Hey man!:) Oh boy, that's a complex question - overall I started magic when I was teenager, many many years ago - I was completely fixated on it and spend literally whole days making imaginary mean decks (and proxing sinkholes, to my friends' eyerolls) - of course with cheapest proxies (so piece of paper, over basic land card, naming 40$ card that I never even had😂🦥). Spent my whole days at local store with other Mtg enthusiasts back then, trading cards, learning decks etc. I was playing in national tournaments (had some decent results in Tournament scene), I believe mirrodin/kamigawa were the big sets back then, with skullclamp getting banned - I was playing tooth and nail as my tournament deck (and sceptertog as my fun deck) - going fnms etc. Then after few years, I kinda had huge break, for probably like 10 years+, and came back when Mtg Arena was a fresh beta (I think it was like at least 2 years in beta? It felt like long time before it hit the final version) - even parallax styles introduction was pretty big "new" thing :) So yeah, pretty long on magic overall :) Outside of mtg I played many many other games (I'm a pretty hardcore gamer), so I was at quite pro level also at sc2, even coaching for some months, as well as long time eve online player, and probably playing thousands of other games in my lifetime :) So I'm generally quite decent at typical gaming decision making :) So yeah, wanted to share some Sloth's lore, hope it was a fun read!❤❤🦥 Glad you are enjoying the content, thank you!
@@SlothMtg uhhh okay thats a Long time, i played Magic as a kid too but Not so intense just with my Friends. And sc2 too when it was released for 2/3 years @low Master Ranking- today i Watch only the tournaments and sometimes streams. I want to get better in Magic so i enjoy your Videos. 🤗👍👍👍
Jim Davis has played Impulse over Experimental Augury in his Mindsplice decks, he said he would rather play a good card that helps find Mindsplice than a worse card that is better when he already has the engine. In practice I have to agree with him, something to consider. Sweet deck, thanks for the daily uploads Sloth!
Jim is extremely smart player, and I can totally see this point - that's usually why I didn't use augury in mindsplice decks - if you already have the setup, game is already on the easy side, but if it isn't, getting extra card can be game-defining. So yeah, agree, good reasoning :)
sloth i need your help. remember the old jeskai ascendancy deck in standard during kahns of tarkir. well insidious roots song of totenzsan and valley flood caller allow you to have infinite mana add in artist talent and now your are able to dig through your deck to cast a second copy of song to mKe enough rats to untap and attack with everything for lethal.
Fun deck. Thanks to artifacts being difficult to remove in Bo1, the Mind Splicer has some staying power. It destroys the discard decks, but, as always, struggles against the red decks.
Trick against aggro is try to make situation, where you bluff interaction, to force attack that is not lethal - because in reality you aren't going to interact with anything (just drop splicer). If you can find single spot like that during the game, you can usually quickly recover with extra tempo:)
@@SlothMtg Yeah, I had a good run with this yesterday, but today I ran into that new Boros deck with the forge and Caretaker's Talent for card draw and they have started playing Abrade! Blah. it was already a tough match, but winnable if you could get your Mindsplicer going, but now it's hard.
Does Jace work in this list? I was thinking Jace + Mindsplice powered Robbery would be a huge mill package. Not sure what to cut though; maybe Intimidation Campaign?
Jace is a bit of a win more card in this deck. Robbery + mindsplice tends to be enough most of the time. Risking drawing more potentially dead cards vs aggro is risky.
Robbery is your Jace :) Jace doesn't synergize in any way with apparatus, while robbery does it perfectly, also supplementing value with card draw. That's the whole reason to go dimir with splice - to have access to robbery. Jace is cool, but here it's just inferior option imho
I love mindsplice so much in my control decks, but I miss black march so badly. I feel like the meta is is so aggressive, and without a large lifegain source its really risky to go control on the ladder.
Yeah, I'm hiding this secret tech of 4 mana black emperor, to get some easy wins - but as seen on the video aggro players are already aware of her 😂🤷♂️🦥
Kinda, today it's first day when I'm feeling relatively ok - was a pretty hellish time:) But today I'm back to grind, and we should catch up quickly I think! Thanks bro❤🦥
Oh my friend, you are welcome to not be bored and play game until the end - to the point when you inevitably get forced out of it :) This is always a weak argument imho - in control decks, gaining control over the game is wincon. When you can't die, it doesn't matter how you force opponent out X turns later. I always find it funny to hear this argument, as leaving game is actually what aggro players are supposed to do, to avoid getting more and more destroyed every turn, after they lost control over the game. Honestly, wincons are only here to force players out - that don't understand that the game is already lost for them. So if you feel that wincon is getting bored, please play until the end, and you will see that it's not boredom that ends games, its knowledge aggro can't win anymore :) And it's not aimed at being mean in any way - just wanted to comment on this argument as it is as overused, as deprived of real base imho :) Cheers and hope you enjoyed the video Bro!❤🦥
Hey Sloth, how Long du u play Magic yet?
You Are a very good Player, love ur content 👍

