Great video! Awesome game against Orzhov. Never give up, never surrender!

Thanks man - and indeed, learnt to keep playing even if situation seems grim :) And we got many wins like that!

12:18 Correct, counters are not considered card text so using Showdown there would only result in the Mite being able to block and losing toxic 1.
@SlothMtgАй бұрын
I actually forgot that this can allow mite to block - very niche but cool interaction :) Thanks my friend for the tips!❤🦥

This is a fun deck if you don't get hit with the sham of Wizards' matchmaking. Today, for example, I was playing a control deck and ran into 5 matches in a row of boros or mono red. So, I switch to a lifegain deck to combat those decks and I run into 4 matchups in a row against control. What gives, Wizards? You can't tell me they aren't using some AI to pull some strings in the background. It's a total scam.
@slaphappy-qb3jbАй бұрын
Oh it's no secret. Wizards doesn't hide or deny it. The best I can say is to play BO3. It removes the shuffler fixing and feels at least a little more balanced in terms of matchmaking. Though in truth that could be because in BO3 there aren't that many mono red decks since everyone side boards wraths for them and they just get shit on anywhere above gold

Oko is super fun! I have deck that pairs him with the new Jace and it oddly works super well. Excited for the new standard 😄

Sounds like a nice combo:D Indeed, can't wait new cards 🔥🔥
@chanlsdon6176Ай бұрын
I remember two more interactions about Showdown, is that it can hit through indestructable counters, and kill tokens who has power and toughness equals to X/X(such as those from Smithy)
@SlothMtgАй бұрын
Indeed, card has some hidden powers in niche situations - that might potentially get more popular as new cards emerge :) Excited for future showdown decks!

That 2nd game leading after going to 1hp I'm thinking, "No way....there's no way he top decks a board clear". Then you scry 2 into 2 temp lockdowns and casually say, "....cool....". Incredibly good at magic.
@SlothMtgАй бұрын
They were long overdue, but indeed, this was the only out - fun part is that I believe 1 lockdown still wouldn't be enough, we needed 2 in a row... Just REALLY good at magic 😂 One of most miraculous comebacks ever :D

Since Final Showdown is an Instant, you can kill his manlands if he activates them to block on your turn. That's a major upgrade for Control, especially since we can keep one of our guys alive at the same time 🙂. I *believe* that when it resolves, the effects are applied in the order they are written on the card, so it ought to be possible to use all three modes at once if necessary, and still save our creature?
@SlothMtgАй бұрын
Yep, you are completely correct :) Card is made in such a way, that you can save your creature, while sweeping everything else - just all around premium sweeper (but of course mana cost reflects it)

my god that 2nd game at 1hp, opponent deserves to rage from that top deck xD

that's a nice deck! i wont ask for a video, but could u share some faeries tribal deck list? im using one blue/black, which is cool.. and there are games and games, but isnt really HUGE, so to say, so, would be nice to see a list from u! thanks! see ya!
@SlothMtgАй бұрын
I believe we did one when faeries were introduced with previous sets, I think it would more or less be similar deck - while faeries are very cool, I believe it's very hard to win against red decks with it - so no promises. I'll check if there is any competitiveness in this tribe, but I didn't see it anywhere since months, unfortunately 🤷♂️❤🦥

Hello Sloth, thx for ur good content. I have a question, there are several mtg rotation proof videos. Why? rotation is in august right? or i'm wrong?
@ak47trainingАй бұрын
Rotation proof content? New cards instead of old staples? I'm watching all the ads and commenting for algo 😂 Second game was INSANE Recognizing the outs and playing towards them 👏
@SlothMtgАй бұрын
Thank you man, that's appreciated!❤❤🦥 Yeah - I really wasn't sure if it's possible to recover, I kinda lost hope :) It was probably one of the most miraculous comeback ever, I still can't believe this one :D

Hmm… Oko has been out how long and you are just now realizing how strong Oko is? A little slow but better late to the dance than never. You should try Oko with Mirror Box before it rotates. Brokers Ascendancy too. Throw in Jace, Reawakened and you will see.
@blobzombieАй бұрын
Sloth played Oko in Sultai Control before, and it really popped off. Your combination with Mirror Box sounds VERY intriguing.
