you'll you'll naturally like
  1619. 53:28be like you know and and for example
  1620. 53:30like with this Rock Timidc I'm going to
  1621. 53:31chat with Ben. and we're going to do a
  1622. 53:32video on it, of course, and I'm going to
  1623. 53:34go over all the things that felt subpar,
  1624. 53:37things that I felt like were missing
  1625. 53:38from the deck. And that's a good
  1626. 53:39opportunity to tune the deck based on a
  1627. 53:42winning perspective. Yes. Yes. And a
  1628. 53:44Brewer loves their champions, you know,
  1629. 53:46like Yeah. So, I'm sure you guys are
  1630. 53:48going to have a real fun time and and
  1631. 53:50awesome celebration, you know, with
  1632. 53:53Congrats, by the way, with
  1633. 53:54>> I appreciate it. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah,
  1634. 53:56the invitational match just goes a
  1635. 53:57little bit harder because you got the
  1636. 53:58Tim and the [laughter]
  1637. 54:03>> Yeah. Whenever any of my champions say
  1638. 54:04anything about the deck, I'm always
  1639. 54:06like, "Oo,
  1640. 54:07>> what happened?" You know, like Yeah.
  1641. 54:09like what you like, what you didn't
  1642. 54:11like. Yeah. I'm like, "Awesome."
  1643. 54:12>> Exactly.
  1644. 54:12>> Yeah. It's the most useful advice you're
  1645. 54:14going to get.
  1646. 54:14>> Exactly. Exactly. The what is it? like
  1647. 54:17Notorious. Actually, speaking of
  1648. 54:18champions, Notorious just won like a or
  1649. 54:20he got like second at like a 47 event or
  1650. 54:23something like with Hash and then I was
  1651. 54:25like, "Did you use Reanimate at all?" He
  1652. 54:26said, "No." I said, "Great. I'm cutting
  1653. 54:28it." [laughter]
  1654. 54:31That's so funny.
  1655. 54:33>> Yeah. Yeah. So, hell yeah. Okay.
  1656. 54:40I just want to say, you know, let's make
  1657. 54:43CEDH magic damage great again, right?
  1658. 54:47[laughter]
  1659. 54:48Sure. Yeah.
  1660. 54:50>> Magic life matters.
  1661. 54:52>> Yes.
  1662. 54:52>> Right. Please swing. [laughter]
  1663. 54:55>> Do do not just sit with your four fours
  1664. 54:59and not swing.
  1665. 55:00>> Yes.
  1666. 55:01>> You you have a stack plate. You have
  1667. 55:04lifelink thothoth. Like if people swing
  1668. 55:06back at you, who cares, right? Yes,
  1669. 55:09>> you need to swing at these guys
  1670. 55:11>> who are sitting on resources who are
  1671. 55:14>> scared of being rule of law, right? You
  1672. 55:16need to choke their life out and make
  1673. 55:20them go for it. You got to like cuz once
  1674. 55:23they drop like the 16 if they're, you
  1675. 55:25know, they're in that 40, they'll just
  1676. 55:26they'll draw you out.
  1677. 55:28>> Yeah. The panic sets in
  1678. 55:30>> cuz now it's like I'm swinging at this.
  1679. 55:32I'm swinging at you for lethal next turn
  1680. 55:33and people like don't do it. Don't cast
  1681. 55:36your spells. And you're like, "Yes, cast
  1682. 55:38the spells or you die. [laughter]
  1683. 55:41>> Swing at them."
  1684. 55:42>> Yeah.
  1685. 55:43>> You know, like that's not draw, guys.
  1686. 55:46This isn't draw city, man. You know, so
  1687. 55:48I just
  1688. 55:49>> put some pressure on the table.
  1689. 55:50>> Put some pressure on the You got four
  1690. 55:52fours, man. Swing.
  1691. 55:54>> Yeah. One one cool thing, Brian Koval,
  1692. 55:56when he was getting into CDH, he was
  1693. 55:58like, I really love Crom because it just
  1694. 56:00kills people and it's going to swing.
  1695. 56:03And he I think he talked about this.
  1696. 56:04He's like, I'm just going to swing Crom
  1697. 56:05at the same player over and over again
  1698. 56:07because it's going to incite action.
  1699. 56:09They are going to realize they are dead
  1700. 56:11and they need to do something. And this
  1701. 56:13goes into much more magic philosophy.
  1702. 56:15And I'm sure we'll talk about this on
  1703. 56:17future episodes, but like it's great to
  1704. 56:19push second, but if everyone's sitting
  1705. 56:20behind wristic study, there's no
  1706. 56:22incentive to push because you're just
  1707. 56:24going to be advantaged by other people
  1708. 56:25pushing, drawing you cards, and then
  1709. 56:27pushing on top or pushing second. But if
  1710. 56:29you can like catalyze people to push by
  1711. 56:32killing them, then you have awesome
  1712. 56:34windows. Like you create windows with
  1713. 56:35combat damage.
  1714. 56:36>> Whoa. Crazy.
  1715. 56:38>> There there's a lot to learn from our
  1716. 56:40our pro 1v1 probe guys. Like that
  1717. 56:43>> they just they just say like magical
  1718. 56:45stuff and it's just like we should
  1719. 56:47listen.
  1720. 56:47>> We should listen.
  1721. 56:48>> We should listen.
  1722. 56:49>> Yeah.
  1723. 56:53>> Okay. So at this point, do you want to
  1724. 56:55transition into A winning the game and B
  1725. 56:58mulligans?
  1726. 56:59>> Yeah, we should talk about how we win
  1727. 57:00the game. That's kind of important.
  1728. 57:02Yeah. Yeah.
  1729. 57:03>> Me and Michelle's probably most likely
  1730. 57:05going in. If it doesn't, whatever. But
  1731. 57:06the main ones is Thoral. Thor's crack.
  1732. 57:08Thoral is the best way to win the game.
  1733. 57:10>> Yeah.
  1734. 57:10>> Thor, Prader's Grasp. I talked a little
  1735. 57:13bit about Prader's Grasp.
