Now we need a new google spreadsheet with sideboarding tech for new monogreen :)

Love the thoughts as you play through your turns. Narration is what a lot of MTG videos lack, and this was great. Thanks!

[@bobbyfortanely]

I’m glad you love it. I’m trying to make the style of video that I want to watch more from others.

[@mobius32]

great commentary and explanations for your choices. you got a new subscriber

[@victorfreidinger]

Hello Bobby. Thanks for your video. I won CCGQ( Store: Mont City: Campinas/Brazil) last weekend using 74/75 from this video. Traded just 1 Tail Swipe for 1 T Rex making 3-0-2 (3-0, ID, ID), and won all top8 games. Thanks for your video!

[@bobbyfortanely]

Amazing result! Congrats!

[@ok231]

The green videos are awesome thank you so much.

[@BryanLawhorn]

Literally checked yesterday for more of your content, playing green this weekend

[@bobbyfortanely]

Good luck this weekend!

[@Joshuralize]

One of my favorite things about Leyline is it enables 1 landers with elves/nykthos/Leyline to function because it lets your nykthos cast the elf or Oath.

[@AWildGrickit]

I like Baloths and Tail Swipes against red.

[@khirosSS]

Been looking forward to this!

[@Bymeoryou]

Always my favorite mtg content creator!

[@njlopezfa6514]

Been thinking about buying into green or not for the rest of the season think this video is a sign 😂

[@Joshuralize]

It's relatively cheap all things considered, just be prepared for absolute suffering against amalia lol

[@luisluks5774]

The one card that is truly great against Amalia is Grafdigger's Cage, don't know if this deck can run it because of how it affects Storm the Festival, but that is one card that I would look to try against that deck.

[@bobbyfortanely]

I had been thinking about trying that as well. Maybe I’d shave some Storm the Festivals when sideboarding for Storms.

[@warsfiel1]

Love your content, great video and congrats on the results! In the interest of the learning experience, @1:19:41 your turn 5, wasn't this a missed lethal? You have access to plenty of mana, you can flip the Ulvenwald, give the team haste and swing for 34 damage, with OP tapped out. Instead you end up giving the OP a land from the Boseiju on the Legion Extruder line which open up their out of Shrapnel Blast killing the Ulvenwald during activation; though you have the mana to double activate anyways.

[@bobbyfortanely]

I’m glad you like the content 😊! In this spot, we’re in my post combat main phase. I was out of spells to cast in main phase 1, and I drew the Ulvenwald Oddity by attacking the Invasion of Ixalan with my Outcaster Trailblazer (which drew 2 cards).

[@warsfiel1]

@@bobbyfortanely Derp. I knew I was missing something; I shouldn't try and watch two videos at once :P

[@khirosSS]

Do you think this version of the deck is harder, easier or similar in difficulty level piloting to the old Karn version?

[@bobbyfortanely]

Probably easier than the Karn version, mostly because Karn was a 16-way modal spell, although the current build has tougher sideboarding choices. Comboing with the old version was unintuitive, but was a teachable skill.

[@mariosalurso]

Nice trophy! Have you already tested flipped polukranos over ostinate baloth? Should be easier to flip, with white mana from trailblazer or guildpact, and can come one turn earlier over the baloth saving more than 4 life probably if casted on curve (obv poly is worse against monoB and exction event) And all minor upside (like discounting boseiju, or makes lair of hydras token generator)

[@bobbyfortanely]

That’s a fair point: being a mana cheaper might be worth 4+ life. I’ll consult with my green-playing peers. I have noticed that 4-drops are slightly better in a Leyline world, since Leyline + Nykthos can cast a 4-drop on turn 3 even if all your elves get answered on turns 1 and 2.

[@FFHavoK]

Any chance of an updated sideboard guide in the future? 💚

[@idoljen]

Where is this Mono Green Community and Can I join?

[@bobbyfortanely]

@@idoljen The peers I’m referring to in the intro are 3 longtime collaborators. The most apropos resource that I can recommend that’s publicly available is a Mono Green Devotion discord. The link I found on Reddit is discord.gg/BVfeG98Mej

[@peech4845]

Love your CONTENT, erasy Subscribr for me. One question. Round 4 second game. You have leyline, 2 forests, and just played a Nykthos. It should be 4 mana, but you had 5 and were able to pay for the spell pierce. What am I missing ?? (This occured at 1:13:59).

[@I_LOVE_AZORIUS]

Invasion of Ixalan provides 1 devotion

[@bobbyfortanely]

⁠Yes, as @@I_LOVE_AZORIUS​⁠​⁠ described, Invasion of Ixalan (represented on my opponent’s side) gives 1 devotion. The layout on MTGO makes this difficult to notice. This also easy to miscount in the Green mirror, when your invasions are on their side and their invasions are on your side.

[@peech4845]

Hey Bobby! I was playing this deck on Area, there is no access to Oath of Nissa. I ran a Goldvein Hydra instead and it won me at least 2 games. Is this something I should be considering? I was thinking running one in the main and 1 in board (I dont own an Emerakul). I would love to know what you think.

[@bobbyfortanely]

The 1 Oath of Nissa is very replaceable. Right now I’m testing a basic Forest in its spot, and also main deck Skysovereign or main deck Cityscape Leveler. The Emrakul in the sideboard is also not super important and also $80 in paper. Running a 1/1 split of Goldvein Hydra sounds fine to me. That card hits hard, and your opponent will loathe pointing a removal spell at it.

[@peech4845]

@@bobbyfortanely You think the Hydra should come out of the board, inn the Emerakul spot?

[@peech4845]

@@bobbyfortanely And what are you taking out of the baord for the MD Leveler? I LOVE the thought of it in the main.
