Card that sees ZERO PLAY is actually INSANE? | Standard Ranked MTG Arena

[@AaronGertler]

Thanks for playing my deck! (This is littlebeep) Very unrefined list, still, but I'm hoping to figure out whether Insight and Pact really are good if enough people play it. (More sure about Pact than Insight.)

[@b.water.my.friend]

Missed lethal with pact damage plus reef lol 11:50. Awesome vid!

[@uucue]

Totally worth a second watch. I saw this in the KZbin vod channel. Great deck and games, totally!

[@Ashlizzlle]

💜 thanks for supporting the vod channel

[@railander]

Great idea to use Demonic Pact in this build. Very fun deck.

[@Perniciles]

Based taste in movies, got some great recommendations out of this. (deck was cool too)

[@suNn.K.O]

Ain't no way you can pay me to watch another bloody movie with Nicholas Hoult and Lily-Rose in it lmao. Okay, maybe a million. Eggers is the same anyways and there's already great Nosferatus out there. Mainstream Fargeat also feels a bit off. Ah well lol. What was I supposed to be saying? Oh, yeah. Neat take on Pact.

[@ScoffMathews]

No RIP MY unique deck, at least it’s an unrefined list

[@Ashlizzlle]

🤣🤣🤣

[@thomassoutherland3971]

I did see someone post a similar list on Reddit like a week ago lol

[@zephax3629]

So impressive how diverse the pixie core deck is. Like, you dropped in short time some different versions of this type. Lately have a good streak with Pixie V2, didn't get flooded. Thank you for your work 🫶💅

[@jaashlock18]

It's literally the coolest shell ever. Like not only is it so fun to play it's got so many variants that each feel strong in their own way and don't feel like they necessarily supplant each other. I played someone on MTGO who was doing really cool stuff with bouncing temp lockdown and looping the etbs on tithing blade, nowhere to run, and hopeless nightmare.

[@jojodelacroix]

Seems like maybe a couple 3 drops or something could make Lunar Insight pop off a bit more? I'm not saying you have to go crazy, but the deck is built to where you will very often draw 3 but almost never draw 4. Even something like Kaito, Bane of Nightmares could be pretty good in a deck like this. I like the idea here, but it feels like it could be optimized a bit more.

[@chuckwagon3718]

I was thinking the same. There's gotta be a couple good three-drops that synergize well with the rest of the deck, right? Something like Preacher or Steamcore Scholar, for example?

[@davidhower7095]

Kaito’s a 4 drop, though?

[@Ashlizzlle]

I can see that for sure

[@AaronGertler]

@@Ashlizzlle Invasion of Amonkhet is another option for a cost you don't have in the deck yet.

[@railander]

I play the Chrome Shark in this build and it's working very well. You can create a 5/5 for 2 mana with This Town.

[@HollowdTV]

My miiryn sentinel wyrm EDH deck runs Lunar Insight, on average it draws between 4 and 6 cards for 2U. So good. The only downside is it won’t draw you back into a game if you get sunfall’d or whatever, but when it works, boyyyy does it draw some cards.

[@Marbles755]

Saw someone with pact the other day with pixies and I just about lost my mind on how good it is

[@charlesdexterward6831]

Hey Ash, thx for the great deck and the cool tech in particular🎉 i just adjusted my skelenchantmentdeck with it and got rid of entity tracker for good. Just drew 4 cards 4th round with lunar, could be really strong potentially Guess whats synergizing well with lunar too? The 2 skeletonenchantments! Having a blast. Would be pretty interesting to see your version of it❤

[@MrZestubo]

Ah, saw this a few times today. Been enjoying Obstinate Baloth in the sideboard, haha.

[@thechocobros2568]

❤ i run a dimir pixie pact deck similar to this. I run filter out to bounce all the pacts and the black pixie permanent package for lots of value.

[@xencannotspell]

YESSSS I SAW LUNAR INSIGHT AND I WAS LIKE WAHHH?!?

[@guilhermeruzene791]

Sonio's been preaching lunar insight since the spoiler lol. I'm really excited about the dimir versions of "pixie", but I'm starting to think we'll get a ban on This Town. What do you think?

[@jmoney9494]

Zero percent chance it gets banned

[@SpeakerWiggin49]

This Town seems very fair. It's just two cards in the form of one at a decent rate, and for standard the power level isn't out of this world.

