WotC, pay attention to this channel because this man will make A LOT of people start to play MTG I stopped playing waaay way back (got Chandra vs Jace set in 2008) and I think I'll come back just because of Mog here you guys need to make Mog oficial and pay him huge loads of money 💪😌

What are your thoughts on doing a video about your deck-building process? Not exactly everything step by step, but in general high-level terms, say a viewer wants to try to make a deck of their own, what are some things they should keep in mind? What components (again in high level, generalized terms) should a deck contain? When you've built a generalized skeleton of a deck and you're test piloting it before refinement, when do you decide that a deck needs certain changes vs conceding that some weaknesses must be permissible because it can't defend perfectly against everything?

I always recommend swimstream (Swim in KZread), the best deckbuilder I've seen talking about this topic. Even the videos were uploaded from years ago. Basically the idea is to make synergy between cards, think a little about where is going to be the power spike of the deck, do some math and thinking about the cards so you know how much copies you need... You can build a deck around one card or synergies from other cards that will join others. Normally the deck types are aggro, control, combo and midrange. Sometimes "value" decks can also work but it will depend on the game, winning with the huge value that some decks create. When you have all this in mind, then you can make some problem-solving, making little changes to counter the meta. The best deckbuilders just by theorycrafting they got very close to the final version of the deck. I hope it helps you.

The match against Naya was so intense! Love turnaround games such as that.

Geez i wasnt expecting to have a new favorite MTG youtuber anytime soon. But Mogwai had to come out of retirement and show everybody how its done 😅

Bravo! Excellent games as usual Miguel 🐐

What a game vs Dinos!!!

Love etrata for dimir, built this when MKM came out. Lots of fun!

broo insane 4th game there, that was so stressful, love the deck

Bro I’m in love with Etrata the Silencer. I got a sweet deck with her and ton of bounces to bring her back. Cool to see another Etrata deck even though it’s extremely different. Keep up the videos, missed your MTG content.

Been looking forward to this deck

I skipped all the uh. Snap. Or whatever the Marcel game was. But magic is my Jam. Glad to be watching again.

I’m so happy you came back to MTGA. I’ve missed watching your vids. For a long time you were the only streamer I watched for MTG content. I was watching you before I even knew who CGB was. lol.

Hello, I just wanted to say that I started playing again thanks to you. I stopped playing MTG as F2P around the same time Runeterra was released, and after a few years, I quit entirely. Snap didn't interest me, so I thought my time with card games was over. If you're looking for ideas on how to attract new players, I'd recommend rotation-proof content. With my limited resources, I can't afford to build most of the decks showcased, and when I do decide to invest, it's an "all in" situation, making it pointless to build something where half the cards won't be playable in standard. (PS: A rotation-proof BLACK+GREEN control deck would be great)

Good stuff! Black is my MTG color as well. Just came back to MTG and I’ve been playing mono black in standard and discard mono black in explorer. Been following you since Artifact’s days and migrated to MTG->LOR->back to MTG. Couldn’t really enjoy the Marvel Snap though, but glad you’re back to MTG now.

bro is back and stronger than ever

loving these types of deck but really struggling trying to get cards to create it lol

Yeah, MTG ain't cheap. :[ I try to showcase a big variety of decks so that people can craft a few of them if it suits their playstyle. I don't think most people watching can afford to craft them all... but they can make the ones they like the most! Despite it's flaws, MTG is a game worth investing into IMO.

In comparison to other CCG i find the draft mode very generous and a lot to my taste by chance, i would suggest diving into it as a new player if you haven't. It also has the bonus to help discovering the cards and mechanics. My collection is growing almost exclusively of of it i never buy packs and i'm very happy with the rythm it is expending at (still in comparison to other cards games, cause yeah comparison put aside it is still a bit slow to my taste)

@@DangerZoneeee That's good suggestion! The fact you get decent amount of cards just for starting is very nice. What particular Draft Mode you would suggest, Quick Draft or Premier Draft?

