      In my experience, all good combo decks started doing a completely different (and worse) plan

    • @Duskrequim
      @Duskrequim Год назад +4

      It all comes down to the MDFC card and how it interacts when going exile. If the side 1 was not the artifact this would never work and if the person was not plaing online and see that it flips over they would not have ever realized the combo.

    At the start of your demo combo, the first time you activate Nykthos, you don't tap 2 before tapping Nykthos. Doesn't appear to affect the ultimate going-off of it all.

    A very unintuitive thing about the chain veil, although unecessary in this particular combo, is that activating it multiple times in a turn also gives u additional PW ability activations.

    This feels like a Yugioh Combo.

    • @fakeplaystore7991
      @fakeplaystore7991 Год назад +3

      It's the other way around, actually: the Yugioh combos look like the manliest MTG combos.
      One of the first infinite mana combos I've ever seen was back in Ice Ages, and it used 2 Mana Flare, Fastbond, Hallowed Ground and Glacial Chasm to infinitely recurr a Plains and net 1 white mana every time.

  • @vaxfantomen
    @vaxfantomen Год назад +4

    Ah, you should really include Wakeroot Elemental in the deck. With enough devotion and it goes infinite with nyktos alone.
    I remember Meryn playing a simular deck way back when poineer was annonced and it seems to be worth revisiting!

  • @milltary64vs5
    @milltary64vs5 2 месяца назад

    I have actually recreated this deck in a SIMILAR fashion for historic arena.
    8 mana dorks
    4 old growth
    4 steel leaf
    4 caliver knight elemental
    4 craterhoof
    4 storm the festival
    4 kiora
    20 Forrest
    4 Nyx
    This is the core of the deck; 56 cards. 4 of them, I have flip flopped around trying new things to find a balance of what I like.
    I have tried it with CoCo (collected company), but I found it often removes what I need to win I.E craterhoof, Nyx or Kiora.
    For awhile I ran into mill decks which I was using Gae's blessing which essentially shut off those decks.
    Currently I am using Elven foresight. To speed up the process to what I need to win.
    My version of this deck is way more stompy green beats your face in over combo.

    @undergradlich5401 11 месяцев назад

    This video is a hilarious watch after 4-0ing a Prelim on mtgo with the post aftermath version of the deck. Polukranos Reborn is just some insane redundancy that helps you stabilize against phoenix, Haywire Mite gives the sideboard answers to any enchantment/artifact, Woodcaller Automaton gets you 2 devotion and a Nykthos untap, The Stone Brain negates the need for black mana while also being crazy good against combo decks (including the mirror), and Cityscape Leveler can turn Karns into wins.

    Fun thing about The Chain Veil, if you activate it 10 times, a new planeswalker can activate its ability 10 times due to how The Chain Veil is worded so you could just activate all the planeswalkers in infinite amount of times.

    Which one Will you exile first? Second? Thanks

    Cool to see a combo explanation video again. One tiny little nitpick is that I feel like the music is a bit heavy. Not saying you should just go back to the old music, but it had a nice upbeat tone to it that I think made the videos flow a bit better. Either way keep up the great the work :)

  • @pauldickson3831
    @pauldickson3831 Год назад

    I love this deck because as a lover of pioneer, it is kinda the most pioneer deck ever. In an effort to make a value pile without having too many colours discovers a 3 card combo between a planeswalker meant for artefact decks, a planeswalkee meant for draft, and a literal manefestation of complexity creep. I love this deck, I hate this deck. In exactly the same way, I hate this format, but I LOOVVEEE IT 10000000x more.
    If you do another little deck explaination like this could we hear about the 5 and 4 colour value piles in pioneer and their differences? I play pioneer in paper at my LGS with my trustee esper control and I can never tell the difference between Niv to Light, omanth bullshit and hiddenstrings.

    Ahh, so this is the Pioneer version of the infamous "Teferi Veil" combo in Commander! (Which btw is THE most complicated combo in Commander on a competitive level, i.e. in cEDH) Although this one is not the first of its kind, it's still extremely impressive if it's legitly discovered by accident! 👍
    Also 1:06 that's Billy Herrington/"Aniki" from the Gachimuchi memes. I say it's not that you're "too old or too lame". It's just that this series of memes hasn't been that popular in the West, except for circles that are into Japanese culture.
