The Zoa is the end and the beginning

33:00 - When talking about trigger order, Tabernacle grants the sacrifice ability to your creature, so all the abilities are yours which means you can put them on the stack in any order. This also means you could cast esperzoa and return another creature before paying for it.

Tabernacle's ability is "destroy", not "sacrifice". It usually doesn't matter but it can.

This difference has caused many creatures to be lost due to missed trigger rules

Life is like a penis. Sometimes hard for no reason.

Sad we didn't see The One Ring combo with Esperzoa, but the big jellyfish still made me smile. I especially enjoyed the Phil noises in round 4, from disappointment at 25:54 to happiness at 29:49.

I mean, at some point, if simulacrum synthetizer is going to consistently keep being a 3 mana scry 2, maybe it would be a nice video idea to go look for something else to put in these kinda decks?

I had a deck built around this card in Magic Duels years ago. Rad to see it again^^

Chrome Mox out, 3 Mox Opal (probably 1 Mox Opal + 2 Mox diamond) + 1 Lavaspur boots in. Also consider maindeck Pithing needle

one of my fav decks is still a kitchentable aggro deck i brewed centered around glazefiend, painsmith, esperzoa, and 0-mana artifacts that i could keep replaying to get buffs. good times

I know it's bad but I really like brass knuckles with simulacrum

This was a fun deck.

Can’t wait to see Ugin’s Binding wreck boards soon.

3:41 i used commandeer in the arena chromatic cube to steal a villainous wealth for x=8 to flip a sure loss. Excited to see if itll do anything in this league!

I have seen Commandeer used against tendrils decks. Let them storm up to 10, they cast Tendrils of Agony, you Comandeer it, you win. A silver bullet which works even if you are on the draw.

I'm really glad I rung the bell because I didn't see this in my feed today

you had me at jellyfish

I took have brewed with this jellyfish. Nice to see it in a legacy brew.

Esperzoa was an all star of my first mono blue edh deck, I used it to loop things with fading like tangle wire, and rejuvenation chamber, cumulative upkeep like naked singularity, no it wasn't good, and it was a different time.

I think frogmite could've been a good add if this deck was actually based on esperzoa shenanigans

not having any number of phyrexian metamorph is wild. Maybe the answer is to go all-in on synthethizer and play frogmites, metamorphs, myr enforcers and a crapton of artifact lands with something like ensoul artifact on darksteel citadel as a backup plan. IDK. .

He has played something like that last time he picked up a synthesizer list. Not going to spoiler you the vid, you can watch how it worked out.

Well, colour me intrigued. A little bit skeptical but i am curious to see how we do.

I feel like we're getting closer to a real deck here, just hasn't all come together yet. Always enjoy some brews.

idk about those chrome mox with just 8 main deck cards that can be imprinted

0:40 thats what she said!

The Enunciator

Have you tried the borderposts from alara with synthesizer?

Obligatory algorithmic contribution

Im just gonna choose to believe the wins were cuz of the jellyfish

Weird question here. Do you think like the meta is graveyard heavy enough to start main decking leylines again? Like - it hosed parts of every deck that you played against this league; delerium, reanimator, beseech combo, crucible and loam... It almost feels like it hoses at least some part of most decks in the format right now barring mono red prison.

Esperzoa is a card i remember FISHING (...) Yes Phil never change

can you explain to me why you dont bring layline agains Scam?

also....pun intended on the intro?

I brought an Esperzoa/Paradox Haze deck to fnm because I'm a sicko

Why only 1 jellyfish?

Lol, Phil you played ONE Esperzoa and called it an "Esperzoa deck"?? I think we both know that's not really accurate.
