We Try To Beat More Broken Cards You Sent Us With Normal Magic Decks

You sent us more of your custom Magic cards! We put them into a big crazy pile and tried to beat them with a team of three versus one.

[@anentity3606]

When you realize the 3 lands per turn are by far the most op part of the deck. So much card advantage on top of everything. Funny though.

[@Ezullof]

I feel like Carl could just get more HP and a headstart (like starting with 3 free lands) and it would be more entertaining to watch.

[@RoxyGotMoxy.]

@@Ezullof seconded. I think 3 lands turn 1 and then 2 lands per turn but one must be a wastes or something would be fairer.

[@cryptorcd9352]

I had same problem last time they played this format. I guess starting with 3 lands and getting 1 land each turn is fine, or maybe 2 a turn. 3 per turn is a bit too much...

[@reallygoogle5481]

3 lands are a bit much. On the other hand, nobody submits much land, mana, or ramp. Just 3 lands are not enough to play, perhaps 2 per turn, down to 1 when an opponent dies?

[@CardmarketMagic]

This is the second video we make of this series and both times I almost died with the 3 lands per turn. We even had to downshift the decks to pioneer because the 3 lands were not strong enough :P I'm sorry but if we downshift the amount of lands, the video will be 5 minutes long and you'll onky see 3-4 custom cards 😅 we tested it before, I promise you this is the correct amount of land drops per turn :) no need to needlessly nerf the custom deck into having less resources than the pioneer side

I unironically believe that if you built an archenemy deck using only standard legal cards and got 3 mana a turn, you could probably still win 3v1.

Yah I think if you played the domain deck in standard you could probably win

[@binarycat1237]

yeah, the way the game is balanced, a 6 mana spell is usually better than 3 2 mana spells

[@harmonicarchipelgo9351]

The key word is "built". Try doing it with 200 randomly selected cards. The OPness compensates for lack of synergy and balance.

[@osiris201]

@@harmonicarchipelgo9351 The randomness doesn't matter if all of your cards are broken OP individually by design so it doesn't really balance much in this video's format.

@@croppingchair5538 Dubious the arch enemy lands dont have basic land types so their spot removal is not great.

[@justinkopy3354]

10:13 Her laugh is everything

[@ManuelRiccobono]

I would give a suggestion to balance a bit the "land" aspect: Instead of getting 3 lands for free each turn, you should make so you can decide to either draw 1 card for your normal draw or add 3 multi-colored lands to your hand each turn. And, regardless of your choise, you get up to 3 land-drops each turn instead of 1. This way, you get the same number of lands you are getting now, but it feels less "free"

[@CardmarketMagic]

I almost lost every video we have done with three lands 😅 if we moved down to 2, you would have only watched 2-3 custom cards in the video before that side would have gotten pummeled to the ground

[@NiiRubra]

lmao, this was great, Felicia was hilarious in this one, and Jamin forcing Carl to shuffle was arguably a bigger defeat than losing the game. Also I love Samson the Sloth King, that card has to become real. GG!

[@balanceseeker]

Just like the first video of this kind, the difference was not the spells but the broken lands rule. You could run the same game with just normal cards and likely still come out on top. To make it fair(er), let him drop three lands a turn, but he has to draw them. Because as written, he is getting draw four (the spell draw plus three free lands) and three land drops a turn.

[@eausterberry]

Not only that, the fact that they're archenemy lands specifically is what powered the whole engine. The dragon was actually a fairly interesting and possibly balanced mechanic in any situation where you dont get 3 "any color" lands every turn.

[@tciddados]

Honestly, I kinda want to see what would happen in a 1v1 of random custom cards vs a prebuilt high-level deck. They can still include archenemy lands if they want (just 1 per turn), but without the massive ramp they get in this format I feel like even broken stuff like the Lotus (which was half the damage successfully done to Carl) wouldn't be that broken because there's no synergy in the deck like you'd see in a typical tournament-level deck.

[@CardmarketMagic]

The chromatic dragon doesn’t randomly have ward 1… because of the first ability it essentially can’t be targeted unless the opponent has a source that produces mana of any colour.

[@dinklebob1]

I know it's a showmatch, but wow Day's Undoing against TWENTY FIVE MANA? The Narset plan is shot, your only hope is that he absolutely bricks until you can scrape together a single point of damage. Really enjoyed this game down to the nailbiter finish. A bit disappointed that the kill was from an "all mana" restricted creature in a game that dumped all mana lands on the board. I think to balance the mana situation you could have the custom deck get three land drops T1, two T2, and one each subsequent turn. Just conjure 🤢 an untapped dual into your hand any time you want to make a land drop (or play a custom land in the game). Enables landfall and "top of your library" mechanics as well. Seriously, great ep. Thanks for the content!

[@XenithShadow]

So the actually mistake there is if felcias deck has any bolts in it, as she went down to 1 mana before he played days undoing. As shes on a pioneer deck no 1 mana bolts. Days undoing was a winning line if felecia had burn spells and had 2 mana up still

My suggestion for the whole lands debate: During your turn, you may play 1 archenemy land per opponent, in addition to your normal land drop. That way, theres risk and reward fot keeping a player alive.

[@CardmarketMagic]

I don't understand why people are trying to "fix" the land ratio. It's perfect :) each side gets the same amount of lands, but the custom side gets the benefit of using them together to make up for the fact that the cards are worse and don't synergize. Every time we have made these videos, the custom deck almost lost (the only thing that saved it I'm the first video was that crazy questing beast). The sides are perfectly balanced and awkwardly nerfing the custom side would make for much worse content :P
