Does this old card have what it takes to make a new archetype ? | Pauper | MTGO

Added: 2026-05-27

[00:00:00]Hello everyone. Welcome back to the Battlefield Sie. Here we have another POPA video for you today. This one is a little bit different to what we're normally doing. We are actually going to try out a bit of a more of a more of a method rather than just jamming a couple matches with like a meta deck or a brew.

[00:00:15]Essentially, what I've wanted to do is I've been brewing around like a green blue list. One of my mates has been playing with a deck with Temple Spring with a similar build with Boomerang and whatnot. And if you can read Temple Spring there, it says put target permanent on top of his owner's library.

[00:00:27]So, this is such a cool effect and there's not a lot of this that exists in uh common. So, I wanted to see if we can build a deck around it. So, in front of you is kind of what I lent on in my second match, but I just want to pop over to my first build that I did in my first match that you're going to see.

[00:00:43]So, essentially my idea is I want to build a green blue panel list, which has probably been done before. I wanted to go down on land counts up with the cycling stuff with generous ants in Lauren revealed a couple avenging hunters in the later game once they have no land and just run the full suite of the on pond of destruction which is the acid mosses and the thermocasts. Then I was thinking still using around the uh boomerangs and having counter spells and stuff like that to kind of try and help as well. You'll notice some really cooking cards in the form of seas claim which makes a land an island and also spreading seas which makes a land an island as well. So we're running like seven cards that make an island. So kind of like ponza esque if you're not playing against a blue deck which a lot of the format isn't and they're running a low land count. You can get them really early with the seas claim and and curve into a spreading seas and then they don't have any mana that they can play any of the spells with. And then the basis of that is that then you're running into more the three drops and the four drops and then finishing off with spells like luring reveal to find your answers and whatnot and still having counter spells just to get around it. Now the mana base is pretty stock here. I'm not running any bounce lance because I felt I didn't really need to and I needed everything untapped as I came in. So either I want to go like an abundant growth to get the blue to then go s claim and whatnot. I'm running brainstorm so we can get the key cards and we're running so many cycle lands.

[00:02:04]think we're running eight cycles on top of already the 14 lands. I feel like we can kind of get there pretty well. That was the thought. The cyborg I was thinking is this deck probably obliterates very slow decks. So that's fantastic. But how are we going to beat the fast aggro deck? So I'm running just like four weather storms, four hydro blast and I want to try out fade away.

[00:02:23]And this just for like spy combo and stuff like that. So that's a good side.

[00:02:27]I'll just pop that one away. Now this is kind of what my first iteration is. Um, I will talk about my changes straight away as well. You can watch my match one more while I kind of thought about that anyway. But then we jumped into this other variant that we played. So, this is more we've increased the lands, gone up to four se claim for spreading seas.

[00:02:45]I actually took out the counter spells and put in memory lapses cuz I wanted more stuff just to go to the top of the deck. So, we weren't more countering the key cards. It was just countering anything because it goes to the top and then have to play it again. It just kind of snowballs from there, especially when we're thermo casting them and whatnot.

[00:03:00]So, I'm still keeping the thermoccast temple spring, the acid mosses, but this time around I cut an inventor. It was still kind of nice, but it feels kind of bad and like the real aggro list or if they have literally one more creature to you, you're absolutely cooked. So, I am trying out two archomances cuz it just works really well with like these temporal springs and thermo cast these generous ends. And then I wanted to try similar to Ponza cousins is the arbor of the chopius brawls. just a great way to get and jump down to uh these three drops which are very important and then into the four drops. So, this essentially the rebuild that I made. I'm very curious what you think about it. I did chuck in some gingerbread cabins as well. Uh I definitely think to some regard you could splash more with this deck, especially with the utopia brawls.

[00:03:44]You could go around with wild growths and stuff like that to really ramp up quite quickly, but I feel like there was a lot of blue in this deck still. So, you know, it's really it's a give or a take. It's um it's probably likely that green red is better um and it has like a different way of doing things, but I did want to try to see if blue was a different route we could do or if it was more of a medical. Anyway, if you do enjoy these videos, please feel free to like and subscribe. Does help out the channel a fair bit and it's nice trying some different formats as well. Like it is nice playing some of those more explored decks, but also I want to see some of these older cards to see if they are valuable, if they work well. Uh without further ado, let's jump into match one, which is that first deck list that you saw. And yeah, see you there.

[00:04:28]All right, so we're on the draw. I think this is fine. This deck obviously wants to be on the play, but double island. We have so many ways to fetch for a forest, you know, like let's just let's just run with it, you know what I mean? See how we go.

[00:04:44]Islands. Nice. Island go.

[00:04:48]And I mean, we're probably just going to lay out as spreading seeds as early as possible.

[00:04:56]Just attack with the outcast. Okay.

[00:05:04]Into a hopeless nightmare. Good card, don't get me wrong. Uh, I'll probably just can one of these acid mosses.