  1736. 57:14>> Mhm.
  1737. 57:15>> Combat damage. You I mean, you can and
  1738. 57:18you will kill people with combat damage.
  1739. 57:19Like, don't get me wrong. like and and
  1740. 57:21the and when you play this deck and you
  1741. 57:22win like you will get up early even
  1742. 57:23though you killed people with combo
  1743. 57:24damage like you will get up early which
  1744. 57:26is like another reason why I play this
  1745. 57:27deck like it it it wins quick chokes
  1746. 57:30people's time you had all the time it's
  1747. 57:32great and I think I think that is I
  1748. 57:34think that is it [laughter] like like
  1749. 57:35that is that that is
  1750. 57:37>> that that is it
  1751. 57:38>> easy peasy
  1752. 57:39>> there's like little mini combos where
  1753. 57:41you can you mentioned this like you can
  1754. 57:43jinaxis into Vavoth and then that chokes
  1755. 57:46out the game you know you can have
  1756. 57:48everyone build up resources and then
  1757. 57:50stack always stack played them, you
  1758. 57:51know, and the game's basically, you
  1759. 57:53know, over from there. But it really is
  1760. 57:55just Thoral. This is a very efficient
  1761. 57:58Thoral deck, you know, like like you
  1762. 58:01could tainted packed, you know, have
  1763. 58:03like a LED out, exile your whole deck,
  1764. 58:05and then if Thor's in your hand, you
  1765. 58:06could crack LED and like win the game,
  1766. 58:08you know, and that might confuse some
  1767. 58:10people because like you could be like,
  1768. 58:12"Oh, I have this demonic consultation. I
  1769. 58:15don't really want to use it, but we're
  1770. 58:16dying."
  1771. 58:17>> Mhm. You know, I'll name I'll name Swan
  1772. 58:19Song, you know. Cool. [laughter]
  1773. 58:24>> There's no Swan song.
  1774. 58:26Where's the Swan song? [laughter]
  1775. 58:29>> What?
  1776. 58:30>> I guess I'll just crack LED.
  1777. 58:32>> Crack LED.
  1778. 58:34>> Yeah. Yeah.
  1779. 58:35>> And then for nothing, right? So,
  1780. 58:38>> yeah.
  1781. 58:38>> Yeah. It's it's it's simple. You don't
  1782. 58:41need anything fancy than that. In my
  1783. 58:44experience,
  1784. 58:44>> I also say we are missing one of the
  1785. 58:47wins we talked about when we were when
  1786. 58:49when I was first asking about this deck,
  1787. 58:50which is the luris lines with with
  1788. 58:53Razakth.
  1789. 58:53>> The the reason I took out the loris
  1790. 58:55line, and I'm sure some people want to
  1791. 58:56know, I the Loris line is sick. It's
  1792. 58:58dope.
  1793. 58:58>> It is sick.
  1794. 58:59>> But four, it only works with four
  1795. 59:02creatures, four starts. It doesn't work
  1796. 59:05with Hless because Hless kills itself.
  1797. 59:07Why are you killing yourself hless?
  1798. 59:08>> Why you killing yourself?
  1799. 59:09>> Grand impless.
  1800. 59:12Basically, the the combo only works if
  1801. 59:15you have two creatures, which is
  1802. 59:17Asheton, the discard outlet, and then
  1803. 59:19you can win from there. I won't go into
  1804. 59:22all of it, but that is the reason why it
  1805. 59:24was cut.
  1806. 59:26>> Okay.
  1807. 59:26>> So, it's it's it's basically it's like
  1808. 59:28you're going to Jenaxis bomb people way
  1809. 59:30more than you're going to have basically
  1810. 59:32the Raza start, which is what is like,
  1811. 59:34>> you know, the math is math. So,
  1812. 59:36>> yeah, that makes a lot more sense. Yeah.
  1813. 59:42Okay, let's jump into mulligans. Do you
  1814. 59:44want to and go up to 100 or do we want
  1815. 59:45to just mle at 97?
  1816. 59:47>> Yeah, let's let's add in uh let's go to
  1817. 59:49the sideboard real quick. So, Mox Opal
  1818. 59:51talked about that. Me and Michelle
  1819. 59:52talked about that. Chancellor of the
  1820. 59:53Void. I know a lot of people are like,
  1821. 59:55"Oh, Chancellor, I hate this card. This
  1822. 59:57card will never be a bomb, but it's
  1823. 59:59probably going in the deck. Here's why.
  1824. 1:00:01I hate fourth seat, and you should too,
  1825. 1:00:05right?" And so, it basically just goes,
  1826. 1:00:08"Oh, I'm in fourth seat. You know, I
  1827. 1:00:10feel miserable. It is miserable. So,
  1828. 1:00:11let's make it more miserable and let's
  1829. 1:00:14reveal Chancellor in fourth seat.
  1830. 1:00:16>> And then let's bomb it in. [laughter]
  1831. 1:00:18>> No, I don't think we should ever bomb
  1832. 1:00:20this.
  1833. 1:00:21>> We're going to [laughter]
  1834. 1:00:24We're going to pitch it to Solitude.
  1835. 1:00:26We're going to pitch it to Chromox
  1836. 1:00:28>> because there's better bombs, right? It
  1837. 1:00:29still doesn't go in the in the 14 true
  1838. 1:00:31bombs. It's It's just If we can double
  1839. 1:00:34bomb and it's a pair, sure. You know,
  1840. 1:00:36why not? So, let me add these in from so
  1841. 1:00:40we can have a full deck and then we'll
  1842. 1:00:41go from there. And and these cards are
  1843. 1:00:43going to suck. And when we see these
  1844. 1:00:44cards, they're going to suck. Like
  1845. 1:00:45they're going to suck in our mingic
  1846. 1:00:47betrayal. It is not fun.
  1847. 1:00:48>> Yeah. Like, and that's another thing
  1848. 1:00:50about me show. It's blue. So,
  1849. 1:00:52>> it is blue. It is blue.
