​​​​@@CardmarketMagicwhy on earth did you search for a Ball Lightning instead of a Lightning Skelemental when you had a swamp and no mountains in your hand??? You knew you weren't drawing a red source, you were drawing the elemental you just put at the top of your deck! Lightning Skelemental is even the better card! Also, why are you searching up an elemental to the top of your library before you have enough mana to cast that one or the one already in your hand? Wouldn't it be better to get a land to cast the first one and then search up another one after when you can cast it? And bring back the first one using the recursion in your hand in between? Doing that would also have let you already drawn the Terminate when you needed it during the third game

We had once planned to do these yearly. But when we got a bigger budget, we realized what people managed to fit under the budget is always so much more fun than whatever tier deck with a worse manabase that we could get out of 500-600€ decks, so we opted with doing this far more often per year, but keep the 100€ budget that way we get to give more decks and the submissions are much more creative :)

Oof. That turn two Erayo is back-breaking! Very neat catch of the deck creator to recognize how often a low-curve artifact deck is able to just vomit out their hand. Definitely a bit of an all-in play but still really cool. That being said, both decks are super neat and I love the creativity on display with 'em!

Obviously Thoralf is an exceptional MtG player and we get to see that on this channel often enough. But, I often get the sense Jamin could be that level too if he wanted to commit to it. Seeing that line of play to flip Erayo in game 2 was beautiful.

Such a pleasant way to learn of the existence of Lightning Skelemental

as a regular edh newbie this is a great method of introducing to non-arena "standard"-like formats, with brief explanations of the decks and cards in it

Grabbing a Ball Lightning instead of Skelemental with {R/B}{R/B}{B} available and the Terminate at sorcery speed were certainly choices that were made in game 1

This reminds me of when I first started playing magic in the early '00s. A friend who'd been playing for years showed me his aggro deck with ball lightning and it blew my mind. It was so much cooler than the Lightning Elementals I had from my dinky 7th edition starter deck. Also, spot on that it's impossible to say Lightning Skelemental without a smile.

TEMPERED STEEL, THAT'S THE DEAL!-) Big fan from the very first print. Thank you, guys, for bringing back the memories:)

These two are always really fun to watch together

Best MTG channel not slowing down!

The lifelong battle of: "This deck has some well thought out synergies and a general strategy for controlling the board and building a proper army of buffed minions" versus "I shoot you in the face with lightning". Classic.

I loved this matchup, just nice budget magic to entertain us. Keep up the awesome work please

I think stuff like that game 2 shows how important a strong mana base is. The kind of mana base in a meta modern deck very likely wouldn’t have had the lack of an extra black holding it back from the interaction it needed to pitch an inquisition into a terminate

These are so clever, this is the best MTG content on YT