[00:05:16]So, we'll do that next turn. is just spreading seas. um one cuz ideally I want a second forest now's good lu we can probably hopeless interesting targeting boomerang cuz we're probably going to counter spell the next thing that they play.

[00:05:52]Okay, this makes me want to really get to um like a forest. So on our turn, if they just feel like another hopeless nightmare, I'm fine with that. This clock's like citadel's fine as well.

[00:06:06]So my thoughts are kind of uh we can go get green blue land and play it if we want to. We can't bund it though.

[00:06:18]We could also brain we could Lauren reveal get tapland and brainstorm or brainstorm. I think we brainstorm first cuz we get a land and we're like in a better spot.

[00:06:34]Yo. Okay.

[00:06:39]I don't mind.

[00:06:44]I want to keep the counter spell.

[00:06:48]The Monvali is going to be kind of good as well. Although he's spreading seeds that give one upon the growth.

[00:07:04]Let's just do this then just go get a tapped green blue land.

[00:07:16]and say go.

[00:07:19]Then next turn it probably depends on what they do. We might just be playing a growth and then Oh, they're doing that in their upkeep.

[00:07:28]Okay, they're looking for lands.

[00:07:33]That's fine with me because this is them also using all their mana.

[00:07:39]I'm kind of happy this is spreading season top and bottom. Okay.

[00:07:48]All right. A mountain. Well, we're definitely going to be um spreading seeing that mountain.

[00:07:59]We are on 12.

[00:08:03]More lands would be nice.

[00:08:06]Okay. Island. Let's just start spreading things first. I got the mount.

[00:08:22]Yep. Draw a card.

[00:08:25]Avenging hunter. We don't really exactly need you just yet. We just go island go and keep up a counter spell potentially.

[00:08:35]I feel like they're just going to scry though.

[00:08:40]Just target this and draw a card. I think they're going to do too much with the two cards in their hand.

[00:08:47]So, we had a seas claim as well. That's cooks. All right, we got an island. So, next turn, we can go temporal spring. We probably just target the uh the citadel.

[00:08:55]We could even just like put up the epicure is not as good. I don't definitely don't want to play it just yet, especially because this changing is unblockable.

[00:09:05]Yeah, vampires kiss. I mean, they're probably going to cook us here. Like, we can just go as on the swamp and then just put the epicure on top.

[00:09:30]Let me just get rid of this one.

[00:09:35]Play the island. Get a forest.

[00:09:38]Obviously, this one's play the island. Say go. And then got one, two, three, four, five, six.

[00:09:49]Playing avenging hunter and temple springs a bit too much.

[00:09:54]We essentially need to just get rid of lighting school.

[00:10:05]We need to use this temple spring just to like bounce one of these outcasts. A boomerang. A boomerang's good enough.

[00:10:12]And then we can play avenging hunter and block.

[00:10:17]Then I feel kind of good after that.

[00:10:24]What other running? Okay, there we go.

[00:10:26]They got another land.

[00:10:29]1, two, three, four, five, six.

[00:10:35]I mean, honestly, we could just put that on top. They're not doing much else, though.

[00:10:42]Or we just play Antix.

[00:10:45]Play ant.

[00:10:50]And then next go avenging hunter temple spring. Yeah, I think we just cycle this again of island.

[00:10:59]Our last island. Play the island.

[00:11:04]Just cast that boy here.

[00:11:19]Pass.

[00:11:20]And yeah, they only have one card left in their hand. They do have colored mana now. They can do a fair bit.

[00:11:29]At least now we can play vengeance hunter and then put like that land on top.

[00:11:39]Or maybe it's a ching outcast actually.

[00:11:42]Maybe put that on top and avenging.

[00:11:52]I think that's what we do. We put that on top. Then avenging.

[00:11:56]We could put the outcast on top.

[00:12:00]Keep up counter spell. We can brainstorm first. I guess one three and then one, two. Let's just brainstorm first. See what we hit.

[00:12:10]Kind of nice. We can't target this. And the arrest indestructible as well. So probably put This back. This back.

[00:12:22]We'll play on the Griffith here.

[00:12:31]Draw a card, which will be the forest.

[00:12:33]We'll play the forest. And we'll put this on top of the deck.

[00:12:41]We'll counter spell it because it's unblockable.

[00:12:45]And then uh yeah, that's that. That is that. Let's see if they want to play it as well. They might not want to. We are on five. We just need to get this magic hunter down to actually win this game though.

[00:13:00]There's a lot going on.

[00:13:04]All right, they're just sacrificing charm to scry.

[00:13:09]They might just get rid of the changing outcasts to be honest. And we just counter spell whatever.

[00:13:17]C was very interesting. Very interesting deck decision. They obviously I mean they're running the dross for bridge. I think they're running some kind of artifact build with this maybe like G glass. The bottom bottomed. Okay. See what they hit.

[00:13:34]Do hit a land. Okay.

[00:13:36]I mean maybe they might be able to cast a spell now. Maybe they have a blinding just chilling.

