 Hey all welcome to the first match in our Journey into 8 rack, so I'm gonna do the unthinkable and say that I do want to go first to you And I'm gonna stick to that I'm gonna stick to that for as long as it seems For as long as it seems reasonable All right, let's have a look at this I'm basically hoping to draw land after land in order to continue Raven's climbing Removing creatures he plays as we go. I think it's probably just barely okay to keep Maybe if I was on the drawer, I would mulligan this hand So a bit of a coin flip this match up, you know, it can go either way Am I sorry I went first no Yeah, and now we are yeah, I mean now we've got options if we do draw that swamp He might even help us a little bit that's nice So now we've got some lovely options here. I mean small That is good. I mean that is so so good. I mean and Look at the sounds arrogant of me, but look at this By having chosen to go first look what look what we have open to us You know, I can dismember the guy wait and see if he does something, you know what his next move is you know I'm trying to think of a reason not to do smallpox here So I want to keep this member I want to keep both lands for obvious reasons Rift bolt Wow. Yeah So yeah, he has gas he has stuff going on Not not entirely useless We're gonna start with inquisition in any case So you might be able to pinch an idle on or something nasty So the best card he has here is lightning bolts. I'll take it Suspends riff bolt So I think we get the rack down here The other argument is to force another discard, but I think I want my mutavolt Yeah, that's fine Come on in. All right, this is pretty nice. This is fantastic We know searing blaze in one of the card, I just think there's no reason why wouldn't we do this? This is just too good. Go ahead and kill Lily if he wants to that's okay Sure Searing blaze won't work So sometimes what your opponent would do if he's not experienced against eight rack as he'll horde to defend against the rack I'm not sure if that's what this guy's doing. I don't think it is He looks okay What for fear of being yeah for fear of being for fear of having to discard it before we got to use it So he's nice and tapped out there So we are protected Quite often eight rack versus burn does Come down to it kind of feels like a race. It's almost like you become a burn deck yourself Going to four. I can smallpox here It's just Just not fair. Let's do work. He just doesn't even try. Okay. Wow. I'm not sure could he have won from there? Maybe not On two life. He can't cast any more spells Yeah, that was probably probably game over I suppose So There's some obvious cards that come out here. We don't like thoughts. He's against burn Don't like bob against burn so that goes against my Worship of him um Fatal is very very good. Uh candidate to come in wrench is very good He won't be running any artifacts The question is though what comes out what what comes in instead Candidates would be black male Funeral charm. I just really don't like here at all. I don't want to play funeral charm He's going first Okay, again, the hand is a bit lackluster Um, I think it is a keeper So this question here as to whether I should fatal or inquisition I think you can make a really good case either way here. Um, so I think the right the right one here is lava spike Um What was that a wooded foothills Second wooded foothills, so we know we know what we're dealing with here. So I think now's the time Heading back just nice wrench mind or something in the dark. It's often a good idea not to play it until you know What's going on? Oh, wow rage quit. Um, that's a shame actually because he wasn't dead there Uh, what do I do here 20 play points? There we go. Uh, again, I'm hoping to hit a swamp This match up. Oh, it's not Is it Is this like the, um Oh, is this that crack clan? ironworks Something or other I think if it is I'm obviously going to do this instead of wrench It is. Wow. Cool. Get sterings here I might as well play this So wrench might horrendous here I actually haven't played this match before so this will be interesting buried ruin. We have to see what that is I do Return target art art from a graveyard by hand. Okay Combo in general, um Very good match up for us Did the deck again playing out quite differently Um And I think we want to bring in Leyland of the void as well. I think it's got to happen though Yeah I think I think I can see the loop. He's he's he's creating here either of these two cards In his hand Yes, the scrapped roll goes back He just has all the pieces Gets the ironworks down But then can he make enough mana to play and go off on his I think he