36:00 instead of using the lands and orb you could’ve used the treasure. Youd have one floating mana left and then you could activate orb to maybe get another dragon. And then you could’ve sneaked him and maybe win. Maybe. Depends on the draw.

[@OhNoItsRez]

I thought the same thing. He likely would have drawn into terror and would have won. Oh well I guess haha 🤷‍♂️

[@hcpwnography6157]

hold priority after declaring attackers, order the attack triggers to trigger mighty's last, get two treasure tokens from Goldspan, sac for 4 mana, use 1 to activate orb, then use the other 3 mana to kill the 1/1 spirit, then mighty triggers for whatever dragon you get from the orb.

[@strickermic]

@@hcpwnography6157 improvise weaponry is a sorcery though

[@gamingsincethe80s60]

When you dropped the 4/4 haste, you could have attacked with 0/1 too. That treasure created from the 4/4 could have paid for infuriate. Instant drop on the 0/1 for that 3/3, 3/3 + 4/4 haste = 6+ power attacking, drop attacking dragon for 5 more damage. Love the deck so much. Unfortunately I don't have the ability to open tons of packs but I can make similar decks with the freebies. Might take a little longer to get the combo but I make it work.

[@Zevox144]

40:54 Reminds me of a rakdos treasure deck I saw from an opponent in a Legenvd video (the Vecna deck iirc). They used maskwood nexus and magda so when they attacked or used a tap effect with any creature it would make treasure tokens.

[@aeroganja3515]

@5:50 could you not have attacked with the goblin, then used the infuriate on the goldspan making it a 7 triggering his ability allowing you to put down Terror?

[@KhaelaMenshaK]

Yes, I believe he could have indeed.

[@jaker2542]

Every mtga youtuber has this deck now

[@anthonyellison5998]

At 36:12 the dark lord missed it. If he sacrificed the treasure and used his last 4 lands, he would have had 6 mana and untapped dragon orb, enough to try to get a dragon into hand and play goldspan. Then if he hit just one more dragon, he could have attacked and gotten it down with the kobold and used the treasure made on attack to kill the only flyer. It’s a very thin line but one of the best ways to try for lethal in that spot. Still, the dark lord knew better

[@me1allica]

What Chris should be playing is Minion of Jason Dennis. 'If you have this in your hand on turn one, place this on the battlefield. When Minion of Jason Dennis enters the battlefield, search your library for any number of creatures and put them on the battlefield tapped and attacking with haste and triple strike'

[@somecallmejorge2462]

Through the power of the red mana, all things are possible.

[@GreekMorpheous]

Lost game against green stompy, correct play is to sac both, get a seccond dragon in hand after gold span, and attack with all.(the treasure token means he has the same amount of mana with either play) this would have given him lethal

[@pierssegal5910]

Why did this deck bring me such joy

[@jimblesjameson9202]

I think you could’ve gotten the game against the lovestruck beast if you had sacrificed the treasure to pay for gold span dragon, giving you six mana and having your orb untapped. Then use the last mana to look at the top seven, hopefully finding Terror. Correct me if I’m wrong though, just posting this so I can find out if I’m right about that.

[@hcpwnography6157]

Even better, hold priority after declaring attackers, order the attack triggers to trigger mighty's last, get two treasure tokens from Goldspan, sac for 4 mana, use 1 to activate orb, then use the other 3 mana to kill the 1/1 spirit, then mighty triggers for whatever dragon you get from the orb trigger. Edit: my bad that 2 dmg is a sorcery... missed that

[@peterczaja1669]

i have a historic combo i think you would like, mutate+praetors

[@MGmirkin]

To make this more consistent, don't just use "Infuriate," add "Built to Smash," too. :) Thus you get 8 chances at instant-speed 1cc [red] +3/+[...] to attacker, rather than only 4 chances! More odds of drawing 2x in opening hand. Wait, no, I think it doesn't work because Built to Smash only targets an already-attacking creature, but creature(s) have to b 6+ power BEFORE they attack? Dang, seemed good for a second there. N/M... Though... One could include R/G unless lands (Rootbound Crag) or shock lands (Stomping Ground) and include Giant Growth. Same deal. Just trying to increase odd of 2x turn two 1cc instant-speed +3.

[@kratix0469]

I think, you could have gotten terror of mount velos for free in the first game at the turn, where you played goldspan dragon, if you had attacked with both creatures, use the mana from the treasure, goldspandragon creates when attacking for infuriate to have a total of 7 power. You have to go to the settings tho and have to turn auto-trigger-ordering off.

[@maydayparade1998]

32:00 (idk if i linked that right) BEAUTIFUL play with the infuriate to kill the 3/3. It set you up for lethal on the next turn, and my autistic ass wanted to analyze and tell you about it. SORRY. Pretty sure you could play minion of the mighty, attack in with xorn and goldspan. you'd get your trigger for the dragon and have 9 going in the air with doublestrike for lethal.

If you can use the orb at instant speed he may have been able to win if he had killed the flier with his burn used the treasure to summon the dragon, then attacked with all and ordered the triggers so the treasure drops first, then before the minion triggers he sacks the orb using a treasure and prays that a dragon is somewhere in range.

[@matthewlohmeier2056]

I can't believe this deck doesn't include unleash fury or raking Claws to get Pack tactics to trigger more consistently.

[@Jonasz314]

Deck is suprisingly good. The turn 2 win is quite improbable since you need so many cards, but triggering the Minion ability isn't too hard. Against very defensive decks with lots of removal or board wipes, it probably is too uneven to pull out a win consistently.

Not sure if it was a misplay or I am just not reading cards correctly but any around 6 min when you played the treasure dragon why didnt you cast infuriate on the 0/ 1 them 2 together at that point would have been 7 power plus the trigger to put mount velus into play so that would be 10 plus 8 plus6 which would've have been leathal

[@thomaselong8718]

Not sure if you could attack with the 0/1 and 4/4 get trigger from the 4/4 to make a treasure cast infuriate on the 0/1 so it's a total of 7 power ... not sure if you would get the trigger from the 0/1 to pit the terror into play

[@anthonyellison5998]

The pack tactics only triggers if you attack with 6 power, so if you infuriate after attacks it’s too late. It only checks the power attacked with so changing that value by adding or removing it doesn’t make it untrigger or trigger. One of the weirder abilities for sure
