New Loot is Absurd - Aetherdrift Standard Gameplay

- This new Loot combo deck is actually pretty wild - and the Pro Tour players are practicing it during Early Access too! So it must be good right?
Thank you to Wizards of the Coast for allowing me early access to record with the new Aetherdrift cards! #freepreview

I know people have probably been telling you this already, but Quag Feast only cares about the number of cards in the bin, not what you mill. It will always destroy a 2 CMC or less target because it mills two cards. If you have more stuff in the bin, it can go after higher CMC stuff.
Just new card things
As soon as I saw the soul cauldron, I knew exactly what kind of build was about to happen. That card cracks exhaust right open
A 5CMC creature with double strike, vigilance, haste and tacked onto it is Ancestral Recall, Lightning Bolt, and Semi-Black Lotus. I guess thats MTG 2025. Next year maybe we get one with Time Walk, Time Twister, and Gauntlet of Power tacked on for 4 CMC. But DTR makes everything ok or something...
12:08 you could use any mana thanks to cauldron
Oh shit. YOU ARE RIGHT
The flavour text :p
I was wondering if that was going to get noticed
“I’m a god” he says before immediately misunderstanding a pivotal card in his deck hahaha
"cashay grab" bothers me a lot. Not only is that the wrong way to pronounce that meaning of cache (which isn't that big of a deal), but it also completely misses the pun (which is catastrophic).
Channeling Seth on this one
Thank you! I flinched every time lol
@@maxwelljohnson5388 so did I, but it's not often a word one hears spoken, more commonly it's read. And I'm not giving anyone a hard time for using a word they read.
I’m SO glad someone called this out haha. Bugged me to hear cashay every time
Very nice video showcasing the power of Loot! As well as the new shenanigans you can do with GY stuff. A few times where I facepalmed from not reading cards, but still a great time!
Wild that the best thing you can do with Loot is to throw it in the garbage
Sepultura reference. I got that. Nice.
Hot take: Loot isn't a mascot.
If he's truly meant to be a mascot, WotC is doing a terrible job with him considering before this set, he's barely been present in the story, has been less present in marketing, never been the face of a set, never been a face commander, and is still by many means, kind of an enigma. So I cannot in good faith see him as this Pikachu-like mascot being forced on Magic. It takes more than simply being "cute" to be a legitimate mascot.
Maybe I'm slightly biased as I dig the little guy, but you still have Jace, Vraska, Ral, Niv-Mizzet, Nicol Bolas, Urza, Mishra, Garruk, and countless other familiar faces appearing far more than Loot ever has. There have also been countless fearsome enemies, and other crazy critters in the MTG Canon.
Let the little guy have his moment.
YES. Literally this. I am also biased cus Wizards was specifically targeting me with this boy, but the singular plushie we got of him isn't even that good, and both story and card wise Kellain was pushed WAY harder than Loot is, and that mans as boring as a plank of wood.
I don’t think it’s a hot take, WoTC is just pushing a character the community doesn’t like.
@wesleyfeickert9623 thing is, I'm not sure I even agree with that. After his initial introduction, Loot was completely absent for two full sets. He wasn't even that present in story.
Like, I get it if Loot isn't everyone's cup of tea. To each their own. But to say WotC is pushing him is honestly disingenuous.
Jace is the face of mtg
Loot hate is so over done imo.
I think I would prefer Scavenging Ooze over something in there, not sure, as Scooze gets counters on its own, and can remove stuff from your graveyard to trigger the Roots.
it's also another activated ability to put in the cauldron
potential tech idea: goldvein hydra is a 2 mana haste that enters with a +1/+1 counter already on it. You can also use the black lotus effect off loot to ramp a tonne and make X big to go for the kill. Having vigilance means it can attack and then activate abilities later.
undead sprinter could also be good for a certain build of this. Haste, cast from grave, enters with a +1/+1 counter if you do. You just need to have a way to sac a creature
Funny enough, my friends that just got into magic love loot, so its actually working lol.