Nice, very cool control deck, our Sloth never fails to deliver.
Thanks bro - love to hear this!:)

10:27 Drawing those 7 lands was rough. Man, gotta love the shuffler sometimes:) Awesome video! Love the deck and your content!!
Thanks man :D And ye, draws like this always crush my soul a little bit 🤷♂️🦥
Definitely will try this deck, I’ve found Mindsplice to be a very valuable card especially with these new mono black discard decks
sloth i need your help.
remember the old jeskai ascendancy deck in standard during kahns of tarkir.
well insidious roots song of totenzsan and valley flood caller allow you to have infinite mana add in artist talent and now your are able to dig through your deck to cast a second copy of song to mKe enough rats to untap and attack with everything for lethal.
You're so good at magic man
I know right :D And then the next moment.. I'm super bad at magic again 😂🤷♂️
Nice silver scrutiny for 6 lads
I'm not a very good player after all 😂🤷♂️🦥
He took out the red land after exiling the only red card of the deck XD
More Dimir! ❤❤❤
THE ABSOLUTE LEGENDARY DIMIR LEGEND!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Love to hear this my friend - I think it can be done :D
@SlothMtg clearly you are the Dimir master! But Azorius is also glorious
That one scrutiny draw reminds me of sonio's videos
True :D
Minsdplice is one of my favourite
Very cool deck!!
Thanks Bro - we will be having some more Dimir soon!

Hey sloth, a while back you built a temur food deck with 4 goose mothers. Will you try that deck again in the current meta?
Kept us waiting boss :D
But it was worth the wait!:D
love the deck! Are we going to see you at MTG vegas?
Nah, I'm completely not at this stage man - this is still a pretty small channel :) Not really going into real-live events anytimes soon🤷♂️🦥
Mindsplice and kearvek would be so fun. Oh i play breach from my graveyard buecuse i played a duress.

Yep, that was big card I missed for this build :)
Dimir Day 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love it 😍😍
Hahah, I had to stop watching for sec to make this comment:
Can you please make more decks with Black mana Emperor 😅😂😂 💙🖤
Yeah, I'm hiding this secret tech of 4 mana black emperor, to get some easy wins - but as seen on the video aggro players are already aware of her 😂🤷♂️🦥
It is our deck now
By the power of yoink - thy will possess it now - for eternity!
Sloth time :)
Why cant evwryday be dimir or mono black day?😂
next board clear
I mean, you can't play control decks without board clears 🤷♂️
Sup bro 😎
You back to healthy ?
Kinda, today it's first day when I'm feeling relatively ok - was a pretty hellish time:) But today I'm back to grind, and we should catch up quickly I think!
Thanks bro❤🦥

@@SlothMtg I always enjoy your videos. No worries, I’m not easily offended. 👍
So...magic is not rigg right?
Idk about rigged but something is broken when you get mana locked on the draw for 6 games in a row….
Shuffler is fine.
🤷♂️🦥
The value is epic! 🦥 :)
True, love the fact that this type of decks, make even control decks scared for their value proposition ;)
