No worries about the missed days man, I'm just happy that you're able to churn these videos out without sacrificing quality. btw, I said this a few times on your other videos, but I really think that youtube shorts are the secret sauce to getting visibility with the current youtube algorithm. I've seen channels explode in popularity by making 5 or so shorts per week. Honestly you could just clip 1 highlight per video and upload them as a youtube shorts and it would do wonders for your channel because the quality is already there. I'd love to see a brew based around Artist's Talent, keep up the good fight my dude!
Hey man! Here's an idea for more standardized content: Daily Theory Crafting Reels and TikToks: -Build around cards for decks -Side decks cards -Great lands and land distributions Involve Your Community: -Patreon: Tell you what deck to build from those theory crafting shorts -Likes: You make a deck from the most liked short of reel. Channel Staples: -Meta Takes: Where you craft a deck that counters a specific meta deck or optimize. -Theorycrafting: Video where you make the deck mentioned in your reels. -Yank: Where you can let yourself free and craft a quirky deck for best of 3. -Budget: There's a huge audience for budget decks, and there's also a considerable deck-building challenge for these. I believe is a great opportunity for someone with your talents. End of the Month: -Community Tier List: You let your community vote for their favorite and least favorite decks of the month. From there, you create a Tier List -Your Tier List: Where you create your own tier list of decks you had the most fun with and least fun with. Yearly Bloopers A yearly blooper compilation from your games in videos and streams, which also ties your streams into your RUclips content. Publish Your Streams A lot of content creators do this, they have a separate channel where they upload their complete streams. Could be an option to consider. Stay strong my dude, you're amazing.
What a list! Love these! I'll throw one in that I've literally never seen before. Maybe I missed it but Idk.. What about a collab between creators? Two great deckbuilders, Mogwai and Swayze or Mogwai and Sloth, you get it, working together to make a working deck, maybe even with a theme or specific purpose. I think it would fit this channel super well too and is an opportunity to merge audiences with another creator both bringing eachother more views, in theory. I feel like it would be fun watching two builders bounce ideas off of one another and just having fun with the process that's traditionally done alone. Plus as viewers we'd be able to see two viewpoints of the same final deck on each respective creators channel. More games for viewers to watch! Thoughts?
I love that in a world where Bandit's Talent has been all over the place, and now Caretaker's Talent is getting a lot of attention, Mogwai busts out two absolute killer decks using Builder's Talent and now Scavenger's Talent. This is exactly what makes this channel the clear best in a very crowded space.
and the Builder's Talent deck is legitimately nuts! I got a 1/1 fish gifted to me and made it a 22/22 in one turn to one shot the opponent right after lol. It's SO satisfying to play. All the triggers are pure dopamine lol
Yes PLEASE showcase your decks more than once after you brewed and put so much effort into them. Its like a cook who invented a super delicious new dish, we want to eat it again and again and again. And dont be so hard on yourself, youre doing amazing and I think I speak for everyone when saying that quality goes over quantity. Quality needs time so upload when its ready, theres no need to justify that. Youre amazing Miguel, we love ya!
I remember following you during the transition from MTG arena to LOR, and I'm thankful that you introduced me to such a wonderful cardgame. You still have a solid viewer base, and your effort doesn't go without notice. Keep with the grind, your content has always been of the highest quality.
Man, I was demoralized with standard. I played your ratgari deck to death. It was my favorite "go to" golgari deck. Then rotation and the discard/life gain plague happened. This deck absolutely put a smile on my face. I created so many food tokens in my first game I started giggling. I didn't even get the vein ripper. Just reanimated 5 spiders and demoed their board. Thank you for doing what you do. I needed this deck.
Love your decks Mogwai. Thank you for all your efforts to keep the creativity and quality rolling in the MTG Arena community! If it's up to me I enjoy seeing your good brews two days in a row. Might take some of the pressure off.
I’m soooo fricking glad I finally decided to pick magic up, I grew up on yugioh, bounced between Hs and runeterra.. can’t believe it took me so long to think about magic
I really really enjoy your content and enjoy the brews you make. If you feel like a new brew isnt ready yet I have absolutely 0 problems with a video of a deck you already showcased. Not only isnt it a problem I would like to see that even. I feel like so many of your decks still have so much to show that I would love to see.
Hey Mog, keep it up. I love every single deck you have built since you came back to MTG. You are going to run me out of wildcards at this pace 😂 every time you upload I get the urge to try the cook myself 😅 I can’t get enough. You have a talent (pun intended) of making every strategy seem so fun. Best of luck and happy to support you whatever way possible. Un saludo :)
I’d love to see you revisit your most popular decks. Maybe once a week. “Y’all love my squirrel deck. It’s back today for a round two.” Might also be a way for you to maintain a daily load.
Pitiless Carnage is an obscenely good card for Scavenger's Talent. I would strongly consider this card. It is capable of winning on the spot with either ST or Vein Ripper. I've been chaining Vinelasher/Lumra/Mudflat Village. I enjoyed watching your video and seeing Vein Ripper in action
