    For the record if you do "yes yes no yes" instead of "yes yes yes" on the forerunner's triggers then you get 8 raptors instead of 7.

      I actually thought people were trolling when polyraptor was spoiled and people actually argued about if you are getting 7 or 8 raptors. Guess not

      Yes, but not during combat, so he still couldn't've attacked with the raptors that turn.

    hi seth, I believe you can actually make 8 polyraptors per combo: if you choose not to do the trigger for the 3rd poly and do it for the fourth.

    • @TQDigitalMod
      @TQDigitalMod 7 років тому

      if I understand playing the stack right and if you have the mana you can make even more, with forerunner out, play poly, do the triggers till forerunner has 1toughness left, play regisaur, stack the triggers so forerunner is after regisaur ETB, have dino token ETB trigger forerunner again, trigger poly making 4 more tokens, which once the full stack resolves would let you have 16 w/ haste right?
      obviously if I understand it right its christmas magic land right here and super super late game(which would be almost never)

  • @Lukester44
    @Lukester44 7 років тому +19

    this deck was sweet, but Seth you made so many punts this video haha. attacking more then lethal polyraptors into a settle the wreckage, as well as negating the God pharaohs gift when you had two abrade in hand were particularly bad :p

    • @ToxicallyMasculinelol
      @ToxicallyMasculinelol 5 років тому

      not that there weren't misplays, but if he doesn't negate GPG, opponent can play around abrade by not casting or activating anything until combat step. so seth doesn't get priority again until beginning of combat step, at which point GPG's ability goes on the stack, and abrading GPG does not stop it. also there are hardly any better negate targets. the deck is full of creatures and GPG is the finisher. so 2x abrade can hit most of the rest of the deck. even if he did it on accident, it was probably a better play given the information he had at the moment

    (Around 17:20) Couldn't you make 8 polyraptors with that combo?

  • @turnipy88
    @turnipy88 7 років тому

    At 41:00 the opponent should have Field of Ruined at the end of turn to shuffle your library. Saved their Vraska’s Contempts.

  • @stephenlofton5403
    @stephenlofton5403 7 років тому +3

    Should have made the deck full enrage combo with Ranging Raptors, ripjaw raptor etc.. The biggest thing is that you really only need to run 1-2 polyraptor when you are running the play set of Forerunners. Forerunner also combos with ranging/ripjaw raptor could easily cut treasure map, 3 polyraptor and Gift of Paradise. I do love the endless sands though!

    • @truefregn
      @truefregn 7 років тому

      Stephen Lofton The stipulation for against the odds is that he has to play a full play set of the theme card (in this case polyraptor.) I doubt he would have played all 4 otherwise.

    • @stephenlofton5403
      @stephenlofton5403 7 років тому

      truefregn uh neat I guess. Anyway mostly just saying there are other ways to build a Dino ramp deck beyond the three mana enchantments.

    • @sendaran
      @sendaran 7 років тому

      The choice of Gift of Paradise especially over Ranging Raptors is definitely wrong here. Raptors ramp for each Forerunner trigger and provide early blockers with an upside. Also most of the colored mana deserts seem unnecessary, they make ramp fetching difficult. Seth's obsession with non-basic lands is hurting the build, clearly a sign of overdosing on modern. I'd also trim down 1-2 from Treasure Maps and maybe 1 or 2 Hour of Promise to bring in some amount of Ripjaws. "Why have one raptor when you can have all the raptors" etc. It would be tempting to add 1 Growing Rites of Itlimoc as well for some incidental value. You could setup some fun sequences with the Forerunner.

    • @MTGGoldfish
      @MTGGoldfish  7 років тому +1

      I think the optimal way to play Polyraptor is to be playing some sort of Dinosaur deck that already has Forerunner, and then just play Polyraptor as a one-of to tutor out when the situation calls for it, but for Against the Odds the unwritten rule is we play the winning card as a four-of and go all-in building around it.

    • @Nr4747
      @Nr4747 6 років тому

      Yeah, an all-out Enrage deck with a playset of Forerunners and only 1-2 Polyraptors seems like the best version of the deck, imho. You can even run 2 Fiery Cannonade main deck and a playset of Ranging Raptors for the ramp.

  • @rodrigodepaula4198
    @rodrigodepaula4198 7 років тому

    Attention on this, when the second trigger of polyraptor resolves you say NO when the third polyraptor comes into play and yes for the fourth one, so you get one more of it.

