💩 You Just Had To Touch The Deck, Didn't You? 💩 - ⚫🔴 - Rakdos Vampires - (Explorer)

Jim, I see your shirt and I think - we need new show so we can get a boppin’ new theme song. (I miss the Mogg Monday song 😭😭)

[@MainTopmastStaysail]

The Amalia explores finding Aetherflux Reservoir and the lands to cast it is such a cool angle.

[@DarklordZagarna]

You need the "Send it in, Jerome!" sound effect! (Particularly appropriate at this time of year.)

[@Kal1voda]

Loving the explorer content, thx Jim

[@jamesinifiniz]

Great video! Love hearing your thought process

[@anannoyedpanda]

Love and supporting the content! 💪

[@ELDevaux]

In the first matchup I think Grafdigger's cage is a good board in, Jim

[@badgersauce]

The auto-concede rate has to be less than 1%. Unless the salt levels about T3 Ripper are higher than I thought

[@TryhardSnake]

The auto concedes after the ripper hits the table definitely are higher than that. More often than not, I don’t think it’s salt levels. Some decks and or hands are just not able to deal with it fast enough especially if they’re not equipped to pay the ward cost. But, the concede before the Sorin trigger resolves is definitely lower than 1%. It’s not some drawn out combo that takes for ever to determine if you’re dead or not, it’s a quick “here it is” or not.

Jim! Jim! Play one copy of push pull! It gets them everytime.

[@aR0ttenBANANA]

I came back after stopping with OG Eldraine and I see the random crashes that don’t affect your results are still going strong 😂

[@jeremyphillips6485]

I actually cant stand archfiend, i feel like it was originally just a concession to being bigger then lightning axe, but what happens when all black based decks start packin heartless act again to get free Ws off it. I tested it a lil but then decided not to run it + run 2 heartless act somewhere in the 75 was a good call.

[@evansokolov5023]

Deck looks sickkk

[@MirrorAshes]

I tried to love Archfiend in standard dimir recently but the nonzero number of games I dropped to it was just not fun

[@JohanShogun]

Sometimes with changes like these to deck lists they don’t necessarily seem better, just easier to play

[@IntenseFarmer]

Jim you da man!

[@lrussell2520]

How do we feel about dropping Archfiend and adding Bloodletter of Aclozotz as the 4 drop?

[@aaronlutz5560]

I’m not sure Archfiend is worth it, but maybe after I watch it will be!

[@TheChzoronzon]

I like a lot one copy of Vito, doubles the Ripper triggers and it's usually insta-win. Archfiend isn't synergistic enough, imho

[@slyghostchips4905]

I think both matchups against amalia combo and mono green devotion, bringing in grafdiggers as a silver bullet against Collected company/chord of calling/storm the festival was missed

[@ericklinhares9551]

​​@@The_Dutch_Yetigrafdigger's does stop creatures coming from the deck. Read the card

[@MainTopmastStaysail]

It's not a silver bullet if you can't tutor for it. It's just regular sideboard hate.

[@slyghostchips4905]

@@MainTopmastStaysail silver bullet doesn't mean tutorable. It means single shot one off cards

i just don't like the archfiend in this list

im not super familiar with the amalia deck but game one why couldnt we just let them wrath and then kill it after?

[@canadabiss]

they just surveil return to the ranks to the top and do it again

[@bki9840]

[@samuelbeal101]

I hate Amalia combo for the matchup

[@aleckgardner6845]

What happens on Arena if you do the trick of pumping the Ameila so it skips over being 20 power?

[@joshuagriffith9191]

It results in a draw. The explore is not an optional trigger so it goes on infinitely if there is nothing to break the combo and Arena will register as a draw eventually.

[@aleckgardner6845]

@@joshuagriffith9191 ahhh okay, I knew that's how it works on paper but wasn't sure arena had that built in haha
