This SURPRISE MTG Standard Deck Just Hit MYTHIC RANK 1

[@MTGJoe]

Sorry for the weird bug at the beginning on Match 1, the client locked but everything else was working. In any case, what are your thoughts on this deck - legit deck or just flavor of the week?

[@CRIPPLINGSODIUMADDICT]

Yoooo i was the gruul aggro player! GG man!

[@MTGJoe]

GG! You can see i was roping to start Arena decided it wanted to freeze. Those snakeskin veils were the game breaker

It looks like at least 3 streamers been playing this style in 2024. Hellraiser dragon infinite loops with ability combo triggers, which has been around before Bloomburrow, but Season of Weaving adds more potential.

[@MTGJoe]

Deck has been around for a bit showing up here and there in stats but this variant seems to have put up the highest win rate/success. Cool to see how it’s evolved over time

[@connectingthepieces4845]

Man. Wish I had enough to craft this really bad. It looks fun. Need 5 mystics and 11 rares from mainly lands. Time to grind until I get enough.

[@MTGJoe]

Ya it’s pretty wild card dense. There was a slightly updated version in the weekly standard metagame video I put out a couple days ago if you want to reference

[@connectingthepieces4845]

@MTGJoe yes sir, that's the one I'm using as reference.

[@ericwittorff4062]

That was a long one today but it was good, ready for the next.

[@MTGJoe]

Appreciate you!

[@whirlyboi8524]

I face that guy often, really cool deck and solid fast player

[@TheYuri46]

Saw a match of you and CGB on his channel, although you lost you played soo good against basically all removal deck

[@MTGJoe]

Thanks will have to check it out. Kept drawing cut downs and he just overwhelmed me with removal that was more flexible. Caretaker drawing a million cards breaks the midrange battle

[@calebmills6051]

@@MTGJoeyeah not much you could do the only thing I would’ve done differently was not fight so hard for Liliana when she wasn’t doing you any good anymore. He had plenty of lands to discard so you were just hurting yourself with the discard ability

[@PositiveAttitudee]

Nithin has even a KZbin channel:)

[@MTGJoe]

thanks for letting me know, will include the channel detail in the video description.

[@InfiltratorSF]

Deck feels a bit casino-y, wouldn't you agree?

[@MTGJoe]

There is some degree of variance to it but on the flip side you loot a lot to find key cards. I think I was playing it wrong by filling my yard with too many lands.

[@Akoustikus]

I was trying to listen along while working on other things, but your commentary style makes it difficult to follow without watching perfectly attentively. Idk if you would consider at least saying the name of the card rather than "scry this to the top" or "lets play that" etc, but i would definitely appreciate it fwiw

[@MTGJoe]

Thanks for the feedback, that is something easy to adopt into my commentary. Will be mindful going forward
