Seth using math to justify “one land one keep” was great.
I take that back. Him blaming math for the “one land one keep” is also great.
Bro why do you talk like that
Against the mill deck, you could have forced the relic by playing the fetch land and then cracked the fetch land to get back two blood ghosts. Your Grist still would have had its plus one left to mill after the relic resolved.
seth has been listening to terrance howard to much math is a lie lol
If we're running a lands toolbox with wight or the reliquary…. Where's the bog?
always a good day when cece shows up
99 percent arena legal
OK Zoomers either you get it or you don't. Pay attention to the into …
As someone that's playing a version of this in historic – and sure, the metagames are different – but from my experience, turn 1 mana dorks are pretty huge. Given that the gameplan often involves getting out multiple 3 drops (Soultrader and Chatterfang) being able to get one of them out on turn 2 is huge, and having a mana dork also provides 2 mana on the turn you sac it to Soultrader and gives you a creature to sac to start a chain (with something like Chatterfang).
The one caveat I'll say is that, again, I'm using the mana dork line in historic, so unlike modern I don't have to worry about Orcish Bowmasters sniping the dork.In modern you could run Delighted Halfling or Gilded Goose to have dorks and not have them die to Bowmaster, but that would be up to you.
This never understand whats going on with this client, much prefer Arena
Just got my first order from Card Kingdom! My girlfriend and I are going to our first commander night tomorrow, and we learn a lot from your videos!
We're having a heat wave in Buffalo too, and the AC broke.
7:59 there's no way that tapping and untapping wasn't your opponent trying to cast spell pierce, i laughed out loud
Me on math tests in that last game
I played a similar deck at fnm last week except I was playing 4x birthing ritual as well as chthonian, and ritual was the best card in the deck
Could springleaf drum slot into this deck as a way to make mana off the creatures being sanctified to soul trader?
mana dorks plus collected company might be a better angle than the graveyard stuff
I feel like a zulaport cutthroat or a blood artist would have been better than the marionette apprentice. Yes you lose the fabricate, but you gain life with each sacrifice making the combo truly infinite and sustainable.
match two game two: play trader instead of apprentice. sac the two remaining creatures to apprentice for the treasures to play apprentice, then sac servo for the treasure to play grave crawler from discard and go off a turn earlier, giving your opponent one less turn to draw tron.
Wright of the Reliquary.
I like birthing ritual in this deck, but sometimes has a sac-fodder problem.. still honing in on the best build, but def wanna try with soul cauldron 🙌
I did something similar with soul trader krenko and blood artist.
Adding white for Kemball is infinite
In game 1 match 1 you could mill grist and summon it with nightmare off bloodghast, effectively drawing one card once you play a land and Ghast comes back
is wight of the reliquary+bloodghast+intruder alarm anything in modern?
Diregraf Collossus is better choice then chaterfang
So I looked it up and the CH at the start of CHTHONIAN is basically pronounced like it's a K – English is the language that makes the most sense, right? 😉
Looks to me like the number 1 foil to this deck is… SOUL SISTERS? Is Soul Sisters good now??
100 degrees Fahrenheit is about 38 Celsius aka very hot out 🙂
I bet ONE LAND, ONE KEEP was something Richard came up with. And he probably told Crim too many times and Crim told you and it got stuck in your brain because of Crim.. but it's Richard that started it!
I will point out that monoblack does have ways to remove artifacts, but you'll need to play a dirty, nasty, evil card: Karn, the Great Creator can animate an artifact, and then you can kill it because suddenly it's a creature. (There are other options in other formats.)
At least you didn't blame farewell
Also we need a cat cam!
Seems like the deck needs white for Cruel Celebrant (gains life and dodges bowmasters) and Sevinne's Reclamation (makes self mill less painful and allows for combos from yard).
Amped Raptor + Asmor in game 5 is pretty cute.
Currently using Warren Soultrader in an Abzan Asmo Food deck! Works great with Samwise and Cauldron Familiar.
