Dimir Kaito Tempo Control | FDN Standard MTG Arena

[@arcford211]

@CovertGoBlue GG CGB, I was the Synthesizer deck. Super cool to play against you! Hope I gave you a fun match!

[@hassanamal2009]

Sick deck bro

[@shawncampbell340]

Awesome deck 🎉

[@YonickMr]

i need a decklist!!

[@bdoomedttv9178]

now that artifact deck was damn scary holyyy

[@ryanconley3932]

Yeah It's the Malone deck It's pretty mean and Arena always curves it well

[@rubentoco9316]

​@@ryanconley3932 yeah and usualy i dont run ways to deal with artifact decks so either im fast enough or might aswell concede and save time

[@ryanconley3932]

@@rubentoco9316 yeah some of my decks do but getting the the shuffler to deal the right cards sucks. instance speed board wipes would be nice

[@Vizual_D16]

@@ryanconley3932 yeah malone is dirty for that one...such a crazy deck...

[@thiagodasilvatls]

That izzet artifacts deck was really cool!

[@jacobcisneros7731]

So was that mono white token? deck I like the value and constant field presence

[@thenerdcatfish]

What Foundations did was give a few tools to existing deck, and Llanowar Elves. That said, Llanowar enables a lot of green decks that weren't viable. I've top 8 a local RCQ with a Selesnya Overlord Caretaker's deck. I hear monogreen and selesnya aggro are popping out every now and then.

[@Vizual_D16]

i live for selesnya aggro....the counters archtype is so underused imo

[@grumpyzebra4450]

Where is the blue/ white control? Is it safe? (no) is it alright? (This meta hates thought)

[@Xalkerro]

"Thoughts" LOL!

[@drunakus]

I watched the arcford match live. Me and him were in discord and he was streaming. So dope

[@stolve8847]

Surgical Suite being an enchantment also prevents picklock prankster from retrieving it in the Oculus deck.

[@addisoninman3672]

I died laughing when you said you were a moron after not playing the drowner

[@TeamCardgaming]

The new Kaito from Foundations is underestimated in my opinion. Like Niv Mizzet synergises with Niv Mizzet, Kaito synergises with Kaito! You either spam out Ninja's who grow with your emblems or you make things unblockable (and loot 1) to enable Kaito's ninjutsu or finish the opponent. Also since dealing combat damage gives Kaito Loyalty Counters he is fairly hard to remove and can use his ultimate fairly easy.

[@fusfauxpas]

Been doing a Kaito brew with the 3 standard legal planeswalkers, Nashi, Saibo Cryptomancers, and Invasion of Kamigawa for ninja shenanigans, lots of fun

[@williamkohler8073]

The synthesizer match was gas.

[@666Wolfhunter666]

I'm already in love with this :D

[@Sinzari]

I'm pretty sure Mythics are never the concern when it comes to crafting decks, I've never run out of Mythic wildcards but I'm always out of rare

[@Noobie2k7]

Same. I currently have 0 rare wildcards and have 13 mythics left. I think the reason is that the majority of your rare wildcards get eaten up by the staple rare 2 colour lands instead of interesting cards.

[@Sinzari]

@Noobie2k7 yeah, but also I find that decks just have a lot of rares and usually only like 2 or 3 different cards that are mythic, even outside of lands

[@kurvekrieger666]

I open the video: "OMG JUST DIE!" Few seconds in, im already amused

[@Sinzari]

I actually think the other Kaito is better for this deck, it fits your curve much better and saves you from running Preacher which is just not good enough anymore imo, plus it doesn't require you to bounce your own creature and gives you an extra creature (should almost always go for the 2/1) instead of leaving you with 1 less creature. Has better synergy with the whole cheap flyer attackers strategy too, because it's REALLY easy to get a free 2/1 EVERY turn with it. Gives you free board presence to set you up for the greedy enduring curiosity to draw, and is impossible to efficiently remove, because you get a 2/1 as soon as you play it, so even if they burn 2 mana and a card to play it, you've still got a 2/1 for 1 mana effectively. It's just so good.

[@christopheraretz9975]

I would love to hear your take on what control needs to be a viable option. Right now Bo1 and Bo3 meta is all aggro/midrange. There are control decks in the meta.

[@dmcdante1991]

It needs broader and earlier cheap removal. You can’t run too many counter spells because of anti counter cards and the threats are too diverse to run specific removal for everything. Even with sideboard you have to board in a direction and not hedge against most of the meta.

