These "Demilich bad" people are either trolling for the response or smooth brained. Deck looks amazing, explosive lines paired with a remarkably grindy control plan. Love it!
In most challenge events, spike plays with a handhider to prevent ghosting, which usually makes a much worse viewing experience for the proper audience either here on yt or on twitch
@Phyrexi4n yeah I saw that one and it is exactly what I said lol it's a prowess deck with 4 looting and 4 Phoenix. Phoenix is bad without looting and the only value from looting is Phoenix (and I guess lava dart if you count that) I'm not saying it's bad but I definitely wouldn't call it a Phoenix deck, which spikes deck certainly is. It's still a prowess deck at it's core
Agree Demilich > Phoenix, it got printed 2 years later ofc it stronger but they still best friends and now with Tamiyo quite the 3 musketeers. The could me more broken bit was great, if only more cards were designed like Demilich, be like Demlich. Merry Xmas Spike
I know Gut Shot seems like an auto include in this style of deck but I honestly don't think you need it, it seems you're able to get demilich and Phoenix out pretty easily without having to even use gutshot
Well, in a deck that likes drawing a lot our worst adversary is Orcish Bowmasters - and being able to answer that for basicly "free" seems nice. Also the "once a blue moon"- where you go looting turn one, discard 2 pheonix + play 2x gut shot move to combat "cacaw" is one hell of a drug :p
I never liked Tamiyo in this deck. In my analysis it is preferable to play the 12 cantrips and apart from the 4 Demi and the 4 Phoenixes a couple of secondary threats. They can be Aria of Flame from the sideboard.
The funniest argument against dimi lich presented by chat is that it’s not good in non modern formats. Like? This is a modern deck? We are playing the modern format?
Merry Grixis!
I, too miss viable Grixis but let’s not fool ourselves over a Phoenix deck with Cranial Extractions in the sideboard. Also Merry Grixis.

Why does it say ,"Please don't ghost me. Thank you, Love you" at the bottom of the screen?
Ghosting is when your opponent opens up your stream to see your hand. Basically “please dont look at my hand opponent”

Spike why aren't we playing Confusion in the Ranks instead of Demilich?
Merry Christmas Spike!
Aria of Flame does have my interest 😂😂😂
i wanna see a monored phoenix list
No you don't haha
Only decent ones I've seen are basically just prowess decks with looting and Phoenix, not really dedicated Phoenix decks
@@scotbush4338 rakdos is OK with nethergoyf
There is a video from dack fayden 07 that went 5-0 with a mono red phoenix list. Looked very impressive

I ported this to legacy a while ago and it was gas. Lich is legit.
Merry Christmas spike’s comment section! 🎄

I know the comments cry hard when a wild wide spike appears but if it keeps the league clean, you do you man. Also Merry Christmas.
Merry Xmas
When we are going to see the paradox engine deck with mox opal and karn?
its crazy how boring phoenix decks are in pioneer, but how awesome it is in modern
But Spike, don't you think Dreadhorde Arcanist is better than Demilich?
try sorcerer class before aria of flame perhaps
fiery inscription
I'd love a bloodborne playthrough
Sneaky snacker > Tamiyo
Blue is nnf

Or even some TiTi. Thanks for the video too, I love this archetype.
Lol imagine thinking you know more than Spike about "analysis". He's talked about why we play Tamiyo over TiTi and other contrips.
meh aria of flame is worse version of fiery inscription in any deck running any amount of burn and hasty creatures with lots of spells, so phoenix....

faithless Phoenix sounds like a card that should be based around like a Phoenix rising from and burning a church into ash
So the whole B&R thing was to rewind the format? Yawn.
side without anysense surgical and ovar plus 4 fon and Is not even a vary bad mu that why u are bad
