Sometimes watching Phil play is like watching a musician, or a surgeon. Other times, like in game 3 round 3, it's like watching a butcher while he ruthlessly attacks their manabase
For a quick second in round three I saw the tendrils and storm count 19 and thought "wait is that enough to kill?" And then remembered tendrils is not grapeshot and 19 is absolutely enough to kill
You can also have Thespian's Stage copy Urza's Saga, then on the third turn, copy a different land and still be able to make construct tokens for every turn afterwards because of layer shenanigans.
@@Mentir42 Actually, it is a layers interaction. The Lore counters and the abilities that Urza's Saga gives Thespian's Stage is on layer 6, while Thespian's Stages own copy ability is on layer 4, which is why Stage can continue to make construct tokens even after copying a different land after it was a copy of Saga.
You talked me into lands with the videos about a year ago. Now I’ve finally got all the cards and having a blast. Dropped marit first turn a cpl days ago! Love the content dude! You and Bosh are the best mtg RU-vidrs!
Lands is the kind of deck where you can win any matchup. A big part of Magic is playing to your outs, and Lands has a lot of them. One of the most fun decks across all formats.
This gave me an interesting idea. If you could build a deck around Blood Moon - Dark Depths interaction... 1. Play Blood moon 2. Play Dark Depths (comes into play with no counters because blood moon has removed its abilities) 3. Destroy or bounce blood moon somehow - State-based affect of dark depths gives you an instant marit lage You could combine this with other such instant marit lage combos like vampire hexmage / thespian stage / etc. This concept could be really good in a red/black control shell.
I love your content but I'm not a fan of the 1 by 1 card reveal of the decklist at the beginning. Its just longer than I have to skip to see the deck and then games.
I reckon that, as a legacy creator, you have to balance catering toward enfranchised legacy players and those new to legacy. The new format falls into the latter camp
@@alexanderglasgo8163 can confirm I've recently started making content again and I got chewed out for not doing a deck tech even though I'm definitely one that skips it every video.
@@LucksackGamesI think maybe the complaint was not about the deck tech overall, but rather the new(ish) intro segment where Phil talks about a few cards one by one without the full deck on the screen. I also skip that beginning part, but I usually watch the full deck tech.
I felt you on game one. My least favorite deck to play against is 59 removal/control spells and 1 wincon they just have to dig for. Such miserable gameplay. Id much rather just lose to a reanimated Grislebrand on t0
2nd match 1 game . why didnt you map for boseiju pop bloodmoon get a 20/20 and you wouldve blocked fury be alive with 2 life and win . unless ive mistaken something
Lands is a damn pain to play, a lot of slogging. With the power, idk if you think this RG build, or the white build with sphere pack more punch? I do think this shows that lands is also very hard to play against if you are not on a combo like TES or Doomsday, just a annoying different angle that no other deck really has!? *I cannot afford to play with rings, or the orcs really, so D&T and Lands are what I will be on.
51:50 An incredibly funny interaction would've been to use your Map to get a Grove, tap the grove for R to heal your opponent back to 13 and killing the orc and its token with the Punishing Fire instead of aiming directly at the Death's Shadow.
