its kinda ironic how some players will rope almost every turn and think its ok (CGB, others) while others are so desperate to play ultra fast if you take 5 seconds theyll concede. Maybe Arena should have "rooms" or options like "only fast players" or "no yorion-borion"

LVD doesn't play fast, but it's because he's thinking through things. It's annoying to play against, but it's not ever worth then wasting both your turns in spite. Especially not when you do all that showboating and you don't even know you've won and you just get BTFO'd.

Just got done finish MWM on my multiple accounts with your Teysa Brawl deck from the MTG Arena channel. This deck looks awesome and some sweet games. Great editing and commentary as well, nice to see you roll that Etali deck. Thanks bro. Always entertaining.

Yeah, when I came across the "regenerate" mechanic, it was very unintuitive as to how precisely it worked. What seems obscure is the text that says "the next time this would die..." when it only seems to be sensible to activate *at the time* it would die. Perhaps it's just the ambiguity inherent in what we call in the English language the "subjunctive" mood (would, should, could, etc.). It's unclear what the practical implication of the subjunctive conditional is (and I skipped that one in my logic courses, lol). In any case, regeneration is intuitive enough, once you use it a few times. Great deck - and that "your go" was super funny; love the cueing of the music whilst opponent figured out how to use their gobs of mana lol.

@slavecek

2 ай бұрын

That is exactly how regeneration worked when Richard Garfield designed it. You would pay the cost at the time the creature would die, and then instead of dying, it would become tapped and fully healed. It's my understanding that after the 6th Edition timing rules, there is now no time slot available between the creature taking lethal damage and dying, so you don't have any opportunity to activate regeneration. So as a workaround, they invented the concept of the regeneration shield that you need to apply in advance. But it was never originally intended to work this way.

That's very helpful but I still want to know more generic info like what kind of creatures do we mostly need or standard mana carve etc. As far as I know, you're one of the best MTG players so I love to see more your tutorial video.

Drawing the artifact on turn two messed up my sequencing a little bit, but generally would've been better to wait a turn. This gives them a chance to draw into a relevant spell for us to take, such as removal or a cheap ramp artifact.

There's not many people who deserve the sting of Skyritherix but somebody who says "your go" x2 every turn is chief in my mind among the most deserved of targets. When zoomers get on Arena and get impatient it annoys me because MTG is a game that requires at least 30-1hr minimum to complete and you multiply that by the Commander as some are quick and join a horde of haste bears or anthems but even then there's SETUP. Unless I am taking a deliberately annoying amount of time IE salt roping. >.> Though I only salt rope salt ropers to troll them. Respect your opponent!
