I love how Tappy portrays Jhoira as an Alcoholic. After so much PTSD, i'm glad she's not torturing others, like that scumbag, Teferi.

[@tappytoeclaws2233]

That's FUNCTIONAL alcoholic to you young man.

It is the best..she kills me with the twinkle in her eye and tone to her voice when she says "Time Water"

[@isaiahwelch8066]

I loved it when she said, "Drink up me hearties, yo ho!" Since I'm Mantis Clan when I play L5R, and the rest of Rokugan considers us pirates, I daresay that I have found myself in good company. 🙂

[@nerd_mor]

Seeing Tappy on a video is always a treat

[@roscode96]

Walking ballista can get around Krosan Grip too if played correctly. Simply wait to cast it until you already have arbitrary mana, cast it for X = some unimaginably high number, then once it resolves hold priority and repeatedly activate its ping ability targeting your opponents, holding priority after each activation rather than letting each one resolve. This way you don't pass priority until the triggers are on the stack, and any Krosan Grips are too late to be effective.

[@Kryptnyt]

​@@GrandpasMagic I think the first player to receive priority is always the active player.

[@nikos731]

Of course I fail to see why the opponent will wait for us to have infinite mana and not just using the Krosan Grip in the scepter in response to its first tap....

[@GamerdevilPro]

@@Kryptnyt This is correct, usually you have to announce that you maintain priority because usually you just shortcut it and pass without saying anything specific in a normal game.

[@sharpshooter9407]

Could you explain how that works? I was thinking that once you get all the pings on the stack, the opponent Grips the Ballista. The Grip goes on top of the stack, and can't be responded to. Thus destroying the Ballista before any of the pings resolve. I could be wrong tho, so I would like a little clarification

[@madsante]

@@sharpshooter9407 destroying the ballista does not prevent the pings from resolving, as the ballista is not a target of those pings.

[@TheMrSlyxx]

This is the first time I've watched a video about a specific deck and actually felt "filled in" about all the details of it, mechanics, etc. Well done.

[@Stryk_Redkite]

Wonderful video! Thank you to everyone involved!

[@ahoyturtle]

The Vorthos in me is rebelling that the deck doesn't actually have the Weatherlight in it. Take out the hockey puck and put in the skyship.

[@sebastiencouleurs5270]

I was googling through the internet during the way too early or way too late hours of the night, searching for an inspiration for a new deck and I happened upon Jhoira and after that I found myself in this video. Now my brain is sizzling and my cart is already filled with 50+ new singles for this deck! So happy! Thanks for this video, a real delightful inspiration! Just sad that the deck just might be too powerful for friendly casual play. :'D

[@DerpyLaron]

That's the deck i am building. Great to see some ideas I didn't have presented by Jhoira herself. Great content as always!

[@jeffjackson8755]

Another fantastic video, from both of you. Thank you for the content, and the chuckles. I've just ordered what I need to put this deck together, and really enjoyed this video!

[@justinanderson2631]

This video was so funny. I made a Kykar Artifact deck based off Jhoira! There's some fun cards you get to add with white as well. Weather it's something janky control like Hokori Dust drinker, ethersworn canonist, and aven mindcensor.. or more white good stuff for that Ischoron scepter. Infinite Mana is preferred but you can also slide in "white good stuff" like path to exile or enlightened tutor to tutor ALL the artifacts/enchantments! Kykar can also supply you with free mana so it could help to "storm off". It's theoretical but I think it's gonna be "a blast". (PS I recommend adding tidespout tyrant with at least 2 "Cheerios" and combo with Jhoira to draw your whole deck!)

[@trentcrofts3831]

This video was amazing. I wish all deck techs could be so engaging! I just discovered Tappy recently and she seems like a true gem.

[@kristengregory7014]

She really is! These types of deck tech are truly engaging and fun. There will be more for sure.

[@prayerisinpiration1]

Awesome! I have to say Professor, your show is awesome! I do more of a pack opening on my show... but your show was a huge influence for me even starting a channel! Thank you so much!

[@Eramiserasmus]

"All Vorthos-related war crimes aside...." Tappy has such a glib way of saying that I'm almost not immediately required to break down that statement as a Vorthos player.

[@lucarioknightb7685]

Sweet deck, cool to see it delivered entirely in character, and the closing skit was fun. Great vid y’all. Miiiight try pulling this together.

[@BlueInkAlchemy]

Tappy's portrayal of Jhoira is canon, and I will hear no argument to the contrary.

[@Vuurgeest]

Cool deck tech, like the acting too, twas a fun ride :) My degenerate side jus keeps thinking we could cut some of the wincons and add some more fas mana to make this deck kill on turn two pretty consistently, I'm thinking Mox Diamond, Manacrypt, Mana Vault, Lotus Petal, Hurkyll's Recall as a mini Paradoxical and maybe even an LED, though you could only crack that safely in response to a PO or Hurkylls. Just doing the math very swiftly in my head here, that's a casual $500 I'm adding to the deck value there, I just happen to own all these cards, I realise most will not want to spend these amounts on single cards for EDH.

[@TamesLovesGames]

This is a great deck tech, but I would like to point out that the linked decklist is 101 cards.

I have this deck and I love it almost as much as my friends hate it! My list is a little different. I run horrible things like Winter Orb, Rising Tide, Mana Breach, Impending Disaster, Thoughts of Ruin, and Ward of Bones. Social contract be damned! But, how better to protect Jhoira then to insure no one else casts anything while you're casting everything? It's so mean! I don't have the heart to play it... unless I've been archenemied to death in a few previous games and I feel like winning no matter who groans and rolls their eyes. I know, I know; I'm a monster!

[@Alice_Haukea]

I really like this. In DnD I play an Artificer, and ultimately I just enjoy the theme to "artifacts" in general. As a long term investment concept, what would be some of the cards to upgrade in this list long term? I assume putting in a Mana Crypt would be one. But otherwise.... what else?
