GG I was the one who sacced two lands into Ashiok. Lol. Maybe one day ill learn my lesson

[@joelbricker9920]

You can target yourself with the Ashiok mill since it says exile each opponents graveyard.

[@lngun]

Last game was tough. Amalia's win condtion these days is the aetherflux reservoir. To win you needed to axe on the turn the played return to the ranks and remove the dog in response to return to the ranks. Letting them have it on board leaves you dead to too many things. Its definitely something you need experience with to know how to play the matchup.

[@JLazyLaz]

@3:38 You didn't punt there. You had only cast 1 instant/sorcery that turn and could only cast 1 more, so you couldn't have reanimated your phoenix that turn. Edit: And in game 2 you realized that.

[@Jawzah]

There was a similar deck showcased in midweek magic but it also had the one drops that surveil 1 when sorc or instants .. Had some serious skill issues trying to play with that. Or perhaps UI issues - was really hard to manage to cat the 3 instant/sorceries before combat especially if one of them was treasure cruise and you had to (get to ) surveil for each as well as connive on the middle..

[@Jawzah]

19:09 - tiny misplay.. Why not let the snoop land before prankstering .. to see what the top card is before choosing.. I did a bigger misplay in my last MkM draft .. Opponent had Ezrim out (tapped).. Seemed like a desperate situation - but I attacked with a person of interest - no blocks - as expected - opponent would have had to trade and had life.. I played Treacherous greed.. And drew an extract a confession .. great - expect Idid not have any more black mana available.. I did draw swamp too -- but -- I had already played a land .. of no reason -- except that - usually you play a land before casting your big spell - like if the pponent could cast no more lies or something.. Also had a gravestone strider in hand .. and exactly 3 mana available after treacherous greed -- exactly not enough to cast the strider and extract a confession. Dunno if I had won but I had 3 critters on board and on the job.. With Ezrim out I might have survived another round to use them..

Clicked so fast,love izzet and was looking for some constructed deck

[@reidyo5404]

Nice. Was surprised you didn’t run this deck the last few meta challenges you did. Also, if you go creativity again, try the normal worlds line wurm build. So much more consistent and once you cast creativity it’s a win.

[@RW77777777]

that Proft's looks so busted

[@raccoon.443]

IZZET PHOENIX MENTIONED

[@pauldickson3831]

More pioneer! This is what I live for. Also play the crackling drakes when they bring graveyard hate, it makes the deck much better.

[@ajpruitt4628]

Always love to see Phoenix decks survive no matter what, on theme and always fun to pilot

[@nilespierson]

In the last game, had he just played the phoenix in hand before swinging and then played any 1 mana spell to pump the shredder, wouldn't he have hit for exactly 12? Couldn't he also have played two considers before attacking, discard phoenix to pump shredder, and then play lightning axe to ressurect it and swing for 12? There were definitely two lines for lethal he missed on his last turn. Granted, couldn't have known they would gain the life for sure, but should have hedged against it. Nevertheless, very good play.

[@silent_statement757]

at 3:45 you wouldn't've because shredders a creature and you only cast the consider

[@silent_statement757]

oh lol nevermind

[@nogatsira]

Started playing and learning phoenix today. Isnt it better to mill yourself for 4 with the planeswalker? Watched the whole run and hitted subscribe afterwards!

[@haileydee9954]

Nummy, if they bring graveyard hate you then bring in your drakes, they get bigger for cards being in your GY or exile.

[@beardedwendigo5291]

Did you not watch the video? He literally did this lol

[@calebbaker7452]

I def enjoy this type of content! Thanks

[@silent_statement757]

proft's memory is spicy! ooo!

[@lancelee338]

This is the first legit izzit deck I’ve seen on youtube that wasn’t limited. You never see that in standard

[@snappycaster]

Blue red phoenix has been a deck for like 5 years

[@Cetrab28]

Thanks for the constructed lesson, that was super fun❤

[@adrianmetz3013]

31:57 Is there any reason that I can't see that op didn't attack for 4 here? Ive checked everything and could not find anything at all, which definitely would've changed some things

[@shadeslayer2297]

Pretty happy to see you play some phoenix. Been trying to build this deck on arena and I'm almost done with it

[@christopherwright8188]

Ashiok is there for the amalia combo decks in explorer not for lotus field

[@PTDBond]

Watching nummy play some constructed is just what i needed! ❤❤

[@thcdreams654]

Hell yeah awesome content. Thanks bro. Fun stuff.

[@pointyheadYT]

Wait, is Faithless Looting not in this format? Why wouldn't you play that in this deck?

[@Oyraful]

it isn't in it.

[@joehusbands8538]

Great set of games. That last one was a kick in the nuts. Ggs nummy

[@silent_statement757]

Their shocks are from unfinity

[@pb9018]

I had great succes with this deck in Bo1

[@atranimecs]

Might seem insane but either I'd put 2 - Fabled Passages in this deck or 2 - Zoyowa's Justice so there is some shuffle effects that can help reset those instances where phoenix gets put on the bottom of the library.

[@NathannMorais]

My favorite streamer playing my favorite deck, hell yes

[@AlkonKomm]

double ashiok in the sideboard is really not necessary in explorer, almost nobody is playing lotus field, thats only really a deck in pioneer and I dont really like ashiok in the phoenix mirror either cause every phoenix player has spell pierces main and additionally sides in mystical disputes as well explorer has so many vamps players that its probably better to have a few more threats that are good against leyline in your sideboard. edit: also, you can mill yourself with ashiok, it doesnt exile your GY

[@BosSoxFan15]

That r1 opponent was living in an alternate universe. 15:34 They tapped for a mana and then just went to combat. What on earth happened there?