[00:13:43]There's something.

[00:13:44]I mean, we No. Yeah, we we we we got to counter it. We got to counter it, bro.

[00:13:49]It's fine. Counter that.

[00:13:52]Play our avenging hunter.

[00:13:55]They don't run any hasters, so we can attack with our generous as well.

[00:13:59]Do it in a couple turns. Do the Let's attack.

[00:14:07]We're likely one, two, three, eight. Yeah, we can't we can't have it all. We could technically play both of these because we get a basic. Well, we're just playing the hunter and probably cracking this food.

[00:14:25]Technically, I should like keep up, but it doesn't really matter.

[00:14:31]Get the initiative. Let's get a basic.

[00:14:37]Get a forest. Play the forest now. I mean, do I?

[00:14:47]Yeah, why not? Means they can't play aligning if they get off the top. We go get another forest. They can't technically have lethal with us. So, we get a forest pass. All right, we have nothing left, but we have a bunch of creatures in play and a way to gain three life. I I feel better. Even if they got the initiative, I still feel a bit better.

[00:15:11]G blast. Okay. And they get a basic cop.

[00:15:18]If they had another G boss in their hand, right, the part is now that we don't have another creature, we do have to tackle this end.

[00:15:28]Then they have their end.

[00:15:30]You know what I mean?

[00:15:35]Even if you think like what universe we're not attacking end is like, you know, didn't play the mountain.

[00:15:43]Let's just go spreading seas first. This means I can't play much still either.

[00:15:54]Get Let's attack for five.

[00:16:01]And we'll just crack the food here.

[00:16:05]Question is, we want to sc to try and hit something.

[00:16:19]Just grind and see if there's something on top that we can use.

[00:16:24]A second generous end is like literally the best thing ever. Just crack this food now.

[00:16:31]Pass. And I'm hoping I'm hoping the second end does the job.

[00:16:40]That gass top was literally be the one thing though to to keep them in this game.

[00:16:47]Yeah, they can attack.

[00:16:50]They can only play one spell cuz they only got one mountain.

[00:16:55]Maybe they even want to forge just try and get extra damage in don't know that we have a second ant though, but you know they might be holding on to the mountain. Uh so when they do have something they can actually they can actually do something.

[00:17:20]I'll take even like a card to put something on back on top. They're going they're going forge. Okay, they are equipping up this epicure to make it bigger, which makes sense because like we attack and then drop us a three and then they can bolt. It's probably what they're thinking. But we do have another end.

[00:17:44]Okay, cleansing wildfiring. But that's not a indestructible land anymore.

[00:17:51]You get your basics.

[00:17:57]It still correct to do the C. It doesn't really matter anyway. They need they need color lens. Let's attack and then we just go this I guess.

[00:18:14]We'll just play this in crack.

[00:18:22]Let's go. This play out the end.

[00:18:40]Crack it now as well.

[00:18:43]Doesn't matter. We just green blue.

[00:18:45]Doesn't really matter doing that.

[00:18:46]Pretend we have counter spell and pass and then hopefully well we have the archive now so they have to attack with block and then we get in with both. They kind of have to like double I mean yeah they can't double cow blast us while firing. Okay, there we go. We got the G's here. It's all coming together.

[00:19:06]I should probably run some cabins.

[00:19:07]That's what I'm thinking in the deck.

[00:19:10]Just regain life.

[00:19:13]Yep, there we go.

[00:19:15]Cybboard. We're obviously bringing in the hydro blast. Fade away is like there it's always permanent. I guess I think we just bring the storms. We didn't really see anything else scary. I do like hydro blast. I think I don't want the cap sizes. Therma class get worse.

[00:19:32]We might even just cut the acid moss and just run a couple land destruction spells and rely on the um you know just like the uh the spring season claims.

[00:19:44]Uh the avenging hunters is just the only way we're going to win this game.

[00:19:50]I cut any of those. Maybe even just like another fast.

[00:19:57]They're kind of nice just getting those mountains.

[00:20:02]Maybe the the Mullies are better cuz they actually get us closer to um where we want to be.

[00:20:11]Avening hunters for a little bit grosser.

[00:20:17]Let me just cut these and just try and get to the ants and finish them off with an ant.

[00:20:23]We just cut like one castor cuz got the hydro and call it a day. See how this goes. Just lock them down with the lands again and Bob's your uncle away. I'm curious with the citadels though because normally they run like the artifact lands and stuff like that. So, all right. We need at least one land to work here. So, we will mow.

[00:20:43]We will keep this. I think what we'll do is we'll probably bottom a forest.

[00:20:49]Three forest is a fair bit. We can abundant growth one. Draw a card.

[00:20:54]And we have our island. So, we'll go.

[00:20:55]Yep. Bottom one of these. Done.

[00:20:59]And brainstorm's always nice.

[00:21:02]They have mold as well.

[00:21:05]I would love a seas claim here.