Came to the comments to say the same thing. My wife opened his Foundations version a few days ago and is already so excited to finished a commander deck for him. This is easily the most excited she's ever been for anything regarding magic so... like hes working.
And I think that's good. We all want more people to play magic with after all.
@ketchumall8243 yeap
*it's
@christopherb501 I know, Im just to lazy to do it
Thats his whole point. Magic creators hate when WOTC is successful in their plan apparently.
I feel like I'm the only person who likes Loot
I like the little rat when he's in non-realistic artstyles. Key to Everything's alt art is legitimately good, and Pathfinder's almost-Gainax pose is fun, he just looks weird in comparison to Actual Normal People
for a deck like this with activated abilities in colors you couldn't normally make, i recommend the surveil caves from OTJ. they can put stuff in the bin for you, enter untapped, and can make colored in a pinch. theres a couple times this video that i see that being useful
Cauldron allows any color mana to be used to activate abilities.
Oh cool Magic Madhouse, been buying from them for years. God damn I’ve already preordered the Aetherdrift product from them already before using your code.
Next time!
Monkey's paw curls. No more Loot, Jace is now forced into every set again.
Good.
Its funny how many pro testers there were lol Great video PK!
Did you read Agatha's Cauldron? Reading the card, as they say, explains the card. In this case, the Cauldron allows you to spend mana as though it was mana of any colour to activate creature abilities.
Yes, but you see... I am a dumb dumb.
@@PleasantKenobi Nah, you're a loveable goofball.
The opponent in the first game was even doing it!
Wow, this seems powerful. I really appreciate this video because I've just not been using Agatha's Soul Cauldron ever, because I have had a hard time wrapping my head around it. I may well copy this deck when Aetherdrift drops for the rest of us. All of the Soul Cauldrons floating around are bad for my pet Abzan reainimator regardless.
Though I'm not a true fan, I caught and appreciated your Sepultura reference. I had the cd in the 90s, but I just couldn't hang, lol.
To quote a great MMA fighter, "This is number one bullshit"
Cute little SOB
0:06 I refuse to believe you were born in 2003.
pretty sure he's 31 and that was a slip of the tongue lmao
Of course not, he was born in 04 Vince has a January birthday.🎉
@@KingCWaffa yeah he's literally a dad lol
@@KingCWaffaPK being Only 21 has been a meme for at least three years now, it's obviously because he's immortal and ageless.
Or it's just a bit. Hard to tell, really
"Literally a dad"
... so he's at least 13?
This sure looks like a nightmare to play in paper
Abusing Agatha's Soul Cauldron keeps getting easier and easier. Loot might be one of the best cards to do it with though
Pushed Pikachu doing Pushed Pikachu things.
This kind of deck seems like a nightmare in paper
Vince stop reading Quag Feast as anything about the cmc in your graveyard. The only cmc involved is the cmc of the target to be destroyed. Do you have X or less cards in the bin after milling 2? If so, then you kill X cmc. You always kill a 2 drop unless there is a leyline of the void or rest in peace across the board.
I am planning on building a commander deck with the new Loot as commander, and then use Agatha's soul cauldron to give all my other creatures his exhaust abilities. It is totally not gonna work, but I am still going to try 😅😂
i think you misread quag feast. it killls when the cmc of the chose creature is equal to or less than THE AMOUNT OF CARDS in your graveyard. not the highest cmc
Jesus. I think I misread it 4 times during the video. 🤣🤣🤣
Agatha's Cauldron let's you use mana of any color to activate abilities.
Yes, because when your intent is to create and force a mascot, you clearly introduce them and then barely include them on any cards for the next nine months, and only then have him be a big story focus.
the kids love cute creatures. Now let's raise the price of MTG cards, and pretend it's not an adult gambling format
Possessed by the spirit of saffron olive.
As someone that isn't abig fan of loot I like that the most powerfull thing you can do with him is throw him into a cauldron
Is Thran Vigil a good addition to this list?
this feels like Nadu again.
Not even fucking close. Nadu was an entirely different beast.
