Same. After not playing the game for a long while, it takes me back to the Jayemdae days, except it's much better now. One of my favorite cards from Foundations.

[@Eleiem]

29:00 always funny seeing people not knowing how their cards work. Slasher cares for all counters types. Giving it one with the map now makes it that it doesn't return from graveyard if killed lol

[@Shmeeku]

I'd bet they knew adding the +1/+1 counter would mess with the return from the graveyard ability, but didn't care - most of the removal they had seen exiled anyway, and adding 1 toughness put the Slasher out of range of Elspeth's Smite or a double-block from the 2/1 and 1/1 on board at the time.

A deck is only as good as the shuffler allows it to be

[@yavivanov6650]

True

[@profozpin227]

Ah yes, the evil shuffler. It's not like people have done analysis on it before and come to mostly inconclusive results or something...

[@TheKillerman3333]

@@profozpin227 fun fact, they did do an analysis and found that the shuffler was broken to the point that there was a tournament that took complete advantage of the quirks of the shuffler. This led to, as some reported, aggro decks using minimal lands in tournaments to guarantee that they could win games because of how mana distribution worked The reason that people think the shuffler is rigged is becuase statistically you should never be getting a specific and set number of lands in your opening hand across thousands of games every single game. assuming you played 20 lands in a 60 card deck, you should not be seeing 2 mana in your opening hand every single game. This means that the shuffler isnt actually shuffling your deck but is rigged to ensure you have a set number of mana in your hand based on the adverage amount of mana in your deck to card ratio. rarily will you see the shuffler operate differently in arena.

[@tobias97erdt]

​@@TheKillerman3333 how about you inform yourself about the hand smoother for bo1 it will explain why things happen and no it's not because of the shuffler

[@TheKillerman3333]

@@tobias97erdt you just explained how the shuffler is rigged. The hand smoother in bo1 is a type of shuffle rigging. It is how aggro decks with low mana bases and low costs are able to keep up with decks with higher mana curves. It is not okay at all. and players have found ways to utilize it to get an edge on other players.

[@pmangano]

Instead of carrot cake i use sunder the gateway, same cost, its an enchantment removal so great for those sheltered by ghosts, demonic room and caretaker mirror matches and at the same time cycles itself with talent, it can also be played for a fully formed 2/2 token or to transform a much bigger sunfall token while also drawing. Lots of value in a single card.

[@Basoosh]

I've played Sunder as well. It's not without a lot of drawbacks, though. No 3 life, no second body, no second trigger, no scrys, and doesn't work with Enduring Innocence. If you're on Mazemind Tome, I think cake is not needed and Sunder can come in. If you're not, Cake is probably needed for the filtering and juice for the engine.

[@pmangano]

@Basoosh sure, but It won me way more games than cake would just for the fact it kills multiple cases, talents, urabrasks, etc. Its a 4 of card that denies win conditions while at the same time contributing to my own. I dont really need the life and the scry.

I like how the meta is very creature heavy so you can play control by piling up sweepers, wondering if blue will get a chance again soon, maybe only if they stop printing creatures that have giant blocks of text.

[@imaginarymatter]

I'm glad that CGB is glad that Maze Mind tome is back in Standard.

[@joeldykman7591]

That last monoblack opponent spent way too many resources protecting Lilliana when its entire effects are currently mitigated by token swarm and card draw that gets around its speed. The best thing Lilliana could've done in that boardstate was eat damage.

ive been running a super customized version of mono white control but i might just go back to simpler times and try this deck out as well, i still feel like i cant live without Destroy Evil and ghost vacuum tho.... vacuum helps so much against revival decks and gives us extra creatures late game! still, your deck definitely helps a lot against aggro XD nice stuff!

[@dannylongfellow]

But CGB, how can this be a no life deck when you gain so much life each turn?

wouldn't be skrelv's hive a good addition? or do you want to avoid the life loss, in exchange for the talent / innocence card drawer? :) I play it like that and it is a bit of a gamble, but also fits the theme

[@TwintailNami]

I've been playing this awful deck for a while and didn't think about Skrelv's hive, it might work, but I think the carrot cake is superior because of the blocking capability and the life gain. It could be a thing to test and consider, I might do it.
