Without knowing the players' thought processes, about 10 hours of tournament Magic had been played before this match. :-)

Hi! For us this is very much experimental for now, so we decided on using vintage's banlist for simplicity's sake. We're running it as a side event with a larger annual European Highlander tournament, let's see if there's any traction after. :-)

@@haikku Yeah couldn't hurt to build one. I like some gimmicky builds for instance Pauper Poison Storm. Kind of difficult to adapt to a singleton, but still trying to gather some cards. Thanks for your reply, I will have a look further into it, since I appreciate Pauper a bit more nowadays.

@@klerkusmaximus So I actually play Pauper Highlander fairly regularly, and we tend not to use an enforced points list. I think to encourage more people to play, having an extremely small points list to start is ideal.

Olet oikeassa, pelattiin väärin. :-) Tuo Shadow of the Second Sunin tuoma lisäkama tulee second mainin ja endin väliin, ei ennen tokaa mainia.

Totta! Juuri eilen prelluissa juteltiin paikallisen pelaajan kanssa kortista. Omastakin mielestäni se on tosiaan turhan vaisu yleisesti ottaen. Goblineihin itselläni on hyvin vähän kosketuspintaa, mutta setti kokonaisuudessaan tuntuu juuri kasalta kortteja jotka löytävät tiensä yhteen-kahteen eri pakkaan.

Se saattoi tosiaan olla pientä tunteenpurkausta (ja totta). :-) Noita "hei tää on ku toi vanha pelikelpoinen kortti paitsi vähän erilainen"-lappuja tulee aina silloin tällöin, ja tarkoitus oli ravistella sen suhteen, että se "vähän erilainen" piilottaa sisäänsä nyansseja jotka tekivät alkuperäisestä pelattavan mutta uudesta ei.

Kiitos! Palaute on ollut hyvää, joka itsessään kertoo, että tällaiselle kontsalle on jatkossakin kysyntää.

Kiitos kommentista, vaikken ilmaisutavasta olekaan superfiiliksissäni.

So it seems - oops! Thankfully it doesn't seem to have affected the game all too much.

Kiitos huomiosta, listat laitettu julkisiksi!

Hi! Both lists are always linked in the description for your convenience.

Hi friend! We actually mentioned this briefly in the video - excuse the Finnish. :-) I made the ruling during the game that it does indeed transform. I double-checked, and indeed the rules (CR 701.28) talk about transforming permanents, instead of creatures. Thus much to my chagrin Huntmaster does flip due to the triggered ability (which it does retain). I mostly played the Reconfig on it to not have it immediately flip. Thanks for checking, though, we weren't a 100% sure either!

Warm greets to a fellow Foglio connoisseur. 🫡 As you might've gathered, I go through the steps of how the combo functions, and how to answer it. I've noticed that the hulk combo in particular is something new players might not understand well - it's not the most intuitive thing in the world - and even seen with my own eyes experienced players tilt when comboing off, "uhh how'd this work again". Thought it might be fun to experiment with new types of content!

Thanks! Our current ambition is to make this a weekly release - let's see how well we stick to it!

Hi! All available lists from the tournament are listed here: haikku.fi/2023/09/ylamaa-ii-tulokset/ The High Tide list finished 40th. Thanks for watching!

Hi, please check the link from the description for all decklists from the tournament. This is the final match, so the lists are easy to find. Thanks for watching!

Mistakes happen.

Unfortunately I am not able to have above translated, but I guess your comment mentions what I was thinking as well: How could the BUG player counter by using a counterspell only having BU mana open (4min35sec)?

@@PeCCman This guy is actually a well known cheater in Finland. Just kidding. It's me. I must have been thinking something else and mistook the swamp for an island.

@@OP-oj9od Yes, this can happen to the best of us :-P Therefore each opponent should always watch out carefully. Good luck and props for this HL content, a great fun to watch!

All in all, the winner of the match was likely going to be Samu regardless of who plays better.

That’s always the most rewarding experience/ valuable insight. The thing I enjoy the most when playing rug is that it enables you to adjust your gameplan on the fly, and how you can feel the deck‘s Power when you are able to navigate the many microdecisions. And the deck really punishes inaccuracies, so you are constantly Drilled to become a better player

However, I would personally make a couple of changes to the RUG list to help it run more smoothly

@@PWitz yeah, the list is a bit of a mix between yours and moritz ristl's slower one. Endurance, hullbreacher and dack are probably the first ones to cut

I dont think anyone that has seen the breach deck and understands it is underrating it, I keep saying the deck is probably the best right now to our (this) playgroup. And btw Henri S is the owner of this channel so he's the green player

@@samppa599 Thank you for your response :) Well judging by a lot of facebook posts/conversations it seems like the deck is underrated by a lot of players (at least in Germany. Here in Vienna most people want Breach banned).

Hi friend! Thanks for your comment. We are a bunch of local people getting together to play some fun games of no-stakes Magic. If you're looking for optimal deckbuilding or gameplay, this might not be the place. Instead our goal is to have a good time and show off the format, hopefully bringing more people in. In fact we're quite proud of our relaxed atmosphere and meta and it has already gotten us some new players!

@@haikku Hey! Thanks for taking the time to respond :) My initial post was in no way meant to offend either you, Tuomas or your play group. In fact I quite enjoy watching your videos because of the diverse meta and different archetypes you are showing (the pimped out decks are also a plus ;P ) I am just a bit frustrated that I have been arguing for almost two years now about the powerlevel of Underworld Breach and how I think it should be banned with people denying my claims due to "apparent weaknesses" of the deck while in fact they are mostly derived from, as in this case, relaxed and not optimized gameplay, leading to losses in games that were definitely either very favourable or at least winnable. Highlander is, even when played in a relaxed atmosphere, at its core a very competitive format (in contrast to something like Commander) and edges you have over the competition are usually small. Fully capitalizing on these advantages lead to Breach being the best deck in the format, while not playing optimaly will lead to a balanced win:loss ratio at best. If the community is presented with cases of the later most of the time, it comes as no surprise that the general consensus even among other Council Members leads to a situation were a ban is very unlikely, even though it is, at least from my perspective, very warranted. In regards to this please don't take my comment as offence to anyone involved in the video but rather as comment for people watching to put the result, especially from game 3, into perspective :) I'm looking forward to more content from your channel. All the best!

He would play Oops all spells and always win turn 1.

Kiitos kommentista, kiva kuulla ettei näitä ihan turhaan askarrella!

Mistakes happen.

@@haikku True

There was urborg in play, that's how.
