I mean, its a control deck. Countering a turn 3 ramp + removing the future adventure with negate is the right move, especially since LVD was playing a creature deck. Negate's future usefulness would have been in doubt for the oppo, so its best to run it out there.@@merke323

Blink decks are my favorite archetype ever since Reveillark combo back in the day, and I'd been kicking around the idea for a new Standard one for a while when developing my pet deck gets to be frustrating, and I completely missed the Prototype creatures in my Scryfall searches. What a cool addition!

I was so eagerly anticipating the third depopulate to be met by the third swift spiral. I'm so glad it actually happened.

i tried to build a blink/ return deck just earlier today. i didnt see enough options to make it work, but you did! bravo

Cool deck. Certainly a unique brew. Thanks.

25:40 that was funny as hell. wasnt expecting it

Wouldn't it make sense to run 4 Spirit Realm's, because you can use them as protection-spells?

Yeah love a good Azorius deck! Now to build it...

Loved the deck great video!

I can always count on you to craft the most fun decks on Arena ^^

I feel like this new 3 year standard has really thrown some fire on your deck brewing lately.

I really wanna see an Esper build that uses Virtue of Knowledge, Elesh Norn, Mondraak, Twisted Sewer-Witch, and Warehouse Tabby. Witch ETB on stack x3 First resolves, create two Rats bc Mondraak. Create two Wicked Roles on each Rat. Only 1 Role per creature, two Roles fall off. Opponent loses 2 life. Tabby makes 2 Rats per Role that goes to Grave bc Mondraak. +4 Rats. Witch ETB 2 resolves, creating 2 Rats. 2 Roles per Rat. 10 Roles fall off (2 each on the original two Rats, 1 each on the remaining new 6) Opponent loses 10 life, Tabby makes 20 Rats Witch ETB 3 resolves, creating 2 Rats (30 total) and 2 Roles per Rat. 38 Roles fall off (1 each for the new 22 Rats, 2 each for the previous 8) opponent loses 38 Life, if they're still alive somehow, make 76 Rats (106 total)

you already know CGB would love this deck. He will prob build his own version of it.

This feels like more of a SaffronOlive deck to me. He's all about the Panharmonicons.

Ngl. I was thinking of something similar-ish myself. In particular, i think the twins are highly underrated. When combined with Steel Seraph, you have 2 potent flying threats that can cause a lot of damage. Most decks cant handle fliers that well, allowing you to push past stalls. And since both are (potentially) vigilant fliers, it makes them even harder to deal with.

I do believe I played you in Platinum tonight screen name Enigma/Flux. I randomly played mono black, grull no new cards and mono red (my version) cant remember what I was playing but your odd deck kicked my ass. Anyway I just made mythic with mono red celebration. Cheers!

I think it might be worth it to splash some green for Lagrella. Exiling your own prototypes and then flickering her is insane value especially with combat thresher since it just turns into a 5/5 double strike. She might provide that extra oomph to close out the games a bit quicker.

5:31 would it have been better to bounce the wedding announcement since it was about to flip and would be a large mana investment to replay, or is reducing opponent's creatures just more important?

I've not seen anyone else try this yet, so I'mma start by asking you. Have you tried a multiplied burnout strategy with Phyrexian Vindicator yet? Where you try to get cards like City on Fire, and Solphim, Mayhem Dominus on the field alongside Phyrexian Vindicator. Then you can your opponent with a lightning bolt. Lightning Bolt, hits Vindicator x3(City on Fire), then turns around and multiplies x3 again as Vindicator's ability aims for the opponent or something on their field, with another x2 if there's a Solphim on the field as well. Like that.

It’d be nice if you had some budget friendly decks

Budget decks on Arena usually equate to monocolored aggro decks. Monoblue is probably the best Standard deck that can be built with the fewest rares. I've covered it a while ago and the deck hasn't changed much since. kzread.info/dash/bejne/mWtmj8ePhdXPdsY.html

So what is the ruling for prototypes coming back as their "better version" after being flickered?

@TheDoubleA12

8 ай бұрын

They will come back at whatever power/toughness in the bottom right of the card (i.e the bigger one)

match 3 was so good on both sides, holyshit

i might be wrong, but at 16:00 can’t you exile twining twins, play the adventure side to blink your prototype creature? i realie it’s one less blocker on board but if you recast twins out of adventure afterwards you’re drawing way more cards

@LegenVD

8 ай бұрын

That was an option, but it was important to keep our 4/4 Vigilant Flying creature in play. The game won't last long enough for the extra cards to matter all that much.

Just asking out of curiosity, isn't it better to cut a few steel seraph and removal for a few golden argosys?or is it too slow for the current standard?

@michaelcorser4350

You could consider it in the sideboard for bo3, but bo1 is like 50% monoR where that card is useless.

What I've noticed about this set us that ALL the good cards are rare which are very hard to get, even the mythics are trash compared to the must have rares.

@@1who4me its called anti-consumer and poor assbagery. Mythic rare was supposed to be their cash cow cared but they have made so much over powered junk and then stuck a rare on it all because you can buy mythic packs from the store. Arena is a joke and just used to nickel and dime either customers. There is no love and passion or fun in magic anymore. The rewards you get for playing a free to play game are so meager its insulting, their anniversary gifts where just an op to get new people to buy old cards. You have to pay a ridiculous amount of money to enter any kind of worth while event for cards that Wizards in guaranteed to make obsolete when they inevitably release arena to with no card porting function. Call me it what you want but wizards suck and there are other ways to make a business without literally scamming your customers.
