Love seeing the all alpha deck, your right, he’s pretty limited on control options, maybe some Icy’s for control, or maybe living lands when he had like 9 Forests out lol, birds or paradise with aspect of wolf into a growth and berserk would be a face smack. I would definitely sideboard lifeforce for those royals.
Absolutely, I think you still can. Cards like Berserk, Sylvan Library and Ice Storm are too expensive for budget, but the creature base is budget and some of the most important spells like Giant Growth and Crumble are still cheap as f* 🙌
@@richardboonstra3343 to be honest, you may not have Ice storms in a budget mono green but the alpha deck foregoes pendelhaven (which is cheap Legends Italian) which is just insanely strong.
Can someone explain to me why everyone flips chaos orb With one hand? Nothing in the rules says you have to use one hand. You can literally hold it with fingers from both hands, stand up and flip it with both hands, increasing your hit percentage
at 11:06 black player use the mana gained from the die of Su-Chi (during the combat phase). He cannot use this mana for a sorcery because in this phase only instat could be played, right?
I think that’s the problem with the blue power and the restricted cards, they are so easy to splash in your deck and because they’re so good… in the end you get 5 coloured decks with no identity. The question is, what do you want to play, with what colour(s) do you identify the most, what makes you happy :) I guess, that’s the Tim in me speaking. What’s your favorite color?
Great show! Black vs Green...such a classic matchup! 😁👍
Alpha40 deck - great :)
Great match. Also really enjoy your commentary!
Hey, thanks!
Royal Assassin is my favorite card 😍
spiders dont get old
And if they do, they only get prettier 🙌
Yes and u smash them they will bite.
Love to see a giant growth on a giant spider to gobble up a Serra 👯♀️
Growth Sara angel

Love the Living Lands idea!
@@TimmytheSorcerer death by basic lands, classic :)
Much fun with the game and an awesomly sunny and funny weekend! 🤘🐸🤘
🙌
btw with the last llanowar attack i was expecting a QUADRUPLE GIANT GROWTH + BERSERK.
imagine that.
That poor Orb caught a jetstream, and went a mile off course.
Giant spider us a azure drake green when he block but can be blocked by everything
Big brain green strategy. Can't have your cards discarded if you have no hand!
exciting matches!!
🙌
Non-alpha variants of the green deck were considered budget a few years ago.

I play it without Ice Storm and Berserk and it still works, not gonna make a top 8 probably, but loads of fun is guaranteed

mono alpha? incredible. but good luck finding an alpha black lotus and mox emerald
I personally like the alpha decks that are not optimal. That used to be the charm of the alpha format.
Man wish I could afford these decks.
The green deck is completely alpha 🤤
Rooting for alpha hands down.....but I think we know how this will go.....
Me too 🤞 He brings his Alpha deck to all the os tournaments as it is legal in all of them, really a great guy and lover of the game.
Anybody playing this format on MTGO?

Some people do. Everybody has their own technique. Play a tournament amd try it yourself 🙌
@@TimmytheSorcerer I have and I’m a two hand guy 😂

Correct, if it died in combat you can only use it in the combat phase. A Sorcery spell can only be cast in the forst or second main phase.
Definitely a misplay but in the end it didn't matter.
Green deck was brutal.
Why wouldn't you splash blue for the strongest cards in magic?

green mono without Sylvan Library???
It’s an Alpha only deck 🔥
@@TimmytheSorcerer amm, ok ok. Thanks
only cards from the alpha "expansion" lolol
😅 good point
@@TimmytheSorcerer all good homie!
What, no black lotus in the black deck? What a cheapskate! 🤣
Man wish I could afford these decks.
So much black border goodness 🤤
