      Another thing I just spotted, at 47:30 against startstorm, he made all of his creatures indestructible. Creatures having 0 or less toughness is a state based action that puts the creature into the graveyard, bypassing indestructible so his field should’ve been wiped

    • @ZobmieRules
      @ZobmieRules 4 месяца назад

      ​@@Bent0008 Incorrect. Damage accumulates on a creature, but does NOT reduce their toughness. It's just that if there's damage equal to or greater than their toughness, it's lethal damage, and the creature is destroyed as a state-based action. As shown in rule 702.12b, Indestructible prevents this by preventing creatures from being destroyed due to lethal damage.
      Basically, Indestructible stops "destroy" effects AND damage.

      I'm really trying to catch up on so many cards, and even though Standard is the most expensive, I actually find it easier to get into (in MTGA) because of the limited number of cards to know about.

      @laboratorymaniac7324 Год назад

      @@Loki- I think Standard is a good place to start despite its price, since as you said, there are fewer cards you need to learn. Standard is actually going to be getting much simpler next month, since Dominaria United's release will cause the 4 oldest sets in Standard (Zendikar Rising, Kaldheim, Strixhaven, and Forgotten Realms) to cycle out. So it will just be 5 sets of cards instead of the current 8.
      Draft can be simpler in some ways, since you only have to know cards from the set(s) you're drafting, and you don't need to own any cards to play. But the nature of draft is much more complex, because you have to ask and answer important questions before you've even built your deck - what does the set's meta look like, what are the best commons in each color, what bombs should you look out for, what color do you think your neighbors are in based on what they're passing you? It requires quick decision making, good card analysis skills, and a sense of table awareness that constructed does not. Draft has a lower cost barrier of entry than constructed, but the skill barrier is higher.
      I don't have any quick draft tips that would fit in a RUclips comment, but if draft is something you're interested in, there are plenty of resources to help you learn limited, both on RUclips and other MTG corners of the internet. And practice! Go in and try some drafts, and don't worry if you get beat a lot at first. Worst case scenario, you hopefully learned what didn't work, and you still get to keep the cards you drafted.

      I think the timestamp says it all. I've been there before. You're playing at a table and one person got their gears running at max capacity, dodging every attempt to squander their gameplan while completely dominating the rest of the table. By the time you're at turn 10, you're prone to just forget you have a board-state anymore, you're so hyper-fixed on what is happening around you. Especially with her status, where even if she went guns blazing, she might've been able to clean out either Georg or Brian, but the surviving player would just sweep you off the next turn.

    • @camael4209
      @camael4209 Год назад +2

      that was not nearly a power level 10 deck, max 8. Powerllevel 10 means tier 1 CEDH level which is a consistent turn 4/5 win with lots of combo's and tutors. The other decks just either ran poorly because of variance (ChefPK) Rionja deck for example only drew mountains, or the powerlevel was way lower. Merfolk atraxa isn't exactly a 7, more of a 4/ 5 max 6. The dinosaur deck was probably a 6 maybe 7, depending on the kinds and amount of ramp they ran. It was a very fun episode though.
      People tend to think their decks are way higher powerlevel than they actually are, hence the my deck is a 7 meme. Most tuned casual decks are around 5/6

      Well, if you wanna get very technical, the token itself gains that ability upon being summoned, so Hofri's presence after that isn't required to pull this off. Hofri's one of those commanders that you pick to disorient the opponent, as they try to keep track of their board-state and interactions on top of interactions. This is why you run board-wipes.