    • @DomcoRadlerLachtan
      @DomcoRadlerLachtan 7 років тому

  • @Hunttis

    I really appreciate the content! I've been following your stuff for quite long now.
    One request, if I could: please consider using compression on the sound for the videos, so the volume wouldn't fluctuate so much. The intro animation is much louder than the talking afterwards. It would actually probably eliminate all the highest peaks of volume when you get really excited (which is fun, but sometimes I when using headphones makes me instantly reach for the volume keys :D ). Most video editing tools should have this tool included by default.

    Does Heroic Intervention apply to permanents that entered the battlefield under your control after it was played (on the same turn)? If you have Alpha and Forerunner on board and you play Intervention and then Polyraptor, do you get "infinity" of them? Four of them but "infinite" damage to all creatures (with Forerunner, resulting in a Polyraptor with 1 damage, another with 2 damage etc.)?

      Yeah, untapped blue source that supports our Desert synergies like Hour of Promise and Scavenger Grounds.

    Correct me if I am wrong but if Forerunner's ability was none optional and it could not die (gave it indestructible or something), and one were to adhere strictly to the rules, would the game never end if you get the combo. Obviously yes both players can agree to stop or the opponent can concede but since it's not optional wouldn't it just be an infinite stack of enrage triggers on top of etb triggers that can never resolve.
    in the end it's just hypothetical but i'm curious

      If there is an unbreakable loop with only obligatory actions involved, the games ends in a draw (e.g. 3 Oblivion Rings on the battlefield and no other nonland permanent).

    • @MTGGoldfish
      @MTGGoldfish  7 років тому

      Yep, the game would end in a draw if that was the situation.

    So dumb question how many polyraptors get made with an anointed procession out?

    • @truefregn
      @truefregn 7 років тому +7

      Hero
      You get 27.
      But you must be a little careful. The way Seth clones his raptor in this video is suboptimal. What you need to do is only allow forerunner to ping once per cloning generation (not one for each clone) this makes sure that as many clones as posible get pinged every time.
      With AP out each of your raptors will get multiplied by three for each ping. (the original + 2 tokens) So the first one comes into play and triggers a ping creating two clones for a total of 3 raptors. You let one trigger a ping, creating two clones for each raptor on the board (6 total) together with the ones already out you'll have 9, then repeat one last time for 27, which also kills the forerunner, ending the combo.

    hey. i don't get how you end up with 7 Polyraptors at the time the empire dude kills himself...i would think someone gets 8 polyraptors. i am very confused

  • @Rogue_Biologist
    @Rogue_Biologist 7 років тому

    The way the triggers were stacked you were actually missing out on getting another Polyraptor by killing the Forerunner of the Empire before the polyraptor triggers were resolved. Otherwise this deck looks like a lot of fun :)

  • @CSDragon
    @CSDragon 7 років тому

    You can get 8 polyraptor if you say no to the 3rd Forerunner trigger and let both raptor triggers resolve before you ping again.

    • @TMGTCG
      @TMGTCG 7 років тому

      CSDragon i was thinking max is 8 polyraptors too is this correct?

    • @CSDragon
      @CSDragon 7 років тому

      Yeah, if all permanents were indestructible and you always say no to every forerunner trigger except the one caused by the last polyraptor trigger on the stack you get [2^n] polyraptors where n is the number of times you press yes to forerunner.
      Doing it Seth's way you only get 1+(1+2+3+...+n) where n is the number of times you press yes to forerunner.
      Now eventually polyraptors start dying, since you won't always have an Elspeth emblem, so it's not perfect, but you can see how one is muuuuch bigger than the other for the same n.

    You CAN make way more polyraptors than 7. Remember, each polyraptor also creates copies.

  • @MrThomasCWest
    @MrThomasCWest 7 років тому

    Pestilence (or the red equivalent) would have worked better with the Polyraptor. You can use the ability up to four times (five if you want to kill the first Polyraptor) to get up to 16 (31 if done five times) in one turn. The second turn, you can have up to around 256 of them. Give them either Overrun or Titanic Ultimatum (throw in a level 3+ Echo Mage to triple either effect) and you have a lot of overkill.

    Why didn't you just replay regisaur alpha after the unsummon you had treasure mana

    • @MTGGoldfish
      @MTGGoldfish  7 років тому

      The opponent bounced it during combat so we'd have to wait for our next main phase, and then it felt risky to play another creature in case the opponent found a Fumigate.

    As if it wasn't enough if one person points it out.
