Pro Tour-San Diego 2010 Deck Tech: Mythic with Zvi Mowshowitz

[FuckingFuckersFuck]

Wow he is excited

[gigdycow72]

damn, when at his sidedeck, you can see his hand gestures have an epelepsy

[anarchist884]

That deck is obscene.

He has the nerdiest, 13 yr old boy's voice just-about-to-breakiest laugh! lol

[nic1357]

stupid deck and proof that in some cases Magic= pay to win.

[jess98765433]

Damn! He is 31? ROFL He has to be a virgin.

[gameguru42392]

@jess98765433 alot of pro magic players are married. so much for that =/

[Dmuthaninja]

in 01 this guy was HUGE! Literally...

[academicace]

Here's a better question: How did Zvi's deck deal with Jund? The way I see it, Jund just sided in something like Deathmark, and won with card advantage. I think Mythic had the advantage against Jund during Game 1, but that board doesn't help much for Games 2 and 3, as far as I can tell.

[Theiammadmad]

knight of reliquery was so NOT the best card in standard back at that pro tour.

[purklefluff]

@slanderousndgs dude go and read a basic physics textbook. honestly people like you are either gullible or stupid or both. or maybe you're just a useless spambot. *shrug* either way you're a waste of space. lol.

[UnseenPros]

someones sure is greasy!

[Sunwellplateau]

some1 can say me wich sleevs Zvi uses in this video?

[ThingThongThaisanDi]

@Sunwellplateau something like Dragon Shield

[Sunwellplateau]

@ThingThongThaisanDi ok thx m8 :)

[ThingThongThaisanDi]

@Sunwellplateau np m8 :)

[Torradinho]

ho thinks they are both gay'ish?! xD

[manggangbang]

Definately overpowered deck with the manland addition, but damn i have to turn down the volume to almost nothing, because his voice is so high-pitched and annoying xD

[zkfuzzy1]

amazing deck i want to make it

[chaoss6666]

strong deck, but I think he has no other hobbies

[opti95]

i understand playing it with freinds for fun but i dont get why its telivised i mean, it makes it kinda gay

[PROxFESSxIONAL]

@opti95 its televised because they are major events and have high dollar pay outs. So i guess making money doing something you like is gay.

[opti95]

@PROxFESSxIONAL, well that's the acception. at least in my opinion.

[PROxFESSxIONAL]

@opti95 Well i guess it's a good thing your opinion doesn't mean anything then right?

[opti95]

@PROxFESSxIONAL you seem like a nice guy

[opti95]

@PROxFESSxIONAL i hope you understand that theres more to life than correcting some idiots comments.

[PROxFESSxIONAL]

@opti95 I never corrected any idiots comments. But if you would like me to i will. Its exception not acception.

[opti95]

shhhhhhhhhhh, thats enough, its ok to let things go.

[pandasourus1]

this deck is 623 dollers without sideboard



[jojoypogi]

INSANELY STRONG DECK!!! 0_0

[Davaeorn]

They are still affected by summoning sickness, though, and as such cannot attack. You can defend with them, if you want.

[bonereaperkimimaro]

Im new to the game of magic and am learning the rules my friend who has played for a while said while we were playing that you couldn't turn lands like celestial colonnade into creatures during your opponents turn though Im not sure if this is true because stirring wildwood has reach when it turns into a creature for the turn. I was wondering if anybody had an answer to this?

[roboctocon]

@bonereaperkimimaro

activated mana abilities on cards are one of the fastest things you can do. man lands can certainly turn into creatures on your opponents turn.

[bonereaperkimimaro]

@roboctocon Thanks a lot for the answer

[fucyu2003]

actually finest hour stacks because if you read exalted it says whenever a creature attacks alone, and since you can attack twice with one creature alone, if you wanted to, you get the +1+1 from exalted twice

[643218]

@fucyu2003 and the +1 attackphase stuff triggers twice.

[klautaker]

i hate that  inglish acent!

[9Asabov3SoBelow6]

Lol this guy is such a nerd I luv how he like nerd whimpers when the announcer suggest his deck could take pro tour san diego in 9:21 *nerd whimper ftw

[ZeroMalarki]

I hate baneslayer angel, it's far so unbalanced.

[padbox]

"I knew baneslayer angel was going in because it's rediculous"

"it's baneslayer angel ya"

Baneslayer angel, don't question that jank

[killgore333333]

@padbox

i question it i think its too damn hyped its a good card but not the best card in the format like its being hyped

[moshfeta]

and who runs a deck that loses to control?

[AriusDural]

very bad sound.

[lukejf01]

Eldrazi Green does have creature removal in the form of Master of the Wild Hunt's second ability. Target Admonition Angel with 3 wolves, win the game.

[SalchichaPolaca]

Zvi FTW!!!

[lcplTeufelhund]

the deck is called mythic for a reason

[ratchet1215]

Holy shit, 46 main-deck rares? The deck and sideboard probably cost more than a month of food for him...8 fetchers, 4 Baneslayer, 2 Mind Sculptor...woof. But that's just how the pros roll!

[loganINTJ]

@ratchet1215 Haha, Zvi's famous decks seem to always have an over-exuberant amount of rares. For classic examples check out the Dream Halls or Tolarian Academy decks.

