A friend of mine hates playing --Modern-- Legacy (life is pain), so he has a "hostage negotiation" deck where his opponent has to save him from himself. It involves a F(irst) T(urn) S(uicide) strategy with Griselbrand, and that's just gorgeous to me.
Oh, sorry folks; didn't check back until now! I don't have his entire decklist since it's been a while, but I recall the dream hand for FTS needed at least three Dark Rituals (it's incredibly gimmicky), an Elvish Spirit Guide + Crop Rotation, and a fetchland to bring out a shockland. You could tap the shock when it hit, then sacrifice it to Crop Rotation (using ESG to pay it) for another fetch + shock combo and tap it for enough floating w/three Rituals to cast big G and pay for game. If you didn't get FTS, there were other cards like Street Wraith to pay life + thin out the deck, and even dig up a Griselbrand if you didn't open with one of the four. Loss conditions were your opponent getting rid of your Griselbrands or taking you out first. I will say, he did get counter-decked at one point by someone who donated him a Platinum Emperion, and he didn't talk for the rest of the night, bahahaha!
@@megapussi don't joke about that. It really happend to me. I hat 17 life, he had 2 6/6 death shadows, I let them pass, thinking that worse case scenario, I would get bolted, and he bolted himself giving them both +3/+3 and I LOST!!!
I mean, he did open up with "This deck is absolute trash. Probably." The fact that most of his math is based on a false premise is basically written on the tin =P
The only flaw of this deck is that Agadeem's hits only creatures that each have different CMCs and so can only ever get 1 death's shadow back (still a 4 mana 12/12 ain't bad). PS: Shatterskull also don't hit face
While Agadeem's Awakening has the good part on the land side where you give your Death's Shadows +3/+3 to play your land, I think Call of the Death-Dweller would be better for actually getting your Shadows back out. Agadeem's Awakening can only ever get 1 Death's Shadow back from the gy at a minimum of costing 3 mana, whereas Call of the Death-Dweller will always cost 3, and will always be able to get you back one or two Death's Shadows. And THEN, you can also distribute a deathtouch counter and a menace counter between them.
One correction: For Agadeem's Awakening (6:20) you couldn't retrieve two Death's Shadow because they both have the same cost. Each creature you return with Awakening has to have a different mana cost.
Notably, you could also try to find cards that remove all of Death's Shadow's abilities if you want the 12/12* without having to lose all the life. *13/13
I'm glad I found your content. Mtg was overdue for a content creator that wasn't afraid to relentlessly shitpost. If anyone gives you any guff, they're probably just compensating for all their useless white decks. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for spending a minute of my life to explain to me that when you're alive you are not dead and that when you're dead you're not alive while shouting "alright" in my ear every 5 seconds.
holy shit. Never seen such a technically "bad looking" presentation actually be THAT GOOD and then also on top be presented in just the perfect way to make the edgy janky style totally play out! Very nice! i have no clue about that game yet i still feel like i understood most of what you explained low key got the idea and had a ton of fun with this content
Noah is smart because life is a resource and however much you have left does not matter if you’re still alive. It only matters if it hits zero. Good job Noah you get a cookie. 👍
Aw, I thought we're were gonna be building an Ad Nauseam OHKO deck like the good old days. Oh well. For context, in Alara/Zendikar standard, Death's Shadow, Ad Nauseam, Lightning Bolt, Devastating Summons and Goblin Bushwhacker were all in standard at the same time. You could easily make a deck that won the game on the spot if you cast Ad Nauseam and survived until untap. Sure, casting a 5 mana spell that lost you a ton of life and hoping to wait until next turn to win was not always reliable, but it was fun, and you could still play it as a normal-ish aggro deck until that point.
I feel like I'm missing a joke here but this was a tier 1 Modern deck back when I played (and I don't think Sulphurous Springs was modern-legal at the time). Like, it wasn't quite exactly the same, but very close.
Nice video! As for the Thud/Fling strategy I played around with a pure red modern deck that was a token based deck that fuelled my Thunder-Thrash Elder since it had Devour 3, and then I'd eat most of my goblins save for a few other creatures. Infernal Plunge fuelled a lot of combos because of its low cost for a Dark Ritual-tier boost of mana. (BTW it would've been a total abuse of Altar of Dementia)
As someone who wanted to get into magic. Be it in the Magic Arena game on PC or with my friend who wanted to join finances to buy some cards/decks , you convinced me that green big unga bunga monsters is the most fun and best thank you for this now we compete who will use the green deck when we meet to play for funs :)
This is a lot like the already existing deck grixis death's shadow, which isn't super popular ATM but some of the principles in it are the same. With three colors you have 8 shock lands and can run 7-8 fetch lands, plus as you pointed out thoughseize. The deck also runs format staples like expressive iteration, ragavan etc. There is also a meme deck Seth (better known as saffron olive) made called "12 shadow" basically a mono black that combos your health down for this big meaty bois
Some changes: - I would run only one Pulse of the Forge. Use the added deck slot to put in another Expedite, in fact, if possible, find a way to put in 4 copies of expedite. - Expedite is significantly better than Crash Through, especially since you already have 4 copies of Ancestral Anger - Use Fling instead of Thud. For an additional colorless mana, you can respond to any removal, as well as simply win the game in most cases. There are certain phases, like the end of battle phase, where a creature may still be damaged, allowing for cheeky removal. Or, more critically, if someone tries to steal your creature, you can respond with Fling, wasting them a card and them getting damage as well. - Agadeem's Awakening would only return a single Death's Shadow, but if you cast it for 5, you can also get a Shadow of Mortality. - Shatterskull Smashing cannot target a player. Still worth running for the land side though. You could probably get away with fewer expensive lands and put in some basic. Also, you can usually trick your opponent into swinging into an empty board before they know what your deck is. Imagine they reduce you to like 3 life by tapping out, you play Death's Shadow, Expedite it, and then Fling it as the battle phase ends. Vexing Devil might even be perfect for this, because, just like you, your opponent is probably willing to pay 4 life to stop it. This can put them in range of this combo even sooner.
