They can't even attack with it because the are dead on board, and if they go after the creatures I can lightning bolt or cast one of the haste creature off the top. Eidolon has also won me so many games because everyone is playing cheap spells

  • @JuanFelipeCalle
    @JuanFelipeCalle Před 9 měsíci +1

    It's funny how the meta changed since this video -- or at least what I experienced. I faced a lot more aggro decks. Makes sense -- Channel isn't so good if your life total is low, and this deck, with it's damaging discard spells, does half the work of an aggro deck for it. So I changed it. Cut all the Mind Spikes, increased Inquisition to 4, added 3 Duress, cut 2 Thoughtseize, added 2 Collective Brutality. And I also found myself losing when I was able to get Paradox Engine on the field but had nothing to cast, so I added 4 Mishra's Bauble and cut the Chromatics down to 1 each. I also added Tormod's Crypt to the Sideboard, mostly to have another 0 cc artifact, but it also hit the aggro decks that use Dragon's Rage Channeler (is that the right name?), I cut Leveler and Bolas' Citadel, and added Staff of Domination (which I never used). And I cut two Buried Ruins, added one Inventor's Fair, and was down one land by accident, but I never noticed it. I still don't know what to do in the mirror -- whoever gets Karn out first wins.

    You can pithing needle a channel ability, as Pithing Needle isn't exclusive to cards on the battlefield. Naming Boseiju would work as intended. They can't even use the Boseiju on the Needle.

    • @bukkfrig
      @bukkfrig Před 9 měsíci

      I wouldn't think so. [[Pithing Needle]] affects activated abilities, where activated abilities are always written "[Cost]: [Effect.]" with a colon (602.1), and therefore [[Channel]] doesn't create an activated ability. Rather, it allows a Special Action (116.2c).

    • @calebjohn9810
      @calebjohn9810 Před 9 měsíci +1

      @@bukkfrigThis is the text box on Boseiju, copied straight from the card
      {T}: Add {G}.
      Channel - {1} {G}, Discard Boseiju, Who Endures: Destroy target artifact, enchantment, or nonbasic land an opponent controls. That player may search their library for a land card with a basic land type, put it onto the battlefield, then shuffle. This ability costs {1} less to activate for each legendary creature you control.
      Notice how there is a cost of 1G and discarding Boseiju, a COLON, and the ACTIVATED ABILITY of destroying an opponent's artifact, enchantment, or nonbasic land. Cycling and Channel abilities are activated abilities BECAUSE they have a cost to pay and a colon to separate the cost and the effect.

    • @TehPerz
      @TehPerz Před 9 měsíci

      Edit: Completely disregard my comment. I misread "Channel" as the card, not the ability on Boseiju. Sorry about that. Yes, you can name Boseiju to stop a person from channeling it.
      Pithing Needle doesn't stop mana abilities, and I don't think Channel provides an activated ability either (and therefore wouldn't be a mana ability). Channel simply says you can pay 1 life at any time to add C to your mana pool, but it isn't formatted like an activated ability ("{cost}: {effect}") and doesn't seem to be granting an ability to anything.
      To be honest, I'm not sure what kind of effect it is. It doesn't seem to be formatted like an activated ability, triggered ability, or replacement effect. Regardless, if it *is* an activated ability, it's a mana ability and therefore can't be stopped with Pithing Needle, assuming you can actually name the object that has the ability.

  • @NemoTrostle
    @NemoTrostle Před 9 měsíci

    Honest question here. You made a comment about why haven't they nerfed going first, and that made me wonder could they? What if people who went first could not play a spell on turn one but give them the ability to draw a card. I feel like it's the going first and playing a mana dork, or playing a hand-hate spell on turn one it really accentuates the advantage of going first. Perhaps if it was just the mana advantage gained by going first it would be a little more balanced?

      By countering the Channel, lol. The Channel decks can only add so many anti-anti meta cards before they dilute their list to the point of losing too much consistency, where other archetypes can afford to dilute their decks more than Channel can. And the other decks can keep up the arms race just as much as the Channel decks.
