Great production quality and clear explanations. As an experienced Hapatra player myself I advice anyone playing her looks into playing Hermit Druid. In short: he wins with flashback through Dread Return on Necrotic Ooze which with just Devoted Druid, Channeler Initiate and Walking Ballista + haste enabler. Devoted Druid and Channeler Initiate as stated in the video are already naturally good in the deck. Necrotic Ooze aswell, since it can be your second Yawgmoth and/or Hermit Druid if either one was countered.
I've played this deck a bunch before. You like the sound of 10min cleanup steps? You better! But for real this deck is really fun, and it's one of those decks that you can't really understand until you play it. Heartily recommend
Can I ask what you think of the new spoiler from about a day ago that makes all your deathtouchers give two poison counters to players? I don't see cEDH possibilities but maybe just high power and tuned versions?
Yes, in cEDH it would be too slow, but in High power a whole different list focused around some infect and deathtouch creatures could get the job done. :)
Yes as we were finishing the video we noticed the new creature. For a lower power level it could get in, as a different strat perhaps, but not that good for the main idea behind the deck, and as you said, slow for cEDH
Deck struggles to win, alot of pieces to assemble etc, triumph of the hordes use to be played as a way of eleminating a player. That new green creature will definitely be played, well at least in my deck.
@@SplitSecond Agreed. If the Hapatra deck was tuned for a poison win then maybe it could be viable. But in your deck specifically, it will only slow down the combos. I do like that you updated the Hapatra list that I saw you guys use from a video a while back. I made a deck based on your list and it's somewhat budget based so I only kept the Yawgmoth combo line, with Razaketh as a backup tutor. I would probably try and use the new legend in that deck.
@@mstrikerwildrift cool! :) we're glad you liked the deck and gave it a try! As time passes by it's hard for us to update each deck we made for a game a while back. But we're always glad to help update any list on the fly if someone asks :)
Umezawa's Jitte. Its shown several times, but never explicitly explained. What are the scenarios you need it? What does it do for this deck to justify a card slot? For example over Blood Artist, Hermit Druid, Necrotic Ooze, Blowfly Infestation, or another piece of straight-up removal?
It's definitely a good card in hapatra! I did try it at some point, and decided against playing it since we only run the one blood artist (or maybe even zero), and without it, the card does not do much on it's own. I also felt there wasn't a need to play one more two card combo. There are a lot cool combos you can do with hapatra, but you can only play 100 cards. This list, originally created by cobblepot, goes in a direction that doesn't really pair well with blowfly combo in my opinion. But try it out and let me know if it's working for you! -Luis
I don't think you run enough cycling or discard in your deck to justify archfiend and shadow of the grave. Some interesting choices, some I wouldn't make personally.
This hapatra deck is built around the idea that sometimes, the cleanup step is the best discard outlet. Most games, you are trying to assemble a situation where either through necro, ad naus, yawgmoth or generous patron, you need to discard to hand size. This is where archfiend and shadow of the grave come in, enabling several loops described in the video. They are fundamental for this deck to function.
Yes that is true :X Although if someone has spot removal other than a sac outlet, it would be aimed at Hapatra or Yawgmoth. But sac outlets are something to consider indeed. :)
this is one of the best deck techs I have ever seen, kudos to you guys 👏🏻
Great work!! Nice job covering the deck :)
Great video. Im building a Hapatra deck and this is help me a lot. Thank you.
very informative, thank you for posting!
Thank you for the amazing content you went above and beyond this is perfect
Right what I needed 😍
Great deck tech was looking forward to another one from the split second crew. Might have to toss this deck together sometime.
Really interesting deck
dope deck tech my brain is still processing those ruling interactions haha
Yes

Woah, I'm so early.

The new green creature in Kaldheim could be a good strat for poison. But I'm not sure if it would be fast enough for cedh.

@@SplitSecondHi guys, I'm updating my old, low power Hapatra list to try yours.
Is there any way you might be able to update the list?

Jitte is mostly a midrangy control card that provides immense value for what it can do. Police the board on which creatures can stay or not :)
I know you haven't done them in a while, but I hope you revisit this series
We do have something in the works ;)
Why not run blowfly infestation? It goes infinite so easy!
It's definitely a good card in hapatra!

What is the difference between French and normal EDH?
French EDH is considered Duel EDH, that meaning 1v1 EDH with a different banlist and slightly different rules.
youre saying that this deck has more than one wincon, but only explained one wincon. i dont understand.
The links to your decklists do not seem to work.
You mean in this video? We just tested them and they work fine. Both in Firefox and in Chrome.

Minor caveat *if your opponents kill the target first, you dont get a snake or a card draw.* Big sad!
Yes that is true :X Although if someone has spot removal other than a sac outlet, it would be aimed at Hapatra or Yawgmoth. But sac outlets are something to consider indeed. :)
