LOL @ the guy hehee. But damn, I love my Bant deck.

[lorenzo501]

[NeptuneMS385]

My deck has so many cards from so many different generations. I've got creatures for Magic 2010, Shards of Alara... I've got like 3 that still have the white border.

[irwin855]

[patsfaninct]

I love how at 1:54 he starts killing all your creatures, making it seem awful if you don't attack alone. :0

[shooksonv2]

i agree

[darksinthe]

yup that kid has the look of a serial killer.

[88Vrus88]

srsly this guy creeps me out

[ghostfire1234]

loxodon warhammer, horned helm, and battle mastery. hehehe nvr fails for me. just imagine getting at least 5 exalters and attack with one./ it gets +5/+5. give it some trample and double strike then it gets +10/+5 instead. lets see if your enemy wants to block that. credits to my old samurai deck though...

[l3ANEl3LADE]

Rafiq+anything

[ghostfire1234]

i got a question, if i had a creature with double strike and i attack with it alone with rafiq in the field, does the double strike trigger twice? so i attack with 2/2 double strike and deals 4 damage, does the other double strike trigger too making it 8 damage?

[driftingsmoke]

if the creature already had double strike, the double strike mechanic from rafiq would overwrite the original double strike and replace it with rafiq's

[ghostfire1234]

ooohhh... now i see, so basically double strike will only happen once. ok thanks for the info, just trying to clarify that. now onto the next wierd card i have ever seen, glimmervoid basin. i dont get it.

[driftingsmoke]

the exalted would make your double striker make it a 3/3 making it deal 6.

going on what i said earlier, double strike works the same as lifelink.

if had a creature with lifelink with an enchantment to give it lifelink also, it would not make me gain double the original damage dealt.

exalted is a slightly different. if i had a 2/2 with exalted and another that had exalted also it would be a 4/4.

2/2 plus +1/+1 (it's own exalted) plus +1/+1(something else that has exalted) = 4/4

[SaintInferno]

no it doesn't because double strike is a static ability and it having double strike twice is just redundant. just like flying, it would have two instances of flying it wouldn't 'fly higher'.

[historyaccountant]

I am not familiar with the cards to date.I havent played for @ 5 years now and I am wondering if life link works in reverse as well,loss of life if the creature is damaged?

[electricimpling]

no it wouldn't its only it damages you get life not reversed, would be funny if there was an enchant that gives -3/+10, defender and when ever it gets damaged its owner takes the same damage

if there was one it would probably not be a creature but an enchantment

[sirTbag1227]

the green shards of alara deck is terrible

[AmethystTorrent]

A creature that gets Exalted past 5 power will gain the effects of 5 power matters, if it resolves at the end of a turn, right?

[yippyv]

yes it will

[OnceAsNiper]

OW! i'll take 4 damage.

[markandme123]

:) :)

[TheZandCShow]

Bant is my favorite Shard. My deck is Bant-themed (with 10th and Lorwyn-Shadowmoor Block). It could probably get better with cards from Conflux & Alara Reborn (once they're released). By the way, do all good, tournament-level decks need tons of duplicates? I have my powerful mix of cards, but not a lot of duplicates.

[delayedmuffin]

Yes, the thing about magic is the more cards the more often a combo will be likely be performed.

[AdrianGrey]

I guess "Deer in the headlights look" is a prerequisite for hosting this.

[chunksloth]

Man... this guy is TERRIBLE.

[Mikepm7793]

I lol'd

[jrlcgmx]

Let your heroes do the talking :P

[MaliciousDASHER]

Put a shorecrasher mimic in an 'exalted' deck. attack with shorecrasher then snake form the blocker for sheer hilarity. A good number of bant cards are blue/green.

[TheGroundIsChocolate]

bant's my favorite shard.

[mikebott]

he looks like thomas dolby gone crazy.

[mstainz]

Shit like this is what makes people think magic players are complete losers. THANX B

[sawgydawg]

that guy is so farking creepy

[TrTveT]

Was just going to say that

[Reeceip]

agree wif u, he creeps me out

[flaresonic]

this guy is so lame, can't they hire someone else?

[lolingnumber]

dont be dissing ken dude, he can kick your ass at anytime he wnats

[binLPfan]

hahahaha AUU 4 damage!!!

[Ajani186]

hahaha, he surely was exalted when he gave +1/+1 to the drake, almost brroke the table xD

[gizlivadi8013]

TAKE HERE! +1/+1!! OW! 4 DAMAGE! haha

[Xzibit4531]

Esper!!

[kylepwndyou]

exalted seems pretty fucking awkaward to me. Lets get a bunch of dudes, then just attack with one. I know there are points when you need to hang back for defense, but in any sort of agressive deck it makes for weird combat math. Post wrath of god exalted dudes are great, but other than that they just seem kinda underwhelming.

[ColorlessJoe]

It's all in the way you strategize and if your deck is always on the offense, just don't use any exalted cards. Or at least don't just attack with one to show off it's ability.

[gizlivadi8013]

it's just a way to attack hard, and defend even harder

[meanberry]

This is a reaplay sometimes its bugging for me and shows up as a coment.

exalted is really god in combo with unblockable guys. or cards that gives alone atackers dubblestrike or life link. and its really great if you play with "Stoic Angel"

(G)(W)(U)(1)

flying viligance

players may only untap one creature each upkeep.

[kylepwndyou]

You play any dudes with power greater than 1 and you're doing better than an evasion dude and exalted. For the same manna as angel you can play rafiq and actually have exalted matter.

[DariusKnightshade]

ESPERS!!!

[Stijnhoofd]

"Ow! I'll take 4 damage."

:D

[BBotts720]

espers the way to go... hello artifact apocalypse :D

[DemonMagic25]

i think it wont be that useful if you have lots of strong mons but it seems good for a low mon deck or a weenie deck maybe

[uniwilbs]

i most will play grixis

[WickedDealer]

I'm Exalting white creatures into Naya

[nathones]

i like nagle better with his heavy metal hair haha

[polkadotedfish]
