    Amalia is genuinely one of my favourite cards ever, not only is it pseudo-card draw in Orzhov, it's also a lifegain payoff, a card that pumps itself with said lifegain, AND the girl itself is an absolute princess. Just beautiful all around.

  • @AzazelReborn81
    @AzazelReborn81 6 месяцев назад

    The closing comment is very important to me. I’m happy to see it has a high win rate against stupid monored. To be honest I’m so sick of having to face monored (last week I had 90% of the matches against monored, no matter what deck I’d play), that it got me sick of standard and I turned to Timeless. I hope standard gets many monored vs orzhov lifegain so maybe monored players will stop playing this stupid no-brainer. I know my hopes and expectations are probably too high but… we never know, right? Thanks once again for the great content, CGB. Much appreciated.

    I built this deck a few days ago with a one of Serra Paragon and the new 3 drop that doubles triggers for creatures with power 2 or less. Paragon is obviously just good for if you run into a lot of early removal but also if you have to sac your case it can instantly get it back

    I have a monoblack deck called Farm MonoRed, which has a 100% WR against monored, doesn't matter on the play or on the draw. of course, this deck gets clowned in the ladder, because it loses to most everything else, but it is perfect to farm gems and packs in standard events, which are like 70% monored.