[00:21:07]Literally would be the best. the best thing to do. There must be like a madness cleansing wildfire deck. I guess still good. We'll go abundant growth on here.

[00:21:18]Draw cards any color.

[00:21:23]Okay.

[00:21:26]What are they starting off with? Maybe they're running ninjas potentially.

[00:21:32]Vampire's kiss. I'm kind of fine with that. The bod tokens I like is what it is. So like a spring seeds would be absolutely nuts here. But option is I think we just go forest and say go and we hydropass if they play any kind of threat on their turn. Otherwise we will just um brainstorm and look for something so we can like temporal spring the bridge especially cuz they did that. Um that's fine. I don't mind too much about an outcast.

[00:22:04]Look, I am going to brainstorm here because if we get a cycle land and we're running eight, we didn't hit.

[00:22:16]Let's put them back like this. I guess question is I'm going to land.

[00:22:27]We're still going to just put that cross bridge on top.

[00:22:31]Pretty brutal then. And then comes to play tap. They don't do anything for a turn.

[00:22:36]The asimoses are a little bit awkward though.

[00:22:47]Unless they want to play a forest next, but they're not.

[00:22:57]So maybe cuz now we know we're drawing the weather the storm. Maybe we do just brainstorm here and try and hit another cycle land. We could have run some more fetch lands.

[00:23:08]This is we're locked out of this game now. It's a big y matter how we do this.

[00:23:15]We have two we basically have two draw steps of just like nothing.

[00:23:20]But we do have triple weather the storm.

[00:23:22]So I guess we can we can literally weather this. We need them to play more than one spell though.

[00:23:30]I mean, yeah, we're just probably going to get rid of one of these and this. I still want to get the hydro blast around.

[00:23:42]I think we can get a bigger turn out of these weather the storm. So, I'm just going to hold off because we're just going to be drawing the boomerang anyway. Yeah. And we can counter something and then weather the storm and next turn.

[00:23:55]Hopefully just kick it up to nine life.

[00:23:58]Like nothing's happened, you know.

[00:24:07]They're doing nothing. We'll just hold back. We'll pass. We really just want to counter like any red spell.

[00:24:14]Gain nine life.

[00:24:20]I mean, like we could do it here, I guess. I just don't want to be blinding.

[00:24:27]It could have been worth it to do it on that lightning bolt there, but maybe the band's kiss or something.

[00:24:39]I mean, not spreading seas is a little bit awkward, but we can take them off red. So, we will do it if we draw land and we can weather for for a good amount.

[00:24:51]I'll pay five life. We need we need the spread these work.

[00:24:59]We added to a ham sandwich unless we literally draw an untapped land here.

[00:25:02]There's not an untapped land.

[00:25:05]We will pass. So I guess we should have just waited the storm before.

[00:25:10]Just been greedy with these weathers.

[00:25:13]Literally a ham sandwich which they do run a fair bit of.

[00:25:23]the land as well. All right, there we go.

[00:25:28]I think we would have won that anyway. I think we just locked out of the lands.

[00:25:31]Didn't draw any cycle lands either. It's It looks like not that much, but really it's 48 22. That's pretty good.

[00:25:38]Let's just run it back.

[00:25:42]I get a better hit this time. Even I think if weather it still wouldn't work that well.

[00:25:47]Think we keep this because we do go get a um counter spell galore here and a spreading seas as well from the play. So we just go island. If they play any red spell, we can just quit if we need to. Highly unlikely though that we need to.

[00:26:16]Let's just go get I can't even tend to just go get a green blue. So then we can play everything if we need to and then we can hydro blast something else if we want to.

[00:26:26]I don't mind this. We'll do it like this. Get us close to the acid mosh as well.

[00:26:33]The the c the black counter spell is cooked though. You cannot keep a one.

[00:26:38]You kept a one lander. Oh two. Okay. Um, I do want to play a land first and then I just want a spreading Caesar swamp.

[00:26:53]We'll take five if they have the counter spell, but like it's it's modal, you know, like you always take the five cuz you want to it's a spell that you want to resolve.

[00:27:01]All right, that's nice. We can get a forest so we can hit their other spawn if we want to.

[00:27:05]They do need to play a red card though.

[00:27:08]They play mountain red card to get anywhere here.

[00:27:12]Definitely hydro blasting that. That needs to go away.

[00:27:20]And now we can sit behind um we can just sit behind how to spell generous end.

[00:27:35]I could actually just end now. I think I hit now and go get the tap land. Then we can counter spell something and then we can acid moss depending what lands they play.

[00:27:47]Another one. Yes. And see if we can just acid moss that mountain if we want to.

[00:27:53]Uh yeah, target this one.

[00:28:04]You have to sing bolt. Fair enough.

[00:28:09]and the counter spell land. That's fine.

[00:28:12]We are going to pay five.

[00:28:18]I do wish to pay five. I would love to pay five.

[00:28:26]Pass. And then yeah, we can essentially one, two, three, four, five.

