 Okay, so for this second series Made a few tweaks. I felt like the deck had a little bit too much beef in it So I've taken out one hex trinker and one tireless tracker The other changes are I've taken out one a braid As well I've added in a mana leak and then two Additional counter spells one sensor which I think could be an annoying little trick The guy if we pull it off if we pull off the main feature of that the guy I wonder if we actually have a deck full of these and Maybe he'll cause them to play around it I'm also interested in this reduce rubble Move as well, so it's mana leak but for three mana and then in the graveyard We can do the rubble thing where we get a tempo. We could also get some free value off rubble from Thoughts scour if this card goes straight into our Graveyard in the board I felt like the board needed a bit of an update as well, so I've pared down the dragon's claws taken away a cage And I've added some additional sort of goblin type hate Forkbolt pyroclasms So I feel like that's the main weakness of the deck if the guy is playing humans and stuff That's kind of t3. Well, we basically say we trust our time ago if to beat them up But lots and lots of small guys. I think could be more problematic for this deck Also just kicking around different types of hate one New thing I'm interested in testing out. I'm interested in all these counter spells right reduce sensor as well as this one Exclude which is kind of like you get to do cryptic command for three mana if if it's the right type of opponent so I'm thinking Eldrazi tron things like that And get really good value out of this the constraint for our deck, of course is the mana base we can't have double Colours, but that's true anyway because of blood moon So that's that's yet to get there isn't here But also blood moon means that we only ever want single mana In the in the converted mana cost Well, I mean you could do something like the royal science is fine because it's one of each and yet one of the two Is read anyway, so if you've got a bunch of mountains So anyway, those are the tweaks And So yeah, let's go and see how we get up. Okay, you go to game rake 17 7 1 7 And if you can hear the sound of children playing in the background That's just my children playing in the background during Extended period of lockdown This hand is just okay We do have the luxury of turn one keeping open Passing the turn and either scouring or bolting It is a keep None of our really busted interactions happening here, but we could draw mandrels or goiff would be really relevant There's his mine. Okay. Oh If only we were on the play He says Yep. Okay, so I just took to the plan here. It's very unlikely that bolt will have a target. Yeah, if he's just got it He's just got it Talisman. Oh Okay, I hope it's not some sort of control Tron, which is like my worst most hated opponent Mono blue Tron is my most hated deck of all time Don't mind saying Yeah, just hold up leak here Can't see a reason to Play the hex drinker yet. Of course it protects against gillie's biases a turn if he does have Godhand Feel like we should probably just bolt Hex drink a hold up leak just I just don't see us winning this game Reduce This is interesting Hex drink a hold up leak. I think it's probably better to get the beats going But he might be able to pay for the leak Anyway, yeah, yeah, I think it's close. I think if we already had a threat out then reduce would be really really nice So I could untap rubble okay, he's thinking about maybe he's worried about me getting to level three See, there's another potential counter spell card. I was kicking around was tails and which Which would counter the ability of things like expedition map Just so sweetly But don't know two conditional too much of a gotcha. I don't know. That's fine. We're just losing this could actually crack the Island here I think I like that move though. So one land behind aren't we like to play tracker Yeah, I think we just play it slow. Let's force him to reveal what his deck is before we head into Game two so our leak and reduce are just all garbage now. Oh What you wouldn't risk that would you know shark typhoon? What what the hell? Okay, all right, well, what do we say to that? bring in the stuff that Works well against colorless Sharknado seriously Once he makes the shark token, I have no answer at all in these colors Obviously path to exit. I don't know how he's getting on grudge interesting here. What did we see? I'm on the play so grudge could be quite good Maybe take it out again when we're on the drawer if we win blood moon obviously fantastic That's not gonna work this time. None of this stuff applies Bolts pretty bad Bolts actually quite bad Tempted to at least take out three of them. I think things could be quite tough in game three For us on the drawer again. He goes turn one map. Hey, we got a win game too first So maybe worry about that across that bridge. We have a grudge We can kick off with a hex drinker on it off a stomping ground Or a Yes, this is actually a bit of a problem because There's no such thing as breeding pool in our deck so Turn one hex drinker off stomping Steam vents actually turn to If it's map, I feel like we lose but if he doesn't blame well Actually, if it's a map we don't lose because we can blow it up with ancient grudge even if we've even if we've Got in a steam vents. We just can't flash grudge back. So I think we can keep sorry, have I got that logic right so If we get stomping ground into hex drinker, we'd have grudge for the map But our counter spells and censorship are on ice. I Think I'm okay with that. So I think our chances of finding a blue sauce Is still gonna be pretty high That's our only green source in the deck that can be fetched with scouting