    Hey, Reid! Thanks for posting this! My close friends and I have so much fun playing Singleton decks because of all the variety in games and discovery of hidden synergies. It's why I built a cube, even. Sure, a Dredger will still have their way with you, but in the end these decks are genuinely more fun than stressing to keep up with the crazy optimized decks at an LGS.

  • @pippin5816
    @pippin5816 6 лет назад

    A proper configuration of Snapcaster and Jace is good enough to be the only blue cards in the main board. I thought those were the strongest blue cards in the deck. Great video. I’ve gotten so much better at the game reading and watching your content!

  • @iansinclair2028
    @iansinclair2028 6 лет назад +1

    Reid you did amazing work with Sultai. I loved watching the video. If I may share some feedback, the highlander deck looks like a hybrid between control and midrange in its current incarnation. I would try to move the deck to either midrange or full control to figure out the creature base in particular, since Vendillion Clique and JVP are very control oriented cards. If you decide to go midrange i would suggest putting the counterspells in the sideboard since it does blindside some oppenents game 2 to see countermagic from a previously 0 countermagic deck and counter magic is very matchup oriented.

    I still don't understand why you wouldn't turn one Thoughtseize in Round 3. If they thoughtseize/inquisition you back you just lost a valuable tool to know their hand and remove a threat.

    • @toast_recon
      @toast_recon 6 лет назад

      Because getting tar pit out of the way is massively relevant, and rarely seize on 2 can be better than on 1 because you see 1 more card. It's a bad choice if opponent has aether vial or Inquisition/seize or is stuck on lands with a serum visions, but can be good otherwise.

This was neat but unfortunately if you came for competitive play or real testing then I think this configuration falls flat.
