Magic The Gathering Faeries: A Deck Analysis, Part 1

[Lightmane321]

Why is the Clique so wordy?

There's no reason for it to say 'the player reveals the chosen card'

WHY? If you 'chose' it, then it's already revealed.

Take out the words 'reveals the chosen card'

They're totally unnecessary. Or am I missing something?

[dirtywizard]

@Lightmane321 perhaps if it is a multiplayer matchup, then all players would know the card, i am not sure.

[carthwolf]

@Lightmane321 because you can target yourself. If you target yourself you still have to reveal the card you are choosing to your opponent.

[arcengal]

@Lightmane321 If you target yourself, you have to show your chosen card to each other player before you put it on the bottom of your library. It stops you cheating. Same principle with any card that specifies a specific type of card, like Enlightened Tutor.

[MrResearchfortruth]

I beat my friend fairy deck,which is similar to this, using allies.

[Trooper19783]

magic rules state that if you have two of any legendary creature at the same point on the field they are both automatically destroyed

[gothikgamer]

@Trooper19783 two legendary creatures with the same name.

[aberdeencat]

never really had a problem with it via vesing susher & pyroclasm :-)

[agentlala]

i checked the price and its around $250

[numba1netsfan]

JUND FTW

[IamMexico]

How come you aren't running any Oona, Queen of the Fae?

[gothikgamer]

@IamMexico costs 6 mana and doesn't have flash.

[nickrulesutube]

its worst match up is five color control red deck wins red deck wins has magus of the moon vexing shusher and post board they have gutulal response and fulmanator mage

[ThePCGeniusX]

Wait, what do you mean by playing Vendillion Clique during their draw step? What does that do?

[magicgameplan]

Vendilion Clique allows you to take a non-land card from your opponent's hand and have them put it at the bottom of their library, and then they replace that card by drawing a card.

[vankilsing]

is the list shown the one you are currently running? I want to run a faerie deck but a lot of them are running multiple jace's and im a nub who just recently got back into magic for casual play after a few year hiatus. please help. thanks :D

[magicgameplan]

@vankilsing i actually don't play faeries anymore because it's not legal in standard. but the list on the video is pretty good for casual :)

[andrewkuisel]

it means before they can play anything you can get rid of a card from there hand

[DanielHoward777]

in my opinion faeries is one of the worst decks, a power controll deck is best way to go but faeries are about adveridge

[Squallfer]

You dont´t know what you're talking about, now this deck archetype is the second most competitive in professional. Once was

the first, the best deck.

[kingkongbassbeat]

Problem with that deck is, I've seen a old version builds of that kind of strategy with older cards so most of my decks are built to handle some form of shut down. Might be interesting to see how my old slivers do against them. Just might be a challenge.

[ArielAdan]

i can't believe i just bought a vendillion clique for $10.

[smartassmarie9014]

faeries are lame and im not so im never going to play faeries lol

[smartassmarie9014]

faeries are the lamest way to win so i dont like faeries

[smartassmarie9014]

id rather die than owning a faerie deck i think theyre ridiculous and dies to so many cards like volcanic fallout and scattershot archer so im never going to play faeries

[smartassmarie9014]

actually have you seen the magic show where it talked about conflux... it was about how magic is trying to kill faeries lol like kevinkenny3 said you can kill almost all faeries with volcanic fallout and some of them with scattershot archer so maybe you should reconsider your choice of joining the wonderful world of faeries lol think on that

[carthwolf]

this video was before any of those cards came around.

Faeries is still the best deck even with those cards.

[15rebel15]

alright thanks

[magicgameplan]

The Faerie deck is Blue/Black. You can't buy it in a starter deck. If you buy the single cards, I think it costs about $700.

[agentlala]

@magicgameplan I recently checked the price and its around $250.

[jadeneverly]

@magicgameplan would u b willing to trade some cards?

[magicgameplan]

@jadeneverly Sorry, I don't trade cards over the internet. Also, right now I'm only playing online, not IRL.