@roy4173

@@antongrigoryev6381 you do need 4 wins or more before premier outpaces quick draft. But if you can maintain that 4 wins+, you'll expand your collection faster this way. If you're just starting out, I would strongly recommend quick draft first though. If you're going completely free to play, it is also way more sustainable than premier draft. There are also other factors to consider beyond the cost though. The convenience of time (given that quick draft uses bots for the drafting portion), you can draft and pause as needed. A more regular rotation of sets (you'll not get a chance to pick up cards from older sets in premier drafts, QD will rotate older sets every couple of weeks). But if you want wild cards and sheer bulk number of booster packs, you enjoy drafting with other human players, and you have a pretty solid grasp of drafting, then premier is where it's at.

Would love a continuation video for the Starter Guide. That video was great for getting first decks, but how to go from that point? With so many cards, I get quite a decision paralysis, it's hard to decide on what to build and how. And just grabbing an already-created deck from you or somewhere else isn't simple too, as it seems most good decks run a shitton of rares. Like the yesterday's deck, I kinda liked it and wanted to craft it, but it requires almost 30 rares! Even after replacing all the Rare dual-color lands with common ones I still would have to spend almost all my Rare wildcards if I were to craft that deck.

I was wondering if you would play a deck like this. Thoughts on building a deck with The Pride of Hull Clade?

Thanks for the vid! As a quick question about creature choice, was there a reason to choose the Stingblade Assassin (Flash, Flying, 3/1 w/same effect) over the Rooftop Assassin (Flash, Flying, Lifelink 2/2 w/same effect) from Outlaws of Thunder Junction? Basically trading the extra point of toughness and lifelink in exchange for more power from what I see Hardly breaks the deck but I got tons of the Rooftop guys floating around. Thanks again!

I'm in love with this deck man, have you thought about potential replacements for Aven? I really don't wanna spend rare woldcards on that and see him rotate in a month

I love when is a Yugioh game. Drop to 1 and epically draw with the heart of the cards to win.

😂 always worth watching 👍

Another day, another cooking session!

So, actually, flipping up the bat in game 5 wouldn't've done anything. The card isn't entering the battlefield, it entered the battlefield when it was first cloaked and you're just flipping it up, so it wouldn't get any ETB abilities

I wanna see a deck made into the Assassin's creed set that will come soon

who would've known that a reptile would give you one of your best games in mtg

When are the 3hours deck brew coming to youtube. Another channel maybe ? It would be interesting to have the twitch VOD

I was thinking about the Archfiend of the Dross. Since he's already on the field, when you flip it he doesn't get any oil counters... does that mean that it can't make you lose the game, because you can't remove an oil counter, or would it make you lose the game at the start of next turn, since the second part of the ability verifies that it doesn't have any counters left?

Can we get a poison deck?

I have a question for you Mog, what are your thoughts on the alchemy format? I know you are doing a standard only focus, but since you play a lot of online games and you enjoy (good) balance patches, I would have thought that it would be a format you would enjoy more (I am still a newbie in MTG, so idk how good or bad the balancing is in alchemy, I just play standard for the time being)

@adamgalloy9371

20 күн бұрын

Alchemy just doesn't tend to have as large (or competitive) a playerbase. For the most part, it's simply because Magic is also a paper game and so the community (especially the competitive community) tends to prefer Standard which is consistent across both play-styles and has existed far longer. A lot of enfranchised players saw Alchemy as kind of pointless when it was introduced since it was very close to Standard, and felt it created an unnecessary rift in the community between paper and digital players. I believe Standard also has the deeper card pool (3 years worth of sets vs. Alchemy's 2 years) which some players may prefer, but that's a relatively recent change to Standard. TBH I've played very little Alchemy for largely these reasons. I got into the game through paper and Alchemy just never felt like it offered any reason for me to check it out (especially since Standard is really good right now). That said, there is nothing necessarily "wrong" with it to my knowledge and if anyone has given it a serious try I'm curious what they think of it. Another thing that really soured Magic players to Alchemy is that the Alchemy balance patches affected the non-rotating Historic format making cards that were perfectly balanced in that higher power format suddenly unplayable with no refund offered. Hope that was a somewhat helpful response.