[Nottybastard]

@ratchet1215 his sideboard is the reason he's so skinny.

[JadeDragon007]

the guy on the left looks like a brown nosing douche bag

[XlxSeVeRitYxlX]

BANT and JUND are the 2 best decks right now

[theoweb20]

uw control > bant

[ratchet1215]

@XlxSeVeRitYxlX Bant's pretty lacking, I'd say, at least compared to the brutal powerhouse that is Jund. You can certainly build a decent Bant deck, but there's a reason a third of the environment is Jund right now.

[kyolovesmomo]

i heart magic...and i want a allly deck^^

[SalchichaPolaca]

try white/blue Ally deck, it rocks =O

[TheMagicman1223]

try black white allys it is awsome with hagra diabolist, join the ranks, kazandu blademaster, baneslayer, ondu cleric, path to exile, doom blade, kabria evangel,hada freeblade,vampire nighthawk

[ubernerd35]

@TheMagicman1223

My jank detector is going off.

[TheMagicman1223]

have you tried it?

[ryanhannahfan]

this is a really good stategy.. im not really new to magic, ive been playing for about a year and im still getting my ass kiked in type 2 tournaments.. so any long term player can u give me sum tips? either comment or ask for my email thanks

[ratchet1215]

@ryanhannahfan Be willing to spend more money on cards. No matter how good a player you are or how much you learn, playing in Standard is very much about adapting and readapting your collection and completely changing strategies and perceptions of the game four times a year, which in Magic terms means buying lots of new, expensive cards.

[Billy1Kirby]

thats why hes talking about attacking with celestial collonade. vigilance wings XD

[fryobv]

this deck is garbage you gotta get idea hands all the time....... unfortunately i know somebody on magic online who DOES.

[chrisv2121212]

yeah did he say that finest hour stacked?????? wtf is he talking about IF ITS THE 1st!!! combat phase you may untap and take another combat phase... lol if it stacked zomg overpowa'd

[mastuhgamuh90]

Yes, Finest Hour stacks, but not in the way you're thinking. After the first Finest Hour triggers, the second will give you that third combat step, but it will not untap your creature since it is already untapped due to the first. Hope you have a second beater!

[BryanCDonaldson]

Swing once, multiple Finest Hour triggers hit the stack. It IS completely overpowered. That's why I run it in my Bants. :D

[tchiseen]

It triggers on each of the Finest Hours on the 1st combat phase, meaning each gives you an additional attack phase.

[vanityvexation]

@tchiseen It gives you additional combat phases but your creatures on untap once; let's say you have two Finest Hours out and you swing with one of your creatures twice, you still have another combat phase but the first creature can't attack again so IF you want to attack again you can swing with a different creature

[moshfeta]

finest hour untaps the creature that attacked alone

so fail

[LastSasquatch]

@chrisv2121212 He said you're attacking with Celestial Collonade when he said finest hours stack. Because the collonade has vigilance, so you don't need the second untap.

[chrisv2121212]

@LastSasquatch ok ok ok i understand now, i was getting all confused lol :P

[zenex57]

what about some land enchants like crusher zendikon or vastwood zendikon? that could animate quite a few lands and guive you more creatures.

[lKILLGIANTS]

This deck seems to be a lot of style over substance.

[G1G3X]

thats one expensive ass deck.....wow lol

[manudosde]

Wow I've been testing this deck for the last few hours and it's relentlessly sick. My only concern is howling mine deck, but I guess that can be fixed with sideboard.

[NightTimesRevenge]

put some qasali pridemages in the sb

[manudosde]

That was my exact conclusion :) I was sorry to let the admonition angels go though: they're so timmy!!

[MrScream305]

sic

[nathones]

Rich needs to stop interrupting. Zvi is great at doing deck techs. Just let him talk.

[Tyrfing0320]

@ Avron14: Cobra and Stewart both have their own strengths, though not familiar with this deck, Stewart of Valeron is definatly a playable card in constructed. If you have seen Manuel Bucher's Bant deck, which had 4 Stewart of Valeron mainboard, in top 8, World Championship this year, you wouldn't be an ignorant and pretending you know what you're talking about.

[WickedDealer]

Rampaging Baloths made me smile.

[hypn0t1c]

Looks like fun. Of course the deck would cost well over $400 to put together, so it better be.

[whagoo]

@ SSJiraiya Lotus cobra makes this deck work. without the cobra u dont get out fast enough to just suprise your opponent with take 10 points of Dmg on turn 3 with some consistency.

[SSJiraiya]

@whagoo I understand that Lotus Cobra is amazing with the deck i have tested junk and bant with lotus and steward and lotus is better when not dealt with but when i play the decks steward has been pretty good. Lotus Cobra does make the deck a lot faster agreed.

[SSJiraiya]

Rather play steward of valeron instead of lotus cobra its too iffy

[Avron14]

Steward of Valeron? What the hell are you talking about? Do you play magic?

[Billy1Kirby]

This deck is nuts, comes out of nowhere for lethal damage. nice.

[Powerslave1123]

I love Thornling, and I love War Monks. This deck is awesome.
