The fact that you didn't spell "steal" as "steel" is a fail

[@notbritish6867]

Clicked on the video to specifically post this comment. Lol I’m glad I’m not alone.

[@yarrrthekraken]

Failure. Fail is a verb. Failure is a noun.

[@ZeroIsEven]

What are you, the Steel Overseer or something?

You had the win in that first game: animate nexus with itself to make it an artifact, attack for 6 with the ornithopter, then sack the gingerbrute for food to gain 3, pay 3 life to lightning bolt (2 for eidolon, 1 for mana confluence) for a total of 9 damage.

[@syrelian]

"It should have only costed me one, putting me down to three" You were already at 3, it did only cost 1, thats why you didn't use Myr Enforcer earlier cause you woulda died

[@garrisontd]

We finally did it! We broke affinity! They said it couldn’t be done! Seriously though, affinity is one of my favorite archetypes.

[@Netro1992]

Mirrodin block era affinity will forever have a spot in my heart

[@Shaido666]

Had lethal in last turn of game 1: animate blinkmoth, attack for 6 with ornithopter, sac gingerbrute for 3 life, use manaconfluence to cast bolt losing 3 to confluence + eidelon and doing exact lethat to opponent.

[@dcluvspie5777]

You were at 3 and mana confluence brought you to 2

[@Malik1378]

The longer vids recently are appreciated 🎉

[@stonerainproductions]

While watching a stream with Saffron, we watched your band Finish Ticket from late night TV. You're very talented Crim, i hope you're still pursuing music! Awesome video as usual!

[@Optimator7]

I think you should do a wrap-up. Doesn't have to be long

[@MrCrisTheRo]

Takes me back to the days of Arcbound Ravager, Disciple of the Vault, and Goblin Sharpshooter.

[@SpitefulAZ]

goblin sharpshooter in original affinity? o.0

[@shaneculbertson4055]

That's a good magic assessment "im afraid of the auto tapper.

[@Discarabsnation3187y]

I usually love the crim decks but I’m ngl this one seemed kind of weird and without much vision ngl. It definitely seemed to suffer from its mana base and the Myr enforcers honestly need to be cut 😂

[@YouTubeChonce]

Why scoop to fatal push targeting overseer?

[@haggleboggle]

Does this deck get much other than bolt?

[@lech.dutkiewicz]

Great video. After seeing these games, my first thought is that the non-artifact spells density is too high. This list isn't consistent in casting all spells from your hand on turn 3. I guess this list needs springleaf drums really bad. With no drum counterspells seem clunky, since you can't tap out. I guess, with all the shrapnels and enchantments, the first take would be to cut rebukes for drums and try to add more grid monitors to improve consistency and speed. If you switch all that glitters for ensoul artifacts, you can also run a simpler manabase that would be less painful. Maybe even add some artifact lands (I don't know if they're legal on arena though). Great video anyway, keep up the good work!

[@matushorvath]

Were dark stealing games Dark steeling Get it, Coral? :D

[@MrJoberg]

This deck has a brutal mana base. Like ping you whenever you cast anything.

[@asducommentaire7475]

3:00 you lost only 1

[@Aerix]

Tezzy agent of bolas fall out of favor for affinity or just not in timeless?

[@rockstaa13]

Not in timeless unforunately

[@madddawgg2]

the one ring just is so many cards it makes it not seem like magic any more. the shelly+tor synergy is frankly boring. loved this deck though. i want to build it for sure.

[@odogz1081]

whats the background music

[@thunderspinjitzu]

Replying so that I get a notification when this gets replied to.

[@MarcusFar]

Tbh I don't really see the point of this deck every card except 3 copies of bolt is historic legal and affinity isn't even good there

[@grubgobbler3917]

Why only one Enforcer?

[@blackiscolor7732]

hardened scales with agathas seems better

[@robthehood1765]

Uhhh Crim... this is a historic deck + lightning bolts and blinkmoth... I get ya gotta be on the Timeless bandwagon, but... could ya use more timeless cards?

[@cz19856]

Steel* how could you miss such an easy pun

[@TerminallyNerdy]

These videos are....CRIMinal ;)

[@Lucat27]

We’re all just ignoring that he’s playing affinity and doesn’t have mishra’s bauble in the deck? Ok.

[@ODIRGO]

Auto tapper makes you pay as much life as possible, instead of producing colorless mana with your lands or taping other lands. You gotta tap manually if you don't want to get screwed by the auto tapper.

[@inquisitr1892]

Steel overseer is a terrible card in this deck. It just doesn't do enough.

[@mattm7798]

Why does no one play affinity in timeless...oh right, bowmasters, the card wotc is fine with keep x/1s that aren't names ragavan or DRC from being playable.

[@CenJohan]

I don't understand what Crim means when he says "old modern affinity". His deck has cards with affinity, old modern affinity didn't do that. Affinity playing affinity? Crazy talk.

[@jogliara]

This is not rogues, please fix it

[@marsrocks247]

I might consider playing Arena again if the natural order deck is banned out of existence. Restrict field of the dead in timeless already it is so obviously broken and format warping. There is nothing redeemable about that deck or its play patterns. WotC should know better.
