If Sharkstill has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Sharkstill, then I am against the world. I love Sharkstill until my last breath.

This video highlighted not just the deck but also Bosh's explanatory abilities really well. Better than most other streamers, I feel like Bosh really explains his thought process in a clear and concise fashion. I feel like I learned a lot from this league.

God I love this archetype so much, great stuff as always

They didn’t cast Cathar Commando at 1:35:40 because you had Tef in play. They just said “oh boy” because they forgot and were likely supposed to get something else because of that. Like I think they should have just grabbed another recruiter or a flickerwisp

This deck was the first I ever saw on your channel, and got me into legacy mtg content. Gotta say, I’m glad to see it back. I remember you explaining the eternal dragon and why it was good and being so amazed at how much value legacy as a format could squeeze out of every card.

Been watching your vids for months now, just wanted to say a huge thank you for all the content you put out. Been watching mtg content for years and your channel is by far my favorite in terms of level of gameplay and commentary. Cheers

How to play a solid control game, while also playing not-quite-Magic, in the same deck. I love this archetype - no shortage of threats in an otherwise hardcore control deck. Deciding between building Sharkstill, Yorion Food Chain, and Doomsday in paper is going to be really hard. I guess with the first two there is at least a decent overlap of cards, so one can turn into the other at half cost?

Happy to see the cast of recurring side characters/ batman viliians expanding

Yesss I love this archetype

A 2hr sharkstill video? I'm literally drooling.

“Clap clap, Hardstyle - nice top deck.” ;)

Looking at Expedition Map, Currency Converter, and Standstill, was there some consideration for the Neon Dynasty channel lands? Otawara seems like it would be pretty good in the shell, especially if Opponent has some action under the standstill you can interact with.

Probably the softness to wasteland just isn't worth it. As we saw in this league, and something Brian likes to talk about a lot, these UW control decks just fall apart if they get wasted and so they really can't afford to run too many non-basics. The deck is also really good at spending it's mana, Brian only really died to mana screw not flood, so you're quite happy to just playing land drops and making bigger sharks. In decks that don't care as much about getting wasted or have some actual risk of getting flooded the channel lands are fantastic, but here they're more likely to kill you than be super impactful.

@@emctwoo My question is whether the channel lands would be worth "spell" slots in the deck. Then who cares if they're soft to wasteland, they're "extra" lands you can draw in a pinch but that's not their main purpose.

@@Fyrefrye If they're being used primarily as spells then they're probably just too expensive. 3-4 mana conditional/bounce removal doesn't really cut it compared to plow and prismatic ending. For decks that can run them primarily as lands, getting to turn a land into an over-costed spell is great in the late game, but out side of Boseiju the rest are too high cost to really run as spells (and even then you still need to be ok playing Boseiju as a land a good chunk of the time).

this is such a fun deck to watch

I remember playing against a Standstill deck in paper, I'm on the play, he goes turn 2 Standstill and I flash a Coatl in play and almost go the distance before he has to Plow my Snek. Good times.

9:00cst on the dot, like clockwork

1:13:52 "no bridges?" Just like the meme lmao

56:18 I wonder about the Prismatic Ending here. Since the plan was to find a red source, wouldn't it have been better to draw and discard with the Converter? Was the potential of delirium DRC too scary?

50:09 - play the vista for the basic island first, flooded strand second and then you've lots of great options for the next land, instead of limiting yourself to two basic lands like you did

Comment of the day! Displacer kitten is in the corner going "but I thought you loved me? Bosh like nah babe, you just my fling. This my wife"

That game vs Delver was great

You’re the reason I built this deck.

Any thoughts on currency converter 2 over the retrofitter? Retrofitter always seems so medium to me in lists like this (haven't played much with it, so also willing to believe I'm wrong).

I was listening to this deck whilst I was dreaming. I dreamt about a delver/sneak and show transformative deck for a GP in Brazil. Jonah Hill was happy to let me borrow his deck until I didn't sideboard. I did some practice games in home depot.

I couldn't tell if there was any strange buzzing, but if there were, then my usual high-pitched background suffering noises were loud enough to drown them out lol

You need to make a team, and call it The Cantrip Cartel.

This build seems pretty strong, but it could use a few minotaurs and digeridoos to really up that win rate

I could see cutting at least 1 of the deafening silence for sure. Having 4 Force of Wills and 4 Force of Negations with 4 dedicated combo hate cards seems a bit much. Especially since most storm nowadays uses the graveyard so bringing in 1 or 2 anti-graveyard artifacts is kinda expected. Wonder if cutting 1 for a second supreme verdict to help in the matchups people go wide is needed. Seems the go wide creature strategies and red decks that just go face would be the main weaknesses of this deck so having 5-6 cards for those doesn't seem crazy in the board. Hard to jam a stand still and out card advantage them if you can't ever get the board under control in the first place.

sharknroll is back!

Loved the video, and this is my favorite blue deck in the format, but the dredge matchup makes me sad. Dredge is my favorite deck in any format, but it can't even win game ones reliably anymore.

Seems like converter is so much better than retrofitter in this list that we might not need retrofitter main and could rather move soul guide lantern in.

@1:46:43 A clear mistake was at least sequencing so that you didn't Waste their Karakas when you knew Yorion was coming down. Also aiming the double StP at Yorion instead of Mom, who you really needed to get rid of. Also I think you should've gone for the Shark Typhoon kill earlier.

Really dumb question because I haven't played MTG in a while. at 1:39:40, couldn't you have used swords on the recruiter forcing him to make it protection from white which would have prevented Yorion from targetting it to blink it?

@lightworker2956

I'm not a cEDH player, but an obvious problem in cEDH is that you only have 1 Standstill in 99 cards. So it's not really worth to chuck your deck full of cards that work great with Standstill and that can force the enemy to break Standstill, because you only have 1 Standstill in 99 cards, as opposed to here where you have 1 Standstill in 15 cards. My guess is that if you have a good cEDH deck that coincidentally happens to be good with Standstill, chuck it in. But building around Standstill seems iffy.
