Feels like connections should have just been phyrexian arena. Connections either effectively costs 4 or doesn't draw the first turn. In either case it uses 1 mana per turn. Phyrexian arena just circumvents all of that with the only downside being you can never get a card on the first turn
Honestly, this was so much fun. I laughed the entire way, as soon as they land a creature every game you just died, and you called out your death every time. "If they just play a thought knot seer I'm probably just dead", then they play a land and play Thought Knot Seer, absolutely hysterical.
A veryyyy long time ago I entered a tournament with a Winter Orb deck using Black Vice, Mole Worm, Ice Quake, Phyrexian Gremlins and Icy Manipulator to untap my Winter Orbs. This brought back some nostalgia. Which would be great except for what I had to trade to get Phyrexian Gremlins back then. *sob*
isn't Phyrexian Arena nearly always better than Underworld Connections? is having to virtually pay 1 mana each turn worth the optionality and timing upside? Or am i just missing something...
I thought the same thing. The only conclusion ive reached is that he decided that phyrexian arena will just kill you sometimes, so making it optional but cost a mana is a tradeoff worth making
Brian: "Vexing Bauble afffects nothing in my deck" Me, looking at Beseech The Mirror in his hand, hearing him talk about how he wants to bargain it: "Are you sure about that?"
I remember seeing Encroach for the first time in a Legacy video, and it was love at first sight. The game 1 opener really made me die of laughter. Awesome video!!!
I had no idea encroach was a card that exists I can imagine how reasonable it might have been back when it was printed but omg that card is disgusting Very unique effect 🧐
I had a Black red land death deck in the 90’s. I used 2x Ishan’s shade as a finisher. My only other creature was Giant Cockroach. Don’t know why I loves the card so much.
This is my kind of deck. Sinkhole was my favorite type 1 card back in the day. edit: PS, dude I laughed the exact same way as you did, at the exact same time 4:35
OMG the choice of basics. And I don't just mean "you chose Alpha basics." I mean your choice to use equal parts of all 3 options, rather than all being the same one art. That's how every player I knew did it back in the 90s!! True old school style.
I literally just took encroach into surgical extraction to scgcon. I though I was the only one who knew it existed 😂 also really been wanting to "desolation" as a disgusting card. Or check out "spreading algae" with an urborg out is fun times. To long letting these 3 or 4 color decks get away playing 5 mana producing lands
Underworld connection could be cling to dust, since rarely are you able to beseech if you're wasting and stuff. Also with getting mana screwed maybe you want some explore cards
32:20 I know they likely just counter it, but after Tamiyo ult, I was hoping you were gonna draw into vice with underworld connections. oh you caught it in the next game haha
The year is 2024. You queue into a top tier legacy pro. He proceeds to play the most rancid deck imaginable. Jewel isn’t a real deck confirmed. I was dying thinking about them getting back the jewels under vise. 😅
What a heart-breaker! It's almost like Wizards have purposefully made land destruction strategies non-viable because they're miserable for one of the players... But what about us Pox players?! 😢
@BoshNRoll I know that your sponsors don't require that you put stops before the ads. I also know that I'm not the only person bothered by this. I pay for youtube so I don't have to deal with ads. I would also be willing to bet that if you made this subtle change that in the long run you would financially benefit from it, as people like myself and others would be less likely to look for content elsewhere.
Could this deck run all smoother if it had maybe green I understand the premises but if you did want a semi comp version could it be like sultai or golgari
I have to admit, I do love seeing land destruction get pub stomped. Just wish WOTC had exercised the same wisdom about not making discard a viable strategy that they did with land destruction…
I saw the twitter post of you encroaching the single anceint tomb on t1 and have been waiting for this video :)
Same!
That laugh in game 1 is all I need to know that this is THE DECK of 2024
Feeling really stressed and couldn’t sleep. Decided to watch RUclips for 15 min to cheer up. Safe to say this “icequaking” wizard did the trick
Your poor round 1 opponent. "At least they can't Grief my land.."
First game, Turn one, maniacle laughter lol that made my day 😂
Encroach is the most disrespectful card I’ve ever seen and I’m swooning
Feels like connections should have just been phyrexian arena. Connections either effectively costs 4 or doesn't draw the first turn. In either case it uses 1 mana per turn. Phyrexian arena just circumvents all of that with the only downside being you can never get a card on the first turn
You also can't decide to turn it off, arena will kill you at one, but yeah that would have been a lot better tbh
Came down here to say the same thing.
You can technically bargain phyrexian arena away if you need to
It also seemed like caustic bronco would have done well in that slot considering how many times he was stuck on 2 mana
If the purpose of it was to be bargained to Beseech the Mirror it should 100% have been Treacherous Blessing
Wow, that last round was incredibly satisfying!

