Pls more

This is cool. I saw Belbe a while ago but was never quite sure how to get her working without jumping through too many hoops.

Cascading Cataracts is a good/cheap land for filtering.

This is a really good hamburger

I have to say, I really like these very low CMC ramp commanders and what they do to alter a deck's mana curve. It kind of ends up looking like a hamburger - you have the buns, the low cmc and high cmc cards - and then the middle-cmc stuff in the middle is the rest.

OK, that's a MARVELOUS tale, but in a game with 9 turns of significant action, you will only draw 7 + 9 = 16 plus any extra card draw (lets call that 6 cards, could be more, could be less), so you have 22 out of 99, plus your 2 commanders (usually one commander). Chances that your nice ideal plan comes off is thus 20% FOR EACH TURN, so basically the plot you describe is about a 1 in 1000 possibility. Obviously SOMETHING will happen every game, but your 15 1 drops only give you a 75% chance of ANY one drop. Repeat this for 2 drops, 3 drops, etc. We're already well below 50% that you will hit your curve AT ALL, and many combinations of those 3 cards won't be ideal.

I think this is a really cool concept and I can definitely take away some good info, but I also feel like I look at my decks and it doesn't always apply very easily. I feel like it works well in some colors/strategies that have a lot of cheap cards and obviously the examples you give align very well, but I wonder what advice you'd give for strategies that aren't green go-wide/lifegain? What if my color identity doesn't have many cheap options that fit my strategy? Do I cut synergy cards that are more expensive and add cards that are not exactly in my strategy but fit the 1-4 schedule? Add in cheap tutors or Ponder/Opt/Brainstorm so I'm at least advancing my plan? Some secret fourth thing??

This is a tasty (ham)burger.

my favorite line from Dune (2021) is when the Sadaukar chant "hamburger cheeseburger big mac whopper"

No swiftfoot boots?

The hamburglar took my kids

Love this kind of video format you’re starting to do. Keep making these PLEASE.

This is perfect timing, i just started to build a belbe list last night lol

How have I never seen this card before... seems busted.

I actually JUST built my newest deck with this sort of mindset. Figuring out what I wanted to do on each turn up to turn 5 Then determining what the ordee of things should look like, which tells you the mana curve of these options. Then used a hypergeometric calculator to figure the density of these effects needed And the deck just instantly preforms. Ive been able to make tiny adjustments here and there, but that was more so noticing i could drop 1 or 2 ramp spells, and changong out options for better / more synergistic options. Like swapping out arcane signet for ignoble hierarch or blood artist for mayhem devil.

i have a soft spot for two-drop commanders and belbe is one that i’ve wanted to build for a while. i’ll try to come up with some new ideas and not copy this build too much though lol. anyway, really cool video idea; i’ve watched a few live builds and it’s helpful to watch other people’s processes as a less initiated player myself.

This commander made it in as a $20 budget deck for a White Elephant gift exchange my LGS did and it was a powerhouse, not to mention fun.

I always like Henzie for this example. Turn 1 I want a Vampiric Rites, Evolutionary Leap, some ceap easy value for later. 2, mana - fixing or extra, I'll know my opening hand can handle it. 3, it's my boi. And 4, I should be ready to start throwing big Jund value around. 3 mana blitz nets a card plus whatever value I set up does the trick. If Henzie gets removed? Oh, I'm delayed a turn but then the bigger discount means I double blitz next time.

My deck is a well oiled machine that turns card draw into land draw when i need interaction the most

This is hilarious given I'm literally a machine operator 😂

What if your setup is a defensive strategy, where turns 1-4 involve interaction to slow down your opponent while you build mana to bring out a haymaker? Or to lure opponents into your turn 4 board wipe to set them back? Your game plan then requires less automation and more assessment of how your opponent's board state is developing so that you can use that interaction. You may need more finesse and flexibility instead of casting something on each turn - preserve cards while your opponents lose theirs. There’s some good advice in here, but I pilot my decks, they don’t play themselves.

I play this EXACT partner pairing and have these exact sequences in my deck

It is satisfying to see that this is why my toski deck is low power but terrifying: i play mana dork and deathtouch creatures, get toski out to convert those creatures into cards, then find my finishers.

This playstyle would get you killed at my lgs. There's far too much interaction to plan things that far ahead. I do like the thought process, though!

How do you calculate how many 1/2/3 drops including in order to have em in early turns?

Turn your deck into a machine, the way Phyrexia always intended. Once it’s compleated, you’ll feel nothing but bliss as you commit atrocities to all your opponents.

