@7:20 Phil, if you're going to do a dance on stream you need to fully commit. From someone of your streaming caliber I expect a choreographed dance number to the latest K-pop hit and a thematically unrelated fuzzy hat in the semblance of a fictional animal AT MINIMUM! Keep crushing it you beautiful snowflake.
I've seen people hating the london mulligan. But I love it it makes mulliganing less horrible. It definitively made me a worse player. Since I was so scared of sending my lands back
i stg when i clicked on this video i thought it said "2 years ago" and was a vid just after the london mulligan became widespread, when opp tutored for a lion sash i stg i was so surprised i thought i was having a fever dream lmao
I don't like GY decks often, because they are shut down SO hard by free-2 mana spells, but having carpet to hardcast the big boys is a cool backup strat; it's kinda like being combo, GY, and big-mana all in one deck.
I don't care how people support me. Some people do a donation decklist once a year. Some people watch ads. Some people just share my content or throw me a like. It all helps!
Best thing about the London mulligan: probably the best mulligan rule MtG has ever had. Second best thing about the London mulligan: empowers this wacky deck! Worst thing about the London mulligan: I live in London so I can no longer say 'all aboard the Eurostar', 'gonna check out the view from the Eiffel Tower' etc. or even 'I hear the weather in Vancouver is nice this time of year' (which at least makes you sound like a Cold War era spy). 'Going into town' just doesn't have the same ring to it.
@@ThrabenUniversity It might be worth cutting the Griefs to go for a more win-this-turn/Tin Fins build. Bring in an Emrakul, a Children of Korlis, and maybe 2 Thoughtseize instead? Maybe something like this: 2 Bayou 1 Forest 4 Polluted Delta 1 Scrubland 2 Swamp 4 Verdant Catacombs 1 Cabal Therapy 4 Chain of Smog 1 Children of Korlis 1 Chrome Mox 4 Dark Ritual 4 Elvish Spirit Guide 1 Emrakul, the Aeons Torn 4 Entomb 3 Exhume 4 Griselbrand 4 Lotus Petal 1 Reanimate 4 Shallow Grave 2 Thoughtseize 4 Unmask 4 Witherbloom Apprentice 2 Abrupt Decay 3 Carpet of Flowers 2 Pithing Needle 2 Reverent Silence 2 Surgical Extraction 2 Veil of Summer 2
In round 2 when magus came down- fetching a swamp gave you lethal? ESG in hand gives you the G, Petal and Swamp gives you BB, the next land gives you your 4th mana
I think adding an urborg and the yavi version would be good. Also i think a version that abuses street wraith would be good. Also noxious revival make entomb a vamp tutor
I'm sorry but this sucks. I wouldn't take cooks word for what's good for reanimater. He likes his stupid glass cannons in storm reanimater while a combo isn't glass as storm imo. This was bad and bad plays to totally could have won vs painter. Idk
Unless I forgot to manually check the ads (UA-cam automatically places an insane number of ads), there really shouldn't be that many. 2 in the first 15-20 minutes, and then 1 every 15-30 minutes after that.
@@TxTi @Troels falk Thanks, I forgot to manually edit this one to remove ads. I've deleted most of the ad breaks in this one. Sorry about that. I assure you, this i NOT the norm for my content!
Have you considered that I might be trying to intentionally add audio while I am thinking so I know not to edit out certain portions later that day? ;)
@@ThrabenUniversity You seriously want me to believe that you're intentionally saying like every 3 seconds to remind yourself not to delete that even though all your content is is you playing magic you playing magic you're not deleting any of it you any of it we watched your matches in full

I am very much on board with the London Mulligan. It's sometimes a little warping on games, but it makes the average game much better, imo.
This is an offering to the algorithm god
That mull-to-four dance! 😂😂😂
I'd be very into Sedgemoor Witch as another combo piece and a pseudo-fair backup plan
I like it. Witch is also a fine way to use extra rituals and such in the end game.
That's often the sideboard plan of the mono black worldgorger reanimator deck.
Only a good magic player top decks the land to win on a mull to 4. Please teach me the way sensei!
If you record enough matches, you look good enough eventually ;)
Deck might want a 1 of Emrakul for painter purposes and because you can shallow grave it for some brutal beats
I don't think that's crazy.
If your going to thirst trap with that shirt, then by all means

I think it's important for graveyard decks to either have a good "juke" like this or to be VERY prepared to fight against resolved hate.
If you’re gonna spend an hour watching a good old ThrabenU video, make sure you also watch ads for 30 seconds cause that’s how they pay the man!

