- Brendan has called a snap video to ask Hayden to run through the Saber Boltyn deck's combo lines (which use Lumina Ascension) off the back of the decks biggest week. Beating out Chane in a number of regions this past weekend for Road to Nationals wins, the guys give you the details on how to play efficiently and understand the deck.

Sabers not facing opposite ways, video unwatchable, gg
(love the content as always guys)
You had my attention with “won more than Chane”
I wish I watched this before Vegas! Lost to it twice on Katsu. Excellent content as always! It was nice meeting you in person, Brendan!
Interested to see how many players play this and Chane at the Calling. Our local Botlyn players preformed well against Chane as well. Nice to have a Meta shake up leading into this weekend🤘
Great video! The emphasis on the bolt of courage draw block is super important. Lost a game myself where I was ready for 2 Luminas to come at me but the boltyn player drew his third lumina off of the bolt of courage hit that I didn't block. Can't stop 3 luminas by any means haha
Same. Peculiar🤔🤔🤔
@@achi-lles6903 haha you and I then know the incredibly backbreaking feeling when you see the third Lumina drop down from hand lol
@@abbasdedanwala7734 yeah. I got this i have a 5 card hand to come back with, he's only putting me to like 10. He's on 15 ill be fi-oh shit
Excellent video
Great breakdown guys! Something to add from having played against this deck twice in a RtN. I was playing Chane. I don’t know how much people are willing to give up slots in their sideboard, but I knew I would be facing the deck so I sided in eclipse existence, which single handedly won one of the matches. For those that don’t know what that card is, it is a 0 cost instant that states, whenever an attack hits a hero this turn you may banish a card in their soul, if you do they lose 1 life and if you have more life than the opposing hero, you may banish an attack action in your graveyard. It can also work decently against prism, if they have more than 2 cards in their soul, or if they don’t want to pitch to creat a spectral shield. Obviously, teaching against 2 heroes when there are 10 others, might not be in everyone’s best interest.
The other boltyn I played was playing a hybrid build and just drew really poorly. I think he drew into 2 charge cards in the match… so that was a little lopsided in my favor because of it.
While Eclipse Existence works, I would rather run Consuming Volition and Chains of Eminence, as those are usable against more heroes. Together with CnC that gives you 9 card to disrupt the combo turn. Consuming needs a bit of help, but trust me, the card is disgusting for Boltyn to deal with, especially buffed with Howl or Plunder Run.
@@VeganCATS1 yeah, I had that as one of my sideboard options. The surprise effect of eclipse existence can help a bit as well. Consuming can be a good card for aggro decks that don’t want to block. I don’t think we will see too many of those in the ToA meta though 🤣🤣🤣 TBH, I am ready for some hardcore grindy control games!
That’s not how Eclipse Existence is worded. Or did you mean it’s for your attacks and not for when they combo off?
@@BlanktonFAB I may have shortcutted the wording a bit. It reads "Whenever an attack you control hits a Light hero this turn, you may banish a card from their soul. If they do, they lose 1 life. If you have more life than an opposing Light hero, you may banish an action card from your graveyard."
2 words: Dread Scythe. Easy sideboard sub in for Chane against Boltyn, prioritise hitting them with it each turn in the midgame and they can't profitably combo off.
I mean Chane is the most non interactive decks and it’s not even a close second, Chane player: let me figure out what I will do with my 13 card hand, please hold
The chane strat is to have 4 non attack actions with 2 block in hand
In terms of the Chane match up, how does Seeds getting banned effect it?
Can only be better for Boltyn would be my immediate thoughts, but hard to say for sure without knowing what Chane looks like now. Overall though, I think the big question for Boltyn is what impact does Tales have and could Ice based decks be an issue for him?
Bruh you couldn't wait until after Vegas lol
I had the same thought... put together Saber Boltyn earlier in the week for Vegas...
How does chane keep their life high if they are supposed to aggro the boltyn player down ?
It is certainly a case of the best defense is offense. But also using your potential excess cards in hand to defend out in the early turns is key to keeping your life higher. It is a real balancing act and certainly not easy, but very doable.
Great video, hate that deck..
* laughs in Arc Sentinel *
That's why we run time snaps
point of pronunciation. Its Loom in ah Not Loom ee nah
It gives me great relief knowing that bad players playing this auto-pilot deck will not be getting free wins anymore. Thank you Arsenal Pass. You two are doing God's work out here.
I still believe this should be banned, limit to one lumina per deck.
Why
BUT THE SABRES ARE FACING THE WRONG WAY, DECKS TRASH lol.
Didn't want to bust out the Cold Foils.... next time.
@@ArsenalPass Offff Now we are talking!
