44:00 "Most of blue white's removal is exile-based removal or enchantment-based removal, meaning that Thresher is likely to survive-" It's always great when Paul's opponents have a sense of humor.
I think my dumbest draft was a 4color reanimator pile. I had Unholy Annex, 3 Valgavoth's Faithful, and bunch of Leeches and the room that makes your lands all-color. I was surprised it worked.
I don't like double pipped two drops in general. They underperform relative to the rate on the card from my experience. If i can consistently play it turn 2 then I would absolutely slam it.
@@markatkinson9791 Yeah i don't care for that kind of effect from something that costs 2 mana. I'd rather just have a 4/4 for 4 if that's what you're looking for.
I've come up on Altanak a lot. Good god is that thing insane even without Say its Name. This format is usually slow enough where it will shine. I had Charred Foyer in my FNM draft and it was actually ok in my boros deck where if they started to stabilize I could still keep in the game, but I've come down on it since.
I think survivor has a higher ceiling than beastie but beastie has a higher floor. And personally I think you have to go for the high ceiling cards in this format
In the conversation about terramorphic vs the RG dual - Isn’t it the case that choosing a dual in your colors basically helps with a splash anyways? Essentially you can run one less mountain or forest and one more of the color you end up splashing, if any.
Terramorphic gives you the ability to get up to 3 different sources though which helps out a lot when creating a proper three color manabase. Terramorphic + basic = 4 colored sources, r/g lands + island = 3 colored sources. I recognize the value of a land producing multiple colors at all times but I think terramorphic is definitely more valuable in 3 color decks.
"Foyer" as with most fancy things, the English term comes from a French root. The original pronunciation has a silent r. Also another English-ism, whatever the common usage is becomes the official language, and in America people don't respect the silent-R, and so the "as written" pronunciation is also technically correct in America.
Keys to the house when you're not splashing is not great, and when you took that room card, it prob should gone out too, even if you want delirium. I think the deck would've been really cool with 3 Defiant Survivors.
It sucks charred foyer performs so badly. It's won me games as many times as it's been a dead card. It just really depends on what kind of opponent you have. If you both have heavy interaction hands and end up in a top deck situation it just gives you so much card advantage to out pace the opponent. But if the opponent has more value than you have interaction you end up playing defensively it just becomes a dead card because it does absolutely nothing on the turn you play it.
I like to let people make the final swing and then Full Control before damage just to concede. Or ill quit before the declare attackers. It might ruin their climb in daily challenges lol
