TAII WAKEEN, PERFECT SHOT | Magic the Gathering: Arena Standard Deck

[@MegaMogwai]

In the earlier games I had some slip ups with Taii Wakeen. If you can clear units AND develop Taii, always develop Taii first so that you can draw off of her effect!

[@WhittleDragon]

Yo!! I haven’t really gotten to spam watch your stuff since you got back into MTGA, but I wanna it’s good to have you back. I started watching in during the early magic days got off standard after you quit. Love your brews, ready to see what you got cooking.

[@brutal-noodle]

Man your content is just amazing. You instantly became my favorite arena content creator, just awesome stuff. I noticed you made a video for new players, could you maybe make a video one day on how to create decks like you? Or how you create an off meta deck?

[@MegaMogwai]

Thanks for the kind words! I could do a video like that later down the line, right now i'm hyper focusing on keeping the daily decks coming, since we got started less than two weeks ago! I'll keep this suggestion in mind though, thanks again man real happy you like the content!

[@darkskyxgames]

If you really want to know it I recommend you searching for swimstream. He had a few videos about deckbuilding tips. He made continously good meta decks while LOR was good. Basically it is a matter of problem-solving. Learning concepts like low floor and high ceiling. It is very complex and you need years of experience. I was doing okay decks and my decks got better at that time when I learned some concepts. Probably the best tip has to be that the deck needs to work together under the same synergy. Mog makes a lot of testing but other deckbuilders just by theorycrafting they get very close to the final deck. Most of the time you'll have a core of cards and then the rest to adapt to the meta or solving problems that come with the deck itself. Hope it helps.

You know, I see some people say your decks aren't all that original - and I mean, maybe not when there are millions of other players. But I really enjoy the diversity and I always have. Somehow other youtubers doesn't quite reach the same level of different playstyles between decks, even if they switch from aggro to control between videos, and its kinda strange.

[@DivineSoupCan]

22:17 TW, Perfect Shot draws you a card when you deal damage equal to a creature’s toughness. The creature you killed showed a 2 in the toughness space of its stat block, but that was because it was a 4 toughness creature with 2 damage marked on it. Its toughness still counts as 4, so even though it displays that you only need to deal 2 to kill it, you’d still need to deal 4 damage to draw a card. Similarly, you could deal 1 damage to a 1 toughness indestructible creature repeatedly to draw over and over again!

I'm glad this video has more matches than usual. I know you like to keep videos relatively short, but more matches help showcase the decks better in MtG. I wouldn't mind longer videos so the decks can be showed more against multiple types of match-ups.

[@arthurmonteiro9788]

Same! Around 5 or 7 games is great.

[@Capt_Caveman69]

Just ran this deck at my local FNM and won 🎉 had some ill-timed explosions instead of the deluge. But the big winner was the deserts from outlaws. Dropping a land and dealing 9 to face felt pretty good. Did follow it up with 3 helixs doing 12 😊

[@blobzombie]

The cool thing about this build is that it's practically rotation proof; Out comes Memory Deluge, in goes Farsight Ritual, which is an amazing replacement. Same with End the Festivities and in comes Tectonic Hazard, or even Caught in the Crossfire. Your content has been nothing short of superb, and I'm enjoying everything you're doing. If y'all haven't subscribed, please do so!

[@mikebott6940]

All good points. I think that Scorching Shot has a place in this deck too.

[@breakingthewall2112]

What about Iteration???

[@blobzombie]

@breakingthewall2112 My bad. I completely blanked on that one. There's always a copy effect in future sets. Bloomburrow, Duskmourn, and/ or Foundations might have something. Only time will tell for sure.

[@arthurmonteiro9788]

@@blobzombie Twinferno might be a cheaper replacement for now, but I'm sure there'll be better ones in future expansions

[@thunderryu0494]

@@arthurmonteiro9788 Twinferno is cool but not multicolored for Lilah synergy. Kind of a big deal for this deck... That being said, I could see another UR copy spell card being released as blobzombie posited

[@sundster_1796]

I love your content !!! Would love to see some good old grixis builds from you ;)

[@arthurmonteiro9788]

Mogwai, you have been in a sequence of AMAZING decks. I want to craft it all. They're so creative and fun to play - I haven't seen Taii before and now I'm going for it cause this deck seems so cool. Same for Mycotyrant and Flbpth - I'm digging for rare cards to build these. Thanks for the great content!

[@arthurmonteiro9788]

Update: this one is the first I achieved to craft and I've been having a blast!

[@BBPandora]

These videos are becoming a daily routine along with my morning coffee. Love the content!

