Without a doubt, the Bolts have been a welcomed addition. The deck does offer flexibility to adjust to the metagame, which is something I think is important for a deck like this to succeed.

Awesome! Thanks for the coverage. People complaining about misplays is a bit rich unless they too have put up some solid Classic results. Classic is NOT an easy format and the “correct line of play” often differs depending on what you think the circumstances are.

Anyway, Season two information is here:

Hey Ender,

Like the videos alot. Nice to see the complete series of PRE matches. 3-2 is pretty decent.
I also like the deck concept, particularily your post PRE changes. The bolts would be a major upgrade.
Between you and LargeBrandon running the Stoneforge Mystics I am gonna have to put one of these together and test it out.

Just the deckchoice. I think Stoneforge is a player, even in classic. MB not Tier1 rigth now, but with the rigth amount of hate, i can see the Deck steal some matches. The red splash seems interesting.

Hey everyone, thanks for the comments. @milegyenanevem – yeah, I noted in the commentary that it was a complete misplay. Sometimes when recording you get so warped up in trying to make engaging commentary that you miss the blatantly obvious :(.

@shrip – I assume you mean M2G1, but the reason I was holding on to it was that I had good reason to believe that he didn’t have anything useful and he was stuck on mana. Against a storm deck, putting things like Dark Ritual in the graveyard is hardly productive when they can cast Yawg Will and get the mana back anyway. Was it the best play? Maybe not, but in hindsight everything is 20/20. The better play would’ve been to return the B-Skull to my hand, not Ancient Grudge it, but that’s what happens when you don’t playtest enough, it was a line of play that wasn’t evident to me at the time.

@ StewardUlk – do you disagree with my specific deck choices or stoneforge being a player in Classic? If it’s my deck choice, I honestly agree with you, hence why I made the last video. But I fully agree that Stoneforge in classic is viable. Is it the best deck ever, obv not, but it is fun to play and can win matches.

Very cool to see some classic videos!

There were way too many misplays, though
