    Fun fact: Serge's Flame Slash in game 2 should be in exile with a void counter. Dauthi is still on the battlefield with 4 damage marked when the Flame Slash would go to the graveyard.

    So I’m pretty sure Serge didn’t mark the life loss from the first opposition agent swing. He should’ve been at 3 life less for most of the game. It doesn’t particularly matter since it turns out an 8/8 beatstick gets there, but Serge WAS incorrect when he said that by life totals he was winning.

    It literally did not matter but it is very funny to see Serge directly read the card Comet twice in two videos with this deck and mistake a -2 for a -1 on the 4/5 roll. Honestly there's an argument there that the PW cost symbols in normal text are very squished and hard to see sometimes.

    That was fun to watch, The only decision I had hoped to also see discussed was the end of game 3. Nelson made Serge draw 3 and lose 3 with wretched confluence to make the burden counters on The One ring potentially lethal. Why not just use the Deathrite Shaman's activated ability there to make Serge lose 2 life? With 4 burden counters, 4 life still makes The One Ring lethal on upkeep but lets Serge see 3 fewer cards looking for the life gain he needs. With where the Swords to Plowshares was, this would have been moot and Serge would have barely dug deep enough on his own, but this seems sub-optimal.

    I hate that Oppo Agent is two amazing cards mashed into one. A flash creature that lets you control your opponent when they're searching for 3 mana would be great. A flash creature that gets you anything that your opponent tutors for 3 mana would be great.

    Seeing a player on a high ring counter gain life in response to the damage trigger to not die doesn't feel as hype as I would like it to be. Something about drawing 5 cards and finding an out cheapens the thrill :/

    • @SyntheticReign
      @SyntheticReign Před 3 měsíci

      It's because the card is broken. If it was another card letting him draw to avoid the death, then it would feel good. But the fact that The One Ring lets you draw to avoid its own consequence makes it feel cheap.

    • @Mordalon
      @Mordalon Před 3 měsíci

      @@SyntheticReign Lots of cards with consequences for drawing also draw you cards. The card is very strong, but that overall pattern isn't inherently broken. Greed's Gambit from OTJ does that as well.

      @@Mordalon Yeah but Greed's Gambit punishes you when it leaves play. The One Ring can easily be reset with no consequences, untapped freely with other artifacts, it itself is an artifact so it's not hard to do more shenanigans with it, and it draws cards repeatedly. I'm not saying there aren't similar effects, but it's pretty unanimous that The One Ring was pushed WAY too hard. Even just a black pip in its cost would've balanced it some, since there would be a cost. It's ABSURDLY good.

      @@SyntheticReign You missed my point. I know Greed's Gambit isn't as good and has other downsides. My point was that, in a vacuum, the design of "card with downside that also draws you a bunch of cards which can get you ways of circumventing that downside" is something that exists on a ton of cards. That is not inherently broken, it's jus the One Ring is specifically an extremely pushed version of that.

      @@Mordalon Oh sure sure, that's fair. And I agree. The design philosophy isn't inherently broken, but I'd say it's clearly no strict enough if it allows cards like this to exist XD but yes, I apologize, I missed your point.
