    Oh my GOD man! From 21:05 when you say "what's the play" until 22:47 "time to take over!" is the best thing, the actual reason I prefer watching your videos the most. The explanation of why to steal this instead of that. The enemy's resources, with the possibility of Little Teferi bouncing back his Ooze, I would have never thought of that that moment if it happened to me. But you didn't got scared about the might of Ooze, you know that you could steal Shalai and Ooze later, (or what you did with denying them lands and chump blocking) while at the same time denying them that 5th land first. You are the best CGB!!! As I've said before: You make us better players!! Thank you

    When you reach into someone's hand and take their card, it's despicable. When you reach across and take their creature, It's a crime against humanity. When you reach over, and steal ALL their lands, God looks down and says, "Dude, chill out."

    For gameplay vids like these, is there a deck tech portion that you recorded somewhere on twitch that doesn't make it into the vid or do you just not usually record that?

    I made this deck! After I saw your other Reanimator deck and trying it out, I realised I was decking out a lot. I took out drakuseth and added 2x jace to make it a self mill deck. I've kept in some thought erasures but perhaps in the current meta, the tyrants scorn is better. I've exchanged quasiduplucate for sirens ruse, which will admittedly cycle soon, but is cheaper and I feel the 1UU cost is excessive for blue mana (I know Jace is even worse, but that is usually played last turn). I would like to see some 3-drop removal, maybe counterspells or even quenches added. Lastly, I love that stitchers supplier is OUT. I've had the worst luck with it.

    This implementation looks awesome. I'm currently playing Mogwai's' "Bones Reanimator" and it's fun as hell, but once I get the wildcards I'm missing (for Quasiduplicate), I'll give this one a go for sure, it looks a bit faster.
    Do you think Spark double fits somehow, to increase chances of copying?

  • @tremackin
    @tremackin 5 років тому +1

    If you take out an AoT fir Scholar of Ages and a Blood for Bones for Final Parting, that alone skyrockets these tactics with a loop. Omniscience with a Scholar of Ages is a hefty price but is an insta win with the aforementioned cards. The three card combo is Omniscience, Final Parting, Scholar of Ages... FP for BfB's and something you want in grave. BfB the Scholar to revive AoT or something else. Scholar of Ages Bfb and Fp. Then Fp two more cards. Then Bfb Scholar.....loop loop loop ...win.
    Connive Concoct I'd put in for something aswell. Thats 4 card difference that could be huge late game with consistency and wincon combos.
    Personally i play Enhanced Surveillance because grave hate is whack -_-
