did I miss something? Did that Counterbalance counter anything at all? Seemed to always miss... not that it needs to actually hit to have an impact, of course... Also, sweet Obeka win there! Great content as always!
Yes, it only countered one spell, which Baal actually Vampiric Tutor'ed, but the fact of being in play actually prevented several spells from actually being cast, and saved the game from ending turn 2 when David wanted to Animate Dead Sire of Insanity.
Animate dead had such a weird rules interaction here. Both when it got trickbind and when the graveyard got removed. My playgroup wouldve messed up at least one of those things.
It's a "original" list It's a pretty straight forward combo deck, with all the available tutors, the combo pieces and some and pieces of value and interaction to deal with other archetypes. Probably the most exotic things here are the nightshade pedler interaction and the scales + echos infinite combo. Probably there are very alike lists yes, but this one was based in the Marath potential 🙂
Ok so I have a hard time understanding how people win sometimes. Did he just win by milling 2 cards from each deck infinite times then passing the turn or what?
I think he just took infinite turns and killed everyone by just attacking with obeka. he also might've gone for milling everyone out by using Winds but I'm not sure he could've casted it enough times to mill the table out since you gotta exile 3 cards every time you do (I know you also mill two yourself with each iteration but it just doesn't seems like enough) he could've also gone for good ol freeze led breach combo I guess.
@@cristianprado8559 Ohh I see. He was using the artifact to end the turns now instead of his commander, leaving the commander open to attack once for each of infinite turns. Thanks!
@@thomasnoonan2039 Yes exactly that. That was the easiest and fastest way to demonstrate a deterministic win, but he could even cast some other creatures and have obeka end the turn, but that would take long. The deck does run Timetwister to prevent decking out as you go infinite turns, and Narset prevents opponents from drawing interaction, but in this case it wasn't necessary and Narset was actually exiled.
THE TRICKBIND!
With Animate Dead is one of the coolest interaction in the game HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Uhh and the Endurance ending it! So cool!
So happy to see Marath! What an awesome deck!
Loving this pod, great content, greetings from México!
Spicy W 🌶🌶🌶

Poor Leite, he's just getting bullied :(

Countered one spell at 9:24. Sad life of counterbalance.

If only he had [Soothsaying] just "saying" 🥁ba 🥁dun tssk

It may be 9:30 PM my time, but it’s never too late for a new SplitSecond video
The RUclips comments whispering in baal's ears is spicy lol
Haven't watched yet... But that Marath deck wouldn't happen to be based off Patrick's cEDH deck would it? :D

At 12:23 he can't crack a verdant catacombs while at 1 life xD
He was at 2 life, when he cast FOW he only lost 1 life not 2, the life tracker is wrong
Yes it was a mistake at 10:54 where 2 life was actually deducted from his FoW cast, and it should have been only 1 😅
Thanks for clearing that up!
Also, you can pay 1 life if you have 1 life.
Super early in this game, the phantasmal copying the magistrate means no one could cast their commander. This whole game is so off.
The Ph.Image enters as a copy of the Ascendant. The player thought about copying the Drannith, but he copied the Ascendant instead.