can can't he can Cool deck this it's a very cool deck Yep, so he makes a Vigillion mana keeps bringing back the well spring draws his whole deck Or maybe the deck doesn't work the way I thought it did He's not going to When I suppose it matters He gets the mana though. I thought he was ready to go off there You can't keep doing that turn after turn and expect to live Come on man. You need to go off So you can make four mana. So why don't you do it? So do I make him sack here? I think I do and then I can crime it out of his hand, right? Whatever he puts in his hand here That's good advice If I had been playing the game for 13 years, you'd think I'd where's that? Where is that thing the three drop the echo echo well spring back something to do with that maybe We'll just do that same thing again. It seems good Dredge, you know is so hopeless and Hardly ever comes up Um That to chew up four slots, you know, and I'm not bringing it against You know your death shadows and your snap custom majors and that kind of thing. So it comes in here. Yes I Wrench absolutely horrendous No way in hell that we would continue with that To sub for it. I think a couple of bobs that natural tension between them and smallpox is okay still Um getting blocked by a mere retriever is kind of annoying Wow Oh Yeah, okay. So and this is where bob in the in the build does sometimes rear his head and say hey I've got a question for you hand with both him and smallpox in it um Turn one rack turn to bob. He's not going to remove bob Um And just draw a bunch of cards eventually play lily. It's probably okay. I think that's probably okay It's good. It's a good enough line to say keep here on the draw So I'll put it been quite good as well When I saw chromatic star chromatic sphere, it's like your heart sinks. You think it's green tron and Uh, which is just a most unfun match, uh for eight right for anyone really I just for the record. I hate it Can't wait for them to I don't need to ban urzus tower, but like ban expedition map. Just if you guys could do that for me ban expedition map and um I know you've released dampening sphere or whatever in the new set dominaria thingy Maybe it'll have an impact. I don't know. I hope it does but um I think it's just staring so you to keep him from building is assembling is Okay, it is or maybe we don't know. We don't know. Okay, so star to ryan to ryan And I think we can take the land pretty happily Sure What happened in game one if he actually could have gone off and didn't and you know, whatever Like he's so far behind if I go land. I'm definitely playing this land if I go smallpox rack Like he's so far behind And then I can bob. Oh, what card do I pitch that? I have to pitch lily He's in bad enough shape at that point I think you can make a case either way for either lily by herself or these two cards going out together In any case, we're abandoning smallpox So I'll take the road less traveled here and do this I don't know what the right answer was there Wow Okay, so she's coming out. I think it's um Let's try and leverage bob. He can't actually get this thing back into his hand easily So I'll do it this way That's annoying Ventus fair it really is. All right, there's the star. There's the terrarium Please know other horrible little annoying thing. Oh, what's this? What's he doing? Stirrings blue. Okay. Oh, it's a legend Mind stone Sure Terrarium sure Yeah, yeah, I do want to do double smallpox next turn. So I will throw away this swamp So that she has her sack outlet available drawing an actual card with bob is fine Um, I'm very happy with that. So he takes five here in total because of the inventors fair Oh god, that's a legend. He can't sacrifice buried ruin yet That's totally fine, mate. Oh, you poor dude This matchup is probably tough for him What's he gonna do? He's gonna start trying to make mana Find me something Oh, what was that? Grove of the bird. Oh, that's his land for the turn. Okay Smallpox pitch this smallpox picks that and then he dies on his upkeep Hmm The whole the whole smallpox versus bob thing You know, it manifested itself here, but did it upset us much when it came time to say goodbye to him just now? It's not too bad. You know, I'm not too unhappy. Oh, he dies. Oh, he does die Trigger doesn't yeah. No, he's got to fill his hand. Okay. Yep. You can fill his hand That's something you can do There might still be a way you can pull this off. I don't know. Usually this is absolutely an unbreakable You know lock it's just so hard to get out from under this when you've Okay, guys, well, thanks again for watching so far so good with this And I'll see you in the next video