@@ThrabenUniversity As a stay at home dad, I wish I could do a dono decklist. So I do what I can as a free 2 watch subscriber.
@@williammorgan-boyer9604 Your job is harder than mine! I get to leave the kids and go home as of 3:30 every day!
So, Phil: describe your league in three words:
"Get wrecked, nerd!"
Look, sometimes I get excited when I do something broken lol
@@ThrabenUniversity I do literally the same thing, so I'm no better :)
Here is a comment. I’M HELPING!
18:14 not sure if it's correct but I would've loved to see you keep Veil in against the deck that makes everything blue
Have a comment (that drains)
dont fuckle with the shuckle

Bring on the thirst traps 🤣
Instead of veil, maybe just play 2x animate dead or exhume
I like that.
Hmmm. Vintage Chain of Smog combo with a Hermit Druid package? Could be spicy.
great content.
Great stuff
I've never heard a more threatening "Or do you?". Absolutely love it.
Thank you for the vid Phil! Always a ton of fun watching you.
Love the emote flex!
Grief seemed like the card you never wanted to draw.
It's tough, because that card is very good if you do get a Griselbrand into play in the first place.
@@ThrabenUniversity It might be worth cutting the Griefs to go for a more win-this-turn/Tin Fins build. Bring in an Emrakul, a Children of Korlis, and maybe 2 Thoughtseize instead?
Maybe something like this:
2 Bayou
1 Forest
4 Polluted Delta
1 Scrubland
2 Swamp
4 Verdant Catacombs
1 Cabal Therapy
4 Chain of Smog
1 Children of Korlis
1 Chrome Mox
4 Dark Ritual
4 Elvish Spirit Guide
1 Emrakul, the Aeons Torn
4 Entomb
3 Exhume
4 Griselbrand
4 Lotus Petal
1 Reanimate
4 Shallow Grave
2 Thoughtseize
4 Unmask
4 Witherbloom Apprentice
2 Abrupt Decay
3 Carpet of Flowers
2 Pithing Needle
2 Reverent Silence
2 Surgical Extraction
2 Veil of Summer
2
In round 2 when magus came down- fetching a swamp gave you lethal? ESG in hand gives you the G, Petal and Swamp gives you BB, the next land gives you your 4th mana
@André Ricardo Ah that’s what I missed lol. Thought it was Verdant
I think adding an urborg and the yavi version would be good. Also i think a version that abuses street wraith would be good. Also noxious revival make entomb a vamp tutor
Is that a "don´t fuckle with the shuckle" shirt?
Yeah, it was a gift and I love it.
@@ThrabenUniversity thanks for showing me what my next shirt will be haha
Wondering. How do I get you to use one of my decks on a legacy video?
Obligatory algorithmic contribution

Take a look at what Bryant played originally. Then take a look at this. This is a *vastly* improved version of the same idea.
Wait? This ISN'T a thirst trap?
Would love to be able to afford supporting you.
Your movies have become almost unwatchable, due to a completely insane amount of commercials.
Unless I forgot to manually check the ads (UA-cam automatically places an insane number of ads), there really shouldn't be that many. 2 in the first 15-20 minutes, and then 1 every 15-30 minutes after that.
@@ThrabenUniversity i stoppede somewhat 20min into it. Had adds every 5-8min.

sorry what do you mean commisioned to play?
I play the decklists that people pay me to play. Details here: www.thrabenuniversity.com/services/
Please, why do you play Polluted Delta and Misty Rainforest ?
You tend to play copies of different fetchlands to play around Pithing Needle effects. Is that what you were asking?
@@ThrabenUniversity Ahh, yes, thanks :)
I am not a fan of xantid swarm.
It definitely didn't look good in this league.
What, no Serum Powder?
You can always go deeper...
Game 2 24:44 could have unmasked yourself for Griselbrand then shallow graved?
Wasn't there a Leyline in play?
At 19:44 you could have played out all your mana then entomb reanimated a witherbloom apprentice to chain of smog for the win
Yup, I realized that just a little too late :(
Good deck but my god bro you NEED to stop saying "LIKE" every 3 seconds.. Jeeeeeeeeesus. I am not kidding, I think you said it over 200 times
