  1. I really dislike Tomer's deck. It's just 5 color good stuff, and 5c good stuff is one of the things I believe to be wrong with the format in my opinion. This is why Golos got banned: No reason not to play him.

  2. On this week of "Punt or Bluff?" Revenge is a dish best served cold! Will Phil's angry squids blind everyone with ink or will Seth just become the best mayor in SimCity: Kamigawa Edition? Tune in to find out!

  3. 39:33 if you use Rite of Replication to make five copies of Scourge of Valkus you will end up dealing 180 damage! 😁 All five of the copies plus the original will all see five dragons entering the battlefield, so they will each trigger five times, that's 30 triggers dealing six damage each!

  4. Sphinx of the Second Sun used to be bugged when combined with Paradox Haze. When it cam out I played them in shrines and Sphinx triggered properly, after my 2nd main, it gave me a beginning phase but because the upkeep occurred twice, for some reason the game thought it was the actual beginning of the turn and went to my first main phase, allowing me to cast spells normally. Then the turn ended when I moved to combat. I tried it later when Go-Shintai came out and it seems to be fixed.

    Richard: have you thought about Urborg + Filth to make your creatures unblockable so Ognis can attack?

  5. Is Richard Canadian? I thought he lived in California? Or do y'all call the American $1 coins (which is a thing that exists but is NOT common in the states as far as I know) loonies as well?

  6. tomer: I actually built something similar recently but mine is 4 colors and focuses more on yarok+miirym things. a BIG BIG price of getting all the Tokens into play is genesis chamber. u should def check it out for ur deck.

  7. Yeah, they'll do ANOTHER drop based on the Wedges, each with 3 Shockland that has old border, and FUCK IT, also have the T tap because yes.

    I like having some beaten up cards depending on what the card is, heavy play is a sign that the card has been used, not just sit in a binder, those played cards are veterans!

    My Sisay Shrines deck is a mixed bag when it comes to speed, it can win turn 4 sometimes, but also can get stuck and take forever to win, and since the deck had no space for interaction due to 11 (mostly bad) Shrines, the deck did manage to find space for a few ways to actually win. I was amused when I realized Zur can find both Sanctum Weaver and an untapping Enchantment, at which point you have infinite mana in a Sisay deck, and if you can't win that turn you're doing something wrong. AFAIK the issue is rushing Zur out, and everyone else figuring out 'just kill Zur?', at which point you're just digging out Shrines and the deck feels bad. Also, dealing damage via Shrines can be a hassle, the Sanctum of Shattered Heights can't target players, just creatures and planeswalkers. I feel like Sisay speeds the deck up a lot, but also makes you more of an archenemy. In Sisay you can (and probably should) run those clunky Group Hug ramp spells, so in my case I've got lots of basics, I guess Go-Shintai would just ramp and fix a bt and be satisfied, there isn't much point in helping everyone else to generate extra resources to get to WWUUBBRRGG or WWWUUUBBBRRRGGG, which Sisay is eager to hit (and wins super-quickly then).

    Cool non-Dragon Token deck Tomer!

    I'm pretty sure Homarids are lobster people that wiped out the Merfolk empire in Fallen Empires, they were probably the jankiest tribe ever printed, where you'd have to play out overcosted Homarids, wait until the ideal time and make Camarids with the enchantment to avoid suffering from low power, 3 Camarids wasn't bad. I think there is actually a Blue Anthem from back then, possibly more than one, that could buff your Camarids more than a single Homarid. You could also use Unstable Mutation with a well timed Homarid to get in some serious swings before sacrificing it right before it'd die anyways. It also would have worked as a combat trick back then, damage used the stack actually. As far as low-budget old school goes, mono-Blue Homarids aren't as bad as they sound.

  8. Very fun match ups, but here is the issue besides the odd combos or lack of taking place. a shrine deck w/o attack taxing/worship shroud effect is odd basically, its saves along with their abilities to help you live unless someone mass removes the enchantments. One tick with me is all the weird stuff people do with Ur-dragon, look I get but best design are usually always dragon related you can change combos. I prefer scion of ur-dragon though tbh, alot of other stuff you can do.

    My shrine deck I play mana dorks then have ways excel it as well go off with jeskai ascendancy if I have to.It can go off combined with semi-protection you never lose easily and always have the out.

  9. omg, if never fails. I hate watching Seth play decks I like. “Maybe Shrines are just too fair” is a statement uttered by NO ONE who is a good Shrine player or played against a good Shrine player. Even if Seth doesn’t play the deck well, fine. But don’t sit there and dog a really good deck because your not good with it. At this point, I would like them to play a week where every deck Seth complained about while play it, is played by the others and let him see how good they do with them.

  10. I think at this point Richard is so focused in that weird and inefficient Ognis combo that he legit forgot that you can just build this deck as a grand warlord radha deck that has black. Ognis works best at an aggro deck than whichever jank he was trying to pull, tbh.

  11. 57:44 "I like you played and a little roughed up," said Phil, rolling back against his pillow lighting a cigarette.

    Onslaught Island #337 giggles while leaning her whitening border against his shoulder. "I'm glad you kept me in your pocket all week."
