"lets draw a monster" *Draws everyones favorite monster simian spirit guide for the trophy win* Tbf thats probably the first trophy someone has gotten by sneaking a simian spirit guide into play
Gyruda reads weird with the new oracle text. Old one says: "each player puts the top four cards of their library into their graveyard. Put a creature card with an even converted mana cost form among those onto the battlefield under your control." Even if the cards get exiled instead of put into the graveyard they are still 'among those' cards. Only if they end up in a non-public zone for some reason there would be issues. New text says: "each player mills four cards. Put a creature card with an even mana value from among the milled cards onto the battlefield under your control." Now it specifies 'milled cards'. But milling is 'a player puts that many cards from the top of their library into their graveyard.' If the card is not put into a graveyard, is it still considered milled? Just like a creature or planeswalker can never activate death triggers with a Rest in Peace on board. Because 'dying' is defined as a creature or planeswalker moving from the battlefield to the graveyard which cannot happen in that instance. I am probably way over thinking this but it is fun to think some of these rules.
This is covered with rule 701.13c: "An effect that refers to a milled card can find that card in the zone it moved to from the library, as long as that zone is a public zone." The cards are still "milled" and Gyruda can see them even if they end up in exile, since exile is public
If you're a Simian Spirit Guide, you have always existed thinking your best possible life is getting jammed under a Chrome Mox. Until this. All monkeys everywhere will hear this tale and aim higher now.
@@Joe__L Theoretically their best life before this was being used to get a Winota trigger following a very difficult start in CEDH, but even that pales in comparison to what we saw here.
35:51 you are half correct. It USED to reveal all the cards and then you cast it, but now it shoves them all into exile instead now wizards have started using exile as a holding place
Given how impressive Vesuvan Drifter seemed, i wonder if there's any merit in playing some copies of an effect specifically to stack your deck for you. Like, now that you can run 4 Sneak Attack, 4 Show and Tell, and 4 Vesuvan Drifters, especially with the aid of Brainstorm and Ponder, finding a way to put the dumb idiots into play seems relatively trivial, so there might be a world where trimming a few copies of the payoff creatures for a few copies of Worldly Tutor is worth it.
I think I'm in love with Drifter in Sneak & Show (I will now call it Grifter because when its out there its totally grifting the opponent). Also, Simian Spirit Guide FTW....Banned in Modern because 2/2 is too much in Legacy.
I'm wondering if UB Reanimator would want it. Generally, they pivot to S&T game 2, en lieu of Wear/Tear or Serenity. But the lists that I'm finding only run 3 S&T sideboard anyway, so I'm not sure they would want copies 5-8.
@@derekcline950 It would have to be a slower build. Maybe in a really combo heavy meta? It pitches to force and can be a low commit clock if one needs to play control.
While I've heard before that you get more views when the title announces that you went 5-0, I've got to admit that it takes a bit of the excitement away because I already know that you're going to win.
Yup. I’ve heard and understand that critique, but ultimately growing the channel benefits everyone who watches more than a spoiled result hurts them. Wish there was a way to do both. I made a whole community post about it if you want to go read it.
I think you could use the 5-0 rank manipulation tactics any time you use a decklist from the MTGO 5-0 dumps. It's a 5-0 list legitimately. Did you 5-0 this specific run? Watch the video to find out. Not dishonest, not spoiling, and itches the "grow the channel" scratch with more frequency.
I wonder if miracles and the drifter could work in the same deck. When mtgo gets the 40k cards, could be worth experimenting with saint katherine. Great looking deck, definitely adding this card to a certain cube
22:48 Almost your whole deck is a good draw there. Another land lets you defend Sneak Attack against Daze, another Show and Tell or Drifter lets you cast those as threats against Daze, another counter helps you protect. The only thing that's not so great is another big creature and that's at at least another threat for Sneak Attack later.
in round 2, wouldnt atraxa looking at the top 10 been the safest line? should basically always hit a land and then you get a guaranteed kill that turn and dodge the possibility of a pump spell topdeck
Archon looks awesome with Drifter. Still not convinced atraxa belongs over Gbrand in sneak and show. Especially a list with Drifter, since atraxa does nothing revealed on the turn it comes in vs Gbrand being a big deal.
As a commander player, I looked at vesuvan drifter and wasn't too impressed. In a format where you are allowed to have 4 brainstorms and run monsters like Emrakul and Griselbrand... well that's another story.
Yeah, SnS is pretty dumb-powerful. Vesuvan Drifter is an awesome juke. I think 1-2 Drifter main and another in the SB messes with your opponents’ game-2/3’s decisions for what they want to fight against. The static scry is the argument to play more copies main.
Archon is a black permanent with a triggered ability that targets. Veil doesn't stop Archon from arriving, but it stops the trigger from killing anything.
It should exile both creatures in that case, since it's a symmetrical effect. You might be thinking if Containment Priest is put in through Show and Tell, in which it won't have any effect since it enters at the same time as the other creature, so it won't exile itself or the other monster.
It would cost me 2 lotus petals just to put it on the stack, where any counterspell answers it. They could also fetch a basic in response and just play through it. Plus I have a sweeper in hand where I'd rather stick the Magus on an empty board.
When you fill Show and Tell
With a new creature spell
THAT'S-A MORE A!!
This comment will go sadly underrated
When they force and then scoop
To your powerful troops
That's amore a
When you drift sneak attack
And your deck is well stacked
That's a more A
When a drifter's in play
And the top is an A
That's a more A
That last sneak was the cherry on top. What an amazing series of matches!
For real, two damage payoff
Want to like but can't be that guy 😂
show em the monkey
“Now we just have to draw a monster”
Simian Spirit Guide: “Am I a joke to you??”
Silly red mana, you aren't a monster you're just there to pay mana costs.
Killing the opponent with a hasty Simian Spirit guide is the highlight of my week.
That was too perfect.
That simian spirit guide finish hahahahahhaha
So good
Was laughing hard
*chefs kiss*
"Okay time to draw a monster"
Simian spirit guide shows up
K guess that works
I love the trophy alert in the title. I always watch them 100% through because I want to see how the sausage was made.
That lack of spoiler season was because the full set was leaked, someone got product early by accident(and wotc sicked the picertons on them)
sneaking in a monke for exactsies to trophy was the absolute best way to end my week, keep up the awesome content Brian
I don't want to spoil anything, but that was a great cherry on top to finish out the last game.
NGL this seems extremely good in a sneak and show shell
Fenruscloud from round 2 exclusively plays infect and has a yt channel with the same name just for future reference
"lets draw a monster"
*Draws everyones favorite monster simian spirit guide for the trophy win*
Tbf thats probably the first trophy someone has gotten by sneaking a simian spirit guide into play
I think we can all agree SSG was the MVP of this league 😎😎😎
Staring at Gyruda companion, talking about them possibly having pyroblast, oblivion ring and touch the spirit realm...
looooooool good catch
@@BoshNRoll It's still good to talk about sequencing and what your opponent could have though, not knocking that
19:40 it's not true almost any creature would have won that game, only emrakul could blokc, their creature gives unblockable.
That final kill with the Spirit Guide was pure gold!
You played against @fenruscloud on infect! That's sick! Im really loving his content on the deck, match was sweet!
Definitely the best possible way to finish the league.
The fact that Archon off of Sneak Attack is 12 damage, Hymn to Tourach, Divination, and a sweeper is so fucked
More like Mind Rot than Hymn
@@poultrylord7300 fair, it does let you choose how fucked you are
It feels very similar to resolving a [Cruel Ultimatum], although the numbers are very slightly different. And that's a 7 mana sorcery!
Brian: puts back Volcanic island on the brainstrom
also brian: "i dont know if i have any fetchables left"
Archon is no joke. It just does so much.
Vesuvan Drifter is such a cool card glad it's found a decent shell
Spirit guide finish is the cherry on top
That sneak attacked monkey for the trophy in the last match is some legendary shit, I was losing it
To be completely honest, I find the moxfield ad read hilarious. Something about the deadpan delivery just gets me.
Gyruda reads weird with the new oracle text. Old one says: "each player puts the top four cards of their library into their graveyard. Put a creature card with an even converted mana cost form among those onto the battlefield under your control."