[00:28:35]I want to save this as for like another red.

[00:28:42]And that's a clock, isn't it?

[00:28:46]I think we discard the the growth.

[00:28:52]And let's just check that on top. We can counter spell it. They have the most for a mountain at some point.

[00:29:00]That is nice. Let's pop that one.

[00:29:04]Doing that in the upkeep.

[00:29:07]Okie do.

[00:29:14]I would happily take a them having a mountain here. Then we can just counter spell it.

[00:29:20]They top topped.

[00:29:22]They hitting a mountain. They do hit a mountain. Okay, they're not doing anything with it.

[00:29:29]So, we're just going to acid boss regardless.

[00:29:42]Bacon bolt. That's fine.

[00:29:49]Yeah, they have a binding. So, he's just holding to the mountain. They did top top mountain on top.

[00:29:56]which is a little bit scary. We are on seven an out couple turns we can chill though.

[00:30:09]Guess we just put it on top.

[00:30:13]Put it on top and then we can counter spell it and then we can weather the storm for nine. I like that. And then we counter spell whatever else they have and then that and then you know we should be able to kind of get there from there. So we will counter spell you just gain nine instead.

[00:30:53]None's fine with me. Don't know about you. And now they kind of like Yeah, they need a mountain and then something else. So, I mean, yeah, we just put this on an island.

[00:31:09]Seize claim. I do want to save that for a red source. So, we just pass. They're going to be playing black spells essentially.

[00:31:16]a seize claim on me. Whoa.

[00:31:22]What's this?

[00:31:24]Literally, I'm counting a hand sandwich.

[00:31:26]They have another swamp. Okay.

[00:31:32]I mean, that's literally our best draw.

[00:31:38]Revealed.

[00:31:40]Let's go draw some cards.

[00:31:43]All right. Ant's good. We will hold on to everything cuz we just want to cast spell if they have a red source. But now I'm feeling pretty good now.

[00:31:52]Nothing from them. And yeah, GG's. There we go. Bit slow this hand. I think we mullet.

[00:31:59]This hand is better. We can go I think we keep.

[00:32:04]We did an island sea claim. So we'll keep and we spot on the archancer.

[00:32:08]So we go arber elf forest arbor elf and then we can hopefully just use these se claims. They're mulling to five and then next turn we can just go like uh tap the forest luring revealed island probably get the green blue tapped and then cuz this this can come online quicker and then we can untap with array off and then see claim something.

[00:32:34]That is what I'm doing. So let's see how it goes.

[00:32:43]Well, that's also a problem.

[00:32:46]Sometimes decks are just running islands themselves. So, these sea claims are absolutely dog water.

[00:32:55]Let's attack.

[00:32:57]We've effectively mugged into five unless they're playing another color.

[00:33:10]Let's grab this one.

[00:33:12]It like thermo thermoclass hands here.

[00:33:23]They're not doing anything it looks like. Okay, let's take him off again.

[00:33:29]That's one volley. I think we use it.

[00:33:35]I smell a counter spell though.

[00:33:38]Try and target it. I guess we'll see what happens.

[00:33:43]Yeah, we had a feeling there'll be a counter spell anyway.

[00:33:47]It just said no. Don't play ponza. I like your videos.

[00:34:01]They're aqueducting. So at least we can seize claim that we may aqueduct. Who would have thought?

[00:34:18]And it's at least we can get rid of this black sauce.

[00:34:23]Oh, they have a blue white with reality acid.

[00:34:31]That's cool. All right. Um, let's just C claim that. And then we've got to attack with our AR again the billionth time. Moto's a little bit laggy today. Let's attack for one.

[00:34:48]The thing is unless I draw a swamp all their black sources going to come to play tap. So looks like the ste claim is back on board. Okay, the arbor elf pass the island again.

[00:35:03]Three of those. Oh, bonders ornament.

[00:35:07]Well, that makes the mana a little bit worse for us. Let's just crack this cuz we got the mana.

[00:35:12]All right, island. I mean, we'll just play it. But yeah, we'll attack two attack.

[00:35:30]Just talking about how clunky uh these types of decks are. They are uh Bond's ornaments.

[00:35:38]Good.

[00:35:39]Very good.

[00:35:41]probably meant to run that to be honest as like a as that's the uh a wing con bo we just see claims that as well let's be real if there's any multiple black sources kind of dealio yeah we'll just sacrifice creature that's fine with me hunter feels good against this kind of deck though if we draw a vegging hunter does feel very good, but they do Oh, not one of the leads again. We'll take for one.

[00:36:22]I think it's probably like a GG anyway based on these events. Yeah, with the bonders or they're drawing two cards a turn. We our clock is 15. Let's just see what else we get here. So, honestly, probably nothing. I think we just need to draw better really with the memory lapses.

[00:36:44]Maybe use frame cards like depending on what they're doing, but I think we just run it back. Okay, so on the plate. Let's have a look.

