Soooo many uploads lately; we're getting spoiled and I love it! As always, awesome and entertaining matches, crokeyz!

[@kratox123]

there's no chat, that sucks. keep your uploads if it doesnt have chat man

[@jackfriedman9777]

I cannot stress enough how much rakdos never left no matter how many times I asked it to

[@davestier6247]

As it turns out, Shelly is a magic card.

[@JStack]

The meta is so *diverse* just look at all the ways you can run black

[@busTedOaS]

​@@JStack as a black fan, I agree both ironically and not ☠️

[@Icameron259]

Shelly into Red Shelly is why we play Rakdos, right?

[@derekdoggett3292]

Cool deck. I lol'd when your esper opponent let scoundrel resolve and then proceeded to go for the throat it.

[@Lukas-lm8uh]

another good one Stephen

[@Temurmemer]

Deep cavern bat, Malcolm, and deepfathom echo have all made your sultai deck even better. 4 bat 2 malcolm and 1 echo

[@dwelsh226]

RAKDOS IS BACKDOS

[@iankimmins2461]

9 lands in 11 cards would definitely make me call it a day

[@fallguybuddy2654]

16:14 Streamer speaks the truth!

If I see dracosaur i click

[@dynamicmechanix9397]

Yaaassss. Rakdos smakdos

[@mikeyj.philly]

So many new Shelly decks to try?

[@bohdan_bond]

👏

[@dragade101]

It looks like you are hiding twitch chat? Occasionally I would try to read that microscopic text as its context to what Mr Croke is saying. Same that isn’t there anymore.

[@wirelessbaguette8997]

after FIVE YEARS crokeyz still doesn't know the keyword symbols on his creatures. does he play on 6 inch monitor? cool deck tho

[@grantgiordano6730]

Long Live Balotelli

[@dragade101]

@23:35, is that what we call a NYCLandlord hand?

[@cmfrtbly_nmb]

must kill creature three turns in a row has GOT to be good enough to be competitive, right?

[@zarAK471]

Would decadent dragon fit in this deck?

[@TurtleneckSweater-tw7hw]

Yeah, especially with the treasures you can get from the pirate

[@joshinya66]

Is there any decent jund builds since ixalan released?

[@paulwochnowski4745]

So streamer has revised his opinion of dracosaur since set reveal?

[@MTGABrewLab]

That was one of the worst floods I've ever seen..

[@CristianCiotti]

What’s going on with all this aggro in bo3?

[@benniemi3213]

Who was it that said the dino was bad????

[@dragade101]

Are there Pioneer decks that like Mirrex or is it too little in the faster format?

[@hannesneven3644]

Learning this game but it’s confusing 🙈 Most of the games the opponent had more life but then they die ? The Sheldon card people like but it doesn’t attack or block allot just sits there ?

[@MrMoman7]

The opponents just conceded early. Especially aggressive decks get paced out quickly, no need to play for a theoretical 1% chance to win. At tournaments people don't give up that fast. Sheoldred is great for blocking (but if the opponent attacks into her, that likely means he has a dmg based removal or a combat trick) and actually will win the game slowly even if she just sits around because of the constant lifedrain - with no need to take any risks attacking (or blocking..). The "right" evaluation of board states and likely developement of a match after only a few turns comes with time :)

[@hannesneven3644]

@@MrMoman7 okay thanks so shes too valuable to risk losing then makes sense. Aggro decks seem to love when they are winning but concede very quickly also when it changes hehe You had a chance to do what your deck does and if it wasn’t enough let the other person finish the game that’s what I try and do .

[@LucienZeroOne]

Funny enough sheldon and shelly have some serious twin potential. You cant touch them or you will suffer, if they attack you will suffer, if they just sitting there you will suffer and if you wanna do something like getting ahead on the "board" like drawing some cards (thoughts....) you will suffer... 😅

[@l0lan00b3]

Google level one by Reid duke. It's many articles compiled into a table of contents on the magic website but does a pretty good job at explaining the angle of the game.

[@blinkeyz786]

Bro wants 27 lands……….

[@josilot]

Have you noticed that you have casually adopted AliEldrazi's Hand-On-Shoulder stance? You use this stance a lot. Stance is an important way that you communicate to people, as it tells Twitch Viewers when KZbin videos are being recorded. Yet despite the tell, your KZbin editor continues to neglect to cut times when you are singing to songs we can't hear.

[@l0lan00b3]

Haha true tho but what ever it's funny when he's singing to us. I would bet the shoulder thing is a comfort measure.

[@Fukers]

27 lands lol
