I would argue that Peer Into The Abyss is the spookiest Standard card atm.
Oh man that card is super creepy
@@AbsurdHeroine It's inspired by The Face of War by Dali
@@Philippe620 That guy had something going on.
I also nominate the Reflection artwork for Alirios for capturing that beautifully creepy stranger-in-the-mirror vibe. Although maybe more of a subtle creepy than Halloween creepy :)
Spooky! Also creepiest cards are Creepy Doll and Sensory Deprivation. Best Halloween movie is clearly The Nightmare Before Christmas with Hocus Pocus being a solid choice.
Was just coming down to the comments section to say this! Nightmare Before Christmas is hard to surpass
I love the Nightmare Before Christmas.
Facts
Creepy Doll is awesome, had it in a paper deck once. And the best Halloween movie clearly is The Nightmare Before Christmas. Though honestly Tim Burton would fill half of my top 10 best Halloween movies ;-)
It’s alright that this is late, what matters is that you’re happy with what you’re posting. Also really cool deck, always loved this color combo.
You're awesome. I wish I could heart this twice.
The Witch! Very spooky!
Good movie.
Nethroi is super spooky scary. Nexus of Fate is another big spooky scare.
Don't worry about the lateness! Life happens. Thank you for continuing to make content for us and helping brighten our days. Keep it up!
Best Halloween movies are Army of Darkness and Rocky Horror Picture Show in a close tie. Nice deck ideas - once again, you've put together a lot of synergistic card combinations. The return from the graveyard of the 0/0s that have +1 counters to take advantage of Nethroi - that's really clever.
That Lotus IS a bit "Little Shop of Horrors"-y, isn't it! Nice Halloween pet. Although I wouldn't oppose the trusty black cat either. Assuming it wouldn't give us all combo deck PTSD...
Trick r Treat and Event Horizon are great Halloween time movies.
Yea...life will get in your way sometimes, really appreciate your content. Keep up the great work!
I'll just go with a mass market option with Ghostbusters, admittedly not the scariest movie - although some of the bits nearer the end definitely stuck in my mind as a kid - but especially because it doubles as an answer to "Halloween movie" AND "Halloween song" haha.
I was walking my dog, thought of Nethroi randomly when trying to think of cool cards to build decks with. When I went inside and got on youtube this vid was on my recommended at the top. haha
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Hell yes. Love off-meta decks. She is the best. Super fun to watch her play.
So happy to see a deck that utilizes one of the Apex creatures. :) You are awesome!
Why do you have all these card styles?! I'm so jealous, right now! 😅
Jokes aside, nice deck and video.
Happy Halloween! 🎃
I'm a sucker.
Finally an abzan nethroi build!
Loooooved this theme!
13:20 - By my count you had only 6 power returning, so you could've sacrificed the Visionaries before the trigger so they could be returned them too! Honestly once you get your Nethroi to go off it probably doesn't matter much but hey, there's no spook like overspook amirite :)
Favourite Halloween Film:When I was a child I loved Charlie Brown Great Pumpkin and it was rare to see it The Grinch's Halloween.
Runner Up: ET
I like to include a couple of world shapers in my Nethroi decks.
Oh that is a good idea! I can't bring myself to add any of the starter set cards, but that's no reason others shouldn't.
@@AbsurdHeroine While we're on the subject of starter deck cards, I've occasionally used Inspiring Captain with Nethroi too. Really bad if it winds up in your hand, really great if it goes into your graveyard.
Happy to see you return! This deck is really fun, and I so want to build around it. Fun thing, Scourge of the Skyclaves makes a great addition here. It interacts with Nethroi in a weird way; if either player causes it’s power to become negative, it actually adds to Nethrois ability, so you have a higher total power number!
Woooo cool! I was thinking of the "negative numbers act like they don't exist" rule, but that turns out to ONLY apply to "the result of an effect" (incl. combat damage), not to any intermediate calculations like I was thinking. Rule 107.1b of the 9/25/20 rules if anybody wants to join me in nerd-lawyering :P
Also, a Scourge of the Skyclaves explains where all those apparitions came from!
OMG...NO NECROPANTHER??
Perfect start for a month of vacation! :)
That sounds lovely
Hocus pocus will always be the Go to Halloween film. Now just waiting for the sequel, even tho sequels never tend to be better than the first.
Great deck. Thank you!
in the first game you could have gone full control, tap the elves to get mana, sacrifice them to the woe strider and then mutate the apex of death onto the woe strider, so you could have revived them too and have got 2 extra cards!
For me the scariest card right now is Embercleave, i am always scared of it.
That might not be the spookiest card to be honest.
It does sneak up on you.
Why on earth would there be a dislike on this video?
