GO FOR THE INITIATIVE, BOO! Legacy RG Initiative with Undermountain and Bloodboil Sorcerer (MTG)

Ойындар

I play a Magic: the Gathering Online Legacy league with a RG Initiative deck featuring Minsc and Boo! Mins & Boo Timeless Heroes is a great alternative threat card to the initiative creatures like Caves of Chaos Adventurer, Undermountain Adventurer, and Bloodboil Sorcerer. While the deck does have prison pieces like Chalice of the Void and Trinisphere, it is not playing them in game 1. This deck wants to get your opponent dead FAST in game 1.

    Hi Phil! Deck donator/5-0'er here. I think the deck had a good showing, it's very powerful and does have a good amount of play to it, as you noted in the wrap-up. Your original couple of video on this archetype really inspired me, and I'll keep working on improving the deck.

    I always love a good Chrome Mox -> Ancient Tomb deck! I really enjoy the idea of applying mana pressure with a T1 Trinisphere and beating the opponent over the head with a hatebear. Your showcasing of those sorts of staxxy stompy decks is what's gotten me finally interested in building towards a deck to bring to the LGS's Legacy events. Love these initiative lists, too. Thanks for all the great content, Phil! And for what it's worth, i personally really liked the Living Wish list :o