Hey mog! Don’t worry about missing uploads on certain days, we know you care about the quality of your videos. Also, it’s fine if you do some meta decks from time to time, it’s also great to hear your insight on why they are so good, and maybe they can get more views because they are less niche (says the person with no idea about how RUclips works)😅
I started playing a month ago and just hit mythic on Thursday. Have been experimenting with squirrels with viper since then love to see i am not the only one, but I run more of a midrangey squirrel deck that ends in viper but I just have a 52% winrate with it
Have you considered streaming your optimization process? I’m really curious about your thoughts on what to include/ what to drop when making a deck. Also that way you even if a deck takes a long time to make you at least get extra content for streaming
Love the video! When are you going to brew up a updated outlaw deck with the visage card and arch necromancer card that resurrects something when it strikes face?
nice deck I've been waiting for someone to do a vid on Scavenger's talent, I've been working on building a deck with it since it's release, I ended up building around Lich-Knights' Conquest so i can just resummon my whole graveyard with all the food and other tokens, deck below if anyone is interested Deck 2 Asinine Antics 4 Cavern of Souls 4 Darkslick Shores 2 Fomori Vault 3 Greedy Freebooter 1 Haywire Mite 1 Hedge Maze 1 Honest Rutstein 2 Island 3 Kitesail Larcenist 3 Lich-Knights' Conquest 2 Mirrex 2 Mockingbird 3 Oracle of Tragedy 3 Roaming Throne 3 Sarinth Steelseeker 4 Scavenger's Talent 2 Sunken Citadel 2 Surrak and Goreclaw 1 Swamp 3 The Witch's Vanity 3 Thopter Mechanic 2 Undercity Sewers 2 Yavimaya Coast 2 Zimone and Dina
Pow pow pow what a great deck ! I'll try it for sure. You are pretty close to a Food Mill deck... Have you considered Pitiless carnage as a backup plan ? Or the malvolent witchkite ? Hope your next vid is about that delicious keen Roots deck I saw on your screen. I play an abzan version with Zoraline which is amazing. Can't wait to see your ideas. Take any time you need, love the quality of the content much more than the quantity ! ❤❤
Not only you can miss a day, but also you can make two or more days with a row with a deck if you didn't find satisfying matchups in the first session. I say that because it seems like deck building takes way more time than just recording matches. We'll be happy to see some decks against something else than black discard so if you stress too much over not uploading, there is that too. But don't worry about a missed day
I really enjoyed your rotation proof deck and i think it would be interesting if you revisited them with the new set and see how they hold up in the new meta.
Hey Mogwai, I think it's okay if you upload a video where you discover the deck is not up to par and just upload an updated to version later. just my opinion but maybe other people feel like that too...
I feel like the deck could do with Tarrian's Journal to have a draw engine. I really like using it with scavenger talent (to get food on both my turn and opponent turn then I can sac the food to keep drawing with the journal) braids arisen nightmare also is pretty fun but works less since it's more fragile (creature) and needs you opponent not to sacrifice (which a lot of deck in the meta right now will). I am actually trying a version of the boros control deck using black and braids and journal (and I am thinking of adding scav talent to it) to maximize the forge (and skiter which is another card that will pop uss tokens all the time) to try to have stuff enter and die ALL THE TIME. (because boros control is HYPER reliant in the caretaker talent to get their draw going, so I thought having the journal would be a good alternative and then things snowballed out of control and it became a different deck xD). Your opponent probably scooped because lack of talent. If that deck doesnt draw the talent it doesnt do much (and if it draws it, it goes nuts)
Personally, I don't mind nonedited videos. I always like your rambling, even if you don't always have the best mood. I watched a lot of your twitch VODs through. With nonedited videos, you can: - save time not editing them - background music stays consistent - longer videos Of course, since I'm not on RUclips, I don't know how the algo works, but it's just an opinion. I really liked your streams. If you take a look at DumbDog, he also streams on twitch and just uploads among us vods from it and gets decent views on those videos, and they are uncut.
35:20 sacrifice 3 creatures bring skyfisher sacrifice another creature to target and destroy another creature you control (both izoni tokens, butcher vermin and the rat) = 10 vein ripper damage :O
MogWai!! I finally made a competitive ICHORMOON GAUNTLET, Grixis infinite turn superfriends deck build! If you're interested in the build, let me know and I can send it to you
Would rather wait an extra day for the most creative and interesting decks to watch be played then the average MTG creator all playing the same thing everyday.
Just a thought, what if you recorded yourself testing out the deck and posting long ass videos as you make adjustments to them? This way, we can see just how much work you put into making these decks, and if you put a decent amount of ads in the video, I bet you'd make a nice chunk o change. Plus, you shouldn't have to edit it too much. Some RUclipsrs have been using long videos to their advantage, especially if people fall asleep while watching them. That's not to say you are boring, I just mean its likely your audience may watch your videos before bed and leave it running overnight. Anyways... something to consider.