  1850. 1:00:53>> It was frantic search, but I'm just like
  1851. 1:00:55I don't want to tap out three mana for
  1852. 1:00:56that. So,
  1853. 1:00:57>> Mhm.
  1854. 1:00:57>> move to main deck. Move the main deck.
  1855. 1:00:59Move the main deck. Okay. So, go ahead
  1856. 1:01:01and refresh. Is it 100? Okay, there we
  1857. 1:01:03go.
  1858. 1:01:03>> And let's use a handy dandy tool. Love
  1859. 1:01:06love Moxfield, but I am drawan.
  1860. 1:01:09>> Yeah. It's time to go to the to the
  1861. 1:01:11better
  1862. 1:01:11>> the superior mulligan software.
  1863. 1:01:13>> Exactly.
  1864. 1:01:13>> Yeah. Okay. So, let's do a few things.
  1865. 1:01:16First, I would like to mulligan with you
  1866. 1:01:18in the void. By that, I mean, I don't
  1867. 1:01:20want to know our seat order. I don't
  1868. 1:01:21want to know the other decks in the pod.
  1869. 1:01:23I just want to know like what is the
  1870. 1:01:26what are the hands that I'm looking for
  1871. 1:01:28and are these hands capable? Then we can
  1872. 1:01:30mulligan with context and say, okay,
  1873. 1:01:32what's our pod? What's our C position?
  1874. 1:01:34What other decks are we playing? How
  1875. 1:01:35does that influence mulligan decisions?
  1876. 1:01:37>> Beautiful.
  1877. 1:01:38>> Cool. Okay, I'll I'll give you my
  1878. 1:01:40thoughts on sevens and or mulligans and
  1879. 1:01:43then you can give me kind of the the the
  1880. 1:01:45thoughts that you have as well.
  1881. 1:01:46>> I'll go.
  1882. 1:01:47>> Okay, so this looks like a keep to me.
  1883. 1:01:48This is a turn two rristic study. We
  1884. 1:01:50have I seal for soul ring. We have
  1885. 1:01:52submerge online because we can fetch an
  1886. 1:01:55island and if there's a force in play,
  1887. 1:01:57great. It does not lead into the one,
  1888. 1:01:58two, three plan quite as well. We have
  1889. 1:02:00zero bombs in our hand. We have a tutor
  1890. 1:02:02for LED on turn two, but again, no
  1891. 1:02:04bombs. That could change based on our
  1892. 1:02:06top decks. But like you said, this is a
  1893. 1:02:08rristic study deck at the end of the
  1894. 1:02:10day. We have two free spells. So, we
  1895. 1:02:12draw a black card. Seems like a keep to
  1896. 1:02:14me.
  1897. 1:02:14>> I had nothing to add.
  1898. 1:02:16>> Okay. Phenomenal. [laughter]
  1899. 1:02:19Let's go again.
  1900. 1:02:22Okay. Oh, heyo. [laughter] Heyo. Heyo
  1901. 1:02:26heyo heyo. This hand, although we have
  1902. 1:02:29Chancellor of the Annex and we can do
  1903. 1:02:30the really cute thing of reveal it and
  1904. 1:02:32then pitch it to Solitude, is awkward in
  1905. 1:02:34the sense that we have no bombs in our
  1906. 1:02:36hand. We have no path to turn two
  1907. 1:02:38wristic study. We have this LED on turn
  1908. 1:02:40three, but the deck is not meant to
  1909. 1:02:42gamble. That's the whole point of the
  1910. 1:02:44hypergeometric calculations we did
  1911. 1:02:45earlier. I would mulligan this hand
  1912. 1:02:48unless we want to use these as bombs,
  1913. 1:02:50which again we already talked about. We
  1914. 1:02:51do not want to do. So, I agree. I will
  1915. 1:02:55say if I'm seat one, I probably would
  1916. 1:02:58keep this. I mean, we just talked about
  1917. 1:03:00this. Yeah,
  1918. 1:03:00>> because this isn't This is like a turn
  1919. 1:03:04two wrist stick because you're if if
  1920. 1:03:06you're seat one, right?
  1921. 1:03:08>> And then you time lock everyone.
  1922. 1:03:10>> No, no, no. That makes it like a turn
  1923. 1:03:11one wristic. [laughter]
  1924. 1:03:13>> Oh, you mean just because I'm on my turn
  1925. 1:03:15two while everyone is going into their
  1926. 1:03:17turn three.
  1927. 1:03:17>> My my turn three is still your turn two
  1928. 1:03:20essentially.
  1929. 1:03:20>> Understood. Yeah.
  1930. 1:03:21>> If this the power of season one.
  1931. 1:03:23>> Yeah. So, and that and then that's like
  1932. 1:03:25not bad. And then we can do the thing
  1933. 1:03:27like I like we could solitude the
  1934. 1:03:30chancellor and I don't know like we
  1935. 1:03:32might even there's an Öza as well so we
  1936. 1:03:34might even be able to still get led and
  1937. 1:03:36do a hash bomb and we're excited. Like
  1938. 1:03:38who knows like it's
  1939. 1:03:40>> it's a fun hand. You don't have to keep
  1940. 1:03:41it. It's only for seven. So
  1941. 1:03:43>> yeah. Yeah. And it could play out really
  1942. 1:03:45interestingly right where it's like all
  1943. 1:03:46right everyone's if I'm seat one again
  1944. 1:03:48or seat four probably less good in seat
  1945. 1:03:50four because you just don't have the
  1946. 1:03:51cards you really like. that chancellor
  1947. 1:03:53is just a house. Like this is going to
  1948. 1:03:55basically timewalk everyone for a turn
  1949. 1:03:57and then whoever's ahead I just
  1950. 1:03:59solitude. I say you are back to the
  1951. 1:04:01stone ages with everyone else.
  1952. 1:04:03>> See you little flips.
  1953. 1:04:04>> Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. And then I'm just
  1954. 1:04:07having my wristic study to draw cards.
