Standard always seems extremely prepared against creature synergy decks like this. With this sort of thing on Ten New Brews, it always seems like you either get outgoldfished by even more linear decks like Convoke or Gruul Prowess or by something unfair like Reanimator, or you get wrathed into the dirt by control decks that are built to deal with those other decks.
I think this deck will always struggle because it isn’t linear enough to be aggro, it’s not strong enough to be combo, and it’s just not controlling any meta aggro decks. Hard to build, I think you need the splintertwin for power level.
I've been playing lifegain quite a bit since Bloomburrow came out, and I eventually cut all the scoured barrens out of the deck. The deck lives and dies on having turn 1 enablers, and a tapped land just kills your momentum I've found.
That first game of match 3 should have been taking 1 off the pain land every turn to give the essence channeler vig and flying, but i guess with all the bounce spells it wouldnt really matter
Cassian running in from the bottom of the screen might have just made my day. So cute!

You are right. Probably because the meta has been consistently dominated by mono red aggro and it's variants.
Yeah these decks are just too fair for standard. They have to have some kind of niche like the gain/drain combo or something

keee-rist cassian is a monster these days! our newborn just turned 4 months, im already terrified of him having that kind of mobility!
Prepare yourself

Cassian doing a wonderful Vana White impression
must build this deck with ZERO tapped land... adding thran portals and payoffs for losing life make a lot of sense

Yeah you're probably right
Love the cameo

I like this shell a lot but I feel like the top end should be replaced with Enduring Vitality and Bloodthirsty Conqueror for a combo finish
The deck you played against first match basically doesn’t exist in paper because of the cost FWIW
How about angel lifegain?
This 10 new brews has been rough. 6 more to go…
!
It's been said, Spell Pierce not being added is a big miss in foundations... Maybe Mana Tithe too. Just fro the lols. They never expect it.
"brew number 4 of 10"???? I think you misspoke! We were getting 20 brews right? ;)
No i am not gaslighting you!
(never enough Jims and cassians)
