I Smack Fools Down With Their Own Creatures | Against the Odds



Standard today is overloaded with super-pushed, power-creepy creatures—Atraxa, Etali, Sheoldred, massive Dinosaurs—so today, we’re going to punish our opponent for playing these busted bombs by using some random uncommons to steal their creatures, smack our opponent with them to get in some damage, and then sacrifice them for value! What are the odds the plan works? Let’s find out on today’s Against the Odds!

  1. When I started to play Magic, the first thing I did was buid a deck with Catch // Release and sac outlet to Catch lands, creatures, planeswalkers … Anything and sac them to draw.
    You could even use the land you stole as it untapped.

    My deck building skills were not great at the time tho :/

  2. I've been playing a similar deck the last few weeks but it's UR, realized "if everyone is playing huge bombs, why not steal them?" Then saw there are no less than 12 threaten effects you can put in a deck! I use the red one mana fling adventure. It's so much fun 😅 Yours definitely has a better plan for what happens when they don't play creatures though. Control is nearly unwinnable.

  3. I love that the first opponent was trying to jund em up in standard, old school style with lily of the veil + bloodbraid elf (aka appraiser), but it was not enough against the steals and smacks xD Poor jund getting janked out even in standard.

  4. Been on a wild run lately with these decks and your videos. Having a ton of fun as a viewer.

    Modern has been unwatchable for a while so I'm looking forward to whether modern has opened up with Fury gone or if it's just all unwatchable Bowmasters and The One Ring.