  1955. 1:04:08And and the cool thing about this is
  1956. 1:04:10because everyone is time walked this
  1957. 1:04:12wristic study is going to draw quite a
  1958. 1:04:13few more cards, right? Because it's
  1959. 1:04:16essentially like we're saying a a turn
  1960. 1:04:18earlier. You know, you can think of this
  1961. 1:04:19as a turn two wristic study, especially
  1962. 1:04:21in early C position.
  1963. 1:04:22>> Exactly.
  1964. 1:04:23>> That makes a lot of sense. Okay. Well,
  1965. 1:04:25let's let's say that we'll just mulligan
  1966. 1:04:27this since we are in the blind. So,
  1967. 1:04:28we'll go second seven. Okay. Second
  1968. 1:04:30seven. Yeah. [laughter] This is a turn
  1969. 1:04:32three rule of law. Not good enough. Six.
  1970. 1:04:43This hand
  1971. 1:04:45has bomb potential on turn three with
  1972. 1:04:48Ellisnorn and Rzzicth, but we our
  1973. 1:04:52discard outlet is not a creature, so
  1974. 1:04:53that hurts our Razicth. Uh, we have no
  1975. 1:04:56card draw in this hand. Uh, we also are
  1976. 1:04:58not even guaranteed a turn three bomb
  1977. 1:05:00because we don't have our third piece of
  1978. 1:05:01mana in a land on a six. I don't feel
  1979. 1:05:05like I'm loving this hand. I would mold
  1980. 1:05:07a five. Let's do it.
  1981. 1:05:10There we go. Easy peasy. This is kind of
  1982. 1:05:13an interesting hand to talk about,
  1983. 1:05:14right? We have all the things we were
  1984. 1:05:16talking about earlier in the episode,
  1985. 1:05:17right? We have three mana. So, we have
  1986. 1:05:20our one, two, three curve. We have our
  1987. 1:05:22discard outlet, and we have two bombs
  1988. 1:05:24and a piece of removal. Since we're on
  1989. 1:05:26five, we have to give away two of these
  1990. 1:05:28cards. My inclination is to let go of
  1991. 1:05:30one of the bombs and a land or one of
  1992. 1:05:32the bombs and the deathly relic. I I
  1993. 1:05:34think what we were talking about earlier
  1994. 1:05:36again is we're looking for two lands in
  1995. 1:05:37that opener. our likelihood of drawing
  1996. 1:05:39that third land in in three turns is
  1997. 1:05:41pretty high. So, if I were to if I were
  1998. 1:05:43to go off disc off of what I think we
  1999. 1:05:45get rid of, I believe it's the Baleful
  2000. 1:05:48Force and probably like the Caves of Co.
  2001. 1:05:53And then we we have this deadly rollic
  2002. 1:05:55up on turn two. We also get a lot of
  2003. 1:05:57card selection with Grand. That's going
  2004. 1:05:59to let us get into our lands. So, this
  2005. 1:06:00would be my five. What do you think? If
  2006. 1:06:03it is a creature pod, we have to keep
  2007. 1:06:06baleful force because they will not feed
  2008. 1:06:09that tide.
  2009. 1:06:10>> Good good consideration. Yeah.
  2010. 1:06:11>> Yeah. And then if we're against greedy
  2011. 1:06:15Grix's decks, then we keep Nezahal
  2012. 1:06:18because Nezahal can sacrifice itself as
  2013. 1:06:21well for a different bomb because it can
  2014. 1:06:23discard and then you lose it forever.
  2015. 1:06:25But who cares? Um you're getting another
  2016. 1:06:27bomb out. But
  2017. 1:06:28>> there is also another world that we just
  2018. 1:06:31fully take advantage of and we keep both
  2019. 1:06:34bombs to basically be able to pivot and
  2020. 1:06:36we get rid of a lands and hope that
  2021. 1:06:38grand draws us into another land. That's
  2022. 1:06:41>> if bottom two lands or would you bottom
  2023. 1:06:43land that they roll like
  2024. 1:06:45>> once again all hypothetical, right? So
  2025. 1:06:47>> yeah,
  2026. 1:06:48>> all hypothetical like and that's that's
  2027. 1:06:49the thing about this deck, right? It's
  2028. 1:06:50like you'll be able to, you know,
  2029. 1:06:52configure basically the best way for you
  2030. 1:06:54to be as greedy as possible to, you
  2031. 1:06:56know, win the game. So,
  2032. 1:06:58>> sure.
  2033. 1:06:58>> Yeah, it just depends.
  2034. 1:07:00>> So, now let's let's mulligan with
  2035. 1:07:01context, and this will help inform some
  2036. 1:07:03of these decisions that we're unsure
  2037. 1:07:05about or that we're theorizing on. So,
  2038. 1:07:07we're restarting pod order. We have the
  2039. 1:07:09getro monster in seat one, rag thrust in
  2040. 1:07:11seat 2, TNT in seat 3, and we are in the
  2041. 1:07:13dreaded seat 4. This is our first seven.
  2042. 1:07:16I don't like this hand. We have no
  2043. 1:07:18discard outlet. We have a pseudo bomb
  2044. 1:07:20that doesn't really deal with these
  2045. 1:07:22decks, right? Creature deck, creature
  2046. 1:07:24deck, creature deck. They don't really
  2047. 1:07:25care about as much. And our removal is
  2048. 1:07:29minimal at best. And we have no real
  2049. 1:07:31plan. This is a mole. Let's do it.
  2050. 1:07:33>> Second seven. Okay. Again, this looks
  2051. 1:07:36like a mole to me. We only have one mana
  2052. 1:07:38source. We have no discard outlet. We
  2053. 1:07:39have no bomb.
  2054. 1:07:40>> Let's do it.
  2055. 1:07:41>> Six. Okay. So, we're in fourth seat.
  2056. 1:07:43Four seat fish is pretty bad, especially
  2057. 1:07:45with one land. We have a dead card. Uh,
  2058. 1:07:49we do have a bomb. We have no, you know,
  2059. 1:07:52real mana to to back this fish up on. I
  2060. 1:07:55really hate a fourth seat fish with one
  2061. 1:07:57land. We're on a six. I would say
  2062. 1:07:59mulligan, but I'm I'm curious where your
  2063. 1:08:02thinking is.
