Deck Builder Episode 41: Blue/Whilte Lark vs Time Sieve 2/3

[silentwolfe94]

The reason you ditch slayer is correct. You never tap out vs. this deck. You simply cant.

[dalexj]

why doesnt time sieve run a gargoyle castle? it is an emergency artifact and itcan possibly block.

[TGSTING]

I'm surprised you never activated your Gargoyle Castle. I mean, he could bounce it with his cryptic command, but that would have allowed you to do more things.

[jjdog1000]

great videos all around

[CareyStudent]

A FOIL Silence????!!!!!!!

i am humbled by its awesomeness

[canman87]

Joining us tomorrow evening, Bryan? Redeem yourself for the bad beats!

[carthwolf]

If mary held her tournament a little earlier, like 3 or something i would be there def, but 7 is a bit late. If i go it would be without Shannon most likely.

[canman87]

I hear ya. Well, if I see you, I'll see you, but if not then I'll just catch you next time.

[Ballinlolz]

Does time sieve have any creatures?

[carthwolf]

no it does not.

[Ballinlolz]

Wow, thats.. way too risky. if he played any creature based decks it seems like hes basically screwed.?

[Ballinlolz]

Oh yeah, i wanna see a video of Stan losing , :D

[carthwolf]

its a combo deck. it doesnt need creatures.

[Ballinlolz]

i know but, the chances of you playing something like an elf deck, where they drop creatures every turn, is so likley also i dont think hes gunna draw 12 turns of counters.

[3sstudent]

Really? Seriously?

Y'all are poor players

[carthwolf]

really? seriously? you dont back up your arguments.

[cdubs1390]

either way keep these videos coming! its really helpful how you talk out the plays and give reasons for why and why not!

[cdubs1390]

at 3:08, i know hindsight is 20/20 and correct me if im wrong, but wouldnt it be a good idea to bait out cryptic command from stan by countering the boarderpost and bouncing sieve? if he did use his cryptic, then you could safely run out archmage the next turn and have a better shot at taking control.

[owningnewbs]

a good card against time sieve is double up underworld dreams

[StanGrunder]

well i lied, bryan did not do it lol

sorry bryan! mad props

[carthwolf]

:D this match up was one of the most mentally straining ones i've done in awhile.

[StanGrunder]

at 3:08, bryan epic failed

sorry man, but that does not seem like the optimal play :/

[asseeninYOURDREAMS]

why do they shuffle the cards and looks at them again and again as if they're going to change if you shuffle them.???

[lKILLGIANTS]

they're thinking of different options. sometimes if you shuffle through the cards and look at them in a different order, a new play might come up in your head... or something like that.

[asseeninYOURDREAMS]

are they really that retarded? .. .that they need to shuffle something in order to visualize a different play..

[carthwolf]

YOURDREAMS: there are several reasons why players do this. If you keep your cards in order, most players keep the card they want to play first on the right hand side of their hand and keep cards for later uses near the left. Lands usually filter to the right. If i play a spell and someone looks at their top card i know from that its something important and to play around it. If you shuffle your hand randomly you give no info to your opponent about your hand status.

[StanGrunder]

it is a habit that all tournament magic players develop over time lol

[coinsu]

so what is the idea behind them decks anyway?

[johnluke072000]

well the one that the guy with the howling mines his deck is made to be annoying and well so is the other guys too

[carthwolf]

Time Sieve is a comob where it uses artifacts to take extra turns and then attack for 50 plus damage in a turn.

lark is an old strat that uses reanimate ideas to reuses its creatures

[coinsu]

i see thats cool

[zelda289]

hey carth think you can PM  me the time sieve deck list?
