Well, it was the 4C LoveCrayons list that I noticed that made me want to give this a try. Basking Rootwalla seemed a bit too ambitious but the Snackers looked reasonable.
I having been playing around with a Boros Bully version that leans harder into the gates gameplan. While I like Battle screech + Rally as a go-wide plan, I think is fundamentally in tension with the gates idea of recursive and hard-to-kill creatures. I think that these are fundamentally two different decks, and each would be stronger by leaning into their best qualities (either go-wide aggro, or something closer to Caw-Gates but in BW, a midrange gates list). I am running 10-12 discard-draw spells, alongside Sqaudron Hawk and 2 Guardian of the Guildpacts. It feels pretty sweet, would recommend exploring
Yes, that is something that can be done. I could even do it after the lifegain trigger as I would still need to pass priority to combat damage, it just didn't stop there as I had passed through the turn. I just couldn't do it at that timestamp as I didn't have the mana available.
I thought someone else might reply to this, but I couldn't find a list anywhere. I play a decent amount of turns against the deck so you could probably figure out like 70% of what the decklist would be from the video.
@alessandroalessandro3891 You get free value off it by being able to discard it to the Looting effects and it also works great with the Basilisk Gate package.
I mean probably. As usual I just find a list tweak it a little and give it a spin. The drawing 3 cards deep was nice but sometimes it was hard to get to 2 cards I was happy to discard. Also losing the dream of discarding 2 Snacker to Thrill is a little sad, even though it will probably never happen.
@@Kirblinxy I would also second Highway Robbery, as well as Cathartic Reunion over Discovery, as Reunion can be cast turn two with a Basilisk Gate in play, and this deck is already quite hungry for specific mana pips. In my experience the 2 life is less impactful in this build.
@oskarprimbs2713 I know blue isn't around much these days, but if you have ever had a Cathartic Reunion countered you know you never want that to happen again. The fact that you can just throw a Discovery out there to see if it gets countered is pretty handy.
Nice list. I have a very similar build but I haven't gotten around to playing/recording with it yet. Great minds think alike!

Seeing a kirblinxy 5:0 on mtggoldfish always fills me with anticipation for a video!
Considering I don't play too many leagues these days, you can probably guarantee that if my name does pop up there then I have probably recorded it :)
Omg I just saw this deck do good on mtgoldfish and I was like I wish someone recorded it and you came through! Thanks ❤
You're welcome. It's a very interesting deck to be sure. Hope you enjoyed the video!
Sneaky snacker is a snack you can add to almost anything and make it better
Next up, G Stompy feat Snacker.
if you add it to any deck, you would have a nice AB-BA rhyme scheme!

I have been fiending for boros bully!
It would be possible to bolt the rabbit in response to the lifegain trigger in order to avoid chumpblocking right (situation similar to 50:26)?

Yay
I’ve been messing with a similar list in paper, but incorporating Stinkweed Imp too
I’d be interested to see the list and hear about it!
Mardu Dredge was not something I had on my bingo card.
Can someone find the Orzhov SoulFood list?! many hnks

Hi, why use sscred cat?

Highway robbery is a much better top deck than discovery. Otherwise nice list 👍
I also think highway is better than discovery, discarding two cards seems too much to me and regarding lifegain is already covered in the list

@@Kirblinxy I think discovery is a hold over from the list with rootwallas.

Nobody cares about this deck. Let it die.
:(
Nah. I care
I care
I also care