[@guilhermeruzene791]

@@SpeakerWiggin49 remember divide by zero? Got banned while doing tempo + resource advantage, same thing with This Town. And again, it's not about raw power of the card, but meta prevalence

[@Av3rag3Cadav3r]

Gotta check out that Osseous Sticktwister, i see nobody playing it but it is a powerhouse, along with Rottenmouth Viper and CruelClaws Heist

[@styyber]

When do we get an Ashlizzlle Elden Ring stream?

[@richardthomas9529]

This is super sick and refreshing? Who doesn’t love value?

[@STS-qi1qy]

I think Alchemy survives on the back of Brawl. Most people using wildcards on Alchemy cards are almost certainly using them there.

[@robmccarty755]

Came for the magic, stayed for the FILF

[@seilaoquemvc2]

I'd play Coveted Falcon in this list.... a ton of "useless" permanents to give away and a chance to insta kill with Demonic Pact when stars allign.

[@warsama6247]

Hey, nice video.

[@curtiss9038]

Ash always bringing the spice 😊

[@ОбуховАлександр-и6у]

Wake up babe, new standart deck just dropped 🎉

[@comedyman4896]

41:18 I'm not sure if this would actually work, technically Nowhere to Run removes hexproof, but Knight of Grace has 'hexproof from black', which is a separate ability to 'hexproof'. Could be wrong though.

[@aaronhooper4803]

It doesn't remove hexproof, it's worded in a way that works. You can see the ruling on Knight of Grace's rulings page. "If an effect says that a creature loses hexproof or can be targeted as though it didn't have hexproof, this applies to hexproof from black as well. (2018-04-27)"

[@OsvaldoChannel1]

[@melkios]

you should try also to put temporary lockdown in esper bounce deck

[@Ashlizzlle]

i love that strategy!

[@simpforsable]

yo Ash do you have a public letterboxd profile which can be followed? All this movie talk made it seem like you'd be a good source for movie recommendations :)

[@Kasaaz]

There are a bunch of cards that are pretty nuts but just don't see much play at the moment. Taii Wakeen and Spinner of Souls are both crazy whenever I try playing with them. Standard is just too big these days.

[@erikandersson9060]

So strange that Leyline isn't banned in BO3

[@TheAcad3mic]

Not really when you consider that the presence of RDW piles in BO3 is waaaay less oppressive than it is in BO1.

[@connectingthepieces4845]

I lost to demonic pact that was gifted to me. Felt bad lol

[@Jawzah]

3 mana draw 3? I can see how that could be powerful.. Audience With Trostani can also do that but perhaps with not that easy setup (You want top lay it after Killer Among Us.).. - But it does put a blocker onto the table also. But of course its hard to beat the beanstalk for card advantage cards - especially with the overlords - this town is Not big enough etc.. Unholy Annex is pretty rad good also (Why not in this deck - can be a 3 mana permanent). Perhaps that's why people are "sleeping on" some perfectly breakable card advantage cards..

[@daverobinson8117]

I found someone that plays bo3. It's a great day.

[@chriswampler1]

Demonic Pact is being used wrong in this build. Rakdos shell and it is one win condition. Very consistent to win with it. Beseech the Mirror works perfectly to land it and/or the red card the gives an opponent a permanent. Try it.

[@railander]

Old news my dude.

[@TheAcad3mic]

This feels better imo. The pact swap deck is a neat wincon but it's fragile and eats shit to counters and hand removal, which is far more common in the format than straight enchantment removal. Seems really strong to be able to abuse pact as a value engine while not dying off it ever.

@@chriswampler1 I'm not even talking about her channel, almost every youtuber, including some bigger ones, already played some version of a rakdos/grixis deck gifting the pact as a wincon.

[@Perniciles]

Hey, I'm new around here and I gotta say, it's pretty difficult to know anything about the deck you're playing before I click the video. Specifically you talked about Dimir midrange, I thought I'd go find the video for it, but I'm not really willing to stare at thumbnails and guess which video that might be. Would it be possible to have a deck name in the video titles or does that mess with the algorithm or something?

[@tomnookyankees3761]

Reportedly Miyazaki has already said he's interested in revisiting bloodborne with the implication being that it's entirely Sony's fault that it hasn't been revisited yet.
