[@griffinhunter1720]

I dont have the time to digest the metagame so its very fun to see someone with a better understanding building the same archetypes I'd like to try

[@SnapBolt]

@@griffinhunter1720 this deck seems solid right now!

[@danielaybar7831]

14:00 There I was, fully expecting a double blood activation discarding and returning both snackers to the battlefield... (not today, I guess 😥)

[@sovsen92]

Another fun (also kind of confusing) way of thinking about the Grab the Prize/Sneaker Snacker synergy is that it effectively lets Snacker has haste. It even enters tapped so it looks as if it attacked. So like: 1R Flying, haste When this enters, draw a card. 2/1 And yeah yeah, it's also unblockable and it has to attack on its first turn in play, but let's not get too too technical here PS. love Sneaky Snacker, easily one of the more interesting cards among the many MH3 powerhouses

[@SnapBolt]

@@sovsen92 yeah, exactly. 👍🏼

[@kats7930]

The name of the card you were looking for is Demand Answers

[@SnapBolt]

@@kats7930 thanks, I always remember them later / off stream

[@jamesmccabe3041]

Some relics in the side would be good I think. Gives you some graveyard hate and helps with hitting metal craft. But the maindeck looked awesome and really fun. Nothing feels better than faithless looting 2 madness cards haha! And Grab the Prize looked amazing too. The 2 damage is basically a free burn spell.

[@SnapBolt]

@@jamesmccabe3041 yeah, definitely, or nihil spellbomb

[@2uxf3r]

Cool, one of the hottest deck in the format! 🤡 🦇 🧚 🔥 ☠️

[@SnapBolt]

@@2uxf3r yeah, grab the prize was a nice addition

[@davidesugar]

oh boy he's really back!

[@SnapBolt]

@@davidesugar no doubt

[@cpthurme]

Let’s go! 🥳

[@SnapBolt]

@@cpthurme let’s GO

[@manabirds]

Good games 🔥

[@SnapBolt]

@@manabirds yeah, great league, good result

[@benlittle5543]

Madness Max pauper champ! Wooooo

[@SnapBolt]

@@benlittle5543 thanks 😎

[@CPyJIb]

I would play Insolent Neonite and Tortured Existence, maybe other madness creatures as well.

[@bigdog6286]

Good deck I question the sideboard

[@SnapBolt]

@@bigdog6286 yeah, sideboard could be changed a lot

[@devangoad]

10:31 pyroblast doesn’t stop broodscale and didn’t seem to necessary. Like, you just cast so many spells baiting a counter is easy enough

[@SnapBolt]

@@devangoad doesn’t stop broodscale but it stops terror!

[@PajaKulebrc]

Not sure I would run so much removal in side - Cast Down seems kinda unnecessary considering the Extract Confessions (which do pretty much the same job of killing big stuff). Having zero grave hate (two Nihil Spellbombs for example) makes some matchups almost unwinnable. Such as cycle-storm or jund reanimator dredge (where Gnaw to the Bone just completely destroys you).

[@SnapBolt]

@@PajaKulebrc true, only thing is cast down is specifically good against broodscale which is a strong and popular deck right now. But graveyard hate seems good too

[@PajaKulebrc]

@@SnapBolt Any three damage burn spell kills Broodscale too (plus you have Trespassers Curses as hard lock). Direct removal like Cast Down in this specific deck is probably just useful for stuff with more than 3 toughness (Terrors, Chrysalis, other big ponza monsters).

[@Martian_Manhunter]

​@@PajaKulebrc Trespasser's curse is a hurdle, not a hard lock. You can go off in response to it's triggers.

[@carlosretamero9781]

I'm putting grab the prize in the deck right now. What's your take on including the unlucky land (Razortrap Gorge) as well?

[@flosiporosi7827]

This is the one deck where i could see it 👍🏻👍🏻 Its extremely mana hungry and drops opponents life points down quickly

[@SnapBolt]

@@carlosretamero9781 I might try 1-2 gorge next time. Seems reasonable but I definitely want 4 ping lands and as many artifact lands as possible

[@NickAlsup]

I think this deck is reaching a point where it makes less sense to play a full 4 faithless looting. You don't want it turn 1-2 and these extra good new draw spells grab the prize and demand answers are so good turn 2 and up.

[@SnapBolt]

@@NickAlsup potentially, but discard snacker to looting is good as well. Gives you lots of inevitability vs blue decks because it’s bad for them to let looting resolve

[@xxANBUxx]

I know people were playing scrapwork mutt before, is that card not good enough anymore?

[@SnapBolt]

@@xxANBUxx not sure, seems worse to me than more discard 1, draw 2 effects but could be good - especially against counters and giving you more board presence

[@superluckyhappylife2358]

​@@SnapBolt you spend less mana /w blood token

[@alexpaww]

Great video, as always :) Is there some way to support you? Like donations or patreon or anything like that?

[@SnapBolt]

@@alexpaww thanks a lot, I really appreciate that, but not right now, no, not monetarily. Just subscribe to my channel, like the videos, ring the bell for notifications, and comment to feed the algorithm. Thanks!

[@kevinvervier9064]

If you were playing the list with 5 uncos slos, what could it be? Great content as always 👌

[@SnapBolt]

@@kevinvervier9064 uncos slos?

[@kevinvervier9064]

@@SnapBolt apologies I meant: uncommon cards slots

[@SnapBolt]

@@kevinvervier9064 oh wow, I have absolutely no idea on that one. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@kevinvervier9064]

@@SnapBolt I found it a fun thought exercise 😄

[@MornaranBand]

Shrapnel blast

[@devangoad]

3 mana, 2/2 flying haste. Draw two cards deal two damage. I can’t believe I used to like blightning 😂 this new card is busted with kitchen imp

[@DonDee123]

Even more with snacker imo

[@hendrikd2113]

since u end up with the same number of cards in your hand, it would only draw 1 card in ur analogy.

[@SnapBolt]

@@devangoad yeah, you are right expect it’s more like a 3 mana 2/2 flying haste deal 2 draw 1 because you have to spend 2 cards from hand

[@devangoad]

Did you see the reddit post where paper kitty was saying he wasn’t convinced about snacker being good in madness? He had some solid arguments

[@devangoad]

Imo, some number of blood fountains might be better, especially with how good kitchen imp is with it.

[@devangoad]

With grab the prize doing 2 damage and instant reviving the faerie unlike faithless looting Im a huge fan of the fae

[@SnapBolt]

@@devangoad I think snacker is good in this deck from my limited experience. It was easy to recur this league

[@aernieburns8919]

What is a Leageu? Sounds like a type of pasta.

[@SnapBolt]

@@aernieburns8919 lol, surprised no one has said anything yet

[@oblobear2093]

As expected.😅

Time code would be nice