I second this! Shorts are the way to go!!!
i third this . all you have to do is title todays deck while showing a good combo moment in a shorts and watch them come up to you
Hey man! Here's an idea for more standardized content:
Daily Theory Crafting Reels and TikToks:
-Build around cards for decks
-Side decks cards
-Great lands and land distributions
Involve Your Community:
-Patreon: Tell you what deck to build from those theory crafting shorts
-Likes: You make a deck from the most liked short of reel.
Channel Staples:
-Meta Takes: Where you craft a deck that counters a specific meta deck or optimize.
-Theorycrafting: Video where you make the deck mentioned in your reels.
-Yank: Where you can let yourself free and craft a quirky deck for best of 3.
-Budget: There's a huge audience for budget decks, and there's also a considerable deck-building challenge for these. I believe is a great opportunity for someone with your talents.
End of the Month:

-Your Tier List: Where you create your own tier list of decks you had the most fun with and least fun with.

A lot of content creators do this, they have a separate channel where they upload their complete streams. Could be an option to consider.
Stay strong my dude, you're amazing.
I really love all these ideas. I think he could pull them off super well
What a list! Love these!

Just when I needed his upload most, he returned 😁
I remember following you during the transition from MTG arena to LOR, and I'm thankful that you introduced me to such a wonderful cardgame. You still have a solid viewer base, and your effort doesn't go without notice.
Keep with the grind, your content has always been of the highest quality.
Miguel, do everyone a favor! Don't push yourself to upload every day. Don't even promise us everyday videos. I just love when you upload!
Your Last Three Decks Have Been Masterclass. Thank you for all the work and dedication you put into them. ❤
Hello Mog, just wanted you to know that you are easily the best mtg arena content creator there is! So glad to have you back!
Man, I was demoralized with standard. I played your ratgari deck to death. It was my favorite "go to" golgari deck. Then rotation and the discard/life gain plague happened. This deck absolutely put a smile on my face. I created so many food tokens in my first game I started giggling. I didn't even get the vein ripper. Just reanimated 5 spiders and demoed their board. Thank you for doing what you do. I needed this deck.
hey man, nice to see you back into MTG. Your Grixis Fires deck back in Eldraine was one of the funniest I ever played!!!!
Love your decks Mogwai. Thank you for all your efforts to keep the creativity and quality rolling in the MTG Arena community! If it's up to me I enjoy seeing your good brews two days in a row. Might take some of the pressure off.
*epic brews
Mogwai can't get away from reanimators! 😅
This is why we wait. What a deck man. Keep taking your time in giving us these amazing decks.
I’m soooo fricking glad I finally decided to pick magic up, I grew up on yugioh, bounced between Hs and runeterra.. can’t believe it took me so long to think about magic
Your decks have been such a breath of fresh air from all the copy pasta decks online. Love to see it!!
He FINALLY built it! This is such a Mogwai card I was just waiting to see the sauce
Definitely worth the wait! That last game, dayum
Wil be happy to see more of this deck . The Wick deck was epic 2. I watched it like 4 times
I really really enjoy your content and enjoy the brews you make.
If you feel like a new brew isnt ready yet I have absolutely 0 problems with a video of a deck you already showcased. Not only isnt it a problem I would like to see that even. I feel like so many of your decks still have so much to show that I would love to see.
Damn I wish more people would give this man the credit and views he deserves.
We love your devotion and creativity Mogwai! No worries!
Taking an extra day to ensure quality is always worthwhile! Though of course it’s a treat that we get such regular videos too
Hey Mog, keep it up. I love every single deck you have built since you came back to MTG. You are going to run me out of wildcards at this pace 😂 every time you upload I get the urge to try the cook myself 😅 I can’t get enough. You have a talent (pun intended) of making every strategy seem so fun.