I don't think Standrad needs better gy hate. There's Rest in Peace, Leyline of the Void, Soul-Guide Lantern, Ghost Vacuum, Kutzil's Flanker, Tranquil Frillback, Scavenging Ooze etc. Was there ever a Standard with stronger graveyard hate than the current format?
I am just confused bc I thought loot got captured by Valgavoth in Duskmourn.
He was Valgavoth had a duskmourn team participating in the race. Then stuff happens in Aetherdrift and he was freed from Duskmourn troops
Don't need red mana for the bolt, care of the other words on Cauldron.
22:34 in all fairness to the opponent though, you *had* lethal on board and just chose not to attack... For all they know, you're just playing with your food and wasting their time. I think the scoop was perfectly reasonable
It's meant to be a caveat of the event - that you let people play out their cards to "show off their decks/new cards".
I'm not really that mad, but it is a thing that is suggested by the developers to allow people to collect fully realised content (like killing via non combat damage :p)
Only reason I mention it here. Also, to be fair to them, they habe probably seen this deck all night lmao
This deck seems like such a mess to keep track of in paper. For every creature you put a counter on, you need to track which of the three loot abilities you have used
Easy trick... colored mancala stones. (They're like flat-ish marbles before anyone asks)
I'm glad Loot is better in the soup than on the battlefield, great abilities, but I don't want to see that character design 👍
Did they lose a bunch of players that used to play for the early access event? Why haven't you faced any people with names like SaffronOliveVIP?
Nobody likes any of the mascots for Magic. I showed up just as the Gatewatch arc was ending and everybody hated it and mocked it incessantly. Arguably the only "mascots" anybody liked were the Weatherlight crew. "Main characters" of Magic for several years, with repeat appearances across cards multiple times a year, and leads in several books.
anyways, I like Loot.
Why he say cache grab like that smh
Holy crap... Arena is so rigged... Not only a mono red aggro, and even the shuffler grabing 2 Loots after a mullingan of 2 Loots.
No. Its variance.
@PleasantKenobi i mean... Try testing a mono red brew vs a non-red brew. Try it at 5 times ans aee for yourself
Cache is pronounced like cash.
How is Loot a mascot? Dudes barely been on any cover of magic boxes, has like 3 legendary cards and is barely been present in the story. The moment any cute little animal character shown up in any story, it immediately turns into CORPORATE MASCOT TRYING TO SELL TOYS! Nothing can be cute anymore Is i swear. Sorry for ranting.
Anyways, good gameplay. Probably the only aetherdrift commander I want to build.
Hows that instant karma with already mirrored decks on unreleased sets
I so can't wait for the "cute main character" they're shoving down our throats to be banned in standard 😂🤣
Exhaust is such a terrible mechanic. It's like they're just printing Alchemy cards into Standard (and consequently into every other format.)
Soul Cauldron Standard ban incoming???
Did you ever get a wildcard refund for those Luminarch Aspirants?
Of course I didn't. Arena giving our free wild cards? Don't make me laugh
go home Loot, you don't even go to this school
why does it sound like you sped up your talking.... Cant understand half of whats been said after 3 minutes.... Not everyone is a native speaker
Twenty one year old....
Loot does not even loot. 0/10 flavour points
why do people hate loot so much?
Industry Plant, they need us to love him
Because he was kinda industry built to be loved. It’s like a pikachu clone. He doesn’t really do anything or have any connection to anything.
To a lot of people, he reads like a guy in a suit said ‘we need a tiny, cute, big eyed mascot to sell merch! Get to making one!’
As others were saying they kinda forced him in, and then they decided to put him on the big score list for his first printing which really didn't help.
Because he’s horrifyingly ugly and looks like he was generated using AI. I guarantee people would like him if he was more animal-like, with a normal snout, because he gives off major Cat and og movie sonic vibes as is.
I can't understand it either.
A giant multinational corporation wants me to love it.
Who am I to say "no"?
First lmao
You'd think a "professional" youtuber would learn words before filming a video to ensure they don't pronounce cache so ducking ridiculously like 10 times. Do better
Woah holy crap you’re so much fun lol
I'll do your mum better.
