I'm loving this miniseries, it's great content! Makes me tense up even just watching and really throws me back to tournament play; love that mental and physical feeling.

Bant decks are such 50/50 across the board, but your tight plays puts you over the top

I have never more wanted another player to win so much before.

I normally never finish the videos but I'm enjoying these to the end. Super good.

The last time was really heartbreaking, but it was really unlucky. I hope that this time you will get it.

Can I just say that the difference between your level of play and my level of play is so apparent here. That match two where you were SO patient with the Seeds? Unreal. I would've slammed that door so fast, and probably would have been wrong. Well done.

Great video Brian. Love the channel and the podcast. Looking forward to next episode of the Eternal Glory Podcast :)

Something about these two videos have been so suspenseful, there's nothing in it for me, but I hope you win next league. It will be very climactic if you do.

The warm high 5 of variance. I love it.

These were some great matches. Looking forward to the next instalment.

Thanks again for the great league! Very inspiring!

Only watched the first match so far but that game 3 was great. Well played

great games. i am rooting for you in round 3!

Not sure if you covered/saw this, but Oracle was in their hand with the Massacre at the end of Match 5. The "hand" and "library" texts are not the easiest to read, especially when you usually get to rely on deck size for distinguishing.

Yeah a few people pointed that out. I was def disoriented somehow.

People talk about how DRS wasn't a problem, and how Ragavan isn't a problem. It's a "git gud scrub lolololol" situation from the neckbeard community that says he's fine. He is another one drop creature that does WAY too much for WAY too little. It's card advantage, mana advantage, and resource denial all in one card. DRS was at least less egregious in that it took a turn to activate, and had to have material in the yard to work. Doesn't change the fact that it's a one mana planeswalker. Rag is just a poorly designed card for Legacy, and I can't wait until WotC finally sees that he's a problem and does the right thing. And if he goes, I would still not mind to see Daze go too.

Let's get that cash flow 💰💰💰

Looking forward to round 3!!! Thought I'd put in a request for you to not put the 5-0 result in the title if you make it so it will be as fun to watch as the first two!

1:24:26 I think you confused the library and hand, here. Massacre Oracle were in grip, Emrakul Delta were in the library. It didn't wind up mattering, because you didn't go for the Loam line anyway, but if you had you would have been guaranteed to lose there

also: i'm not sure if you've mentioned this, but if you're on Seeds of Innocence in the SB, Collector Ouphe is probably better than Null Rod, to avoid the awkward scenarios where you want to both cast Seeds and keep the effect. I also think Deafening Silence is better in place of Canonist at the moment, as it hits both storm and 8cast. Silence getting hit by Chalice can be a little awkward, but I think between the Endings and Witherblooms you should be able to ignore Chalice for the most part, giving Silence more reach than Canonist

Has anyone thought of playing Kataki, War's Wage in Legacy against these Saga decks? It's like Tabernacle for their artifacts, and is essentially a Tabernacle for the Constructs, but it hurts them pretty bad on the early turns. I know it's just a 2/1, but that's a solid beats plan that can slap the construct plan by knocking them off mana, and it can stop the second construct by making them pay for the first, as well as making it so they may not be able to pay for the tutor target as well. It also interacts REALLY well against the 8 Cast decks by ruining their mana base.

@BoshNRoll

2 жыл бұрын

Kataki is powerful early on, but in the later game they have enough mana to pay for their constructs and a few artifacts to keep bashing. Something like Collector Ouphe to turn their mana all the way off or Seeds of Innoncence/Pernicious Deed/Dress Down are more reliable tools for the job.

@DarkestFiction

@@BoshNRoll and playing enough Kataki to ensure you're drawing it live isn't worth the games where you don't have it. Would a split of Ouphe and Kataki be a viable thought to try? Also, Seeds is probably one of my favourite pieces of tech to come out of Bant/Green stuff as late, I'm glad someone picked it up to try.

At 16:05 you talk about either casting Veil then Deed or Deed and then Fluster if they have a force, but decide against it because they could pay for the fluster. My question is, couldn't you just cast Deed first, then Veil if they force you? That way you get the card off Veil and they can't pay their way out of it like they could with Fluster. I'm sure there's a good reason and I'm just missing it :P EDIT: Maybe playing around Force into Daze on the veil? EDIT2: Daze on Veil literally happened later that same game, so that's probably what I wasn't considering, hah!

@BoshNRoll

2 жыл бұрын

It’s about safety vs greed. The blowout play is Deed first, Veil the Force for the 3-for-1 then Deed for another 2-for-1 (virtual 5-for-1 with what the Sagas represent) and leave them in the dust. But if they have Force and Daze, you lose your Deed and your Veil and get buried by Sagas. But if you Veil first, you put it on them to “now or never” with their counterspell. If Veil resolves you get to KNOW your Deed is cleaning up the board. If they Force the Veil you get to 2-for-1 them there then reasses the risk of casting Deed or spending a turn deploying Narset to Deed in the future.

Enough true name kills where I expect to see plague engineer in many sideboards.

1:00:40 was it better to shuffle Ponder into Strix here to get 2 new cards after the shuffle over Strix into shuffle Ponder seeing 1 as Strix hit the known Jace? I get Strix first removes the Jace so Ponder sees 2 new cards versus 1 but unsure which line is more correct lol

Question: in what situation having a flusterstorm instead of force of negation is better (having in consideration you would need to crack a fetch to cast fluster therefore losing the force of negation on top)? Love the content! Im a stoneblade player who stopped brainstorming without fetches thanks to you, lol!

My answer would be when they have a Force or pact themselves. Even though force hits more things and exiles, fluster requires veil, second fluster, or trap to stop. Most combo decks, especially when you see Delta require an instant or sorcery to go off. And a majority of those that wouldn't thoughtseize you turn 1 also run protection of their own. Doomsday is a great example of this. Force runs better against fair matchups in comparison to fluster in that sense because it can still hit artifacts and enchantments, but also 2 for 1ing yourself in a fair matchup is not where you want to be.

It messes up Saga in terms of only giving one Construct, meaning they have a 1/1, and not 2 2/2 creatures in play. It slows down the gameplan of beatdown with tokens.

at 12:10 you have it wrong how it works on mtgo. the ragavan still returns to hand, it just returns on your end step, instead of your opponents.

1:09:15 You didn't cast Ending on a construct to protect your Narset and later said you thought Ending would find a better target, what did you have in mind? Managing the constructs in face of Loam-Saga with Null Rod on the field comes natural to me.

@BoshNRoll

This matchup is primarily about Exploration. You can out-grind lands with the tools in your deck, but not if they're pulling ahead on overall resources. They also occasionally have Choke as a hammer out of the board. Unless I'm dead on board to the construct or have a counter for the next engine card, I'd save ending for those.

Imagine a poor take on how control decks play, and this is it. It's not "no one plays Magic," it's about shutting down the opponent's game while advancing your own. If you want a "no one plays Magic deck" then look at Legacy Stax or Landstill. Landstill is LITERALLY no one plays anything and you beat ass with Constructs, and if they DO play anything, they gas your hand to deny their plays. There's a reason the matches he plays go to under 10 minutes on his end, and frequently less time in some matches because of the amount of Magic being played.
