    Super weird and subtle rules interaction at 30:08 -
    Bard class's +1/+1 counter replacement effect determines whether it applies to Klothys before Klothys is on the battlefield. At that moment, devotion is 6, so it's not a creature and does not get a counter. If bard class was worded as a triggered ability (i.e. "whenver a legendary creature enters the battlefield under your control, put a +1/+1 counter on it"), it would be different: then Klothys' devotion would count, and it would get a counter.
    So technically you could have played Galia first to have Klothys enter a bit bigger, not that it mattered.

    I absolutely adore the games where you have to go over the top with level 3bard class. Bardstorming is my favorite thing to do with these decks, and I'd often throw games because I'd rather do it than follow more straightforward lines that definitely won the game.

      After slapping this together and running it through the explorer queues, I enjoy this deck way more than the standard version, particularly because I feel like it gets to max Bard Class out way more often than when I played it in standard. It also just has way more variety of legends so you get to turn a bardstorm into a much wider board.

      @Dreadnote-pf7of 9 місяців тому +2

      Yeah, I think mirror box is more suited for fun and janky plays when you just like to do silly thing and sadly it would slow down this deck, because most of the time if it go off - it could win without it just by using burst value and drawing (or rather exiling) through the deck, putting all good stuff and smacking your opponent. And if you not going off - then MB wouldn't probably save you.
      So while its a more fun and interesting approach it would lower powerlevel of a deck (while, well, making it a little bit more endgame-heavy by allowing your to create bigger boardstate. So in some matchups it could be a good thing... But I think that this deck want to win as fast as possible using its mana-cheating and raw power)