time Okay, power plant into nothing Okay, and we're safe to just level up here. I think aren't we? You won't have a momentum to play and crack map Losing to sharknade a poorly acted movie in Hollywood history There it is. Well, I guess we're crossing our fingers. This resolves First force of negation is a thing and not drawing us a blue sauce. There's pretty over two turns is pretty bad The game's probably still over. We don't Can flash back the grudge And that's not a horrendous turn if you give me something to hit. Ah interesting blue sauce countering an activated ability be so nice, wouldn't it? It's pretty obvious what I want to do here. I can level this guy and Have enough mana left over to Stubborn denial Okay, I can't I can't play. Yeah, I think that's right I think that's how I'm gonna get the most out of my mana here. I can also if he gives me an opportunity cast sensor So we'll level up switch on stubby stubby D Swing And then on his turn we can hopefully sense or something If we can't sense it hopefully we can leak and if we can't leak Which would definitely be able to leak But if we couldn't we would have stubby blasts Okay It's obviously very very worried about the extra because that's fine Good cycle sensor here Three and tap to destroy Everything with CMC one and he has the mana to do so. So I'm tempted to sensor To cycle sensor. Sorry, and then once I've cycled it, there'll be two extra cards in the graveyard To potentially switch on mandrels because we expect the extra drinker to die So I think that's what I'm gonna do like that's a big loss of Tempo if he's gonna take a whole turn to tap for man's and Does he have to sacrifice the glass thing he does? Doesn't seem like a very good trade to me. All right, let's swing. I Can tap out for mandrels, but then I lose the grower or I can tap out for mandrels. Oh Yeah, extra actually. Yeah. Yeah, so I can One two three four five six and still hold up stubby D that seems really good So it's one two three four five six And stop and denial is up. This is it looks like a crappy card mandrels But this is the power of you see how like we're using every resource in the graveyard and Go mag is a bit bigger, but he costs one more It's a pretty decent combo Field sure host stone won't work. Come on land me Go, it's pretty big. We could just play him. Couldn't we does he shorten the clock? Sufficiently he doesn't actually shorten the clock doesn't he? So for that reason we won't play him really want to make the most of this So if he has a decent non-creature spell If he has any spell at all We can leak whereas if I tapped out for go if I'd only be able like if he was able to resolve a Difficult creature. I wouldn't have an answer See what he's got can only do one thing cryptic command Tempted to try to reduce here might as well All right fair enough. Yep. Well, he might be able to come back here I had two blue sources. I could have had leak and stubby D and now worm coil and something like that It's pretty hard to come back once they Resolve a big permanent. That's just one turn too late Stretch out the permits one or more colors And I want to go hunt master with mandrels. He'll be scared enough of the mandrels, won't he? I'd be sacrificing my ancient grudge It's only plus one actually so the tracker would threaten the tracker would threaten to Yeah, but I won't have ferocious if the track is out can't do nothing Okay. Oh, it's not gonna work. All right. All right, whatever. Okay, so I got a game here against Gorm play magic I think we can keep opponents mold of five So I assume it's the amulet. I found that amulet absolutely sucks against this deck Just blood moon rex it and then if he ever sticks an honest primeval then the heck strength It just walks past it. That's the plan How much do I care about a second forest? I think I'll get a second forest Just disgraceful This is a really favorable matchup Very hard for him to get anything moving I feel like our deck is quite strong on the play in general mana leak when you're on the play Into something nasty on turn three Very very difficult this might even just Bring out the concede. I think that if you find a basic forest that stupid triad overrides the moon So that's something to bear in mind Yes, it's just so hard so he has to bring in hate. He's gonna have nature's claim things like that There's not much that our deck Wants to do a braid is good for killing the stupid amulet thing. So is grudge This could be good triad Azusa Titan obviously none of this other stuff is Useful Okay These are on the possible list I feel like Huntmaster isn't amazing against him. It's not gonna be a grindy sort of match Bolder still good because of the Azusa actually flame slash is better So we're at least doing that. I'm gonna trim the threats down too low either These are just good. Well, I on the draw are they as good? I Can mana leak dry out or Azusa Consensor on my on my on his third turn and can also just bolt them there, right? Do I need two ancient crudges and an abrade? Do I really want to hedge that much against the amulet? I don't think so So two cards that hit amulet can make a case. Can you I think I like this I think we'll go like this ever moon have a leak. Oh Why don't you go ahead and you go ahead and start flashing basic forest? Well, I just get a basic basic forest and play hex drinker. I think I would be a little tricksy Birds is a big head against blood moon. So he's not amulet. Maybe I Don't know what he is. So all of his stuff has flash Happy to leak a big creature here. That's what he's got in mind. Sure And depending on what it's out for we just a braid the bird Seems like something we want to stop So maybe this is bring to light or something But what he's doing? Oh Pretty sweet. I don't know