  2064. 1:08:03>> Oh, I'm Yeah, I'm going to mole.
  2065. 1:08:04>> Mhm. Yeah, absolutely.
  2066. 1:08:06>> Five. Uh, we have our lands, we have our
  2067. 1:08:09bombs, we have a rule of law, we have no
  2068. 1:08:11mana acceleration, and we have no
  2069. 1:08:13discard outlet. I think I'm letting this
  2070. 1:08:14go on a five.
  2071. 1:08:15>> I haven't seen it, but I believe
  2072. 1:08:18>> Yeah, it's small.
  2073. 1:08:19>> Go to four. Okay, there we go. So, this
  2074. 1:08:21is lands. We have a vamputor. We have
  2075. 1:08:24bombs in the form of Poliwag Prodigy and
  2076. 1:08:26Valgavoth. This is a seat four. So this
  2077. 1:08:29means that we have a turn two bomb. With
  2078. 1:08:31these decks, I would look at Valgoth as
  2079. 1:08:34a potential stack/bomb because we turn
  2080. 1:08:36off the get rugg monster completely.
  2081. 1:08:38Like they don't get to play the game.
  2082. 1:08:40That being said, we kind of lose to
  2083. 1:08:41Ragthras and TNT. Downside of this is
  2084. 1:08:44Polywog being a fish means I'm not
  2085. 1:08:46really drawing that many cards off of
  2086. 1:08:48these feature decks. So, I'm tempted to
  2087. 1:08:50keep this as as like a stop gap and also
  2088. 1:08:53as an engine for myself when people cast
  2089. 1:08:55their spells. Them going into their turn
  2090. 1:08:58three means that they're going to cast
  2091. 1:08:59spells into the Valgoth and I'm going to
  2092. 1:09:00be able to play them. So, I'd probably
  2093. 1:09:02keep two lands, fampt tutor, and a
  2094. 1:09:06Valoth. All right, so we're on we're on
  2095. 1:09:08a four. We've have we have the things
  2096. 1:09:11that we need. We have two bombs in the
  2097. 1:09:14form of Polywog Prodigy and Valavoth
  2098. 1:09:16Terror Eater. We have two lands and we
  2099. 1:09:18have a vamp tutor to get our lines
  2100. 1:09:19diamond because of the awkward pod
  2101. 1:09:21composition and seed order. I don't love
  2102. 1:09:23this for uh the poliwog prodigy being a
  2103. 1:09:25mystic remora effect is not going to
  2104. 1:09:27trigger off of these creature decks very
  2105. 1:09:29much. Valgoth is something I like a
  2106. 1:09:31little more just because it invalidates
  2107. 1:09:33the getro monster completely and it's
  2108. 1:09:35going to gain us cards that these other
  2109. 1:09:37players are going to cast into the
  2110. 1:09:39Valgoth that we can cast on our turn.
  2111. 1:09:41It's going to be a little bit difficult
  2112. 1:09:42to win through this. So turn two Vavoth
  2113. 1:09:45um seems like the plan to me. I'd
  2114. 1:09:47probably keep land land vampoth and let
  2115. 1:09:51go of Poliwog in the other two lanes.
  2116. 1:09:52What do you think?
  2117. 1:09:53>> Yeah, I I don't normally actually choose
  2118. 1:09:56Poliwog over Valkoth because you know
  2119. 1:10:00card draw is always going to be better.
  2120. 1:10:02>> Mhm. But I think I think in this pod we
  2121. 1:10:04need to be annoying and force the get
  2122. 1:10:06rock player to feed us cards to stop the
  2123. 1:10:09other two decks because get rock can't
  2124. 1:10:11play against Vagaboth, remove Vagaboth,
  2125. 1:10:14do anything to Bagawoth.
  2126. 1:10:16>> So they'll have no other choice but to
  2127. 1:10:18start discarding and sacrificing and
  2128. 1:10:20give us anything to help come back and
  2129. 1:10:22stop the other two.
  2130. 1:10:24>> Yeah. Um, yeah,
  2131. 1:10:25>> it's a little bit of an awkward, but I
  2132. 1:10:26mean it's it's definitely a plan. And
  2133. 1:10:28like you said, mulligan aggression is
  2134. 1:10:30important and mulling to four. This is a
  2135. 1:10:32very keepable hand. Turn two vagaboth is
  2136. 1:10:34nuts.
  2137. 1:10:36>> Yeah. It's also how you time it, right?
  2138. 1:10:37Like I mentioned before, like you don't
  2139. 1:10:39just vagaboth immediately. Wait until
  2140. 1:10:42>> someone gets countered or something, you
  2141. 1:10:45know? Exactly.
  2142. 1:10:46>> Yeah, that's really smart. Yeah. Okay,
  2143. 1:10:48let's do another one. All right, this
  2144. 1:10:50pod we are again in C4. We have rogside
  2145. 1:10:52seat 1, anomar seat 2, rog thrust seat
  2146. 1:10:55three, and then we are in the dreaded
  2147. 1:10:57seat 4. We have a turn one esper
  2148. 1:10:58sentinel. This mox opal is feeling kind
  2149. 1:11:00of dead, but you we have hope. I'm not
  2150. 1:11:03loving the hand. I I always love esper
  2151. 1:11:07sentinel. I'm definitely biased towards
  2152. 1:11:08this card in seat one. Esper sentinel
  2153. 1:11:10gets us back into the game from seat 4.
  2154. 1:11:12The issue being
  2155. 1:11:13>> all creature decks, not a lot of
  2156. 1:11:15creature spells.
  2157. 1:11:16>> That's Yeah.
  2158. 1:11:17>> So,
  2159. 1:11:17>> oh, is that Wait, was that rock?
  2160. 1:11:18>> Oh, no. I'm sorry. No, it's Rogai
  2161. 1:11:20Anamar. So, two creature decks, one
  2162. 1:11:21non-creature. So, we we probably have
  2163. 1:11:23some play off of Rogai and seat one, but
  2164. 1:11:26we have no way to answer them, right?
