That Distant Melody was brutal. Thoralf already had more lands then he needed to snowball and then just bricked. I felt that to the depths of my ramp loving, drawing the wrong half of my deck soul.
@GraemeGunn10 ай бұрын
But it wasn't the Distant Melody's fault for all the lands, they would have been drawn anyway as the turns went on. It was actually good in a way, it removed those lands from the top of the deck, at least, now Thoralf can draw spells again.

Pauper videos are what brought me to the channel to begin with. Always more pauper. But honestly, no other YT MTG channel has the quality of play like Cardmarket does. It's so easy to follow games and the commentary has helped so much when watching videos on other formats I have not familiarity with.

About 1 in 1,000. He had already removed 7 nonlands and 4 lands from the deck (hand, board, graveyard). Assuming 14 lands total in the 60 the chance of drawing 4 consecutive lands is (10/49)*(9/48)*(8/47)*(7/46) = 0.0991%.

Welcome back, love to see more Andrea. Poor Thoralf at G1 with the forest draw (but the draw next ame was very much highroll). But since I like to be detailist. At 6:58 technically Krark sacriface artifact, that put Ichor on stack(that is mandatory ), then he retain priorit and can (in reaction) sacriface the other one. So stacks resolution goes Draw->1 damage->Draw 1->1 damage and if Andrea wanted he could play something after his first draw or perhaps sacriface artifact if we want to follow stakcs :) not draw 2 then deals 2 damage.:). Its also good to keep in mind in case opponent have say X/1 Y/5 Z/2 and you have 4 artifacts. You can sacriface one, draw first check if you draw Galvanic Blast (so you have metalcraft) and if not sacriface one more to still kill everything but Y/5. It usually doesnt matter especially when there are in fact no reactions, but its not correct. That Boros is also lovely deck must feels very good to play, well builded one. I was always sucker for samurai and Kamigawa block so I gotta say ultilizing brings me joy to watch. It feels incredible consistent. Maybe not the best deck, but consistence is key.
