This seemed kind of gimmicky, until I saw the combination of kitten and teferi bounce a huge board fairly, then go off and win the game on the same turn. This card is insane with planeswalkers! Edit: and the animate dead loop with yorion? Pokimoki is a mad genius!
GGs. I was the Aluren Player in round 1. This deck seemed sweet, and I was hoping to see this video later. I feel ya with the clicky combo decks. I love the deck, but can't stand to play it on MTGO because its so easy to time out with.
The real MVP here seems to be Strix, turning all your non-creatures into cantrips is insane. Owning the board against aggro pressure and keeping you up on cards against control is just wild.
I somehow feel yet again this effect (or at least something similar) should've been on a white card... Not as much as Hullbreacher, but man do these EDH sets are a punch on the kidney for White
Mad respect for conceding round 1. You always talk about how the clock is part of the game but it’s really unfortunate how mtgo is so clunky with Combos like that.
At 1:02:30 a fun line would be to play kitten. Then the next turn you can cast dress down to flicker EE which comes back on zero so you can destroy the germ with no abilities. Unless equipment granting abilities gets around dress down (layers?). Though that line would guarantee you to be at 3 life unless you want to block with the Engineer. At least the Narset line you took gave you the chance to preserve 5 life.
sweet deck defiantly probably should have kept yorion over the kitten a couple times but i get trying the new thing. awesome video and im interested to see if this deck is actually going to be a player in the format
Food for the algorithm. This is a very cool deck. I always enjoy the control decks with a "I win" button and this one is very interesting! I wonder if there a version coming with the white worldgorger dragon and animate dead?
still Game 1 match 2 you could create 2/2 blocker for -1 with elspeth when you play it and block the arbor instead of -2 to remove the coatle, then you have a creature advantage and aren't losing the planeswalker the next turn (since you can +1)
at 1:27:35 is it better to wait for the Uro to attack? They get an extra card, but then you can both plow and wandering emperor, to guarantee that you exile it. I guess if you're going for the win con of "deck them with Uro triggers" this might be worse, but surely just exiling their only displayed creature is better right?
13:22 When you use 3Feri to draw without cracking the fetch, you saw the third card was a land. I point this out because I think it's the first mistake I have seen you make without realizing a second after clicking, wich says a lot about how well you play, one of the many reasons I like your videos. In your defense I didn't expect the 3feri to resolve either! Or maybe I'm just becoming a super pro out of watching your vids and reading the matrix, both scenarios are equally possible right?
Spoilers: There's a flavor of this deck coming with a red splash that is a freaking nightmare with red blasts and Ruination out of the sideboard. Brian thumped me with it this past weekend. Dunno how long (if ever) 'till that video...
Not with the Displacer Kitten flicker. There's no window of time in which anyone gains priority between exiling and returning. (Unlike Yorion's slow flicker)
I would have created a Samurai at 35:40 and blocked the Dryad Arbor rather than exile the Coatl. It does give more graveyard cards for Uro, but you end up with a 2/2 vigilance in play and they just have a Coatl.
Game 2 match 1 why don't you play / or decide not to play Bubble after Ponder? so it avoids drawing you that extra land you don't want. There is no rush in my opinion
It would be powerful with cat, but we’re kind of already winning if we’re doing cat stuff. And with Oracle we’re literally winning if we’re in Teferi town. I have a Jeskai version with Mentors dropping later this week, similar idea but in a shell built for it. :)
I sent you a link for a UPS on Discord lol buy one and make sure your router and modem are connected to it so when you lose power you still have internet
