🐘🐘🐘 PDH PALS RESPONSE VIDEO?! 🐘🐘🐘

I think this video from you was long overdue! Astrolabe is *the* card I think of when I think of Lobbert. Great vid!
Thank you! I had so many self doubts while making this video but I think this is a hill I can die happy on
A masterclass in card discussion, this one's going straight to the top. Fantastic work!
it's free real estate!
Well I'm convinced! *Cool* dissertation on one card. Would make for a worthy continuing series… what would be your choice for follow-up deep dive on one card? If I did one it would probably be Tortured Existence (so good). With 34 other snow permanents in 99 of Narfi, Betrayer King PDH is my only list currently running Arcum's Astrolabe. I think 20 snow lands (and too many tapped lands) in Kagha, Shadow Archdruid is enough that I should find room now. No 3 or 5-color PDH decks in my stable but will definitely keep it in mind for fixing (I heart snow-covered lands)
I actually thought of Tortured Existence as the other card that deserves its own video too so there must be something to that!
Amen
Great video. Did I understand correctly you’d argue against playing astrolabe in TPI? I’d say it’s the archetypical deck for astrolabe: just another easy to cast cheap cantrip that triggers TPI, synergises with skred and galblast, triggers several pingers, fixes for a color-intensive deck that wants to play untapped lands. Also provides fodder for demand answers and taps with moonscape prototype. Provides affinity for thoughtcast etc. Synergizes with over 20 cards. I never leave home without astrolabe in TPI.
When I made this video, authorities on the deck were off of it in TPI. A few more of them are playing it now. I was more trying to make a point that some lists are really tight and may not have room but even in a super tight list like that, I think you're right about it being color intensive so it probably even goes in there.
Have you done any math about how many snow basics you need to run to cast this card? I’m not totally against it, but my 3 color deck only runs 15 snow sources!
Great question! I’m curious what’s pushing your basic count so low. All of my 3 color decks have 21+ basics plus Ash Barrens and snow duals in some cases. 15 is closer to the number in my 5 color deck.
I’ll admit that I don’t have a specific number but if you count fetches toward your snow count, I’d say my minimum would be in the low 20’s.
the youtube algorithm found me
i mean, everything you said can be true and i could have found out about it myself a year ago...if it wasn't for the fact that in the pedh discord server most people want to play when it's 3 am for me because they live in NA and then the pod would be of maybe three people with me and another EU guy :/
That's rough. It's a great format. When I started, there were no games on Mondays but that was when I had free time. I've been able to get a group by planning in advance by asking for players about 6 hours in advance and using discordtimestamp.com/ to do time zone conversions for others. The other key was being really regular and letting players that were able to make it know that I did it the same time every week. I'm sure you're not the only one with the same problem
I actually think Astrolabe should be banned in PDH. It’s not too powerful but it goes in every deck and makes non-snow land mana bases less optimal. As the format matures essentially all decks will be snow based.
Since making this video, I've talked to a few cPDH grinders that don't agree that it goes in every deck and banning it would disproportionately hurt black, which isn't really a problem. It would also hurt Abdel blue flicker decks, which are dominant, but I feel like a more targeted ban would be better, not that I think anything really needs a ban.
you are right! i'm basically starting each list I build with astrolabe but in my mono black combo control nadier list I took it out, but its just too good
Yea, you need a pretty good reason to play it in mono.
