@@BenCragg1 This post listed all the missing cards at the latest Pro Tour: www.reddit.com/r/MagicArena/comments/1azsv3n/magic_pro_tour_chicago_all_missing_explorer_cards/ Of course there are a lot more cards in Pioneer, but these are some of the more relevant ones.
Playing against this deck usually feels bad, but I've been doing okay with my sideboarding! Awesome to see you pilot this strong deck! Love seeing the Explorer content too! Appreciate you tons, man! 🤘
Notification squad. Blue red creativity never not going to be good but I’m happy they banned the amalia combo and the Sorin combo. Might have to give explorer another look.
I love explorer! There's a deck you made awhile back for standard, mono-blue ninjitsu artifact aggro that was so good, I'd love to see an explorer version of that deck now that Kamigawa has rotated out. Love your videos!
Not sure what the Amalia combo was, but if appears Explorer is just a combo jungle. This is an Izzet combo deck; Phoenix is a combo deck; there's that +1/+1 counters combo deck; Ygra and kitty combo; etc.. Maybe Amalia was banned because it was easier?
Yeah the Amalia combo was very easy to assemble with cards like Chord of Calling and was very resilient. Besides being powerful the combo had a bunch of other issues, like games sometimes ending in a draw because you would get stuck in an unbreakable infinite loop if someone cast a pump spell on Amalia to get it above 20 power.
@@LegenVD OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH, it was that deck. Okay, yeah, the ban is understandable. Thank you very much for taking some time to explain. Much appreciated!
lets go xenagos creativity coming back, have to dig this one out of my deck archives again then again i'm starting to prefer selesnya angels in this metagame