Best MTGA creator! Love your content bro!
Brilliant deck.Just beautiful to watch vain ripper combo go off.
From LOR to MAGIC hehe nice seeing u again mogwai

That last match was insaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaane
Thank you for making a list that will let me use Izoni. I've tried (and failed) to get her to function for a while now.
Oooh, I've been super interested in Scavenger's talent. Looking forward to this one!
As usual, a comment for the algorithm.
Very curious to see your take on scavenger's talent. This is going to be good. :)
I started playing a month ago and just hit mythic on Thursday. Have been experimenting with squirrels with viper since then love to see i am not the only one, but I run more of a midrangey squirrel deck that ends in viper but I just have a 52% winrate with it

Hey mogwai, really enjoying the mtg contente!
I just miss some Bo3 content, like the old days.
Anyway, thanks for the content
The Man, The Myth, The MEGAMOGWAI!!!!
The ending was just pure folly for me.
Pow pow pow what a great deck ! I'll try it for sure. You are pretty close to a Food Mill deck... Have you considered Pitiless carnage as a backup plan ? Or the malvolent witchkite ?
Hope your next vid is about that delicious keen Roots deck I saw on your screen. I play an abzan version with Zoraline which is amazing. Can't wait to see your ideas.

hey man thank you for another quality video. you need to establish an "super thanks" that we can donate you for the hard work. really think about it.
Thank you for your dedication. We can wait on videos.
Doesnt need to be soon, but I hope to see you cook up another Squirrel deck ^^
Neat deck! It would be cool if you had this as the Bo1 channel and you made a separate channel where you play the decks in Bo3.
I really enjoyed your rotation proof deck and i think it would be interesting if you revisited them with the new set and see how they hold up in the new meta.
Last game was extremely satisfying.
Love the content, don't burn yourself out man. I hope you'll make some BO3 videos again, those are my favorites. Take care !
Hey Mogwai, I think it's okay if you upload a video where you discover the deck is not up to par and just upload an updated to version later.
just my opinion but maybe other people feel like that too...

Your opponent probably scooped because lack of talent. If that deck doesnt draw the talent it doesnt do much (and if it draws it, it goes nuts)
Yess please... Do more than 1 video with the same deck at times... Especially if you do best of 3s
Personally, I don't mind nonedited videos. I always like your rambling, even if you don't always have the best mood. I watched a lot of your twitch VODs through.
With nonedited videos, you can:
- save time not editing them
- background music stays consistent
- longer videos
Of course, since I'm not on RUclips, I don't know how the algo works, but it's just an opinion.
I really liked your streams. If you take a look at DumbDog, he also streams on twitch and just uploads among us vods from it and gets decent views on those videos, and they are uncut.
i don't play this game but that was sick play at the end. and i love pings game plan slow burn reminds me of swain from legend of runeterra rip.
Average MTG Fan: I want my made to order meta breaker deck right now please
MegaMogwai fans: Let him cook
One comment for the algorithm. I hope you will be able to get back to where you were before, you deserve it.
Insane deck. Someday will have enough wildcards for it
How in the world is this deck winning =o Good job!
That last game was one very worthy final boss
The last game was so tense omg.... i just hate playing against control man, its so tired xd
This is a fun one! Also please make that Patreon Mogwai I’m dying to give you my money!!!
Sometimes I start making a deck around a cool card. Then during testing, the cool card the entire deck revolves around gets cut. Magic is strange.
Hey man! Awesome video! Going to try it.
Please make a dragon deck in the future 🙏
And set a patreon! you are the best.
35:20 sacrifice 3 creatures bring skyfisher sacrifice another creature to target and destroy another creature you control (both izoni tokens, butcher vermin and the rat) = 10 vein ripper damage :O
I very much appreciate repeat decks! Esp as a non magic player haha
now i have to debate with myself if I'm going to make this one or the grixis rat one from couple of days ago
Amazing deck!
Imo you don't need to upload every day, every 2 days really is fine
Missing a day of upload doesn't bother me personally at all. I just hope you stay fresh and enjoy the ride as much as you can!
nice one!
My daily medicine!
I actually miss editing the videos. 🥹 ❤
we miss your videos as well
😎 add more memes shermie
I suggest playing more meta decks for the competitive audience
MogWai!! I finally made a competitive ICHORMOON GAUNTLET, Grixis infinite turn superfriends deck build! If you're interested in the build, let me know and I can send it to you
offering for the algorithm
Mogwai where is the Patreon
These 280 people are the real ones
Don’t worry about missing days. Absence makes the heart fonder, familiarity breeds contempt, quality over quantity, etc.❤
Would rather wait an extra day for the most creative and interesting decks to watch be played then the average MTG creator all playing the same thing everyday.
What you mean there is no Camelia in a golgari food deck???
Comment for the algorithm ❤
I would love when you re-visit this deck if you would make and play a bo3 version?
Dont u wanna share ur untapped profile with us? Ur playing with that anyway so we could see all the games u play
I love u Miguel
Bro, just give us bats.
Just a thought, what if you recorded yourself testing out the deck and posting long ass videos as you make adjustments to them?
This way, we can see just how much work you put into making these decks, and if you put a decent amount of ads in the video, I bet you'd make a nice chunk o change. Plus, you shouldn't have to edit it too much.
Some RUclipsrs have been using long videos to their advantage, especially if people fall asleep while watching them. That's not to say you are boring, I just mean its likely your audience may watch your videos before bed and leave it running overnight.
Anyways... something to consider.