Happy Halloween! Great deck, awesome job.
good video I think it would even hold up in diamond in mythic.
Fun deck, but it needs more hard removal. I think subbing out the merchant for two heartless acts is better.
Good game!
Also, Necropanther fits in the deck and speed it up a bit 😊
a really scary looking monster I don't see played alot is "Blitz Leech" I remember using him in an Obsessive Stitcher deck.
Or you could build around "Reaper of Night" who looks alot like death, him self
My deathtouch tribal deck from last standard really did feel like a zombie apocalypse, what with all the zombies (mire triton, foulmire knight) and its extreme usage of rabid bite and other bite effects. I miss that deck. It just isn't the same without WotS Vraska and season of growth.
As for my favorite Halloween movie, its definitely Monster Club. A vampire takes a horror author to a nightclub for monsters, and it alternates between catchy, monster themed, British pop-punk concert scenes and horror shorts (featuring Vincent Price). The whole club is just people in silly masks and the music is surprisingly good
Its stupid fun and I don't know why it doesn't have a cult following.
Never heard of Monster Club, but it honestly looks good.
Themed content? Fun!
We watch Hocus Pocus and Labyrinth when we decorate for Halloween. On Halloween we watch Flash Gordon and Rocky Horror.
Do you ever have fun guessing where people are from? I do. I've been looking at you and I've been speculating. I'm from northern Europe, so obviously my ability to catch dialects and such is limited, but by your style and demeanour, I figured you had to be from the east coast, probably an urban setting with some old family history possibly. You're a mix of rough and sophisticated. A natural candidate would be NY, but that would just be a wild guess. But then I just now heard your pronunciation of the word "card". Seemed to me like you had some fun with saying it that way but that it's within your sphere so to speak, and I thought aha: Boston! So I checked your Instagram, and there it was; Massachusetts. I took a long time before I got the final clue I needed, but now I am so proud of myself.
Haha, like Geoguesser for people! Well done!
Quale is the scariest cahd for knowing where you live from listening to one video :P
Cool top.
Thank you!
We need to get the Queen of Jank some more views and subscribers; Not enough people are enjoying this caliber of Jank
Magic symbol card back is mastery level 31. You have lotus though :) I should have gotten 17 packs instead, naaaaaaa.
Great deck! Fiend Artisan is nuts. If only there were enough sugar/candy themed cards for a Treat instead of a Trick deck. 36 copies of Bake into a Pie i suppose?
Its not a standard legal one, but there are some really cool Witches in historic, esp from JMP
Cool deck. Cool styles. Love Lotus as well
I chose MTG (among other card trading games) not only because it's really good and the most interesting but also because it's beautiful. So, it is always a pleasure to watch your videos because you are applying "foils" 😇😁😎🤗
Halloween
Maybe hagra mauling over agadeem? Also idk if grey merchant is really helping the deck. Maybe consider grakmaw as a value play?
I suggested more hard removal, like heartless act. I agree, the merchant isn't helpful since green is more prominent.
The scariest movie I have ever seen is Hereditary. 100% worth a watch
if you're going for Halloween deck then Turn into a Pumkin seems like a no-brainer!
Oh man, you're right!
Do a janky witch/food theme deck! Bake into a pie, tempting witch, etc.
Oooh, I like that idea. It would have to be Historic though for the Jumpstart cards.
@@AbsurdHeroine You are right! I checked and there are not many witches in standard right now. Anyway, happy halloweek!
Is it not worthwhile adding Mythos of Nethroi, given the abzan-ness of the deck? Great off-meta build, thanks! And also...is it just me or, when you pay indatha triome, is the rock giving you the finger??
SPEWK SOME PEOPLE
Any plans to make an EDH deck of Nethroi and take it to MTGO?
no ultimatum ?
No mythos of nethroi?
I enjoyed watching the simic mill deck get destroyed. Its the least fun to play against if you happen to start with no removals.
I find Slitherwisp to be even worse with no removal, because then it's basically "oh...so...you never run out of cards now, okay" whereas at least with the mill stuff they still need to do something to keep the engine running. Long story short I hate that metadeck magic is won or lost by "did you draw your removal", oh well.
@@jerodast I'd agree , I'd add Teferi's Tutalage is the most annoying as it's even harder to remove, and if combined with draw card effects it's just such a bore to play against. (so now all my decks have to have an enchantment removal of some sort)
hey I'M the one askin the questions! and my question is do you have any embarrassing tattoos
I only have one tattoo and it's the Triforce. Needless to say, I am not embarrassed.
@@AbsurdHeroine cool!
@@AbsurdHeroine And I thought those Triforce earrings of yours were serious! Nice :)
