I LIKE THIS ! Are these lands skins that you bought? or we can find them on an extension? have a good day sir
Glad you enjoyed, there will likely be another Arabella deck in the next week or so... And thank you for the thoughts on the video quality, I'll do some tinkering and see if we can clean it up a little
thanks for the video, i love Arabella, i'll try your deck for sure! +1 sub can you try to record your futures videos in better quality / bitrate ? even in 720p on youtube, it's seems like 480p Thanks, have a great day sir
Interesting deck. How much playtesting do you do before recording? From your end comments, it sounds like we're seeing the first run of the deck. I know it's a bunch more work, but maybe you could hold off until the deck has had some playtesting before you put these out. I've said it before, but I would like to hear commentary during gameplay regarding how you're piloting the deck. That would really make the videos more interesting.
The comments are just showbiz presentation, I've generally put in 15-20 games before recording. And it seems you keep checking in on my off days ..this is the one and only video since Duskmourn released that does not have commentary
Good stuff, as always. I guess WotC thought that red aggro wasn't fast enough for some reason???
Upload is blurry, try and reupload at 1080p.
TY for the advice!
Nice deck Dork....:-)))
Way too many lands for a 3 drop curve. Also, you should run spells to protect your guys
watching without audio or comments is quite boring.
@@angellestat2730 I understand..... Unfortunately, due to environmental issues I'm unable to do commentary during the games right now... But it will be returning later this month
Looks like a fun deck. New sub!
Nice in-budget deck! Congrats!
Good stuff!
@@Kaneo_3987 glad you enjoyed! Feel free to look at my videos from just before Bloomburrow came out, I posted two different Historic roots decks
Cool list. Thanks!
@@ok_ninja glad you enjoyed!
very cool, might try this as a test case to see if a budget deck can get you to mythic next month
I know I don't say it every time, but I always enjoy seeing your new budget decks!
please put commentary during the gameplays that was grueling to watch all of those even more so because the win rate was not very good just awkward silence, i understand you are small in the YT community i am not being mean to be mean just some criticism that i hope helps.
@@clb3b366 there are some.... Environmental issues that are currently preventing me from being able to do commentary during the videos. This issue should be resolved within the next month and I should be back to doing commentary soon.
@TheManaDorkMTGA awesome this was the first video YT showed me of yours so I have not seen others yet to know if there is a difference. Loved the idea of the deck and keep trucking on!
Mono black now has the most degenerate strategy
@@reubenhugo6450 keep an eye on this channel, I've got a video for a mono Blue Deck in the next week or so that does quite well against it
@@TheManaDorkMTGA okay, I’m excited as a blue player
@@TheManaDorkMTGA when do you post the blue deck?
@@franciscomaraviglia9622 Noon (Arizona time) on Friday the 16th
Nice deck! Could you please and the card list to copy ?
@@franciscomaraviglia9622 thanks for the compliment and the interest! You'll find a copy of the deck list in the description
Cool deck, what's the winrate?
@@matheuscruz8574 If you stay till the end of the video, I cover that
Should commentate the games so people know what’s happening.
@@thatstreamingguy4327 Yes, in-game commentary should be returning in the next month or so... If you want to hear my beautiful voice, feel free to check through my older videos
Nice :)
This deck got me all the way up to Diamond - thnx man 😎👍🏼
Nice deck! You should consider talking during gameplay, might 10x the views! Best of luck!
In-game commentary should be resuming in mid-September
You have any plans to take these decks and upgrade them?
The week before each new set comes out, I do a couple videos where I showcase upgraded versions of some of the decks from the past season... So be on the lookout for those coming next week
Recently found your channel and built your budget crime deck it’s been getting me wins will try to save up to build your cookie deck keep it up.
That's a fun build! Thanks!
What deck would you recommend crafting for someone fairly new to the game that wants a rotation-proof deck to climb ranks with?
Without knowing your personal play style, preferences, and strengths.... My blanket, general purpose answer would be some variety of aggro, probably either Boros Convoke or mono red. However, in my experience the single most important factor in winning is how well you know your deck. Knowing how to comfortably and efficiently pilot it, what its strengths and weaknesses are, and what lines of play to take against various decks and board states... Those things are just as relevant as what the actual individual cards in your list are. But yeah.... Mono Red or Boros....
Deck looks very fun and I usually never play storm type decks but I have been looking for an excuse to build a deck around Gerald. I’m totally out of rares but have everything except ledger shredder. Any suitable replacements in the meantime until I get some rare wildcards??
Feel free to take a look at the original "no rare" version for more ideas... ua-cam.com/video/y3uXf_I4rzA/v-deo.html
Well is banned in commander at least (not arena), but yeah, really broken bird, btw good games, I recommend if possible to improve the frame rate of recording (try OBS options if you use that one) and the sound since this one at least for me has no sound at all.
you don't seem to have any sounds?
Yes, due to some environmental issues, some of the videos for the next few months will be presented without commentary during the game play portions
Cool build!
Interesting deck, thanks man!
This deck is kind of bad
That last game was the longest game i have seen....why didnt your opponent just surrender earlier
Pure EVIL...I can't condone this kind of strategy, but it's fun to watch it work. I especially like the touch of not activating your incubate tokens. Can you describe your general strategy of what cards to pick when you're choosing cards to put back into your deck with Witness The Future and Devious Coverup?
In that last game, I decided that rather than win through combat, I wanted to document how many times I cast Sunfall... As far as what to put back, It's mostly about what I think I will need later on to answer something that would steal the game...Thrun, Breaker of Silence needs Sunfall because I cant counter or target it, Restless Cottage needs Field of Ruin, and so on. If there's nothing obvious, I would lean towards draw effects, so that I am more likely to have drawn/am able to find the right answers.
I wonder if no rares standard would be an interesting format... It could be as cheap as pauper.
Arena does offer that as a format for their Midweek Magic events on occasion...they refer to the format as "Artisan"
EVERY SECOND COUNTS. Love The Bear reference.
I like your ramp decks man and appreciated the fact youre not net decking like 95% of the players on here.
That deck was fun to watch smugglers surprise is comp 😂
Good stuff! Looks like a fun deck.
Didnt need to double block that second time
nice deck man :D Kambal is my new favourite card from OTJ :D
Nice! Thanks for adding the decklist to the description. Mirrorhall Mimic is another clone spell that works in standard if people happen to have them. I wouldn't craft them as they are rotating out of standard.
Love what you've been doing so far. I really think it would be helpful if you would include the decklist in the video description. All you have to do is highlight your deck in the "decks" window and then hit the "export" button at the bottom. That puts the decklist in your clipboard. Then you just paste it into the youtube description. As it is, we have to go into the deck builder and build your deck by hand. It's an unnecessary hassle.
Super Awesome!!!! Do yo thang!!!
Voidwing Hybrid my beloved <3
Nice. You should export and then copy the deck list into the description.
The mama dork is wrecking people with mono blue! Gotta love it ;)
I always enjoy seeing what budget brews people come up with. Good luck with your channel.
