      It was crazy pants, but c'est la. He would have had to survive a bunch of damage next turn but, on board blocks leaves him with no permanents but the infinite combo.

    Seth, I just want to tell you how much I appreciate what you do. You provide an endless supply of fun and engaging content for free, and it makes it so much easier when I’m sick or after a long day to just relax and watch your videos. Keep up the good work!

    I remember winning a gameday with my Lich's Mastery - approach of the second sun deck. You play Approach, you put it 7 from the top, then you gain 7 life and draw 7 cards.

  • @ericvargo9324
    @ericvargo9324 Před 2 lety +24

    This video reminds me that Wotc has been making some really powerful but simple uncommon legends recently. Queza is power for simple raw card draw. Vega is in this vein of idea too I think.

  • @NachWolf
    @NachWolf Před 2 lety +64

    I feel like this could have been a Yorion pile with Search for Glory to help make sure you don't get janked out by Lifegain decks that get to 40+ life.

    • @handsomemonkey9852
      @handsomemonkey9852 Před 2 lety +13

      Isn't the game plan vs life gain to give them demonic pact?

    • @NachWolf
      @NachWolf Před 2 lety +6

      @@handsomemonkey9852 Fair point. But I still think there is a lot of upside in making it a Yorion deck. And at a minimum, Search for Glory tutors both halves of the Queza/Lich combo, and half of the Demonic Pact giveaway. Not to mention Yorion beats is a legitimate strategy

    • @Commander_Skullblade
      @Commander_Skullblade Před 2 lety +1

      The Queza combo draws you into Pact combo. You should be fine.

      If you can't beat your opponent after drawing your deck I'm gonna have to ask you to turn in your magic license :)
      Also Yorion makes it harder to find the combo pieces.

  • @SubtleSerpent
    @SubtleSerpent Před 2 lety +35

    36:45 am I crazy, or couldn't you win if you don't discard Queza? You would need to fade removal and extra damage from the opponent, but if you hold Queza, play it on your turn, Queza blocks the Trespasser, you take 4 from the Giant, sacrifice 4 lands, and you win on draw step? It is very low %, but it is possible they didn't have/don't draw anything. I'd love to see you play to those low % outs instead of conceding

  • @StonedVorlon
    @StonedVorlon Před 2 lety

    Been tinkering with deck in the best of one play ques. I decided to add Nine lives and Solemnity and it's been pretty decent. The lock gives you more time to set up the combo, some decks just can't deal and scoop, and it gives another lose the game trigger to donate for the destroy all enchantments plan.
    Thanks for the fun combo :)

  • @ciaran.downey

    Love the deck, harmless offering kills are fun

  • @r4g1ngph03n1x
    @r4g1ngph03n1x Před 2 lety +2

    32:40, yes, killing Trespasser won't save you if your opponent gets lucky, but it does save you on board. why do for the thing that if it doesnt work you definitely die? It doesnt make sense when if you dont die next turn, you get to then still draw for the answer and maybe win off the back of that.

  • @jrvaughn9038
    @jrvaughn9038 Před 2 lety

    That last game, at the end, you played around the Thought Seize and they actually drew it. If you had waited to draw the last 2 cards off Demonic Pact, they would've discarded the Harmless Offering. That was some next level gaming my friend. Nice job. That was awesome!

  • @Beowulfgang_Amadeus

    First of all: Can we get this tagged in the title somewhere with what format this deck is for? There are some formats that interest me a lot more than others and I'd like to know before I click on a video. It's not a Goldfish thing, it's a Formats thing :)
    Also I don't remember if I knew that Lich's Mastery + Demonic Pact was actually a combo (though not a game-winning combo per se). This deck probably wouldn't be playable without Queza!

    This combo seems good in Commander (two cards, one of them can be your commander and the other one protects itself) until you realize that with any more than 2 opponents you are going to run out of cards before you kill everybody.

  • @terakhan6656
    @terakhan6656 Před 2 lety

    So, hear me out on this. Historic+Alchemy shenanigans:
    -Oketra's Monument (white creature spells cost 1 less, create a token when you cast a creature spell)
    -Devilish Valet (1/3, trample haste, double its power when a creature enters your field)
    -Sigardian Evangel (enters, taps a permanent your opponent controls and conjures a copy of itself in your hand, costs 1W, or just W with the monument out)
    Have the monument and valet on the field, and start spam casting the evangel and its self-made copies. Each cast quadruples the Valet's power, as both it and the token enter. Three casts, you can swing with 64 power in trample.
