    Stone Brain and Return the Favor. Also The End and Deadly Cover-Up. There's an opponent who's very sick of Temur Analyst.

      Aye, I've seen a few people just snap off the stone brain naming analyst when I play my temur deck. Then they stare mesmerized at my deck comprised of 36 wincons with many 1-ofs to synergize with Radagast the Brown.

    20:55 - Return the Favor still has to make sure the new targets are legal when those are redirected. The bat can only target an opponent, and you still control it after Return the Favor resolves, so you're completely safe.
    I'm not 100% sure about this one, but the "copy target ability" mode should still fail to exile a card because the exiled card is tied to the bat itself being on the battlefield as a permanent, but the opponent doesn't control the permanent tied to the ability. In theory, they would be simply able to look at your hand. If anyone knows this interaction more in detail, feel free to correct me!
    I LOVE the design of Return the Favor but in short, here it doesn't really do much.

    If you want the nutty version of proft/duelist, try an all-in combo/aggro list with Training Grounds + Hypnotic Grifter + Harrier Strix, it can use stuff like omen hawker/enigma jewel/reality chip. Having a turn where you draw/discard 7 cards, put 7x counters on grifter, put 7x counters on strix, turn duelist into an 8/3

    I'm kind of surprised Shoot the Sheriff hasn't been mixed in or replaced Go for the Throat's slot - I feel like I see artifact creatures way more often than anything that's an outlaw in Standard at the moment.

    • @LegenVD
      @LegenVD  2 месяца назад +17

      I was curious so looked up the 50 most played creatures in Standard, 8 of them were mercenaries whereas only one was an artifact (Yotian Frontliner). Cards that make tokens complicate things a little more, but I'm still on a full set of Go for the Throat before the first Shoot the Sheriff.

    • @noodlesalad
      @noodlesalad 2 месяца назад

      Honestly I haven't mixed it into my decks yet out of laziness and fear that I'm going to fire it off on an outlaw without realizing. Not looking forward to checking every single creature's type.

      @sammysammyson 2 месяца назад +3

      Green gets vigilance...though I will say it's a bit awkward on BG specifically.
      Blue gets vigilance now though..? It's not a color pie break; it's a shift in design philosophy, which happens ALL the time. Blue used to be secondary in direct damage, for example.
      Vigilance as part of blue debuted with Haunting Figment. Some old cards were...ahead of their time.
