@Alcaste19 @PlanetWalls @Chillie @ Nil Yeah, he must have had issues submitting his deck and didn’t feel like playing it out

@Frizzell66 Thanks for the comments, appreciate it. One of my strengths is that I don’t get tilted easily, and even when I do, it’s not too bad. I wish I could play as well technically as Simon, but I am working o it

@Rocky17 Yeah it’s weird, I really thought the 2/4s would halt the proceedings when it came to bear-based aggro decks. From my experience, it hasn’t been the case at all. Aggro lives! (And I’m happy to run it)

@MrPhysics I am not able to look at the mulligan decision where I am right now, but I have to question that it’s a “snap keep” if you have to use a full paragraph of text to justify it I mean, it’s clearly a close decision, and I decided one direction of the close decision for whatever reason.

I like Swing over Veteren by a fair margin. It’s not as simple as outright power level—the flexibility a swine offers is a huge deal.

Appreciate the feedback either way

@Mamut3D Ha, that was a pretty good one, I’ll admit. I play a lot of constructed on MTGO, but don’t really have the outlet for videos currently. I’ll try to pepper them in here and there though.

@Anonymous yes(?) 0_0

@clast_two Thanks. Maybe it’s something I should look into?

@apricio Normally I would agree, but I really dislike Mark for Death, and Shambleshark is a really great two-drop in the right deck. The chances I run Mark for Death are very low, the chances I see Shambleshark are also low. Close call.

@knx Huh??? You are crazy man! Voice is NOT just a normal two drop and green is NOT the worst color. I have no clue where you came up with these claims shah. I did pick it for the money though, I wasn’t hiding that. (I would take it over the black gatekeeper even if it wasn’t worth money though)

@vis yeah I think that in general Frostburn Weird is a good bit better than Impact. I wanted it for this deck for the reasons I stated, but it’s still very close.

If things go how I want them to, then I would agree with your play. If he removes guys though it can get shaky. I took a more aggressive line, and I’m not sure if sitting back would be better or not to be honest.

@anonymous Thanks! I’ll look back at the mulligan decision (I am on bad internet at a cafe right now). You guys may well be right.

@cartwhellnurd I loved it too. I’d run that deck every time if they let me

@wolf Yeah I really need to look at that hand again, though 1-landers are pretty sketchy.

@steveS interesting. I hadn’t considered that. I think that Lobber Crew is very good (and better than Snipe in most cases) but your claims are true and battalion was important for my deck. It’s close either way.

I think Guttersnipe is better than Lobber Crew for your deck – not just because of the instants-and-sorceries angle, which might occasionally be relevant, but mostly just because it can turn sideways – you have a deep stack of Battalion cards in your deck, and I think the slim chance that Guttersnipe enables that is probably better when deciding between two cards you’ll try not to run anyway.

I agree with keeping the 6 cards 1 lander. In about 66% of the cases you will be able to cast your 3rd creature in turn 3.

Loved the deck, really aggressive. I do like watching gruul play more than boros so I’m sad you went all in on aggro but it was an incredible deck! Too bad you got seriously screwed that whole third match, you would have won it all.

@Anon above me: I guess it was just that one-landers are hard to keep in that format.

Definitely agree with MrPhysics about the hand in M3G3, since you had 2 2-drops and a 1-drop that you can cast so any land and you’re in a really good position. I thought that it was a much better keep than the hand in M3G1 so I figured you would at least consider it. I’m curious what you were considering that pushed you to mulligan?
Great content as always, loved the modern match as well I also really liked seeing how you played to your outs in those games where you were mana-screwed, definitely helped me see plays I wouldn’t have thought of otherwise!

“Corpse Blockade can get deathtouch.”

I realize that. Marshall had a Frontline Medic in play, though, and enough attackers to trigger battalion.
