Mocking bird would be good in this deck you can copy ninjas and they have flying then or just copy what ever is best your opponent has or a frog. Mocking bird is gonna be a staple across the board soon it’s so good I’ve been throwing it in everything
I like Distortion Strike because it pitches to Force
Doesn't Bowmaster half the number of possible draws from Necro?
No. The Necrodominance deck wins at instant speed with the Bowmaster triggers still on the stack.
@@ProtossBrotoss it's a good question,, but as @madlatheoperator4649 said, the deck goes off at instant speed so wins in response to the triggers
@28:00 if you had jumped the frog and forced a maze activation you would have stopped one more construct that turn and still had frog as a blocker. Not sure if that was enough to win, but it would have kept you just alive.
That's a good shout
Lets gooo, I love ninjas. Favorite creature type
20:01 Doing a quick look over Maverick decklist and it looks like a lot of them are only running a single basic. Perhaps Floodmoon is now a viable option against them.
Floodmoon is a great name for the harbinger btw. I might start using that instead of getting mixed up between harbingers!
@@crucible_of_words I picked it up from Aspiringspike, but I like it a lot too
In game 1 of match 4 couldn't you have ninjitsued in Kaito after damage and drawing the cards, as your creatures remain unblocked attackers until end of combat? I know they scooped, but making an emblem post combat and having Kaito who dodges a Terminus and Supreme Verdict seems desirable.
Yeah, that's a fine option. I preferred to keep the brainstorm in case I needed to dig for something in response, but you are right that I should have at least mentioned it in the video
Ninjutsu is a bit of a meme deck, but it's certainly playable.
I'm not sure what 75 that the Frog Doomsday was using, but if there was no LED, then I'm not sure what the same turn win would be. I don't think Psychic Frog is a good card in Doomsday, although I suppose it's a lot more straightforward to play for people who don't have experience with the deck.
A lot of the lists in challenges seem to be Psychic Frog Doomsday decks now. I think it's basically a better version of the old "tempo doomsday" lists that ran Murktide etc. The deck seems good and having a single card creature that can win the game doesn't see the worst. Tamiyo also does a lot of distraction work too and is just an I WIN button. Now, I'm not remotely good at Doomsday, so I'd definitely listen to actual DD players over me about the deck, although the majority of DD decks doing well thesedays are Frog ones (73% of them, with 65% playing Tamiyo)
28:29 I think you have to keep these hands on this build.
45:44 This list is about 10% less likely to open a t1 on a 7 than GB. I’ve found it mulls a lot worse than GB generally too. You did keep a 7 the very first game that won though. I’d highly recommend adding a Lively Dirge over 1 Narco to increase consistency (both in mulls and draws). Pretty much everyone besides Faulted has cut the 5th Narco effect as it’s fairly useless in this meta
F for the Pact.
Can you post the SB guide?
@@TheGordito1976 below of is what Faulted Form sent me: This is pretty loose but it’s what I was doing for the version with cabal rituals. If you’re doing the version without just add the 3 lands back to the main deck and put 3 pet cards in the side. The siding concepts are pretty much the same either way. Any Blue deck: -3 cabal ritual +3 duress Graveyard Hate/Fair (leyline/cage): -4 pact of negation -3 cabal ritual -2 of the following 3 cards depending on your needs (-1 reanimate, -1 poxwalkers, -1 agadeem’s awakening) +3 thassa’s oracle +3 echoing truth +3 hydro electric specimen Graveyard Hate/Fair (trigger based): -4 pact of negation -3 cabal ritual -2 of the following 3 cards depending on your needs (-1 reanimate, -1 poxwalkers, -1 agadeem’s awakening) +3 thassa’s oracle +3 stifle +3 hydro electric specimen (Decks that are trigger based hate but can apply fast pressure I’ve been testing leaving in the cabal rituals) Non FOW Combo: -4 pact of negation -1 or 2 of the following 3 cards depending on your needs (-1 reanimate, -1 poxwalkers, -1 agadeem’s awakening) +3 stifle +1-2 duress
Thank you
My new fav deck
The dimir tempo matchup doesn’t look great, but they drew very hot. It’s probably a bit better than it showed in this league.
I think the problem is that the top 20% of UB draws right now are just nearly unbeatable for a lot of decks. So their hot draws are just more frequent than they should be.
Any chance we might see Phlage in a reanimator/Hollowvine list any time in the future?
What does that even look like? Send a list my way and I'll take a peek
Thanks for the vid - and also for including leagues that go less than stellar. I think these are just as important. As for Metamorphosis Fanatic, the card is absolutely busted. Some of the most recent lists are already playing four. It's a bit unfortunate, for one because god knows UB frogginator was the last deck that needed an upgrade and secondly because the card is stupid expensive on mtgo...
Frog is extremely popular in Vintage where Daze is mediocre. Proof of concept that it is a problem in Legacy.
Yay, from the shadows
When Grist is in play, the number of creature cards in your graveyard is indicated in text at the top of the graveyard zone - the same way that it counts card types for delirium. It didn't matter, but in case you didn't catch it before.
