    I loved this deck for awhile, but Lockdown got real popular. Cut a few creatures to run 3-4 Break the Spell. 1 mana enchantment removal. It stopped Lockdown in a big way, you destroy lockdown at instant speed after they declare attacks and watch tons of triggers and huge creatures pop out of nowhere. Even had Voice comeback with invincibility once.

  • @gyrasolune5436

    Yeah Gumdrop Poisoner worked since the Case applies to "creature cards", and adventure creatures count as those that just also have an option to cast them as an instant/sorcery if the creature becomes a valid target for casting. OTOH you /wouldn't/ be able to cast adventure spells off of "noncreature spells" becoming valid castables in the GY, I believe

    • @MalaysianGov
      @MalaysianGov 9 днів тому

      Interesting! I think that makes good sense

    • @ajaxender12
      @ajaxender12 9 днів тому +1

      I think you could actually cast Tempt with Treats if you had an effect that allowed you to play or cast a non-creature * spell * from the graveyard (or library) - because when you 'attempt to cast' an Adventure card, you get to choose which kind of spell it is, regardless where you cast it from. But you could not cast Gumpdrop Poisoner with such an effect, because that's a creature spell.
      If you had an effect that said cast (or copy) a non-creature * card * in your graveyard, that would not work with Tempt with Treats.

    • @jack21222
      @jack21222 9 днів тому

      Yes, from what I understand, if it had said "you can play creatures from your graveyard" it would only be the creature portion, but since it's creature CARDS, the card itself gets the effect. The whole card.
      It's worded that way to keep sacrifice creatures from going infinite, because the card "forgets" that it had the "cast from graveyard ability" when it changes zones. Case only applies to creature cards in the graveyard at time of casting.

  • @theoneandonlyflexo
    @theoneandonlyflexo 9 днів тому +5

    -You would still need a Cavern naming "Human" and not "Spirit" in order to cast Lunarch Veteran for its distrub cost. You are still casting the front half, it just enters transformed if you cast the disturb cost.-
    Edit: Just took a look at the comprehensive rules. The actual wording on disturb says you cast it transformed, so it would be back side up even on the stack. This is another case of why its important to look at the CR and not only rely on reminder text.

    I think life gain has to run Get Lost, due to Lockdown. It also benefits from spot removal, since Gumdrop Poisoner struggles against midrange creatures in the early to mid game.

  • @ajaxender12
    @ajaxender12 9 днів тому

    I'm fairly sure that when you activate Case of the Uneaten Feast, it only applies to creature cards currently in your graveyard. I have tried to set this up for some kind of infinite sac-return combo (I think with a Greedy Freebooter so the treasure would pay to re-cast it) and it didn't let me :(. But possibly I mis-played somehow.
    (edit: yeah it's a 'continuous effect' applying to cards in your graveyard at the time, not a 'static ability'. Similar example is "creatures you control gain haste until end of turn", creatures you bring in after giving the rest haste, will not have haste)

    • @RetroMTG
      @RetroMTG 10 днів тому +2

      Commander and Brawl have very good choices, start with “Elas-il Kor, Sadistic Pilgrim” in the command zone. For Standard, you’re going to need “Vein Ripper” and the “Sadistic Pilgrim” together. GLHF

    • @QibingZero
      @QibingZero 9 днів тому +1

      I've really tried to make it work in standard, and a lot of the cards are there, but it's just a bit too clunky. Your best sacrifice outlet is Bartolome del Presidio, and you do have payoffs in Elas il-Kor, Vito, and Vraan (Vein Ripper works too, but it's 6 mana), but generally it just requires too many pieces on the board at the same time, in a format jam packed with removal. When OG Aristocrats was good, it was a lot faster and put real pressure on the opponent.

      @snugglyhugs8698 9 днів тому

    That Cavern of Souls hurts my brain. I've been enjoying a similar deck for the last few weeks, but feel like it isn't interactive enough. Either they have the answer (exiling your dudes instead of killing them), or they don't. Terrible matchup versus UW control, strong against basically everything else. Basically this deck is a meta call, counting on the aggro decks to keep you from bumping into the control. The other bad matchups are GB variants with Graveyard Trespasser and Oops, all combo. That is, assuming you fix your mana base - please please don't play Cavern of Souls, there are a million BW dual lands that are much more reliable.
