    I love how joseph countered the counterspell with his pact of negation instead of Nate's pact of negation so Nate was forced to spend five mana.

    • @onnilattu9138
      @onnilattu9138 Před 4 lety +1

      Yeah but Nate was a fool, he could have Pacted the Pyroblast instead of Force so that they'd have to counter the pact thus canceling the trigger.

  • @DarkEinherjar
    @DarkEinherjar Před 4 lety +15

    Adam can set the X in the Blue Zenith to be 100 or higher to ensure his opponents will lose to the Zenith's resolution, without the need of additional cards.
    You don't need to have an empty library to lose by milling; if you're forced to draw more cards than you have in your library at once, you also lose.

    • @aaronvincent816
      @aaronvincent816 Před 4 lety +4

      DarkEinherjar I’m sure Adam did it the way he did it for style points. He let Joseph go all the way to his draw step which I’m sure he could have avoided

    That double pact play was masterful. I always forget that anything on the stack can be targeted by counterspells.

    • @Sarcodes
      @Sarcodes Před 4 lety

      in a counterspell war where you're trying to counter a spell you shouldn't ever target the oponnents counterspell with yours, it's just a bad play (except maybe a mana drain that will net him/her a ton of mana)

    So amazing to see Baral getting some play on this channel (and a pretty great win)! One question for Adam: have you seen the Polymorph-Tidespout lists, and if so, why do you prefer High Tide/Enter the Infinite? Ever since the Paradox ban there hasn't been a clear preferred combo aside from Dramatic Scepter, and I'd love to get some more input from other Baral players!

    • @Sliver_Boi

    What does Bill think about the Leveller + Thassa's Oracle line for Divergent Kykar rather than Elsha/Spellseeker? I feel the Elsha/Spellseeker line has more potential points of failure.

  • @Usernameneverseen
    @Usernameneverseen Před 3 lety

    I might be missing something, but pretty sure (after two pact of negations and a FoW were just used) that Bill at 11:37 could've used that gamble to pull the By Force from his deck and blow up all 4 mana rocks on Joseph and Nates field, causing them to lose via Pact triggers on upkeep. He's got the mana for it, and they are both tapped out and just used 3 out of a total 4 possible free counterspells.
    Surely thats a better line than spinning top 3 times and drawing an underworld breach?

    As a Circu player myself, I'm moderately disappointed to not see Counterbalance/Lantern pieces in the list (or Bolas's Citadel frankly). That being said, it's always good to see another Circu list in the wild, even if it's not the same.

  • @LC-wv7tz

    Wouldn't Nate draw two cards at 6:24?
    Cast Ponder, Remora triggers. Joseph cannot pay 4, Notion Thief replaces the Remora's draw. Ponder resolves, Joseph looks at his cards, Notion Thief replaces Ponder's draw.

    Can anyone explain why it's optimal to run ElshaTop in a different deck, looking at that line it seems convoluted, why not just run Elsha as the commander?

    • @CasuallyCompetitiveMTG
      @CasuallyCompetitiveMTG  Před 4 lety +4

      Just for a chance of pace with a slightly different playstyle. Kykar is the mana reducer part of the Elsha combo and Kykar enables some other unique plays that can't be done with Elsha
