"They are basically a creature deck and my deck is good against those" -Me, moments before going 0-2 against fishes.

Still thinking about that U/B deck in round 3 that came out of nowhere. What an intriguing pile of cards!

I would love to see that Dimir planeswalker deck played if you ever get your hands on the list

Dimir Planeswalkers huh... I smell a dono

You say that there's not a lot of flex slots but I only hear the sweet birdsong of Yorion

Good one! That’s the right call

One other point is that staff also creates tokens for a second staff. You went from 11 token producers to 14 with post league changes, which could matter for the draw effect. It's a reason to play four

That UB deck in round 3 was awesome.

Sad to see Standstill not performing well, but not surprised, given that a lot of the factors making it look bad haven’t changed since your last Hornstill video. 😢

R3 opponent has great taste Dimir Planeswalker Tempo with whiteborder basics❤

11:20 I honestly think that the plan of removing the vial is not current anymore. With 2 cards in hand of villain, I guess you must remove a 2/2 because you know you're losing this game with what is coming next. Removing the 2/2 saves you 4 to 6 life for sure while removing the vial will not help you win if I'm not mistaken (based on the cards on top of your deck + the deck your facing + the board texture) It happens to me a lot when I'm waiting to draw a card in order to do something, I'm like HEY :D boom! forgetting about how the game developed and the new options. (This is valid if you think there was a play there of course 0:-) )

Always here for the standstill content, even if this deck was a bit of a miss. Love it as always!

Seems like urza saga would be good in this deck (-1 heliod, -1 karakas, -1 shark, -1 currency)

I’ve tried builds with Saga before. It eats up too much of the mana base and you don’t really need more things to do under standstill.

This is what I've been waiting for.

13:00 If you had brainstormed differently, you could have had Narset in hand instead of Staff. At that point, you would have been able to Plow a creature then cast Standstill. Force Of Will their trickster pitching Narset. Then, assuming that the opponent doesn't have Daze, and doesn't pop your Standstill, you could buy a turn by chump blocking with a 1/1 shark typhoon. Then, as soon as you draw a white land, you stabilize with Timeless Dragon.

What a perfect Monday morning gift

Love your content always; this was no exception. I don’t disagree with your plan of trying this without standstill, however I think you’re too quickly dismissing standstill as a separate archetype. Looking back at these games, currency converter felt extremely suboptimal, and the masks didn’t do much. I would love to see your take on standstill without those. More verdicts is a must to catch back up against creature decks. Also I think counterspell is not a good legacy card currently. Dovins veto has been surprisingly good in that slot for me. The most important targets are noncreature anyway, and it allows you to present a post board plan against red blast decks that mostly ignores their countermagic. Please keep the island ponder content coming!

Something I've wanted to see tried in these UW or RUW standstill decks is 1-2 copies of Sun Titan at the top end. It may be 6 mana, but these games can go long and it recurs a lot of the key pieces of your deck. Converter, statdstill, staff, Narset, wasteland, and fetchs are all able to be brought back by the titan meaning it gives you value the moment it enters even if it doesn't stick around. A casual combo I've seen with Titan-standstill in the past (a friend had the deck and I think called it "SunStill" or something) was he ran a set of Phantasmal image. He could copy our best creatures for 2 mana or he could chain-reanimate every copy of Image he had in his graveyard with a Titan by copying the Titan and having the new one bring back another Image.

i play a version of this on legacy and honestly that feels like it would just be a win-more card. i can see it if it is the only win-con along with shark typhoon but it feels too slow compared to other options IMO. for reference i play a weirder brew that runs Urza's Saga and some more artifacts for my finishers as another way under standstill and that just seems strictly faster and more powerful at making a dense board than going that big (while also adding tokens for staff)

Maybe second verdict is wrong but I have always had one in the board.

The league really sucked but it's always a lot of fun watching you play Sharkstill. I guess it's time to cut Standstill, I look forward to whatever you name the deck without Standstill.

I wonder if the new MOM shark eill finally allow the things that I wish Hardcast Shark Typhoon was used for. Probably in less powerful formats and not Legacy tho 33:32 What a fun inclusion!

Wouldn't have kept a 1 lander against that black prison Deck. And sadly counterspell is just not a good enough card anymore. Still thanks for uploading great content so frequently! I'm also trying out staff but without standstill and sfm, not yet sure if it's just cute or gonna stay. It's fun and new for sure 😁

Round 3 opponent jammed a bunch of Force of Wills and Baleful Strixes into their Pioneer deck and called it a Legacy deck.

You're mashing em together? Cool!

Is Court of Grace good top end for the Staff? Get the Monarchy for cards and feeds the staff for more cards?

Is there any play to trying delay in this list?

You conclusion that Standstill ist just not a great card anymore reminds me of the time in 2010 when people started to cut Standstill from Landstill because they thought it wasn't a good card anymore. Maybe you're right but I notice the same thing now that I noticed back then: people were cutting all the cards that made Standstill good. Back then, Landstill would run a combination of like three to four manlands, Wasteland or Dust Bowl, Decree of Justice. I see that especially without Humility (which a lot of Landstill decks played), Shark Typhoon is a strict upgrade but do you think that maybe cutting manlands and only one Wasteland may be the wrong choice? I really liked that back then Landstill could just drop Standstill on turn two because we knew our deck would be able to operate so much better than the opponent's.

i feel like threeferi is missing....

Hey! Thnks for amazing content. Question: why dont unplay mystic sanctuary in such decks?

@BoshNRoll

Жыл бұрын

Out of 13 mana-producing lands, 6 of them aren't Islands. You need lands 2 and 3 to come into play untapped. Even if everything goes right, the spells you want to recur are Shark Typhoon and Standstill, not your instants and sorceries. It just doesn't fit the plan, Hall of Heliod is doing that work for this deck.

If we cut standstill and want to keep converter, is it time to consider Urza’s Saga?

@salutoris

Dont think so, you already play a lot of manasinks, saga would just be a tutor or/and occasional 2/2. You could probably switch the one of wasteland for a saga though

Yeah. I've respected people when they've praised stand still, but it's really just a 2 mana draw 3. Which is good but with the hoops you've got to jump through, is it legacy good?

Tad bit salty we didnt see the Elemental deck. Smdh

Game 1 shows why i hate Prismatic Ending.

Seems like you should've forced that ethereal forager, card seemed better than you gave it credit for.

bosh pack smoke em if you got em

ok i genenuenly think it would be interesting to have a deck that is playing around 3-4 Supreme Verdic. its one double white and yo go ore into that with the story teller. plus its really good against a lot of different decks.

1:00:30 But I like Standstill :(

I heard you like drawing cards...