[00:36:56]All right, deck. This is like considering what we're fighting, I think this is fine. We'll keep the luring reveal because we just need we just need it really as a um just as a way to draw more cards later on. I feel like we having it like this is going to be a lot better like being able to just go temporal spring into acimos into acid moss. We're going to have a funner time.

[00:37:19]That's nice as well. So we'll play this and we'll just name blue on it and that way we can acid moss next turn.

[00:37:30]Honestly, I'm more tempted to actually play a Temple Spring instead first because Okay, well, this isn't going to be fun for them. I'd rather kind of just put this aqueduct back on top of their deck.

[00:37:46]Maybe they're just throwing me a bone.

[00:37:47]Who knows? Uh, all right. Well, let's just add some moss cuz we get a ramp.

[00:37:58]Tap land like this. Pass.

[00:38:03]Yeah, a hand like this is a lot better against control. You know what I mean?

[00:38:07]And now I think we temporal spring to be honest. Um, get a forest temporal that three or one, two, four. Yeah, I kind of don't want to run into a spell here. say we'll go.

[00:38:27]Okay. Moto's just being a bit laggy.

[00:38:32]We will just cycle this.

[00:38:37]No one lands and play it pass.

[00:38:42]And then next turn we'll um we'll ask They ask if we have demo class as well.

[00:38:55]I'm like, we do. It's in there as well.

[00:38:59]But yeah, we'll target this with this.

[00:39:04]And we just load up this long build next turn. Or honestly, if we now we can um Yeah, game life is fine.

[00:39:14]Just get a forest. The gingerbreads. You want like I want to keep these long bills as well to be honest. I'm going to hang on four, five, four, five, six, seven.

[00:39:23]Um, we could just do one archer. Bring one back. Maybe we just do that.

[00:39:31]Just get one more island and that way.

[00:39:33]Um, yeah, we can archmancer one bully again.

[00:39:43]Very laggy today. Come on, Moto.

[00:39:48]Yeah. Don't know. We should play like this.

[00:39:55]And we'll see if they have a spell PSA.

[00:40:07]and then just try and target this. If it works, it works. Otherwise, spell is coming. We're more likely going to be getting hit by counter spell. So, next turn. So, not going to be a campfire. Okay. Well, that's good for us. Get a forest. Now we got like so much juice in our deck, you know, like everything need to get a land or we can I think we keep I mean we got to cut the sea claims but I don't really know what we're targeting that and then just playing land go mean it's blue black as well.

[00:40:44]At least we can yeah potentially just get something off this Laur seas claim is not all that in a bag of chips.

[00:41:14]But we will still play it on the black source there. I'm sure they're going to have counter spell now.

[00:41:23]It could have been right just to play the the end, but blue it really play land B45.

[00:41:55]Um, okay. We see this claim. We just pass now.

[00:42:02]Oh, sorry. Meant to attack. Oh, I clicked it. I clicked the arguments, but I don't want to click Bruce. All right. So, they're ditching our seed claim. We will get to at least seize claim that. Just crack this queen now.

[00:42:35]My internet's suddenly recovered. It's good. We're doing the thing. We're doing the thing with the deck.

[00:42:42]a ghostly flicker or anything like that.

[00:42:44]It would be pretty punishing now. Therma class is pretty good.

[00:42:49]Um, I kind of actually want to 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10.

[00:42:57]Let us still it. It's pretty annoying to flicker that. So, I think let's attack one and then we'll play the we'll play the end here.

[00:43:16]Honestly, it's probably correct to I think just for the sake of things, we will still thermoccast this. I know that they have a they had a land before, but we just Yeah, we'll just um we'll place land as well.

[00:43:32]We will just uh I technically I should have kept an island up for like a memory lapse thing, but like they're going to play their tap land here anyway. We'll seize claim it.

[00:43:42]Good. Just see if they want to concede after this claim here. I know it's taking the snowland, so we're gonna gain life, but it was really worth it. But now we can just kind of cook with this and drop them down over over time.

[00:43:56]It's more like if they they have a black source and they can cast down this generic attack. Just hold up his food token, I guess, you know.

[00:44:16]in the game. Two of turn got double.

[00:44:21]I think I think we're pretty pretty good though. We can just attack for a bunch of turns. We got a memory lapse for anything specific. And that's not what if they cast this spell goes on top and then they you can cast it again if they want, but you know something really fun. Draw a card.

[00:44:39]Investigate. Yeah, let's just chuck.

[00:44:42]Good car though.

[00:44:47]We would have had that other lorry revealed less. Yeah. Yeah. Let's just chuck it back on top again.

[00:44:58]All right.

[00:45:01]The third memory lapse. We'll attack.

[00:45:04]They'll try and juice the game. Memory lapse it the third time.

[00:45:08]Oh, it's they're pretty locked out now.

[00:45:10]Yeah, there we go. All right, we took we took a game away.

[00:45:15]Uh, we'll still run as is. This deck was definitely just like cracking with red.

