    • @ryanbolson23
      @ryanbolson23 4 роки тому +4

      brianv3ntura, like the other guy said. It’s brain dead because a person who doesn’t understand the cards at all can play the deck and stomp someone with a non-ramp deck. Is there a skill curve? Yes. But that doesn’t make it a 10,000 IQ deck. You literally just get enough mana to play a Genesis, and win by filling the board with free creatures using free mana from omnath. It’s definitely not a hard combo to pull off.

      You're having better luck than I sir, and I'm middling in Gold tier. I have a horrible W/L rate with this deck. I made some modifications based on the end of his video where I added another heartless act or 2 and put in another sweeper because I would be okay until the mid game and then just flounder out while my opponent did much more powerful things and I'm still struggling to win much. In my experience The Meta is just too quick to keep up with Adventures and counterspell decks can sit back and wait to counter Dance of the manse or Doom whild you kind of just stall out. I'm still learning how to play the deck and I've definitely made some mistakes but any advice you can provide would be great.

    Would you ever be willing to do a video on your thought process behind which/ how many lands you choose to use when building a deck? I'd love to understand the science behind it better so that I can craft my own home brews. I'm decent at building decks, but usually only go with one or two colors because three or more gets confusing for me.

    • @mistere5857
      @mistere5857 4 роки тому

      It depends on whether you are building in paper or MTGA and what kind of deck you are trying to build. For most decks in MTGA, you want more than 24 (40%) lands unless you are building aggro. Decks that require more than 4 lands to function need to be running between 25-28 lands depending on the average cost of the deck.

Also run instant speed removal for omnath/cobra. Shatter at 4 is a requirement against rogues and red. Also baby shark is nasty with dance.

    Btw, I suggest you use shatter the sky instead of extinction event in this doom deck, cause it fills the graveyard for drown in the loch. Extinction event is counter-productive if you're running drown in the loch.

    Safety Dance is the song choice for the deck, but I Can't Dance by Genesis is the song choice for the opponent

    I'm not saying I single handedly brought Danse back into the meta.... I'm just saying climbing to Mythic with it in the first two weeks of the expansion and not seeing anyone else running it then was highly serindipitous
