Hello and welcome!!! MTG JEFF is a Video Game Channel focused on playing the Magic: The Gathering card game on MTG Arena. My main focus is to have fun palying magic. I brew and build janky, fun, and hopefully entertaining decks. I hope you enjoy our content, if you do, SUBSCRIBE!! :)
My first introduction to LitRLG was primal hunter and I have been hooked I binge read all nine books and am waiting to the 14th for book 10 to drop. Highly recommend it
For me DotF fell off hard after the tower… I got through book 9 and put down the series. It got really dry and repetitive. It felt like book 7-9 should have been only 1 book.
A list of some good other ones, my own favorites. Most these i'd recommend in audible format as the voices are great. All the Dust that Falls. -Comedy LITRPG about a roomba isekai. Sounds stupid but super fun. Beneath the Dragon Eyes Moon -Super indepths Healer focused LITRPG MC A bit heavy in the morals but actually faces the downsides to not killing , Victor of Tucson and Falling with Folded Wings - Two series in the same universe with cross overs, great LITRPG series. Unbound - Big LITRPG title rates up there with defiance and he who fights monsters levels, Primal Hunter - Another big in depths title A post apoc litrpg, Underverse - Grimdark LITRPG, a bit explicit that one 18+, Thats just to name a few of the big big ones of LITRPG. In depths , world building, deep characters and plenty of plot and most have over 6 books in each series. My thoughts on these favorites.... While Defiance of the Fall is pretty good, The rest for me were either too 'light' with very little detail or very little fleshed out characters or very campy with emotional issues. Like Carl, dude has way too big an obsession with his cat. Like when he's killing anyone who looks at his cat wrong and constantly going 'you will not break me' it just gets annoying. Same with He who fights with Monsters,Jason just gets more and more preachy and self hating longer it goes on. Constantly spending most the book going over his 'I'm too dark' stuff. Path and Iron prince are good but they are just average, Path tends to just skim rather than really go indepths. It's a fun light read but it moves as a super fast pace like...years go by in a single book in each of the later ones.
Thanks for this video! i just bought alot of the doggo cosmetic bundles in the arena summer sale and decided i needed a doggo/wolf deck. im wondering if there has been any cards that have dropped since this that would make this deck even better than it already is. Or maybe if youd suggest any other doggo style decks? Looks like a fun deck and i cant wait for the server maintenance to be over so i can give this deck a try.
wold love to see this deck updated, now that bloodletter of aclazotz, insatiable avarice, rush of dread and even caustic bronco exists, and with agresive investigator even to generate clues on discard, or the crime sinergies
Came here because I keep ending up dropping series from lack of focus on the main character. Multiple povs are just too annoying to deal with for me, and it's hard to find anything even touching the sides of The Primal Archer, Defiance of The Fall, and Terra Nova + the tower series by Seth Ring. Everything else seems to have problems where the plot either shifts entirely, growth slows, multiple povs are introduced in a way that makes the main character have less than .33% of the actual writing, or the character making choices that are just downright boring or clearly not what would make them the most powerful. I'll check some of these out, hope they do well!!
Bought one of the box decks from toys r us back in the day with lorescale. My first built deck was based off it and I’ve definitely had a 30/30 and a 40/40 with trample before.
I started watching for magic. But after the last video i checked out a couple audiobooks and loved them! So now im here for both videos and cant wait to see what you recommend for audiobooks!
I'm running a version of this as my main deck. Some cards I find useful in getting the combo off: Deep-Cavern Bat: It's cliche, but it really clears the path. If they have spot removal, they hit the bat, not Calamity. If they have a board wipe which is usually the bat's weakness, it's a sorcery and usually rather expensive which opens the door for the combo against control decks. Vein Ripper: It's nowhere near as flashy as Terror, but it's much harder to kill. The trade-off when saddled with Calamity is that instead of dealing 20 damage on entering play, they deal 12 as they leave play, opponent can't really chump block with 3 of them on the field, and you get lots of healing. However, I have a graveyard theme going on so I'm also running: Cruelty of Gix: Finding a combo piece is good in general, but having a piece revived for free on the turn you're going for the kill is very useful. Lively Dirge: Put combo piece in graveyard and is great value in general. For 5 mana, it can put Aclaztoz onto the battlefield from your deck.
Dang, I was really hoping this list would work out more consistently, but I know it's hard to do anything fun in standard queue anymore. Sweet combo though!
First time watcher, fun deck! I'd suggest moving your camera to where your creature is (middle left) like CGB does, this way it won't cover over your artifacts and we can see what they are :)
I agree that a lot of the LitRPG genre could use a couple review passes by a good editor. Its almost a defining feature of the genre to me. I guess its because a lot of the genre is self published.
So happy to see some badass uploads from you! Taking someone to -55 while being at 1 is the ultimate “gotcha” comeback moment. Great deck and hope you’re well :)
This is exactly why i loved you as a content creator for magic, you like to find and play fun decks and combos. You arent being held down by the "meta" of it all. I know it leads to lower view counts or less wins in the video but for me personally i prefer this over seeing the same mono red or same ramp deck posted 4 times a week. Hope to see you keep putting stuff out there Jeff <3
It's nice to hear from you again! I've been off magic as well. the memories of getting into magic with your videos are nice though. I hope you keep finding joy on your path regardless of what you are doing