Now it specifies 'milled cards'. But milling is 'a player puts that many cards from the top of their library into their graveyard.' If the card is not put into a graveyard, is it still considered milled? Just like a creature or planeswalker can never activate death triggers with a Rest in Peace on board. Because 'dying' is defined as a creature or planeswalker moving from the battlefield to the graveyard which cannot happen in that instance.

That Laugh after Forcing that Grisel was Golden jajajajajajajajjajajaja😂😂😂
What a way to end it 🤣
Especially great videos this week!
58:46 I am dead. You killed more than just the opponent here.
"You spoiled the result in the title!"
Some things cannot be spoiled.

We bought a fat pack of the aftermath set, only to get home open it and the boosters legit only had 6 cards in them ...
Fun.... thanks Wizards
35:51 you are half correct. It USED to reveal all the cards and then you cast it, but now it shoves them all into exile instead now wizards have started using exile as a holding place
17:50 Reading is hard. Skrelv does in fact say "can't be blocked by creatures of that color this turn."
Very happy to see a set that actually manages to put many cards into Legacy and Modern. Thanks for the video
I was praying for your final brainstorm in r5 to find ape just for exactcies, then u drew into it and fulfilled my heart's desire.
XD
Love the Wayne Gretzky reference in round 5 lol
Very neat card and very neat deck!

Excellent ending and great matches
Brian always talks mad crap about SnS but always has a good showing with it. Wish he'd suffer through the deck more often, one of my favs!
The absolute best way to win a trophy

Let's go! Knowing it's a trophy is honestly just as exciting, if not moreso
Also knowing that hornstill trophied and is the best standstill deck on the channel amazing to know
Drifter seems like a lot of fun.
Wonder if it will see play in other fatty-monster based decks.
Edit: huh, happened in the league.
I'm wondering if UB Reanimator would want it. Generally, they pivot to S&T game 2, en lieu of Wear/Tear or Serenity. But the lists that I'm finding only run 3 S&T sideboard anyway, so I'm not sure they would want copies 5-8.

