Demo gameplay of my version of Boros Energy including how I approach sideboarding here: kzbin.infoGOpYjCqlRgo

[@thomasalford8908]

Thank you for preparing us for this weekend. You had asked in another video if we were still playing standard, I made a decision to stop playing standard completely until rotation and even then if a card doesn’t cut it in Historic or Timeless I am no longer crafting it. So that Will probably limit my standard options but need to start concerning mythic and rare wild cards. Very excited for bloomburrow plan on drafting that set a bit.

MTG Joe is goated

[@antoniomendes7171]

Boros convoke simply disappeared with this energy decks

[@Yesnomu]

Thanks for these! I should really craft Kethis at some point, it seems interesting and intricate. Appreciate the breakdown!

[@giacomosimonin212]

I'm glad people are playing tons of Boros, since i've been playing Squirrel Twin and stomp them most of the times.

[@MTGJoe]

Aggressively hits space bar to speed through the combo

[@mohin8256]

What deck are you playing? Have you got a list?

[@giacomosimonin212]

@@mohin8256 You can find the deck on Untapped, under Bo3 Historic, it's called Selesnya Squirrel Twin, but i changed a lot in the SB

[@jonnynice8366]

My janky Grixis Herald deck is performing quite well in the current bo1 metagame, lol.

[@MTGJoe]

Herald of anguish artifacts?

[@jonnynice8366]

@@MTGJoe No dude, the one and only Storm Herald. Immolation is my personal innovation to the deck. Boros Energy is a fantastic matchup.

[@heraldofv3379]

Do you think powerbalance is good in the lurrus boros energy mirror ?

[@MTGJoe]

The thought is reasonable but I ended up just going with sun cleanser and it was really good

[@MrTheraseus]

Great content ! I am currently 6 wins and 5 on the meta game challenge with Boros lurrus. Any tips regarding which sideboard cards are best and what to take against what matchups ? I feel that is my weakness right now. I am using your list but with espero sentinel instead of the crappy cat .

[@MTGJoe]

I’m away from comp right now but let me know if a matchup in particular and I can share my thoughts. I have a video of Bo3 to see but the list there is before my current iteration as I was testing different options at the time

[@MrTheraseus]

@@MTGJoe don't worry; I mostly struggle to what to cut ( usually the esper sentinels are clear cut and one unstable amulet) but I end up adding to much removal or the battle and then I know what to take out ( against control and sweepers would be when I struggle the most )

[@MTGJoe]

@MrTheraseus usually esper sentinel in creature mirrors where tax isn’t relevant. Vs faster decks I cut amulet or sometimes 1 bombardment (basically cards I don’t want to see more than 1 of)

[@johnwhitby8851]

Is there a historic version of Rakdos Vampires that does ok? Am hoping to just port something over without having to craft too much. Thanks for the great info as always Joe.

[@MTGJoe]

61% win rate for bombardment version Deck 4 Fatal Push 2 Swamp 4 Sulfurous Springs 4 Blood Crypt 4 Goblin Bombardment 4 Blackcleave Cliffs 4 Bloodghast 4 Sorin, Imperious Bloodlord 4 Seasoned Pyromancer 4 Blightstep Pathway 4 Deadly Dispute 1 Den of the Bugbear 2 Hive of the Eye Tyrant 4 Voldaren Epicure 1 Takenuma, Abandoned Mire 4 Vein Ripper 4 Forsaken Miner 2 Galvanic Discharge

[@johnwhitby8851]

Have to learn to watch the whole video before asking lol. Is fable an ok swap for seasoned pyromancer? I have the wild cards and could craft them, just being stingy.

[@MTGJoe]

@johnwhitby8851 it’s not terrible but pyro works a bit better here since it’s card advantage and more bodies for bombardment. Not terrible and you can likely make it work

[@Rrrqqk]

Joe colorless ramp/eldrazi is top meta to bo1 or bo3 ?

[@MTGJoe]

I’d say more fun of then top of the meta. Format is very fast with energy so it’s a bit slow.

[@heraldofv3379]

Ok I'm late but I got eliminated twice by mono g devotion with I'm pretty sure the same list of yawgmoth shown in the deck, I'm thinking about potentially bringing in angel of eternal dawn for the mu. Anyone confirm ? Or should I just stick to an optimal post side 60 Idk about ? Or do I misplay the mu heavily ?

[@MTGJoe]

The guy who plays the list (like 159-15) record is in my discord, name is Kapala. I’d ask them as I haven’t had a chance to run it yet

[@heraldofv3379]

@@MTGJoe big thanks

[@heraldofv3379]

I'll see if I can see any info from them myself

[@cloudmane4159]

Energy gotta get nerfed

[@MTGJoe]

It’s strong we will see how they end up managing it
