Also, giving Pierre +1/+1 counters and proliferating them buffs him up as much as increasing the variety of counters on the board, and is easier overall. I'm surprised that the precon itself is providing proliferate cards to essentially sidestep Pierre's unique gimmick.
I remember Disclaimer Guy, the silly subtitles under their names to begin every video, and the tidbits about their lives. I miss all of those things but still really love the Nerds, what they're doing, and how awesome they are.
I got this deck just last week on sale, seemed fun with a bunch of counters. Was a bit disappointed of it out of the pack, so gonna mod it. Yours is the ONLY video I came across that not only talks about what should go into the deck, but what should be CUT as well. Thank you for that. Adding is easy, cutting is hard.
I actually broke the precon down into two different decks. Perrie likes to smash with lots of different counters but Kros want to put more and more counters on your opponents' creatures which is where the proliferate from the deck comes into play. Constantly give that creature a random counter over and over again, tap them down, and then goad.
Thank you for this video!! TBH I was excited to finally see a legend that cares about different kinds of counters; looked at the precon list and saw so many terrible includes (and so few good cards) I just decided it’s better to build from scratch.
Will tid bits come back to some degree? Sorry if y'all addressed this already, but i always enjoyed a brief moment to hear about what either or both of you were up to (:
I like the new Elspeth for this deck as well. Elspeth can give Flying, First Strike, Vigilance, and +1/+1 from her plus ability, and her small minus gives shields. This pairs well with the Vivien you mentioned, who gives Trample, Reach, and Vigilance so you're not duplicating too many abilities.
I love the name on some of these characters: Perrie the pulverizer and Mr.Orfeo the boulder come readily to mind. I pulled a fancy Falco in my prerelease so I have been tinkering with them. Perrie and Falco both care about counters so I'd suggest checking out Ikoria for Luminous Blinkmoth, Slippery Bogbonder, Wingspan Mentor, Avenging Huntbonder, Keensight Mentor, Hornbash Mentor :P
Do we really want Quicksilver Fountain in this deck? I don't think I want all my lands to slowly turn into islands and neither does anyone else. Also duplicating flood counters. Could they have wanted Pyramid of the Pantheon instead, a "better" brick counter card?
Great observation about the combat damage triggers on cards. It happens so slowly, and only per turn cycle (barring extra combats), they just end up being terrible. It's almost like a suspend 1 card. The format is just too fast now for just about ANY "once per turn cycle" cards/effects to be that strong. Even Annihilator, for example, doesn't feel as strong as it used to be.
I didn't see "The Ozolith". Unless I'm blind/deaf. Isn't that literally the first auto include? Because it was mine. Also my name is Perry and this is the first pre-con deck I've ever purchased because name. It's also not my birthday... Yet.
I'm looking forward to the new capenna stuff being over, I'm getting burnt out of all the videos focused on it. I love your content but in the future id love if there were still maybe 2 long videos a week that arent focused on the new set
To people trying to build the deck: don’t remove Park Heights Maverick, this card is one of the best. Even when you care about different kind of counters.
I got 15 mins into the video just to realize this deck must just suck and idk if they don’t wanna say it but I should probably just play something else. But politely we could say it’s a niche deck maybe. Idk I just bought a random deck to try to play with my friends but I’m completely lost on what to play.
IIRC I’m pretty sure Joe hates that card but I might be misremembering edited to add no that’s definitely the card. He’d never play that because he doesn’t consider a draw a win.
I think proliferate works better than you think it does... adding additional shield counters on Perry boosts its protection significantly.

Only the real OG’s remember Disclaimer Guy. Too bad he got canceled on Twitter for saying that he liked Grave Titan.
RIP disclaimer guy 🤌
I miss disclaimer guy too 😂

Musk will personally ask him to come back. He's fixing all that he can.
@@TLoesch777 big agree on that statement
Disclaimer Guy is still in Poland. Just saw him today. He says "Disclaimer Guy here - I'm not actually in Poland."

Disclaimer Guy… gone but not forgotten
I love this pre-con deck, I love Bant, and I’m glad I got to witness your upgrade.
Been waiting to see the upgrades for this deck! Can't wait
What's the better brick counter 😆
My guess would be Pyramid of the Pantheon
@@grampaw5605 Honestly Id say Sunset Pyramid, but I was wondering if they picked Pyramid.
RZA wants you to diversify your bonds
The real surprise ad will be one of these times they just do it right after saying that lol

The 30th card that is removed that does not seem to be mentioned in the video is Kros, Defense Contractor
I like lilting refrain for Perrie, it's a counterspell that you put on the board early or late and it just gains verse counters
Top ten non 1 for 1 removal spells? I know soul shatter and crackling doom but what else is playable.

As your broker, I believe it's time to diversify your portfolio for maximum efficiency.
That’s a Good one!😂❤️
I love these precon upgrade vids, thanks!
It’s my birthday today! Thank you for the amazing video!
I want a nightmare commander. The horse type of nightmare.
Jenera is such a fun counters commander always have a big angel to equip or move counters onto and such good colors
the one and only : SUS counter

Perrie the Pulverizer???
I thought we might want to blink Perrie to protect him and for more Shield counters
Anyone play this deck yet?
Didn’t see any ramp added and that worries me as far as speed goes.
Can you do Magda?
NEW NITPICKING NERDS VIDEO!!
Same here. I’m excited about this one
Intrepid adversary is definitely a cool addition!!!
Click on Moxfield: Put an organized counter on target Planeswalker
Maybe I've just been brainwashed by you guys and Mia but it's crazy how Moxfield is really as good as you say it is

Why is this video in the playlist called "Nitpicking Nerds SHORTS"? Must be by mistake, right?
fixed

Ohhhh.... "Budget" upgrade 😅😅
Define budget.
Reading the title of the video or the thumbnail of the video explains the video.

You guys have terrible opinions on the cuts.
Why completely unplayable I'd love to put Myojins in this deck.

Only a few people know who Disclaimer Guy is, but even fewer know about Young Kenrith or the God of Mana Curve! #original10ksubscriber #videoshoutout
Lol I don't think Joe knows what the word forshadowing means x be a warning or indication of (a future event). so it can mean a fact
Good foreshadowing is a hint, a clue, a fact is just "poor foreshadowing" lol
I miss disclaimer guy

Bean people ??? Hmmmmm
First!
What is WOTC doing? A lot of the blue in both the precons and SNC are unusually bad. Maybe WOTC needs to look at hiring. I’ll forward them my resume.
Wow no Divine Intervention? 🥹

Neither do I by the way. I don’t get wanting to draw the game at all.
@@starmanda88 yeah i was joking. Also that card is from Legends not close to the $50 limit.