if these guys are crap. I can't get a basic island of it So with that in mind, I feel like I want to Well, I'm definitely not Rubble could be quite important against this guy actually. So the idea being that he's gonna have It's gonna go up to 10 mana, right? Yeah, I can't play creature So I don't want to play blood moon without a basic Islander may he though. So can he play land now? birds So should I have braid now? Do I care about a braid? He can do anything he wants. He's got 10 mana. Her reduce just doesn't seem that useful. I Think I just have to pray that what he wants to do he wants to tap out for wherever he wants to do He wants to tap out for thank you We'll get a stomping. Why didn't he wait though until? Because he could he could save up. Well, he doesn't know that I'm Marna leaky. Well, he does he's seen Marna leaky He could have waited till the end of his turn so he could have 10 mana protect a play against this one. Yeah, rubble Barney rubble A braid and gulf Rubble's not good until he actually commits what she isn't going to. Okay. Yeah, I still think we're gonna lose It's gonna draw three So what does this do it does x infinite turns is that how it wins? Still feels like it would struggle with a moon though, right? So I think that's my only hope now is to go for moon and hope that matters I'll still have double blue Marna For time or whatever it is. You just feel like the game's slipping away. So we're all in Counterspell. So moon was good pyroclasm seems like it's gonna be good maybe for bolt Be quite good against those annoying Birds and stuff like that certainly better than lightning ball grudge had no target. So let's take that back out again Yeah, we're on the play again. So I think mr. Cool is as good though as these other options He's not doing enough blue stuff for it to really be good 59 I gotta pick something the dryer isn't here. So put the flame slash back I think I'm happy with this with the bird removal Sweet so on the play we're definitely looking for moon Turn one bolt would be amazing colors. I've got a turn one bolt And a turn one stubborn denial actually very very interesting So We'll get a steam vents no matter what because I have all the land. Yeah, all I need to do now is draw blood man And I'm Pretty happy Okay, fine just events tapped. I don't know if I need another green source. I probably don't but I'll just on the off chance I do Mystic snake is a cool car. I actually thought about that for this deck hoodie now Sadly we don't have a Threat and we're both we're allowing him to just build out is His world this is bad This is not good one two three four five mana not enough for mandrels I think it's just draw go weird. We're just in draw go mode Still got stubborn on my sleeve, and I like if he plays a fourth land taps out for wilderness. I can deny it Please do that. Please see my defenses down and tap out for wilderness You creature other creatures you can try. She's actually not that bad. Okay. Okay, so we should have Okay, yes, I can rubble. Thank you. No, no don't go away Go on shut the door. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No later. Shut it. Oh, sorry about that. Let's see Rubble time walks in But I can't drop a threat Whereas I'd rather have mandrels and stubborn which I can have if I go One two three four five six and then hold up stubborn. I think that's what I'm gonna do one two three Four longer the game goes though the more favorable it is for him obviously taps out for wilderness It's not too bad. So her ability instant speed everyone gets bigger. Yeah Feel like Hunt Masters decent here. He will eventually grind the game over my way if I can Keep countering what my opponent's doing cool thing is he needs to cast a spell or it transforms. Oh hex proof, right, right, right You and other creatures you control have experience. Okay, right, so it becomes a five six when that when thingy activates itself, right, but I'll still have two four fours and then I Bolted afterwards Seems like the way to go Do I care if it eats the wolf token? Do I want to offer him that I think I do actually this is a sorcery Okay, so I can transform back if I do two things this turn if I cast two spells this turn So I think it's better to wait Could also cycle this no, that doesn't make sense Okay, we'll pass. I think I really want him to transform to be honest. So who will transform now? Exclude isn't what I want here is it? It's not good. I knew stubborn. Oh Rubble is switched on Sweet Shame I need to cast nothing to get the Is there a case for sacrificing the hunt master to take him down to eight? Cast rubble cast my second Mandrels it's interesting He goes to eight. I lose the hunt master Right, he still has a chumper. We'll assume he still has a chumper. I play my second mandrels I then have 12 power toughness on the board. He doesn't get to untap Yeah, I think this makes sense. I think we can we can win the game with rubble I think he's he's miscalculated there. He's fully tapped out Wow, he's letting me live Okay, I think Oh no, hang on. He does. Okay, it's up to three target lines So I thought it was everything up to three. What is that was that blue? blue Blue there's red careful here. We want to play mandrels and hold up denial which we can't do Yes, we can because we have scalding done Don't know what's gonna happen here. Right rubble. I Thought it was all of his landstone untap. That's not as good as I thought it was right. I need to pay red This one still would have to believe that he is not gonna be a happy man One two three four Holding up bolt seems worthwhile Do I care about my graveyard? Yes, I don't okay, dude Annoying tight one. Although even untapping and swinging am I definitely winning? I think I still am right. Yeah, okay Good