@@BoshNRoll You're right, and it doesn't make me stop watching the videos. It's just a bummer that the algorithm works in such way.
@@BoshNRoll Honestly just do it as "5-0?" And throw that on some 4-1 to keep the suspense, imo
What a way to finish the league! Just a glorified shock was all it took
I wonder if opponent 4 was on some Aluren vaiant with D Spinner to force Aluren through and drifter as additional copies of creatures.
That brainstorm on 44:49 was good stuff. I understand the draw this deck has on players, but I wouldn't play it over sharktale or lands.
OMFG SnT SG for lethal sent me bahahahaha amazing!
Omg the spirit guide!!!
I have been wanting to brew a list of this!
What a perfect way to close a trophy league!
I wonder if the deck should run 1 Primeval Titan over the blue Cascade creature and then you can run 1 lotus field that you can grab with it.
The sneak monkey lethal was absolutely insane
Definitely one of my favorite videos so far
God that was fun. well played 😀
I wonder if miracles and the drifter could work in the same deck. When mtgo gets the 40k cards, could be worth experimenting with saint katherine. Great looking deck, definitely adding this card to a certain cube
Playset of Vesuvan Drifter in the shopping cart.
Great video! Do you have a playlist of all your trophy videos?
I don’t. I always use the phrase Trophy and 5-0 if you search those with BoshNRoll though
Spirit guide finish, chef kiss.
Hi HongZhang
you can cast atraxa with 3 lotus petals
22:48 Almost your whole deck is a good draw there. Another land lets you defend Sneak Attack against Daze, another Show and Tell or Drifter lets you cast those as threats against Daze, another counter helps you protect.

As someone whose been playing exclusively Sneak forever, I offer my tagline: It’s like Reanimator, except good! Join us 🙂
As a commander player, I looked at vesuvan drifter and wasn't too impressed. In a format where you are allowed to have 4 brainstorms and run monsters like Emrakul and Griselbrand... well that's another story.
If you would have had any green black or white source you could fetch up, you could have cast Atraxa game one.
Yeah, SnS is pretty dumb-powerful. Vesuvan Drifter is an awesome juke. I think 1-2 Drifter main and another in the SB messes with your opponents’ game-2/3’s decisions for what they want to fight against. The static scry is the argument to play more copies main.
Extremely tasty trophy
Game 1's angry comment "people play this on purpose" XD XD XD XD XD
Death by kird ape. In the year 2023 love to see it
I don’t understand the problem of veil/atraxa. Wouldn’t the archon just make them sac atraxa? Veil doesn’t counter right? Aka, veil is not a problem?
Archon is a black permanent with a triggered ability that targets. Veil doesn't stop Archon from arriving, but it stops the trigger from killing anything.
Drifter seems really sweet, def surprised me.
It was so good, yeah.
1 blightsteel colossus would be nice too.
One of my Patrons has been brewing a dedicated Drifter deck and BSC is sick there.
Hi, HongZhang!
Yeah aftermath got officially revealed all in one day/show because of the heavy leak
Obligatory algorithmic contribution
In game one couldn't you cast atraxa with the lotus petals to mana fix?
I'd need 3 Petals to do that. Atraxa isn't Red.
Tasigur EDH Bros UNITE
Did the infect player throw the game by not playing that berserk to get you to 9 poison and then attack with nexus for the win?
Also shouldn't u have a breach in this deck to help the fail rate
Hi HongZhang!
Is this the first sneak and show deck on the channel without green?
That seems extremely unlikely, but I do enjoy Simic OmniShow more than this style.
@@BoshNRoll 34:33 the duel deck fans are living on scraps
Is Eternal Glory being posted today? I feel like a crack fiend waiting for it to drop
Should be! We recorded on Tuesday, it's in the editor's hands from there.

8:34 why didnt you play atraxa
Simian spirit guide proves he’s better than gridelbrand in last game.
Did the same job with no wasted energy. Work smarter, not harder.
Why not cast atraxa game one
The March of the Machines Aftermath spoiler season was kinda ruined by WotC sending the Pinkertons to a youtuber who got it early by accident
Hello!
Hello!
Hi Hong
Simian spirit for the win LMAO 😂😂😂😂
Does containment priest still work if both players show and tell a creature? I think I remember seeing a weird ruling about that.
It should exile both creatures in that case, since it's a symmetrical effect. You might be thinking if Containment Priest is put in through Show and Tell, in which it won't have any effect since it enters at the same time as the other creature, so it won't exile itself or the other monster.
Neither should be exiled since the priest wasn't on the battlefield before it entered
25:29 why ponder over magus?
It would cost me 2 lotus petals just to put it on the stack, where any counterspell answers it. They could also fetch a basic in response and just play through it. Plus I have a sweeper in hand where I'd rather stick the Magus on an empty board.
@@BoshNRoll ah, ok
Is Drifter the new Arcane Artisan?
No, drifter is good :)
Instead of throwing Spirit guide away for red, though spirit guide at your opponent for 2😂
