Zombie Disco vs Merfolk Control | Lord of the Jank, Round 3 | OS Budget MTG 93/94 | 272

MTG Phil is bringing his Merfolk Control deck to the channel in the third round of Lord of the Jank, the old school MTG budget tourney. Will the control strategy do well against my Zombie Disco deck that wants to blow everything up and create as many swamps as possible? This MTG match-up is definitely a first for the channel.

What is Lord of the Jank? Lord of the Jank is a budget Old School tournament. Each wizard brews a deck on a budget of $200 with cards from the sets released in 1993 and 1994 with the exception of Fallen Empires. Re-prints are allowed as long as it is same art and same frame. For pricing, we used MCM low and looked at the cheapest re-print version of a card that has the same art and frame. For example, if a player includes a copy of the Erhnam Djinn, we look at the price of an Erhnam Djinn from Chronicles in Poor condition. The current lowest price on this is 0,02 ct on MCM.

I always look forward to a Friday morning old school match from Timmy! I also love your zombie deck. It looks fun

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Thanks Todd 🙌

[@pekim4257]

Great video!!! I love this game!!!! Even though it is being fast forwarded you can see when you noticed the nightmare. 🤦‍♂️ Keep up the fabulous content and thank you!!!

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Thanks for the positive vibes Pekim 👯‍♀️

I’m absolutely loving these videos and this tournament. It’s such a good idea. I never thought I’d see someone get beat down by Scathe Zombies in 20 freakin’ 20! Haha. I was thinking your zombie deck looks worse on paper but it keeps winning! So cool seeing all these old cards, some I’d forgotten about. Can’t remember the last time I’ve seen someone use Spell Blast, and so effectively. Back in the day I much preferred Power Sink but I can definitely see how the hard counter ability of Spell Blast can be more effective, especially late in long games like these. And that Tropical Twister deck from yesterday was so cool! 5 star review! Thank you for doing this.

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Thanks Nate 🙌 Just love casting a Scathe Zombies. In general, I think vanilla creatures have something appealing. I don't know what it is, maybe the simplicity. The fact that the design is more focused on the creature itself instead of the abilities.

[@lordrainkm]

Nightmare for the win! My first ever starter deck (back in the revised days) had a nightmare in it. Still one of the best pieces of art in the game.

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

That's the scenario you're hoping for when you put a single Nightmare in the deck 🤘

[@NateLinehan666]

I think he could’ve pumped one factory twice and blocked the bog wraith. Tapping them to pump up another one doesn’t activate them so they wouldn’t be targetable by the Royal Assassin. I’m really glad you guys figured out the Nightmare thing, though. You could’ve reanimated earlier.

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

We were def a bit side tracked in this match 😂

[@deeterful]

You haven't truly played old style Magic until you've seen a Nightmare killed with Magical Hack.

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Now that would be one sweet move!!

[@OldJRMozer]

Whoa, BOLD

[@joeb1522]

I've never even thought to do that. Nice!

[@mightyfp]

one of the most counter-intuitive rules is that when you copy an animated factory, the copy comes in as an in-animate land... that seem right to you?

[@NateLinehan666]

Yeah, that seems weird to me too. I thought the disk would’ve killed them but no, they were lands.

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Def, every time it happens I want to check the rules again 🤓

[@Milkybetrayal]

That is a very interesting use of clone on the factory. I wonder what other lands that can work on?

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

As long as its a land that you can turn into a creature, you can clone it. For example, you can cast a living plane and make all your lands creatures and then play clone to clone any land on the battlefield. 👍

[@Mirrodin82]

Yo man, it's not "Bog Wrath" , it's "Bog Wraith" - sorry for being grammar nazi :D

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Thnx 🍻

[@davidsupervagabond3505]

The type of the zombie master is "lord" and not "zombie" so in my opinion, he cannot regenerate 🙄 No ?!

[@TimmytheSorcerer]

Many creature types have been updated. You can find the updated creature types and rules text on the gatherer’s website, gatherer.wizards.com/pages/card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=202440