[@jorjor500]

Something also to note is there is some insane CA in standard at the moment, and will be for awhile. Innocence and curiosity on top of caretakers talent and annex means any deck resolving even one of those effects that you don’t have an immediate answer to will drown you in CAn

[@DontUseHack]

you go play yugioh, majority dont like removal /counter spam, and rightfully its not the msot viable option.

[@christopheraretz9975]

There's more to the game than mono red turning cards sideways. If people don't like interaction or different strategies maybe they should explore other games. MtG was built with interaction as a fundamental part of the game. Interaction makes for better and more fun play experiences. It makes the game 2 sided and not just who can turn the most cards sideways the fastest.

[@dyslixecturtle2755]

What changes would you make for the Bo3 paper meta?

[@hastat7322]

seems every deck in standard nowadays is black or red

[@loopygordo]

Zombify dimir has been pretty fun to play with.

[@lmv2s]

This video is looking crispy

[@edkolbe1850]

This deck wants Slitherwisp... if only it was legal

Critical mass of Kaitos

[@voltcorp]

lol "kaito tempo" sounds like "how long?" or "long time no see!" in Portuguese

[@Tech35_]

The Faerie Mastermind in the thumbnail lol, bro is not the World Champion

[@Vizual_D16]

Is it just me, or is CGB that kid from fairy odd parents grown up? his last wish was for the ultimate magic collection....lol meow anyone who reads this and gets the reference will never see anything else lol dig the deck...dimir ninjas are so fun...

[@naspalm5688]

kaito will never not sound like drifter from destiny 2

[@kaemonbonet4931]

Both of those cgbs in the thumbnail look like theyre about marge simpson mollywop me

[@olivermeloche2042]

wouldn't 4 Cut downs help agaisn't the aggro matches?

[@dmcdante1991]

This isn’t a control deck but sure, still enjoy watching you play!

[@Aenim1983]

Why nobody adds a Sheoldred the apocalypse to this kind of decks?

[@wafflebroz]

12:08 I know him!

[@monopoman]

Dimir always felt like a deck better suited to Bo3, you can win with it in Bo1 but the deck loses a lot of it's SB power.

[@CristianCiotti]

This deck reminds me of the firsts Esper midrange deck with Raffine in Streets of New Capenna. Draw Kaito and the deck works really well, don’t draw him and the deck sucks.

[@KroyX]

Have been playing Izzet Synthesizer for some months, funny deck but too slow against aggro.

[@mcheezy]

CGB: oh wow it's monastery swiftspear new card Also CGB: *plays land*

[@RachetLikesOat]

idk how we're playing the same game, I barely see any red aggro, everyone plays overlord piles or dimir.

[@nicklaswachter2343]

Give me 10 times Mono Red than 1 times this deck

[@josha8737]

I made it to top 500 mythic with Mono U control, only thing I consistently lose to is mono red aggro but if I draw decent cards I can beat it. Only creature is seedshark but I do take opponents creatures with spells. I'm prob gonna stop playing because I can't stand discard decks and I swear every other deck is a discard or mono red aggro it's so stale. I can beat the discards but the games are just boring.

[@themanfromerf]

Haven't played MTG in years, unfortunately. Kind of got turned off of it around the time when they started going hard on the universes beyond stuff. I really didn't like WoTC doing that, it felt like they were cheapening the game I've loved since I was like 12 in a very consumerist, soulless and pandering way. The tone of the game started shifting in a direction I didn't like, too many new keywords and mechanics that mostly feel like they were just new for the sake of it, or gimmicks to appeal to people familiar with other IP's or cultural tropes. I don't think anybody was asking for a bunch of new mechanics or card types, I certainly wasn't. There's no LGS anywhere near where I've been living for the last 5 or so years and I don't have any friends that play, so I ended up biting the bullet and selling most of my cards. I hadn't played a game of commander in years, but it still hurt a bit. I still theory craft and I have a few popular decks on moxfield, and it's been enough for me to still enjoy the game, but at a distance. I somehow ended up getting into yugioh through master duel. IDK why people say it's bad for new people, I jumped right in and had a blast from day one. Way more free to play than Arena, and the eternal format (the only format) is a lot of fun. It's a different game, but I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. I always thought MTG was just the better game in every way and yugioh was kind of a joke. Mfw I'm playing 4D chess with my opponents and most games are way more interactive and interesting than a standard best of 1. Mfw I actually love this new game. Magic still holds a special place in my heart. I'll always be interested in how it's doing and answer the phone if it calls, like that one ex lol. Still think the game has gone to sh*t.

the amount of misplays hurts my brain
