That performance against boros was excellent, I would have been the guy holding one bolt thinking I had it all figured out. Now I know I meed two bolts 🤔
I love decks like this.. plan out your big turn and storm off hoping it works out and trying to make the right decisions on the fly. Would love to see more like this.
The only thing I don't like about this deck; it takes the concept of 'math is for blockers' to 'do math in your upkeep, main and main.' You can also swing with any on-board priests for a modicum of damage prior to storming off as well. During a lot of your mental gymnastics you didn't include that in your initial calculations though I'm sure you would've swung out against their fully tapped board.
Sweet. I've been wanting to make this deck work. What happened to using Sprouting Vines and Tolarian Winds to thin out basics from the deck? Are the depletion lands that much better to run? Also, is Night's Whisper better than running Glimpse the Impossible?
@@kalikaiz It's also nice that you get to keep the cards instead of them going away at the end of turn (as nice as it is to have the eldrazi scions to either chump block or sac for mana). Not to mention every art I've seen used for Night's Whisper goes ridiculously hard (love seeing my girl Vraska being intimidating af and the Duskmourn nightmare art is pretty sweet too).
I had an idea for a similar deck but using all creatures. Mainly using soul warden, essence warden, souls attendant. And marauding blight priest/ and epicure of blood. As a combo with it. With this strat you play all creatures and or tokens. As the triggers can stack and make big damage once you have multiple triggers. Ever seen a strat like this? Souls sisters but with the pingers?
Have you tried to make this type of payoff work in the red green storm shell with anarcomancer? Seems like the impulse draws and scry route that deck uses could use morphose for blightpriest as a backup to guttersnipe and it wouldnt cost many slots, and mb weather might be a reasonable insurance against red anyways.
@@saltandpauper I haven't tried it there yet no. I'm not sure that it is better there. I think that version tends to stall out without burning prophet and if I want to play this too it's too many cards. Black has more efficient card draw and grim search digs very very hard
@@kalikaiz this is all true. But I was just observing throughout the games you played alot of the time it wasn't cards you lacked for. It was mana costs of blight priest + weathers that costed too much. So I was wondering if the "familiar" style shell might alleviate that issue. Discounting weather certainly isn't nothing. But it still might not be enough.
just watched the deck tech... just one question, what if mono red just holds its burn and hits your 4 blight priests... have a bad feeling about this one
@@bobsmith-gn7ly it's pretty unlikely for them to have enough in hand to go through you at that point but it can happen. In round 4 this sortof was a possibility Edit: round 3
@@kalikaiz well didn't run into mono red at all so didn't really matter. most anyone had was 1 removal. something like gardens or mono red I think would be pretty tough if they hold back their removal and have a couple ready to go. fun deck though, it did well :)
Always fun to see you storm off, it's a bit of fresh air to the more streamlined decks of the meta
@@gueez thanks I'm glad you liked it!

@@devangoad haha thanks! Got lucky I think. But sometimes the deck can play through lots of stuff!
@@kalikaiz this version seems very well tuned, the mana density seems to work out well a lot of the time
@@devangoad thanks!

@@perpa8031 it's super fun! I have a big series I did on a ruby storm version and I play a lot of poison storm too so check them out as well :)
what a video! GG
@@lindymtg thanks a lot!
wooooow that t3 win was sweet!
Heck yeah!
Excellent short editing haha
@@eric.ingram thanks! I found a sneaky method to make it clean. Only a few takes hah
Fluffing amazing. Definitely making sure Blight-Priest is in my Pauper Cube with the rest of the storm package.
@@eric.ingram now that would be pretty hard to assemble. Cool though! Maybe also put in epicure of blood

@@ValerieEnriquez I think whisper works better with the rituals and you can cast it turn 2. I suppose I should try the vines package again too!

Yes actually! Caleb Gannon has a few videos on this and calls it Abzan Soul Sisters. It can be pretty powerful!

Pauper deck with lotus petal? I'm in
@@Aaron_Dema awesome!
cycle storm would like a word
@@gryffinsyme6357 another good one!
Muito bom eu montei igual só que falta algumas proteções para as criaturas, vou adicionar Tamyo para proteger
That could work, I also like apostle's blessing!
Is this brian cook's list?
@@oblobear2093 no his is a little different. Definitely check that vid out too
Who is Brian Cook?
@@eric.ingram Bryant cook @theepicstorm
I really hate the saying, but you’re the goat pauper player.

Have you tried the red fam?
@@pasquale_arico no I actually tried splashing for electromancer and disregarded it. maybe the fam can be ok
Now we are talking. Please, never play mono red again.
