Both degenerate aggro & hard control decks will never be fun to play against because they take away your ability to play the game in an interactive way. Essentially they don’t care what you do, or they counter everything you do, preventing you from having an interactive game. Same as Kano, it’s the player playing solitaire with their deck, not playing against their opponent. Sucks…

I have questions for Rob if he wants to answer them, mostly contrasting his list with Mercy's. 1) I've heard people down on Static Shock feeling it was clunky. How did it perform? Would he swap it for either her Sigil of Solace or Blue Heaven's Claws? 2) Sounds like he wasn't happy with Erase Face and DIO caught a ban anyway, are there other cards he's looking at to shore up other matchups after the bans? 3) Blink vs Sigil of Lightning? 4) Aether Ironweave/CoD sure looked good on camera. Does he still feel it's not worth running?

Nice shout out for Moonshot right there lol

intro song goes HARD

Simon's point about LSS not banning a card that just won worlds is likey correct. I really appreciated the tempered discussion here, as its a complex issue. While CYB is probably technically fine at the top tier, the fallout at the LGS level right now is not OK, and it's going to get worse now that it's "the best deck". I strongly believe it needs to go, but I don’t think it will.

Great stuff as always, thanks folks!

Do you need 18 blues? would any 3 block blue work if you dont have machination?

Agree with Trip, CYB just makes the game too long.

Amazing content ! Would you upload some gameplay videos by any chance ? Thanks !

Viserai!!!

Good to see you back gents!

As the resident PTP Aussie I'm not sure I can abide all this Aussie slander! :P Our meta is only strange because we are upside down!!

Hey, I want to start with FaB and would like to play Florian. I want to start the full format and not blitz. The obvious way would be to order singles. Would it also make sense to just start with a display of the Set in which Florian can be pulled and from where most of his cards are and then buy the missing singles? So I might have also a nice card stock and might have cards to build another hero from the set besides Florian. Or is the chance of pulling cards I need to small?

haha, I had the pod on in the background and absolutely shat myself when I heard my name out of nowhere! I'm Frazer, think the other kayo at the event was Matt Brown, didn't get to speak to matt, but i'm pretty sure he actually went on to win a PQ elsewhere the following week. Also on his camera game he seemingly didn't realise you only need AB1 to deal with any amount of runechants, showing how new he actually is, really impressive stuff from him. *edit: commented just before you mentioned the exact scenario i did, oops

Can I stay at someone's house? I can do dishes and have a charming American accent

I loved turtle burst until I played against enigma. Been playing the Brodie list a lot and really enjoying it. Have like a 75%WR on tali which is the best I’ve really ever performed. So much fun!

I would highly recommend a third rattle + cremation if you are looking for CYB tech. I think we are fast enough to just kill cyb decks, but if you want a little insurance, cremation turns on vis and waits for a rattle to hose their gy, turning future cybs into very bad cards. I played with Poison for a bit but actually found it pretty fucking awful with reaping blade.

It’s always a good day when there’s a video of Hamish talking about Vis to watch

Hey Hamish, Im the dude that won the battle hardened and I saw you were meh on runeflash. DONT CUT IT! Rune flash blue is actually your best blue IMO. in general its just your blue, youll be pitching and blocking with it, but some of your biggest turns end up not needing blues and you are able to cast it a lot more than you might think. and when you are casting it, its basically a head jab...but its blue and block 3. It having go again is really the big news with this card and lets you have as many playable hands as possible and makes it so you can still cast your mordred tides even if you have a hand that is primarily blue. oh and runic reckoning is often the 3rd card you play in a turn to get you up to 3 runechants after a malefic and vis trigger, and it forking your opponent between increased physical and further arcane has some contextual value.

Hi Hamish. Congrats on your result. Just wondering, do you think two Poison is enough or would you is 3 ideally better? Thank you.

Hamish, I started playing this game right around aria release and your decktech from that UK nats top 8 was what got me to pick up Vis as my first main. This vid is bringing back such fond memories of my beginnings and I'm gonna take this list with a few tweaks to my PQ this weekend (I've literally only been playing enigma the last 3-4 months so we might be a little rusty). Love all the way from the West Coast to you and the rest of the PTP boys ❤

Well played sir! Good to see Vis back in the game!! I’ve taken out a lot of the hats to fit in the tiara, 2 warmongers & 1 poison the well (May switch these ratios round with all the CYB in the game…) I’m also running Hit the high notes in place of the Drawn… But then , I haven’t actually played the deck yet!!

Fantastic final.

I was literally sitting next to Connor and Sammy when they had their first match Day 1, and it was pretty quick. I only caught a glimpse of it. I guess that was cursed because Sammy high rolled. And then the rematch in the top 8 was just hilarious. But nice to see Pablo & Connor get together to briefly review the calling ^^

Hard disagree on the Prism stuff. If you think that playing towards a single turn which *might* get you back in the game and win it is "rubbish" and "doing nothing", obviously you haven't played Prism yourself. You literally give up everything so that you can do this ONE powerful turn, which depending on draw RNG might not even win you the game on the spot, you are behind on HP getting devastated by on hits and btw this is strategy reserved for MUs which you can't win in any other way. With that gameplan out the hero is just gutted and the Lyon free ride on top of some Swiss RNG shouldn't be considered as a proof of the opposite.

Wtf I just practiced this matchup with my friend today FYI I was the Azalea

Florian Adult Form Needs 8 in the banish zone.. think he's played tons of blitz!

Verdance's feet were a hot commodity at the World Premiere.

Vynnset might be the best hero in the game, I have been playing her since she released and now the vision I had for her is finally doable. Between picking up the Eloquent Eulogy in MST and the several cards that she picked up from Rosetta its hit a critical threshold.

Wait, why Sizzle instead of Weave Lightning? They do exactly the same thing in our deck. I.e. Volzar wouldn't suddenly become a blade that deals physical damage

Great video thanks! Love GiaF art and flavor!

Cannot believe you aren't running floodgates. We like to draw cards.

Did the "resolve shock, activate Volzar, amp Comet Storm" thing a few times in draft today, it was so much fun to slam Comet Storm for 9!

So what I’m hearing is Oscilio could be a monster in the living legend format with all the tomes and such edit: he could also run ball lightning there

misspelled his name in the thumbnail, the disrespect 😂 I kid, great video guys.

Balance also gets to proc when you mind warp people!

That intro 😂 ded

great vid! BTW you can use press with GIAF during stack before its attacking to not lose GiaF effect but for the bounce of course you need another spell. Cool interaction though

bro cooked welllll

I am wondering why no ecletic magnetism? It is effectively a go again lightning if you play a spell off it?

Corker

The intro 💀

you're cranking out the quality tier s content

I really appreciate Hamish's review of Haunting Rendition

The goat!

She’s been my pick from the runeblades from the beginning of announcement. And now watching this makes me wanna build her even more great insight and deck tech! Will be playing this deck. To test then making it my own. Been playing boltyn Cheerios for a long time and this deck reminds me of that deck with some great twists.

Banger

Love the deck tech, the sow seeds explanation of it banishing itself and fulfilling the 4th + earth card to switch on equipment etc was great, and honestly surprised me. Helps switch your mid-game on much earlier. I've always been a Vynnset main, so never had any CNC/ E-strikes, is there any recommendations for strong alternatives? Probably just another good card instead of something that's a worse version of the aforementioned right? Subbed and liked, great content!

Okay now I cannot unsee running James White on Snatch
