Just wanna say that I really appreciate the way you write your descriptions. I know it's tempting to just write "Naya" or "URG" and leave it at that, but not only writing out the colors but also explicitly connecting them to the common term helps make your content much more accessible, and gently inducts new players into the community. That kind of thoughtfulness is how your channel got me way more involved in MTG than I was before it, and partly why you're my favorite MTG content creator to this day.

@@nicknick1766Most players don't have the wildcards to try out new decks and therefore choose to make mono red, which is both cheap and has a high winrate, in order to grind out the ladder and earn more

@@nicknick1766 Whilst I can't speak to current standard, mono-red often has formats with quite interesting decisions paths, especially in best of three. Whilst some games are linear, decided-by-the-opening-hand affairs, that can happen with any decent archetype. It's the close, tight games that allow for lots of skill expression as you evaluate your limited resources and determine the worth for trading time for board presence, seasoned with just enough top-deck tension that activates the Skinner box dopamine parts of the brain. That keeps the experience fresh and exciting and the play patterns varied in many matchups. For me, at least, more so that whatever board-based curvout midrange pile is the current hotness. Again, not saying this is the case for every format. Nor am I saying there aren't times where it's brainless. But the times where the brain has to activate I find to be increadably rewarding.

The worst next to whiffing is getting a second crewmate off the top, plus even if you do whiff, it meant no throne for 4 draws so a deck shuffle helps a lot.

I was like "damn this is a loss already", but i played the last card i had which was a Time Warp...my opponent instantly conceded. I was like..."Whaaaat? I don't have any other card to play, i can't even attack you dude", but i guess my opponent was too much of a loser to even see i had very little chance in that game.
