Is it weird that I kind of like this iteration even more than the last? Epicure was great to accelerate into Knight-Errant but honestly I think the modality of the scoundrel coupled with the unearth of 4 frontliners kind of lets you "unearth" more lines turn 4-7... :P
@@tylerblalack6684 yeah, it's been around way longer and is easier to pilot. jeskai is rapidly becoming more dominant in the tournament scene, though time will tell if that trend sticks. I think that if we get one good colorfixing land cycle then jeskai is instantly better, cuz the more often you can demolition the better.
i honestly think as a new player on arena you should only use wildcards for the eternal formats and build your standard decks outa the natural rares and mythics you open. your barely going to get a full standard deck together in your first set anywhey so why not get into historic while you naturally build your collection of standard cards from playing. you can build 3 historic decks (aggro, control/midrange and combo) in the same time it takes you to build 4 standard decks. especially when a set has cards that are replacing historic staples.
Disagree because if you play draft(and you should, as a f2p), you will basically complete current sets, so building standard decks becomes cheaper because you only have to craft cards from past sets still in t2, while in the other formats you have all of arena to craft from.
@@GeusGames You can get to premier draft in about 1.5 weeks of play on f2p. There are plenty of budget decks in all but UW control that can push you into high platinum.
I'm baffled why this deck is so popular. It just loses to sweepers. Has basically no disruption so losses if it falls behind. When I see it in best of three it's an auto win. It does have the craziest turn twos possible though!
Speed, you can play a lot more games in the same amount of time, even with the quick losses - it lets you easily hit the volume of games needed to grind to mythic.
You can play around sweepers a little if you play intelligently. It's not the easiest thing to do, but I've had plenty where I did then had that turn two effect post sweep if you're not mana screwed. It's also just fun.
If you anticipate sweep spells, you don't fill send. Even then, you often end up drawing into enough creatures to fill your board again. It a tough deck to keep down.
It puts up fairly solid tournament results (real best decks in standard right now in the competitive scene are golgari midrange and domain) and it can rebound really impressively from sweepers, you have to hit em with at least two or hope they have a bad draw. It's also obviously an arena darling, because aggro is always overrepresented on arena.
Nope, we are back to a black/x dominate Midrange format along with Domain. While I don't think the format is bad, I do think the format was healthier before rotation, eventhough quite a few of the cards were stale.
The meta is fine lol One of the healthiest formats i have had the pleasure of taking part in. Lots of different options to play and be competitive. Unless you are talking about BO1, BO1 is always kinda weird lol
Depends on the meta, it's way worse against single target removal. A lot of people still have their sideboard tuned for convoke so it won't trophy as much.
@@Erictraiven The only two real reasons to run green is the creature (of which i cannot honestly remember the name of for some reason) and snakeskin veil... so i wouldn't doubt it at all.
I really like watching you play decks I’ve piloted. Your thoughts and process on how you make decisions is so helpful.
26:28 "That still counts as one!" Gimli shouts in the distance
Been loving all the standard content.
Green shirt was an interesting choice. Wizard of Oz cosplay distracted the always excellent MTG content.
This is the best boros convoke build ive seen by far.
That's interesting about the red zone. Didn't realize there was an actual association beyond red and aggression.

Jim you da man!
Calling the punt m2g1 you could've played scoundrel, treasure, case to kill the sentinel and then attack
How do you feel about the jeskai variant of the deck? Spyglass siren for the 1 drop spot, and opens up more blue card value.
There are reasons that the boros version has a 60% winrate across tens of thousands of games, and across the ranks.
@@tylerblalack6684 that’s true, I honestly didn’t know if Boros was going to survive without Epicure. Definitely proved it has big legs still lol

I'm not up on current standard, so this might be a silly question, but do you play the Viper in that deck?
Please do a beza uw control deck
Do you guys think jeskai convoke is a better options?
