I used to have a Charbelcher as a surprise finisher in my Goblin deck. Drop a Recruiter, place all the deck's Goblins on top, all the mountains at the bottom. Pay mana, heads explode.
Went to mythic this season playing belcher in Bo3; main difference from this list is running Leyline of Sanctity mainboard but no Karns. Karn is better in the mirror, but Leyline is nice against all the black decks, and can be sacrificed to Beseech on the combo turn. All that said, I think for Bo1 Karn definitely looks like the way to go! Thanks for another awesome Timeless video.
Okay now THIS is how magic should be played! LOL Definitely love to see the variety you always offer here on your channel, especially with Timeless! It definitely feels close to Legacy sometimes with the power levels! Its so awesome to see so thanks so much man!!!
Yaaay! My favorite deck of the formar played by my favorite player, what a day! I like a one of irencrag feat to beseech for and then charbelch, it can theoretically be cast with the trinkety artifacts too, but that's just my silly two cents. Those Karns adding consistency and possibly finding alternative win cons are really cool. Amazing gameplay and deck building as always!
I actually strugle more with rare, have above 40 mythics wild cards just by playing standard ranked. Rares are core in any deck tech, so you use those wild cards a lot more. I end up building the entire deck with some uncommons and utility cards to fill up the cost and it works. What does´nt work is dual uncommon tap lands... you need your dual rare lands, any deck suffer a lot when you dont craft them. So there is when you lost a lot of rare wild cards.
@@MarKarda I just use them the moment I have enough for something I might want. 2 mythics? Time for sideboard blood moons. Sorry full playset of uro to complete my sultai deck, you’ll have to wait
Hi @LegenVD! The audio is a bit off with this video, there is some frying. You might want to check your mic or setup for some dysfunction. Gameplay-wise... it really looks like you are setting up the tone in Timeless. GGs
@@LegenVD Thank you for the redo. tbh I stopped after the 3rd game because of the frying, so I dont know what you re-did. Maybe some app/tool could decrease the frying sound without you having to re-do whole segments. Might be quite a lot of work to redo the audio on your own. Thank you for caring about the audio quality of your vids. It s appreciated.
That's a good point! Would need Belcher as opposed to Karn for it to work, so perhaps a little narrow but can definitely think of situations where it would've made a difference.
Quite a few decks with Dark Ritual can technically win on turn one, but it's going to happen very rarely. This deck could get there with double ritual sacrificing any artifact to Bargain, to then cast Channel and win with Charbelcher.
@11:42 That's what I dislike about Arena. It's so easy to jump into the next game that there's never really a reason to not "GO FOR IT"! If they don't have it you win, otherwise, it's another turn of worse possibilities.
FWIW, in match 3, your opponent was pretty likely to have a play of fire that they could have cast instead of bowmasters. I think both lines were pretty unlikely to work, burn player just had too much mana to work with from the Ragavan. I don't play timeless so not exactly sure on the burn list but I have to imagine there's more instant speed burn than just the play with fires?
In all fairness, not facing a single Thoughtseize in seven games of Timeless is not going to happen a lot. You also only faced one opponent with counterspells and that poor soul managed to keep a hand that could neither apply pressure nor meaningfully interact with you. A small note on the glasscannon-nature of the deck should be given, I believe, given Thoughtseize is one of, if not the most played card in the format. But, among fellow combo decks, Belcher is fairly consistent and hard to interact with as only hand or stack disruption will deal with it, or very specific hate cards like Pithing Needle. It even dodges Inquisition.
Thoughtseize is behind Bowmasters, Bolt, Bauble, Ragavan and Fatal Push in terms of popularity. It’s in about a quarter of decks according to Untapped. Counterspell is pretty far down the list and has
It looks to me like Timeless is a format where deck building must be a really interesting and rewarding experience, but the gameplay is repetitive and dull af. Somehow you make it entertaining, but I can't imagine myself playing that format.
