    I think there is a way:
    - tap all your lands for 7 mana
    - play Syr Ginger; clamp; boots; desk ( have 1 floating)
    - play and tap academy for 7 more (up to 8)
    - sac food and desk; equip Syr Ginger with both equipments (down to 3 mana)
    - play RecSage to blow up 1 servo
    Kappa is a 10/10, Syr Ginger is a 7/2 trample and they have to block tough cookie and trinket mage with the 2 remaining servo.
    I just realized you could also equip the boots on the sage, since Syr Ginger already has haste, making this require less math if the mana checks out. If it doesn't, you can probably play hexdrinker and give it the boots.

      Yeah, you'd want to give the rec sage haste here. Syr Ginger doesn't get the counter off the desk when you sacrifice it because it's unearthed, and never hits the graveyard. But the math still works out because of your extra attacker. Nice line!

      Shouldn't he have held back to block two damage on a worm though, I feel that would have been more important than 1 damage even if he was playing for the balance

      @@bradenkeller1549 If jbro has a balance the goal of the attack isn't to deal 1 damage, it's to get his thraben inspector dead. I think LSV sorta considered this possibility though by noting jbro had already played his land and had just an untapped plains. So the punish for blocking is only if jbro has mox+balance, which is pretty unlikely. If jbro has balance but not the mox the attack is terrible because it means the inspector doesn't get to die by blocking, the 1 damage is irrelevant, and the 2 life matters a lot when LSV is putting him to

    16:37 "If you see those both in the top 10 cards every couples games, like you're just gonna win." I had just noticed that only happens once in every 16 games and this guy gets it in the opener in game 1. Luck, skill, victory.

    48:13 With Upheaval in hand, I think it is absolute lunacy to grab anything besides Mana Crypt. You can even replay Mage the turn you Upheaval thanks to Crypt and then get Pyrite Spellbomb.

    26:20 Why not use Dismember on construct token that's a 4/4? Before battle ball hits the board? That way it die's and there is no need to chump it in battle?

  • @definitelymattjohnso
    @definitelymattjohnso 8 місяців тому

    at 28:10 you're still live before you draw the skullclamp cards because you could draw into flash+worldspine wurm to survive the turn then rip timespiral or upheaval. Pretty unlikely, but you weren't totally dead.

    I dont't understand casting the star before Time Spiral at 01:12:42. It plays into Daze and you can always cast the star later. Also you would have Flash + hardcast Force open that turn if you didn’t play star at all and played Boseiju.

    Regarding Breach combo: I think nobody takes it because they expect other players to hate draft the other pieces. But what ends up happening is no one actually hate drafts the combo.

    • @nickk6556
      @nickk6556 8 місяців тому

      The boots would have won him the game at 54:12 if he had searched for mana crypt instead of the the spellbomb. I agree with you it's not great in this deck but kinda funny nonetheless. I think I would have tried cryptic command instead (which actually also would have won in that 54:12 spot without the mana crypt).

    ua-cam.com/video/VdO0IIxGpWg/v-deo.html This was a very cool decision point, evaluating whether to chump the construct and blow up the Mox Opal vs. blow up the construct and keep the rec sage. Ultimately you chose to keep the rec sage since you felt you needed both Time Spiral + Upheaval to win the game, which really means you needed the top card to be skullclamp, then one of the next two to be spiral, then one of the next 7 to be upheaval. Which seems pretty low odds to me, but might be the best chance of winning versus if you simply drew Upheaval. Didn't matter in the end, but found it interesting nonetheless.
