​@@hebercluff1665the timing of making plays right at the end of the rope implies deliberate stalling imo. This player was mad as fuck that they couldn't win on turn 3, so they stole a half hour from cgb.

23 lands is torture :) so much mana can be sunk into the classes, the parragon even carrot cake is a kinda 4 drop I would consider going for 27 lands to secure a starting hand with 3 lands

[@afeather123]

He does have the 4 copies of Clay Fired Bricks so he essentially has 27 lands.

[@jackattackhissnack]

True but the tempo hit is so hard that it's hard to equate that to playing removal and a land on 2.

[@yavivanov6650]

​@@afeather123 that's wrong way yo think Imo. If you have 2 lands and 20 spells that search for a land, do you have 22 lands?

[@afeather123]

@@yavivanov6650 I understand what you are getting at, but your example is too extreme to really matter. Sometimes you will be forced to play the land searcher instead of another card you wanted to play because you need to go get a land. But there is definitely a middle ground, playing land searchers certainly means you can play less lands, and the cheaper the land searcher the more it counts as "land".

33:23 if you want to make sure you hit lands, isnt carrot cake the move? You get to dig 2 for a land without thinning the deck of them. Perhaps there is a specific 3 drop in the deck he wanted to be able to curve into?

[@theodoremurdock9984]

Can’t you order the triggers from builder’s talent/carrot cake such that you get to place the counter on the rabbit? I think you have to turn on manual trigger ordering in the options, but they’re simultaneous ETB triggers, so correct ordering should mean you get the counter.

[@arjunheart5859]

The builder's talent trigger requires a target to even get put on the stack. So, if you play cake on an empty board (on your side), the builder's talent will see no creatures it can target for the counter. Then the cake triggers and makes a rabbit.

[@TheCeruleanSentinel]

I have a similar deck to this in paper Magic. I utilize the phyrexian land The Mycosynth Gardens (spelling??) where I can pay 2 and copy one of the Clay Fired Bricks. Even if it's transformed, you can pay 2 and get the "Creatures get +1 +1" benefit from it which catches people off guard and buffs creatures in a very different way. It's a cool little interaction.

[@theflood24]

This deck is so much fun to play. There are some bad matchups but it’s so much fun to toy with your food when it comes to mono red.

builder's talent has been way better than expected for me. Should try it with kaya intangible slayer. I usually discard it to bitter triumph or liliana, then reanimate it with builder's talent. Plus kaya goes semi infinite with caretaker's talent if you turn it into a token creature. then you can use level 2 to copy itself, then can level 2 as much as you have white mana :D

Hey! First time comment here. I've watched you since at least 4 years now. This year I got to Mythic for the first time playing an Orzhov Midrange personal brew with Zoraline and many 3 cost value stuff. That said, I started this 31st with the new rank not being able to win even 1 match. Is there any hope to Zoraline in combination with Caretaker's Talent or some other combination? I'm getting my ass handed by Boros Tokens, Discard and Rabbits. I'd appreciate the help to build something around my favourite bat. Anyway, thank you for the great content as always!

and i can't help but feel that they are favoured. they get the cards they need, they don't draw dead to mana. they always go first. it is so infuriating. five cost sweepers are not good enough. make it make sense WotC.

[@DJKokaKola]

It's because of the algorithm. It tries to guarantee 2-3 land hands, so aggro decks are inherently benefitted by it trying to give you better openers. Add to that mono red being cheap (low rares), mono coloured (low rare lands), and fast (easier climb) and it's not a surprise. I just hate that they keep releasing bullshit like cacophony and hearthseeker, because it's a "fucked if you block, fucked if you don't" if you're not specifically running and drawing exile cards.

[@kunimitsune177]

[@OdinMagnus]

2:09 why do people like Get Lost over Stroke of Midnight? Same cost except Stroke gets rid of any non-land, and gives them a 1/1 and Get Lost only works on 3 types and gives them maps. I think the maps might be a bit stronger than a 1/1, but a creature is still a creature. But the versatility of any non-land is better than only creature, enchantment or planeswalker. Especially seeing people losing to the Forge so often lately. Edit: sorry, forgot Stroke is 3 mana. I usually compare it to Generous Gift
