FINALLY THE NUTS! | Arena Open Day 1 | MKM Karlov Manor Sealed | MTG Arena 

That’s Ba Magic (TM) by!

The nick of your first opponent translates to Bolete Beater.. (From Finnish to English) and also to .. well take a guess.. :P I wonder why you immediately sidelined Goblin Maskmaker.. Those little good citizens worked just fine for me.. Especially with Delney.. I even gave one a thinking cap to make him brave enough to attack and got two mana discount from the attack and opponent scooped (in disgust?) to my one mana disguise play that I had not even realized I could do until after combat.

He did get the nuts showed right down his gullet tho.

That's what she said

Could be a deck that stomps! But yeah, usually it means flood or starve and get blown out RIP

@@Nickowski I've seen some streamers do that where they add some empty time to the end of videos to avoid spoilers

That's Magic, Baby!

My biggest beef with magic is the variance of the lands and how impactful they are on a game. It doesn't even feel good to beat an opponent that got land screwed or flooded. Awful feeling when you pay gems, critically think how to put together a deck, make the best lines and the you just lose 1-2 games because of land. That's magic baby, yep a pain-filled statement to cover up an all around shitty game mechanic.

What if they separated lands and nonlands and each turn you could choose to draw from one pile or the other

@@mitchellkrever421 that would just slow the game down by cutting the speed in half, it would feel awful to play. It would introduce some interesting strategy I'll give you that. What about two piles, one for land, one for all your other cards, and you automatically get to draw and play a land every turn? Then the truly better deck would usually win.

@@mitchellkrever421i heard there was a tcg that does that, called force of will or something. heard it also has its own pros and cons

Finally, he's nuts!

oh... I see

😂

Instant, gives Double Strike +1 +1 Common great format

combat tricks just really overperform in this set. everything has ward, everybody is trying to get a board presence and taps out, so blocking really just feels godawful. I remember when combat tricks where like the thing you begrugingly put in your mediocre aggro deck lacking removal, now its like almost all decks just want at least one.

@@AlkonKomm also in normal sets combat tricks are almost always 1 for 1s where you get the tempo advantage cause you killed their creature. In this format there are so many combat tricks that also investigate making them 2 for 1s. I've thought about this a bit during the format and I think it is part of what makes control decks a little harder to build. A control deck typically is going to 1 for 1 until the late game, when they get to start playing 2 for 1 spells to get ahead, but when your aggro opponent can start 2 for 1'ing you on turn 3, what is the point of building a control deck is kind of what you have to ask yourself? The way I see it, is if your control deck doesn't have an over the top style late game, then you should have just been an aggro deck with tricks that 2 for 1.

Then you don't play a lot of paper magic or cheat at shuffling.