  2165. 1:11:28There's no answers to Rogai.
  2166. 1:11:30>> So, I will say this, we should mole, but
  2167. 1:11:34I do want to show the secret tech here.
  2168. 1:11:36Yeah,
  2169. 1:11:37>> you tarnish Citadel turn one, play
  2170. 1:11:40Esper, keep Mox Opal in hand, and then
  2171. 1:11:44basically the hope, and it's a hope, the
  2172. 1:11:46hope is that you can still pash curve
  2173. 1:11:49bomb out by having two cards in hand and
  2174. 1:11:52go to discard.
  2175. 1:11:52>> Ooh, that is really cool. Yeah. So, on
  2176. 1:11:54turn three, we're still going to be able
  2177. 1:11:56to maybe get this runes card, grab a
  2178. 1:11:58common deer, grab whatever we need to to
  2179. 1:12:00be alive.
  2180. 1:12:01>> A Exactly. But it's probably too slow
  2181. 1:12:03because Rocky see one, so
  2182. 1:12:05>> Yeah. It's like, you know, there's just
  2183. 1:12:07we're just not Yeah, we're not getting
  2184. 1:12:09there right now. Okay, cool. Let's go.
  2185. 1:12:10Second seven. All right, so this is a
  2186. 1:12:14interesting hand. We've got two lands.
  2187. 1:12:16We have our discard outlet. We have our
  2188. 1:12:18bomb and neahal. Nezahal triggering off
  2189. 1:12:21really only Rossai. And it's on turn our
  2190. 1:12:24turn three that we're going to be able
  2191. 1:12:25to do this. So Rogai has either won or
  2192. 1:12:27been stopped by this point. We have no
  2193. 1:12:29access to a turn two study. And we have
  2194. 1:12:31very limited interaction in the form of
  2195. 1:12:33a misdirection. I don't really want to
  2196. 1:12:35let this hand go. And it also just we we
  2197. 1:12:37kind of just do nothing against these
  2198. 1:12:39decks, but I don't think it's a super
  2199. 1:12:40powerful hand.
  2200. 1:12:42>> Grand is very powerful. It, you know,
  2201. 1:12:44like the hand you see now is not the
  2202. 1:12:46hand that it will be in the next few
  2203. 1:12:49turns. Grand was like my MVP of like
  2204. 1:12:53invitational
  2205. 1:12:54>> tournaments.
  2206. 1:12:55>> Mhm.
  2207. 1:12:56>> Yeah. Someone had like I had like Mox
  2208. 1:12:58amber grand and then and then I played
  2209. 1:13:01like fish and then Zeke is like I'll
  2210. 1:13:03misstep it and I was like okay you know
  2211. 1:13:05misstep the fish and miss yeah misstep
  2212. 1:13:08the fish but I still had grand and grand
  2213. 1:13:10was
  2214. 1:13:12won me the game but u once again I mean
  2215. 1:13:15it's tough like the risk study is there
  2216. 1:13:16like
  2217. 1:13:17>> you could hope like I don't think it's
  2218. 1:13:19wrong to be like oh like I can curve out
  2219. 1:13:22to the rristic study and then
  2220. 1:13:24>> pray from there like it's it's not
  2221. 1:13:26wrong. You do have the stubborn as well
  2222. 1:13:28as counter magic.
  2223. 1:13:29>> But then it's like and who's stopping?
  2224. 1:13:31Who is who is I am a believer that in
  2225. 1:13:34forc you do need to help stop.
  2226. 1:13:36>> Yeah.
  2227. 1:13:37>> And solicit to your opponents to help
  2228. 1:13:38you help stop.
  2229. 1:13:39>> But Anamar is not helping.
  2230. 1:13:40>> No.
  2231. 1:13:41>> And Rock Thrash is just going to make
  2232. 1:13:43mana.
  2233. 1:13:44>> Yeah.
  2234. 1:13:44>> And if they're on Sam Black's version,
  2235. 1:13:46then they're not actually playing
  2236. 1:13:50interaction at all.
  2237. 1:13:51>> Mhm.
  2238. 1:13:52>> So it's up to us, you know. So
  2239. 1:13:55>> yeah,
  2240. 1:13:56>> it's a second seven. Are we second
  2241. 1:13:58seven?
  2242. 1:13:58>> We're on second seven.
  2243. 1:13:59>> We could go lower.
  2244. 1:14:00>> Yeah, I think so, too. O, awkward hand.
  2245. 1:14:03The stacks piece is phenomenal. Like
  2246. 1:14:04this rule of law. If we could play it on
  2247. 1:14:06turn two, potentially could be enough to
  2248. 1:14:08let us live, but we just have no mana at
  2249. 1:14:10all. The LED is great as well, but
  2250. 1:14:12really can't use it. If we had two lands
  2251. 1:14:14in this hand, it'd be a banger. We just
  2252. 1:14:16get to have Rule of Law into our card
  2253. 1:14:19draw, but with no lands, I think we got
  2254. 1:14:21a five.
  2255. 1:14:21>> Our probability is going up.
  2256. 1:14:23>> That is true. our probability is going
  2257. 1:14:24up. Um, okay. Interesting. So, we've got
  2258. 1:14:27a five here. We do have this force to
  2259. 1:14:30potentially be able to stop the Rockside
  2260. 1:14:32player. We have a discard outlet. We
  2261. 1:14:34have some extra mana that is probably
  2262. 1:14:36not needed on a five. We have our DT.
  2263. 1:14:39It's very awkward. This is like a turn
  2264. 1:14:42three.
  2265. 1:14:44It's not even really a turn three study.
  2266. 1:14:45I mean, it is if we draw a land, maybe
  2267. 1:14:47bottom like these two cards and say,
  2268. 1:14:50"Hey, I'm going to plan to survive and,
  2269. 1:14:53you know, blow Rocky out, but it's just
  2270. 1:14:56awkward." Like the hand feels really
  2271. 1:14:57awkward.
