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.

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.

I think this would be a lot better if archenemy can still "conjure" 3 lands a turn and the opposition can "conjure" 1 land a turn meaning they can have some creative control in deck building and make a deck out of existing MTG cards against the custom broken cards.

[@robuin10]

We need to appreciate the thumbnails that card market has been doing lately. They’ve been steeping up their game and it’s amazing

[@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

[@pepepepedrinho]

Felicia's laugh is so delightful to hear.

[@floriankaeder]

You guys harmonize so well together I bet "work" is quite fun around there ^^

[@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]

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

he went to 1 life and almost lost. if you made him spend like 15 drawn cards on lands do you really think it would have been a more ''fair'' match?

To help Balance the 3 land a turn aspect. Here are a few options. 1 prismatic Land and 2 Waste lands. 2 land per turn. Another option would be to change the Prismatic land with some sort of Draw back. Enter the Battlefield tapped unless you pay 2 life. Prismatic land has all land types. (For card that care about land type, or more Loci) Or (T): add {C} to your pool. (T): add one mana to your mana pool. Prismatic land, deal 1 damage to you. Prismatic land has all land types. (For card that care about land type, or more Loci) It would be cool to see the 4 player build commander deck with that pile. You just have to use real lands and the commander has to be a fan submitted Legendary creature and 40 to 50 fan cards.

[@CardmarketMagic]

There is no land aspect that needs balancing 😅 if you watched either video, the custom deck almost lost each time. We even had to downgrade from 3 modern decks to 3 pioneer decks because the 3 lands were not strong enough. If we had less than 3 Prismatic lands per turn, then you would barely see any custom cards before the deck would get crushed :P no need to awkwardly nerf the custom deck, its cards are already weaker and less synergistic ;)

[@NoPodcastsHere]

Blizzard soultwister is cool, it needs a dash for the ward cost and it needs to be phrased so it isnt 'you can't ever attack' in a 1v1 format.