Nobody is born cool. Except of course... Mono Black LAND DEATH
Your reaction to the M1G1 Encroach was so much better than I'd have ever guessed when I saw you tweet about it.
My inner child is crying tears of joy seeing encroach and sinkhole.
This deck is so metal I need a tetanus shot.
Well, yeah, because it's rusted over...
You are a blessing for the MTG community. Thanks for the (evil) laughs!
if thou holdest a bosh pack, raze the lands of boredom and leave nothing but smoke and ash in its wake
may thine fire burn smartly
This has genuinely become my favorite joke 🤣
The joyous cackle at your opening salvo makes this some of the best content you've ever made! ❤

Damn bro they are $0.95 now

No it definitely is. I was chasing the brew sauce and skipped the obvious correct answer for some goofball shit.
I thought the same thing. The only conclusion ive reached is that he decided that phyrexian arena will just kill you sometimes, so making it optional but cost a mana is a tradeoff worth making

Me, looking at Beseech The Mirror in his hand, hearing him talk about how he wants to bargain it: "Are you sure about that?"
Is there a "love" button on this thing. . . . Very here for this content.
@20:29 Not a single card in my deck is affected by Vexing Bauble, not even the Beseech the Mirror in my hand.
Someone has never cast Diabolic Tutor. Psh.
I remember seeing Encroach for the first time in a Legacy video, and it was love at first sight. The game 1 opener really made me die of laughter. Awesome video!!!
Hell yes. Shared before watching!!
15:40 is the best
Land destruction pack, smoke 'em if you're getting kicked out of the casual edh playgroup!
What a legend! Seriously though every ancient tomb matchup felt winnable and the stone rains were reasonable multiple times.
I had no idea encroach was a card that exists
I can imagine how reasonable it might have been back when it was printed
but omg that card is disgusting
Very unique effect 🧐
Hi TerranCrypto37!!!
Sinkhole on thumbnail? I'm clicking xD
You betrayed the RUclipsr's oath. You should have ended the video on the first turn and the deck was perfect
That clip would be a great short.
Still laughing for the commentary in round 3, you're the best Bosh😂
Wow, this makes my inner Timmy so happy!
I had a Black red land death deck in the 90’s. I used 2x Ishan’s shade as a finisher. My only other creature was Giant Cockroach. Don’t know why I loves the card so much.
Why not Ireni Sengir hahaha
Honestly I was really impressed with this deck. I thought there was absolutely no way it could manage an hour-long video.
I wasn't sure I was going to get through all this but I'm glad I watched that last match. That was fun.
I had to step away before game 5 yesterday. I almost didn't come back, but I'm so glad I did. That last round was hilarious
*Maniacal Laughter Intensifies*
You've been practicing your evil laugh, huh?
LOVE decks like this! Do the thing!
The cover photo. 😂😂😂
Love you for playing this!
needs more ashiok
Those Black Vices make me so happy
They should be betas!!
Damn, Boshington! You really sunk that land into their hole real good.
Final match was insane. For the deck, I'd cut the top end and play 4 Bob.
that was THE BEST laugh i've ever experienced in a game of magic
"i hope their on eldrazi and are all in on like one ancient tomb or something" is this man a god?
Thank-you for censoring the thumbnail and not spoiling what you were going to do to the mana 😘
God the first opponent was so lucky with their draws
This league is like the one I ran into 3 stiflenaught decks when that's the silver bullet for what I was running at the time
Algorhythmic contribution and/or Bosh pack meme
EDIT: started watching the league and it's already *chef's kiss*
Wow that last game was an absolute masterpiece
Just beginning the video but already love it
Now THIS is podracing
I wanted you to black vise so bad after that tamiyo ult. Wouldn't have resolved, but I can dream
This is my kind of deck. Sinkhole was my favorite type 1 card back in the day.
edit: PS, dude I laughed the exact same way as you did, at the exact same time 4:35