[00:45:21]Saw nothing else really jumped at me.

[00:45:22]Like the S claims are still technically better anyway. We'll run them. Okay, this hand is a little bit slower, but I think we keep it nonetheless. So, we can kind of just go uh gingerbread cabin and then next one probably the arbor elf.

[00:45:38]We got just monothermal class. It's just the thing is we're not on the um we're not on the play here, so they can definitely hit us with a cheeky counter spell here and there. Anyway, um we could chill on the cabin.

[00:45:55]I think we're going to find a player and then we'll just um attack with the elf play cast the elf and then uh cycle just like the ants just to get like another forest so we can line up a thermo class.

[00:46:17]There's a swamp. There's a swamp. I mean, I don't even hate just like hitting that with a I feel like there's a cast out on the way. I'm tempted to honestly just spreading seeds, but then we can't. We definitely can't thermoclass next turn.

[00:46:31]But I feel like they can just cast down that. So, let's just hit this swamp.

[00:46:38]They might just have a counter spell for it.

[00:46:42]They might just want to deduce endstep though.

[00:46:47]Okay, there's our forest. So at least we can just thermmo class next turn.

[00:46:52]Probably the prime thing for them to for us would be if they just want to cast a like a I mean a bonders would be a bit how you doing the sucking that from a swamp. We'll definitely thermo class that me aqueduct. Well, we're going to thermoclass that. It's been very fantastic being able to just hit these those cards.

[00:47:17]could even um let's just get down to business. Let's just start pushing through these.

[00:47:24]I want to hold on to all the luring reveals like next turn I want to go just generous and forest play the elf.

[00:47:37]There's a seas claim.

[00:47:40]We could get an island. No, it didn't really work.

[00:47:44]Sorry, generous. Let's for cycle here.

[00:47:51]Get another forest. Play the forest.

[00:47:59]I think the blue is a bit more important now. We'll just class the and then just crack the clue. Yep. Okay.

[00:48:11]So next turn we can just play like a forest and seize claim on there and hopefully luring build next turn. We name blue just tap this will be on there and just temple spring this.

[00:48:38]Let's just slow them down and we lur next turn and play it. One, two, three, four, five.

[00:48:44]Because we gave them blue anyway.

[00:48:49]Let's at least refill our hands. So, we got one, two, three, four, five. Lorian next turn.

[00:49:00]All right, take another seize claim. I think we do still fire off this loan.

[00:49:06]Pass this.

[00:49:08]We get something good.

[00:49:10]Either land's fine. Triple forest. Okay.

[00:49:13]Not maybe not that fine. We'll play this arrow. See if anything comes of this and pass the cast down on that. I feel like they or they might just want to keep cracking clues to try and draw more lands. Really like a fair cop as well. No, is it isn't a cast down. Fair enough.

[00:49:35]Let's hope this uh Lauren reveal is good enough. I ain't going to Lauren reveal first.

[00:49:41]Two. Three.

[00:49:43]Play an island first as well.

[00:49:46]Pass this and then we'll likely see claim that maybe just memory laps instead to be honest. Never draw another land.

[00:49:57]We can save this claim for something else as well.

[00:50:00]It's just black feels like it's more really specific and just memory lapse.

[00:50:05]Whatever. Memory lapse and then cease claim.

[00:50:09]No spell bomb. That's kind of fine.

[00:50:14]There's another Lauren build. We're just going to cast that.

[00:50:18]Still our best draw. Okay, we'll go forest.

[00:50:22]Thinking if I just pull on another one.

[00:50:23]We don't like really need to go that crazy with everything.

[00:50:28]utop Yeah, we can utoping blue and then we'll just seize claim. So name blue. We'll seize claim that other swamp and then we'll hold up memory lapse for whatever they play and then we'll just asimos two more times and then hopefully we can take it from there.

[00:50:53]They said probably not the uh the greatest match of first teachings deck.

[00:50:56]Am I probably not?

[00:51:05]Yeah. Cycling the suffocating fume. Just maybe they got pretty pretty uh pretty dead cards.

[00:51:17]Yeah. Want to kind of keep that up though as well to clean up. Just discarding like a teachings. Let's just acid moss this. One, two, three, four.

[00:51:34]And we got one, two, three, four. Yeah, we'll memory lapse that that goes on top, which is like really annoying for them. Just going to draw it again. And then we're going to now we can like play forest acid moss. So we're going to get this green blue land forest. And then we just do it again.

[00:51:56]And now we know they're going to draw the counter spell. There's not much else they can do.

[00:52:03]Just my cut scene.

[00:52:06]We have very minimal lands left now.

[00:52:07]That's why I went with the low land count because we Oh, yeah. Essentially, there's not there's not much else. We know they're not going to draw land.

[00:52:14]They're just going to draw this counter spell again.

[00:52:17]And maybe we can win with this one arbor elf.

[00:52:22]Draw this ant. The ant's better. Let's play the end. Two, three, four, five, six.