  2272. 1:14:58>> See, this is where it's like, is this
  2273. 1:14:59round one? Cuz if it's round one, like
  2274. 1:15:02I'm not afraid to lose. I'm I'll lower.
  2275. 1:15:04>> Okay. So, yeah, you'd say you get a four
  2276. 1:15:05here.
  2277. 1:15:06>> Yeah, why not?
  2278. 1:15:07>> Yeah. Okay, sure. Okay.
  2279. 1:15:10Well, that's four. I mean, we have our
  2280. 1:15:13LED. We could potentially, you know, go
  2281. 1:15:17with this plan. I guess [laughter] it's
  2282. 1:15:20really bad.
  2283. 1:15:21>> No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Uh, we
  2284. 1:15:24got to do the thing we talked about.
  2285. 1:15:25>> You want to You want to keep Chancellor
  2286. 1:15:27out of four? [laughter]
  2287. 1:15:28>> Yes. Yes,
  2288. 1:15:31>> we got to do the thing.
  2289. 1:15:33>> Okay,
  2290. 1:15:33>> we got to do the thing. [laughter]
  2291. 1:15:35>> Okay. Is this This hand is land
  2292. 1:15:38chancellor.
  2293. 1:15:39>> Land.
  2294. 1:15:40>> Land.
  2295. 1:15:41>> Yeah, we don't need it. That is the
  2296. 1:15:42discard outlet. Vamp.
  2297. 1:15:43>> We don't We don't even need
  2298. 1:15:46>> the vamp.
  2299. 1:15:46>> This is a bomb. We need a second land.
  2300. 1:15:49This is our bomb.
  2301. 1:15:49>> Oh, we can get a better bomb,
  2302. 1:15:51>> right? Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.
  2303. 1:15:52It's like turn one or turn zero, I
  2304. 1:15:53chance the table.
  2305. 1:15:54>> This hand, this hand is cracked.
  2306. 1:15:56>> This is cracked.
  2307. 1:15:57>> Okay. Because as as long as we draw the
  2308. 1:15:59land to play hash, right?
  2309. 1:16:01>> Mhm.
  2310. 1:16:02>> Then turn three, get the LED, and then
  2311. 1:16:04whatever we vamped for like Jenga.
  2312. 1:16:07>> Mhm.
  2313. 1:16:07>> We're back. We're back.
  2314. 1:16:08>> We're back.
  2315. 1:16:09>> We're back.
  2316. 1:16:09>> We're back.
  2317. 1:16:10>> Yeah. Like, so yeah. Get rid of this.
  2318. 1:16:13>> That stops.
  2319. 1:16:15>> It does stop.
  2320. 1:16:16>> Yeah, it really stops Rog's eye. Their
  2321. 1:16:18their turn one is land, cast rag, pay
  2322. 1:16:20one mana.
  2323. 1:16:21>> Yeah. So So now we play the land. Er
  2324. 1:16:25saga turn one. Okay. We have a better
  2325. 1:16:28Okay. We could uh we got we got a bomb.
  2326. 1:16:31We could vamptutor for the land at this
  2327. 1:16:33point.
  2328. 1:16:33>> Well, we'd have to play our watery grave
  2329. 1:16:35though.
  2330. 1:16:36>> Uh yeah, turn two.
  2331. 1:16:38>> Okay, sure. Yeah. So turn one we play
  2332. 1:16:40saga. Turn two. We get our spell snare.
  2333. 1:16:43We play our watery grave. We vamp. Grab
  2334. 1:16:46our command tower. Or do you want to
  2335. 1:16:47grab like an underground river for
  2336. 1:16:49villis potential? Like or do you want to
  2337. 1:16:50grab a a swamp or a island for days and
  2338. 1:16:55snuff out? Like what what land would you
  2339. 1:16:57get here?
  2340. 1:16:57>> I guess we already have our watery
  2341. 1:16:59grave.
  2342. 1:16:59>> We do. Watery grave is amazing. Uh we
  2343. 1:17:01can get like tarnished and just just in
  2344. 1:17:03case like converts the villator or
  2345. 1:17:06something
  2346. 1:17:07>> or it doesn't doesn't really matter as
  2347. 1:17:08long as we have the water grave.
  2348. 1:17:10>> Sure. So,
  2349. 1:17:11>> all right. So, we'll vamp for this land
  2350. 1:17:12and then we're going into our turn three
  2351. 1:17:14here. Saga search floam doesn't matter.
  2352. 1:17:18Get a lion's eye diamond. Then we just
  2353. 1:17:20chill. We just play our half.
  2354. 1:17:23>> Exactly.
  2355. 1:17:23>> Just chill.
  2356. 1:17:24>> We just chill. So, if we want to stall
  2357. 1:17:27out the game, Yeah. I mean, ideally, we
  2358. 1:17:29just we don't crack LED and we hope we
  2359. 1:17:31draw a third land. But, I mean, at this
  2360. 1:17:34point in the game, people are like we
  2361. 1:17:36could we could runcar demon for like a
  2362. 1:17:38fish and like It's not the worst plan in
  2363. 1:17:42the world, you know.
  2364. 1:17:43>> Sure.
  2365. 1:17:44>> Yeah. Cuz then you're able spell snare
  2366. 1:17:46as well.
  2367. 1:17:47>> Yeah. Like like people are trying to win
  2368. 1:17:50now, right?
  2369. 1:17:51>> So at this point in the game so
  2370. 1:17:55>> let's probably just crack LED rune scar
  2371. 1:17:57demon. Get a mystic remora. See if we
  2372. 1:18:00survive.
  2373. 1:18:00>> See if we survive.
  2374. 1:18:01>> Yeah.
  2375. 1:18:02>> People wanting less.
  2376. 1:18:03>> Oh yeah. All right. Let's do one more
  2377. 1:18:04and then and then we can wrap. Uh new
  2378. 1:18:06pod. I don't want to be in C4. Get me
  2379. 1:18:08out of C4. Give me out of C3. Give me a
  2380. 1:18:10good seat. All right, we're C1. Let's
  2381. 1:18:12go.