I would recommend satyr fire dancer since it copies dmg dealt to face to a target creature which is nice tbf. Casting lightning bolt to face and then copying that very dmg to kill a creature that could be in your way is pretty handy. I just forget if its still legal of not.
"Death is a boolean function" Funnily enough, if you code "if (life)" where life is a number, any computer would interpret life as false if it's 0 and true if it's greater than 0. So that joke is surprisingly accurate.
I have fond memories of death battles. Both players able to deal some damage and heal some damage. Both players going below zero multiple turns in a row could feel epic as long as it didn't happen to often
PLEASE DONT FORGET ABOUT Phyrexian Processor (4 colorless: As Phyrexian Processor enters the battlefield, pay any amount of life. 4, Tap: Create an X/X black Phyrexian Minion creature token, where X is the life paid as Phyrexian Processor entered the battlefield.
Agadeem can only get creatures with different mana cost. so it can't bring back 2 death'S shadow, and shatterskull can'T do 4 damage to the face for 4 mana , not sure how you read those cards ahah
Just a yugioh player passing through who happened to have this appear in their feed and was reminded of a certain archetype from the thumbnail This is quite reminiscent of the Dinomorphia (or Dinomorbious as it is famously known as) archetype whos titular monster, a self harming dinosaur-themed super sentai lady, comes with an insane 4000 attack stat-line (for reference, you start with 8000 lifepoints) but loses atk equal to your lifepoints. She can also chop your life points in half to copy the effect of a trap card you have already used, which will often be to protect yourself from damage or even summon another of herself. So as you can imagine, archetype is all about paying your life points to activate effects and such in order to pump your boss as high as possible while keeping your opponent from breathing on, and killing, you with your 1 lifepoint.
You might be able to create a two negatives make a positive situation with your life total by using platinum angel and the kirin and the other items that allow you to get below zero life. There is also a black card that automatically sets your life to zero the next thing is that there is only one card that that actually sets your life to negative through some shenanigans. All of these things are in black and red and Artifact except for the kirin.
Death Shadow has a ruling from 2020 stating that negative life is considered 0 life for the purposes of this ability. Otherwise, Shadow would be extremely busted
And then has a couple dozen “sorry you aren’t allowed to kill me” to protect them for far too long despite anything being lethal because half the traps prevent burn half prevent battle. Making fighting then really annoying if you can’t put up a few Omni negates for the traps
I had a deck back in the day I called it my hate deck! The deck could win in 3 or 4 turns if you had the right cards! Deck focused using Hatred and a cheap monster that had some kind of walk ability! Pi$$ people off but was fun! Fog would stop you cold!
Guys, if someone was wondering I printed the whole deck to try it with some of the cards of the most liked coments. And it did pretty well on 1v1 and against 4 others. It’s actually really funny with friends
Decklist: Death's Shadow x4 Shadow of Mortality x4 Street Wraith x4 Vexing Devil OR Unlucky Witness. 4 total between them. (I went 4 Vexing) Lightning Bolt x4 Pulse of Forge x2 Ancestrial Anger x4 Expidite OR Crash through. 1 off.

Terminate or other creatre removal? Feed the swarm? pay life to kill creature OR enchantment?

that's actually a solid idea
Yeah but agadeems let's you use your life as a resource by playing it as an untapped land
The best lesson about mtg I learned was "if your opponent beats you with 1 life left, it's the same as beating you without losing any life at all"
But it IS funny to have over 40/20 life left when winning
This is like watching someone reinvent the wheel, except the new wheel is an octagon.
One correction: For Agadeem's Awakening (6:20) you couldn't retrieve two Death's Shadow because they both have the same cost. Each creature you return with Awakening has to have a different mana cost.
There's 4 in the deck tho
"Death is a boolean function" is one of the sickest phrases ever ngl. Im stealing your words once I play dimir.
Notably, you could also try to find cards that remove all of Death's Shadow's abilities if you want the 12/12* without having to lose all the life.
