Hahaha. Thanks man. Look - I’m not out there disputing with creators when people make similar decks and don’t expect people to go around crediting cool synergies to whoever happened to post it first. That was a one-off I was going to flex a bit, since the 3-card combo (using an old card) did well in the Pro Tour shortly after I made it and advertised it in the original video as an original combo. As in that was a one-off exception for me :)
I re-watched that controversial video and learned a little something from other vids. I am sure the pro simultaneously discovered the combo, deck lists were due in on Wednesday (JIm Davis source) the day you posted your vid. But you did not have to wait for the pro tour to find something to make a vid on, so Kudos for being ahead of the curve and making original stuff. The few times you have used other's decks you make it clear, it is not your own. Speaking of flexing, you certainly have been using a lot of mythics from the new set. I have my playset of Simulacrums so was ready for this day. Others have posted Simulacrum lists, but waited on yours to try the card.
I posted 4/22 (Monday). Submission deadline per rules was 4/24 (Wed). But if he says he made it seperately, I believe him. I hadn’t seen him say anything about how he thought up parts of the deck at the time I initially posted - and either way, happy I saw it same time then :)))
@MythicMichael honestly bro, I think you're a pretty funny guy, I love your content... please keep flexing into the camera! Just wanted to make you laugh.
Gotta hand it to you Mike. This one is one of the best, using cards I didn't even know existed Also funny you keep calling it the red bird deck. It's slickshot!
@MythicMichael I'm thinking of trying build without Simulacrum, doesn't seem to synergies with thw Geardrake. Been trying to make a viable Geardrake build since day 1 of MKM, just can't seem to crack it unless it's in a Grixis Anvil deck
I have a gleamdrake deck from last season if you take a look. I believe it is on my Top Budget Decks Playlist, and not sure if holds up - but was solid when I last played it! :)
Care to see if you can make mercenaries work? Rakish crew death triggers, vial smasher pings. Have a decent build but sure you can do better, fun to play for sure.
Haha. Thanks man! And that’s totally fine! I’m not arguing with creators about who posted something first (irrelevant) if people use similar synergies which happens all the time haha. But if a few days later this deck does well in a pro tour, I’m at least going to mention it! :))) lol. Zoetic is interesting but isn’t an artifact itself so won’t trigger it unfortunately!
Quite a different take than what I've seen. I spent a lot of wild cards trying simulacrum decks and unfortunately I've been rather disappointed. I run into way too much artifact hate and shuffler wants to really screw me.
Yeah - I was slow to like the card, but any card that pairs with Dowsing Device I need to try! And ended up feeling quite nice with the Frog and Goblin Archer :)))
@@MythicMichael I always love the budget / artisan decks I played u/w simulacrum vs u/w artifact. I was down to 16 cards and only saw 1 of 3 simulacrums. They never played 1 despite digging with fomori. Shuffler has really liked burying them on me
