    Be carefull about misreading Ashiok everyone. The static ability of Ashiok specificly cares about you "paying" life. So a trigger or effect that makes you "lose" life like The One Ring doesn't get replaced with exiling cards from your deck.

    • @andrewtedor8606
      @andrewtedor8606 Год назад +11

      I don’t understand why this is so hard for some people to realize. The fact that losing life ≠ paying life is very simple and straightforward, at least in my mind it is. Maybe I’m just too much of a rules expert lol

      I mean it's more like people don't really register the card since it's new, and some of us are more of a visual kinda player, who needs to see how the card work to understand

      @@vietquang8739 It’s a trading card game. There’s nothing to see. It’s cardboard. Everything that’s understood about the game is done by reading and understanding the words on a card and reading and understanding the rules. All of that is mental. One of the most famous lines in Magic is “Reading the card explains the card.”

      It's funny he got no lands in the game at 37:00
      so I rewound it to the deck reveal and this guy still does not run over 40 lands
      with that curve and not running enough ramp in this format.
      This deck is pray for lands until you play ashiok once and lose when she dies
      you might as well just turbo her out every turn.
      you should run 43-45 lands in almost all decks
      and like 10 ramp cards
      when every opponent is ragavan, atraxa, etali, and emoti
      who all ramp to oblivion until they drop
      an ultimatum level threat on turn 4 or 5
      you need to run more removal and discard strategies or
      more ramp and bigger spells
      if necro is the strategy then run every tutor
      and stop d*cking around
      I'm sowwy i had to tell you how to pway the game
      I still love you though cgb

    NO CGB you arent stupid, this was very educational on how to play the new Ashiok and also what to look out for. Pay and lose are very different. On the flip side the lose life effect draw cards alot of them are meta. But i would personally remove the lIlis contract...there is more than enough card advantage and it does not benefit the Ashiok

  • @rubencp93
    @rubencp93 Год назад +8

    Not sure if this helps or not, but when you "lose x life", it's a consequence of an action; when you "pay x life", it's a cost associated to an action.
    For example, if you "pay 1 life" to exile a card with Necropotence, you're paying the cost (the 1 life) to exile the card; if you lose x life with The One Ring (for example), it's a consequence of the ring having x counters.

  • @cardshark38
    @cardshark38 Год назад +18

    If it said “lose life” instead of “pay life” then your opponent would either have to remove ashiok to be able to kill you normally, or have to deal enough damage to deck you out entirely i.e. like 75-85 damage to exile your entire deck so you die on your draw. Would be nightmarishly busted if that were the case.

    Defiler of Flesh from All Will Be One would be a great addition to this deck. Let's you "pay 2" instead of a black mana for permanent black cards.
    Also don't forget Ashiok counts all the exiled cards that white loves to lock up. At least if you own them.

  • @zealiskander
    @zealiskander Год назад +1

    Me: reads the card
    The card: gets explained.
    It’d be a bit strong if it prevented life loss - direct damage from creatures is life loss after all, or being bolted to the face. It just replaces instances where you’d pay life (in general, it’s something you do first to activate an effect) by exiles instead.
    Btw, the play in the last game was to keep plussing your Ashiok and ult it eventually imo.

  • @Rihitu-ji7pi
    @Rihitu-ji7pi Год назад +2

    Love CGB realizing how his cards worked in the very last game lmao. “Can’t wait to read the comments” (53:25) was too real. My favorite moment was when he played Liliana’s Contract with Ashiok out, lost 4 life, and didn’t even notice (17:46). 🤣 Still, the deck dominating like it did even when built subomtimally shows both Ashiok’s power and CGB’s skill.

    This is why I hate historic brawl and historic in general. It’s the definition of feels bad when watching the opponent pop off in an uncounterable combo that means slow death. I mean, it’s why no one stays… why waste 10 minutes when you know you’ve already lost?