games Keep winning dice rolls. I like Decent I can do turn one any of my three turn one things And given that I'm gonna want to get a basic forest the Vista Always multiple five that sucks He's not a four and I just have to See if he wants to play on okay. He wants to play on so given that he's done that I Think just dropping a threat is probably the way to go Rather than long playing with stubborn denial and maybe whiffing We can always bolt On our second turn If he does play something meaningful Like noble horror his forces him to have some kind of answer or Tempo to keep up with this So we're gonna leak whatever he does next if he doesn't do something meaningful now So which way to go here to leak Or to bolt Well, I'll need some red man and no matter which way we do it. I think it might be leak actually Something's telling me leak Leak is us Still like leak not worried about life total obviously Yeah for some occasion don't care very happy to do that. We don't have that Now we bolt what do we? So if we bolt and he goes land blighted agent don't feel pretty stupid I can't switch on stubborn denial yet anyway, but stubborn probably Is irrelevant until the turn he swings. I'm not gonna cash. I'm gonna try and switch on stubborn here. Oh Yeah, maybe with this thankfully haste and infect aren't two abilities that Easily intertwine So stubborn is now a hard counter Any non creature spell target creature gets plus two plus two. Yeah Okay, another plus two plus two bolt or stubborn both are blown out to Both get blown out to mutagenic But he has one card in hand. I don't think the downside is is high enough. I think we just win the game Which one of these do I use though guess stubborn? It's got a target. It's we're live. It's right now It might not have a target later Think it either case was fine. He had to have exactly mutagenic to survive there and Yeah, look at this. We're finding we're finding a role for our stuff fry hits agent an Agent only hits nothing else So it's in the maybe pile Clasm is fantastic dispute exclude might be too slow and A lot of the a lot of deck of course is far too slow. We're in decent shape here though tracker seems quite slow Reduced rubble seems slow Sensor actually seems okay We're on the draw Yes on the draw You know on the draw our counters get worse Stubborn is still relevant though saving our life on turn two mystical It's really just blighted agent right tracker is bad in this matchup. It's too value e long-term planning esk Feel like the science could Convert a four-turn clock into a two-turn clock if I had a decent creature and we were racing Bloodman is pretty spectacular as well. We're actually pretty well positioned here Okay, I don't know between tracker and science. No idea which ones the way to go Feel like track is just gonna be a chump blocker Against glistner elf at best and a meaningless three two for three at worst that you play just before you die Too much removal to say no we can get stopping ground This is the new infect after mulligan a lot. He's down to five cards here now I used to feel really bad for my opponent when they would you know mul heavily but since land certain decks like dredge or whatever are designed to mull a lot and You've got to take everything you can get against against them so Okay, should we sorcery speed Kill the elf normally you should write against in fact Yeah, I think that's what I'm gonna do and I'm gonna use lightning bolt instead of fork bolt What I'd love to see is another one and a noble hierarchy One two three four five can't cast man drills can't do anything else. I Can forked and lightning So I'll do that Hold all that up Might make him think I'm leaking Maybe I was too hard on mana leak. Wow. Oh, can I get there? One two three four five six. I cannot get there but next turn I can should I just go for it He can't I think I can just go for this try and you just go for it Then I have my clock. He has a five turn clock and I've got a hard stop and denial and two removal spells my sleeve I don't think you can counter this Spell pierce sometimes Is the old version of index the old version of infect had spell pierce? So if you can kill me from where you are fine That's off to you. I Think all you can do is play a threat. Just remember that's something you can do Could have played around that I could have played around that feel like an idiot now Yeah, it's fine. You obviously can't let it live So if we cast blood moon And he responds With you can't speak out spell pierce it. He would need to know in advance that I was gonna play a removal spell Yeah, this is a risk worth taking right this is fine put this on the stack if it resolves The agent is dead unless he has two mutagenic growths and even then I don't care if he uses them both No one suspects the blood moon. Oh Oh Okay, so it becomes a three drop a three tough three toughness creature right Do I respond to that now and I think the answer is yes because if he has force of negate force indications Usually with two cards in hand is almost unthinkable, but he could have mutagenic growth. So I'm gonna bolt it now While that's on the stack This just feels unfair doesn't Yeah, just feels unfair like we're Toying with the guy. I sound very cocky, but of course in fact can kill you from long range Out of nowhere Okay, he won't be casting any non-creature spells. So we will hold up Fork bulk plonk a bit of beef onto the battlefield. Well, I can't stop that. How many copies of dismembered did he bring in? It's another beautiful thing about Hunt Masters the redundancy and what a draw that is So same plan as last turn Pwner's heart sinks Tough one for in fact, especially after my side. Well, man, those four fork won't lighten bulge. It made me feel so safe That's a good one
