aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa what a super gross deck. god these videos aren’t going to go well. jesus christ.
you enjoy making these, right?
I think Travis is the only person who’s Magic videos have me laughing literally 5 seconds into the vid.
I built a deck like this except its about 10000 times more annoying. its red white and blue with zedru as the general and it runs shit like eye of the storm, warp world, hive mind, scrambleverse, and a whole bunch of crap that is just so annoying to the point where its very funny. i’m not sure if it would work online but its a tun of fun with friends and it actually wins a lot
btw, have you thought about bloodchief ascension for this deck? it seems to fit perfectly
Best way to start the week. <3
it wouldn’t really do anything but I wish this deck had chains of mephistopheles in it
Sadly, there was another game that was to be included in this edition, but the codec was bad and I had erased the original before we discovered this digital corruption. I mention it in the outro: basically we had a game where The Mimeoplasm player was arguing that the creatures exiled by said card go away when their owners die – which is obv not true. The conversation got very, very heated, and at some point the Mimeo guy killed his own general for what seemed to be fear of being wrong.
I won on like turn 7 or 8, in the most uninteractive way possible, but not a cross word was said to me; all negativity was on said Mimeo.weirdo.
Also, I do play Bloodchief Ascension. Watch the vids more closely, little tomahawk. I mention it being one of the best conventional kills in the deck. And while the deck is certainly annoying, that is not its sole intention: it is quite strong and consistent; I consider it to be one of my absolute best and favorite brews.
I love Chains, fred, but alas, that would be a totally diff deck. I am considering making one though.
Stay tuned, peoples, as I am gonna venture off into mono-colored decks in a new subtheme: The Five Colors of Friendship!
Cool vids. I love these “competitive Commander” demonstrations.
I keep getting amazed by just how bad social etiquette is online. MTGO seems to be full of quitters, in particular. Like what was that Ezuri player thinking? “I’m in school, so I might as well play two games at the same time and then randomly quit halfway through”? I guess being able to join a game at any time means you can just as easily leave a game at any time. I find it admirable that you keep up with it, Travis. (and rather peculiar, to say the least, that you choose to play a griefer deck anyway!)