[jadeneverly]

@magicgameplan o ok i was jst checking 

[15rebel15]

im new to MTG also so i have a question............ what color / colors is the faerie deck? and can u buy it in a starter deck or do u have to build on your own by buying the little 15 card booster pack???

[WilltheAtheist]

Emmh... No... You don't build decks by buying boosters and hoping for the right card. There is websites that sells single cards.

[LastTomato12]

well thats how I and alot of my friends build decks buy boosters then get ideas for decks out of those cards and maybe buying a few singles

[Phiz787]

Will... you can build decks out of booster packs, its just not competitive. Casually however, booster pack decks can be quite alot of fun. I wouldnt bring one to the tournament though

[meanberry]

What are you talking about hav't you herd about limited?

[kevinkenny3]

But of course since Conflux came out, Volcanic Fallout, respond to a turn two bitterblossom with celestial purge, Scattershot archer, 1 damage to all flying creatures.

[147258369abcz]

faeries suck nuts and i will never join them. a burn deck would win against faries any day. ive done it.

[elavate7]

treefolk r better lol

[ILessHawk]

I have to agree with this guy...faeries do own but they're weak so you burn the hell out of them

[kevinkenny3]

Player B: In response, Scion of Oona.

Player A: In response, Scar your Scion.

Player B: In response, Scion of Oona. I win.

[forlife01]

defense grid makes faeries a lot less pesky. when spellsputter sprite costs five on my turn ... mmm that makes me happy. and I agree with the guy who said "death to faeries" except scion of oona. . . he's just one badace faerie!

[lordlotor]

RDW for the win!!!!

[sithapprentic03]

death to faeries

[Lightyagami121]

i dont like this build of faeries. u lost me at the random pendelhaven and pestermite. i think u should add a terror and something else

[polkadotedfish]

the pendlehaven would pump his weak 1/1's that his bitterblosom is makin gif he dosnt have scion of oona

[theManTCBflash]

yeah he could end up with 3/3 flyings plus whatever else is out. Beastly.

[agdstardust]

Oh how i wish pendelhaven was still legal

[polkadotedfish]

i gotta say i like faeries but im starting to lose intrest in them because almost every thrid friggin deck i see is faeries and most people i find are playing them only because they win and that kinda sucks....but it makes sence good vid btw :)

[tarmogoyf56]

why doesnt anyone run psionic blast in faeries... i run it and ive found no problem with it

[LancerJak]

i think because your taking one a lot of damage as it is, yes burn is sweet, but it just doesnt seem to work, what would you take out?

[Kylamb25]

dude you own. 571 people like this

[NickP412]

whats it cost to run this deck?

[Madhofd]

its quite expensive, really

[magicgameplan]

yep, over $700!

[LancerJak]

easily over 800 actually, the damnation, cryptic, bitterblossom, mutavaults, scion and all the rare lands really freakin' adds up

[dolemiteX]

Nah, you can build it easily for $500-600. Still quite expensive though.

[imaking300]

whut does it mean by run this deck? sorry ima noob lol

[magicgameplan]

To run a deck means the same thing as to play a deck.

[angrypooh06]

Try going elemental. Nobody has done this in earnest in standard, but they are back in a big way. My friend's deck wins 4th or 5th turn, is completely standard, and hits hard. 20 trample damage and 10 direct damage on 4th turn. Beat that.

[LancerJak]

yes it is, but it has zero protection and it's way too aggro, wrath of god, damnation, terror, sulfurous blast, slaughter pact. then sower of temptation, cryptic commands. yes you can amass a trampling army by turn 3, but those are few and far too rare. my friend had a elemntal deck, did massive damage and won quite a bit, then i got a faerie deck, he never won since

[MysteryHand]

I can't believe no one has posted a response. As a starting Magic player I found this video very interesting. The video had good production values and you did a great job walking us through the deck. I hope you make more.

[sireka]

That's because there allready is a online show called "the magic show" with Starcitygames' Evan Ervin. And that has everything this show doesn't and do to, only better.
