How Many Free 4/4's Can We Make on Turn One? | Much Abrew

The lack of exerting Arena of Glory hurts so much

[@charredhusk]

Yeah…there were a lot of times where he could have played arena sooner or exerted it at the right time and either won outright or had a much higher chance of winning a round… He is right, it is an amazing card, but getting used to how to sequence it is not easy either

27:02 you can haste in the flame blade with your arena AND cast burning inquiry here to put your opponent to 2, and disrupt their hand. Would have given you a much higher chance to win, though still no guarantee.

[@Svetlio1337]

The titan matchup was such a blunder. You definitely go for exerted arena to haste the adept + spend the second R to burning inquiry. Hoping to hit their titan or win condition is how you avoid losing.

[@derekcline950]

The trick is being hollow on the inside yourself, that way you start with an extra Hollow One

[@simonr6268]

There have been multiple instances, where you missed a bunch of damage due to not wasting creatures with arena of glory.

[@nathanwilson6324]

I think in the first match you could have killed a turn earlier in both games by exerting the Arena of Glory more aggressively to cast Hollow One with haste, which would have helped play around the wrath! Love seeing this deck again ☺️

[@zackestin1368]

Why did you scoop to the goblin deck game 1? They hadn’t shown a win condition because infinite tapped creatures is not that.

[@Freezingfist1]

Hey! I've been waiting for this one. Seth has Siege Rhino. I have Hollow One. If it's even somewhat competitive, Modern is in a better place.

[@blueredlover1060]

47:15 the primary Goryo's targets are Griselbrand and Atraxa, both of which can be played by Kaalia. As a fifth copy of Goryo's it makes some sense.

[@Duall8]

It's very likely Aspiringspike's list. With Arena of Glory, Kaalia kind of becomes a Through the Breach for the 2 targets that leaves the creature in play (but can be interacted with before combat). Not only does it act as extra Goryo's, it also makes you less weak to graveyard hate postboard.

[@crazyvikingboy2856]

13:13 what is the combo he lost to here? Wouldn’t all of the goblins be tapped from making a bunch of copies?

[@ryker416]

He scooped to early. They need another combo piece. But given that they start copying they likely had it

[@nyancat9456]

Seems like he forgot that or just scooped early assuming that the opponent had the other pieces of the combo in hand.

[@OnePointSafety]

Great games :D also, what a cool reanimator deck at the end :D

[@michaelp5712]

What was the combo with snoop, ignoble and kiki @13:01 that would cause Seth to instant quit?

[@zirilan3398]

Snoop has the activated of Kiki and since Snoop is non-lregendary he can just copy himself an infinite number of times. The tokens would be sacced on endstep but if you make the tokens during the endstep they stick around for a turn since the sac-trigger happens begging of the next endstep.

[@willashcroft2396]

since they get tapped to activate the ability though, wouldn’t he end up with only 2 blockers (the heirarch and the last token he makes)? with detectives phoenix and a lucky draw it feels possible

[@thisismyCoolFace]

yeah his opponent didn’t have the win and Seth could’ve won on his turn unless his opponent had a goblin bombardment

[@afeather123]

I was just wondering, why was Kikki on top automatically game? You can make infinite copies of snoop but they're all tapped... is there something I'm missing or don't you need another piece for it to be game?

[@kelvinliu-huang5955]

Yeah. I think that was an early scoop. Normally you would use Boggart Harbinger to put Kiki on top, make a bunch of tapped goblins, then finally copy Boggart to search Siege Gang Lieutenant who can sac the tapped goblins

[@stephenhousman6975]

You make a bunch of copies during opponent's eot. Copies stay until next eot so they have lethal come next turn. The only way to stop that is to force shuffle them in the middle of your turn.

[@catsock16]

35:28 if im not mistaken you did have lethal no matter what because you could crack the fetch to get a mountain and then pump the rootwalla 3 times

For the goblins matchup, you could have sided in the surgical extraction! let the snoop target snoop with kiki, then in response you surgical extraction ANYTHING in their grave, forcing their deck to shuffle, and losing them the kiki on top.

[@chartypeplays2396]

23:21 Why not keep the surgical extraction and just discard 2 lands here? You put the extraction in because it helps get rid of their wincons, and while you might want to have 3 mana to double spell, it seems like the extraction is better.

Amulet is insane. Turn 2 kill basically.

[@jboveda]

Just noticed that this deck is essentially mono red. Having the stomping grounds I think is actually a mistake. Taking 2 often in matches is much worse than the occasional upside of being able to CAST a Vengevine (which you never want to do) or the option to side in Nature's Claim (plenty of 1-mana artifact destruction spells in red so you'd only be soft to enchantments).

[@stephenhousman6975]

You get screwed if a leyline or rip hits play (which are enchantments). Red doesn't have enchantment removal. Ox and looting have flashback and FOMO cares about the yard. It isn't just vengvine.

[@milkman5586]

Yo seth, im working on a build of this with dunes of the dead and edge of autumn. i'll let you know when i get it to work

[@milkman5586]

Also you forgot noxious revival

[@Inforza]

in the end the opponent scooped the 1st game, but didn't you actually miss lethal there? play the faithless looting, discard the arena and the FOMO, that will give you 4 cardtypes in the yard. Exert the arena and play the other FOMO which has haste now. Attack for 11 damage and then use the hollow one of vengevine to attack a 2nd time for another 4 damage.

[@neil5652]

Should be playing commercial districts for the surveil value

[@davidhansen5067]

Two big takeaways for me: 1. Hollow One is just not quite up to scratch because it has no meaningful interaction. 2. Amulet Titan has skirted just shy of getting a banning for years.

[@midnalight6419]

6:02 Part of me wonders if it would have been better to play arena Activate arena for RR Then looting And then your hollow one has haste at the end of it and you clap for 8 It costs you your mana next turn but your hand was just fomo or flashback looting So, seems reasonable?
