Yuriko, let’s go! I was that guy that won a tourney last month. Agreed the new Kaito is great. I think the reason we don’t play Top and Scroll Rack anymore is because of our greedy manabases. I am only on 27 lands plus a few MDFCs. Swapping out Scroll Rack or Top for 2 additional Stax or Control pieces will often buy us time to push through to the late game. I will usually mulligan aggressively against turbo decks like Rogue/Si or combo. Every other deck in the format is a pretty even match for us in my opinion.

Yeah what the host on the left side fails to mention is that Yuriko is still basically a 2 color Tymna who's gonna pressure your life total and cheat on commander tax. Doesn't that count for anything? That is plenty of reason to consider being less colors, and you get to keep the two best ones.

I agree. It's way better for yuriko decks to be on Nullrod than scroll rack and top.

I was playing the air trumpet army eulogy before I saw your ranking for Niv Mizzet Parun lol. I have been a niv pilot for years, and 2 days after the bans and play testing, I took it apart and turned it into Stella Lee. The mana pips are just too intensive to get Niv out early for any explosive wins that Stella or krark/sakashima can achieve like 2 turns earlier and more consistently.

I completely agree with Cal's take on Yuriko. There are 4 Yuriko players at my LGS and I'm just not ever seen it do much besides dwindle away at life totals and then lose.

47:42 worth noting that Malcolm + glinthorn combo works through Orcish Bowmasters because of the way Glinthorn’s abilities are split up, you’re able to keep activating on top of each bowmaster trigger to go off again. Also I’m glad you mentioned blood moons in Malcolm Kediss because I think they’re criminally underplayed in that deck.
@morsdraconisКүн бұрын
Poor Niv.Sad my baby is so dead we're playing bad cards like Geode Golem and Lotus Bloom tech with Goblin Engineer/Welder/Whir of Invention to get Niv into play by turn 4 on average. It's a more consistent deck, but WAY less explosive compared to Jeweled Lotus and Dockside being unbanned. Maybe I can hire Ian to make a working model of the deck.

I'm a Talion main and I've strayed from the "traditional" path. Turned it into a more Aggro deck, to accelerate the clock on my opponents life points. And I only interact to stop a player, I let everyone play out, and they eventually kill themselves through life loss and my Combat Damage.

What is the correct way to build Shorkai?
@bensawmiller3005Күн бұрын
I have had success building it as control, i commented a whole essay about it, but you want to put yourself in a position where you are just out valuing the table. Play all the manifold key effects, which work great with shorikai and of course the one ring, play all the rhustics mystics, and sentiels, maybe unwinding clocks. You want to set up a position where you are just able to sit on tons of card draw, maybe stax the game down with avens, cursed totems, grafdiggers, dranniths, etc., and just grind better than everyone else while interacting

Honestly the reason I continue to play K’rrik even though I have access to 99% of the meta in foil and or foreign foil is exactly said in this video. Like you guys are shitting on it (and thanks for the shoutout) but I can post good numbers on it, like sure I play RogSi, I can play TnK, I can pick up TnT, but winning on K’rrik vs any of those decks just feels way more sweeter because K’rrik is absolute trash tier. I just can combine my table talk, meta deck building choices, and know my windows… plus I want to use my Russian foils of stupid black K’rrik staples lol.

I have mixed feelings on the Shorikai takes. i for sure agree that humility gets too much emphasis, i think people see a non creature commander and instinctively go to humility, which on a base level i understand. Where I disagree is with calling it not a control deck; as Ian said, Shorikai is great at winning the game eventually, it can set up these layered engines that end up digging you like 8-12 cards deep in a turn cycle, all while being able to hold up interaction, and kind of just sit on these draw engines for many turns. Synergies with the keys, maybe unwinding clocks, and then most notably all the nutty draw engines in UW, i think the optimal way to play it is to just be the one getting more advantage than everyone else, combined with some stax pieces and tons if interaction. But don’t play humility

I feel like that is almost more akin to like Lantern Control which like. Technically is a control deck, but I feel like that is fundamentally different than traditional control. Or the third option is I have just been arguing semantics (which is likely 😂)
@bensawmiller3005Күн бұрын
@@TheMindSculptorslantern control is a pretty perfect comparison and i wake up every morning and miss that deck in modern. i think you’re so fair to say Shorikai plays differently from the Talions and the Tivits in that it doesnt do the classic control plan, it just sort of plats very well into longer games perhaps