Dude im a little stoned rn tbh but my girlfriend just asked whether this is Tyson fury speaking an im like lol no this a pretty cool mtgo guy on yt and damn I just recognized you really sound like him
The opponent in the 5th round was kinda rude, so I hope that something good will happen in his life and he will understand that it is not good to behave like this 🙏
I don't believe he was rude, I hope something good happens to you and you realize that it is not good to be so sensitive
@@LarryActionGlass positive ≠ sensitive
Another Content Creator do 2:3 and claims Frog is too good. Frog is OK, but if you have Daze to protect it on turn two we have a problem.
@@RadicalSpikee frog is definitely too good and has warped the format a great deal. Its numbers in winners meta is comparable to Dreadhorde Arcanist and is very ban worthy. I expect it to be banned in December
@crucible_of_words let's ban Daze first and see what will happen, how many cards have to die for sins of Blue players. Also tell me if I'm wrong, but how did you protect Dreadhorde Arcanist? Perhaps with Daze? Problem is always the same! Free spells! Frog is 2 drop which dies to pretty much any removal.
@@RadicalSpikee The problem is having a 2 drop card advantage creature. Frog is worse as it dodges a lot of removal and never dies in combat. When Daze is just protecting a creature that only acts on axis (damage), then it's fine, and has been for a while. Frog was more played than Daze in the last challenge as well. Daze is a necessary tool to keep the busted combo decks in check. Force protects frog too. The issue is definitely an overpushed creature that is in the top 5 creatures of all time.
@crucible_of_words I can't agree, just to give you solid argument I can point out Timeless where Frog is not even Tier 1 deck, being much worse than Show and Tell & Energy. You know what's not legal in Timeles? Daze.
@@RadicalSpikee Timeless is not a real format tbh, and Show and Tell is the best deck because the counter magic is so bad lol. There are tempo decks running UB frog still though. It's not useful to compare wildly different formats, you could say "ragavan is fine in legacy because it's fine in modern" and that would obviously be wrong. Although that being said, according to MTGRocks, Dimir midrange is the 3rd best deck and rated higher than show and tell. So looks like people are catching on, Frog is the second most played deck in modern as well according to MTGGoldfish. Frog is not OK in Legacy and the numbers certainly bare that out. It was much more played than Grief before Grief was banned as it was a better thing to do than the broken banned card lol
I did not think the metamorphosis fanatic was any good and was overhyped during spoiler season, but dang it was absolutely nuts that league
I see we are the badies today.
Well finally it was time for this deck to get an upgrade......... -.-
This deck looks rad!
no comments?

This deck looks rad!
let's go!! awsome content, love the video's
For one pound a month 2:47 … welp, I, as a filthy American, instantly zoned out, and was like, “oh yeah, this guy is bri-ish (or nearby). Gimme a moment, gotta drink me a bah-ol ah wa-er”
@@IcePhoenixMusician harsh, but fair
Honestly, it’s just better to jam. Each turn that you pass back is one more opportunity for them to find interaction. This build is glutted with 2-drops and 18 is a tad short when you want to curve out, especially with your play style of waiting to have veil up.
Hm, does Ancient Cellarspawn read: "Your Fireblast deals 10 damage"?
It sure does
r2g3 Tamiyo didn’t trigger because u didn’t activate it in your turn 😅
@@Mr.Floppy777 yeah, a lot of stuff happened on end step lol
Yggdrasil (Eeg-drah-sill) is the tree of worlds that exists as the "root" of the whole universe in norse mythology. The assassins creed games use some of that mythology as a backdrop for their games, hence why the AC set had it as a magic card
If you want the urza thing to work you gotta have cheaper artifacts
That was very much my conclusion at the end
Back when I was tinkering with a W/U Taxes list, I was on something like 1-2 Thalia with the other 2-3 slots paired with Unsettled Mariner and Tax Collector as a tax option. Collector is silly with Soulherder (and a decent way to stall out stuff like Regent/Frog/Marit Lage if you choose the detain option), Mariner is a decent layer of protection against targeted removal, and both are silly with Delney in play (because I was already playing jank, so why not Delney?).
42:34 i think on this recruiter line you should have searched for the creature land, reason being is you have venser in hand and if you make it to next turn with venser and thee oup it’s just ggs, your bouncing two lands the first turn and keeping them time walked at minimum every turn after.
All your changes seem reasonable and sound like boros dnt
I think one wasteland is enough
There’s this spell called “Earthquake”
But Cave-in is free! and the other sweepers have utility too.
this looks like a decent modern deck, but would be a better pioneer deck potentially
I had no idea about those formats tbh, so couldn't say.
That was fun! :)
Glorious, glorious jank.
Burn and Merfolk? It's a blast from the past this week!
i think fury would have been better than cave in ^^
Fury doesn't hit everything in the same way. Fury is definitely a better card no questions asked, but I was indexing heavily into the synergy
@@crucible_of_words which was fun to watch ^^
FYI. The reason for Emrakul > Kozilek if you're incredibly unlikely to ever cast either is that you sideboard mapping might work out such that you can board in Emrakul against Show & Tell decks, and sometimes just get a free win. I've definitely played Emrakul in the sideboard for this reason (and won with it against S&T).
I get that, but I can cast a Kozilek here ;)
Already off to a good start with "Ill-Lonered Temper" and "Ill-Loaded Temple"
