    wow. it's rare that I learn something totally knew in mtg (other than new mechanics obviously) but that blocking with the shadow while taking a direct hit can allow it to survive cuz the damage is simultaneous n the state based actions check my life total before creatures Toughness, so he gets stronger before he has the chance to die. that's really cool, thanks Prof, I don't know if I'd ever have noticed that without it happening online since I don't play high level tournaments

      @W1DO Před 4 lety +3

      The focus on gameplay rather than just card choice is what makes this series a step above similar content - good job prof :)

    • @samverick
      @samverick Před 4 lety

      This can also happen if you cast Dismember for the phyrexian mana cost; since the life loss happens as part of the cost of the spell, your shadow gets an effective +4/+4 immediately.

      @Blackberry405 Před 3 lety

      yeah ok, but if he turns into a 8/8 does the other monster he is blocking die then? Or nobody dies??

  • @DamonXWind
    @DamonXWind Před 4 lety +5

    Mono Red prowess is the latest iteration of the tried and true Red Deck Wins formula. I think it is distinct from burn and worth a tech because it is easier to pilot than storm and more powerful than other budget decks.

    • @Eric_The_Cleric

      It's also a pretty easy upgrade into a Boros mentor deck if/when you have the upgrades. I love both decks equally.

    Now, these are the videos that i like that i like and keep me coming back. Just one thing. Collector ouphe doesn't kill urza, or shut it down. It just slows it down. Outcome doesn't really care about ouphe and urza just goes around it. Minor point, but an important point.

    @Starcraftgamer97 Před 4 lety

    I like janky stuff Professor: Kithkin Tribal, Werewolf Tribal, Monowhite Tron Tokens, etc. My current ideas is Blizzetkrieg (Blue/Red where I focus on straight up damaging my foes with 2 mana burn spells chopped to 1 with Goblin Electromancer, using Thermo Alchemist, and cards that copy my spells), Bruna's MAGA Stratagem (Wall tribal and counters/protection to buy time for Bruna to come out and hit hard with enchantments and some artifacts), and now I want to do something with Inkwell Leviathan.
    I'm thinking monoblue Tron or something with Blue/Black for graveyard revival as an option. I plan on putting Master Transmuters obviously but I don't know what all to put in it. Janky, stupid fun is usually what I go with lol

    I run abzan deaths shadow. Average cmc 1.7. Dont know how many games i have won dropping orzhov charm after my opponent swings out. Plays like a normal midrange deck. Really grinds the opponent down. I used to play junk but all of a sudden the siege rhinos couldnt get over all the tasigurs, anglers, smashers, etc. So i took out some lands, hierarchs, and rhinos and dropped in some shadows, bobs, and orzhov charms. Very strong deck woth a lot of sideboard options thanks to white.

    Hey prof Im a humans player an often I struggle with utilizing the right slots in the deck considering the deck has more cards available than what can fit in, even recently we got Charming Prince and its still not clear if he has a place in the deck. In other words a tech on your preferred build would be a helpful video for me and other humans players

    Jonathon Hobbs who Top 8'd the last Open cited his list from Brandon Dollaway, who is one of the premier players for Death's Shadow lists in Modern. He notes that W6 is bad for the list as you don't normally do well in long games. The exception with Tracker is that it provides actual card adavantage and is fetchable with Traverse the Ulvenwald. This is at its heart an aggro/combo toolbox deck. So save yourself almost $200 and don't get W6 if you're building this from scratch. And while I don't take anything away from Ally who is a great player, generally people have had great success following Brandon's lists and SB guides involving Death's Shadow, so look him up on twitter. With my experience he has been an easy person to interact with.
