    Jeskai convoke still being slept on is crazy. I just won an rcq last weekend with it. Counterspells in this deck is a game changer and sheltered gives us a huge edge against red.

    • @Arstall
      @Arstall  8 часов назад +2

      Yeah the Protect the Negotiators really helps with the sweepers and Sheltered by Ghosts really helps against Aggro.
      Also, congrats on the rcq!

      @@gochillessmith4137 I want four cases in the 75 so I have four cases and two ghosts in the main and two more ghosts in the side. Definitely want atleast six counters in the side zero main.

    I sub to several people who do meta breakdowns and yours are by far the best. The fact that you break down the decks' gameplans and -- especially -- how you go over the rock/paper/scissors metagame, is invaluable. You're the only one who does that, btw.
    Great content, sir 🫡

      Also, I did the grind yo mythic this month with Gruul Prowess (bo3). The Prowess package is S tier in any deck (sigh) but Gruul gives you questing Druid, protection and enchantment hate which makes it more resilient than many other prowess lists imo.
      The trade-off is that it's a bit less consistent. But it's also more interesting to play when grinding 😁

    • @Arstall
      @Arstall  Час назад

      Glad to hear it :) I've really liked Gruul Prowess as well. We'll see if Boros Prowess replaces it in the top bo3 meta because it has the protection and enchantment hate but also let's you play Sheltered by Ghosts. Less good dig though

    When the new standard set comes out, does another set rotate out? New player here.

    • @Arstall
      @Arstall  9 часов назад +2

      No. Rotation usually happens in August or September and is broken up into years. So in the next rotation, in August/September 2025, these will no longer be in standard:
      Dominaria United
      The Brothers' War
      Phyrexia: All Will Be One
      March of the Machine
      March of the Machine: The Aftermath
      And after that, the next rotation will move to January 2027, and future rotations will occur in January instead of August/September, and we'll lose:
      Wilds of Eldraine
      The Lost Caverns of Ixalan
      Murders at Karlov Manor
      Outlaws of Thunder Junction
      The Big Score
      Bloomburrow
      Duskmourn: House of Horror
      Foundations is a new "core" set that will be around until 2029. Hope that helps. I'll always cover how rotation will effect the meta as well

    The meta in bo1 is just toxic lately. All I run into is some form of mono red or control.

    • @Arstall
      @Arstall  10 часов назад +1

      Some say toxic. Others say balanced. Mono-red is weak to Mono-Black. Mono-Black is weak to control. Control is weak to Mono-Red. I'd take that any day over times when the meta wasn't balanced fwiw. We're a far shot from everybody playing a single deck

    • @Arstall
      @Arstall  8 часов назад +1

      I think Boros is this week's flavor of Gruul. White gives you the same access to destroying enchantments but Sheltered by Ghosts is pretty useful against other aggro

    • @thedudeabides7737
      @thedudeabides7737 8 часов назад +1

      @Arstall yeah I'm the resident gruul player at my lgs and I got rolled by boros at last fnm. Sheltered by ghosts is a house of a card.

  • @randomname6010
    @randomname6010 15 часов назад +1

    I can attest as a spike playing mra easy to play hard to master when I play ba it just feels like every game depends on shard mage rescue whayyyy more then sheltered by ghost but sheltered dose tend to get h Dat win

    • @Arstall
      @Arstall  9 часов назад +1

      As a fellow spike, I 100% agree Mono-Red Aggro is difficult to play perfectly. Aggro, in general, gets a lot of flack for being easy because you can just curve out and win. But just like every deck, it can be piloted based off your knowledge of the opponent's deck. As far as Shard Mage's Rescue, I can definitely say it becomes more important the better your opponent is. The cat and mouse games it makes are really fun as well

    I stopped playing Arena cuz for a year (maybe more dunno) red is always the tier 1, aggro and all turn 2 wins, now it looks like Yugi focus players why bothe building a deck if you can not even go pass turn 2 to try it out? Magics been awful lately