[00:52:28]Cast end.

[00:52:31]And we keep it alive with ghostly flicker as well. We will just tap gingerbread cabin.

[00:52:49]just asking how it go against like a fast deck and I said probably not well enough. Not just yet anyway and we'll pass a turn.

[00:53:13]But now we kind of have this. We just use a ghostly flicker to protect it and then have a memory lapse up.

[00:53:20]Won't use either. But yeah, now we can just kind of kick in for six every turn over four turns. And hopefully that's enough.

[00:53:32]Avening Hunter is pretty pretty good here.

[00:53:37]Probably going to seal the deal. I think it's space just means there lethal next turn.

[00:53:48]There's that one.

[00:53:52]What about our basics?

[00:53:56]Let me just hold on. Like it doesn't really matter. We can play everything still.

[00:54:01]Yeah, that's fair enough. Get a land.

[00:54:05]Nice tunnel tapped.

[00:54:07]I'm just thinking five and almost lethal. We can just flicker the avenging hunter anyway.

[00:54:15]So, we just give it the counters and then we'll flicker it to give it the final mount. So, we go forge, chuck it on the Doesn't really matter. We just chuck it on there.

[00:54:24]We'll attack and then we just do the trap.

[00:54:29]Insult to drew. We could just play that, but I think we just jam it like this.

[00:54:42]They just sent me their blue icons list.

[00:54:44]So, I will definitely check that out.

[00:54:46]Thank you. Um, let me just copy this.

[00:54:55]And we will just target flick of this and this.

[00:55:06]So, we got the initiative. So, was just talking about was just talking about the the blue white deck, but the cat my cat's circling my keyboard. So, you know, cuz it's dinner time. It's dinner time for both of us. Cat.

[00:55:23]So, it comes back, initiative happens, and then we'll go. It's a trap.

[00:55:30]You'll work out a way to actually copy that. Copy that thing. I'll do it in a second anyway. Still five to you. GG's.

[00:55:44]And let's just do a wrap up and just see what we need to talk about with this deck. Anyway, all right. So, this was the deck. Like, it just feels very similar to something like Red Ring Ponzer, but it just felt like a little bit off. Like I tried to offset things by having less land running all the cycle stuff in Lauren helping regass us, but I just felt like with if we didn't have either an arbor of hand, it it wasn't as good and it was very match dependent. Like we played against a teachings deck, but if we didn't have a sea a, you know, a seas claim or you're just playing against a matchup that's just using islands, the seas claim and spreading seas just get way worse. A lot of decks are running like a second color. But you can see if you're playing Monog Fairies Terror, you're just looking down these seas claim and spreading seas and like, oh, these just feel like awful. Um, so there's kind of like two sides of the deck and then you kind of have before you even start a game, you're having a coin flip of like if this deck's going to be good at all.

[00:56:48]Whilst the red green version is obviously going to be a lot um better in terms of you can just jam out these big green monsters. Yes, you can get the wrong side of your deck sometimes, but at least you have like a game play. It is nice though. I feel like this can kind of set well in like those slower builds uh against those slower builds and decks. So you can just seize claim spreading seas just curve into like a temporal spring or a thermo class. It's quite nice having that curve um and really screwing up people's mana, but now it's I guess with the current meta like if you were just playing against monor red madness, you'd feel pretty awful against that. Yes, you can seize claim and probably spreading seas to some extent, but the way they can cycle through if they just have like one mountain, they should be pretty good. Do you know what I mean? So, I think in general, this deck is kind of half. It kind of needs something. either you just switch over to more of a fog deck is probably the the better part, but it was pretty fun being able to place these claims in these. So, I'd be curious to know what you think about this. Um, it might be more of just turboing out the avenging hunters and having that blue background for counter spells and the in the thermo class and whatnot. Uh, sideboard wise, it's we probably need to play with it more. It's more just gets around like those aggro builds. So, I think this deck's already lined up well against the slow decks. We just wanted something that's more faster and it's probably interchangeable. We can take out more of our heavier stuff at the bottom. You know, one maybe take out like an Archamman and whatnot like a ghostly flicker and the avenging hunter and maybe take out like uh some level of memory lapses cuz they're not that good against efficient decks and just bring in the hydro blast and the fadeaways and see how that goes. But yeah, generally if you can get in that late game where you can drop a generous and you're feeling pretty good and you can maybe go to flicker or something like that. Um but yeah, I think that's probably it it for this deck. I'd be curious what you think about it, what you think it might need and change. I mean the the Bonder's artifact might be where it needs to sit and you can go more into this controlly route with the thermmo cast and whatnot and maybe even the arbor elf like going into Topus roll arbor elf and maybe with wild growth you can just always get into a turn to uh bonders or like a temporal spring or like thermoclass if you just always have like four wild growth for utopia spraws and probably still run the seas claim the spreading seas and then maybe even have like an enchantment background uh potentially but anyway let me know what you think and I'll see you in the next All right.