  2382. 1:18:12>> Okay,
  2383. 1:18:12>> Cat, Crystal, C2, Malcolm Vile in C3,
  2384. 1:18:16Italy in C4. Okay, so pod comp. Another
  2385. 1:18:20thing that's I I think quite important
  2386. 1:18:21is evaluating pod composition before
  2387. 1:18:23mulligans. I want to understand what the
  2388. 1:18:25texture of the game is going to look
  2389. 1:18:26like. Crystal being a little bit slower
  2390. 1:18:29version of Vivv essentially. Malcolm
  2391. 1:18:31Vile being a Grix's good stuff deck that
  2392. 1:18:33has Glenhorn combos and Aaliy trying to
  2393. 1:18:35win the game on turn two. So that's kind
  2394. 1:18:36of what I'm thinking going to this pot.
  2395. 1:18:38Yeah. So there is a Ether Sworn, but the
  2396. 1:18:42Malcolm Vile is just going to Glen Horn
  2397. 1:18:44win anyway.
  2398. 1:18:46>> So at Cat one, this hand is playable,
  2399. 1:18:50but it's like I'm sure we could do
  2400. 1:18:52better.
  2401. 1:18:52>> Yeah. I mean, the cool thing though is
  2402. 1:18:55contagion. Oh yeah, the contagion. I
  2403. 1:18:56forgot about the Yeah. So that does
  2404. 1:18:58actually then stop Okay, this hand's
  2405. 1:19:00actually super playable because it does
  2406. 1:19:01stop the only thing I was worried about,
  2407. 1:19:03which is the Malcolm Bile.
  2408. 1:19:04>> Yep. Yeah. So
  2409. 1:19:05>> yeah, the Crystal and Nataly both hosed
  2410. 1:19:07on C2 Aether Sworn, right?
  2411. 1:19:09>> Exactly. So I would probably actually
  2412. 1:19:11just play that.
  2413. 1:19:13>> Oh yeah.
  2414. 1:19:16[laughter]
  2415. 1:19:16>> Oh yeah.
  2416. 1:19:19>> Okay. And now I'm no longer in fear of a
  2417. 1:19:21tali.
  2418. 1:19:22>> Yes. [laughter]
  2419. 1:19:24>> For any reason.
  2420. 1:19:25>> Yeah.
  2421. 1:19:26>> Turn one, dude. Turn two, rule of law.
  2422. 1:19:29>> Yeah.
  2423. 1:19:29>> Right. And then turn three, we didn't
  2424. 1:19:32draw our land.
  2425. 1:19:32>> Play hash.
  2426. 1:19:33>> Play hash. and contagion something.
  2427. 1:19:36>> How many cards do we have in hand as
  2428. 1:19:38well?
  2429. 1:19:39>> We have six.
  2430. 1:19:41>> Six. Okay. It's always good to keep
  2431. 1:19:43track of if you have eight or six. Yeah.
  2432. 1:19:45>> Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. But yeah,
  2433. 1:19:47deal with deal with whatever thing is
  2434. 1:19:49not being affected by rule of law with
  2435. 1:19:51contagion.
  2436. 1:19:52>> Probably pitch would you pitch baleful
  2437. 1:19:54force over the doc?
  2438. 1:19:56>> I would pitch Doc O.
  2439. 1:19:58>> Really? Okay. So, you're really valuing
  2440. 1:20:00bleful force. I dude I think Billful
  2441. 1:20:02Forces it's it's like I don't know
  2442. 1:20:04someone could clone I mean it's not the
  2443. 1:20:06Doc O is not the greatest clone.
  2444. 1:20:08>> Yeah.
  2445. 1:20:08>> I mean I mean we could we can math it
  2446. 1:20:10out, right? So it's like if we
  2447. 1:20:11>> like we're basically we're drawing four
  2448. 1:20:13cards a cycle.
  2449. 1:20:14>> Sure.
  2450. 1:20:14>> Right. But the the is the issue with Doc
  2451. 1:20:17O is that it would refill our hand to
  2452. 1:20:19eight. So we draw only three cards
  2453. 1:20:21>> and then if we don't have like our hand
  2454. 1:20:24would basically just stay like at eight
  2455. 1:20:25is basically what I'm trying to state
  2456. 1:20:27like.
  2457. 1:20:27>> Understood.
  2458. 1:20:28>> Um yeah. So the billful force will draw
  2459. 1:20:30you way more cards.
  2460. 1:20:31>> Okay.
  2461. 1:20:32>> In this situation.
  2462. 1:20:33>> Yeah. And then go to our next turn.
  2463. 1:20:36Let's go. We did it. We have now access
  2464. 1:20:39to hless re researcher to instant speed.
  2465. 1:20:42That can give us the bellful force. It
  2466. 1:20:44can give us a consecrated sphinx if we
  2467. 1:20:46want to uh just dominate the game. It
  2468. 1:20:48opens us up to clones potentially. But
  2469. 1:20:50then again, we have the aether sworn, so
  2470. 1:20:52it's it's not bad. And we have a
  2471. 1:20:53solitude. Yeah. So you have a lot of a
  2472. 1:20:56lot of play with this hand. Sweet.
  2473. 1:20:59Awesome.
  2474. 1:21:03[music]
  2475. 1:21:04Okay, that was Hatchton. Let's go. What
  2476. 1:21:06a what a good deck deck. I think that
  2477. 1:21:08was sweet.
  2478. 1:21:08>> Awesome.
  2479. 1:21:08>> Hell yeah.
  2480. 1:21:09>> Yeah.
  2481. 1:21:09>> If you're interested in playing this

  2490. 1:21:26and really just doing phenomenal. I I
  2491. 1:21:28think, you know, just seeing the limited
  2492. 1:21:30experience that it's been presented with
  2493. 1:21:32so far, there's there's quite a bit of
  2494. 1:21:34potential for this deck to become a very
  2495. 1:21:36very strong meta deck. So, yeah, I'm
  2496. 1:21:38really pumped.
