For a collab? Say yes, last one with you guys was great

Long ago in a distant land, I, Akul, the Scorpion Dragon Master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil. But a foolish outlaw warrior stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow was struck, I sacrificed three creatures, and flung an Etali onto the battlefield where my evil is law. Now the fool seeks to return to the past and undo the future that is Akul!

But that would’ve only been good for one attack, which he got through anyway. The chump blocking from Gleeful Demolition blowing up Skrelv kept him alive 👍

Rutstein's Flavor text "No questions. No refunds." is quite funny. Especially because you said "That is value. There is no question." when your opponent had it on the battlefield.

@@darken8649 Fs in the chat is a reference to a video game with a funeral scene. During that scene, a prompt appears on screen that says "Press F to pay respects." Posting F means somebody lost bad (died). Crokeyz and CGB are friendly and collaborate on videos sometimes. Crokeyz's response is just having fun.

As soon as I saw this match in crime video I was so excited for this one!

Ah Juzam Djinn 🤌 I'm feeling nostalgic

This deck looks awesome! I’ve been looking for something my style to get into standard and I think this it!

Akul is the one card in this new set thats really making me want to get back into magic. Thanks for deck, i'm considering sleeving it up and throwing some cardboard around.

He's not that good in 60 card formats. You have to have him, a bunch of one drops AND a big creature in hand, to make it happen. Otherwise you'll be just playing a mediocre rakdos deck, with splashy spells and no way to cast them

Between seeing Molten Duplication in action and now this Akul card, I’m taking another year break from Arena as I did when Alchemy was introduced 😔

Of course; when you play against Crokeyz, it's naturally going to be a BO3.

Its great seeing your first reaction to reading Corpse of the Lost. In your "Skeletons broke the Outlaws Early Access event!" video you said you were skeptical of the deck the first 2 times it killed you. Idk, you seemed pretty confident you were dead once you read that card lol. Love the videos!

Hahah the double game against Crokeyz was brutal

Akul the Unreprinted FTW

REALLY,.... T4 & you have 4 Demonic creatures. Da 🥜z opening hand for sure. GG

You should put the recruiter in this deck. That way you can give etali haste.

I really want to see you play a full Praetor deck with as many praetors as u can ❤plz make that happen 😂since you love triggers the triggers would be insane!!!😊

"If I find a demon, I am READY!" --> Has no demon, has no card to cheat out with demon :D

​@@yavivanov6650 But you can slam and activate Akul off of Gleeful Demo on turn four, and then Burn Down the House for devils and activate Akul again on turn 5. And BDtH's other mode is a good savior against aggro when the Akul plan is floundering because you had to chump away all your critters.

Skeletons got you, but monored would have closed the deal way faster. Akul is a cool creature, but as you said it yourself, a gimmick. There's no chance it will top 8 at the upcoming Pro Tour, in fact I'd be shocked to see anyone invited feature this card in their 75-card decklist. Monored looks like THE deck to beat (sadly... we could use some other deck to make a statement once in a while, aggro has had quite a showing in the past decade) based on other content creators. Well that's exactly what early access is for - trying things out and see what works.