Can you make a video on some basic wording. Here is an example: Mist dancer. There is a lot of talk online about the Encore, but I question what seems like the easy part, "Other Merfolk you control get +1/+0 and have flying". Does this apply to all merfolk coming after I play Mist Dancer?

How do you go about building a schedule for a more controlling deck?

my prayers were answered and I stumbled upon this video. I want to build Prava/Ikra so damn long and now I have a list to work with 🙏🏼

bro the moment you said machine operator i got the concept. that is part of my job so that hooked me RIGHT in

One of the easiest examples: your Commander is 4 CMC. You want to play them when you have 4 mana. Don’t have a lot of 4 mana cards in your deck, bc you’d rather play your commander. Have 3 or 5 mana cards instead

My deck is a machine that sometimes won't even start, but some other times would suddenly go on overdrive. There's no in-between.

Great video, but the more I play the more I build my deck in the total opposite of what you are describing, if you are building a battlecruiser with value piece you are gonna be the arch ennemy at some point in the game and there is some chance people are gonna use so much removal on you and you can't comeback from the game. I prefer to run more political cards or hatepiece like eye of singularity or leyline of singularity to shut off the people playing the same staples from gaining value. To me, to be the underdog is easier to came on top at the end if your deck can have 3 to 4 way of winning instead on just focusing playing the biggest cards or board state to have the biggest creatures. I also tend to avoid the big staples like smothering tithe or the combo sanguine bond and exquisite blood because the moment you play them people are just gonna recognize the threat immediatly, it's also the same exact staples in every decks and to play the same cards over and over is extremely boring to me and the people around me. For example I run a life swap decks with a ton of alternative plans with selenia dark angel as a commander, the deck is very junky but has 5 ways of winning without sanguine bond/exquisite.

Let me save everyone time. It's clickbait. 2:55 and this guy is rambling on about basic stuff calling it scheduleing. Nothing new, nothing special.

I watched the Salubrious Snake $100 Pirate deck video where he goes over this concept just before this. I’ll listen to useful info twice in a row.

My deck is a well oiled machine that transforms 60+ of my favorite cards into a turn 3 "Bruh why me? I don't even have anything out yet!"

Overall this very is exactly how I now build decks. In my play group, I'm always the arch enemy because of my experience and knowledge in the game in comparison to everyone else. Which means I'm always the person to beat. My decks on average are at a power level of 8 to 10 and everyone else's decks range from the power level of 6 to 9. Keep in mind that I actively help push them to improve at magic and make it as fair of a fight as possible

As I was watching this I realize I already do this lol

My deck isn't going to be a machine operator until Aetherdrift comes out.

If there’s not one single answer, why do you kinda present it that way? a deck that wants to win with aggro does NOT need 16-20 removal spells. you can run like 10 creatures that remove stuff plus 5 board protection spells and youre good to go. the fewer creatures you play, the less you will win with creatures. why remove a threat when i can keep on drawing my own threats? and in a control deck, i think you should run AT LEAST 20 removal spells because you need time to build your own board

None of your draws give you card advantage

It’s all about rotation. Keep them rotating so you don’t just get better with one deck over another. I try to keep Well rounded with different tribal decks.

I think the big problem with the deck is playing on your own at a table of four. This deck’s extra turns will not create fun gameplay.

Tried to tell my gf cheating isnt a negative term and she strongly disagreed . Did you know you still get A few brake pumps if the brake line is cut?

Awesome vid as always! I dont play as much as I build, but I do get to goldfish a bitand see how smooth the deck runs in a vaccuum and make tweaks. Most of my decks take a week or so to build at all, and then dont get to evolve much further. That being said! I do have a deck tjat I could relate this cinematic proccess too... and thats my Varina deck. I focus more on the looting aspect of the deck using only a few Lords and payoffs as my creature base, undead warchief / bone miser ect. And the bulk of my zombies, are tokens generated from discarded and used interaction. Ive gone from Yennette to Varina to Scarab God to Raffine to Tymna/Kydele finally back to Varina and the deck not only functions beyond its "power level / value" but it has such a unique and developed play pattern where its "definitely my deck" and it just feels so good to play

is there a budget version of jetmir deck?

Inkshield may cost a lot to hold up, but it wins nearly every game I play it in.

I had built your Otharrinlidt when you first published your video on it. While i gavent played it in a while, im definitely interested in your no limits Gut list and luckily a lot of thr parts overlap

I'd love to try your Queen Marza deck against... or not... my friendly not so friendly Tivit Politically "in"Correct deck.

Ahh, the goldfish fog meta is spreading.