Your maniacal laugh was awesome
OMG the choice of basics. And I don't just mean "you chose Alpha basics." I mean your choice to use equal parts of all 3 options, rather than all being the same one art. That's how every player I knew did it back in the 90s!! True old school style.
I love how you just won the entire league on R1G1T1.
13:55 sometimes off the cuff is fine!
"I could just wasteland that arid mesa. what are they gonna do, fetch?"
is so funny to me, opp has guns pointed at them from every direction.
Your unlimited joy on doing wacky miserable things to opponents like having 30 cards to destroy lands is infectious.
Game one, turn one: the dream!
sweeeeet win in round 5... love it!!
Master of Destruction smokin the land bois.
4:42 Game started and i have to laugh with you 😂
god I love encroach. good flavor, cool effect.
I literally just took encroach into surgical extraction to scgcon. I though I was the only one who knew it existed 😂 also really been wanting to "desolation" as a disgusting card. Or check out "spreading algae" with an urborg out is fun times. To long letting these 3 or 4 color decks get away playing 5 mana producing lands
Idea to make the deck even more hateful: add Grief Scam to the land destruction
Holy shit, Encroach
Legendary from the get-go
Underworld connection could be cling to dust, since rarely are you able to beseech if you're wasting and stuff. Also with getting mana screwed maybe you want some explore cards
I think opposition agent fits the "old school" theme. its totally the kind of bullshit they would have printed in the 90s.
I'm watching this and after 4:30 and you calling that 1 ancient tomb, I hate to say it but how can this get any better? hahaha so good.
32:20 I know they likely just counter it, but after Tamiyo ult, I was hoping you were gonna draw into vice with underworld connections. oh you caught it in the next game haha
That last match was great. Loved the vid and the commentary!
Bosh pack blastin lands smoke em if you got em
I had no idea there was a duress for a land card. I figured that had never been a thing
Game 1 Turn 1 already made the whole vid for me lmao
Bosh Pack, smoke 'em if you got 'em
This deck is evil 10/10
I have a foil Encroach that I opened in 99 lol
I think this deck could maybe benefit from some mainboard surgical extractions to strip the nonbasic lands out of their deck
The end was worth it
The year is 2024. You queue into a top tier legacy pro. He proceeds to play the most rancid deck imaginable.
Jewel isn’t a real deck confirmed.
I was dying thinking about them getting back the jewels under vise. 😅
Just now getting to watch the video, but as an avid LD player, I don’t know that I’ll ever play an LD deck without Trinishphere
1:01:59 vault of whispers for the beseech package?
I was really hoping to see black vise come down after tamiyo ulted
Black vice vs tamiyo would have been beautiful
now this is good content
opp ult's tamiyo drawing 20, im screaming at my screen "where is black vise when you need it"
Small pox would be fire in this deck
What a heart-breaker! It's almost like Wizards have purposefully made land destruction strategies non-viable because they're miserable for one of the players... But what about us Pox players?! 😢
Round 5, Game 3! Ex-ci-ting!
Entertaining video as always!
Please put the stops after the ads and I'll be your friend forever 👍
If you want to buy out my sponsors for ~5k/month I'll do what you want instead of what they want. DMs are open.

I just released Loam Pox on Friday which I would consider to be the semi comp version of this.
I have to admit, I do love seeing land destruction get pub stomped.
Just wish WOTC had exercised the same wisdom about not making discard a viable strategy that they did with land destruction…
Wish this had cursed scroll in it and/or scroll rack. Haha
No Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and Kormus Bell?
Havent seen more than round 1 so maybe you answer this, but why connections over something like phyrexian arena that doesnt tax your mana?
I love it
Vexing Bauble turns off Beseech into Damnation, right?
Oh GOD YES