[@Ramolos]

What a deck ! It seems so much fun and perfect in the curent aggroish meta game. Can't wait for the next vid ❤

[@djclero6861]

Awesome deck man, so glad to see your content again! Also, I have been trying to make a Judith deck for a while but with no luck. Do you guys think she might work with tai wakeen to gain a bunch of life?

[@Tachii31]

It's so satisfying healing back up after mono-red spend all their resources. Not looking forward to them getting a heal blocker in September.

[@benweber5274]

Love this deck! Been playing with the other lilah standard you played the other day. Lots of fun!

[@antoniorosas6244]

Hello KZbin! Amazing content Mogwai, cool to see you've found your home, really blossoming in the arena. Good you didn't went to Yugioh, stale metas over and over again

[@juaneduardotorresechartea5217]

Keep the good work Mogwai, i recently start playing Magic and now i can enjoy ur videos in a better way... jaja, Greetings from México :D

[@gaialaghi6401]

Will you do a full color deck?? I wouldn’t be able to craft it but it would be very fun to watch 😂😂

[@nota2810]

Yet another upload, he don't miss.

[@gorazdvasiljevic]

18:30 that's Vorinclex, the "green" Praetor. The art is from the card "Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider".

[@IAmebAdger]

It's nice seeing hazard and festivities as main board cards

[@arnusitaon5228]

This is really cool stuff. Off meta but still effective and fun. Needed that 👏🏼

[@turdfurguson553]

HOLY SHIT! I missed the announcement that you were coming back to MtG!! This is how I first found your channel. Hope you’re doing good man ❤

[@luqtiz1]

Fun deck. Holly shit mono red and boros opponents were clueless with their deck piloting.

[@wls87]

Jajaja por fin me decido a jugar Marvel snap y Mogwai decide jugar magic. Me alegra que vuelva a jugar magic. A ver si aprendo a jugar bien

[@ChirusHighwind]

The avatar that you really liked in game 3 is Vorinclex, the green Phyrexian Praetor.

Man, I missed watching that Vivien outro

[@mikebott6940]

I wish you could play a 3 color version of her in Commander. Alas....

[@benweber5274]

What do you plan to replace memory deluge with when it rotates out this fall? I think deduce is a decent option at 1B or farsight ritual esssentially does the same thing if you can bargain.

[@JoaoTakada]

Tai Juaquin op

[@delihogg]

We definitely wanna see a post rotation version of this deck! Im holding onto my wildcards for now 😎

[@PlebCentre]

Make a Wakeen deck like this for explorer, and call it Wakeen Phoenix.

[@CptSaveABro808]

@15:09 if you casted Taai Wakeen before ETF, would you have drawn a card?

[@Jayfire88]

Mog will you record tournament play?

[@ratlash7438]

that was SLICK!

[@juanroaguilo]

Q combos!!! Dioshhhh❤

[@pepito6795]

Let’s goooo!

[@Ferriins]

i love your MTG videos, but could you make a more newbie/cheap to craft deck for those who downloaded the game recently? we would appreciate it!

[@RealHoopa]

He already did 👍

[@Ferriins]

​@@RealHoopaim not talking abaut the beginner video he alredy did, im talking about a video about a deck that is easy to craft

[@popocraft4677]

Have you even watched the beginner video? The whole video is about easy to craft decks

[@breakingthewall2112]

Head shot!

[@MrRevash]

make a sac deck with Rakdos, the Muscle in it!

[@breakingthewall2112]

I really want to craft but the rotation is coming soon and I don't have the Iterations

[@Shinnra]

I miss TF Intro :c

[@ispudy]

Cool deck but shame its not rotation proof for new players like me :(

[@Glonk_Respecter]

“Tap Dat Cat” lmao

[@EggsAreGood55]

Super fun loking deck. Really makes me wish i had the wildcards to just build whatever my mind comes up with as well. Pretty crazy how Pay-to-Win this game feels most of the time.

[@joshd0205]

Mtg not pay to win- if all the best deck needed like 40 mythic wildcards, maybe, but that is not necessary at all. You can craft a full mono red deck within a week of downloading the game and you could easily climb to mythic with that.

[@EggsAreGood55]

@@joshd0205 Yeah you could grind enough to get a mono red deck eventually. But if you spend money you can literally unlock any and every single card that you could want. And when you have all of the best decks possible, you will clearly get to mythic way quicker and easier then someone who does not have every card... Obviously. Therefore you can pay, to win more. Couldn't break it down simpler then that lol.

[@PhyrexianPraetor]

the bog standard term for 1 damage effect in mtg is usually 'pings'

[@aref3777]

Love mog but this deck has too much energy,all my games I'm flooding back to back 7 energy

[@gaialaghi6401]

Communist card back???
